Chapter 260: Experimental Lifeforms
……
In the next 20 days, all the colonists of the two spaceships have fully recovered, and in the past 20 days, the vast majority of people have been watching the latest situation on the Mermaid Planet through the screen on the spaceship.
Obviously, it is also very exciting for these Israeli colonists to come to a new living environment.
After all, they were selected from tens of billions of people, and although a large number of them were ordinary people, even if they were ordinary, it was their luck to have the opportunity to be selected.
Later, when the two spaceships officially flew to the space docking point outside the Mermaid Planet, all the people began to enter the spaceship's teleportation pod in different batches, and then directly entered the human habitation inside the planet through the spaceship's teleportation pod.
Now, after several years of construction, two urban areas covering an area of 1,000 square kilometers have been built on the Mermaid Planet, which is the same as the Universal Star Sea City on Earth.
It's just that now these urban areas are on a new planet, and the name is not Huanyu Xinghai City.
Instead, it's called Cosmos-Homestead Phase I, which is the name of the entire planet, and then each city is divided into different numbers.
At present, the two urban areas that have been built are the first phase of the home, A1 and A2.
Among the two urban areas, there is a whole floor in the A2 area, which is also completely planned and built into Yang Yu's personal exclusive residential area, after all, the founder of Yang Yu Huanyu Company, must enjoy some privileges in all aspects.
On the day Yang Yu arrived at the Mermaid Planet, the first thing he did was not to visit the scenery of the entire planet, but to come to a biological gene laboratory to check the latest status of a research plan.
"Boss, these are the materials we have discovered in the past few years by collecting a large number of genetic samples of different mermaids. ”
When Yang Yu heard the researcher's introduction, he just nodded, and did not go through these materials carefully, because there are many contents of these materials, and it would be a waste of time to let him read them all by himself.
In addition, Yang Yu has known about the content of these research plans for a long time, and now the reason why he came to this laboratory to check on the mermaid planet is that he wants to see their latest research results with his own eyes.
And this research on the genes of the merfolk began not long after the arrival of the Chinese Shenwei starship.
And when they first conducted the research, from the very beginning, these researchers found that the DNA of these merfolk was very similar to that of humans, and it could even be said that from a certain point of view, the DNA of these merfolk was exactly the same as that of humans.
Because according to the research data currently available to these researchers, these merfolk living on this planet began to appear on this planet about 20,000 years ago, and this planet had some relatively large land masses at that time.
Even before the appearance of these merfolk on this planet, the species that ruled the planet were also some large dinosaur-like creatures.
The DNA of these merfolk is nearly 95 percent similar to that of humans.
After coming to this conclusion, these researchers also speculated whether the current merfolk on this planet had the same ancestor as humans, or whether the two were related before.
In order to prove this, in the past few years, this laboratory, which only a few people know, has conducted various studies with a large amount of merfolk DNA, and has even cultivated some experimental life forms by analyzing the DNA of these merfolk people.
For example, now, what Yang Yu is watching is a brand-new life form, which was successfully cultivated in the laboratory a few days ago, so Yang Yu came directly to the laboratory after arriving at the mermaid planet.
At this moment, the experimental lifeform that Yang Yu was watching was actually a female human who looked exactly like a normal human, but at this moment, this beautiful woman with excellent appearance and figure was completely naked under a sealed water.
In other words, this beauty that looks exactly like a human is actually a new life form cloned by these researchers of Huanyu Company by extracting the DNA of the mermaid clan and then modifying some DNA.
Before the success of this lifeform, the other cloned and cultivated test subjects had died for various reasons, and so far, only this one seemed to be very normal in all aspects.
And this lifeform, because it was created by extracting the DNA clone of the mermaid race, so now this experimental lifeform, although it has no original scales, the original fish tail has also become normal human legs.
However, she retains the ability of the merfolk to breathe freely underwater, which means that she can still breathe normally underwater through her own skin.
She was even able to dive to a depth of nearly a thousand meters without the help of any foreign objects.
That is to say, this experimental lifeform, except for the absence of the mermaid's tail and scales, retains the ability of the merfolk in all other aspects.
And if these experiments that Yang Yu asked people to do now can be verified, then maybe in the future, they will be able to use the DNA of the mermaid clan to create some new humans.
However, this kind of genetic and biological experiment related to human beings itself involves many problems, so now Yang Yu has asked people to secretly conduct genetic experiments in private, and the current situation of this experiment will not be announced to the public until a reliable result is completely obtained, or before a decision is made.
And at this moment, when Yang Yu looked at this experimental lifeform through the glass of the laboratory, the other party seemed to have noticed something, and then also looked at Yang Yu and the group of researchers who followed him with great curiosity.
Some of these researchers are senior technicians recruited by Yang Yu from the system, and some are real human researchers.
And these scientific researchers are all newly cultivated by Huanyu Company, so there is no need to worry about loyalty, after all, Huanyu has been winning the entire human social group for decades.
Now all human beings have long been accustomed to such a social form, that is, a private company, which in all respects is completely above the state institutions.
Even, in the eyes of many people, they only recognize themselves as employees of Huanyu Company, and they don't have any special feelings about nationality or anything.
