Chapter 21: The Secret of the Human Gene
"Elder Zhang, did you say that the corpse will evolve?" Luo Feng remembered the different corpse he had encountered before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Lao took a deep puff of his cigarette, showing an expression of great enjoyment, and then looked at Luo Feng and asked rhetorically, "Humans have all evolved, do you think the corpse will not evolve?" ”
"The law of nature pays attention to an equilibrium, and this equilibrium exists between all things, just like heads and tails, there are positive and negative, everything is in it, human beings have only appeared in history for a maximum of 3 million years, and the earth was almost destroyed, all kinds of wars, all kinds of pollution, human desires are endless, and this bottomless pit of desires, hollowing out the earth, you think, there is that race on the earth can do this, in fact, we always regard ourselves as the spirit of all things on the altar of God, I remember a famous explorer who walked alone through a desert when the reporter thanked him and said, "Congratulations, you have conquered this desert!" Guess what that explorer said? Zhang Lao didn't give Luo Feng an answer immediately, but talked about some inconsequential things.
Luo Feng is not in a hurry, he can't sleep after a long night, and it's not bad to chat with him.
"What did that woman say?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
When she walked out of the desert, she knelt down in front of the desert and was silent for a long time. When a reporter asked her why she knelt down after conquering the desert, she said with great sincerity: "I don't think I conquered the desert, I am thanking the Taklamakan for allowing me to pass." ”
"Mankind loves to say "conquer nature" and "...... demonstrated the power of humanity".
How can the conquest of nature be called conquest? Climb up and kick your feet, is this "conquest"? A dozen or twenty people were ready for a year and a half, full of supplies and equipment, and someone had to set up one front camp after another for them, and they were anxious to avoid storms and avalanches, and if they were lucky enough to climb to the top of the mountain, they could plant a flag and say that they had conquered the mountains and even conquered nature? ”
Zhang Lao said a lot in one breath, which made Luo Feng feel how he looked like an environmentalist.
"In the long-term development of human beings, they have long lost their reverence for nature! And when this awe is completely extinguished, human beings have already dug their own graves, and perhaps this global catastrophe is a punishment and irony of nature's arrogance to human beings. Zhang Lao looked at Luo Feng and listened attentively, and nodded slightly.
When he said this to Luo Feng, he thought that Luo Feng would not be able to listen to it, and he had no patience to listen to it, after all, until now, will anyone listen to you say this? More people worry about how to survive.
"I've told you so much, do you understand anything?" Zhang Lao looked at Luo Feng and said.
Luo Feng thought for a moment and then said: "The extremes of things must be reversed, the earth can no longer withstand the rapid development of human beings, this is the opposite, and this disaster, from another point of view, may be positive." It is a kind of salvation from nature, just like we shake off some dirty things in our bodies. ”
"Eun, that's pretty much what it means, so the evolution of the corpse is inevitable! But with such a large group of corpses, the chances of evolution may be a little smaller.
However, such a huge base number of corpses is placed there, so although the base number is small, it is also a large number after evolution, and it is not only humans who have mutated, but also beasts, if they all mutate, the probability of human survival will become smaller and smaller.
"Those beasts are already faster and more powerful than humans! What about after the mutation? I guess it's a nightmare for human beings. Zhang Lao guessed worriedly.
Luo Feng originally listened with relish, but listening to Zhang Lao's speculation, his face became a little unsightly, there are nearly 6.5 billion human beings, of which 6 billion have been infected into corpses, and this base is slowly getting bigger, not to mention some other creatures, what do you think about wolves, tigers, bears and the like, probably the most common is the dog in captivity by humans. Luo Feng thought that if they were really the same as Zhang Lao guessed, the consequences would ・・・・・・・
"I had a miniature special military radio station a few days ago, and I heard that someone had discovered that reptiles had mutated, and mutated animals on all fours were uniformly called creepers, and corpses were all classified in the same rank, but before I could continue listening, the radio station was broken."
"Creepers? I hope I'm not so unlucky. ”
Zhang Lao looked at Luo Feng, whose face was getting more and more ugly, and couldn't help laughing: "What? Scared? ”
"Well, it's a little bit, but I'm afraid I can't help it, Elder Zhang, there's another problem." Luo Feng doesn't care what kind of creeper he is, solving the problem in his heart is the main thing.
"I know what you're trying to ask is the question of why humans evolved." Zhang Lao guessed.
"En, please also ask Elder Zhang to answer the doubts in my heart." Luo Feng humbly asked.
"Did you know that the other side of humanity is the most proud of it?"
"Well, maybe it's thinking and laboring." Luo Feng said uncertainly.
"Half of it is right, the most proud of human beings is the human brain and genes, the reason why human beings can think and have emotions is entirely because they have brains that are different from birds and animals, and they have genes that are different from birds and animals."
"But, do you know the secrets of human genes and brains? Zhang Lao continued to ask.
"Elder Zhang, I don't know anything about this, don't embarrass me, you say, I'll listen." Luo Feng was speechless, although he was a college student, he was also a college student who didn't study well, okay.
"Haha, okay, no kidding you." Zhang Lao said with a smile.
The weight of the human brain accounts for about 3% of the weight of our body, but the energy consumed accounts for 20% of the energy of our body.
Since the current scientific research, the development rate of the brain in this life, from birth to old age, has only accounted for three-tenths, or one-tenth, or even less, and 90% of the brain still seems to be asleep, and it has no effect at all. Because it's the common areas of the brain that we use a lot. We don't know anything else.
"The genes of humans are also a mystery, so to speak, the genes of humans are the most complex and mysterious of all races." Zhang Lao said excitedly.
Obviously, he is not only an environmentalist, but also a madman of academic research, Luo Feng understood when he looked at the flickering fanaticism in his eyes, and the sensible did not interrupt him.
"Do you know gene intervals? You don't know. When Zhang Lao talked about this aspect, that kind of fanaticism, Luo Feng on the side was stunned.
The "intergenic region" refers to the DNA sequences interspersed between genes that do not code for proteins and make up the vast majority of the human genome. With the exception of a few that may have functions that may have gene expression regulation, there are essentially no well-defined functions. ”
It is important to know that in order to ensure the integrity and accuracy of GDNA, our body consumes a relatively large amount of energy. However, it is difficult to understand that most of the GDNA that our bodies have spent a lot of energy and material protection and inheritance are meaningless to us. Therefore, some scientists speculate that these "gene intervals" must not be useless, but they are sleeping like the brain, and if these genes can be awakened, the sleeping brain will be awakened. The human power is unimaginable. Zhang Lao said excitedly.
"Eh, Elder Zhang, according to what you mean, the current awakened person is the one who awakens the mysterious gene in the body? Right. Luo Feng concluded.
"En, this kind of people have opened the door to evolution, and what greets them is a completely different path, as fast as lightning, far beyond the supreme power of ordinary people, etc., if I am not mistaken, you Luo Feng should be an awakened person."
Zhang Lao guessed.
"En, I'm an awakened person, but I almost hung up at the beginning, and I died for a lifetime." Luo Feng thought of when he woke up. I was still a little scared in my heart.
"Hehe, do you think anyone can open the door to evolution, no one can say the mystery of the human body, and the genes present in it are also good and bad, uneven. It's said to be awakened, but it's just a name, people awaken through the injection of genetic drugs airdropped by the state or awaken after being infected by the corpse, do you know why the mortality rate is so high? Zhang Lao asked with a smile.
"Why?" Luo Feng asked, because he almost died in the first place.
"Because at the beginning, someone's body gene chain can withstand the ravages of these viruses, these viruses completely disrupt the original genetic sequence of human beings, reorder, and when reordering, wake up the mysterious genes in the body, this is the so-called awakening, and when awakening, the cells will usually speed up the division at a rate of 100 times and 1,000 times, and the human body will produce unparalleled pain, if you can't bear this pain once! The result is one - death.
Luo Feng nodded, thinking of the pain like a thousand cuts, he didn't want to try it again.
The two talked happily, and before they knew it, it was completely dark, and the whole night covered the land, and the ground was full of cigarette butts, and I don't know how many cigarettes the two smoked.
Okay, I know that's all there is to it, a large part of it is my own conjecture, and you don't take it all seriously, after all, there are no instruments now, and there is no further detailed study, everything is just my guess.
"En, thank you Elder Zhang, it's late, Elder Zhang, let's go rest, I'll keep vigil." Luo Feng said.
"Hey, you're old, people, it's really not good to be old, then you work hard, I'm not welcome to be an old man." Zhang Lao smiled and turned around to rest.
"Go ahead, thank you Elder Zhang." Luo Feng said, and after speaking, he sat quietly on top of the mound alone.
Stars dot the night sky, and for the night sky, the moon and other stars are his best companions! Moonlight falls on the barren land! Luo Feng's thoughts didn't know where to drift, his resolute face occasionally flashed a trace of pain and nostalgia, some people, not to say that they can forget, struggle on the edge of life and death every day, he often thinks of Zihan, the girl he loves to the bone.
In today's troubled times, I don't know if she can take care of herself.
And his own mother, Luo Feng thought about all this, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, he lowered his head deeply, and grabbed his hair with both hands.
"Is there any smoke?" A slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears, which startled Luo Feng, who was in a trance.
