Chapter 695: Experimental Ground

"Don't get me wrong, Uma wasn't created by the Advent, but my spirit. Actually, many people, including you, don't know about the Adventists. ”

"Really?"

"Like us, the Adventists are the product of natural evolution, and they also evolved from single-celled organisms, went through the process of going from simple to complex, and developed intelligence when the way life was constructed was complex to a certain extent, and finally beyond evolution. Influenced by the environment in which they were born, the Adventists are very different from us. For example, in the aquatic stage, the Adventists had a high level of intelligence and created a very brilliant marine civilization. In terms of the way they reproduce, the Adventists are not fundamentally different from us, and they still reproduce sexually at the beginning, as a way to increase the probability of genetic mutation, thus making evolution easier. It's just that when the technological civilization has developed to a certain extent, the Adventists have given up the evolutionary mode of reproduction and adopted a new method of reproduction, that is, directional reproduction. To put it simply, before being born, each Adventist is targeted at a specific social position, and by controlling and changing genes, he has acquired the necessary abilities to be qualified for this social position. ”

"This ......"

"Surprised?" Feist smiled and said, "You've been to the United Continent, and I don't think you should be surprised by that. Although the Doomsday Empire has not yet developed to this stage, as long as there is enough time, sooner or later, the Doomsday Empire will evolve into a similar social form under the constraints of resources, replacing all natural reproduction by directional reproduction, so as to strictly manage the entire civilized society. ”

"Resources?"

Feist nodded and said, "It is the resources that facilitate the targeted reproduction of the Adventists. Although the micro-universe owned by the Adventist is much larger than the solar system, and there are many more resources in it, and the Adventist has also conquered other micro-universes and obtained the resources of other micro-universes, but compared to the explosive growth of the number of individuals, the resources in the micro-universe are far from enough. For the sake of civilization as a whole, controlling the number of individuals is the only option. ”

"What does this have to do with you, with Uma?"

"Obviously, there is no distinction between the sexes of the Adventists."

"What?"

"Although, as with humans, in the beginning, there was a gender in the Adventists, both male and female, directed reproduction changed all of this, and changed the basic social ethic. Directed reproduction does not have any requirements for sex, or even the number of broodstock. To put it simply, you can clone an individual as a mold, or you can obtain an excellent genome from an infinite number of individuals to synthesize a new individual. ”

"This ......"

"How many parental genes each bred offspring has, and what kind of genes, is completely determined by the social responsibilities it has to bear."

Chu Tianjiang was shocked, but it was not unimaginable.

"Obviously, in the eyes of the Adventists, there are no men or women, and therefore the Adventists did not consider gender when they created us."

"What do you mean?"

"All of the creatures created by the Adventists are male, at least the direct manifestations are all male, and all the experimental subjects actually have dual sex genes."

"Dual-sex genes?"

"In each subject, there is an extra pair of chromosomes, and the sex chromosomes of each experiment are XXYY."

"This ......"

"To put it simply, you can say I'm a man or you can say I'm a woman. It's just that, in the sex chromosome, the male gene is more prominent, so my sex characteristics are male, not female. It's just an extra pair of sex chromosomes that allow me to create a woman based on myself. Fester smiled and said, "Obviously, it's a bit like a story in the Bible. ”

"So, you created Uma?"

"Not only that, but based on myself, I can't create Uma at all."

"Need the genes of the invaders?"

Feist nodded and said, "In fact, the invaders are very similar to humans at the genetic level. It is precisely for this reason that I believe that human beings and invaders are the work of the same creator, but they have evolved into different forms due to the environment in which they live. ”

"Similar?"

"The chromosomes of the same double helix structure are the same twenty-three pairs, and even the number of chromosomes is about the same, the only difference is that the chromosomes of the Adventist are used more thoroughly. Perhaps not the result of evolution, but the result of advances in science and technology. ”

"What do you mean?"

"At the dawn of civilization, the Adventists were very similar to humans. In other words, after making great strides in science and technology and entering the stage of self-evolution, the Adventists made fuller use of those untapped genes, and gained superpowers through this means. In fact, humanity has already taken this step, but it has not yet developed and has been contained, thus losing the opportunity for self-improvement. ”

"This ......"

"It is in this way that the Adventists were able to integrate their genetic fragments into the genes of the human race, creating a powerful being like me. Unfortunately, what the Adventists did not anticipate was that human genes are highly malleable, like a blank sheet of paper with nothing. ”

"Blank paper?"

"Although I don't know how much time it took for the Descenders to enter the stage of self-evolution, and how much time it took to reach the current level, it must have taken a lot of time, and the changes in genes caused by self-evolution, coupled with the results of targeted reproduction, made the Advent overlook an extremely serious problem. In the genes of human beings, it is clear that drawing the future on this blank sheet of paper is an extremely easy thing to lose control. To put it simply, before we were created, the Adventists were not aware of the great potential of these experiments, and therefore could not be prefabricated, and the created experiments would become a great threat. ”

"They destroyed the rest of the experiments and left Earth?"

"You can say that, but not quite. Even for me, the understanding of the world is a long process that takes a lot of time. The Adventists abandoned the experiment, though not all of the results, hoping to gain some additional benefits. ”

"What do you mean?"

"They didn't leave, at least not all of them, one stayed. Of course, you already know that the Adventist is hiding on the northern continent, and does not exist in physical form, but only preserves all the information related to him, and is with the energy source. ”

"Stored in the power source?"

"You're smart." Feist smiled and said, "The Adventist must have a purpose for doing these things, and it is a very important purpose. ”

"For what purpose?"

"Sooner or later, they will return to the solar system, they will return to Earth, and they will dominate the evolution of human civilization."

"This ......"

"Don't forget, before leaving, the Adventist used a powerful confinement to isolate the Northern Continent, the New World, and the United Continent. Although the Old World was not isolated with a strong confinement field, if it was unable to break through the confinement field, it was equivalent to losing contact with the other three continents. In a sense, the four continents are all the testing grounds of the Adventists, and the four experiments are being carried out at the same time. ”

"But the only one who succeeds is the United Continent."

"Since it's an experiment, and it's a natural evolutionary experiment, and it's not directly controlled by the Adventists, it's very good to have a quarter-in success rate. Of course, strictly speaking, the experiment on the United Continent was also unsuccessful, at least the development model of the Doomsday Empire had little future. ”

"And then?"

"Apparently, there was a serious disagreement within the Adventist and no decision was made on whether or not to take the third route, so the Adventist did not return. The point is, if the Adventists agree and decide to take the third route, they will definitely return to the solar system. It is precisely because of this that one of them remains on Earth, ready to welcome his returning companions and lay the foundation for the control and transformation of human civilization. ”

"The problem is, he didn't do anything."

"His existence is an extremely important thing in itself."

"Unfortunately, something happened."

Fest laughed and said, "You're right, there was indeed an accident, and this accident is me, the most powerful being created by the Advent himself. ”

"Really?" Chu Tianjiang also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

"And, of course, you. At least until you leave, the Adventist thinks you're dead, or rather doesn't think the Creator will send you back. In any case, more than 10,000 years ago, the things you did were not outstanding, and your knowledge of the entire universe was far from what the savior of humanity required. Under normal circumstances, the creator will no longer choose you. Maybe there is no other choice, so you come back. ”

Chu Tianjiang did not refute it, because what Feist said was the truth.

"The Adventist thinks that by imprisoning me in subspace, they can rest easy. There's nothing wrong with that, because for thousands of years, I didn't recognize the outer world, and I didn't try to leave the subspace. It wasn't until Uma came along that that all that changed. ”

"Uma?"

"Although you and I have had similar experiences, you've never been alone, so you can't understand what it's like to live alone for thousands of years, let alone the benefits of having a partner." Fester paused slightly, "Uma, changed me, and changed the whole history. ”
