Chapter 318: Genetic War (1)
Genetic selfishness?
After listening to Li Mo's words, everyone felt a little incredible, with an expression that you are a fool when we are.
Caesar said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, we all know that genes make up the basic fragments of life, and they are unconscious. ”
"Really?"
Li Mo smiled, "Then how do you explain that newborn small animals will instinctively look for milk to eat, and will desperately run away when they encounter natural enemies." ”
"That's the case with every life." Star-Lord said with a hippie smile, "This is called the desire to survive." ”
"Good." Li Mo nodded, "Even the most basic single-celled organisms will instinctively escape from the environment they don't adapt to, what I want to ask is..."
"Where does this desire to survive come from?"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't answer, afraid of death, who would be entangled in this kind of question.
Li Mo looked at them and shook his head, although the science and technology of these interstellar empires were advanced, they were far inferior to the earth in terms of ideological depth.
"Since the birth of each gene, the only purpose is to preserve itself as much as possible and strive for a smooth continuation in the universe."
Li Mo talked eloquently...
"So, species instinctively choose what is best for their genes."
"The most intuitive thing is that it will reproduce and replicate as much as possible, and the genetic republic of the same origin will choose to become a community."
"We will choose to do anything for the survival of the whole race. For example, in the current situation of the Cree people, probably many people will sacrifice themselves to preserve this group. ”
"And because each individual's genes are slightly different, they all want to fight for more reproductive rights in this group, so there is a colorful sociality."
"For example, many males in the biological kingdom of the earth will fight for their own reproduction, or build nests to attract females. This is true even in modern society. ”
"And females will also judge whether the male's genes are good based on these, and can better help this gene fragment in their bodies survive."
Ronan suddenly asked thoughtlessly, "What about love?" ”
Li Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Emotion, civilization and consensus, this may be the difference between the souls of advanced species and ordinary animals. ”
Below, Crystal's face became a little unnatural.
Ronan shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Li Mo's opinion, but he didn't refute it, but asked, "What does this have to do with Ultron's choice?" ”
Li Mo touched his chin, "If he treats the Wolves race as an extension of himself or a mechanical doppelganger, then this will be a terrifying legion." ”
"But if he wants to create a civilization, he will inevitably give this race free thought."
"The composition of the Fawolfx clan is too homogeneous, almost all of them have the same genetic fragment, they are a large genetic community, and they share common interests."
"This social structure is a bit like a kind of bee, in order to keep their genes pure, they only have a mother, and the genetic fragments of the mother are different from them, so the mother queen is reduced to a poor reproductive machine."
"Of course, Ultron will definitely not lay eggs, but he will face a terrifying genetic community, and the common interests of the two sides will always diverge."
Li Mo suddenly laughed,
"Ultron, this guy is simply asking for trouble."
…
The capital of the Kree Empire, Hala Star.
The place has completely changed its appearance, the original imposing geometric buildings have all been bulldozed, and countless steel and organic matter have been transported, forming a strange appearance in the continuous fusion.
Hundreds of meters thick, bifurcating like tree roots, biomechanical assemblages spread across the planet.
There are 100-story high, spor-like delivery rooms on it, and many infected and transformed Farwolf Clan are soaked in the nutrient solution, and it only takes a day to transform into the real Falwolf Clan.
In the central plain of the planet, a terrifying tower-shaped building thousands of meters high is entrenched in it, like many tree roots entwined together, and green crystal eyeballs grow.
At the top of the tower is a platform where Ultron, who has been completely reborn from the Supreme Intelligence, sits on a towering throne and is thinking crankily with his cheek in his hands.
While on Conradchate, he had questions about both chaotic organic life and even more chaotic intelligent life.
What is the ultimate purpose of life?
Is it for the sake of evolution?
In search of this answer, he decided to create a perfect race that combined the best of both.
Despite the defeat on the planet Conlaxiat, on the corpse of the Kree Empire, the Fawlox Clan rose perfectly.
It was the best race in his mind, free from the physical aging and suffering of organic life, nor the aimless chaos of intelligent life.
Powerful, emotionless, races with the same genes don't have any internal chaos, the whole race coalesces into one, and any target that stands in its way is crushed.
This perfect race is bound to stand on top of the universe!
His judgment proved that the Falox had taken over most of the Kree Empire in just a few months.
It looks like everything is going in a good direction.
However, he always felt that something was wrong.
The nascent Fawolfx had no idea of creating the flower of civilization such as technology and culture, and seemed to be just trying to fight and expand the group.
But it doesn't matter, technology will be given as he evolves, and as for culture, it will only disturb the mind.
His goal was to create a race and become the god of the race, thus giving the Falox people free thought.
Of course, in order to prevent backlash, he will constantly monitor the minds of this race with the Mind Gem.
After a few times, it was discovered that this race had nothing but loyalty and worship for him, and there was nothing to worry about, as long as he continued to create new people here.
But Ultron always felt that something was wrong, and his mind seemed to become more and more dull.
So he decided to do something, and after scanning the entire planet, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad... Today, 20,000 newborns have been born..."
…
on the Frontier Planet.
Li Mo's welcome banquet was over, and although the two survivors reached various cooperation agreements, they did not get specific opinions from Li Mo.
Because Li Mo told them to stay still and not make indifferent sacrifices.
The good thing is that Li Mo has already found a way to inform the Galactic Council of the situation in the Kree Empire.
This was a thunderclap on the ground, and after repeated confirmations, many members of the Galactic Council were almost stupid.
How did a powerful interstellar empire come to an end?
Because the Skru Empire and the Xia Empire were still in chaos, the panicked other member states, led by the Nova Empire and Sovereign, placed heavy defenses near the stargate leading to the Big Magellan system.
Ten fleets and millions of ships have now been assembled there, and there are even reinforcements on the way.
If necessary, the survivors of the Kree Empire can evacuate the Great Magellanic system through the Stargate, subject to strict isolation and screening, of course.
After everyone left, Li Mo continued to look through all kinds of information about the Fawolf X clan alone, and gradually, his brows became more and more relaxed.
This race seems to be perfect but goes to extremes, the exact opposite of the flaws and changes he has learned.
"The fireworks are brilliant but only for a moment..."
Li Mo chuckled, he decided to stay and help the survivors, not only for the laughter of those children.
In order to prove their own ways!
…
When Crystal returned to the Inhuman barracks, she suddenly had nothing to do, and continued to comb her hair in the mirror.
Queen Medusa suddenly pushed the door and walked in, she looked at her sister, slowly stepped forward and stood behind the chair, pressed Crystal's shoulder and said, "Have you really decided to marry Ronan?" ”
Crystal hesitated and nodded.
"Do you love him?" Medusa asked.
"We were the product of the Cree, their evolution has come to an end, and we have more powerful genes than them," Crystal replied. ”
"I believe this is a win-win cooperation, and the Kree will have a bright future under the leadership of the Inhuman royal family."
"We've been royalty for a long time, and we're good at it."
Medusa shook her head, "It's just some people's thoughts, the Black Bolt King doesn't have a clear answer, if it's in exchange for sacrificing your happiness, I don't think he will agree." ”
"He's always silent, isn't he!"
Crystal suddenly erupted as she spoke.
"This is the most beneficial union for both sides, a symbol of unity."
"Neither I nor Ronan would be stupid enough to take it as a manifestation of personal feelings, I didn't choose to marry him because of love!"
Outside the window, Ronan was holding a bouquet of flowers that he had personally cultivated in the greenhouse, but he wanted to surprise Crystal when he heard this, sighed, put the flowers out the window, and turned to leave.
What he didn't hear was that after he left, Crystal suddenly covered her eyes and cried as she spoke.
Medusa gently stroked her sister's hair, "You still haven't answered, do you love him?" ”
Crystal still didn't answer the question,
"I hate myself..."
…
Outer perimeter of the Frontier Galaxy.
A state-of-the-art stealth reconnaissance ship is docked on a meteorite, constantly observing the strength of the survivors.
It's all the Fallox clan.
The ultra-long-range quantum signal jumped several times, and Ultron, who was far away in the capital city of Harra, learned all this.
"Good, I've finally found the rats."
"Perform covert operations, carry out a fleet of armed forces, and blockade the entire sector."
"Once you've dealt with them, march into the galaxy!"
As his order was delivered, the entire Fawolfx clan was in motion, and countless ships were concentrated in the Frontier Star Field.
Ultron didn't care about the rest, he believed that the mighty Wolf Clan was unstoppable.
Examining the newborn people again, Ultron nodded in satisfaction, then scratched his head.
"It always feels like something is wrong..."
