Section 103 Genetic Reconstruction

"Continental plate movements occur mainly in the Eurasian and African plates. South and North America were swallowed by the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. The Pacific plate is squeezed up, forming new landmass. The Earth's axis changes due to the overall displacement of the Earth, and a large amount of magma from the interior of the Earth's crust brings new radiation. However, the main area of radiation is the north of the New World, and the south has little to no effect. ”

Tianhao nodded thoughtfully: "Large-scale earthquakes have brought new sources of radiation? Intense radioactive material flowing out of the ground with magma? ”

"Yes, you can understand it as a new, previously undiscovered open-pit uranium mine."

Tianhao felt relieved and a little incomprehensible: "Will radioactive materials affect objects in the natural environment?" For example, a car is seriously damaged in a non-radiation environment, but can this effect be delayed in a radiation environment? ”

He remembered the "Great Wall" car he saw on the road when he entered the northern area. It is indeed inconceivable that natural corrosion, which has lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, has remained quite intact.

"It depends on the specific regional environmental data to get the results of the analysis. However, this possibility is not ruled out. ”

Light Brain continued: "The whites in the south of the continent are very different from you. Their ancestors were another confrontation group before the nuclear war, and although they were also influenced by the "human modification theory", their research and development direction is different from ours. ”

Tianhao asked suspiciously, "Isn't it a giant?" ”

"They opted for multifunctional human body modification." The screen displays the text at a steady speed: "Grow wings and fly freely without the help of any foreign objects; Increase the thickness and hardness of the stratum corneum of the skin to resist the damage of bullets of any caliber; Strengthens teeth and nails, strengthens muscles and body coordination, and becomes an inexpensive biological weapon...... The level of secrecy of this information is so high that we don't know much about it, so we can only infer the approximate situation. They also had a plan for the reproduction of humanity at the end of civilization similar to ours, but it was clear that the constitution of the white people in the south was no different from that before the nuclear war, exactly the same. ”

"So they can't enter the north, and can only use the Lock Dragon Pass as the boundary?" Tianhao felt that this was a good thing: "But why do they have more advanced scientific and technological power than the northern barbarians? ”

"The movement of the earth's crust has never been a fair thing. The damage to their base should not be so severe, and the central computer has more or less retained some of the ability to be imported by civilization. But based on the early satellite monitoring data, I estimate that the residual level of their civilization information is not very high, 20 percent...... Not more than twenty-two percent at most. Otherwise, they would have worn radiation suits and drove planes and tanks to break through the Suolong Pass and occupy the entire new world. ”

"They're evolving too......," Tianhao's eyes flickered with a dark light that only he understood the meaning of.

The light brain misunderstood this sentence and took it as a new question: "Hundreds of years have passed since the Great Destruction. Of course, they are evolving, adapting to new environments. The Suolong Pass is a natural natural hazard formed by plate extrusion, but it cannot ensure the eternal peace of the northern part of the continent. ”

"Why?" Tianhao hurriedly asked.

"Radiation can't last forever. They fade, they disappear. Just because white Southerners couldn't get in a few hundred years doesn't mean they don't have the ability to do so now. Even if it doesn't work now, what will happen in the future...... No one can be sure. ”

The cramped, dilapidated space fell silent again. An indescribable loss enveloped Tianhao. He withdrew his right hand from the wall he was clinging to, and used his left hand instead to swap the position of balance. He felt exhausted, and even such a small movement would take away what little strength he had left.

"Are there any other survivors? I mean people like me...... The Awakened. ”

"Nope." The light on the screen flickered for a moment, and he added: "The base is badly damaged, the surveillance satellite has been lost many years ago, and I can't detect the outside world and get more information." According to my calculations, the three batches of dormant personnel before and after should be partially dead, with a less than 1 in 1 billion chance of waking up. ”

"Why are there dinosaurs?" This was one of the pressing questions that Tianhao felt had to find an answer: "Are they naturally generated?" Or is it the result of genetic reengineering? ”

"Genetic reengineering. This stems from an early simulation program. The plan was proposed by archaeologists in the 19th century, believing that dinosaur genes could be found and replicated on a small scale through the excavation of fossil bones. The project itself was actually a remake of the movie "Jurassic Park", which was not operational at all at that time, and could only be included in the computer storage record as a reference material. Twenty years later, some people proposed a plan for the "large-scale reproduction of extinct organisms", arguing that extinct species could be selected for large-scale replication, so as to achieve the goal of rebalancing the earth's biosphere, reducing human intervention and reducing investment in environmental protection in the later stage. The plan was discussed for seven years, but due to various considerations, the plan was eventually sealed and not implemented. ”

"During the period of great destruction, earthquakes were frequent, and the reading program of the base center's optical brain was incorrect, and the "extinct organism scale reproduction plan" listed in the same information database was automatically executed. The gene arrangement pattern of the project is paired arrangement, and the vegetarian species and meat food species are genetically reconstructed one-to-one. Serial number one: Velociraptor vs. Triceratops. Sequence Number 2: Pterodactyl vs. Petty Herbivorous Dragon. ”

There was no follow-up text on the screen, and Tianhao felt strange: "What is Sequence Three?" ”

"There is no sequence three." The cursor continued with the text: "The non-human special reproduction program only executed Sequence 1 and Sequence 2, and the Central Optical Brain Auto-Repair Program corrected this error. Under normal circumstances, combat units or robots should be dispatched to exterminate the erroneously cultivated species at the first opportunity. However, the base was badly damaged, and we had nothing to do, so we could only immediately suspend the erroneous reproduction plan. ”

Tianhao remembered that he met the velociraptor that licked him with his tongue on the way: "They don't seem to be hostile to humans? ”

"This is also part of the bug. The base has made detailed records of the physical changes of all dormant people, especially the third batch of dormant groups, and the genetic information of all people is stored online and sealed in each base. When the breeding of special species sequences 1 and 2 began, the earthquake caused a large rupture of the gene pool, and the third dormant population was partially mixed with the genes of prehistoric species, so that the two sequences of four species would have a natural affinity for the same gene carriers. ”

"Natural closeness?" Tianhao was a little surprised, and then thought of the legend about the monsters in the north of the continent passed down by the villagers of Panshizhai by word of mouth, and asked suspiciously: "This kind of closeness is only limited to individuals?" Or will it spread to the entire post-disaster human reproduction community. ”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it should be limited to you alone."

"Why?" Tianhao was even more surprised.

"The third group of dormants is a special group. You exist to deal with the extreme dangers of future wars. Therefore, from the very beginning of genetic modification, your enhancement process is different from that of modification in the normal sense. You can create reinforcement points through combat, high-quality nutritional intake, and micro-hormone secretion in the brain to supplement your own deficiencies and deficiencies. ”

Tianhao suddenly became nervous: "This really works?" ”

This is a question you should ask yourself. Because you are now a strengthener. Light Brain replied: "In fact, the development level of this plan is not complete, only 98%. The reason why some of them are missing is that it is not possible to calculate the extent to which the final evolution will be. In terms of human genetic modification, we were already at the forefront of the world at that time. Frequent calculations measured in trillions prove that the modifying agents injected into your body are very safe, do not shorten lifespan, and do not cause fundamental adverse effects. The only possible side effect is probably a slight change in the overall appearance due to the enlargement of muscle fibers. ”

"What about ordinary people? As you said before, Project Giant is aimed at everyone. ”

"The genetic mixing caused by the damage to the base does not involve them, but only for the third batch of dormant subjects. The genetic audience will have the same effect as natural reproduction and reproduction. For example, if you conceive a woman and give birth, your offspring will inherit this genetic trait, and this is the case for the third, fourth, and fifth generations. ”

"Mass diffusion?"

"Yes."

Tianhao gritted his back molars hard: "Will this situation affect the white people in the south of the continent?" ”

"How do you have that thought?" The text displayed on the screen was clearly sarcastic: "Yellow, white, black...... There are significant differences in the genetic makeup of different races. As long as the genetic arrangement is mastered, even if it is the same virus, targeted infection group restrictions can be achieved. A strain of the virus was released in North America and Europe, killing all white people, leaving humans of all colors unharmed. This is by no means a scenario from science fiction, but a biological weapon that can really be used in real combat. ”

"Project Giant is our top secret and there has never been a sign of leakage. Although science knows no borders, we will never be so altruistic as to extend the benefits of the entire program to the world. They are them, we are us, it was like that before, and it is still that way. ”

Silence again.

Tianhao smiled bitterly in the shadows: "Old Mama, is there any part of the base that can be functioning normally?" ”

This is actually his main concern.

The answer was so cold: "No." ”

Tianhao still didn't give up: "How is the situation in the weapons production workshop?" Can it be fixed? ”

Answer: "It was destroyed by an earthquake 620 years ago, and a large amount of magma poured in, and it was impossible to repair it. ”

"Where's the weapons stockpile?"

"The magma heat caused a massive explosion and the warehouse was completely blown up."

"The light equipment workshop is located on the surface, what is the situation there?"

"Completely ruined and unusable."

"What about food processing plants?"

"Completely ruined and unusable."

Tianhao asked all the departments and workshops in his memory, and the answers he got were the same, and his heart that had just had a trace of ups and downs sank to the bottom again.

"How can I get help from you?" After thinking about it for a long time, he changed to a more general way of asking questions that he felt should have a little effect.

"I can't help you in any way." The text displayed on the screen is so frustrating: "I'm just a light brain...... No, I've lost most of my computing power. In its current state, it can only be regarded as an information memory at best. I designed it to have a lifespan of 3,000 Earth years, and I kept my hardware in good condition by manually or automatically replacing internal storage parts. All of the site's solar absorption units were destroyed, with only one geothermal absorption probe still functioning, providing the few amounts of energy. Although you have the highest secret level to date, the supreme power that governs me, unfortunately, I can't do anything. ”

"The future is up to you."

"You're human, and I'm ...... Just a machine. ”

There is no doubt that the old mama has shown signs of intelligence. If the base is functioning properly, its changes will attract the attention and attention of all researchers.

"I'll show you something! This is information obtained by the secret service personnel from special sources in the early days of the nuclear war. ”

Some text and pictures appeared on the screen.

……

Over the years, the high military expenditure has been one of the contradictions within the United States. The Special Human Modification Program has allowed the Pentagon to see the best source of funding cuts. They added a new sub-item to the plan: multifunctional soldiers.

There will be all kinds of surprises in battle. Even the most powerful weapons and equipment require human soldiers to operate. Replacing humans with machines leads to a range of uncontrollable situations. If these accidents happen to the enemy, of course, everyone is happy, but if they happen to their own people, they will cause terrible disasters.

Therefore, no matter how high the military spending, it is impossible to completely eliminate human soldiers. This is the basic view of the United States.

Genetic modification can lead to more changes in human appearance.

Increasing the length of the legs allows the soldier to run faster; Strengthen bones and strengthen their individual combat ability; A drastic increase in the cuticle can turn nails into claws, and think of a humanoid tiger or lion, equipped with hot weapons for long-range attacks, vulnerable to such an extremely powerful army.

As long as we do the above, we can drastically reduce the number of troops, if not the equalization, at least to the current level, and the damned opposition members of Congress will not attack this problem forever.

The United States has made remarkable achievements in the study of human modification.

Preliminary research subjects have emerged from the culture chamber and are feeling normal for a six-month adaptation period, with no change in all body monitoring indicators.

Until Mars unleashed that terrible catastrophe.
