Volume 1 Afterglow of Doom Chapter 4 Information

His eyes were slightly open, and Ying Zheng's eyes were full of phantoms, and he felt as if he was in heaven, because he could barely open his eyes because of the light in front of him. His eyelids were as heavy as lead, and his head was dizzy as if it had been spinning in a drum washing machine for an hour.

Ying Zheng struggled to get up, but eventually fell down with a shudder.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ying Zheng came to his senses, and he did not go to heaven to be reunited with his dear father. He was still in the underground lab, and the incandescent lights were on as always.

This time he stood up, he looked around, and when he saw the syringe he had broken, he remembered that he was in a coma because of the genetic optimization solution he had injected.

That is, success? Ying Zheng is not sure, this is his first experiment, and he only has a rough guess about the phenomenon that will appear after the injection.

"At least, I'm not dead." , win is thinking.

After regaining some strength, Ying Zheng began to clean up the laboratory. He cleaned all the experimental equipment, scrubbed the test bench, and then began to sort out the materials brought from the Zhucheng research, and arranged them neatly on the work table next to him.

When he basically cleaned up the information and reports, Ying Zheng found the red USB flash drive in the innermost layer of his handbag.

"It's... I got it in the institute? The current spirit of Yingzheng is still a little trance.

Ying Zheng instinctively opened the computer, inserted the USB flash drive into it, and he skillfully opened the files in the USB flash drive, there was nothing special, only some basic genetic information and experimental reports. And he's seen it a hundred times.

Ying Zheng remembers that he did not have a red USB flash drive, and at that time the door of his studio was locked, and there were only two people with the key to Ying Zheng's studio, one was himself and the other was Professor Feng.

"This USB flash drive belongs to Uncle Feng?" Ying Zheng was a little puzzled, if Uncle Feng wanted to tell him something, there was no need to put a USB flash drive there, maybe he accidentally left it there?

Or maybe he has something to tell me but can't say it explicitly. Ying Zheng thought about it, and tried to find the hidden file in the USB flash drive, and sure enough, there was really such a hidden file, but it needed a password.

Ying Zheng tried to enter Uncle Feng's birthday, the display failed, and the file showed that if the correct password was not entered three times, the file would be automatically destroyed, and the next Ying Zheng naturally entered his birthday, and when he was ready to find out, the password was ruthlessly displayed incorrectly.

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a sense of urgency.

"There are only three chances... The password set by Uncle Feng... Three people... Could that be Feng Jie's birthday?" Yingzheng seems to have a special preference for birthdays.

"Anyway, if you make a mistake, it's a big deal to ask Uncle Feng, it's mysterious, are the elderly like this?" , win positive YY to.

After entering the password, the red password invalid interface did not pop up, and Yingzheng knew that the bet was right this time.

"It seems that Uncle Feng is still..."

But he was quickly shocked by what the documents contained. "Genetic Disaster", "Genetic Evolution Conjecture", "Fusion and Grafting of Gene Chains", all of them have never heard of Yingzheng.

Is this Uncle Feng's new research? Ying Zheng clicked on "Fusion and Grafting of Gene Chains" with conjecture, because he had just injected the gene optimization solution.

Ying Zheng took a cursory look at this information, which said that genes are linked by a chain structure, and they can be grafted by deleting invalid genes and implanting target genes, which coincides with Ying Zheng's thoughts. But the gene fusion in the back is a bit metaphysical, and even Ying Zheng, who is extremely talented in genes, understood it for a long time before he figured it out.

In Professor Feng's statement, genes have a very powerful predatory attribute, which seems to be related to human instinct, which is a necessary condition for human beings to adapt to nature, and genes will continue to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and evolve as if they were alive.

However, Professor Feng found that despite the powerful predatory properties of genes, they seemed to be locked and restricted by something. Otherwise, the endless plundering and fusion of genes, although it will make humans more adaptable to nature, will also increase the risk of genetic collapse.

In his next research, he found that there is a lock-like structure that locks genes, he named this lock-like structure, there are six gene locks, the fewer gene locks in the body, the stronger the predation and fusion of genes, and the greater the risk of gene collapse.

Gene locks are generally extremely stable, and as long as they do not receive large doses of radiation, a person will not unlock a gene lock in their lifetime.

However, it was not until a few years ago that Professor Feng discovered that the genetic locks of humans seemed to be loosening, not only of humans, but also of animals and plants. While this amplitude is small, it does exist.

Professor Feng conducted ultraviolet irradiation experiments on some plants with relatively simple genes, and found that there were indeed more plants with genetic mutations and survived than before, indicating that the gene lock was indeed loose, and the more mutations and survival numbers of plants with simpler genes.

This made Ying Zheng think that the iron fern on the back mountain, it seems to have undergone a sudden change in some direction, which corresponds to Professor Feng's theory.

After that, Professor Feng did many experiments and carried out in-depth research, and then he came up with the report "Genetic Disaster".

In "The Genetic Catastrophe", Professor Feng shows that the trend of loosening the genetic lock in recent years is rising in a straight line, and it is getting faster and faster. Professor Feng said that the human body has a genetic threshold, and when the tendency of the gene lock to loosen reaches this gene threshold, the gene lock will break, thus releasing some of the predatory and fusion of genes.

What will happen then, it is unknown.

He also found that before reaching the genetic threshold, the time of different age groups is also different, and the older the age, the shorter the time, the greater the chance of unlocking the gene lock.

Rather, what causes the gene lock to loosen, and what determines the time to reach the threshold. Professor Fung said below that after several years of research, he believes that it is the degree of toxin accumulation in the body. Among them, there are toxins produced by industrial pollution, such as PM2.5, photoradiation, various flue gas dust, etc., as well as pesticide pollutants, ultraviolet radiation and so on.

This may also explain why the older you get, the shorter the time to reach the threshold. This can also explain why this situation has only emerged in recent years, because the rapid development of global science and technology in the past decade has brought about a negative impact of more atmospheric emissions, and the global greenhouse effect is becoming more and more serious, and it has reached the point where it cannot be delayed.

Professor Feng speculates that perhaps in a few years, the global genetic locks will be loosened, and at that time, this world will be a world of genetic fusion, where countless people's genes will collapse and countless people will succeed in living.

That would be a time of genetic confusion.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and the cold sweat behind his back almost soaked the white coat he used for experiments. This also seems to explain from the side that he managed to survive after being injected with genetic optimization solution, because his gene lock was loose, or... Unlocked.

Later, Professor Feng conducted a series of experiments and found that the simpler the gene, the greater the chance of successful gene fusion, and the more complex the gene, the smaller the chance of gene fusion. Because the more genes, the greater the rejection of genes, and genes are not perfectly compatible with each other.

This can also explain why the mutation rate and survival rate of those simple and inferior plants are higher than those of higher plants, and under normal circumstances, the genetic survival rate of animals and plants is much higher than that of humans, and the genetic survival rate of humans is pitiful, just like the probability in zombie movies, only a handful of humans can survive, and then they have to face natural disasters and food crises, because plants are mutated, and there will be very few animals and plants that humans can eat with confidence.

Professor Feng also discovered that genes can be evolved, and by constantly plundering the dominant genes of other species and fusing them with their own genes, human beings can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to know the ultimate perfect gene, which he named the divine gene.

That kind of gene would not have any drawbacks, and it could be called a god, and the same divine species might have an extremely long life.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng's eyes froze, and he saw hope.

He hurriedly watched.

Professor Feng said that the higher the degree of gene fusion, the greater the degree of gene lock unlocking, and the greater the risk of gene collapse, and he once tried to mix more than a dozen genes together, and such creatures undoubtedly collapsed their genes and turned into a wriggling mass of flesh.

Here, Professor Feng mentions that the fewer and leaner the genes, the greater the chance of becoming a divine being, because they do not have superfluous invalid genes, the lower the risk of gene collapse, Professor Feng mentioned a case.

This made Ying Zheng think of himself, and he was sure that Professor Feng was talking about himself.

Ying Zheng slowly leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly touched his chin with his hand, which was his usual move.

This explains why I miraculously survived after injecting genetic optimization solution, as well as the abnormal mutation of plants in the back mountains.

"Is the loosening of the genetic lock imminent?"

Win is swiping down to report that he wants to find out how long it took to reach the threshold, but, unfortunately, Win is not found.

"It's like it was deliberately deleted, and it's impossible for Professor Feng not to speculate on the time, and there's nothing written in this report."

He remembered the anomaly of Professor Feng persuading him to return to his ancestral house.

"Isn't it?"

Before he could think about it, he heard the sound of iron bars being struck outside the ancestral house.
