Chapter 216, Genetic Evolution
"Whew!"
Yan Jia was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat on her beautiful face, she was very tired at this time, but she was also very excited, the scene just now, she also saw it clearly, for the understanding of life, for the understanding of genes, many things that have puzzled themselves have disappeared, but at the same time, there are more, more doubts emerging.
"If only I had held on a little longer."
Yan Jia was a little annoyed that he couldn't hold on any longer, and he still seemed a little reluctant to use the cultivation of the Yuan Master level to urge the Heart of Life, and he couldn't hold on for too long, and the Heart of Life was like a bottomless abyss absorbing his own life Yuan power.
"Yan Jia, are you okay?"
Sun Xinyuan came up to help her up and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that the Yuan Force is exhausted, as long as you cultivate for a while, thank you."
Yan Jia smiled and shook her head.
Because Yan Jia's Yuan Power is exhausted, the empire can't find a second Yuan Force cultivator who cultivates Life Yuan Power to the Yuan Lord level, there are some Life Yuan Force cultivators at the Yuan Shi level, but there is no way for cultivators at this level to urge the Heart of Life, and the Yuan Power consumed to urge the Heart of Life is too huge, and the Yuan Lord level is reluctant, and only when he reaches the immortal level can he be at ease.
Although it is not possible to continue to urge the heart of life to demonstrate the mystery of life for the time being, the scientists of the empire have also gained a lot this time, and the imperial scientists who have watched this scene in person have been greatly inspired one by one, and their understanding of life has developed by leaps and bounds.
Imperial Academy of Biological Sciences, at this time, a large group of giants in the field of imperial biological sciences are discussing something fiercely, although Yan Jia's Yuan Li has not fully recovered, but there is no problem at all to participate in some academic conferences and the like, Li Fu, as the originator of the imperial biological science research field and Mount Tai, naturally cannot be absent, not to mention that the last time, he witnessed a magical scene, Li Fu also gained a lot of inspiration, and also wanted to communicate with other scientists.
"In the past, we thought that the YX003 gene fragment belonged to the gene fragment of division and reproduction, but now it seems that we are completely wrong, it should actually be attributed to the regrowth gene sequence, which can explain why we have always had problems with the reproduction of new species when we carry out genetic recombination."
A scientist is now expressing his opinion on a virtual image, in which an image of a gene fragment is zoomed in.
In fact, the most important research direction of the empire's biotechnology development is genetic research, because genes are the foundation of biology, and the direction of genetic research can be subdivided into many, such as genetic recombination, gene mutagenesis, gene preparation, etc., it is obvious that the scientist on the stage specializes in genetic recombination.
The world of genes is like a vast universe, and various genes have been combined to form completely different species, but although the types of organisms are very large and vast, in the final analysis, everything is ultimately determined by genes.
For example, organisms are used to reproduce, although the way each organism reproduces is completely different, such as plants use seeds to reproduce, cell division to reproduce, birds, fish, etc. use eggs to reproduce, mammals and plants and birds and beasts and so on are completely different.
But in essence, the gene fragments used by organisms to reproduce are all the same, all of which evolve from the most basic initial reproduction gene fragments, and eventually evolve into various reproductive gene fragments such as one, two, three, four, and so on.
Another example is to obtain energy from the outside world, the way plants obtain energy is relatively simple and direct, plants rely on roots to obtain nutrients from the soil, and rely on leaves to receive sunlight for photosynthesis; Animals basically rely on eating plants and other animals and plankton to obtain energy and nutrients to survive.
Although these two ways are very different, they are essentially two gene fragments that evolved from eating gene fragments, we all know that there are also carnivorous plants in plants, such as man-eating flowers, man-eating trees, etc., this kind of plant is also very common in the interstellar universe, and the animals themselves also retain some genes that directly obtain the nutrients needed from nature, such as animals generally need to eat salt, such as cold-blooded animals snakes, crocodiles, etc., which need to bask in the sun to raise their body temperature and so on.
Through the study of genes, the scientists of the empire classify and summarize various genes, such as dividing genes into reproductive genes, feeding genes, immune genes, perception genes, etc., there are many types, and each major category of genes can be subdivided into many sub-categories of genes.
Of course, there are various methods of gene classification, and now there is a relatively new classification method, higher genes and lower genes, this classification is the focus of the distinction between higher organisms and lower organisms, scientists believe that the reason why higher organisms are advanced organisms is because in each gene fragment, the genes of higher organisms are each primitive gene evolved to a relatively advanced stage, with a large number of advanced genes.
In addition to low-level genes and high-level genes, the scientists of the empire believe that there are two more advanced genes, the wisdom gene and the god gene, and the wisdom gene is naturally very easy to understand, and the scientists of the empire study the countless civilization races in the galaxy, although the forms of each civilization and race are completely different, but the difference in wisdom is not too big, and it is naturally impossible to create civilization without wisdom.
The reason why humans are different from animals is because they have intelligence, and scientists believe that human ancestors inadvertently evolved wisdom genes, so human beings can continue to prosper.
Scholars and scholars in the field of the imperial humanities study the history of the development of various civilizations in the galaxy, and basically the scientists of each civilization have also conducted in-depth research on the origin of their own civilization and race, and almost all of them believe that they can create civilizations different from beasts, and almost all of them think that there are intelligent genes in their genes.
As for the Divine Gene, this is the result of an inference drawn by the Imperial Scientists' research on the Yuan Force and the Yuan Force cultivators, the advanced Yuan Force cultivators have the terrifying ability to destroy the heavens and the earth and cross the void of the universe, while the ordinary people who do not practice the Yuan Force are no different from ants in comparison, and what causes this huge gap is that the scientists of the Empire believe that it is the existence of the God Gene.
Through the cultivation of Yuan Li, under the nourishment and cultivation of Yuan Li, some low-level genes in the human body will evolve, and slowly evolve the god genes, so as to have all kinds of incredibly powerful abilities.
For example, in Yuanli cultivators have a very long lifespan, ordinary people only have a lifespan of less than 100 years, and after the scientists have studied it, it is actually the division of cells, and the number of cell divisions is limited, and when the cells divide to the limit, people will naturally age and die.
The nature that determines cell division is also a gene, this gene is called a longevity gene, the low-level longevity gene leads to less cell division, and the life span of the cell is short, so there will be summer insects that can not be said to be icy, most of the insects are not able to pass a year, and the relatively advanced life gene can make the cell divide more times, and the life of the cell is longer, so most of the advanced animals have a longer lifespan.
The lifespan gene is nourished by the Yuan Force so that the lifespan gene evolves and becomes a god gene, and the number of cell divisions can increase indefinitely, and the lifespan of the cell itself can also be continuously extended.
Originally, the cell may only have a lifespan of 10 days, and it can only divide a million times, but after evolving to the stage of the god gene, it has a lifespan of 100 or 1000 years, and can divide tens of millions of times, hundreds of millions of times, and this lifespan is naturally endless.
The four stages of genetic evolution, as well as the four stages of biological evolution, are of course only the current understanding of living things and genes by imperial scientists.
Of course, this process of evolution must be very, very slow, and the time required is calculated over hundreds of millions of years, and there will definitely be countless variations in this process, and eventually the survival of the fittest, the victors and the losers will be eliminated, and the excellent genes will be passed on from generation to generation.
This point has been fully reflected in the evolutionary history of human beings on the earth, scientists have studied the evolutionary history of human beings and found that at a certain stage, about 2.5 million years, there are multiple human races on the earth at the same time, such as Lady Ludo in East Africa, Homo erectus in East Asia, Neanderthals in West Asia, and so on.
There is an essential difference between these races and the yellows, blacks, and whites, and the above-mentioned species have been reproductively isolated from each other, and they cannot reproduce with each other.
But about 20,000 years ago, there was only one race left on the earth, that is, Homo sapiens, which is now commonly known as the ancestor of human beings, and the reason why Homo sapiens was able to stand out among many races was actually by relying on the wisdom genes evolved by Homo sapiens.
Under the fierce competition and the elimination of nature, the intelligent Homo sapiens finally slowly defeated other human races, and also better adapted to nature, and finally ruled the earth!
