Chapter 506: Positive Choice, Negative Choice, Draw [Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription]
I select ......"
Negative Choice ......
"Draw."
Positive Selection, Negative Selection, Draw, Negative Selection, Draw, Positive Selection, Positive Selection, Draw, Draw, Negative Selection, Draw, Negative Selection......
Globally, there are 380,000-390,000 births per day, with an average of about 0.24 seconds a baby entering the world.
In a second, in the blink of an eye, four or five babies were born.
If you gather the cry of a newborn baby for a day, it will be a sharp and piercing sound wave; If they all make a positive or negative choice or a draw, it will be a huge wave. And such a huge wave was churning in Gu Jun's mind.
Negative Selection, Draw, Positive Selection......
Countless childish voices, churning and twisting together, scraped at his cortex, his neurons, his blood vessels.
Gu Jun, Cai Zixuan, Wang Ruoxiang and others came to the First People's Hospital of Dahua City, and they vaguely heard the huge waves, and then walked into the isolated baby nursery, and the blood vessels all over his body were swelling. But he wasn't entirely sure if he had actually heard it, or if it was just a hallucination.
The baby's cry suddenly rang out, and it was in this nursery that it sounded.
The nursery is quite spacious, with rows of incubators and related equipment against the wall, but most of the incubators are empty in the transparent glass, and only five of them contain babies, two boys and three girls.
One positive selection, two negative selections, two draws.
There was another sharp stabbing pain in his head, and Gu Jun took a deep breath, letting the oxygen provided by the oxygen cylinder in the protective suit fill his lungs and abdomen.
He exhaled a long longer, but it didn't relax his heart.
"Trench Jun?" Cai Zixuan, who was walking next to him, asked.
Wang Ruoxiang also looked over, she had a keen sense of smell in genes when she was sick with locusts last time, and this time she also came with a heavy responsibility.
"Okay." Gu Jun responded, "I feel uncomfortable." ”
Wearing a Level 4 hazmat suit was just a routine procedure, and he had actually expected this day for a long time, and Usa's cat and the Great Elder of Atal had also announced it.
Calling on Sabu Nikolath to fight Chaos is not without consequences.
The consequences were not just the painful loss of millions of abortions for pregnant women at the time......
Some of the words that the old civet cat had said rang in Gu Jun's ears again:
"That should be different from the disasters you've faced in recent years...... Diseases and plagues are meant to destroy life, but Shab-Nicholas does not destroy life, it reproduces life and evolves life, but the pressure it brings will also be a disaster. ”
After returning from the dream realm before, Gu Jun handed over the original words word for word when making a report.
So as soon as today's incident happened and it was reported to the Spell Department, it immediately caused a shock.
It's coming, it's coming.
"I don't think it's a scattered word, it's the word itself." When Gu Jun first heard the baby's words, he had this judgment.
Soon, urgent notifications from other countries confirmed this.
Whether it is Citigroup, Rus, England, or all the five continents of the world, this anomaly has suddenly appeared, and the difference is that the local language is spoken.
But not all newborns, preliminary statistics are not average probabilities, and there is no outstanding population commonality.
Some of these abnormal newborns are both parents, single mothers, and IVF surrogacy.
The mothers ranged in age from teenage pregnancies to advanced mothers in their forties, almost all of whom were in their reproductive years.
All social classes and occupations are not enough.
From the data, it looks like it's completely random. Even if there are five pregnant women in the same maternity ward, or three pregnant women who are in labor, it is possible that the last baby will not be abnormal, and there may be one, or two or three.
Not only Dahua City, but also Dongzhou City, Mobei City and other places, there are also such abnormal babies.
The same appeared on the other side of the mysterious world.
This is not an accident.
"Wow, wow, wow......" The baby girl's cry was particularly loud, she was Xu Qiuyue, the first abnormal baby born in this hospital, negative selection.
Gu Jun stood in front of the incubator, looking at the swaddling baby in the box, no bigger than an ancestor.
Her face was flushed with tears, and her wrinkled eyes hadn't yet opened.
"I'll call the nurse." Cai Zixuan turned around and walked away.
Gu Jun took another deep breath, remembering that the baby's father was so excited that he almost knelt on the ground and begged them to save his daughter, while the baby's mother was still recuperating on the postpartum hospital bed, not knowing that the situation had escalated and risen to the highest level.
I choose it, Positive selection
This is a concept of natural selection, simply put, the mutated gene of an individual in the population makes the individual have a stronger ability to survive in the environment, a higher chance of reproduction, and therefore benefit from more offspring, and the mutant gene spreads in the population.
This is called positive selection.
Negative selection
In contrast to positive selection, an individual's mutated genes are not suitable for the environment, and if they are detrimental to their viability and reduce their chances of reproduction, they will be eliminated naturally.
In the long history of human evolution, there must have been more and more different genes, resulting in all kinds of diseases, defects, and weirdness, but they have not been passed down in the human gene pool, because of premature death, early death, and no offspring.
This is called negative selection.
However, whether a mutated gene is positively or negatively selected is not absolute, but depends on the environment.
EDAR370A is a gene unique to most East Asians, and one of its effects causes the density of sweat glands in the human body to be 15% higher than that of other races, and it is particularly prone to sweating; Another point is that it results in thicker, straighter hair without that natural curl.
Because this mutation had the advantage of adapting to the environment in ancient times, it was a positive selection.
But if you put EDAR370A in a desert environment that is hot all year round, it is a negative choice.
Because sweating easily means that the body will lose water faster and more, in places where water is scarce, not sweating easily is the right choice.
In the Xiaoice period, the diabetes pathogenic gene is positive selection, because the rise in blood sugar will increase the body temperature, so as to better resist cold and hunger, and have a greater chance of survival, you must know that the life expectancy of the Xiaoice period can be much shorter than the average life expectancy of those who die because of diabetes.
In the modern era, this gene is negative selection. If the world freezes suddenly, this gene will become a positive selection again.
Therefore, there is no positive or negative difference between the mutant gene itself, it is the environment that determines the positive and negative, the survival of the fittest, and the elimination of the unsuitable.
The environment is always changing, so the genes of a group should be diverse.
Even some seemingly useless and harmful genes are still with humans. They may have been the best survival strategy, or maybe one day, they suddenly became the best strategy.
Not always choosing to pass on the positive choice, not particularly advantageous and not particularly losing, is a balanced choice.
Positive selection, negative selection, draw
What is the decision now? There are all kinds of environments around the world, is it this era, the era when the dark forces are active to a new peak......
Gu Jun noticed that among the five abnormal babies in the nursery, the two flat babies were sleeping peacefully.
The baby, who was choosing a baby, had opened a pair of big black eyes, and turned to look at the world with curiosity.
And the two negative choice babies are crying non-stop and seem very uncomfortable.
At this time, Wang Ruoxiang reminded: "Xu Qiuyue seems to be opening her eyes......"
Gu Jun also saw that the eyes of this negative selection baby named Xu Qiuyue were open. The time to open the eyes of a newborn varies from birth to week.
I don't know why, he looked at the two wrinkled eyes, and panicked in his heart.
Suddenly, the little baby girl opened her eyes in tears.
The inside of those newborn eyes was full of whites and no pupils.
That is, there is no lens, it is all vitreous, all vitreous......
Negative selection.
