"In the field of biological research around the world, genes are an unavoidable subject."
"It's mysterious, it's deep...... There is an amazing creation in the small sequence. ”
"Human, the primate of all things, the miracle of life on earth."
"The mysteries in their genes are even more difficult to peep into, and even now, even though we humans have reached the stage of controlling everything in some other fields, we are still facing human genetics...... But it is still like a crawling insect crawling between the cracks in the soil under the towering ancient trees, and it is difficult to peek into its full picture. ”
An old man who looked to be at least sixty years old stood alone on a podium, speaking his point of view in a mellow voice.
Behind him was a glowing curtain on which he had prepared slides.
Other than that, the rest of the place was pitch black, and the windows that could let in the light were tightly covered by thick curtains and drapes, as if it were man-made.
If someone is standing beside him at this time, you can clearly see that the old man on the podium is in a multimedia lecture hall, many universities in China have similar places, and at this time, the dark seats are almost full, and all the visitors present are staring intently at the slides playing on the podium curtain, as well as the old man who is speaking.
This place is a multimedia classroom of Tiandu University, a world-famous first-class university in Tiandu, the capital of China.
And this lecture brought together almost all the students majoring in biology in Tiandu University, these proud sons of heaven with superior intelligence, but at this time they were quietly in their seats in the lecture hall, without saying a word, for fear of missing every word and word of the old man...... It is hard to imagine what status this old man has in the field of biology.
The old man's temples were already gray at this time, but his spirit was still very vigorous, his waist was straight, and he did not have the feeling of twilight that a sixty-year-old man should have, and he seemed to speak a little dry, so he paused, swallowed his saliva, and continued:
"Genomics is so amazing and our level of research is so shallow...... Just like a wild man with only a piece of animal skin on his body and a freshly sharpened stone in his hand, facing the ruins of a prehistoric civilization that can be opened across the sea of stars, there is no treasure mountain but no door can enter. I have to say it's a kind of sadness. ”
"The human gene is like a bottomless treasure, we need tools to dig up, but this tool is often the flash of inspiration of a biologist after dinner, and there is a great deal of chance...... In fact, not only in the field of biology, but also in any scientific and technological achievement in the world, may come from an accident. ”
"Accidental thoughts...... Accidental experiments...... Serendipitous success ......"
The wrinkles on the old man's face were squeezed together, and he grinned: "It's like human genes, accidental mutations. ”
"Since last year, all sorts of superpowers have suddenly appeared all over the world...... These superpowers possess a wide variety of bizarre superpowers: controlling gaseous particles, metalizing their bodies, showing animal signs on their bodies, creating illusions, and moving in space...... And so on and so forth, the appearance of each supernatural seems to be breaking our conventional, barren imagination. ”
"Even if they don't use their superpowers, they have enviable superpowers...... It easily breaks the limits of the human body. ”
"And the source of all this is a new condition called 'Howell syndrome.'"
"But we don't just give the disease a bad name, and we know that if we don't mutate into superpowers, it can be deadly...... Nothing is known about the rest. ”
"We've tried to control this mutation, to master this power, but with little success...... Countries around the world have developed therapeutics for patients with 'Howell syndrome' that can smoothly transition to superpowers, but the real industry knows very well that these treatments are just a joke...... At least in terms of clinical trial data, the odds of successful mutation in patients who have used these therapeutics have not increased by a few percentage points relative to those who have naturally varied superpowers. ”
"The emergence of superpowers has given us infinite possibilities for the direction of mutation of human genes...... But the human beings who have truly mutated into superpowers are too few and too few compared to the base of the overall human race......"
"It's a shame, guys."
The old man glanced around and said slowly, "It's a pity. ”
"I've been thinking about one thing since the Mighty came along......"
"Since ordinary humans with Howell syndrome can mutate and become superpowers with special abilities, does it also mean that we can use this disease as a research direction so that ordinary people who are not affected also have the opportunity to mutate into superpowers?"
"Imagine that, perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, we will usher in an era of 'evolution for all' where superpowers are everywhere."
"Every human being on the planet has the opportunity to make a leap in life......"
"We are no longer weak, every human being has the power to break the mountain, and the productivity of all walks of life will increase in a straight line...... We are no longer easily injured, and today's terminal illness or fatal injuries will no longer be the killers of human lives. ”
"We are strong, and our horizons are broadened...... Because of the rapid increase in productivity, we can even enter the Age of Exploration 50 or 100 years ahead of schedule...... The vast stars will become our new playground. ”
"All of you here are the leaders and absolute elites who have fought out of thousands of troops in the Chinese domestic college entrance examination. Tiandu University has almost one of the most advanced biology education resources in the country......"
"I believe that you will not be limited to the world...... And I can also predict that with the emergence of superpowers, the research direction of human genetics will also see an explosive growth of various achievements...... I, Situ Xiang, am one of the most authoritative researchers in human genetics, and my institute also has the most cutting-edge genetic research materials in the world. ”
"If you are interested, you can contact our institute by email, and I sincerely invite all the future mainstays of the field of biology to join my institute."
The old man named Situ Xiang came to the end of his words, slowly opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace something, he looked calmly at the figure on the dark seat on the ground, and chuckled:
"Let's usher in a new era of human evolution together!"
