Chapter 66: Orcs (1)
"This is normal, I think if the coalition command lets us in, then it will be called abnormal!" The leopard put his hands on the back of his head, stretched the tiger's waist, and said lazily.
"Leopard, do you have any way or way to get in?" The tiger eye of the tiger leans towards the leopard.
The leopard shook his head and said, "Father, the coalition command doesn't even give you face, and I'm even more out of luck!" β
"What about the Horses?" Qi Man looked at his youngest son Qi Jun, "You have a lot of ideas, is there any way?" β
"Do you have to go in?" Yijun asked rhetorically.
Qiman turned his head to look at Zhou Shibin, "Dr. Zhou, you have to answer this question, do you have to go in?" β
"We must go in," Zhou Shibin said undoubtedly, "We must find out the origin of the 'amber blood', otherwise the 'No. 1 Project' will be unsustainable!" β
The "No. 1 Project" mentioned by Dr. Zhou is the "Orc Research Project" of the Blue Wolf Country.
"What is the current status of Project 1? Dr. Zhou," Qi Man asked, "the research funds have been spent a lot, and it will not work if there are no results!" β
The corners of Dr. Zhou's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't speak, but directly picked up the electronic remote control board on the table, turned on an electronic display embedded in the wall, and switched to a certain channel, "See for yourself!" β
Everyone looked at the display screen, only to see a technician in a white coat holding a large bottle feeding a baby chick with sparse hair all over the body, similar to "ancient apes".
"This is sample 5317," Dr. Zhou said, "In this sample, we use the XY chromosome of the human slave and the XX chromosome of the silverback gorilla, which is very close to the human slave gene, as the carrier, and add a certain complex unknown gene extracted from the 'amber blood', which we temporarily call this complex unknown gene 'Ξ± gene', which is obtained through the combination of cloning technology and the male characteristic half-orc chicks." β
"Sample 5317 has survived for forty-five days to date, breaking the survival record of all previous orc test specimens; The other 19 experimental samples of the same batch that did not have the 'Ξ± gene' had already died due to genetic defects, and the longest did not live for 15 days. β
"What?!"
"Did it work?"
"This ......!!"
Several people in the audience were all dumbfounded and stunned, knowing that the "half-orcs" only existed in legends before, even if the top scientists of the "Imperial Academy of Sciences" of the beast empire could easily synthesize a high-level beast King Kong, they had never succeeded in synthesizing a half-orc, which shows the great technical difficulty of synthesizing a half-orc.
"It's too early to say that it has been successful, and it can only be said that sample 5317 has been stable so far, just like a healthy baby with normal sexual reproduction," Dr. Zhou said, "but its growth and development rate is much faster than that of a human slave baby, and the physical growth and development parameters of the 45-day human slave are basically the same as those of the three-year-old human slave." β
"What do you mean is the 'Ξ± gene' that is the key to the orc's success?" Extremely excited, he stood up and approached the screen to take a closer look at the little orc.
"Yes!" Dr. Chow replied.
"He's got a name?" Qiman continued to ask.
"Not yet, we all call him 5317," Dr. Zhou said, "or you will give him a name, Wolf King?" β
Qi Man nodded, and thought for a while, "In the future, I'll call him 'Taishan'!" β
"Tarzan, good name!"
"It has the same name as Taishan, the protagonist of a classic human slave movie "Tarzan of the Apes" hundreds of years ago."
Several people in the audience agreed.
"You said that the 'Ξ± gene' was extracted from the 'amber blood'?" Yijun asked Dr. Zhou.
"That's right," Dr. Zhou said, "After the last briefing, I organized a team of technical experts from the Institute of Biochemistry to study the golden liquid in the amber, and found that the golden liquid was actually the blood of some ancient creature, and after conducting deeper research, we found that the golden blood contained an extremely lively, extremely tenacious, and extremely aggressive 'gene pronucleus', and then we extracted this 'gene pronucleus', which is this 'Ξ± gene', and finally combined the sample of 'Taishan'." β
Dr. Zhou used three "poles" in a row to describe the "Ξ± gene".
"So you are determined to enter the Qinghe dungeon this time, and you want to find out the origin of the 'Amber Blood'?" Qi Jun asked.
"Yes!" Dr. Zhou nodded.
"Didn't we move out of the Qinghe Dungeon more than 100,000 cultural relics before? Didn't you find a similar amber? Qihu asked, "I personally led the team to move these relics back to Blue Wolf Castle." β
"To be exact, there are 186,576 cultural relics, and after the last briefing, I have instructed the relevant personnel to screen those cultural relics one by one, and no items containing similar golden blood have been found." Dr. Zhou looked at the tiger.
"How old is that amber stone?" Qi Jun asked.
"According to carbon 14 calculations, the amber stone should have been formed more than 118,900 years ago." Dr. Chow replied.
"What about the cultural relics unearthed in the Qinghe dungeon, and how long is the history?" Qiman asked, turning his head.
"I reported at the last briefing that the texture of most of the cultural relics is too hard to be cut for composition analysis and scanning, only a very small part can, and we have analyzed the production age of that very small part of the cultural relics, which are distributed between 20,000 and 200,000 years ago, so it is estimated that most of the cultural relics that cannot be analyzed should also be made at the same time." Dr. Zhou said.
"I also specifically consulted some historical research classics and works of human slaves, and did not find any historical records about Qinghe Dungeon, some of which also pointed out that there is a huge bug in the evolutionary history of the indigenous humans of the earth: at a certain time about 200,000 years ago, human beings seemed to suddenly disappear out of thin air, and then suddenly appeared out of thin air at a certain time 20,000 years ago, lasting for 180,000 years. There are almost no traces of human production and life, and there are almost no human skeleton fossils found in that period, compared with the evidence of animal and insect activity in the same period, or the skeleton fossils of animals and plants, which is also an unsolved case of the human slave scientist Darwin's "Theory of Evolution". β
"However, the discovery of the Qinghe Dungeon seems to fill this historical gap in the history of the indigenous human beings of the earth," Dr. Zhou said, "I deduce that the time of 180,000 years is a very special period for the earth. β
"What kind of special law?" Qiman asked.
"For example, some kind of intelligent creature with golden blood has ruled or enslaved this planet, killing, plundering or imprisoning all human beings," Dr. Zhou said, "and Qinghe Dungeon is the city where this kind of intelligent creature with golden blood builds and lives. β
"Is this your speculation, or do you have evidence?" Qi Jun asked.
"This is just my speculation," Dr. Zhou replied, "After all, the Qinghe Dungeon no longer belongs to the Blue Wolf Nation, and we have no way to continue to study it in depth." β
Qi Man moved back to the seat, he was silent for a long time, stroked his forehead, and his expression looked a little ugly, "These assumptions and inferences of Dr. Zhou, after thinking about it, seem to have some truth!" β
"If some kind of intelligent creature with golden blood ruled the earth hundreds of thousands of years ago, where did they go afterward?" Qihu asked.
"Left, or died," Dr. Zhou said, "and they disappeared, mysteriously from the face of the earth." β
"Those intelligent beings with golden blood had a fairly advanced level of technology at that time, so how far have they developed now?" Yijun frowned.
"The speed of development of modern science and technology, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand miles a day, if those intelligent creatures really exist, then their current scientific and technological level is not something we can imagine, far from it, just take the scientific and technological level of the early stage of the 'Catastrophe War' more than a hundred years ago and the current scientific and technological level has lagged behind a lot, and the gap between scientific and technological civilization of 200,000 years has ...... It's terrible, and I feel like I should surpass us by much, much. The leopard sighed.
"Not to mention that the dungeon and its Chinese substances, just a trace of golden blood that may have originated from the bodies of those unknown intelligent creatures, solved the problem of half-orc cloning that has plagued us for many years, and this alone, from the perspective of "evolution" and biological science, has been at least a million years ahead of our beasts," Dr. Zhou said, "Even we beasts can never evolve to that extent." β
Everyone pondered for a long time, and each had its own merits in their hearts.
"Tsk, I actually regret selling this Qinghe dungeon to the coalition headquarters, it was a cheap sale," Qi Man regretted, "Now it seems that we have lost a lot of money on that deal, you say, is there a remedy?" β
"Difficult!" The leopard sighed and shook his head.
"Or, forcible breaking?" Tiger Road.
"Brainless approach!" "The next day, the coalition headquarters immediately sent troops to destroy us, as simple as crushing a cockroach to death!" β
The tiger is sloppy.
"Buy it back?" Qi Jun asked.
"There is no way to do three hundred taels of silver here," Qi Man said, "If we do this, it is equivalent to telling the coalition headquarters that there are still good things in the dungeon!" β
The Horse scratched his head and said no more.
"Lao Chang, you haven't spoken at the meeting until now, tell me, what good way do you think of?" Qi Man turned his head sideways and looked at Uncle Chang from afar.
Uncle Chang had been listening to the conversation of the crowd on his own, and when he heard the roll call of Qiman, he sat upright, cleared his throat coughingly, and said slowly; "I don't think our problems are based on previous assumptions."
"What's wrong?"
"I have a few questions I'd like to ask the Wolf King and Dr. Zhou." Uncle Chang looked at Yiman and Dr. Zhou.
"Well, you ask." Qiman Road.
"Please." Dr. Zhou said.
"The first question I want to ask the Wolf King, what is our original intention in studying orcs?" Uncle Chang asked.
"How do I answer your question," Qi Man stretched out his hands and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and said, "We all know that because there is a huge genetic gap between different species, or reproductive isolation, it is very, very difficult to let different genomes synthesize new species, and because of this, there are always problems with the congenital growth and development of orcs, or brain retardation that causes them to be mentally retarded, or congenital limb disability or organ mutilation, in addition to intelligence, Half-orcs with sound limbs can inherit all the advantages and strengths of humans and beasts in terms of physical senses, such as vision, hearing, smell, strength, nerve reaction speed, etc., all of which inherit and carry forward the innate advantages of beasts in the body to the greatest extent. β
"Contrary to the stunted brain development, the speed of physical growth and development of half-orcs is even more amazing to us, their body growth and development in three hundred days to reach the state of physical growth and development of twenty-year-old beasts, for example, canines, an old dog that has lived for twelve years is the same as a human slave who has lived for a hundred years," Qi Man continued, "Of course, what I said is that these are biochemical theoretical deductions and predictions of half-orcs, which are also clichΓ©s, but at present, from Dr. Zhou's experimental data, these deductions, predictions, The deduction is not a conjecture of our scientists, but it is very logical and scientifically based! β
