Chapter 21: Discovery
"At the age of 20, a biologist discovered a miraculous biological phenomenon, broke the existing theory, and was featured in "New Cell". Welcome to the New Fuzhou Sports Center to participate in Chen Dai's lecture. The electronic billboards in Riau Neicheng take turns playing this advertisement.
"I didn't expect that the transposon could be rediscovered by future generations." Yan Ling saw the advertisement and said to herself. In her previous life, she had heard Li Xu tell the story of Ms. Barbara McClintock and Transposon, but she didn't expect to hear the word "Transposon" again.
"If it was in a previous life, the little sister would definitely listen to the speech of the transpose." Yan Ling remembered Li Xu's dedication to her dreams and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You who cry your nose at every turn, where are you now, I don't know if you can eat well and dress well." Are you alone in this new world? I miss you so much! ”
The corners of Yan Ling's eyes were slightly moist, and she looked at the electronic billboard in the distance in a daze. Suddenly, an idea jumped into her mind, if the little sister also crossed over and had the same memories of her past life as herself, then she would definitely listen to this lecture. Yan Ling's heart beat faster and faster, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was right.
"If you look at the number of people who attend the lectures, it's 23,000 at the moment, and it's still rising." Yan Ling opened the three-dimensional network, logged on to the official website of Oasis Company, and saw the dynamic people statistics chart on the homepage.
Although you have to find the little sister among the tens of thousands of people who are listening to the lecture, this is much more likely than slowly looking for it all over the world. It's like stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them.
Yan Ling immediately ordered tickets for this lecture and asked the company for leave to go to New Fuzhou City on April 1.
"What's the urgent need to take a leave of absence? Aren't you going to prepare for a new R&D project? "Chiyo received a report from Yan Ling, and there were some problems. Directly through video conversations within the company.
"There's a lecture in New Fuzhou, and I want to listen to it and see if I can inspire new projects." Yan Ling couldn't tell her true purpose.
Is there any connection between biological discovery and new types of armor? Chiyo said secretly in his heart. However, considering the success of the civilian armor that had just been released, Chiyo should give his subordinates a vacation.
"Go ahead. By the way, the first month's profit dividend has already been credited to your account. I hope you will keep up your efforts, and the position of technical director will be yours in the future. "Motivating subordinates with benefits has always been Chiyo's only way.
Now Yan Ling is the head of the auxiliary armor project team of the Norin Arms Company, and the civilian auxiliary armor developed by her has been a big seller, and as long as it is needed, a company will buy one or two auxiliary armors to make up for the shortcomings of employees' weak physical strength. Named the Type 01, this auxiliary armor was cheap and lightweight, with 1 million units sold in a month.
"The money has arrived!" Yan Ling was pleasantly surprised to open her account to check the balance, and the system showed that the balance was 1.02 million yuan, "Great, Lao Tzu finally has money." ”
Yan Ling made a profit of 1 million yuan from the patent rights alone, which made her instantly become a middle-level person from an orphan who was supported by the relief society, of which 500,000 yuan was donated by her to the relief society that raised her. When Yan Ling came to this world, her mother who gave birth to her died of hemorrhage, and she became an orphan. It is a non-profit relief that will raise her and provide her with the opportunity to study until she turns 15. Her heart was full of gratitude to the aunts of the relief society, and she was also full of gratitude to the mother who gave birth to herself.
"If she hadn't chosen to take the risk of giving birth to me, she wouldn't have had an accident." Later generations of medicine have complete records, and Yan Ling can see what happened when she was born. When the mother who gave birth to Yan Ling learned that she had a difficult birth, she decided to take the risk of giving birth to the child, but unfortunately an accident occurred.
Even in this world, there is a very small chance of accidents when giving birth. Thinking of the mother of the future generations she had never met, Yan Ling could better understand Li Su's persistence, and sincerely wanted to support Li Su to eliminate the problem of female fertility.
On March 31, Yan Ling finished her day's work and took a maglev to Xinfuzhou. Outside the train window is an endless stretch of tundra, sparsely distributed with fern shrubs. Beneath the tundra is a connecting passage, where countless amphibian octopuses are constantly busy. Instead of crawling awkwardly on the ground, there are some heterogeneous octopuses that move quickly like spiders with their strong tentacles.
When Li Mu, Chiyo, and Lin Li returned from a month's vacation, they did not release the captured octopus, but kept it in a special laboratory.
"It's really a golden house." Li Mu teased.
"But no, it's so soft that it can indeed be called 'delicate'." Chiyo looked at the octopus inside the glass wall and smiled bitterly.
"This is a special laboratory for the future company, so don't worry about it running." Lin Li's pink double ponytail swayed gently.
The octopus inside the glass wall seemed to hear the conversation between the three of them, and frantically hit the glass wall with its beak, trying to escape.
"This octopus is different from the recorded amphibious octopus, with very little mucus on the body, its skin has some resistance to lethal ultraviolet rays, and its eight tentacles are also stronger than amphibious octopuses, and it can even walk like a spider. It's evolving so fast, probably because of the effects of ultraviolet rays and nuclear radiation residues. Li Mu said the results he had observed recently.
"Through instrument scanning, it was found that the octopus had an unformed auditory area, and its auditory sound wave range was already wider than that of humans. Moreover, its cerebral cortex folds are close to the human level, and its IQ is probably very close to that of humans. Lin Li took the tablet and reported the results obtained by her subordinates.
"It's really a terrifying speed of evolution, is it a late-mover advantage?" Chiyo couldn't help but shudder.
"Where's that egg, and what did it look like?" Li Mu asked.
"The eggs are indeed octopus larvae, and there is more than one egg, this octopus has at least 100 identical eggs in its body." Lin Li's face was solemn, this octopus's reproductive ability was beyond her imagination, and humans couldn't compete at all.
"100 pieces, can its body hold it?" Chiyo exclaimed, this egg is not as small as other octopus eggs, but the size of an egg, and the nutrients required are probably more than the mother's burden.
"It couldn't support it, so the scan found that the organs in its body were shrinking, providing all the nutrients to the eggs. In other words, it will die soon after laying eggs, just like octopuses and salmon in the sea. Lin Li swiped the tablet and replied.
"The octopuses and amphibious octopuses in the ocean all mate and die after laying eggs. This mutant octopus seems to follow this pattern, but it doesn't look like it's near-death, but it's becoming more and more aggressive. Li Mu looked at the octopus Dao who was frantically attacking the wall indoors.
The octopus had grown much smaller, but its eyes were bloodshot blue, and its body was completely black with the aura of death. Waving tentacles, he constantly attacks everything with his beak.
"In any case, the news cannot be disseminated now, lest the green organizations block the research. The potential of this creature is much greater than that of humans, and we can only hope that the speed of human evolution can catch up. Li Mu said cautiously.
