When Duan Qing finally talked about the more critical "biotechnology", the situation outside also had new changes.

Near the Art, those giant termites have brought the first team of humans to the vicinity of the underground cracks, which are bottomless, and even faintly reveal the red magma of the earth's mantle below, expanding like blood veins, burning effect, and looking quite terrifying.

Around the crack, there are countless ant chrysalis. These ant pupae, each several meters long and wide, look a bit like a common tent in shape, but of course they are very sturdy. Or like the molting cicada shell. However, where the pupa is in contact with the ground, there are thin legs that can be used to move. It looks a bit like a centipede foot.

Those giant termites escorted the humans forward one by one, and the speed was very fast, and the destination was these ant pupa. And the role of these ant pupae ...... I'm afraid it's a quick means of transportation for them to travel between the surface and the underground.

This...... Maybe it's also a branch of biotechnology?

All in all, the first humans are already on the verge of being transported underground.

And the communication equipment should be clear, and the arrival of the first humans is extremely anticipated.

In the distance, giant termites were escorting humans, and in the near distance, other search teams of theirs had spotted the Ecology and were nearby.

I'm about to enter the Eco Number!

Since Xu Liang and the three of them are inside the Ecology, and the size of the ecosystem is about 0.5 square kilometers, which is not very large, it can be said that the crisis level of the situation has escalated again!

The Ecology is a bit more damaged than the Artwork. However, because the previous tsunami was too violent, there were also many leaks. The giant termites quickly found a leak, and a team of a dozen giant termites rushed in.

They are very agile.

This scene was seen by Xu Liang, who was observed by Yin Qi.

Xu Liang's expression did not change, but the movements under his hands became more diligent.

He was assembling various utilities with greater care.

Such a large ant looks like a bull X...... I wonder if you'll be pleasantly surprised by all these things you've prepared......

Duan Qing looked at Xu Liang, who was seriously tinkering with the equipment. There are some equipment she knows, some she can't name but knows how to use them, and some of them are really completely unfamiliar, but Lao Xu attaches great importance to them.

Although she often talks about science, she actually admires Xu Liang's practical technology, and she asked, "You use these things to fight those giant termites...... How sure are you? ”

Lao Xu didn't raise his head: "Ten percent." ”

Duanqing: ......

Good confidence.

Lao Xu: "Grandpa Spear taught us that we should attach importance to our opponents tactically and despise our opponents strategically. It's just a swarm of ants. Well, a little heavier ant, just over a ton, it's not a big deal. ”

Duanqing: ...... More than a ton, it's not a big deal......

Xu Liang: "You can continue to talk about the biotechnology you just talked about halfway, that, these giant ants, will it be the biotechnology that you said that has developed to the peak?" ”

It seems that Xu Liang is actually quite interested in this kind of biotechnology, even if it has the word "technology", Xu Liang did not directly disobey it. This is a great opportunity to get to know your opponents!

Moreover, these technologies have made termites hundreds of times larger.

Or even ...... Technology that can develop biointelligence!

If there is some explanatory information, then the process of fighting termites will be more certain.

Duan Qing said: "Actually, I really have the information on biotechnology, in fact...... Well, actually, a lot of these parts are the stories I wanted to tell you, which is the first half of the Civilization Arena, and the part about 'biotechnology' is the most important part of the first half! ”

Immediately afterwards, Duan Qing said solemnly: "Do you know that the twenty-first century is actually the century of biotechnology. ”

Xu Liang pouted: "It's a cold joke." ”

Duan Qing smiled.

"It's really a joke, because the 21st century is also the century of the Internet, the century of artificial intelligence, the century of pirated games, and so on...... But that's not wrong! If you talk about biotechnology alone......"

She said that she became serious here: "Actually, biotechnology has never stopped! ”

"I mean, biotechnology hasn't stopped since 10,000 years before history."

"At the deepest level, what exactly is 'technology' and what does the term mean?"

"It sounds like a big question, but it's not that complicated. In a sense, technology can be understood as a way for us to use the natural world to improve ourselves. ”

Technology...... Ways to use nature to improve yourself...... Xu Liang recited silently in his heart.

"Technology is how we use nature and transform it. Biotechnology, on the other hand, is about changing ourselves. ”

"Yes, it's about changing yourself. So in this sense, every species that can survive until now is an expert in biotechnology, because according to the theory of evolution, all of our species are constantly changing to better adapt to the environment. ”

"For example, genetically modified food, of course, a little bit of scientific common sense knows that genetically modified crops are useful, Cui Yongyuan is stupid X, don't talk about this is a little far, let's continue to talk about genetically modified plants, that is, we use biotechnology to actively change the method of plants."

But in fact, passive can also be regarded as a change: for example, lions with desert hair are more likely to catch prey during hunting, and lion's hair will gradually develop to brown and yellow. You can think of it as natural selection, but it's also a 'passive' biotech. The lion made it possible to change the color of its fur. ”

"Solitary bison are more likely to be killed, and herds are more likely to survive, so the vast majority of African bison herds you see today live together and in groups. Living in groups is natural selection, but it is also a passive way of change. ”

"Examples of such biotechnology can be found in every living thing that exists!"

"Every living creature has changed because it has to adapt to nature!"

Xu Liang thought for a while and said, "It seems to make some sense, but biotechnology and natural selection, these two can't be mixed together, right?" ”

Duan Qing: "Let me put it this way, biotechnology can make a KFC broiler X chicken with six chicken wings, right?" ”

"It seems that there is news saying that."

"It's definitely biotech, right?"

"If the news isn't fake, it's definitely biotechnology."

"Well, then: if KFC develops this six-winged technology, and chickens with six wings are more competitive in natural selection, survive better than two-winged chickens, and are more likely to be favored by hens, then over time, will all chickens and other creatures in the future have six wings?"

Xu Liang thought for a moment......

Although the example is exaggerated, it is ...... Seems to make some sense?
