Jiang Jianxue nodded, indicating that he was listening, but his eyes were a little strange. But at this time, Zhao Hongbin's physical strength was a little exhausted, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't notice his changes. Zhao Hongbin continued: "Liu Lao combined his research with my thesis to come up with a brain-opening idea. He felt that the 'judges' of the year existed, and the 'prisoners' also existed, but the time when the prisoners came to the earth was not about 50 million years ago when primates broke out, but about 10,000 years ago at the point of the birth of human civilization. The arrival of judges and prisoners gave impetus to the emergence of human civilization. ”

"He believes that the Earth is a native life planet, but it is an 'animal' planet and does not have the genes to evolve higher intelligent life. Even if primates appeared, they would be nothing more than 'intelligent monkeys', missing an opportunity for higher intelligent life, and the Inquisitor's exile of prisoners to Earth facilitated this opportunity. ”

From the perspective of his research, he proposed two theories to illustrate. The first theory is the 'Eve Theory'. Proponents of this theory have identified the lineage of the development of mitochondrial DNA in modern humans by tracing the prototypes of mitochondrial DNA of different races. They found that the mitochondrial DNA of modern humans can be divided into two main groups, the first is found only in some Africans, and the second is found in all races, including other Africans. And the ultimate source of the second type of mitochondrial DNA is also in Africans. In other words, the mitochondrial DNA of modern humans comes from a woman in Africa, who is the common ancestor of all human races, and who is called Eve, to quote a biblical story. Although there are almost as many opponents and supporters of this theory, other theories have been falsified over the centuries, and the persistence of this theory to this day is enough to prove that it is still possible. ”

"The second theory is 'genetic evolution'. This theory has been proven, and the theory of genetic evolution is divided into two aspects, the first is that the more intelligent the organism, the faster the genetic evolution. And the faster the evolution of genes, the higher the intelligence of living beings. This cycle opens up the intelligence level, which is why humans eventually defeated other creatures and evolved into higher intelligent life. Another aspect is that one of the obvious characteristics of the evolutionary performance of genes is that the evolution of genes is accompanied by a decrease in the number of base pairs, if gene evolution is likened to the update of software, and base pairs are likened to code, then the evolution of genes is the process of optimizing software code. This optimization results in a reduction in the amount of code and an increase in efficiency. As a reversal, ancient human genes were filled with more useless base pairs, and their presence made genes bloated and less efficient. ”

"Based on these two theories, combined with his research, Liu Lao told me such a story: 10,000 years ago, there were two higher beings, the judge and the prisoner, and we cannot imagine their form now, the dimension of their existence, they may be different many individuals like human beings, or they may be a single individual themselves, they broke out into war, the judge was victorious, and the prisoner was defeated. The Inquisitor is victorious, but it cannot completely eliminate the prisoner, or it does not want to destroy the prisoner for some reason, but only wants to imprison it. In short, the Inquisitor found the Earth as a prison for the prisoners. ”

"The Inquisitors, in order to reduce the threat of the prisoner, forced it to unite with the native evolutionary animals of the earth (Eve). Primates thus have the opportunity to evolve into higher intelligent life. The genes of the descendants of the prisoners, who are higher intelligent beings, are mixed with 'lower genes', resulting in the prisoner's offspring becoming lower intelligent beings, and the judge's judgment purpose is achieved, and it completes a process of 'fooling' the prisoner. ”

At this point, the Inquisitor decided to leave, but the Inquisitor knew that the evolutionary direction of living things was a process of continuous genetic optimization. Someday, the offspring of the prisoner will evolve into higher beings. As a precaution, the Inquisitors left a 'surveillance eye' on the moon. Some of the prisoner's descendants took these things into their eyes and left stone carvings to remind future generations. ”

After listening to the story told by the teacher, Jiang Jianxue felt complicated in his heart, although from a scientific point of view, he didn't want to believe in this kind of 'mythical story', but he was not a geneticist, and he couldn't find a loophole for a while, but he couldn't digest it, and couldn't help but say: "Teacher, do you think this is related to the explosion of the moon?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongbin nodded and said, "At that time, we discussed this matter in the backstage of the Nobel Prize ceremony, and when we heard us discuss this matter, other scientists also participated in the discussion. At that time, the consensus was that if the story of the Inquisitor and the Prisoner was really as described by Liu Lao, and the Inquisitor had set up a surveillance eye on the Moon, then the Inquisitor would not allow its 'prisoners' to threaten them again. Before the threat comes, the Inquisitor will surely act. At that time, Liu Lao proposed a name called the 'taboo red line', which means that if the threat of the prisoner's descendants exceeds this red line, the judge will apply the 'trial' again to eliminate the threat. ”

Jiang Jianxue frowned and said, "Then what is the standard of this taboo red line?" ”

"At that time, there was no agreement on the criteria for the taboo red line, and some believed that since the earth was a prison, then 'prison escape' was a red line. The other part of the more optimistic group thinks that the taboo red line is to make the Inquisitor feel threatened, which is difficult to say, because you can't guess how civilized the Inquisitor is, and you don't know to what extent they will feel threatened. ”

"By the time the Martian base had been established and humanity had come out of its cage, proponents of the second view had found a fulcrum, arguing that even if the taboo red line did exist, there was no need to worry too much. 10,000 years ago, the Inquisitor was able to bring prisoners to Earth through interstellar travel, which shows that the Inquisitor's level of civilization is much higher than that of today's humans, and that human beings are still a long way from touching the taboo red line, so there is no need to worry about it. ”

Although the discussion ended with the victory of these people, when the ceremony was over, when I returned to the hotel, Mr. Liu told me that he was pessimistic. He believes that if the taboo red line really exists, then the inquisitor will never give the prisoner's descendants a chance to threaten it again, and the 'prison escape' is the taboo red line, and humanity is already facing extinction. ”

"He was the first to think of a threat from the moon." Zhao Hongbin sighed abruptly, his tone was full of emotion and admiration, and said: "Elder Liu said that within the scope of human exploration, there is no second star that contains so much helium-3 like the moon. Helium-3 is used as a fuel, which can provide efficient and clean energy to humans. But what if it's explosives? What is the Moon? It will be a huge bomb, a bomb that explodes enough to destroy the planet! ”

When Jiang Jianxue heard this, he finally faced up to this 'mythical story', and suddenly he felt a little cold down his spine, and he reached out to touch it before he realized a cold sweat.
