The child born of a chicken with two wings is still a child with two wings, and a child born from a chicken with six wings is naturally six wings, and there is nothing wrong with it......

Duan Qing: "There is actually no difference between these two, one is active and the other is passive. ”

"And biotechnology is precisely the manifestation of initiative!"

"If human beings also master more advanced biotechnology, then they can transform human beings themselves!"

"This transformation can start from preventing diseases, which is the branch of biotechnology - medicine."

"When we were sick, we used to have to rely on our own immunity to survive. So, smallpox, the Black Death, and the super flu often claimed the lives of tens of millions of people, but since the production of penicillin, the creation of practical things like sterile surgery and anesthetics, long-lived humans have become common. ”

"Longevity is the way human beings change themselves."

"This change is much faster than millions of years of natural selection. Because medical knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation. ”

"Perhaps, we can also go one step further along the medical path?"

"For example, in diànyǐng, each of us can choose our own initial genes, and we are very good from birth! Everyone is the best! Compared with the simple elimination of diseases, this is a much more advanced biotechnology, which can also be called the second stage of biotechnology. ”

Xu Liang has seen that diànyǐng, in addition to the plot, the girl in this diànyǐng is also very good, and the plot is also good...... Now that I think about it, this can indeed be regarded as an evolutionary version of biotechnology. ”

"Of course, there's more advanced biotechnology—"

"Direct transformation!"

"Just like those termites out there, becoming such a huge size is something we fantasized about before, but now it has become a reality!"

"Medicine – genetic modification – direct modification. We've just talked about these three steps, and each step is a huge improvement over the previous one. ”

"Human science and technology are still at the level of the first stage of 'medicine', but those ants outside are ...... They've reached the third level......"

When he said this, Duanqing paused, which also gave Xu Liang plenty of time to think. Because these contents are difficult to understand for Lao Xu, who pays attention to practice.

Duan Qing mainly talked about the three levels of biotechnology, and human beings are in the first level of "medical care". But these ants that appear in front of them have been able to directly transform themselves, which is a kind of transformation that seems very incredible to humans now. Maybe we will think of it as something like "transformation", "magic", and "hanging", but in the eyes of an academic school like Duanqing, this is just a way to use technology. Whether it's through special growth hormones, or through DNA enhancement, mitochondrial modification, or in ways that humans can't understand at the moment, in short, these are science and technology. Because the meaning of science and technology itself is not metal, not dream, not fox Internet, not shǒujī...... Science and technology are the use and transformation.

All...... All technology.

So Xu Liang concluded: "I understand what you mean, you are actually saying that although these termites do not seem to have aircraft cannons, but because their technology is stronger than ours, their overall strength and attack ability are also stronger than ours." In other words, they are more developed than us, and they can easily beat us, right? ”

Duan Qing: "That's right, the development of science and technology to the end is to gain racial superiority and win the battle...... Think about it, although we have all kinds of military means, if hundreds of trillions of these giant termites suddenly appear on the earth, have we ever fought it? ”

"Bombs? Nuclear bomb? Maybe the humans themselves were blown up first! ”

"Pesticides? Come on, pesticides don't ...... in their eyes."

"Therefore, these termites that have developed biotechnology to the point where they can change their body shape and their own strength are actually far superior to us humans in terms of racial strength!"

Looking at the huge and powerful size and agile movements of those termites, Xu Liang had to admit: if they really breed casually and can have such a body shape casually...... Even if they don't launch a Category 13 tsunami, humans won't be able to save the planet.

They are indeed strong, and they are also intelligent.

Moreover, these giant termites are most likely not the only intelligent creatures!

As for where the creatures are hidden...... Thinking of this, Xu Liang looked at the deep ravines that could be seen everywhere on the surface of the ground outside. Perhaps, they came out of the underground, under the former seabed?

---

"But there's one thing I don't understand." Xu Liang said, "These termites, or other super life forms that may exist, why do they mess with us? ”

"Why?"

"They're unleashing a huge tsunami that has destroyed the global environment, and what do these giant termites, or maybe other creatures that exist, what do they want to do?"

Duan Qing glanced at Xu Liang deeply.

This time, she paused longer than she had just been. She even sat down again and pulled out a document.

Then he said to Xu Liang: "This is what I have always wanted to say...... Xu Liang, you really grasped the core problem. ”

She continued: "What you're talking about is actually the one I said half of the story before, and half of it is left, remember? It is...... The lighting of the tech tree? ”

Of course, Xu Liang remembered that the incident of Duanqing Science and Technology Tree was only half talked about, and there were many important things that were not finished in the future.

Duan Qing: "The reason you asked, in fact, I already have a clear dáàn. ”

"Why are they? For the sake of collecting technology. ”

"Yes, it's collecting."

"It's not about R&D, it's not about creating technology...... It's about 'collecting' technology! ”

Xu Liang listened carefully.

Gather??

He shook his head and said, "Collect technology?" Isn't science and technology researched? Isn't it through the thinking of theorists and the experiments of practitioners? ”

Duan Qing said, "No. This may be true for human beings, but if you look at the entire biological world, it is very likely that the way our technology is developing is a special case. ”

"You know, we humans have mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, economics, geography, politics, literature, architecture...... There are at least hundreds of scientific disciplines. The fusion of so many kinds of science and technology has formed a brilliant human civilization. ”

"For comparison, if you're looking at those giant termites, you can also think about the rabbits we just saw, or something else...... Have you seen them use tools? ”

"Or do you see any science and technology in them other than biotechnology?"

Xu Liang shook his head. Obviously no, they are just physically strong, all kinds of strong.

Duan Qing came to a conclusion: "Their biotechnology far surpasses ours, at least reaching the level of the third order, but other aspects ...... They are much weaker than us! ”

"That's my conclusion. Not necessarily true, but at least so far, the conclusion is correct! ”

"In fact, having a strong biotechnology and rapidly evolving itself may be the norm for a normal, ordinary civilization population!"

"It is normal to only develop biotechnology, and other science and technology are blank!"

"And like us humans, the situation of comprehensively developing the technology tree, but not being proficient in each one, may be rare and strange!"

"Maybe, I mean, maybe, they're just collecting our technology to create a tsunami!" js3v3
