Chapter 209: Talent Determines Destiny (Part II)

Three hours later, Brady Planetary Orbital Ring Genetic Rating Institute.

Under Robin's arrangement, a total of seven people participated in the genetic assessment, namely Lee, Christine, Saila, Johnny, Carey, and Barrett? Tabel and Bartlet? Tabber, except for Robin and Zhuo Luo, who consciously did not participate in this genetic assessment, these seven people are already the most capable elites in the entire team. However, compared to the confidence they were when they entered, when they came out, most of the expressions on their faces were dejected or incredulous.

"Damn~ The broken machine in here must be out of order, how can my evaluation be so low~"

Perhaps it was difficult to accept this cruel reality, after coming out of the genetic assessment center, the big-mouthed Carey kept complaining loudly to Johnny, but he didn't notice that Johnny's face was actually very ugly.

In the Hoffman Empire's hierarchy, it was possible to earn the official title of Knight, Skywalker, Scholar, and Technician after accumulating enough merits. Therefore, the job of the genetic assessment institute is to dig people with these four potentials out of the crowd and give them a formal file so that they can record their future exploits at any time.

Originally, in the self-evaluation of Johnny, Carey and others, they felt that they would definitely be able to obtain a Skywalker title with their talent, although they actually had no intention of serving the Empire, but they still very much hoped to prove their talent through this evaluation in their hearts. But what they never expected was that the final result was much beyond their expectations.

Johnny and Kyrie, for example, are not as proud of their flying talent as they thought they would be, and only received a D rating for their flying expertise. This means that among all the citizens of the Hoffman Empire who have the ability to fly, Johnny and Carey's talents can only be considered to be in the lower average, and they are four levels away from obtaining the title of Skywalker. And the most talented Saira didn't get a high rating, just a B, but it was still much better than Johnny and Kyrie.

As for Barrett? Tabel and Bartlet? The twin brothers of Taber, Robin originally thought that they would come back with an inferior title, but he didn't expect their situation to be much better, and their special ability 'regeneration' is the same as 'steel body' and 'bone armor' is also a physical alienation ability, but in the special ability division of the Hoffman Empire, the assessment of 'regeneration' does not belong to the ranks of degradation, but is classified into the category of evolution. As such, the Taber brothers remain human and not alien. However, due to their 'regeneration' being a low-level evolution, they have not been able to officially step into the ranks of knights in terms of personal evaluation, and have only received a personal evaluation of combat specialty B.

It was through the Taber brothers that Robin realized that the Hoffman Empire's special ability system was fundamentally different from that of the Federation and the Republic.

In the Raymond Federation, the criteria for judging whether a knight or a knight obeys an awakened special ability are actually very vague, and it is entirely determined by whether the awakened special ability can be affected by the external factor of heavy infantry armor amplification.

For example, the special ability of 'regeneration' is actually very common among life on earth, and the most well-known of them is probably the gecko that can regenerate with a broken tail. The reason why the gecko can regenerate the broken tail is actually derived from a hormone in its body. When the gecko's tail is broken, its body will secrete this hormone to cause the tail to regenerate, and when the tail grows, it will immediately stop secreting this hormone, leaving the body as it is.

The same principle applies to the Taber brothers' special ability, 'Regeneration', in which they open the genetic lock and undergo a new round of recombination of DNA in their bodies, which gives their bodies the ability to secrete this hormone. This is where the special ability of 'regeneration' comes into being, giving them the ability to regenerate limbs and repair muscles and internal tissues. Unfortunately, in the Federation's special ability evaluation, this special ability of the body alienation type cannot be amplified after equipping heavy infantry armor. In addition to having more vitality than ordinary warriors, the Taber brothers, who have acquired the special ability of 'regeneration', are almost no different from ordinary warriors in terms of basic combat power, so they are also included in the ranks of knights, and cannot become a true knight in the Knights of the Twin Stars.

Compared with the imperfect special ability system of the Federation, the Hoffman Empire is far ahead of the universe in terms of special abilities.

In the Hoffman Empire, natural people with special abilities are not as rare as the Raymond Federation and the Nine-Star Republic. So as early as more than thirty years ago, the biologists of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences had developed a unique system to distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages of special abilities, which led to the emerging idea of degeneration, and after that, those natural people who had awakened the degraded ability were completely excluded from the ranks of human beings, and they were called xenomorphs.

Such behavior of the Hoffmann Empire would have been unthinkable if it had been placed in the Federation or the Republic. Because of the rarity of special abilities, in the Raymond Federation and the Nine-Star Republic, as long as the special abilities are awakened, then they will definitely have a superhuman social status, even if it distinguishes the difference between knights and knights, but compared to ordinary people, knights still have a higher social status.

And the reason why the Hoffman Empire is so extravagant is to exclude some of the new humans who have awakened their special abilities from the ranks of human beings, and give them the title of inferior people. On the one hand, the Empire is far ahead of the Confederation and the Republic in terms of human resources, and on the other hand, the Empire is more advanced in biology and evolution.

In the evolution theory of the Hoffman Empire, human beings are no longer generally classified as mammals, and the biologists of the empire believe that after human beings opened up intelligence and changed from apes to humans, human beings have actually broken away from the subject of mammals and become the progenitor of intelligent life, a unique species.

It may sound strange, but in fact this kind of species transformation is quite common in the evolution of life. Just as single-celled organisms evolved into multicellular organisms, from multicellular organisms to invertebrates, from invertebrates to vertebrates, and finally from vertebrates to fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and so on.

Taking mammals as an example, the ancestor of mammals appeared in the early Jurassic period 195 million years ago, and was a mouse-like fur animal with a body size of about 50 to 70 mm. In terms of its physiology, important mammalian features have emerged, but at the same time some of the basic characteristics of reptiles have been retained. Therefore, when studying this species, scholars believe that this 'little mouse' is a transitional species in the evolution of reptiles to mammals, and is the ancestor of mammals among the earth's organisms.

Using this as a reference, scholars in the Hoffman Empire believe that the current human beings are actually a transitional species in the evolution of species like this 'little mouse'. Compared with other mammals, humans have developed important characteristics of intelligent life, but they still retain some of the mammalian instincts physiologically.

In the 195 million years from the birth of the early Jurassic period to the end of the old era and the beginning of the Age of Discovery, a total of 5,416 species of mammals have evolved, and thousands of failed works have gone extinct in the process.

This proves that the evolutionary extensibility of progenitor species is unimaginable, as is the case with the increasing number of special energies in the current human evolutionary process. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
