Chapter 202: The Selfish Gene
"Is there another consciousness lurking in our genes?" He suddenly had this somewhat chilling thought. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Bai Mo remembers that he once read such a book, in which he used anthropomorphism to see genes as a selfish existence with independent consciousness.
According to it, a large number of human activities, including the obsession with inheritance and the natural closeness to blood relatives, are essentially the infinite pursuit of self-replication by the genes hidden deep in it.
Biology is just the carrier of genes, and most of the so-called desires, the dominant of substance are genes, and he just laughed when he saw such a point of view at that time, but now he looks back on it a little creepy, because the unified decomposition of DNA in cells before was too neat and unreasonable.
It's just that no matter how many experiments Bai Mo has done on DNA extraction with cell samples from other organisms and even other people, there has never been a similar collapse, as if he was just a special case, and all conjectures are just conjectures that cannot be proven.
For this kind of question, which is still clearly beyond his ability and has serious conspiracy theories, he decided to put it aside for a while, and wait until he has more power and more effective methods of inquiry in the future.
"And the path I took seems to be a bit uneconomical, the spirit map I have worked so hard to collect can only be reduced to fuel for the birth of a new body, and all the current research and development of spiritual arts are based on human flesh, this step of mine may be too big."
There are gains and losses, this experiment broke the shackles that restricted him from continuing to become stronger, but the advanced evolution also led to excessive outliers, and the information on the entire contribution point system basically lost its reference significance to Bai Mo's new body all of a sudden, and all the groping had to rely on himself step by step and start from scratch.
No one understands what the original essence is, and he will not be able to take himself to others to slice it, although the new body's thinking and calculation speed have made another leap forward after the breakthrough, but the research work has suddenly changed from the collective efforts of countless people to the solitary road of one person, and the overall speed of exploration is still obviously slowed down.
"Since both this shell and other external substances can be assimilated into the primordial substance, then there is no need for me to eat my own body first, even if assimilating it can become stronger faster."
Since then, through his active control, the primordial substance no longer assimilates the surrounding internal structures, but slowly devours the excess water of the body and the aura inhaled to strengthen itself.
Bai Mo carefully maintained the integrity of his body, because he was not sure whether the path he was taking was right or wrong, just in case, maybe someone would find a new way to evolve without destroying the structure of the spirit in the future, and with an original body, there would be the possibility of starting over.
There are still too many secrets to be unearthed, and this time it was just an accident that allowed him to "cultivate" the "Yuan Shen" and be able to survive without his body.
He never thought that there was only one way, and he also learned from the old man in the Tianxuan Continent that even if it was a mature cultivation system like them, there were five paths to immortals, and the initial power system should be even more contend.
In the new sea of purple gills, seven people representing the highest power of the entire federation began their daily regular meetings.
In the past nearly a year, with the support of the human and material resources of the entire Huaya Federation, all the members of the seven-member conference have entered the integration period and have become high-level abilities who can deter one side by strength alone.
can allow several old people who were originally over seventy years old to step into the integration period in such a short period of time, at a speed that exceeds that of countless young people, and this new species that has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain is naturally the number one hero.
They provide an abundant source of natural resources and earthly treasures for the overlord humans on land, allowing some lucky boys to soar into the sky. But behind the adventures, how many people who risked their lives to make a fortune buried in the wilderness, only God knows.
A large number of adventurers who are eager to get rich overnight, or die at the hands of mutated creatures, or die at the hands of humans, and the secret realms of all sizes have buried the dreams of countless people.
The mutation evolution time is not long enough, and the vast majority of creatures have not yet accumulated the ability to face heavy thermal weapons, so in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the regular army, even if the powerful mutant beasts that appear in isolation, most of them will eventually become a meal on the plate of some people and become food for them to maintain their status.
By accelerating the acquisition of power through power and wealth, and then using the newly acquired power to seize power and wealth, the tearing of social hierarchies has become more obvious, and even the length of life, which was originally the only fairness, has begun to become unbalanced.
It is true that a small number of people have succeeded in turning their lives against the odds and becoming the upper echelons of society through luck, but as a price, society has begun to truly move in the direction of success by mutation rather than effort.
“…… The reconstruction of the six newly integrated provinces in the south has been largely completed. Rong Jingya, as Ye Zi's secretary, reported to the few people present about the original southern countries.
"After a year of re-management of household registration, there are now more than 21.3 million households in the six provinces, with a total population of 83.22 million, and the society has basically stabilized."
"The main management problem is still language communication, although there is a cross-language communication method such as mental fluctuations, but the minimum standard used is the ability of the fate period, and others can only listen to ......"
"Our long-term goal is to completely digest this new territory of more than one million square kilometers within 20 years, according to the development trend of the Sea Tribes and our humans, more and more of them can go ashore, and we can go into the water more and more, and the current sit-down situation will not last long." Liu Zhen said his opinion, and the recorder next to him also kept writing.
"And we also have to face the pressure of the two forest secret realms at the same time, how many powerful mutated animals and plants are hidden in it is still unknown, once it gushes out, I am afraid that the entire rear will be eroded."
After the Autumn of the Spirit River incident, there were some secret realms large and small on the land of the whole world, most of which were the products of the special local environment and the seemingly omnipotent aura, through some unknown reactions, among which there were four of the largest forest secret realms.
They are the Secret Land of Yunnan that starts from the southwest of the Huaya Federation and continues to South Asia; from the northeastern part of the Sino-Asian Federation to the whole of Siberia in Mauritania; the secret realm of Soma in southern Africa; and finally in the Amazon Secret Land in South America.
Almost all mutated land creatures will move towards these secret realms after awakening. After discovering this strange phenomenon, human beings have also done various investigations, confirming that there is an incomparably large protective energy field covering various secret realms.
Although people can enter, all kinds of electronic equipment cannot be used normally inside, and many metals will quickly denature in it, resulting in damage to machine parts.
Researchers have hypothesized that the energy field is caused by the resonance of countless mutated plants, but there is still no definitive evidence.
