Chapter 272: Perfect Human to Perfect Life
Cao Chuan maintains a scale simulation, which does not conflict with his normal entertainment activities, so every day when he finishes the game, he habitually sleeps in the virtual world like the real world, and when he wakes up, he will see some results appear.
However, he didn't start moving in the direction of the final perfect life, he didn't even have the concept of a perfect life, how could he accomplish such a goal.
How about trying to reach the ultimate perfection of humanity first? His idea was this, because the birth of the perfect human being was related to the size of the gene pool, and even if it was to collect high-quality genetic fragments of ancient heroes to fill in the gaps, there was still no way to reach the limit.
After there is a way to design the genetically, if there is a defect, can't you create it yourself? It's just that the genes created are basically risky, almost like a virus, so they have to go through complex verification before they can be used.
Even so, a month later, Cao Chuan found that his frozen body had improved by about 10% in terms of overall quality.
"This time it's really the ultimate perfect human being..."He checked his soulless body for the time being, and found that there was no problem, "In this case, if you provide it to the exchange list, you will definitely be able to make another amount of money." ”
"What else can you try?" He said to himself, "Oh yes, breathing problems are a nuisance in the universe, can we solve it completely?" ”
What did he think of again, in this way, it would be no problem for him to wear a thin protective suit and float directly in space for decades, wouldn't it be a very good ability?
Assuming a complete switch to anaerobic respiration, according to the current structure of the human body, the entire respiratory system will be greatly changed, from the nostrils, trachea, lungs, and blood carrying oxygen will have problems. There is also anaerobic respiration that will be less efficient, but as long as it does not suffocate.
Cao Chuan insisted on the rules of simulation, and the goal was to design a gene fragment that would make anaerobic respiration, which is usually only stimulated when there is not enough oxygen, become the mainstream, not allowing the production of lactic acid, and at the same time finding ways to improve the efficiency of respiration.
A design out of thin air like this. Of course, it is difficult, but don't forget that there is also the reference data accumulated by the quantum computer genetic adjustment simulation for decades, and the experience brought by the large-scale popularization of biological machines and molecular machines allows him to spend one month of regular simulation time to put his ideas into practice.
"My body has changed." Cao Chuan watched as a part of his body's tissues was sent to an oxygen-free environment, maintaining a certain temperature and energy, and began to replicate itself.
"It's better to go out into the universe and drift down in person. I know whether this anaerobic respiration is good or not. It's just that I don't have a body for the time being, and I'm still in a state of transition, so it's not convenient to go out at all. ”
Cao Chuan turned to explore other possibilities of genetic design, and if there was one other ability that he felt humans urgently should have, it should be the ability of the virus to evolve at a rapid pace.
Humans have evolved over millions of years from apes to modern Homo sapiens, but viruses can be hit by constant drugs in humans. Isn't it enviable that it has evolved into hundreds or thousands of variants in less than a few years?
He knows that viruses have this ability. The reason is that their genetic helix is very unstable, so each "reproduction" will lead to a new evolution, coupled with the original scale advantage of the virus, through the law of survival of the fittest in nature, the part of the mutant virus that adapts to the environment survives.
He needs that kind of ability, and he's even been able to do it a little bit. That is, relying on its own molecular manipulation ability, artificially led evolution, but the speed is still a little slow.
"It would be nice if we could compress three months into a few hours." Cao Chuan pondered, "Imagine such a scenario, a nuclear bomb will explode in 10 minutes. However, I have a way to quickly adjust my genes in a short period of time, adapt to the strong radiation environment, and avoid being poked by radiation. ”
……
With a similar goal in the past two years, Cao Chuan will add it to the redemption list every time he achieves an achievement, and seeing that behind the genetic adjustment of the order of thousands, there are a large number of new projects found by applying genetic design, and the employees who have just completed the genetic adjustment suddenly have a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
"God, I just completed the adjustment of the fifth phase of environmental adaptation, thinking that I could take a break for a while, and even told me that there is a new adjustment project?!" An employee reads the text: "Spending 200,000 merits to get rid of dependence on oxygen forever, and no longer afraid of being killed by water, sand, or even choking smoke and vacuum environment, this is really a good thing." ”
"Look, fortunately, I know how to store my merits, and I can exchange them directly at this time." Another employee triumphantly walked up to redeem it.
Unfortunately, he saw the following new genetic adjustments, including free changeable appearance, ultimate perfect human being, three defenses, immunity to viruses... With a look of embarrassment, he felt that his approach was a little sloppy, and fell into a new hesitation.
At this time, Cao Chuan felt that his body was almost optimized, and he was already very close to the level of perfect life, although the specific physical fitness of a single item was actually increased by 50% at most, but what about simply having 5 times, 10 times, and 20 times the strength? It doesn't make sense if you don't have a chance to use it, or if you don't play a role when it matters most.
He attaches more importance to brain domain development, which is more versatile, but unlike genes, he can come as he wants, and there are too few cases of brain domain development for reference.
At this time, he studied the creation of life, how to create a new carbon-based life, exactly?
This is a field that he has not yet touched, and it may deepen his understanding of life, and even from now on, humans can play the role of God during the exploration of the planet, make some small life on other planets, and prosper their civilization.
However, the creation of life is definitely not the pinching of mud in myths and legends, and it is not the pinching villain in the virtual game of "Spore"... He intends to start with the most basic bacteria, and then consider more complex plants and animals.
"Are you going to get involved?" Cao Chuan thought that this was a long project, at least for a while, and even reaching the Hope Star might not be able to be completed, so he planned to let the 3 Loli who had nothing to do some work.
"I sign up, the master wants to create life?"
"yes, for example, it would be interesting to recreate dinosaurs and create ornamental plants that can survive in a vacuum."
"That's true." Nana nodded: "However, we don't have the slightest clue, where does the master think we should start?" ”
"First of all, the basic design of life, strictly speaking, carbon-based life, is the theory that guides how to create life."
"It's like we have to rely on mechanics to design parts that have certain functions, and then apply industrial design to turn parts into more complex machines; We rely on genetic design to create gene fragments with certain functions, and through life design, the original gene fragments are purposefully combined to find a full set of genes that meet our desired characteristics. ”
"Then we start with bacteria, and if we can create the bacteria we want, we can come into contact with more complex plants, animals, and even intelligent life." (To be continued.) )
