Chapter XXVII: The Structure of the End of the World

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The outside world is the real end times, and the inside of the wall can vaguely see the traces of civilization.

Away from the city walls, you can see the well-groomed streets and the houses on the side of the streets. After Li Qing's senses were raised, he could still see that there were figures shaking in those repaired houses that were still in good condition. Obviously, there are quite a few inhabitants here, and they are still living in the civilized world.

Those who can live in this city are lucky - this luck may be given by God, or it may be brought about by the power left over from the previous world, but in any case, it is much safer and more secure to live here than in other cities.

"There is still electricity in the city." The fourth child walked on the street, did not look around, but could feel the breath of electricity, "In today's isolation of the city, if the city supplies electricity, it can only be nuclear energy, and there is a nuclear reactor in the city, if the willow tree comes, it is very unsafe."

There is a power supply in the city, and it can supply electricity to a large city like Beijing, but in the current state of the world, it can only be nuclear energy - the traditional way of electricity consumes energy. For example, thermal power – which consumes coal, and in such a world, it is almost impossible to dig coal in the wild – and there are already trees and other species outside. The hydropower-water three-dimensional biosphere is more abundant than that of the six places, and some hydropower stations traditionally built on the river, such as the Three Gorges and so on, have long ceased to operate, and the transmission pipelines have long been destroyed due to changes in the outside world. Wind and solar, which are net energy sources, were not widespread in previous times, and are even less likely now, because they are too expensive and inefficient to use. A windmill cost tens of millions of dollars in the previous era, but the energy generated was very scarce, and now not only do not have the manpower and material resources, but also the local area does not allow it.

"If Willow sends a humanoid over and directly detonates the nuclear reactor, won't the city be blown up all at once?" Walking on the street, the fourth child made an assumption, "Resurrecting the human beings who occupy the brain domain by him, Willow should have this ability, right?" ”

"There must be, but ordinary people have been resurrected, and it is estimated that they will not be able to enter the upper echelons of Beijing." A child next to him, Li Qing followed the voice and looked over, now this child is smaller, and because of the very similar appearance, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between their numbers, but Li Qing knows that this time it is the new No. 7 who is speaking, "There must be particularly powerful people at the top of Beijing, after the end begins, half of China's capable people who have ideas are estimated to come here." When Henan first started, didn't the two brain domain mutants from the entire province gather in Zhengzhou, then there should be more in Beijing, and there are particularly powerful people if you can't keep it. ”

As they spoke, they walked past a field - farmland carved out in the city, surrounded by the handles of soldiers.

"Look, isn't this grain crop in shape? It's not much worse than the crops that Li Qingshui made, the genes are stable, they don't mutate into something else during the growth cycle, and the fruit is still so big. Li Qing didn't know how the two children "saw" the crops, but when he looked along the path next to them, he saw farmland on the side of the streetβ€”a way of growing crops in the city that he had never dared to imagine in the previous world. After all, according to the theory before the doomsday, a house in Beijing is several million, and every inch of land is expensive, who will tear down the house to grow food?

"If you have fucking seeds, why don't you get more of them and plant them outside of the city? Do you have to circle up in the city, thinking that the people outside are too full, and they are afraid that they will not be able to survive? Zhang Qinliang heard that there were seeds but they didn't spread it, so he immediately shouted and complained next to him, "If you still find someone to watch, those fools won't steal some seeds to sell?" ”

"It's not that simple, this kind of seed is genetically modified, and it can only be planted for one generation, and above the second generation, in this world of red mist, even if the gene is stable, it will have to mutate. The reason why it cannot be planted in the wild is that the wild animals and plants are too messy, and this kind of artificially modified species cannot be leaked into nature. The fourth child answered Zhang Qinliang's question.

"Why?" This time, even Li Qing was a little confused.

"Because the species that are artificially made, in fact, are all deformed species. For example, this kind of food, it seems that the fruit is large and easy to grow and not easy to mutate, but this is all artificially synthesized and modified. This is equivalent to a kind of deformity, and if it is accidentally mutated when it spreads, it is much more terrifying than those creatures outside. The fourth child explained again.

"What's at stake?" Zhang Qinliang asked, "Aren't they all mutations?" ”

"No, the mutation in nature is actually a kind of mutant evolution of a group or a single body, and in fact, it is a benign mutation for the competition between nature and organisms. For example, the species outside, with sharp claws, fast action, strong survivability, and high intelligence, is a danger to humans, but looking at the natural world, this is just a manifestation of their ability to enhance their own survival, which is positive. And human beings were driven out by them, just because human beings are not strong in their ability to survive independently outside of scientific means, and our squeezed living space is the reason for too fierce competition, and from a macro point of view, it is not malignant. Therefore, their mutation can be called evolution rather than mutation. ”

"But the species that humans have modified is different, and it does not have natural attributes." When the fourth child said this, his voice paused, "What humans have modified is a genetically mutilated species, for example, this kind of food, we seek genetic stability, so we castrate a part of their information genetic signals, they are mutilated and deformed, but this form is temporarily beneficial to humans, so people plant it." However, once this inherently deformed species mutates, it will have unpredictable consequences - although the probability is not large, once it is waved out, the consequences are unimaginable. When I used to read Li Qingshui's experimental data, I saw a species -- devil moss, that is, a deformed species mutated from artificial food crops, which has a very strong survivability and terrifying reproductive ability, and can eat anything. Rocks, soil, metals, leather, flesh and even chemical products, everything can be corroded and devoured by their secretions, their reproductive ability, according to Li Qingshui's calculations, ten square centimeters of devil moss, if released, in less than a year, can cover the entire earth and destroy all species, and they themselves are poisonous, and they are very, very aggressive, in order to destroy others, they can even sacrifice themselves This kind of thing that exists purely for the sake of destroying miè will not be produced by nature"

"Because healthy species in nature do not have the property of extinction. There is a limiting ability in their genes, which is a God-given lock to the species, so that the species does not achieve the self-destructive characteristic. Species do not destroy for the sake of destruction, like animals hunting, he kills you only because he is hungry and he wants to eat, not for the sake of killing you. Killing people for the sake of killing people, even if it is an intelligent species, is a rational pervert, and if a species without a mind destroys for the sake of destruction, it is a pure deformed species, and this species can only be produced on something that is genetically defective in itself. ”

The fourth child explained in detail, and finally looked up at Zhang Qinliang, "I said that, do you understand?" ”

"Understood" Zhang Qinliang nodded, "It's mentally ill."

"......" the fourth child was silent for a long time, "You can also say that"

Everyone walked on the streets of Beijing's inner city, chatting while walking, Li Qing could see a lot of human beings after the end of the world from the surrounding environment, and from the words of the fourth child, he also made up a lot of information and knowledge about this world. He knew that the current social system, because the isolation of cities has become a city-state system -- the paralysis of transportation and communications has made the central government no longer have the ability to radiate political affairs, and each city is a self-contained system, and a city is a country. The small cities present a state of chaos with a small population and personnel, while the political center of the big city is in a place called the research institute.

The full name of the institute is the Biotechnology Research Park, which was built by the state when the red fog had just come and the end of the world had not yet completely come, with dozens in total, covering all the first- and second-tier cities and provincial capitals. Because when the red mist first appeared, some scientists isolated the ingredients inside and studied that it was a strange object that could lead to the rapid mutation and evolution of living things, so as to see the possibility of medicine and biological weapons and human progress, and the state invested in the construction of dozens of large-scale research parks.

However, not long after the park was built, the thin red fog that had only sporadically descended suddenly swept over, and the concentration of the dense fog was so high that it obscured the sky and the sun, dyeing the whole earth red.

Then came the global mutation, the madness of species.

The end of humanity, the feast of living beings - and truly come.

And after a few years of apocalypse, human beings have also mutated some particularly intelligent individuals, who finally rely on their own mortal wisdom to control the military and political power of each city, and then focus on science, research red mist and seek the way of evolution. So, the biological institutes, after the end of the world, really became the center of the city.

After all, the most important things in a city, whether it is food seeds or all kinds of new weapons, come from there.

Smart people control the world.

"Do you think there will be a brain domain mutant in Beijing who is more powerful than Li Qingshui?" As they walked, everyone came to the door of a school, and then stopped, "After all, those who are close to the north of the brain domain mutant should all choose this place, right?" There is a ready-made army, there are better resources? ”

Li Qing stood at the school gate and asked his own questions.

"Impossible." This time he was answered by a single voice - everyone including the executors and clones, everyone showed 10,000 confidence.
