Chapter 485: How the Hell, Did the Dragon Kingdom Do It?
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that we are in a more serious situation than we imagined, and we must do our best to get through this crisis, otherwise it will be difficult to get a reasonable result."
The president of Tajikistan said meaningfully.
Even he felt a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before.
"Mr. President, it's not like things haven't turned around."
"How?"
The Tajikistan president looked up at the technical staff of the Biological Research Center.
"According to the information submitted by the General Meteorological Administration of Tajikistan, oxygen levels are decreasing in all regions of the world."
"At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level, oxygen cannot even be inhaled and it is completely impossible to survive, and human beings reach that altitude, I am afraid that they will die instantly due to lack of oxygen."
"But in all the worlds, there is one exception."
"That's the Dragon Kingdom."
"Dragon Country?"
Everyone present had a look of surprise in their eyes.
I was even more surprised by this.
"Could it be that you're talking about the plants that are planted on the surface of the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Not bad."
Kayson, a technician from the Biological Research Center, said seriously.
"According to our investigation and data collection of oxygen levels in various parts of the world, the oxygen levels in all regions of the world are constantly decreasing, but the oxygen content on the surface of the Dragon Kingdom is recovering at a slow growth rate."
"So far, the surface of the Dragon Kingdom is also the only environment with oxygen content that can support the normal survival of all living things."
"Although they are still in a low temperature state, we can also see from the satellite images taken from the surface of the Dragon Kingdom in the recent period that there have been traces of the survival of animals and plants on the surface of the Dragon Country."
"Even this situation has begun to spread to the surface of the whole country of the Dragon Kingdom."
As soon as these words came out, the people around heard about it and immediately talked about it.
"It's really strange, why is the situation in the Dragon Kingdom completely different from other countries every time?"
"That's right, if it's just once or twice, maybe it can be called a coincidence, but every time it's the case, I even suspect that the dragon country got the script of the protagonist."
"Being able to resist in such a hostile environment."
"But it doesn't make sense, we've done the same experiments before, but our oxygen-making algae plants can't survive outside of the defense city."
"Even if it could, it would be 1/50 of what was saved, and this 1/50 of the oxygen production would be of no use to algae plants."
"That's why I think it's strange, what kind of technology does the Dragon Kingdom master? It is possible for animals and plants to survive in such a harsh environment, and not only that, but the current surface environment of the Dragon Kingdom is changing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. ”
"Maybe in the future, when the people of the Dragon Kingdom can adapt to that kind of low temperature environment, they can even return to live on the surface!"
The president of Tajikistan silently listened to the discussion of this group of high-tech talents in Tajikistan.
At the same time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a bold idea came to him.
"Maybe there's a way to explain this."
"That is, the dragon kingdom has modified the plants and animals that live on the surface to ensure that these animals and plants can adapt to the low temperature environment and low oxygen environment."
"So before the oxygen-producing algae plants were covered in large areas, these animals and plants were able to survive in such a harsh environment by virtue of their excellent abilities."
"Now the oxygen content on the surface of the Dragon Kingdom has begun to warm up, which is an unprecedented good thing for all animals and plants, even in the case of low temperatures, but they have already adapted to such an environment."
But all researchers who have taken advanced biology courses and paleontological research know that there is a principle.
That is, when oxygen is abundant, the growth rate of any organism is definitely faster than that of an oxygen-deficient environment.
And it grows healthier and fuller.
The most obvious difference is between those who used to grow up in highland areas and those who live at low altitudes and have a rich natural environment.
People in the highlands are often in high altitude and oxygen is scarce, resulting in strong physical fitness, but at the cost of a relatively short lifespan.
At low altitudes, humans have a better environment for growth due to the comfortable ecological environment.
Therefore, many times you can see people at low altitudes, and human beings are very handsome and beautiful.
Not only that, but they also live significantly longer than those at high altitudes.
And that's just the thinning of oxygen due to altitude.
If it changes from a normal oxygen environment to an oxygen-rich environment.
Then the change will be even greater.
Not necessarily, all the organisms in the world will start a new round of species explosion because of this.
In the past, the average height of human beings may have only been about 160 cm, but in that environment, the average height of human beings may increase to more than 1.7 meters or 1.8 meters.
These are all possible.
"Mr. President, what you said is also reasonable, but how exactly does the Dragon Kingdom conduct cold-resistant gene screening? Could it be that they have been able to carry out genetic modification projects? ”
Someone asked with a look of surprise on his face.
And this question was naturally rejected by the staff of the Institute of Biology without hesitation.
"Impossible!"
"With the current scientific knowledge of human beings and the fields explored, although it is possible to modify the gene chain to a certain extent, it is difficult to achieve directional adjustment."
The so-called directional adjustment refers to the change of the genes of the species according to a certain demand of reality.
This results in the species gaining abilities that it never had before.
But this limitation is very large.
And there is a high probability that exclusion will occur.
Once there is rejection between the gene strands, then it affects the organism itself.
There is a possibility of complete death.
"But the Dragon Kingdom has done it now! If they did, why do you say it's impossible? ”
"Because they're not using this method of gene chain modification!"
Said the technician of the Institute of Biology.
"For example, if we want a sheep to fly in the sky, we can implant the eagle's wing growth gene to make the sheep grow wings."
"But judging from the current situation, it is impossible for a sheep to grow wings, and even if they do, they cannot be used at all."
That is to say, the fact that sheep grow wings and soar like eagles in the sky is only a theory! And this is called genetically directed alteration! ”
