The next day, early in the morning.

It's just dawning in Manila.

In the conference hall that hosted the conference on human evolution, many people had already arrived first, and these people were all in groups to discuss the theme of today's conference.

As soon as Aung Fujita went online, he was stopped by Dr. Mu Xi from the Venus Life Research Institute.

"Fujita, long time no see."

Fujita Ang looked surprised: "Mr. Mu Xi, it turns out that you also came to participate in this seminar?" Why didn't I see you yesterday? ”

"I was doing an experiment yesterday and couldn't get out of it." Mu Xi explained, and then asked with a smile, "Fujita, I heard that you guys are studying the six-clawed people?" ”

This is not a secret, it was because of secrecy before, but now that the company has disclosed the existence of the six-claw civilization, he naturally has no scruples, and nodded slightly:

"Yes, Mr. Mu Rhino, we have been researching for almost two years, and I am currently in charge of researching the plants of the Six-Clawed Civilization."

Mu Rhino was a little curious: "Are there any characteristics of the plants of the six-clawed civilization?" ”

Aung Fujita organized the language: "How do you say it...... The plants of the six-clawed civilization do not rely on photosynthesis, but on geothermal heat, and do not have chloroplasts themselves, but use a structure called the thermal cell wall......"

After listening to Fujita Ang's explanation, Mu Xi thoughtfully touched his beard: "Some of the underground creatures of Venus also have a similar structure, and it seems that they have converged and evolved, even if they cross other galaxies. ”

"Teacher, today's topic is artificial organs and genetic combinations, what do you think?"

"My view is very simple, if we want to go to the universe, there is no hope of relying on natural evolution in a short period of time." Mu Xi said that the key point was broken.

Hearing this, Aang Fujita felt the same way.

When he deeply studied the development of the six-clawed civilization, Aung Fujita knew that it would be very difficult for human beings to evolve from a single planetary creature to a cosmic creature.

Even if the six-clawed people who have developed in the space field for more than 100,000 years, their genetic evolution path is actually very bumpy and dangerous.

Just when the two of them were chatting.

Li Qingye and Tian Hemeng also arrived.

Still the same as yesterday, Li Qingye went straight to the point: "Everyone, the theme of today's discussion is the combination of artificial organs and genes, as we all know, with the development of the times, we will inevitably move towards the model of cosmic biology." ”

"I think that cosmic beings must have five abilities: first, long-term stable biological internal circulation; second, it must be able to resist all kinds of rays and high-energy particles in the universe; Third, it must have the ability to obtain life energy and nutrients directly from the universe; Fourth, it must have the ability to vacuum fly and change orbits; Fifth, it must have the ability to communicate over long distances. ”

"Obviously, these 5 standards are too high, with the current human beings, with the assistance of bio-based armor, they can only barely do a small part of it, so today, civilization will discuss how to completely turn bio-based armor into a part of human genes."

After Li Qingye threw bricks and led the way, others were not to be outdone and expressed their thoughts one after another.

Offstage.

Aung Fujita told his teacher, Mu Xi, his thoughts: "Teacher, if we use the method of chromosomes to edit the genes of a total of bio-based armor to create a new pair of chromosomes, can we turn bio-based armor into human genes?" ”

However, Mu Xi shook his head: "Fujita, your idea is good, but it is too conservative, I think we should adopt a diploid structure and double the number of human chromosomes." ”

"Nani? Doubling the number of chromosomes? But this should affect reproduction, right? Fujita thought with his brow furrowed.

Another researcher on the side patted him on the shoulder: "Senior brother, have you forgotten what senior brother is studying?" ”

Fujita Ang looked at Zhang Yuan, who had also been seen for a long time: "Senior brother, the human asexual reproduction technology you have studied has been successful?" ”

Zhang Yuan proudly called up a paper: "This is what I and a few colleagues researched some time ago, called the reproductive control system, which is modulated by using various genes, if it can be modified into a pair of chromosomes that specifically manage reproduction, let alone doubling the number of chromosomes, even triploids and tetraploids can also reproduce, I have done relevant experiments on polyploid animals." ”

Aung Fujita and Mu Xi were very surprised, and they hurriedly flipped through the paper.

After reading it, the two of them found that the technology studied by Zhang Yuan was very powerful, which is equivalent to man-made a new pair of XY chromosomes, and also borrowed from the genetic reproduction patterns of other animals and plants.

Zhang Yuan explained: "This is part of the technology that the company intends to use in the monomer breeding system in the future. ”

The three of them continued to discuss.

Many researchers, who have already made theoretical preparations, have come to the stage one after another to express their ideas.

Li Qingye listened while summarizing the views of all parties.

The current theory of evolution has three hypothetical lines.

One is the gene replacement theory, which is to remove some useless genes from the original genetic sequence of human beings and replace them with genetic sequences that can adapt to the universe.

One is the gene increment theory, which is to add a part of the new gene sequence to the original gene sequence of human beings, so that human beings can adapt to the life of the universe.

One is the theory of extreme evolution, which allows human genes to mutate naturally in the cosmic environment by accelerating mutations, so as to screen out some cosmic genes that can be used, and then add them to human genes through genetic recombination.

Among them, the chromosome multiplication of wood rhinoceros, Fujita Ang and others is one of the branches of gene increment theory.

At present, all theories are public and reasonable, and mother-in-law says that mother-in-law is reasonable.

Li Qingye did not directly specify which one as the direction of the future, his idea was to let a hundred flowers bloom.

Anyway, the resources of Homo sapiens are still relatively sufficient, and the three routes can go hand in hand, even if only one is the last suitable, under the fierce competition, they can also promote each other.

Even if it was Li Qingye, he didn't dare to easily determine which technical route was the future of human evolution.

On the evolutionary path, there are no goals that Homo sapiens can learn from and refer to.

The six-clawed people are also only half-cosmic creatures, and they have no way to get out of auxiliary equipment and spacesuits in the vacuum of space.

Therefore, Li Qingye plans to invest in all three paths.

However, he personally prefers the chromosome multiplication theory, which doubles the number of chromosomes without changing the original gene sequence, and controls the new organs through the genetic sequence of these new chromosomes.

At present, the "internal circulation organs", "photosynthetic cortex organs", "energy storage organs", "compressed gas injection organs", "remote communication organs", "mineral decomposition and absorption organs", and "shell organs resistant to radiation and high-energy particles" have been preliminarily identified.

These seven new organs were officially established for research.

And these new organs must not be controlled using the original human gene sequence, but must be controlled using the new gene sequence.

This happens to be in line with the theory of chromosomal increment, which can be combined with each other to edit the genes of the new organs and then combine them into new chromosomes.

This is also the reason why Li Qingye is more optimistic about the chromosome increment theory, because the two are easier to combine.
