"Turn these two propositions upside down, import them in, and see if it can affect their spirits." Azir flipped through the notebook that had just been recorded, and said to the researcher next to him.

The researchers quickly retreated when they received the order.

Azir was tweaking the internal data of the Ascendant experiment, and he had just done a psychic experiment to collect a lot of mental fluctuation data from the volunteers, which he collected and put together with Shurima's rich gene pool.

These will be essential elements for the future refinement of the Ascendant project.

In the past few days, Azir has noticed that there are a lot more genetics researchers in the Academy of Sciences, most of whom have been assigned to Assitaya's side to assist him, but he doesn't know why they are all back now.

Even if they asked them why, they themselves didn't know that Asitaya had disbanded them suddenly.

But he hadn't seen Credo for the past few days, and Azir hadn't paid attention to it, thinking that since Credo was Asitaya's cousin, maybe she was accompanying him now, after all, his physical condition didn't look good.

Azir turned his attention to the gene pool, which was set up very well, from different races to specific categories, large and small, everything was organized very clearly.

At first, Azir was very happy to see such a complete genetic database, and the clarity of the assignment helped him greatly in the experiments he was going to do, which was not simply a matter of saving time.

Genetic technology is actually very dangerous, each subtle gene contains thousands of information, if you accidentally change the information code carried in it because of mistakes, you may create something terrible, or destroy the original gene structure, causing incalculable losses.

On the basis of subdividing the framework, he can distinguish at a glance which part of the program he is doing has a mistake, so that he can directly align and make modifications, which greatly reduces the probability of experimental failure.

Azil, who was in a good mood, wanted to reward the person in charge of the distribution, but after asking around, he realized that there was no one in charge of the distribution here, they just imported the genetic data into it, and then the system divided it by itself.

There is a built-in algorithm in the system.

He asked who wrote the algorithm, but the dean of the Academy of Sciences told him that it was not made by modern people, but that it was directly imported from the distribution laws that had been handed down hundreds of years ago.

In his mouth, Azir learned another surprising thing, this whole set of framework allocation method is the same geneticist that Azir consulted at the beginning - that is, the scholar who suddenly went ahead of his time in genetics.

Azir wanted to ask who this man was, but the dean didn't know, and somehow, all the information about this person was drowned in the long river of history, and he couldn't find it.

But there is a secret story about him in the scholarly circles, which is similar to an urban legend.

The scholar who laid the foundation for the entire genomics of Shurima, he lived only half the life of the Shurima people before he died.

Azir was surprised, for he always felt that the law of distribution that the scholar had created was similar to some of the things he had learned in Kamigawa.

Azir didn't want to keep this man, some urban legends, in his brain any longer, because he still had to focus on the Ascendant project.

But the information about those scientists is like a mosquito in a summer night, you can't get rid of it, and when you want to face him, you can't find it.

While Azir was distressed, Nasus found him.

He looked anxious: "I know I shouldn't have come to you when you were focusing on research, your research is about the future of Shurima, but if it is for the future of Shurima, I have to come and ask you for help." ”

Azir was stunned by him: "Scholar, speak slowly. ”

"I'd like to ask you to help Asitaya." Nasus said.

"You're saying there's something wrong with his body?" Azir thought about Asitaya's state these days, "I'm sorry, scholar, I'm not a doctor, I think the Consulate-General can still enter the Royal Hospital and enjoy the best resources." ”

Nasus shook his head: "His problem is not that he is sick, Your Majesty, Asitaya's genes are born with problems. ”

Azir couldn't figure it out: "You mean he was infected with some genetic disease?" If that's the case, I can really help, I'm a genetic engineer, and if Shurima's technology can't do it, Kamigawa's knowledge may be able to help. ”

"Your Majesty, you don't understand what I mean."

Although Nasus was in a hurry, he still didn't interrupt Azir, but waited for the first moment of his finish to steal the conversation, "He is genetically flawed, and like the people in his mother's family, most of them only live half of our lifespan, and now his time is almost up!" ”

There was a pop, as if there was an electric light passing through Azir's head, and those fragments were combined into a complete picture in an instant, and all kinds of information were connected in series, and Azil understood something.

"What does his mother, your wife, have to do with the scientist who laid the foundation for the entire Shurima genomics in our history?"

Azir was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "It seems that you already know about Taya, that scientist is the ancestor of their family. ”

"His descendants, Taya, Asitaya, and Credo, and everyone in their family, will only live to half our age."

Azir frowned and listened, sure enough.

"Actually, before you came back, Asitaya's symptoms were already prominent, he used to be a very strong young man, but when you saw him...... He's already thin, and Asitaya's life is draining......"

"I'm sure you've heard about my time, when genetic technology was very chaotic and unregulated, and all kinds of genetically mutated humans and beasts emerged one after another, and the royal family wanted to ...... It's easy to manage, and it also creates mutants in its own camp. ”

"My wife, Taya is one of them, and many people in her family have joined the organization, and the people in this family have gained far more power than ordinary people after receiving genetic technology, as if they were born with stronger genes than others, so they were very valued by the royal family at that time."

"After I joined, I didn't undergo genetic modification, but I have been helping to work as a staff officer at the agency level, which is one of the reasons why I was able to enter the official career, and it is precisely because of this that I can further my relationship with Taya."

"When we trusted each other completely, she told me the truth about their family...... It can also be said to be a story. ”

"The ancestor of their family, the geneticist, was very obsessed with genetic research at the beginning, but he has never been able to make a breakthrough, and no matter what methods and experiments he does, his conjectures will always be proven wrong."

"He was miserable because studying genetics was his ideal, but it was becoming more and more illusory."

"Until one day, a god descends from the sky, please don't think it's ridiculous, Your Majesty, a scientist who is supposed to be materialistic believes that it is a god."

"The god showed knowledge and skills that he could not understand, and he knelt down and prayed to the god to give him the strength to pursue the truth."

"The god gave it to him in the end, and he gained unparalleled knowledge, but it came at a price, the power of the gods was not something that mortals could bear, and this power benefited him and his descendants while also depriving them of half of their lives."

"This is not power, Your Majesty, this is a curse!"

Nasus coughed excitedly, and Azir had a bowl of water serve him to recover.

"What do you mean...... Was it that a person from a higher civilization came to our world and gave Asitaya's ancestors some knowledge that he could not bear, which also caused him to have certain problems with his genes, which have been passed down to the present? ”

Azir squinted, and what Nasus said was almost no different from what he had thought.

"Yes." Nasus nodded, "You should know that there are not 'gods' in the universe, and you have lived with them for twenty years. ”

"Do you think that superior civilization is a Kamigawa?" Azir asked.

"Just my guess...... After all, they're the only gods I've ever seen, old man. Nasus said.

Azir sat in his chair, silent, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

In fact, in the final analysis, the Ascendant technology is also genetic technology.

He returned to Shurima to develop his own genetic technology, and if the Shurima people had made their own achievements in this area, it would be an excellent thing.

But only now did he realize that Kamigawa's shadow seemed to be everywhere.

Azir didn't get frustrated because of this, Kamigawa is the most powerful and advanced civilization in the universe, they are already guiding the development of the whole universe, if there is a place where the shadow of Kamigawa technology is not seen, maybe it will be a strange thing.

Azir still thinks the same way, he does not reject the technology or theories of advanced civilizations, if a person can make other people's experience his own, then he has great ability.

But what happened to Asitaya made him wonder if too much knowledge would be for a civilization that could not bear him.

Is it a curse?
