Chapter 14: Primitive Man
……
After returning from Saturn to Terra, the first thing Qin Mo did was to take the genes of the emperor and Machado to his genetic masters for study.
He didn't have any special purpose, just curiosity.
And that geneticist also quickly used various research instruments commissioned by Qin Mo to get relatively simple results.
This simple study was even done in front of Qin Mo.
"These two immortals are not genetically different."
"God......
"Of course." Qin Mo thought to himself that the emperor himself could use his own genes, otherwise how could the original body come from.
He knew that Machado must be wondering if the gene he was working on was wrong, but he had long suspected it.
Qin Mo didn't bother anymore and got up to leave.
"But if there is a powerful being who wants our species to survive and thrive, it's like another material version of me."
But the problem is that there will not be a second such a genetic sample at this time, even if you deliberately want to make a mistake, you can't do it.
"No, they're unique." The scholar shook his head.
When Machado came closer to observe, his face was expressionless, but when he did, he was just as surprised as the emperor.
"Okay." Qin Mo felt that this answer was not unexpected, he didn't want to use the genes of these two people, but for some reason he couldn't help but ask.
The scholar took off his gloves and sat in the corner of the laboratory, continuing his duty of researching drugs.
But it's not the current Terra, it's the Terra of the very ancient times, and the Terra of the time when Terra wasn't called Terra.
The scholar summarized it as clearly and concisely as possible.
After listening, Qin Mo pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Can their genes have a special purpose?" Like prolonging life, like resurrecting the dead, or whatever? ”
Machado was called into the Himalayan underground laboratory by the shouts of the psionic emperor.
The scholar looked at Qin Mo blankly, as if he shouldn't have known, even if he appeared as a human now.
Macardo continued.
The emperor understood what he said.
Hearing the Emperor's words, Makado was so shocked that he sat down in his chair and pondered.
Machado nodded, acknowledging that the emperor had a point.
The emperor seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, lowered his head, and became depressed.
"What's wrong?" Machado stepped forward immediately.
"Do you know how I'm feeling right now?"
"While his very existence is foggy and doubtful, ...... But ......"
When Qin Mo was about to leave the laboratory, the scholar suddenly said, "Although these genes are very unique, it's just that I can't use them. ”
But soon the confusion on the scholar's face was replaced by horror, like waking up from a dream, like a mentally ill person returning to normal.
"Of course, the difference from ordinary people is also huge."
"When I learned that there really is a god, when I naively hoped that perhaps the human species would have a god of protection, and that this species would be favored by the gods...... I feel a lot different from what I feel now, the feeling of seeing hope. ”
The Emperor turned back to look at the instrument and said in a deep voice: "The Star God uses a living metal body, and the human body cannot accommodate such a powerful existence as them, but the fact is that a flesh and blood body with the power of the Star God exists. ”
"The very existence of this gene is a value." The emperor said, "Don't say it's meaningless, don't just look at things from a practical point of view, otherwise why would you people collect artifacts?" ”
"How so?" Makado looked away and looked at the emperor in surprise, "How is this possible?" No...... It's impossible! ”
"That man's genes!" The Emperor pulled Macado to the instrument, "Gene! ”
Makado glanced at the emperor suspiciously, then leaned closer to the instrument to observe, and muttered, "I thought the laboratory had exploded when I heard that psionic call just now." ”
"What did you say?" Qin Mo turned his head suddenly.
"I no longer wish for God to protect humanity because I know God is evil and vile."
Then, Machado asked, "But what's the point?" Humans have been in contact with the subspace and have been affected by the subspace for a long time, and even with such pure primitive human genes, we can't make humans turn back into the original humans. ”
In front of him was the genes of a Terra human.
The scholars preserved the two genetic samples, similar to framing photographs, and then returned the genetic samples to Qin Mo.
"Fraudsters." The scholar looked at Qin Mo, "Don't you remember this damn bastard thing?" ”
Machado looked at the back of the emperor, and he listened, but did not speak.
"But they are all humans, and from a genetic science point of view, there is no doubt that this is the genes of the primate Homo erectus species."
Just as the Lord of Flame and Thunder was about to walk out of the door, the scholar suddenly said something like this.
"However, genetic modification technology was already being used before humans left Terra, otherwise humans would not be able to adapt to the Void and some harsh worlds, so their genes would not be able to be used to inherit those legacies."
The Emperor was equally surprised.
"If it's a fraudster, it's going to be better than I am."
"Wait......" Qin Mo narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise, "I thought you were just an intermittent psychopath...... How do you know about fraudsters? ”
The other side.
He thought that the plan of the Thunder Warriors and the Forbidden Army had succeeded, but when he entered the laboratory, he was surprised to see the emperor holding that hair in his hand.
The Emperor turned his head slowly.
"There was a lot of legacy in the Golden Age, and some of it was obtained by scanning the genes."
……
"A person at a stage when humanity has not yet been too heavily polluted by subspace, a person who can be called primitive and pure. Do you understand Makado, the kind of ancient human who is not a soulless, but whose psionic potential is also close to zero? ”
The scholar said with the results.
"And he's an ancient man!"
"It's unlikely, but it's true." The Emperor maintained a psychic exchange, "That Lord of Flame and Thunder, that young man, he is indeed a human, at least from the point of view of biological science, there is no doubt about it!" ”
Hearing this, Makado noticed that the emperor's current state was not normal.
The two looked at each other.
"But then again, the genes of the Eternals are still very close to the genes of primitive humans, after all, they are too old."
"But there's no need to talk about whether it's human genes or not, because even other people on Terra now, even mutant mutants, have their genes that belong to humans, but they are unique and exaggerated to the point where they can be named a branch of the human species."
"After the Eye of Fear opened, after the subspace storm raged, after so long of human contact with subspace, I can't believe that such a primitive human still exists."
"A stupid star god who has exposed himself!"
"You're a star god lurking around me!"
"We can cooperate, we can share the pressure, we can share the truth."
"We may not know why he exists, but at least we know that it's not for nothing that he perceives himself as human."
In Machado's eyes, the emperor stared, his nasolabial folds stretched out to the sides, and his facial expression seemed to be a smile, as if expressing horror and disbelief in sadness.
"But it's great."
