Chapter 34 In the Name of Science

"Hou Yi, look at this. As soon as everyone returned to the embassy, Ambassador Yang hurriedly greeted him and handed Hou Yi a few pieces of hard paper.

"What is this?" Feng Congsheng was by Hou Yi's side, and at a glance he saw the long and round inexplicable pattern on the paper, and he really couldn't understand it.

"It's like a genetic map. Hou Yi raised his eyes suspiciously, "Ambassador Yang, I have to trouble you to explain these things, I don't know anything about genes." ”

"This is the genogram of a disciple of Shushan, it was sent at noon today, you come and see ......" Ambassador Yang took the drawing from Hou Yi's hand and put it on the desk, and everyone gathered around.

"This is a research achievement that will go down in history forever!" said Ambassador Yang's voice with irrepressible excitement.

"Everybody has twenty-three pairs of chromosomes – of course, I'm talking about ordinary people, and there have been scientists who have speculated that if someone mutates to produce twenty-four pairs of chromosomes, then he can become superhuman. ”

"I've heard of that. Hou Yi nodded, he probably understood a little bit of the content on the drawing. And Feng Congsheng is completely blind to this cutting-edge scientific term.

"These five people......" Ambassador Yang pointed to the atlas on the table, "each of them has more than twenty-three pairs of chromosomes!"

"Oh?" Hou Yi picked up the top drawing and looked at the number in the upper right corner, 001.

"The picture you have has thirty pairs of chromosomes. ”

"What?thirty?" Hou Yi was taken aback, he originally thought that the reason why cultivators possessed supernatural powers was that they had mutated the twenty-fourth pair of chromosomes through cultivation, but he didn't expect Ambassador Yang to say such a terrifying number as thirty.

"These two are twenty-nine pairs...... These two are twenty-eight pairs of ......" Ambassador Yang pointed out to Hou Yi one by one the numbers on the drawing.

"Is there a gap?" After being shocked, Hou Yi thought of such a question.

"Ambassador Yang, please help me answer the phone call from China, I would like to ask about the specific situation. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute. ”

......

Two minutes later, a top-secret line connected Rome with Beijing.

"I'm Hou Yi......" As soon as he said half a sentence, Hou Yi heard a rough voice on the other end of the phone: "Pingyi, you kid is finally willing to come out!"

"Senior Brother Pingjiao......" Hou Yi immediately heard the owner of this voice.

"Hey, it's me, I'm going to use this phone too. Pingjiao was elated. Hou Yi can already imagine the scene where the person who was supposed to answer the call was forcibly squeezed away by him.

"After going down the mountain for a few days, senior brother is still used to it, right?" Of course, Hou Yi inevitably wanted to say a few words of greeting.

"Yes, yes, I like this world a lot, there are all kinds of strange things, but I have tubes on my body all day long, and I feel a little uncomfortable tying wires. "Ping Jiao seems to have adapted to the life of modern society, and the adaptability of cultivators is really stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Hehe......" Of course, Hou Yi can imagine the treatment of Pingjiao and other Shushan disciples in Beijing, under the hands of those scientists, I am afraid that there will be countless various experiments waiting for them.

"By the way, what's the matter with your call?" Ping Jiao grinned a few words, remembering the matter, he had no intention of handing the microphone to others at all, it seems that he is very happy to be this volunteer operator.

"You should all have numbers in the research institute, right?" Hou Yi asked tentatively, he didn't know if Ping Jiao had ever cared about this.

"Are you talking about those weird numbers, called Arabic numerals or something?" Ping Jiao didn't pause at all, and immediately replied, "Yes, every junior brother has it, I am 001, and Pingsheng is 002......"

"What, you are 001?" Hou Yi exclaimed in surprise, 001's genogram was pinched in his hand, this was a monster with thirty pairs of chromosomes, but he didn't expect it to be Pingjiao.

"What's the problem?" Ping Jiao wondered.

"No, senior brother, please continue, who are 002 to 005?" Hou Yi calmed down and said as calmly as possible.

"002 is a flat victory, 003 is a flat feather ......" Ping Jiao's memory is good, and he memorized the numbers of the other four people.

......

After talking to Ping Jiao who was in Beijing, Hou Yi fell into deep thought, Ping Jiao had just crossed the threshold of the merger period, and Ping Sheng and Ping Yu were both distracted periods, and the two disciples of 003 and 004 were still only out of body periods. As soon as he knew about this situation, Hou Yi probably understood the problems illustrated by these five pictures.

From the out-of-body period to the distraction period, and then to the merger period, the cultivation is increasing layer by layer, and the number of chromosomes is also increasing in pairs. Then if you extrapolate it further, there should be thirty-one pairs of chromosomes in the tribulation period above the merger period, and after the tribulation becomes an immortal, I don't know how many there are.

In the same way, it can also be inferred that the two layers of cultivation below the out-of-body period should have 27 pairs and 26 pairs of chromosomes respectively. The heartbeat period, which represents the success of foundation building, should be twenty-five pairs. In this way, any cultivator who has reached the heartbeat stage is much more powerful than the superman with twenty-four pairs of chromosomes that scientists expected.

And for each additional pair of chromosomes, the increase in strength is definitely not simply one plus one equals two, which will be a geometric multiplier. Just like the merger period and the distraction period, although there is only one layer of cultivation difference, the amount of true yuan power is enough to be described as a world of difference.

Science and cultivation are thus connected by a term in genetics -- chromosomes.

In scientific terms, cultivation is the process of gradually increasing the number of chromosomes by cultivating various techniques that stimulate mutation in the body. The limit of the number of chromosomes should be the thirty-one pairs of chromosomes during the tribulation period, when more than thirty-one pairs of chromosomes, the body can no longer bear such a huge force, so it needs to go through the tribulation, use the thunder to transform the body, this becomes an immortal, and ascends to the immortal world.

Probably straightening out the problems caused by the genogram, Hou Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This is a theoretical basis, which provides a way for modern people to understand the mystical matter of cultivating truth, and perhaps, it will be of great help to promote the practice of immortal refining in Europe and the United States. Especially in the United States, these people always like to explain everything in a scientific way.

"I don't know how many pairs of chromosomes there are for an alien cultivator like Lao Feng, as well as Gais, a hybrid of a werewolf and a vampire, I'm afraid that the internal structure of the body is even more peculiar. Hou Yi looked at Feng Congsheng and Gais, and thought with emotion.

Try to use more popular language to follow the trend and explain the problem about chromosomes, although the concept is still a little vague, but the three still basically understand a general idea.

"After the transformation, I think our bodies are relatively close to human beings, and we are both in the cultivation period of the merger period, and my strength is similar to that of human cultivators, so it is estimated that there will not be much difference in the structure of the body. Feng Congsheng thought about it for a moment and put forward his own thoughts.

"Brother Yi, then if you open the eye of reincarnation, how many pairs of chromosomes will there be?" Qiong Lian's question suddenly made Hou Yi stunned, he hadn't thought about himself yet, because he was also a human being, so he subconsciously thought that he and Pingjiao should be the same. Judging from the strength of the eye of reincarnation after opening, even compared to the immortals, I am afraid that it will not be much different, and inferring from the conclusion just reached, I am afraid that the number of chromosomes will not be less than thirty-two pairs.

"Who knows, I'll check it out when I have time. "Hou Yi doesn't think about it so much now, anyway, he must be a monster now, and there is no point in quantifying it with numbers.

After talking to Ambassador Yang about the Vatican and filtering out some incomprehensible details, Ambassador Yang was skeptical about convincing the Holy See to cooperate. Having worked in Rome for so many years, he has long had a deep understanding of the stubbornness of the Vatican Holy See.

"It's better to prepare with both hands, you can't hope that the people of the Holy See will suddenly open up, now there are only more than two months, and you can't afford to spend it with them. ”

"I understand that. Hou Yi agreed with Ambassador Yang's words, judging from Cardinal Tren's performance today, it is simply a fool's dream to get them to cooperate with the "infidels" of the world, and even persuade them to abandon the stupid idea of God's annihilation.

Coming out of the embassy, Hou Yi and the four of them took Zhang Liuzi to the hotel room that had already been booked. Closing the door, Zhang Liuzi immediately took out various professional instruments and searched every corner of the room to see if there were any bugs or anything like that.

"No need to look for it, no bugging. Hou Yi sat comfortably on the sofa and said to Zhang Liuzi, "Liuzi, you have reached the enlightenment period, you should try to observe the world with your divine sense." ”

"Master, I won't. "Zhang Liuzi is very direct.

"Here's to you. Hou Yi took out a small piece of jade slip from the mustard bracelet and threw it to Zhang Liuzi, "You can use it by transporting the true yuan power." ”

"Oh?" Suspiciously following Hou Yi's words, Zhang Liuzi was suddenly shocked by what the jade slip contained. In this jade slip, which is more than two inches long and two fingers wide, it actually contains a vast sea of various spells and spells.

"Is this a computer hard drive?" Zhang Liuzi muttered.

"This jade slip can be much larger than the capacity of a hard disk of the same size, the higher the user's cultivation, the more information can be engraved into it, correspondingly, the higher the cultivation level of the person will be able to see more things from it. Hou Yi smiled, "You can think of it as a smart hard drive." ”

"No, Master, why can I only see a little bit of specific things, and only one name for the rest?!" Zhang Liuzi suddenly shouted.

"Hehe, I've already said that the higher the skill, the more things can be seen, and you are only in the light period, of course, you can only see the most basic. ”

"That's it......" Zhang Liuzi was suddenly a little deflated, he was now like a child standing in front of a huge toy shelf, but because he was small, he could only get the toys on the lowest floor, and the toys on the higher shelves could only be stared at.

"Sixth son, in fact, you should be happy, it only took one night to practice to the opening period, I haven't heard of anyone faster than you, as long as you don't slack off, you will soon be able to inspect all the things in this jade slip." Qiong Lian smiled and comforted Zhang Liuzi, and her words made Zhang Liuzi regain his spirits.

"Also, Sixth Son, although you are calling me Master, but I didn't accept you as an apprentice, if you can't cultivate to the heartbeat period within a month, I'm afraid Shushan has no fate with you. Hou Yi reminded Zhang Liuzi again.

"Understand, with my qualifications as Zhang Liuzi, this is just a piece of cake, Master, you just wait to accept me into Shushan. Zhang Liuzi was not modest at all, he already knew that Hou Yi was from Shushan, and he had long been secretly glad that he was so lucky that he had taken such a task, and thanked Ambassador Yang for giving him the task thousands of times in his heart.

"Someone's coming," Gace, who was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, "it's last night's werewolf." ”

"Hector? He must have sent an invitation. Hou Yi straightened his collar, "Tony asked him to deliver, it seems that we can meet the people of the Kaimeng family tonight." ”
