"Do you know the origin of us humans? Where did we come from? Ape evolution? Or were we created by aliens?"
"The earliest prokaryotes were born on earth 4.6 billion years ago. They slowly developed into eukaryotic single-celled organisms, then divided into single-celled plants and single-celled animals. Finally, multicellular plants and multicellular animals appeared. This is just a rough scientific speculation. , we are all transformed from an ordinary prokaryotic cell?"
"If we humans evolved over millions of years, what would we be like in the future?"
A series of questions followed one after another, triggering thoughts. Even the greatest scientists could not prove where human beings came from. This remains an unsolved mystery to this day!
Now in the year 2220, in this 23rd century, humans have developed the technology to immigrate to the planet, and some high-level elites live on Mars, which is the closest and most suitable place to the earth.
Country Z has taken the lead in the world, entered the largest country, and successfully surpassed the United States. Not only is its economy and trade number one in the world, but its weapons technology is also number one.
…
Boston, USA, is a beautiful and prosperous technology city. Buildings hundreds of meters high are everywhere, like a steel forest. Within a few hundred meters underground of the most famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology, many people in white coats are walking busy. , they are working hard to test a new scientific research, surrounded by mercenaries armed with high-tech weapons, walking around and patrolling coldly and mechanically, as if they are artificial intelligence without a trace of emotion. This is the United States' Level 1 security site - Laboratory 42.
…
"Today is an exciting time. Why do you say that? Because today... Dr. Edward's scientific research team will launch a scientific research exhibition. It is said that this genetic research is extraordinary. It can be said to be a big step forward in science and technology. We Can we surpass the giant dragon of country Z with this? Let's wait and see!" The camera turned.
"Hello, Dr. Edward, is this the scientific research discovery you want to show everyone?" At this time, a female reporter with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a pair of red square-framed glasses, held a microphone respectfully. , said with a calm expression.
In front of him is a foreigner wearing a white coat. He is sitting on a white floating chair, while the photographer behind him is taking photos quietly, with a serious expression on his face, surrounded by silvery white. The alloy wall had many bodyguards and scientific research staff standing behind it, waiting for this person to speak.
The foreigner in a white coat has white hair, a thick beard, a straight nose, a pair of brown glasses, greasy and messy hair, and dark circles under his eyes that often stay up late. There is also an unpleasant odor upon smell.
Even so, this reporter didn't have the slightest dislike for the old man in front of him. Instead, he had great respect for him.
It turns out that this is the greatest doctor of human genetic engineering in the 23rd century - James Edward!
"Yes, this is the latest achievement of our scientific research team." The white-haired old man looked excited and pressed the remote control in his hand tremblingly. The holographic screen behind him suddenly lit up, and the camera turned there.
…
A sapphire blue picture popped up in the air, and then a cute girl jumped out of the holographic screen. She waved her little hands happily and greeted everyone. An electronic eye sounded: "Hello everyone, my name is Annie, a high-intelligence program. Next is this experiment. report content and video.”
The picture jumps clearly, "Everyone, please look, this is the T-307 experiment." The sloppy Dr. Edward is still on the video screen. He is seen standing in front of a console while glancing at the display on the console. , while skillfully operating the remote sensing controller, the blue-ray holographic screen displayed the data and energy trends at that time.
The picture shows a white and clean sterile warehouse. In the cabin, many instruments are working in sequence. A slender mechanical gripper first picks up a test tube, which contains a light blue liquid.
After that, he sucked it up with a straw. A pair of mechanical forceps lifted up another test tube containing dark green and slowly dripped it down. Dr. Edward controlled the mechanical forceps to put the test tube into the fusion machine aside. The machine rotated rapidly. Edward paused and slowly raised his head, his eyes showing excitement.
Dr. Edward pointed to the camera and said: "The genome sequence program is being started, and this is a virus that promotes accelerated gene fusion. As for what virus it is, we cannot disclose it without authorization. The next step is to genetically recombine the experimental organisms. I believe most people are not unfamiliar with genetic recombination, after all, it is now common knowledge."
Viruses do not have the ability to replicate themselves; they multiply by infecting biological cells. They integrate their own DAN and finally replicate it multiple times in the host's cell DAN. Then the parasitized biological cell will add the virus's base sequence, and its mutation will be inherited by the daughter cells during cell division, so the genome will also change. Change.
After the fusion and acceleration of the virus, the organism can be reorganized and sequenced multiple times, and finally become a more powerful spirochete. If it fails, it will be a genetic mutation, and vice versa, it will be a successful evolution!
"Then I will briefly explain what genetic recombination is. Genetic recombination is to disrupt or change certain genetic viruses or DNA in the human body, such as AIDS, which can be inherited. Why?"
"It is because AIDS changes part of the gene that the DNA of the next generation of children will automatically produce AIDS cells, although now we have basically mastered the technology of genetic recombination."
"But my genetic recombination, I believe many people know about it, but it is out of reach, that is recombinant genes - changing the genetic code, not to mention humans, as long as the creatures on the earth have their own unique DNA, but humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes , there are about 20,000-25,000 genes on each chromosome, so on average a DNA has about 1,000 genes." Dr. Edward pursed his dry lips and took a sip of water from the thermos cup next to him.
He continued: "Genes support the basic structure and performance of life. They store all information about life's race, blood type, pregnancy, growth, apoptosis and other processes."
"The interdependence of environment and genetics plays out important physiological processes such as the reproduction of life, cell division and protein synthesis. All life phenomena such as the growth, growth, decline, disease, old age and death of organisms are related to genes. It is also the determinant Intrinsic factors of life and health.”
"So human DNA is like USB flash drives, but these USB flash drives are burning various human genes. Every genetic error will cause major changes, but next I want to change the genetic code of the special X chromosome. "
After finishing speaking, Dr. Edward in the picture clicked a button, and a door slowly opened on one wall of the sterile room. A thick alloy plate came out of the door, with a chimpanzee struggling wantonly on it. The metal The iron rings firmly fixed its limbs, and it could only grin and howl.
"Okay, everyone knows that the basic genetic similarity between chimpanzees and humans is 94.3%. Now let's use this chimpanzee Ruth as an experiment. Don't worry, we have tested it hundreds of times and there will definitely be no harm to Ruth. "After that, Xiao An manipulated the instrument arm to inject a sedative into the chimpanzee Ruth.
Ruth's eyelids were as heavy as lead, and she finally fell asleep slowly. "Okay, now that Ruth is asleep, it's time to perform laser surgery on her."
As soon as she finished speaking, a laser cutter hung above Ruth's head, and five shadowless lights turned on. "Xiao An, you are still responsible for this surgery." Dr. Edward said with a smile.
"Okay doctor." After saying that, he started to activate the laser cutter, and the end section emitted high-temperature particles. The hard skull was as fragile as tofu, and the craniotomy was very successful.
Dr. Edward, who was outside the sterile room, was explaining to the camera while referring to the data at the time.
"Look, this is the hippocampus of Ruth's brain. The development is not perfect. The white area shown by Xiao An now is the development area, and the black areas are areas that Ruth has not developed. The development only reaches 2% of the entire brain, so other Children with only a few years of wisdom can learn to use simple tools." Dr. Edward said with a smile.
At this moment, an unknown machine protruded from the ceiling above Ruth's head. It was about 3 meters long. It looked like a length of bamboo from a distance. It was dark blue with a little red light, as if the stars were shining in the deep universe, under the transparent glass. , you can see many wires connected to it, and there is a very small extending triangular bracket at the front end.
In the middle circular glass cover, there is an unknown red crystal about the size of a fist. Its function is to break up the sequence of genetic particles. However, the earth does not have this kind of crystal. It was brought by meteorites from outer space and has incredible powers. ability.
At the very end is an extremely small lens. Most people on the scene know that this lens is a quantum optical lens, known as the smallest lens in the world.
"Now that Xiao An has cut open Ruth's brain, we will use special particles to sequence the genes. I call this wave of light a plasma beam." With that said, Edward pressed the button without any hesitation. The machine quickly displayed a red beam of light, which was accurately mapped on Ruth's brain, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it did not have any super destructive power.
As time goes by, the time in the video skips half an hour. The white value on the hippocampus display chart of Ruth's brain increases from 2% to 5%, and it is still rising in a straight line. These indicators and trend charts can be clearly viewed. Photographer captured it.
Some of the scientific researchers behind them looked excited, beaming and dancing like some carefree children, and whispered that their efforts over the past few months had not been in vain, and it was an honor for them to work with Dr. Edward!
Dr. Edward then poured the fused virus into Ruth's brain and ordered Xiao An to start suturing the brain.
After the suturing was completed, the chimpanzee Ruth gradually became conscious. She moved her fingers and slowly opened her eyes. If you were next to Ruth at that time, you would be surprised to find that her originally opened eyes were as ruby-like. It was bright, but it was slowly fading away, turning into the original black pupils.
…
"Now that everyone has seen my research results, are you particularly surprised? Ruth's brain is now as smart as a teenager's, and there is no need to make her smaller."
"We have spent a month looking for 50,000 volunteers from around the world. They come from different countries, different regions, have different appearances, and different blood types, but they are laying the ladder for future science. Thank you for their efforts. Dedication!"
"Everyone knows that chimpanzee genes are very similar to human genes, so the next test will be on humans, and we will release a report on Christmas Eve." Dr. Edward continued.
After the video was played, Dr. Edward answered a few more questions and opinions to the female reporter. It was obvious that the experiment was successful, and Dr. Edward and others were very happy.
"Okay, that's it for this report. Congratulations to Dr. Edward for laying a solid foundation for future genetics." The blonde female reporter was in awe of Dr. Edward, and then she and the photographer left the laboratory.
