Chapter 961 Fatal Flaw at the Genetic Level!

Since it was discovered that the Turan people were divided into two classes: professional warriors and military nobles who belonged to the clan, and rat people who were expelled from the clan.

Meng Chao had been thinking about the difference between warriors and rat people.

Although he also came into contact with some Turan people in his previous life, at that time, he was just a pawn who couldn't help himself. He only wanted to gain strength, find his sister, and... survive.

In that kind of muddle-headed life, his biggest impression of the Turanians was nothing more than a group of well-developed, simple-minded idiots. When they charged together, they were quite suitable as human shields, but most of the time, they were There are not enough successes and more than failures.

In this world, having mastered a higher level of wisdom and power, he could observe and analyze the Turan civilization more calmly, and Meng Chao soon discovered more clues.

At first, he thought that rat people and warriors were distinguished by blood.

But he soon discovered that after thousands of years and hundreds of generations of mixed blood, the blood from the rat people in 99% of the rat people is already very thin.

Ye Zi couldn't see the slightest features of the Ratman at all, it was just a big boy with slightly thicker hair.

Moreover, mixed blood is not excluded between clans.

Through the "Blood Giving Ceremony", even the humblest rat people are eligible to join the clan and pass on their blood and characteristics.

Such customs and habits made many warriors and rat people look strange.

He was clearly a wild boar, but he had huge horns on his head.

He is obviously a mammoth man, except for his thick and long trunk, he has sharp claws similar to tigers and leopards.

The female leopard, Ice Storm, could join the Bloodhoof clan any minute if she wanted to.

Once she intermarries with a tauren, the offspring will naturally have the characteristics of a cat, but they are also considered tauren!

Meng Chao also learned from Ye Zi's mouth that the clan masters didn't care much about their offspring, and were even very harsh.

According to the rules of the Turan nobles, it is not a problem at all for warriors and rat people to mix together and give birth to dozens or even hundreds of illegitimate children.

However, these illegitimate children were not born with clan status.

You can only enjoy the treatment of ordinary rat people—at most "house rats".

Unless they can pass the clan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Otherwise, even if their father was the leader of the settlement, the priest of the temple, or even the chief of the clan, they would all live a disgraceful life as rat people.

And their chiefs, priests, and chieftain fathers never looked at them.

It sounds like it is purely based on strength, the difference between warriors and rat people.

However, what determines the difference in strength between the warrior and the rat people?

Meng Chao didn't believe the nonsense of "glorious bloodline" and "humble bloodline".

At first, he thought it was because clan warriors and military nobles could get enough food and cultivation resources since they were young.

The chances of becoming an extraordinary person for the children of the poor family in Longcheng are far lower than those of the children of the rich.

Is it because the children from poor families are born stupid, lazy, or even have genetic defects?

As the so-called "poor culture and rich military", this principle is the same in Turan civilization.

But just now, when Ye Zi and the others were driven all over the field by the house mouse servants of the Tinpi family, Meng Chao had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized the biggest difference between warriors and rat people!

The so-called high-level orcs are the product of genetic modulation.

This point is beyond doubt.

Natural evolution, it is absolutely impossible to evolve such a wonderful species of "humanoid carbon-based intelligent life forms" that carry the characteristics of lions, tigers, cheetahs, elephants and wild boars on the human body.

However, gene modulation is not easy.

Cross-species integration is not as easy as imagined.

Even if they are forcibly fused, they will often not be able to exert a strong combat power, and are just deformed and ugly waste.

——How many failures will it take to combine the ferocity of a lion with the sharpness of a falcon to create a new species called "Griffon"?

However, he wanted to carry the characteristics of griffins onto human beings, creating a "griffin man" with wings growing on his back, who could fly freely, fight fiercely on land, and possess the wisdom and logical thinking ability of ordinary people, but failed. The probability, I am afraid, will be magnified a hundred times.

Meng Chao didn't know who created the ancestors of the Turan people.

Just from the military buildings of the Turan civilization, and the super plant that a single species such as the mandala tree can support a civilization, the Turan ancestors originally created, the so-called "ancestors", all It is the crystallization of superior biochemical technology.

The original Lion Man, Tiger Man, Leopard Man, Tauren, Wild Boar Man and Elephant Man are all ultimate killing machines that have been honed and refined, with perfect compatibility of human organs and beast organs.

However, just like after tens of millions of years, the former splendid Turan civilization gradually declined, landslide and even degenerated into the clan era.

When the original "Ultimate Killing Machine" had been passed down for dozens of generations, after hundreds of generations, the uncertainty hidden deep in their genes finally broke out.

——Even if the most perfect and accurate "genetic blueprint" is copied and transcribed dozens or hundreds of times, it will gradually become blurred and even beyond recognition.

What's more, because of famine, war, marriage... various reasons, a large number of mixed-race children were born among different tribes and clans.

Every hybrid is equivalent to an uncontrolled gene fusion experiment.

According to Meng Chao's observations in the Wuyin Absolute Territory, 99% of the results of uncontrolled gene fusion in this wild environment are not very good.

The result of the interbreeding of Leopard Man and Brutal Elephant Man is not necessarily a super warrior with the agility of a cheetah and the brute force of a giant elephant.

It is more likely to give birth to a waste full of fat, unable to run, and whose strength is far inferior to that of a pure-blooded elephant man.

Such a waste possessed both the slender bones of the Leopard Man and the heavy flesh and blood of the Elephant Man. As long as it stood up, it was very likely to be crushed by its own weight.

The Turanians must have realized this problem during the gradual decline of civilization.

The way they deal with this problem is also very simple and rude.

Since there is a 99% probability that deformed and ugly monsters will be born, let's give birth to a hundred in one breath.

Anyway, there are plenty of datura fruits.

No matter how many students there are, they can make do with it.

At least for the clan lords, this is the case.

Therefore, clan lords often choose spouses from the same clan to give birth to several pure-blood descendants to ensure genetic stability.

Then, let yourself go, find all kinds of weird rat people or other clan members to have fun, and give birth to more weird descendants.

If luck is good, the descendants just inherit the advantages of both parents, and there is no problem of incompatibility. Such descendants will be absorbed into the clan through the coming-of-age ceremony.

The rest of the waste whose gene fusion failed were expelled from the clan and became rat people.

Yes, this is the truth!

Warriors and nobles are the lucky ones who have succeeded in gene modulation!

Rat people are the waste of failed gene modulation!

Meng Chao felt that this speculation was much more reliable than the so-called "Because he ran away on the battlefield and tarnished the prestige of the Turan warriors, so he was denigrated as a coward".

It is precisely because there is not much difference in the source of genes between warriors and rat people.

The extremely unstable gene pools of the Rat People are fused with each other, and there is a very small chance of avoiding all genetic defects and giving birth to powerful descendants.

Just like the product of consanguinity, it may cause intellectual and physical disabilities.

But it is also possible to give birth to a genius with superior intelligence.

Meng Chao felt that Ye Zi was such a genius.

It is the lucky one who finally succeeded after ninety-nine failed gene modulations.

He is perfectly free from all genetic defects, incompatibility and instability.

Much closer to how the Turanians were originally created.

And those rat servants of the Tinhide family...

No matter how the fox pretends to be the tiger, he is domineering.

They are also rat people.

There are also fatal genetic defects!

"They're too strong."

After quickly sorting out his thoughts in his mind and reconfirming his thoughts, Meng Chao said lightly, "These house mouse servants, following the example of their masters, each piled at least three to five hundred catties of flesh and blood on their bodies. A wild boar standing upright.

"Moreover, the Iron Skin family is known as the 'skin of steel'. If I'm not mistaken, the trace metal components in their bodies are far more than other families. These metal components gather on their skin in large quantities, which is equivalent to putting on a An indestructible layer of armor.

"While the defense power has been greatly improved, the burden on the body, especially the joints of the lower limbs, has also greatly increased.

"If it is through the coming-of-age ceremony or the blood-giving ceremony, of course there is no problem with the authentic members of the Iron Skin family. Their genes...their racial talents, as well as the golden fruit and totem beast flesh that they swallowed in large quantities, make them have strong enough joints, It is enough to carry hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties for an unstoppable charge.

"But these... born handicapped house mouse servants, hehe, don't have such strong joints and tough tendons, how dare they imitate their masters and pile muscles on their bodies without thinking?

"It's courting death!

"The more muscle you have, the faster you die!

"Leaf, spider, have you noticed just now? Although these house mouse servants are aggressive, once they increase their speed, they can smash through a wall of iron and steel, but they can only sprint in a straight line, and it is difficult to change directions in a small range And running at variable speeds, even after missing you, you have to run dozens of arms forward to slow down and stop?

"Also, when this farce was over, all the people on our side breathed evenly and did not change their expressions, but this gang of majestic guys who seemed to have the upper hand were all panting and sweating profusely. Your legs are starting to tremble slightly?"
