Chapter 542 Gene Injection, a Terrible Way to Annex Civilization

"Among the fossils retrieved from the Namba Fissure Cave, we found a fossil egg, from which we obtained a gene fragment of a thorn-spine predator..."

Lu Xiuwen continued to explain the latest findings of the Institute of Biology of the Academy of Military Sciences: "Through genetic tracing, we found that the predators were once an independent civilization millions of years ago.

"By comparing the genes of multiple predator species such as spine predators and sky predators, we found that there are genetic differences between the predator species and other star beasts.

"Not only that, through genetic tracing, we found that there was a genetic mutation in the spiny-spine predator several million years ago.

"After conducting a genetic comparison, we found that the genetic mutation of the thorn-spine predator was not accidental, but was caused by some means.

"The research team of the Institute of Biology generally believes that this should be the way the star beast civilization annexed the predator civilization, that is, genetic injection.

"The injected gene is the part that receives the order of the brain beast. This part of the gene has continued with the reproduction of the predator, making the predator civilization a part of the star beast civilization.

"According to this new discovery, it can be speculated that if human beings are defeated, a genetic gene will be injected by the star beast civilization, and the descendants of human beings will become part of the star beast civilization."

Hearing this inference from the Institute of Biology, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little shocked in their hearts.

This is the first time I have heard of a civilization that can annex other civilizations.

This is very different from the human situation.

Human civilization only includes human beings, and other creatures on the earth are not part of civilization.

Of course, humans are protecting some endangered species, but the extinction of these endangered species will not affect the progress of human civilization.

Star beast civilization is different.

The Star Beast civilization includes many kinds of creatures, such as Rift Hydralisks, Plasma Worms, and Spiky Spine Predators.

Moreover, the star beast civilization also has the ability to annex other civilizations, and even wants to annex humans.

before that.

Fang Yuan felt that the development of star beast civilization was very slow, because they could not have a technological explosion.

However, the star beast civilization has another way of civilization leap, which is to annex other civilizations.

What would happen if the star beast civilization swallowed up human civilization?

The result may be that the star beast civilization will take a leap of civilization through the mastery of technology by humans.

From this point of view, the evolution of star beast civilization may not be worse than that of technological civilization.

As long as the star beast civilization can get in touch with enough civilizations and annex them one by one, it's hard to imagine what it will develop into.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Fang Yuan's mind, and he suddenly thought of a terrible guess, stood up and said: "I have a terrible guess, if the star beast civilization has the ability to inject genes, is it possible that among human beings, there is already a Individuals injected with genes from the Star Beast Civilization."

As soon as the words came out.

There was a heated discussion in the venue.

"That said, there is indeed such a possibility. According to previous speculation, the civilization level of the star beast civilization is between 1.1 and 1.2, which is higher than our civilization level."

A military staff officer agreed: "It has been 60 years since the star beasts appeared. In theory, the star beast civilization should launch wars faster. It was far easier to kill us 60 years ago than it is now. Much more."

"It's true. Sixty years ago, there were no awakened warriors among human beings. They fought entirely with thermal weapons, which was much weaker than it is now. Technology is not as advanced as it is now, but the star beast civilization did not launch wars at that time.

That's pretty telling. ’ another person echoed.

Fang Yuan took over the conversation and said: "I think so, the reason why the star beast civilization has not launched a war is because they want to use the method of genetic injection to annex us in a subtle way.

"In other words, there are likely to be humans who have been injected with special genes by the star beast civilization among humans, and in sixty years, these people may have reproduced for two or three generations, and may have formed a scale."

After this kind of guessing, everyone felt a hairy feeling in the bottom of their hearts.

If this conjecture is true, it means that among human beings, there may already be hidden "species" of star beast civilization.

It is indeed more appropriate to use the word "species", because these human beings injected with genetic genes by the star beast civilization are actually different from ordinary human beings, and can be regarded as another species.

Some people objected: "This kind of speculation may not really exist. So far, no traitors have been found among humans."

"Maybe it's just that the star beast civilization didn't activate the special genes in these human bodies, so they didn't show any abnormalities. Once these special genes are activated, then these humans will inevitably be controlled by the star beast civilization and become traitors among humans!" A general The senior officer took the lead and spoke, his tone slightly excited.

the end of the meeting.

After discussing with the theater headquarters and the staff, they decided on the tasks for the next period of time.

That is to secretly investigate possible abnormal gene carriers among humans.

If this conjecture is true, then human beings are really in danger.

Because no one knows who these human beings with abnormal genes are and what they do.

After the meeting.

Fang Yuan walked out while thinking, Han Youwei followed behind, wanted to speak, but resisted not speaking.

Lu Xiuwen took two quick steps to follow, and said: "Fang Yuan, your guess just now is horrifying, but I have to say, there is indeed such a possibility, let's find a place to talk, can we?"

"Okay, I also have some questions that I need the professor to help answer.

So, the two found another small conference room to sit down and discuss.

In addition to the two, two senior researchers from the Institute of Biology of the Academy of Military Sciences, and Han Youwei also participated.

"Professor Lu, I have a question, how is the genetic injection of star beast civilization done?" Fang Yuan asked.

"This is still uncertain, but in terms of difficulty, injecting genes into fertilized eggs is the easiest. Of course, it is also possible to inject genes into adults and then pass them on from generation to generation."

Lu Xiuwen paused, and then added: "However, these are all speculations. The information we know so far is too little. This abnormal gene has not been found in humans, so everything is just speculation."

Fang Yuan nodded, and continued: "Then, Professor Lu believes that there is no reproductive isolation between humans with abnormal genes and normal humans, right?"

"This should be affirmative. If there is reproductive isolation, it will be difficult for the star beast civilization to annex human civilization in this way. Only when abnormal genes can spread indefinitely can the result of annexing civilization be achieved." Lu Xiuwen replied. .
