Chapter 683 Butterfly
The civilization of the Dragon Clan can be traced back to thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. If you really want to dig into the origin, you will probably find that before the birth of the most ancient civilization of mankind, or even before the emergence of the tribe, the prototype of civilization, they It existed, and with the power of changing the world, it survived the disasters in ancient times.
Later, when humans were born and history can be traced, they appeared as absolute powers. Archaeologists can always find so-called "miracles" in the documents of various dynasties and eras.
Many people in later generations only thought that they were rumors left by the emperor's power, but the truth was nothing more than lies about winning over and the divine right of kings.
Only a few people really know the truth about those so-called "miracles" - raging floods, the splitting of the Red Sea, patching up the sky and shooting the sun, ten disasters and so on. Behind the stories that touch on the supreme power, it is all inexplicable. The existence rebuked and mobilized one inexplicably powerful spirit spirit after another to create traces of "gods" walking in the world.
The word spirit is God's most proud power, and the hybrids who control the word spirit naturally have the qualifications to usurp the throne with God.
So far, a large number of magical words and spirits have been discovered and recorded by today's hybrids. The hybrids use the red-rusted shadows left on the mottled murals by the four kings of wind, fire, earth, and water, as well as " A large amount of dragon history and alchemy are analyzed based on the basic elements on the "Ice Sea Bronze Pillar", and a large number of words and spirits are recorded.
In 1972, the "Periodic Table of Word Spirits" was initially completed. Based on the characteristics and evolution of the five elements (spirits), 118 kinds of word spirits were calculated, which was considered a major breakthrough for the hybrid race in dragon culture. The hybrid race officially revealed the hidden secrets of dragons. The figure in the history as thick as a sea of sand outlines a clear outline.
They reveled and excited, turned their attention to controlling the entire human world, controlling the world's economic lifeline, running for president, prime minister, and finally extended the butcher knife to dragons. Their huge desires occupied their minds, and they only relied on "word spirits" They almost control the entire world with their own power, so what about "alchemy" that is more profound than the spirit of words? What about the genes of the dragon itself?
They intend to truly control all of their civilization and knowledge.
Therefore, the battle and mission of slaying the dragon originated from greed.
At first, the process of slaying the dragon was smooth, extremely smooth. Even when the dragons encountered an organized and disciplined hybrid army for the first time, they still drank in hatred under their intimidation and cold-blooded suppression - there was no chance of negotiation, no possibility of communication, They just want fresh dragon samples, pull out the muscles and bones, slice them into pieces and put them under the microscope to learn the unknown knowledge inch by inch.
The emergence of "Ling Ling Xue" was the beginning of an era. It was an era when mixed races were making great progress, and they almost regarded themselves as the masters of the entire world.
Human greed is insatiable, especially for hybrids.
When the hybrid's desire for power reaches its peak, naturally the desire for the power of the Word Spirit reaches a peak as well. They want a more powerful Word Spirit! Want to get more power!
They know the secret of how dragons can rule one era after another. Those beings who control the wind and rain have touched the essence of the world, and the essential secret is also obvious.
The power of words and spirits.
High-level word spirits are not necessarily invincible to low-level word spirits, but high-level word spirits are no longer limited to forms and can directly control the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and spirit. The world is composed of elements.
And controlling the elements naturally means controlling the "rules" of this world.
They want to control all the rules, and they want to completely pull the dragon clan down from the top of the evolutionary tree and sit on it themselves - they want to crack the secret of Yanling.
So someone came up with a crucial idea.
If the language spirit comes from human blood, the chanting and chanting of the language spirit is just using the blood as a fulcrum to leverage the rules and produce an effect similar to a chemical reaction - then does this mean that if they can decipher the blood, that is, the genetic Password, they can freely deprive and give any "word spirit" to an individual?
Whether it is dangerous word spirits numbered 89 to 100, high-risk word spirits 101 to 112, or even god-level word spirits higher up, as long as they decipher the secrets of genes, they can freely bestow and deprive an individual of their abilities. "Power", load "power" into any new individual they want to load!
It was an era in which everyone could possess a god-level spirit of speech, an era of great leap forward with the spirit of speech as the basic productivity.
This idea caused a huge sensation at the time. Countless underground laboratories began to be established, and a large number of scientists were recruited. If they could not be recruited, they were kidnapped, lured, and used every possible means.
Different from the nuclear deterrent Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the context of that era, a new and significant arms race from the hybrid era quietly began.
In the human world, nuclear weapons serve as the fulcrum of the Cold War, but in the hybrid world, the fulcrum that affects the balance of the world is not a physical object, but a technology.
【Gene editing technology】
Humanity's code book was opened, and the hybrids began to try to hold God's scalpel.
As we all know, the sign of the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was Armstrong's moon landing, which represented the United States' victory in this competition for national power. However, until the day the Cold War ended, the hybrid war had not yet ended.
Because the competition in genetic technology did not produce a breakthrough result until the day of the moon landing, it was like calculating multi-dimensional partial differential equations manually, and the speed of advancement was extremely difficult and unparalleled.
But gradually, under this huge resistance, the mixed-race people also began to discover that this technology had the most difficult problem to crack - the blood and genes of their ethnic group were incomplete.
In the gene chain of hybrids, dragon genes and human genes are mixed together and cannot be separated at all. If you want to load new gene fragments, you must cut out the old gene fragments, and they can blend together like water and milk. In the huge gene chain, this step directly stuck everyone for decades.
The genes of hybrids cannot be dismantled and changed at will, and the amount of cells that can be modified in an adult is too huge, and mutations occur every minute and every second. To modify all genes is a thousand times more difficult. The huge project of the birth of the pyramid is almost impossible.
But there is always no shortage of smart people among mixed races. If one path doesn't work, then try another path. So at this time, someone quickly came up with new ideas.
"What if we start gene editing from baby embryos? At that time, the number of genes will be relatively small and easy to cut, right?"
That is the whisper of the devil, a thought that is enough to be damned. If an individual is genetically edited from the embryo, and the original cells are uniformly modified, and the desired gene fragments are injected, will it be like people get what they want when they grow up? To take control of the powers given to him before he was born?
Edit humans, create humans.
The hybrids at that time thought about it, then nodded and said: It's worth a try.
Without much debate on ethics, the baby editing experiment that destroyed humanity and lost morals began naturally. Ironically, this experiment had a beautiful code name at the time: "Butterfly."
Break out of the cocoon and be reborn.
Under the temptation of absolute power, the so-called human nature is probably just a thing in the back of the mind. As long as the baby who can control the secret of speech and spirit and decipher the blood code is born, it means that they will have countless puppets. The idea can be instilled in them from childhood that dead warriors and warriors possessing the power of multiple words and spirits will stir up heaven-shaking power and sweep across the entire world.
It was a wave, a wave that annihilated humanity.
Everyone's eyes turned red in front of that beautiful vision of the future. A large amount of social resources were invested. Countless poor women "volunteered" to become the womb of "butterflies" emerging from their cocoons. Scientists worked day and night to decipher the most difficult code in the world. ——Human body’s genes.
They want to treat the genome as a genetic code filled with millions of words, using gene editing technology as an effective tool for inserting, deleting characters, and even changing single words.
As a result, a large number of hybrids with high-ranking word spirits were summoned, and countless genetic fragments carrying "word spirits" were intercepted and circulated in the black market as goods more precious than gold.
'Bloodline Knot', 'Time Zero', and 'Snake' were sold at high prices as the best-selling gene fragments - the former can independently search for more potential hybrids, and the latter can be relied upon to seize the gene fragments by force. The latter is used as a means of hacking into the information database of hostile forces to steal intelligence and technology.
'Jun Yan', 'Lei Chi', 'Wortex', etc., as the second echelon of dangerous speaking spirits, were sold for sky-high prices. One underground auction house after another began to be built, and all participants were ambitious hybrid organizations. , assassinations and political conspiracies started and ended one after another.
During that time, before gene editing technology was truly perfected, the competition for gene fragments had become a race for nuclear reserves. No one wanted to have insufficient gene fragments in their hands when the first "butterfly" emerged from the cocoon. To support them in giving birth to real human weapons and artificial kings.
But the piles of stillborn fetuses cut out of the mother's abdomen piled up one after another, and excavators were needed to shovel into the incineration pits. The countless wailings on the operating table were enough to make people numb and disgusted. The serious lack of social resources led to the regression of the times. At that time, people finally gradually understood.
Gene editing also seems to be a dead end?
Not to mention the immaturity of the gene editing technology itself at that time, humans had only a limited understanding of genes, not to mention the addition of dragons to this topic.
Later, this factor also directly led to the direct death of all gene-edited babies who were grafted with dangerous or even high-ranking spiritual spirits. They died in the womb together with their mothers who had dystocia, or they had a one-in-ten thousand chance of being born by caesarean section. Later, he turned into a weak, deformed monster with scales and died in the first month of life.
As for the reason for the failure, no one knows, but they still gave up. As for how many costs and lives they sacrificed in order to give up, no one knows.
So they examined themselves.
The method of introspection is also very simple. Burn everything underground, including laboratories, stillborn fetuses, and insiders. Then continue to move forward.
Everything behind him was buried in the darkness of history and turned into ashes.
"Gene editing technology is reasonable and feasible, but the reason for its failure lies only in humans themselves - the weak human genes have become an insurmountable barrier, and the dragon genes are bound in a cage and roaring. Perhaps only by truly transcending all Only the powerful uterus of a mammal creature can give birth to that ultimate life!"
These are the concluding words that brought the Cold War to an end.
As for whose mouth it came from, no one knows.
The era of "Project Butterfly" has come to an end since then. Countless genetic fragments with words and spirits have been refrigerated, buried underground, or burned in furnaces. The stillborn babies were turned into coke and ashes in the flames, which is incomparable with that era. desire disappears together.
Nothing remains in the fire of human desire.
After the fire burned the land, there was only a white blanket of ashes.
Like the rotation of wind, fire, earth, and water, this seems to be the simplest rule in the world. Everything rises and then destroys due to greed.
In the violent carnival, nothing will be gained, nothing will be born, and everything you look at is wasteland.
That's the way it should be, that's the way it should be.
Yes, that's how it should be.
That's how it should be.
ps: It’s too late to watch the finals. besides.
