Chapter 202 The Selfish Gene

"Could there be another consciousness lurking in our genes?" He suddenly had this chilling thought.

Bai Mo remembered that he had read such a book, which used anthropomorphic techniques to treat genes as a selfish existence with independent consciousness.

According to it, a large number of human activities, including the persistence in continuing the family line and the natural closeness to blood relatives, are essentially the infinite pursuit of self-replication hidden deep within genes.

Living things are just carriers of genes, and most of the so-called desires are actually driven by genes. When he saw such a view at the time, he just laughed it off, but now when he thinks about it, it is a bit creepy, because before, inside the cells The uniform decomposition of DNA is too neat and gratuitous.

However, no matter how many times Bai Mo conducted experiments related to DNA extraction using cell samples from other organisms and even other people, there was never a similar collapse. It was as if he was just a special case and all conjectures were just conjectures that could not be proven.

Regarding this kind of issue that was clearly beyond his ability and had serious conspiratorial overtones, he decided to put it aside for now and wait until he had stronger power and more effective methods of inquiry in the future to deal with it.

"And the path I took seems a bit uneconomical. The spiritual diagrams I collected so hard can only be used as fuel for the birth of new bodies, and all currently developed spiritual techniques are based on the human body. This step of mine , maybe it’s too big.”

There are gains and losses. This experiment broke the shackles that restricted him from getting stronger, but his advanced evolution also led to excessive outliers. All the information on the entire contribution point system was basically all about Bai Mo's new skills. The body has lost its reference meaning, and all explorations have to be done from scratch step by step.

No one understands what the original substance is, and it is impossible for him to take himself to be sliced ​​by others. Although the thinking and calculation speed of the new body have made another leap forward after the breakthrough, the research work has suddenly changed from that of countless people. The collective efforts have turned into one person's solo path, and the overall exploration speed has obviously slowed down.

"Since both this body and other external substances can be assimilated into the original substance, there is no need for me to eat my own body first, even if it can be assimilated to become stronger faster."

From then on, through his active control, the original substance no longer assimilates the surrounding internal structures, but slowly swallows the excess water in the body and the inhaled spiritual energy to strengthen itself.

Bai Mo carefully maintained the integrity of his body because he was not sure whether the path he was taking was right or wrong. Just in case, someone might find a new way to evolve without destroying the spiritual hub structure in the future. There is an original version. body, there is the possibility of a comeback.

Lingshu still has too many secrets to discover. This time it was just an accident that allowed him to "cultivate" the "Yuan Shen" and be able to survive without the body.

He never believed that there was only one way. He also learned from the old man in Tianxuan Continent that even a cultivation system as mature as theirs had five paths to immortality, including heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts. The initial power system should be more A hundred schools of thought contend.

In New Ziluohai, seven people representing the highest authority of the entire federation began their daily meetings.

In the past nearly a year, with the support of the entire Huaya Federation in manpower and material resources, all members of the Seven-person Meeting have entered the integration stage and have become high-level ability users who can intimidate a party with their strength alone. .

It is possible for several old people who were originally over seventy years old to enter the integration stage at a faster speed than countless young people in such a short period of time. This new species that has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain is naturally the number one contributor.

They provide sufficient sources of natural materials and treasures for the overlord humans on land, allowing some lucky guys to soar into the sky. But behind the adventure, only God knows how many people who took risks to make a fortune are buried in the wilderness.

A large number of adventurers who longed to get rich overnight either died at the hands of mutated creatures or humans. Secret realms large and small buried the dreams of countless people.

The time for mutation and evolution is not long enough, and most creatures have not yet accumulated the ability to face heavy thermal weapons. Therefore, in the face of the encirclement and suppression by the regular army, even powerful mutant beasts that appear in isolation will most likely turn into someone in the end. The food on their plate has become the basis for them to maintain their status.

Accelerating the acquisition of power through power and wealth, and then using the newly acquired power to seize power and wealth, the tearing of social classes becomes more obvious, and even the only fairness - the length of life - begins to become unbalanced.

A small number of people have indeed succeeded in changing their destiny through luck and become the upper class of society, but as a price, society has begun to truly move in the direction of success relying on mutation rather than hard work.

"...The reconstruction work of the six newly integrated provinces in the south has been basically completed." Rong Jingya, as Ye Zi's secretary, reported to the few people present about the former southern countries.

"After a year of re-management of household registration, there are now more than 21.3 million households in the six provinces, with a total population of 83.22 million. The society has basically stabilized."

"The main management issue is still language communication. Although there are cross-language communication methods such as mental fluctuations, the minimum standard used is those with fate field stage abilities. Others can only listen..."

"Our long-term goal is to completely digest this new territory of more than one million square kilometers within twenty years. According to the development trend of the sea tribe and us humans, more and more of them can come ashore, and so can our ability users who can go into the water. More and more, the current sit-in war situation will not last long." Liu Zhen said his opinion, and the recorder's pen next to him kept writing.

"Moreover, we have to face the pressure of two secret forest realms at the same time. It is still unknown how many powerful mutant animals and plants are hidden inside. Once they emerge, I am afraid that the entire rear area will rot."

After the Linghe Autumn incident, a number of secret realms, large and small, appeared on the land of the entire world. Most of them were the product of the special local environment and the seemingly omnipotent spiritual energy through some unknown reactions. Among them were the The four largest secret forests.

They are the Yunnan Secret Realm starting from the southwest of the Huaya Federation and continuing to South Asia; the Burley Secret Realm in Siberia from the northeast of the Huaya Federation to Mauritius; the Soma Secret Realm across southern Africa; and finally the Amazon Secret Realm in South America. .

Almost all mutated land creatures will head towards these secret realms after awakening. After humans discovered this strange phenomenon, they also conducted various investigations and confirmed that there is an extremely large protective energy field covering each secret realm.

Although people can enter, various electronic equipment cannot be used normally inside, and many metals will rapidly degenerate in it, causing damage to machine parts.

Relevant researchers speculate that the energy field is generated by the resonance of countless mutated plants, but there is still no definite evidence.
