Chapter 214 Gene Hunter

In addition to these producers of "food" fruits, there is another category that is specifically responsible for producing young.

This is a bit close to bee colonies.

Oh, it should be narrowed down to the scope of honey bees.

The worker bees of the bee colony can also lay eggs on their own, but they are suppressed by the queen bee, that is, the queen bee, and their eggs will be cleaned by the queen bee.

The worker bees themselves are female bees formed by unfertilized eggs, so they should have fertility.

However, because of the development mechanism of bees-

If Yao Yan remembers correctly, most of the worker bees will actually lack royal jelly during the development process, resulting in incomplete development of fertility, and at the same time, their organs begin to specialize, forming functionally specialized bees, so they are worker bees.

If they can continue to eat royal jelly, they will become queen bees.

Some worker bees are actually fertile. Maybe they secretly eat royal jelly, which causes the incomplete ovaries to continue to develop, or it may be that the worker bees collectively eat royal jelly openly after the queen of the bee colony is lost.

Both situations exist, so the queen bee will constantly clean the worker bee eggs at ordinary times.

In this demon society, a similar situation also occurred.

It is not that the demon queen will clean up the cubs.

Rather,

the current demon queen is not only a pheromone emitter, but also a hormone provider.

Another type of demon that specializes in producing "fruits" produces demons that can develop into complete individuals.

The demon queen will be responsible for cleaning up those deformed individuals that cannot fully develop.

In addition, she will continue to provide hormones similar to royal jelly to shorten the development time of these demons.

In addition, she will provide preliminary guidance on the direction of development.

If demons develop on their own, they will develop with a comprehensive tendency to exist independently in the natural environment, but they will appear redundant in the group.

The demon queen will guide them to develop in a certain direction to reduce unnecessary waste.

The more familiar Yao Yan is, the more he knows how this demon society is an efficient war machine.

But it is only preliminary development-

The queen's power is not that great.

In this demon city, there are other facilities responsible for guiding development.

These facilities will guide subsequent development and provide different nutrients to demons in different directions.

If the queen is a kindergarten, then these development houses are from elementary school to high school and university.

The day the demon left the development house, he was already a highly specialized individual, embedded in the demon society as a gear.

No, how can humans compare with these demons?

Yao Yan couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

The level of training for humans in educational institutions such as schools is far worse than that of demons.

Demons are arranged directly from birth to death.

Of course, humans with vague judgment mechanisms often feel "similar" when they hear examples, which cannot be quantified in their minds, and they go further "yes" under the defects of vague judgment mechanisms.

Do you think that the physiological form of demons is human society? How vague is the judgment mechanism to think it is consistent?

Yao Yan can't be sure, the differences between human individuals are not small, and individuals without brains do exist.

Humans don't have a structure like the demon queen who will kill and clean up defective cubs directly.

Things like humanitarianism do not exist in demon society.

After taking a final look at the Queen's Palace and the warehouses storing human remains and other demon artifacts, Yao Yan decisively followed the other "gene hunters" out.

Yes, the life form of Yao Yan's body is not a "perfumer", but a "gene hunter".

This is the judgment and naming made by Yao Yan after he accurately understood the social function he was in.

Although it is similar to the perfumer, the ability to emit pheromones is also the same, but this body has some more abilities.

Gene hunting and storage.

It sounds like just collecting flesh and blood and bringing it back?

Maybe, but this body can also specifically form hormone substances that can reverse the differentiation of differentiated cells for a certain organism, and inject them into the target's body.

Then, take these genes back.

These genes will be directed and specialized by special demon individuals, and develop a more powerful differentiation ability than the individual from which the genes come.

Rough and primitive?

At this time, Yao Yan had already crossed out his initial judgment.

After careful understanding and identification, this seemingly rough social form is just his misunderstanding, and can even be said to be a disguise of a demon.

For example, there is a huge area underground in this demon society, but on the surface there is only a small city made up of a giant tree.

However, soon, his thoughts were interrupted.

It was not because of what happened with Lijier, but because of the other gene hunters around him.

"There are no creatures worth hunting around here."

A demon who looked like Yao Yan said.

"Indeed, the estrus-induced reproduction conducted before did not produce any mutant individuals worth hunting."

Another demon who looked similar said.

Yao Yan found what they said from his memory.

For "excellent genes", the demons performed various operations.

For example, inducing the acceleration of the development speed of surrounding organisms, increasing the number of estrus, and increasing the breeding period.

"Gene mutation" Sexual reproduction is easier to obtain excellent genes and mutations than individual reproduction.

The demons already know this.

They knew this when they had not developed a social structure.

Unlike humans who took more than a dozen centuries to study it.

Even Yao Yan felt that they would understand it when they had no social structure, when they acted alone, and when they were minors.

After all, demons have the ability to integrate genes.

When they were loners, they had little chance to pass on their experience and knowledge.

After collectivization and clustering, their discoveries were able to be spread and continued in the group in various ways.

"Collective" is a refrigerator for "experience" and "knowledge".

"Collective" is a culture dish for "experience" and "knowledge".

He looked at the other gene hunters indifferently.

He wondered what kind of culture would the demon society that started from this starting point develop? What kind of myths and legends would be formed? What would they focus on? If their spirit condensed into a trial space, what kind of trial space would it be?

Although there is no curiosity reward mechanism, Yao Yan also wants to know.

However, he is not in the forefront.

Then, he said:

"So, which demon should we hunt?"

This sentence made the five demons, the five gene hunters, turn their eyes away.

Yao Yan looked at them indifferently.

If they hunt for excellent genes, demons who can collect various genes are like treasure chests in the game for their demon society.

I don't know what kind of treasures can be opened.
