Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 141. Familiar greetings (1)

[Extra 141. Familiar greetings (1)]

The evolution of living things is to adapt to the evolution of the natural environment. Just like the disappearance of the human tail, the degeneration of the appendix, and the degeneration of the soles of the feet to form arches, they all seem to be the result of natural selection.

But when humans move into space, the living environment changes too quickly, and humans cannot evolve independently in a short period of time. If there is a species higher than humans that serves as a template and points the way, then evolving in that direction is simple.

However, humans are already the dominant species on earth, and there are no biological samples for reference. So what will be the direction of evolution?

At this time, someone thought that some kind of artificial catalyst could be developed to promote human evolution. However, problems also arise – no matter how valuable human beings’ desire for exploration is, the two viewpoints of transforming the environment vs. transforming humans themselves have always existed in the academic world, and they are deadlocked.

The two major factions, environmentalists and selfists, are distinct.

Changing the environment seems to be a good choice, and it is something that many people have been doing since the beginning of civilization. However, the transformation consumes extremely huge resources, cannot be completed overnight, and causes huge harm to the environment. Once the natural environment changes, it will have to be reset, and the risks will increase exponentially;

with the advancement of science and technology and the development of humans into outer space, the latter’s advantage of relatively less consumption is reflected. More practical problems are before people. Many scientific predictions actually require extreme time and space to verify. The spatial scale and experimental environment on the earth are completely unsatisfactory. People need to find and observe experiments taking place on the cosmic scale.

Therefore, changing human beings themselves and becoming more reasonable options is also a once and for all method.

Over the past few decades, the debate between the two groups has turned into a protracted and tit-for-tat storm of opinions in the academic world, affecting various research fields.

Since the disappearance of national boundaries on the earth, the new generation has realized that it is useless to talk alone. In any case, scientific and technological progress and technological explosion will accelerate the pace of human exploration. Solutions become weak and vulnerable in the face of action that should have been on the agenda long ago.

Morgana’s point of view is very clear – these are your own rules, and she doesn’t recognize them.

The environmentalists and the selfists can develop at the same time. They are just at different stages. There is no need to argue.

But at a practical level, she is more inclined to transform humans themselves.

Because biologists’ conjectures about the origin of life must also be verified on a cosmic scale by looking for interstellar organic molecules. When mankind enters the interstellar age, its true value can only be fully realized in the future.

Therefore, changing humanity itself has become Morgana’s lifelong pursuit. She realized that the only way to respond correctly is to take action and then see the results.

The freezing cold winds of Antarctica cannot extinguish mankind’s passion for exploration, and the difficult journey cannot stop researchers.

A few weeks later, when the expedition team arrived at Glacier No. 17 and stood next to the giant iceberg that had not melted for thousands of years, as expected, they discovered treasures buried deep in the Antarctic underground glacial lake.

There is a huge primitive ecosystem here. The creatures at the bottom of the lake seem to have never evolved since their birth. The ecological change curve here is flat. The original submarine volcano was left here after the eruption and still maintains the best life on earth. Original look.

Human beings have no way of knowing the original form of life on earth, so there have always been many assumptions. One possibility is that the first small organic molecules may have appeared near hydrothermal vents on the seafloor, where there was enough heat and the right chemicals to provide the necessary needs for the evolution of life.

Microorganisms are the earliest organisms to appear on the earth and are also one of the oldest species. They perform photosynthesis and live in a large number of bacterial colonies. They have existed for about 3 billion years; coral sponges have existed for nearly 800 million years; Primitive jellyfish, coelacanths, horseshoe crabs, and various unnamed animals and plants…

These creatures are older than dinosaurs and should have been extinct, but they are countless here.

Morgana was completely shocked and excited. She immediately started working at the Antarctic base and studied frantically for a year.

During this time she collected and sequenced thousands of biological samples. Most of these organisms are slime molds and algae, and there are also unnamed single-celled organisms. They all maintain the characteristics of plants and animals at the same time.

Finally, she returned to her research laboratory with biological samples and research materials, and began to use genetic screening and editing technology to find the targets in her heart one by one.

It seems that this is what Morgana is looking for.

She firmly believes that homeotic genes will inevitably be born in these precious samples.

In the hall illuminated by green fluorescent light, the image information disappeared. Joyner was silent for a moment and slowly stood up from the ground.

I don’t know how long it took, but she had already watched hundreds of video materials. This information is kept in the deepest part of Rose’s medical research laboratory and seems to be very confidential, just like Morgana specially let her see it.

Joyner twisted her neck, moved her body, and smoothed her red hair. Her hair was also dyed with green fluorescence, turning it into a strange mixture of bright colors. She knew that the most critical part of this information had not yet appeared.

Joyner couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.

But her expression became a little dazed at the moment, and she hesitated in her heart. I can’t tell whether it’s worry, fear, or inner instinctive resistance?

Joyner was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said calmly, “Continue, play in chronological order.”

The artificial intelligence quickly replied, “The third-level permission has not been unlocked, and deep consciousness authorization needs to be awakened.”

What!

Who to wake up? What is deep consciousness?

Joyner was stunned for a while and stared at the machine on the wall repeatedly. She felt that she was being played hard.

With a “pop” sound, she hit the shell of the machine as solid as a wall with her palm, and a fierce aura erupted in her body unconsciously.

“I want you immediately! Immediately! Play me the following message! Do you hear it!”

“Buzz-buzz… beep-“

The floor under Joyner’s feet suddenly trembled a few times, and she jumped to the side alertly. Lowering his head, he saw several irregular cracks appearing where he had just stood, spreading to both sides.

She suddenly realized that these cracks were not natural breaks, but some mechanism had been triggered!

A pipe connected to the wall was exposed, followed by countless tangled cables. Finally, when the device hidden underground was slowly raised to be flush with the floor, and the sound of mechanical operation stopped, a special petri dish made of alloy appeared in front of Joyner’s eyes.

“Level three authority has been unlocked, deep consciousness reaction established…authorization passed…tick…” the voice of artificial intelligence sounded.

“Ah?”

Joyner opened her mouth wide and was speechless.

The outer cover of the alloy petri dish has been lowered, but there is nothing inside, except for a small amount of light blue nutrients, about one-fifth of the full amount.

Did he accidentally unlock the third level authority?

But she had no idea what was going on!
