Chapter 1285 Genes and Prophecy (Second Update)

Until now, Xia Yuanfang couldn't remember who that person was.

She clearly remembered the appearance of every senior brother and sister in the laboratory, but she just couldn't remember who was the first to come up with this "unnatural" idea?

She thought about it again and again, and concluded that it was definitely not from her laboratory.

So, are they from other laboratories?

This range is quite large...

Xia Yuanfang thought while looking at Xia Chujian's curious eyes, knowing that if he didn't explain clearly, he didn't know how this girl would think so wildly...

She pointed to the genetic testing data of the low-level Zerg nesters and said, "...They are all here."

"You see, this gene shows that their evolution happened suddenly, not natural evolution over a long period of time."

"When this happens, there will be major genetic defects in any organism."

"Either it cannot be combined at all, causing the organism to die immediately, or the organism's genes will no longer have the function of self-replication, that is, they will lose the function of inheritance."

"If organisms evolve naturally, then over a long period of time, those genes that cannot reproduce will be naturally eliminated. In the end, only the genes that can reproduce will survive. Only then can a truly intelligent biological group emerge."

"But this gene shows that the Zerg obviously did not appear this way."

"No matter how they achieve rapid genetic evolution, the price is that their genes lose their self-reproduction function."

"They must use the genes of other intelligent creatures to reproduce."

"Look here, there are a lot of mixed genes here that obviously do not belong to the Zerg, but it is these genes that allow the Zerg gene chain to be copied successfully so that their eggs can hatch."

"But if you do this, the most powerful part of their genes, the Zerg genes, will inevitably be weakened, and their genetic evolution will gradually slow down."

"On a biological level, there will be fewer and fewer Zerg species above their intermediate evolutionary level."

"The vast majority of hatched offspring will be incompletely developed and have such low intelligence that they cannot reach the level of intelligent creatures. They are atavisms in a biological sense."

"The atavism of the Zerg is to return to the state of insects."

"No intelligent creature will allow itself to return to that state of ignorance."

"This explains why the Zerg race desperately conquers and expands in various universes, but keeps giving up and opening up new universes."

"This is because they are looking for their own way, their own way of survival."

"What is the survival of a biological group? - It is to enable oneself to reproduce successfully and pass on one's own genes."

"This is a biological instinct, a biological instinct that is independent of individual will."

Xia Chujian was amazed and said with emotion: "Auntie, can you tell so much by just looking at this piece of genetic data?"

Xia Yuanfang sighed softly and said: "First meeting, do you know? The best geneticist is like a prophet."

"They can infer a person's life trajectory from his genes."

"It is also possible to infer the future of a group from its genes."

Xia Chujian was filled with envy and said, "Oh, if I wasn't a scumbag, I would study genetics!"

Xia Yuanfang said: "You are not a scumbag in the first place, but even if you are a top student, you cannot learn these things in the Beichen Empire."

Xia Chujian said: "But aunt understands! I can learn from aunt!"

Xia Yuanfang glanced at her and took the opportunity to say, "You're right! How about you retire from the army and learn these sciences related to genes from me?"

"I promise to teach you to become the most outstanding geneticist in the entire Beichen Empire!"

Xia Chujian was very moved, but when she thought of the large books that Xia Yuanfang often read, the livable planets transformed by the Zerg, and the countless people who were treated as biological petri dishes, she shook her head. .

Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Haha, my aunt really thinks highly of me!"

"I don't want it anymore. I'd better finish what I'm doing first."

"Besides, I've already joined the army. I won't retire until I become a marshal!"

Xia Yuanfang: "..."

Should she say that this girl is ambitious, or unrealistic and ambitious?

It seems that these words have similar meanings.

Xia Yuanfang smiled and shook his head and said, "Think about it again... Anyway, no matter when you want to learn, I will teach you."

Xia Chujian took advantage of this opportunity, carefully brought the topic back, and asked softly: "Auntie, is there any way you can stop the Zerg from continuing to use humans as their uterus as soon as possible?"

Xia Yuanfang retracted his racing thoughts and pondered: "Prevent the Zerg from continuing to use humans as wombs to hatch new Zerg? There are ways, but it may have to sacrifice many, many people, or even more than half of the entire empire, to make the Zerg give up. Continue to use humans as Zerg uteruses, are you sure you want to do this?”

Xia Chujian was stunned: "Huh?! Why?! Could it be that the Zerg will give up when they find that humans can no longer hatch offspring for them? Why do they have to sacrifice so many people?!"

This was definitely not her original intention! Xia Yuanfang said calmly: "From what you told me about the Zerg, this intelligent creature is different from humans."

"For them to believe this, they would probably have to wipe out more than half of the population of the Beichen Empire before they could come to this conclusion."

"For example, why do they believe that humans over there at the Southern Cross can no longer serve as their wombs?"

"Are there not many humans left alive over there?"

Of course, what Xia Yuanfang meant by "really living" was not those humans who had been placed in incubators, treated like wombs, and could only be regarded as biological petri dishes.

Rather, they are human beings with the ability to act autonomously and self-awareness.

This kind of human beings no longer exist in the entire Southern Cross Empire.

And the vast majority of them are on the Southern Cross.

The remaining ten habitable planets in the Principality of Southern Cross are already dominated by the Zerg.

Xia Chujian nodded with an ugly face and said, "I really asked my aunt to say it..."

"The former Principality of Southern Cross had twelve habitable planets and a population of tens of billions. Now it has lost ten habitable planets. There are only one billion people left who can be truly considered alive, and they are all inhabitable on Southern Cross. on the planet."

"The main battlefield between the Zerg army and humans is now on the Southern Cross."

"The remaining ten habitable planets that have been occupied should have been transformed into an environment suitable for the Zerg."

"There are no longer any living humans on it, except for those humans who are used as the uterus of the Zerg."

"You also know that those people are actually no longer living people, they are just petri dishes."

"Their genes are completely contaminated by Zerg genes."

Xia Yuanfang said: "I speculate that this is also the case. So I said that to make the Zerg believe that humans are no longer suitable for the Zerg uterus, it is estimated that the entire human race in the Beichen Galaxy will be in trouble before they can come to this conclusion."

"Only then will they give up trying to let humans do their job of incubating the womb."

Xia Yuanfang paused and then said: "And when they give up letting humans be the uterus of the Zerg, it will be the end of humanity."

"I don't think they're going to keep humans alive who have no role for them."

"Will all humans become the food of the Zerg race by then?"

Xia Chujian couldn't help but look at Xia Yuanfang and said sincerely: "I think the same thing as my aunt!"

"So, I must not let this happen!"

"Auntie, I was wondering if this could be done..."

As she said this, she actually whispered in Xia Yuanfang's ear.

Although there were only two of them in the laboratory and there was absolutely no surveillance, Xia Chujian subconsciously made such an action.

Xia Yuanfang knew that this was a little habit Xia Chujian had developed when he was a child.

If there is something that they don't want others to know, this is what the aunt and nephew will do.

But at that time, it was because they lived in a crowded place, and they were all humanoids. Many of the humanoids had special abilities, such as outstanding hearing or outstanding vision. They were even more powerful than surveillance and were impossible to guard against.

That's why the aunt and nephew developed this habit.

Now many years have passed, Xia Chujian still shows this habit at important times.

Xia Yuanfang smiled slightly and listened carefully to what Xia Chujian said before saying, "You want to do something in their incubator first..."

Xia Chujian nodded: "I have been to that place. It turns out that letting humans make Zerg uteruses does not just lay eggs in human stomachs. It also requires other things. For example, the water in the incubator should be a kind of Culture fluid similar to amniotic fluid.”

"It's a pity that the Zerg over there are too tightly guarded, so I don't have the chance to get some culture fluid back for you to study."

Xia Yuanfang didn't care, nodded and said, "It won't be so troublesome."

"This so-called incubator is actually a biological petri dish."

"The human beings inside the uterus of the Zerg are indeed no longer considered normal living people, they are just living organisms."

"What the Zerg need is to seize a certain gene from organisms like humans to stabilize their Zerg genes so that their offspring can hatch from eggs smoothly."

"Actually, to be precise, they don't lay eggs directly into the human body."

"They cannot produce eggs by themselves at all, but...borrow part of human genes, copy their own genes, form eggs, and then let the eggs hatch in the human body."

Xia Chujian felt a chill when he heard it, and said quickly: "This is really cruel."

"As intelligent creatures, I really can't bear to be treated so badly by the Zerg!"

"So, Auntie, can you add some ingredients to their culture fluid so that they can't use human genes to form their own eggs?!"

This is the second update. There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening!
