Star of Civilization

v2 Chapter 141

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Civilization Star God Tribulation!

The evolution of organisms themselves 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 the arch of the foot, all of which seem to be the result of natural selection.

But when human beings go into space, the living environment changes too fast, and human beings cannot evolve independently in a short period of time. If there is a species higher than humans as a template, indicating the direction, then evolution in that direction is simple.

However, human beings are already the spirits of all things 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’s desire to explore is, transforming the environment vs. transforming human beings, these two viewpoints have always existed in the academic world, and they are deadlocked.

The environment school and the self school are two distinct factions.

Modifying the environment seems like a good option, and it's something that many people have been doing since the beginning of civilization. However, the transformation consumes a huge amount of resources, it cannot be completed overnight, and it will cause great damage to the environment. Once the natural environment changes, it has to be pushed back, and the risk is multiplied;

With the advancement of science and technology and the development of human beings into outer space, the advantages of the latter relatively less consumption are reflected. But more practical problems are in front of people's eyes. Many scientific predictions actually need extreme time and space to be verified. The spatial scale and experimental environment on the earth are completely unsatisfactory. People need to find and observe ongoing experiments on a cosmic scale.

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

The debate between the two factions has turned into a protracted and tit-for-tat speech storm in academia for decades, affecting various research fields.

Since the boundaries of countries on the earth have disappeared, the new generation has realized that talking is useless. In any case, scientific and technological progress and technological explosion will accelerate the pace of human exploration. The solution becomes weak and vulnerable in the face of actions that should have been put on the agenda long ago.

Morgana's point is clear—it's all your own rules, she doesn't agree.

The environment school and the self school can completely develop at the same time, and they are just at different stages, so there is no need to argue.

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

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

Therefore, changing human beings has become Morgana's lifelong pursuit. She realized that the only way to deal with it is to take action and see the result.

The bitter cold wind in Antarctica can't extinguish the human's fiery heart of exploration, and the difficult road can't stop the researcher's footsteps.

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 the treasure buried deep in the Antarctic underground ice lake.

There is a huge primitive ecological circle here. The creatures at the bottom of the lake seem to have never evolved from the beginning of their birth. The ecological change curve here is straight. The primitive submarine volcanoes are left here after the eruption, and they still maintain the most life on earth. original look.

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

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

These creatures, older than the dinosaurs and supposedly extinct, are plentiful here.

Morgana was completely shocked, excited and joyful in her heart, and immediately started working at the Antarctic base, researching frantically for a year.

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

In the end, she returned to her laboratory with biological samples and research materials, and began to use genetic screening and editing techniques to find her goals one by one.

It seemed that this was what Morgana was 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 has already watched hundreds of video materials. These materials are kept in the deepest part of Ross's medical laboratory, and they seem to be very confidential, as if Morgana had deliberately let her see them.

Joyner twisted her neck, moved her body, and gathered her red hair, which was also smudged with green fluorescent light, turning into a strange mixture of bright colors. She knew that the most critical part of the information had not yet appeared.

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

But at this moment, her expression became a little dazed, and she hesitated in her heart. Can't tell if it's worry, fear, or inner instinctive resistance?

Joyner was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said lightly, "Continue, play in chronological order."

The artificial intelligence quickly replied, "The third-level authority has not been unlocked, and it needs to awaken the deep consciousness authorization."

What!

wake up who? What is deep consciousness?

Joyner was stunned for a while, staring at the machine on the wall repeatedly. She felt that she had been played hard by the other party.

With a "snap", she slapped the machine shell as solid as a wall with her palm, and a fierce momentum erupted unconsciously in her body.

"I want you right now! Right now! Play me the following message! Do you hear me!"

"Buzz-hum...drip-"

The floor under Joyner's feet suddenly trembled a few times~lightnovelpub.net~ She jumped aside vigilantly, lowered her head, and saw a few irregular cracks appearing where she had just stood, and they were separating to both sides.

She suddenly realized that these cracks were not broken naturally, but a certain mechanism was triggered!

A pipe connected to the wall is exposed, and then there are countless messy cables. Finally, when the device hidden under the ground was slowly raised to be level with the floor, and the sound of the mechanical operation stopped, a special petri dish made of alloy appeared in front of Joyna.

"The third-level authority has been unlocked, and the deep consciousness response has been established...authorization passed...drop..." the voice of artificial intelligence sounded.

"ah?"

Joyner opened her mouth wide, unable to speak.

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

I accidentally unlocked the third level of authority?

But she had no idea what was going on!
