Chapter 155 Gene Medicine
At this time, the people who followed the mutant parrot out finally gradually came back to their senses from the shock.
Zhang Ji and Jian Yi looked at each other and roughly understood what the other wanted to express.
Obviously, there is definitely no spiritual energy tree.
Then there is no need to consider the series of plans made for this.
Similarly, their goal should also change, that is, how to buy more spiritual energy fruits.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ji coughed lightly and asked the mutant parrot in a curious tone: "Parrot Messenger, I just saw Lord Dragon King condense spiritual energy fruits, it seems quite easy, why don't you sell more to us!"
"In this way, the strength of your Dragon King Hall can grow faster, this is a win-win situation!"
The mutant parrot turned his head and glanced at the other party and said: "That's just that you look easy. In fact, whether it is summoning the altar or communicating with the power of heaven and earth, the consumption is quite huge. I mean the consumption of spirit."
"This will greatly slow down Lord Dragon King's cultivation progress, so generally speaking, Lord Dragon King will only condense spirit once a day. Qi fruit, condense 10 at a time. "
Zhang Ji silently wrote down every word the other party said, and said with a smile: "You can condense 10 spiritual fruits a day, so sell more to us! Our requirements are not high, from 1 a day, increase to 2 a day, okay?"
"No!" The mutant parrot said very firmly, and then slowed down his tone and said: "It is definitely not possible now, but when the strength of Lord Dragon King is further improved, or the spiritual energy is further revived. At that time, I can sell more to you. "
Ye Feng knew very well that human desires would never be satisfied. If too much is given now, it will be difficult to end later.
And he felt that the growth rate of the power of the superpowers should be controlled.
After all, after seeing Wang Feng's explosive power, his views on superpowers have also changed.
Wang Feng is only in the early stage of the first level, but the other party burst out with all his strength, condensing a 3000-degree high-temperature fire python. Even a mutant buffalo at the peak of the first level will die if hit.
Perhaps only mutant elephants, mutant rhinos, and mutant hippos with higher defenses could survive by chance, but they would definitely be seriously injured.
So it is estimated that each of these high-burst mutants among humans has the strength to fight against mutant creatures.
If he sold too many spiritual fruits and let the other party pile up a fourth-level mutant, it might really pose a little threat to him.
So he directly refused, and the number of spiritual fruits sold later could be determined according to the situation.
As for Zhang Ji, getting such an answer was not disappointing, at least it had left a loophole.
Then, both sides fell silent.
However, when they were about to leave the Sunset Valley, the mutant parrot spoke again, "I have another question about the restricted area."
"Although you have searched the interior of China, what about the situation outside the country! You didn't say that."
Given the characteristics of the restricted area's continuous expansion, it is not possible to ignore it. Who knows what scale the restricted area will eventually expand to after it continues to devour mutant creatures.
It is not impossible for the entire earth to become a restricted area by then.
Hearing the question from the mutant parrot, Zhang Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"After we reported the news of the restricted area to the country, the country immediately shared the news with all the countries in the world."
"But... some countries don't believe it, and some countries are powerless."
"Only those big countries can send forces to search, but the search range is also limited. In the end, only one restricted area was found in America and Europe." Zhang Ji sighed.
"I can understand that they are powerless. But don't believe it? Didn't you send all the information? How can there be a country so stupid as not to believe it?" The mutant parrot frowned and said.
"I can only say that you can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep. They must know what's going on, but one is the current crisis and the other is the future crisis."
"More importantly, those small countries know very well that big countries cannot allow the restricted area to continue to expand, so before the crisis really falls on their heads, they prefer to pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for us to rescue them." Zhang Ji shrugged and said.
Ye Feng: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But he quickly adjusted his mood. He also knew that those small countries, facing such a disaster, were probably desperate at the top. It was not surprising that they chose to give up after they could not see the future.
But he could not do that. He had a bright future.
As he continued to grow stronger, if one day he became so strong that the border was no longer an obstacle, then the problem of the restricted area would eventually fall on him.
So after leading everyone forward for a distance, the mutant parrot asked again: "Can you use satellites to find all those restricted areas?"
"It's very difficult. The restricted areas will not devour plants, and the plants are too lush now, completely covering the ground. It is difficult to observe whether there are still creatures in that area by satellite alone."
"Therefore, we must send a team to search, using drones and the like to conduct low-altitude large-scale exploration."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ji paused, looked at the mutant parrot and asked: "Parrot Messenger, do you think this is intentional by the restricted area?"
"It's not that they are incapable of devouring plants, but they didn't attack the plants just to hide the existence of the restricted area."
The mutant parrot couldn't help but pause. To be honest, Ye Feng had never thought about this, but now...
Ye Feng immediately said: "Your guess is very likely. Before using the thermobaric bomb in the afternoon, use the incendiary bomb to burn all the plants in the restricted area, and then cut down all the plants in the outer circle."
Zhang Ji added: "I think a small part of the plants can be left in the restricted area as a test."
Ye Feng nodded, "Okay, let's do it."
The two of them modified the plan in a few words, but they were not happy in their hearts, but even more heavy.
...
Capital City, Chinese Academy of Sciences!
This can be said to be the highest hall of scientific research, especially after the recovery of spiritual energy, the country has come forward and invited most of the well-known scholars in the country to work here.
There are hundreds of scientific research projects of all sizes, and each project is very important.
Of course, if we were to choose a research project that is recognized as the most important, it would undoubtedly be the genetic engineering research project.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has undergone three rounds of expansion. From the outside, it looks like a huge park, and almost every important project has an independent research building.
Located in the center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences park, in the largest research building, an old man with white hair is concentrating on a report in front of him.
His name is Zhu Zhengda, and he is one of the two persons in charge of the genetic engineering project.
After a while, he finished reading all the reports, took off his reading glasses and pinched his eyebrows, "Xiao Xu! Let each research team hurry up and conduct the next batch of genetic tests. Among this batch of genetic tests, only one person's gene compatibility can reach 5/10,000, which is still not enough!"
Beside him, a young man with a haggard face and swollen eye bags rubbed his face vigorously and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, now each research team is working 24 hours a day, you should also take a rest! You haven't slept for nearly 20 hours, you can't bear it anymore."
He saw with his own eyes the 50-year-old man in front of him. When he joined the project team, he still had black hair. Now, in less than three months, his hair has turned completely white. You can imagine how much energy this has consumed.
"Alas, how can I sleep in this situation? All I think about when I close my eyes is these things."
"Old Li will enter the final synthesis stage of the gene drug in two days at most. We must select the gene fragments with the highest compatibility within these two days."
Zhu Zhengda stood up and tidied up his research clothes, then walked out first.
Although he no longer needs to do experiments in person with his current status, he has to keep an eye on the core steps of each set of experiments to feel at ease.
Xu Yifei sighed helplessly when he saw this scene, and quickly sorted out the documents on the desk and followed him.
Not long after the two came out of the office, they heard a quarrel from the other side of the corridor.
Old Zhu looked in the direction of the quarrel and found that it came from the sample department. He couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
It is common for other research groups to have disputes over the direction of research.
But the sample department is only responsible for storing samples and sending samples to various scientific research groups. What is there to quarrel about?
With a hint of doubt, Mr. Zhu took Xu Yifei and walked towards the sample department with his hands behind his back and his waist bent.
"Xiao Wen, Xiao Guo, what are you arguing about?" Mr. Zhu asked in a gentle tone after entering the door.
"Mr. Zhu, why are you here!"
"Mr. Zhu, please sit here."
Seeing Mr. Zhu coming in, the two young men called Xiao Wen and Xiao Guo stood up and said.
"I have been sitting in the office for a long time just now, I won't sit down anymore."
Mr. Zhu waved his hand and asked, "Tell me, what are you arguing about?"
Both of them were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't help but answer when asked by Mr. Zhu.
"Mr. Zhu, it's like this. There are too many blood samples sent from various cities. With the current efficiency of our project team, even if we rush in two days, we can only test one-third of the blood samples at most."
"So, we must first select some of these blood samples. We have different opinions on the selection, so we have a dispute." The young man called Xiao Wen spoke first.
Old Zhu nodded, "Come on, tell me what you think! I'll give you some advice."
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Wen spoke first: "Old Zhu, this is what I think. Among all the samples we tested before, the ones with the highest genetic compatibility were selected from those more common superpowers."
"So, next I want to select from these more common superpowers, hoping to find one with higher compatibility. Even if the compatibility is improved by one ten-thousandth, it will be a great breakthrough."
Among all the samples they tested during this period, the one with the highest compatibility was only five ten-thousandths.
What a concept!
With this kind of compatibility, the genetic medicine produced can probably select 5 people out of 10,000 people who meet the injection criteria and awaken them to become superpowers.
You must know that among the more than 5 million people in Yangcheng City, 53 people with super powers were born, which means that only one person with super powers can be born among nearly 100,000 people.
The birth of genetic medicine has increased this probability to 5 in 10,000, which means that among a population of 5 million, 2,500 people with super powers will be born.
This is the role of genetic medicine.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is completely an opportunity for the rise of mankind.
What they have to do now is to maximize the effect of genetic medicine. To achieve this goal, they need to find the most compatible gene fragment.
Among China's population of hundreds of millions, every ten thousandth increase in compatibility is a huge improvement.
Taking Yangcheng City as an example, every ten-thousandth increase in compatibility is equivalent to adding a full 500 superpowers.
This is why they want to desperately find the most compatible gene fragment.
Mr. Zhu nodded after listening to Xiao Wen's story, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his eyes to Xiao Guo beside him.
Xiao Guo immediately said: "Mr. Zhu, my idea is that since the gene fragments that we previously had with a compatibility of five out of 10,000 were extracted from ordinary superpowers, can these ordinary superpowers be considered Or, the highest compatibility of their genes is 5 out of 10,000?”
"If we want to break the situation, we may have to go in the opposite direction and start with the top superpowers. Only then can we find gene fragments that are more suitable."
After the two of them finished expressing their opinions, they both looked at Mr. Zhu, waiting for what the old man in front of them would think.
"I think both of your conjectures are reasonable, especially Xiao Guo. I see a enterprising attitude from you. It's very good. Keep it up."
A smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Guo's face, but before he could speak, Mr. Zhu continued: "As for Xiao Wen's suggestion, I also agree. There is nothing wrong with focusing on stability. The bigger the matter, the more stability is needed. Because we can’t make any mistakes.”
After Mr. Zhu praised both of them, he expressed his opinion with a smile, "But sometimes! You don't have to take things so extreme. Moderation is actually not bad."
"For example, when you select these blood samples, my suggestion is to select all the superpowers in the entire city as a whole."
"Among the superpowers in a city, there must be top-notch superpowers and ordinary superpowers. There are opportunities for both, right?"
"That's what Mr. Zhu said." The two said in unison.
After the two looked at each other, they asked again in unison: "Mr. Zhu, which cities' blood samples should we choose?"
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "It's simple. If you want to find the gene fragment with the highest compatibility, it actually depends on luck."
"Why don't you go check out which cities have the best luck and the least casualties during this mutant animal crisis? Then we'll choose these cities."
