Chapter 504: We May Open the Gate of Hell
In the huge conference hall of the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences, famous biological science masters came on stage one after another to express their new understanding of biological science and life.
Inspiring the heart of life and letting the heart of life interpret the mystery of life, all scientists who watched it gained a lot of inspiration and solved many confusions, but there were also too many new and too many doubts that filled their brains again.
"Please look, this image is the image of the last moment. Here, we can see that intelligent species similar to humans have appeared, and new gene fragments have appeared in them. I think this may be the intelligent gene fragment we have been trying to find all along."
A young scientist named Li Shukuang stood on the stage and said to the information of the virtual image. This Li Shukuang is very young, but he has extraordinary talent in the field of imperial biological science research. It can be seen that he can participate in such an important academic conference at such a young age.
The intelligent gene fragment he mentioned is also a difficult problem currently being studied by scientists in the empire. The biggest difference between civilized races and ordinary beasts is that civilized races have evolved higher-level intelligent genes.
However, the scientists of the Empire have studied many civilized races, including humans themselves. All civilized races have a characteristic: there are many gene sequences, a large number of advanced genes, and a very complex structure. Scientists simply cannot find the intelligent genes they have always wanted to find in the vast gene sequence group.
However, now, through the interpretation of the Heart of Life, starting from the simplest cell life, slowly adding new genes, the scientists of the Empire have a new understanding of the genes of each fragment, and are very clear about the functions and effects of this new gene fragment.
Li Shukuang's words made many scientists present nod their heads, because everyone thought so. The human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs of body chromosomes, one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, and there are more than 3 billion DNA base pairs on these 23 pairs of chromosomes.
However, what really makes humans different from animals and beasts is only a very, very small part of them. Most of the genes of humans are actually no different from those of animals. Scientists have even found that the similarity between human genes and mouse genes is as high as more than 80%.
But it is a very, very small part of these genes, which scientists call intelligent genes, that has transformed humans, given them wisdom and unlimited possibilities. They are no longer the kind of beasts and animals that can only survive by instinct, but can be called the children of heaven.
As for the attraction of these gene fragments to scientists, since the Earth era, when the Americans proposed the Human Genome Project to figure out the order of these genome sequences in the human body and decode the mysteries of life, humans have never given up looking for intelligent genes in the human body.
"I personally suggest that we concentrate our efforts to re-map the gene pool that our empire currently has, and modify the errors that exist in our current gene pool. Before we face the intelligent gene, I think we need to re-sort out the errors in our previous cognition and correct them. Only in this way can we go further and more smoothly in the principles of life science in the future."
"Intelligent genes are the root of civilized races that are different from animals and beasts. Before we have mastered the most basic low-level genes and high-level genes, I suggest that we should treat them with caution. Genes involve our roots and are also a major event for the continuation of our race. Once our carelessness and lack of strict prohibition lead to scenes similar to those in science fiction movies, we will be the eternal sinners of the nation and will be blamed for a hundred deaths."
Unexpectedly, the next words of the young Li Shukuang were like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the imperial scientists present. One by one, the scientists couldn't help but frown and think carefully.
"Shu Kuang is a very mature child at a young age. I didn't expect that the first thing he thought of now was the huge harm that the leap-forward development of life science and technology might cause to the empire. Well, this may be human instinct, full of curiosity but also full of fear about the unknown world."
"But it is really precious to be able to keep clean in this situation."
Li Fu nodded silently in his heart. He still liked this younger generation of his family very much. The old Li family has a large population and has been nourished by the profound Yuanli method from generation to generation. The genes are quite excellent, and there are also many talents emerging, including many well-known scientists in the field of science.
Among them, Li Shu Kuang, who studies biological science like Li Fu, is a younger generation that Li Fu likes more. He is talented and very hardworking, and he is also very humble. Just by getting along with him, no one would think that he is a child of the imperial family.
"For the gene bank that our empire now has, this work is really too huge. Re-weaving and modifying all the gene banks will most likely cause our biotechnology to develop slowly for a period of time."
Soon, some scientists stood up to express their opposition. As the empire has developed to this point, the gene pool obtained by the empire's scientists is no longer limited to one planet or one star field, but the entire Milky Way.
From the plants and animals on the top planets in the Milky Way, to the genes of various civilized races in the Milky Way, and the genes of various strange creatures and beasts, the empire's scientists are collecting the entire huge gene pool, which is beyond imagination.
You should know that the number of species on a single planet is calculated in tens of millions, and the number of life born in the entire huge Milky Way is even more countless. The number of intelligent civilizations born alone is calculated in billions. Although the empire's scientists collect a lot every year, it is still insignificant compared to the vast biological world.
But even if it is insignificant, it is still very huge. Now Li Shukuang proposes to re-adjust the gene pool currently in the empire, and the workload is too large.
"Now is like the stage of laying the foundation. If we don't lay a solid foundation, then we will definitely make mistakes in the future on the road of biological science. At that time, if we still want to go back to lay the foundation, it will be even more unprofitable. Perhaps a small mistake may also lead to the failure of an important experiment."
Li Shukuang smiled and explained very patiently in the face of opposition.
"If we want to build a tall building higher, we must lay a solid foundation now. Since we already know that there are many errors in the gene library we have now, we should modify them."
"Like gene YX003, we have always thought that it is a division and reproduction gene, but now we can clearly know that it is a growth gene. If we don't modify it, we will definitely make major mistakes when we carry out gene recombination in the future."
Li Shukuang's words made many masters present nod slowly, and even those who initially opposed were persuaded by Li Shukuang. The importance of the foundation is undoubted. Now everyone sees the hope of the rise of Empire Biotechnology, but before taking off, they still have to lay a solid foundation.
After bowing deeply, Li Shukuang walked down the stage with a smile on his face. Although he was like everyone else, he wanted to start studying the new doubts in his heart right now, but he also knew that the future was still very long.
Li Fu walked up to the stage slowly, and the others began to become respectful. As the leader and originator of the imperial biological science field, Li Fu had an extremely huge influence on the imperial scientists, especially in the field of biological science. Many of the older generation of scientists present were Li Fu's disciples. As for the disciples of the disciples, it is estimated that all the scientists in this hall can be regarded as Li Fu's disciples.
Of course, apart from this relationship, Li Fu is definitely a top scientist. Not only in the field of biological science, but also in many scientific fields, Li Fu is at the top. This is also the reason why countless people admire Li Fu. Li Fu often has his own unique views and insights on a certain matter, which can make people enlightened and open their minds.
"Today I won't talk about academic things, I will talk about the future development plan of our Empire Biotechnology."
"First of all, I can say with certainty that our biotechnology will usher in an explosive development stage, and countless achievements will be as numerous as the doubts in everyone's mind. There are as many doubts as there are now, and there will be as many achievements in the future."
"But as Li Shukuang said just now, what we need to do now is to calm down, let our brains calm down, and slow down. We should first sort out our current foundation and lay a solid and solid foundation. Only in this way can we go further and go further. "Why do I emphasize safety? I think scientists who study viruses should have a deeper understanding of the explosive development of biological science and technology. We can create more terrible and powerful viruses. Maybe one day in the future, we may also create species that destroy our own human beings." "This is definitely not alarmist, nor is it a random guess. In the future, we may open the door to hell and release countless terrible demons." PS: Well, what about biotechnology? Some people predict that humans may be destroyed by various powerful viruses they create.
