Chapter 276 The Principle of Gene Unlocking
Chapter 276 The Principle of Gene Unlocking
I had heard Xiaojun say before that genes contain enormous amounts of energy, and that once the gene lock is unlocked, it will release tremendous energy.
Some of these will be stored by the entity that releases the energy, such as the spiritual plants in the space, or the mutated plants and animals of this world.
Some of these, unable to be stored in their own bodies, are released outside, forming spiritual energy or energy vapor.
The energy stored within her body is further divided into two categories. One is like the spiritual plants in her space, which serve as a vessel to preserve this energy.
It has virtually no effect on itself; it is naturally consumed by other species, and its energy is obtained by those species.
Another type, like the mutated plants and animals of this world, unlocks enormous energy which is absorbed by themselves, thus promoting their evolution.
Of course, the enormous energy released by unlocking the genetic lock cannot be completely absorbed by them immediately. In addition to its own effects, they will also condense the remaining energy into crystals.
You can absorb it slowly, and you can also use your own energy to attract scattered energy in the air, gradually expanding your own size.
By accumulating energy to complete the next stage of gene unlocking, a virtuous cycle is formed, making oneself stronger and stronger.
Both are forms of natural selection; one relies on the people or animals that consume it to survive and uses them to spread itself.
Another type relies on itself, but the stronger it is, the harder it is to leave offspring, as if all its essence has been absorbed by itself, creating reproductive isolation from other plants and animals of the same genus and family.
Even humans, mice, and rabbits, which have high reproductive capabilities, are the same.
However, all of this happens after the genes are unlocked, and unlocking the genes is an incredibly difficult process.
Yufei remembered Xiaojun telling her that their space was made possible by a combination of advanced technology and immense energy, enabling them to unlock the genes of primitive plants and create a cycle.
That's right! Unlocking genes releases a lot of energy, but unlocking them also requires a lot of external energy.
Unlocking can only be achieved through genetic unlocking methods; attempting to unlock it using brute force with energy will not only fail to yield the enormous energy gained after genetic unlocking.
It could also cause the genes of the organism undergoing gene unlocking to collapse, and things could take an unexpected turn.
So this insectoid race can unlock the genes of primitive plants and obtain a large amount of energy to promote evolution simply by using their mouths?!
Yufei found it incredible!
As for whether the Zerg ate these primitive plants for other reasons, Yufei said it was absolutely impossible.
As Cui Yu'an just mentioned, these primitive plants can enable the Zerg to evolve; only energy can drive the evolution of a species.
Original plants do not possess energy; only when their genes are unlocked can they release large amounts of energy.
Moreover, the energy released is definitely more than that of those mutated plants; otherwise, the Zerg wouldn't have gone so crazy when the primitive plants matured.
The mutated plants can actually unlock gene locks, but these are no longer the most basic gene locks; each unlock requires more energy.
It seems the Zerg aren't omnipotent; she estimates their mouthparts can only unlock the first-level gene lock of primitive plants.
But these are already very strong!
Little Jun, who could think of it all, must have thought of it too. It excitedly fawned over Yufei in the space.
"Master! Master! Xiao Jun wants a Zergling; I want to study it."
"it is good"
Yufei certainly wouldn't object to Xiaojun's research on the Zerg; she was also very curious.
But this can't be rushed; there are still almost 10 days until summer vacation starts here.
This corresponds to the fact that she can stay here for another month. During this month, she needs to find a way to go out and bring a Zergling into the space.
"According to Cui Yu'an, it's not that we misjudged the unmutated plants. After all, only the Zerg have this ability. Humans probably don't have the ability to turn unmutated plants into a potion that can promote evolution, right?!"
Yufei looked at Cui Yu'an and said
"Indeed, no. However, precisely because they discovered that unmutated plants have an evolutionary effect on the Zerg, they are also actively researching how unmutated plants promote their evolution."
Research inevitably involves costs, you know?
Alright! Yufei finally understood why they had misjudged the non-mutated plants. Indeed, if that were the case, the mutated plants they cultivated wouldn't be enough for their production.
Yufei, however, still prayed that they hadn't discovered anything. The unknown consequences of unlocking the genes and causing the plants' genes to collapse might be something they couldn't afford.
It's alright if those plants just died, but it would be troublesome if they were genetically disrupted and rearranged randomly.
Yufei shook her head. "Sigh! Don't think about things that haven't happened yet."
"In that case, let's put aside the food livestream for now. The orders for traditional clothing and jewelry made with ancient techniques are enough for us to earn Alliance Coins."
For us at this stage, good food is just icing on the cake, so we'll have to trouble Brother He."
Yufei looked at He Junlin and said, He Junlin patted his chest.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Wait for my good news in three days."
"So, let's prepare things tomorrow and set up the balcony to grow vegetables and fruits? What would be suitable for us to grow?"
Xie Yiren asked, seeking their opinions.
Cui Yu'an raised his right hand and opened the contribution points redemption shop again, looking at the items available for redemption.
"I just checked, and currently the edible plants that can be redeemed with points are potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and strawberries. And the strawberries aren't the improved variety from our Blue Star."
"Would it be better if we developed new varieties or continued with these four categories?"
He Junlin asked
"I think we should start by getting the same varieties as them, but we can choose those that are better than what we have here. For example, for sweet potatoes, we can choose yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, which are sweet and have a delicate texture."
You can choose strawberries developed in our Longyuan Town; they are large, sweet, and have a strong fruity flavor.
You can also choose our Longyuan Jade Cabbage, which can be eaten raw; it has a delicate fragrance and a slightly sweet taste.
Yufei recommended the agricultural products from her Longyuan Town, jokingly saying that their vegetables and fruits were now popular all over the country.
Orders are exceeding supply!
"That's a good idea. I think in addition to the four categories they have, we can also introduce some new fruits and vegetables. We can start by using the four categories they are familiar with to open up the market."
They're more willing to accept new things then; we can sell our new ones at a higher price later.
Cui Yu'an was very familiar with the vegetables and fruits of Longyuan Town, so he was confident that their produce could absolutely crush the world.
After discussing and reaching an agreement, everyone began to take action.
Oh, and most importantly, He Junlin has started taking action. Finding the ghost market is still a bit more difficult for him than for them.
This is Yufei's third trip back to Daxia during this period. The reason is simple: she asked Uncle Li to mobilize people at the base to dig nearly 10 tons of soil for her near the base.
Put it back into the dimensional pocket
