Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 689: The first civilization crisis

Lao Yang explained on the stage: "Yes, everyone guessed that the virus sample created by the fifth-level civilization is a bargaining chip they proposed. The other party is so swearing, it shouldn't be fabricated indiscriminately. But I really have this stuff in my hands."

The Green Star civilization has disappeared, but the scientific and technological heritage of this fifth-level civilization is still in this world, and everyone can't help but raise their attention.

Through a virus, it may be possible to crack more mysteries about life.

Lao Yang continued: "...This kind of virus can't be said to be a completely indiscriminate infection, but many animals on Karina have been recruited. The creatures on the same planet always have genetic material. There is a large degree of similarity, aren’t human genes similar to Paramecium? By the same token, most of the creatures on the hemisphere are infected..."

"But this virus may not be able to infect humans, because the species on two different planets are quite different."

"...If the two sides cooperate in an all-round way, hemispheric civilizations can provide virus samples in this area for joint research."

Biological samples created by the fifth-level civilization. Several experts specializing in biology showed interest.

The gene virus originating from the fifth-level civilization can be regarded as a killer of the hemispheric civilization, but the other party did not hide it, but directly and transparently said it, indicating that it has no intention of using it against humans.

This has won everyone's favor.

Of course, even if hemispheres secretly use this virus on humans, humans will not necessarily be caught. Because with careful preparation, the other party did not obtain the human genetic code. And people are well prepared for defensive measures in this area.

One of the experts said: "The virus is dangerous, but it is indeed valuable for research. As long as the security is properly controlled, there should be no problem. We are already a fourth-level civilization, and can be To conduct research to further enhance biotechnology and improve the prevention and control capabilities in this area."

Zhang Yuan frowned and said: "Don't take it lightly...I'm thinking, how did the hemispheres get infected in the first place? Are you so careless in the face of an unknown virus?"

"They all know that the lives of the First Era were killed by a virus, how could this virus be released."

A deputy captain shook his head: "Lao Zhang, what era do you want to see? It is equivalent to our end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century! In that era, more explorers died. , The original hemisphere civilization was in the archeological frenzy, and encountered scientific relics, where can we manage so much?"

"Their technology is underdeveloped. Couldn't they go to the North and South poles in their full-suited spacesuits? They will open the museum as soon as it opens. Moreover, I seriously suspect that when the people in the hemisphere are digging the glacier, Has been infected with a mutated virus."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan accepted this statement.

"And what about the rest of history?"

"Next, after the resurrection of the alien virus, a terrible plague was born!" Lao Yang saw that the people in the audience listened very carefully, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment as a teacher.

He went on to say: "...The original perfect virus is very mild, highly infectious, but has no obvious symptoms. It will only destroy the reproductive cells of life and prevent life from reproducing."

"But now it has begun to mutate at a terrifying rate. It has infected all kinds of creatures, and a large number of creatures can no longer reproduce! And this kind of mutation has become more and more widespread, and various complications have appeared. Animals and plants have begun to grow. Mass death."

"These complications have successfully attracted the attention of hemispheric civilizations."

They suddenly realized that those **** viruses that have wiped out many people have been resurrected!

And also infected the people of their hemisphere!

Hemisphere civilization once wanted to control the spread of the virus, but most organisms will be infected with this virus, but some symptoms are obvious, some are not so obvious. These animals run around and birds fly around. All the places they went have become epidemic areas, and the seas, land, and lakes have all appeared plagues. How can they be controlled?

So, the hemisphere civilization, like the multisphere civilization, fell into a more desperate situation...

This is the first time their entire civilization has encountered a huge crisis!

Lao Yang didn't sell the key, and directly stated the final solution: "The world enters the doomsday mode, the social order collapses immediately, and the population is rapidly declining. Only some scientists are still working hard."

Scientists in the hemisphere civilization have discovered in research that their nervous system, not knowing what is going on, has not been infected by the virus. These extraterrestrial viruses cannot enter nerve cells and use free nucleotides to assemble, which may be related to the membrane structure of nerve cells.

"So in the end, in order to survive, they turned themselves into this kind of brain-in-tank bionics model... Although it is weird, it is alive anyway. And it is with the help of the first era. The research results of global civilization."

"So that's it! Understood!" Zhang Yuan sighed for a long time. Normal civilization would not make himself like this, but in desperate circumstances, in order to survive, there is no way, who will let science and technology But off, can't solve this problem?

The problem of survival is temporarily solved, and the next thing is about the reproduction of species. There is no way to reproduce with a brain.

The average life span of a man in the hemisphere is about 120 years old. Although the brain-in-tank model can increase life expectancy a lot, if there is no next generation, sooner or later, they will be extinct.

There are some uninfected germ cells in the biological gene bank, which are well preserved. But normal living organisms will soon be re-infected in this virus-filled environment, so they will eventually become the "brain in the tank" to survive...

If the germ cells in the gene bank are used up, hemispheric civilization will still go extinct.

"So, in order to reduce the trouble, the Hemispheres have developed a special cloning technique. This cloning technique is like 3D organ printing, which can directly'print out' the brain of a newborn! In other words, a new born In addition to the brain, the baby has no other organs. It has to use bionic organs to survive..."

"You think, since the heart, liver, kidneys and other organs can be cloned with organs...then the brain is also theoretically possible."

Hearing this, a scientist asked: "Hemispheres have this kind of technology? This kind of technology is still very difficult, right?"

Lao Yang smiled bitterly: "Their biotechnology ~IndoMTL.com~ just barely passed. Mainly because the multi-sphere civilization of the first era has been frantically researching this type of technology, but the multi-sphere civilization did not If it is completely resolved, it will be directly extinct. It was not until the second era that hemispheric civilizations perfected these technologies before they could barely use them."

"The culture of applauding as soon as they are happy is probably because the technology at that time was so bad that it was left behind."

Someone asked: "Wait a minute, I have a question. Why don't they create an artificial sterile area to cultivate normal infants and young children?"

Yang Fan shook his head: "Your idea is very good, but it is not realistic to implement it. At that time, the hemisphere talents were barely 0.9 level civilization, and the productivity is not like ours now."

"Raising the children of the next generation requires a population of at least several million or even tens of millions. These children have a lot of material needs for food and clothing."

"When the outside world is full of viruses, how big a sterile area they need to build to meet such a large demand... The social system has collapsed, and it will never be the same as before."
