Chapter 731 It’s Not Us
Als got off the spaceship the next day with good news.
As expected, they detected the genes of the Octobans and the fused companion stone elements in the genes of Lin Fan and Antonio.
Lin Fan didn't know how Antonio felt. She only felt that the world was more mysterious.
“Wait a minute.” She took the initiative to pull Als’s tentacles, “Aren’t you genderless? How can you still inherit genes from Lanxing people?”
As we all know, the genes of Lanxing creatures are inherited through direct inheritance, while the genes of Octopus people are inherited by concentration. There is a huge difference between the two. How did their genes get into their bodies?
Is it also using mental concentration to inject the body as part of the energy into the body of the Lanxing people and graft the genes? Or use unspeakable methods?
Lin Fan could not help but think of all kinds of things about the Eighteen Forbidden Tentacle Monsters, and he felt that he was no longer pure. The hand touching Als suddenly retracted as if it had been burned, and he put it behind his back and rubbed it vigorously.
“This is also what we are curious about.” Als had no idea that Lin Fan’s mind was already in a mess. “You should know that species differences will lead to the isolation of life and death. Although in the interstellar world, Because many higher life forms belong to the same evolutionary source and due to later evolution, quite a few can ignore the isolation, but obviously the isolation between us still exists.”
As I said before, animals like octopuses are different from each other. Mammals belong to two completely different branches of evolution.
Not to mention that the octopus people are already at the pinnacle of the fourth-level civilization and may break certain isolation barriers and reproduce across species. As far as their current genderless energy body state is concerned, leaving genes in other species will not change the characteristics of the original species. , which is quite nonsense.
And it’s from the Lanxing people who haven’t even reached the first level of civilization.
No insult is intended, but the civilization level of Lanxing is really too low. It is so low that if they were not attracted by the energy of the black hole, they would not make this trip.
Of course, there are mistakes.
When they saw the two mecha men, they were still surprised. When they found out that these two men still carried the genes of their own race, both the three people on the Blue Star and the others on the big ship were all surprised. Very surprised.
Not to mention how their genes entered the Lanxing people's bodies, just by looking at the proportion of the gene chain that was diluted to almost zero, they could clearly judge that this opportunity occurred a long time ago.
At first, they guessed that other Octobos people had come to Lanxing earlier. Not only did they leave behind genes, they also left behind companion stones.
Otherwise, purebred Octopus would not be able to transform into an armed form just by having genes.
There are only a few Octobos spaceships that can sail outside. Although they are traveling in space, they cannot keep in touch at all times. They don’t know where other people are roaming, but people on the same planet Their thoughts are not too different, so why would they stay in the inconspicuous Lanxing?
Like them, this time they were attracted by the energy of the black hole to check it out. You can't have a remote star like Blue Star with a black hole appearing nearby every now and then, right?
They had carefully observed during the voyage that this was a very safe galaxy for lower civilizations. The storm clouds and wormhole attacks in the universe seemed to have nothing to do with this comfortable place.
Reminiscent of the Nuwa they were talking about, the Oktebos people unanimously felt that this location was a "brooding test site" specially selected by the superior civilization. It is not a matter of whether to breed in captivity or not, but it is too safe and comfortable. , so the Lanxing people have no sense of crisis at all, which is why they have developed technology for thousands of years and cannot talk about it. They were unlucky enough to be beaten by the Zerg a while ago.
Moreover, the genes they detected are also different from the genes of the current Octobos people, and are more like ancient genes.
"What? Ancient genes?" Antonio seemed to have no worries about Lin Fan at all, holding on to Als's hand.
"Yeah, look." Als turned his big head and saw Ah Yi behind him. One of his tentacles rolled inward, reaching to the center of the base of the tentacle, probably where the mouth was, and took it out. A small black box comes out.
The box was not big, just about the size of Lin Fan's hand.
The tip of Ha Yi's huge tentacles flexibly rolled up the not-so-thick thing to reveal a flat surface, and the other tentacles flexibly clicked on it. Soon, a picture was projected in front of several people.
The picture looks like a projection without the curtain, but it is fixed in mid-air, with a transparent background. The content can be seen clearly from behind, but it is just a mirror image. Just like the scene in the movie.
"Oh my god~" Antonio's voice trembled with excitement, "This is high technology."
Lin Fan reached out and touched it, and his hand passed through the screen.
It seems that this is just a simple projection, unlike the projection she encountered on the shuttle before, which can be controlled by touch.
So the technology in the shuttle is more advanced? She took her hand back and guessed in her mind.
“Look at this.” Als didn’t think this was something surprising, and stretched out a tentacle to point on the screen, “After we detected the genetic components yesterday, we wanted to trace the source of the genes, but we couldn’t. I found that the genetic map in your body is different from the genetic map in our bodies."
Lin Fan opened his eyes wide and looked hard, but he could only see dots of red, blue and blue, which seemed to have something she couldn't explain. They are arranged in a regular pattern, and if you look carefully, your eyes will start to feel dizzy. No, she has trypophobia.
Covering his eyes with one hand and taking two steps back, Lin Fan gave up exploring.
Als was still explaining to the pictures, while Hajime turned the pages for him beside him. In addition to pictures, there are also large symbols, probably the words of the octopus man.
Cen Fangyuan smiled and listened happily to Als, as if he really understood what he said.
But he doesn’t understand, there is always someone who can.
The biologist in the main control room had already jumped up from his chair and rushed to the monitor to look at it. He wanted to go through the screen and communicate with Als face to face.
"We carefully compared the genetic evolution map of this planet and found that the genes they carried were sequences from the early stages of our evolution. At that time, associated stone mines had not yet been discovered, and we did not have the ability to roam in space, so this gene is not from those of us in "Left by people exploring outside."
Uh... This is like telling others that the child is his, but he did nothing.
“And their genes belonging to Octopus are very diluted, and we may not be able to find them if we don’t search for them purposefully. This level of occupancy has been iterated for at least dozens of generations. , I don’t know how many people on your Lan planet carry such genes, but if they are the same batch of receptors, there shouldn’t be too many.”
Als shook his hand to Lin Fan, “Maybe some. I'm sorry, but can you take a sample from your descendants to compare the test results? We suspect that the Octopus gene may not be found in your next generation's genes."
Lin. Fan was stunned and scratched his head.
She has no descendants...
Looking at Antonio, he grinned and said, "Neither do I."
Als was also stunned after receiving the reply. He seemed a little confused and thought for a moment before speaking. "If I remember correctly, you are thirty-nine years old."
"Yes." Lin Fan answered without any burden on his eighteen-year-old face.
Since the mecha state was removed yesterday, the topic Octopus Man chatted with them has switched from Lanxing Civilization to her and Antonio.
"Are you thirty-five?" he asked Antonio, who was holding his hand on the other side.
“Yes!” Antonio, who looked like he was in his twenties, still grinned.
Als blinked his mung bean eyes, looking a little confused, and asked Cen Fangyuan.
“Isn’t the optimal breeding age for you Lanxing people between twenty-five and thirty-five? The age group above thirty is beyond the eugenics age group, and the breeding rate plummets over the age of forty. How come they are so good? "
Cen Fangyuan never thought that one day he would be able to discuss the population growth of Lanxing with aliens. Thinking that the fertility rate has continued to decline in recent years, my face became bitter and I sighed from the bottom of my heart.
"Hey~ young people nowadays don't like to get married and have children. It's so difficult..."
Well, this is the truth.
Lin Fan has the octopus gene in his body. Although it is rare, it is there. So he was poked in the head by 818, the companion stone of Octopus Man. When the blood cells came into contact with 818, they fused and transformed into a mecha.
So her mecha penetrates through the joints, because the octopus man's mecha comes out from the suction cup mouth. As humans, they can only come out from the joints, and there is nothing they can do about the pain. This is the price of forced escalation of species differences.
This setting was set when I first wrote about the mecha coming out of the flesh. It’s so easy to say it now. It's not easy.
The current situation is that the octopus gene in Lin Fan's body was not left by the octopus people. Can you guys guess where it came from? whee.
