Interstellar leader

Chapter 45 Gene Box

Li Qing was dragged all the way by Gaia, and came to a gray room, which was in the shape of a standard cube, five meters square, with silver circuits crossing it, outlining regular lines.

On the side facing Li Qing, at the bottom, there is a small door. Gaia put her left hand on it, and it opened quietly.

The extremely powerful robot threw Li Qing into it, and it acted violently, which made Li Qing wonder if there was something wrong with her first command.

"Gaia?" Li Qing got up from the ground, the cold touch of the stone penetrated from his skin to his spine.

"I know you want to ask a lot of questions. I need a certain amount of time to prepare, so you can ask." Gaia said in standard Chinese. "Understand?" She took the only lab coat hanging on the white and smooth wall, and put it on outside her black tights.

"Where is the earth?" After not using it for a long time, Li Qing's Chinese seemed a bit jerky.He didn't really want to hear the answer, but he had to ask.

"It's in the solar system." Gaia pressed the combination lock quickly, making a beeping sound, and the seamless wall on the opposite side split from the middle, revealing a row of shiny test tubes filled with colorful reagents. Dizziness label.

She began to process the selection of those test tubes. "Can't you see that bit of scum?"

Li Qing's pupils shrank obviously. "You mean, that small, weird cloud of matter? I thought..."

Gaia interrupted him. "You can't believe the Earth has been destroyed?"

"Who did it?"

"War." Gaia turned her head, and that mechanical, weird smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again. "The War Between Man and Spaceman."

"Spaceman?" Li Qing suddenly had an ominous premonition about what she was going to say next.

Gaia held up a test tube and looked at it against the soft white light, seemingly indifferent.

"You all know that the era of interstellar navigation began 2000 years ago. According to the lost AD, it should be around 2020 AD."

2020 AD?According to Li Qing's understanding, it is absolutely impossible for his world to enter the era of interstellar navigation in this year, so what he came to should be a parallel time and space.

"When humans did not discover the leap phenomenon, they relied on hibernation for navigation. The range that the spaceship could reach was not large, and the cosmic environment also had strict requirements on the human body's physical fitness—even if the leap phenomenon was discovered, if humans wanted to colonize and transform, Must adapt to wider environmental conditions.

"At this time, a talented biochemist appeared among the human beings. She studied the space environment and human genes, and successfully invented a series of medicines that made human beings suitable for interstellar travel. Later, she became the leader of the 'Space Alliance'. The founding emperor of the Star Empire." There was a trace of nostalgia in Gaia's inorganic eyes.

"Successively, all the interstellar colonists have received genetic modification to extend their lifespan, resist radiation, and tolerate a wider range of temperature... Not long after, the jump was also discovered, and everything seemed to be on the right track. All People rejoice until one day, they discover—”

Li Qing didn't speak, Gaia stared at him firmly, a shudder rose from his back and ran all the way to the back of his neck.

Gaia continued in her calm, rigid voice: "All the genetically modified colonists, and the humans on Earth arose—"

The next words exploded in Li Qing's mind like a thunderbolt.

"Reproductive isolation," Gaia said grimly.

Li Qing's eyes went blank for two seconds, and he raised his hand with difficulty, pointing at himself. "Then I..." His voice trembled.

"That's right." Gaia nodded, expressionless.

"You're not human, none of you—you're, 'spacemen.'"

"Due to the need for communication during interstellar colonization, space people have established their own language system, a hodgepodge of earth languages, mainly referring to the six official languages ​​of the United Nations, especially English and Chinese. That is the early interstellar lingua franca."

Gaia put the adjusted reagents into the analyzer for testing, and continued to explain: "A different intelligent species has its own language, culture and flourishing technology. It is conceivable that the people on earth began to panic. .”

Her voice was still dull, but Li Qing could hear the sarcasm from the content.

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart. Is this what humans have said? You who come from the same origin as them, and now call yourself 'human', probably agree with this sentence.

"The panicked Earthlings began to control the astronauts' resources, not allowing them to return to Earth, and many conflicts broke out. The astronauts no longer trusted their home planet."

"Now, you understand how the war started, and how did the earth disappear? In the crazy species war, it is not surprising that nuclear weapons or even antimatter weapons are used. The earth is just a small stone in the solar system, you guessed it How many times can it withstand antimatter weapons?"

Li Qing finally calmed down. "Humanity and the earth are destroyed together?"

"Of course. But you can't say that. After all, after the destruction of the historical materials of the Basdar family, the real human beings have all died, and there are no biological samples. Without genetic comparison, you astronauts now believe that you are human. —what a sarcasm.”

Li Qing understood why the Basdar family wanted to cover up the history of the earth. In fact, not only Basdar, the ruler, but all the early astronauts who knew the truth chose to remain silent.

The facts are too shocking, they choose to paralyze themselves and protect their offspring with blankness.And Basdar, who initiated this species war, destroyed all evidence.

Because the heinous crime they committed was to kill their own mother.

"As for the gene box, it was a major discovery made by the first emperor later. She used her own genes as a model to research and manufacture a gene transition reagent, but the experiment failed on her body. For this reason, she entrusted the government affairs to her My younger brother built this research institute on Mars and brought me here."

Gaia looked at the slowly rotating test tube in the instrument, and the analysis result was coming out soon.

"Before she died, she finally discovered that the prerequisite for this reagent to work is that there is a special sequence in the enhancer of the 'silent region' of the gene, which she named the 'key' sequence. The higher the degree of coincidence, the greater the probability of successful transition. And you, the degree of coincidence with this series of theoretical sequences is close to [-]%."

"What was the name of the first emperor?" Li Qing was curious.In the records of the history books of the galaxy, only words such as Basdar I are used to name them.

"Monica Basdar, this is her Interstellar Common Language name. But I still prefer to call her by her original Chinese name——Li Chen."

Li Qing's pupils suddenly narrowed violently.Li Chen? !

Regardless of the horrified expression on Li Qing's face, Gaia continued: "She also has a younger brother who is also outstanding, the actual inventor of the space jump technology, a genius physicist, and the second emperor of Basdar - I also like it very much. His Chinese name."

"Li Qing."

This is a parallel world.Li Qing reminded himself, but he still felt so absurd, as if he was living in a dream.

His Lujiazui elite sister turned into a biologist, while he himself went into physics, and the two of them destroyed all human beings.

It was like a ridiculous farce.But it really happened, and only these can explain everything.

Li Qing may not care that he and his sister destroyed all mankind in this parallel world, but he knows that there is also a United Nations in this time and space, and everything is not much different from his world, so one conclusion can be drawn - no matter which parallel time and space, the trajectory of history Mostly the same.

"You look surprised." Gaia was sterilizing the infusion set for the final time, and the thin silver needle was shining coldly under the lamp. "Lie down on the table." She pointed to an operating table next to her.

Li Qing lay down obediently. Unlike its appearance, this white operating table was smooth and soft to the touch, but a bit cold.

"About 10 minutes. At most, you will feel fever all over your body. This is what Li Chen told me." Gaia inserted the needle into Li Qing's blood vessel, and quickly pressed the delivery button on the instrument next to her.

Li Qing felt a burst of heat rushing into his veins, the burning sensation was so clear, like a twisted rope, that he knew the input speed without looking at the display screen.

The medicine was like a slender snake, immersed in his blood plasma, flowing into every corner of his body with every beat of his heart.Complicated organic molecules seemed to be intelligent, passing through one layer after another of cell membranes, drilling into the nuclear membrane, breaking up the proteins of the chromosomes, and attaching to his "key" sequence.

The chain reaction started, his dna long chain was like a series of long ladders that fell apart, one after another, there were scattered base pairs everywhere, met the drug molecule as a medium, as if he knew how to do it Yes, they swam to another place, wriggling and connecting together like living insects.

Li Qing felt that his whole body was about to burn, and he suspected that he was thrown into the magma.In the next second, severe pain from the depths of the cells struck.This kind of pain exceeds the limits of the human body, surpassing all known pain sensations. Every cell is shutting down, every tissue is clamoring, and every organ is sending out alarms.

"Ah—" he screamed uncontrollably, and his vocal cords couldn't work normally, because the cells there were also undergoing segregation and reorganization.The second half of the sentence was hoarse in his throat, which seemed particularly terrifying.

"How did this happen?" Gaia stood up from the chair, Li Qing's expression was so painful that even her robot panicked. "Li Chen said it wouldn't be painful?"

"Isaac, Isaac? Stay awake! Be sure to stay awake!!" she shouted, as if Li Qing could hear her. "Coma is death! Stay awake!"

Li Qing felt that he couldn't wake up, he was so painful that he lost consciousness, Gaia's voice seemed to come from a distant cloud.His vision went dark and his vision disappeared.

Lysosomes are constantly phagocytizing, and cells are frantically transporting new proteins. In some places, cells are disappearing, and in some places, they are dividing and growing at a terrifying speed.

In the darkness, his only feeling was pain, and time seemed to be elongated. He was like a drowning man with burning lungs, tied to a pile of stones, and quickly sank into the deep sea, as if death was the only relief.

It hurts so much.For a moment, he thought he was dead.

"Isaac!" Gaia on the side was completely anxious. "stay awake!!"

Li Qing almost lost consciousness.

Gaia suddenly remembered that a human psychology book said that in order to maintain a person's consciousness, he must keep thinking.She didn't know how the human brain really worked, but thought it might be worth trying.

"How many years is this year in the interstellar calendar? Answer me!"

The man on the operating table didn't respond.His body had stopped shaking in pain, and his appearance was still changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There is no doubt that the gene jump was successful.But once he loses consciousness, after the whole process is completed, he will become a vegetable, and everything will be meaningless.

"How many letters are there in English?"

Still no response.

Gaia continued, the word "despair" was not in the robot's dictionary. "What is the natural logarithm e?"

Li Qing was hovering on the verge of coma, Gaia's faint voice could be heard in his ears.He hears it, but his brain refuses to function, refuses to answer, because it too hurts him desperately.Until he hears a familiar word, without even realizing what the word is, his brain responds almost instinctively.

"2.718281828459..."

He answered!Almost non-stop, Gaia asked the next question: "3648 by 7254?"

Answers are almost instant. "26462592."

"Six fan shapes, four colors, different colors in adjacent areas, there are..."

"732 species." There was not a second's pause.

Gaia felt that she couldn't ask questions as fast as he could answer them.

"Write a program to solve the four-color problem!"

"Read in image, open source file, start mapping..."

……

Hearing is also gone.Li Qing seemed to be thrown alone in the boundless universe, without light, sound, or even touch.

He was floating alone in the dark background, there were no stars around him, it seemed that since the birth of the universe, he was the only creature in the world.The pain was still sweeping through his body, he couldn't bear it, he curled up, but the pain like maggots attached to the bone didn't ease much.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a brain, he can think.

He still has many unsolved problems, not only the micro-connection, but also the "Mobius" that has been lingering in his mind for many days. He wrote this beautiful logical chapter, but he doesn't know where it is used.

I can't die, he said silently, I absolutely can't die.

A series of programs appeared in front of his eyes, which were visualized ring programs.With a thought in Li Qing's mind, numbers and letters strung together into a rigorous and elegant logical chain, flying and bending in the void, forming a mysterious and beautiful ring.

input Output.His brain is working instead of a computer.

keep thinking.Be sure to keep thinking.

The robot Gaia is guarding Li Qing, and in order to test whether he is alive, she starts to scan the neuron activity in his brain.

She was amazed to discover that the neurons and connection endings in his brain were growing at a frightening rate.

The pain seemed to have disappeared a lot, and Li Qing felt that his thoughts became clearer and more relaxed.It's like climbing to the top of a mountain and looking down, those inseparable knots that were buried in the mist before, at this moment, reveal their truth.

Another Möbius ring appears, forming a Klein bottle with the previous one.It is a model that can be expanded infinitely in two dimensions in three-dimensional space.

Li Qing finally knew what the application of the ring program was.

2^(7^7) is an astronomical number that is impossible to decipher and is close to infinity, because it is converted into multiplication.If it is cracked at the "higher latitude" level, then the number of calculations is only - 98 times.

At this moment, the highest network security measure in the Galaxy, the so-called impeccable Chen's encryption, was cracked by Li Qing.
