Homo sapiens.

The first year of Xinghe, October 9th.

Li Qingye arrived at the loyal Atlon Oasis City.

Su Qixi, who was in charge of the secret project, brought Li Qingye to the design studio and introduced him to the designers and engineers present.

Li Qingye also encouraged them.

"Chairman, this is the design drawing of Pangu Project." Su Qixi said while manipulating the holographic projection equipment to project the design model.

The average altitude of the northern part of the Darfur Plateau is about 600-700 meters.

And this underground cavity area with a diameter of 500 kilometers requires an internal cavity height of 600 meters, plus various structural layers, protective layers, barrier layers, etc., the overall thickness should be about [-] meters.

"In order to ensure that the upper layer has more than 200 meters of stratum coverage, we plan to dig down, probably to an altitude of minus 150 meters, as the foundation of this base."

While listening, Li Qingye flipped through the details of each system designed by Su Qixi's team.

This project is called "Pangu Project".

As the name suggests, the reason why Li Qingye promotes this project is to create an independent ecological circle, and then put in various genetically modified organisms to conduct ecological simulation tests.

Why build such a huge base, dedicated to testing genetically modified organisms?
Can't ordinary biological laboratories test it?

The answer is no.

Ordinary biological laboratories are limited by space and safety, and there is no way to fully test the various conditions of genetically modified organisms in the natural environment.

But it is impossible for Li Qingye to throw genetically modified organisms into the natural environment casually.

The previous plastic fungus had a certain risk, and it was Li Qingye who made a special move and inserted various restriction genes, so it didn't really evolve into a devastating disaster.

Therefore, Li Qingye urgently needs a large-scale independent ecosphere laboratory for testing various genetically modified organisms.

He wants to use environmental pressure and a relatively complete ecological circle to see whether various organisms recombined with genes can break through the limitations of genes and evolve unique new life forms.

This is the origin of the Pangu project.

Li Qingye is advancing towards the realm of the Creator.

The evolution rate of human beings is too slow nowadays, and the body has become the biggest limitation for human beings to go to the stars.

Some time ago, in the pseudo-gravity experiment of the Homo sapiens space station, although the pseudo-gravity equivalent to 1G was successfully produced, the gradient force difference generated by the centrifugal force still made the astronauts uncomfortable.

In order to solve the centrifugal force gradient difference, the next step of the Homo sapiens space station is to increase the radius of the space station from 200 meters to 500 meters, or even 1000 meters, to test the influence of the centrifugal force gradient.

All this is because the human body is too poor.

Without ways to enhance the human body, the idea of ​​human civilization to open up living space in outer space is just a beautiful and fragile soap bubble.

To get out of the comfort zone of the mother star and move towards a harsher starry sky, human beings need a stronger and more comprehensive body.

What's more, the Pangu project is not only for the purpose of enabling human beings to adapt to outer space, but also for a deeper purpose. In fact, it also contains Li Qingye's selfishness - that is, to further extend the length of life.

If possible, he also wants to see the vast starry sky beyond the solar system.

The Pangu Project entrusted many of Li Qingye's thoughts and expectations.

Therefore, he has no hesitation in building such a huge artificial ecosystem, but intends to go all out to promote it.

He flipped through the content of the security system, Li Qingye attached great importance to the security system of this base, no matter whether it was external defense or internal defense, there was no room for sloppy.

Because in the future, the Pangu Project will inject a large number of genetically modified organisms into this artificial ecosystem, and there must be some extremely dangerous organisms among them.

Without a good security system, if the creatures in it leak out, it will be a huge ecological disaster.

This is why the Pangu Project will be built in the northern part of the Darfur Plateau.

Because the northern part of the Darfur Plateau is surrounded by deserts and Gobi Desert.

Only in this kind of place did Li Qingye dare to ask someone to add a hydrogen bomb to it as the last self-destruct device. Once the entire base is out of control, the self-destruct device can completely purify the entire base.

For this reason, Li Qingye also specially asked the nuclear factory to produce a batch of 1000-ton equivalent hydrogen bombs. These hydrogen bombs will be densely arranged in all directions of the Pangu Project, completely blocking the possibility of internal leakage of biological experiments.

After all, he is for scientific research, not for self-destruction.

Li Qingye raised his head: "The security measures are not enough. For example, the pipelines connecting the Pangu Realm have huge security risks. It is best to keep only one external channel from the Pangu Realm, and cancel the other channels first."

"Mr. Chairman, but doing so will cause problems with the internal water circulation and heat circulation." The safety engineering designer Kraft looked a little embarrassed.

Li Qingye waved his hand: "Then add an internal water circulation auxiliary system so that the heat circulation can be done in a non-contact way."

Seemingly aware of the firmness in Li Qingye's words, Kraft could only bite the bullet and nod: "Okay! I will adjust the design plan as soon as possible."

"In addition, the only channel must be specially designed to ensure that it is safe."

After more than half an hour of communication, Li Qingye and a group of designers and engineers revised the details several times before finalizing a preliminary plan.

Including the internal planning of the Pan Gu world that had not been determined before, the first draft was also completed.

The Pangu Realm will be divided into five regions, with Buzhou Mountain in the middle, Canghai in the east, Qingqiu in the west, rainforest in the south, and wasteland in the north.

These five regions represent five relatively independent small ecological circles, and at the same time, they will influence each other.

In this area of ​​nearly 1 square kilometers, a large number of genetically modified organisms will be put into the future, and these organisms will compete with the existing protists.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

He is very much looking forward to the birth of some brand new creatures in the Pan Gu world.

The real meaning of this experiment, which seems to be opening a blind box, lies in the infinite possibilities of life.

Human gene technology has been able to precisely customize some organisms, but at this stage there is still no way to "evolve human genes".

Whether it is genetically modified technology, gene editing technology, or gene recombination technology, they are all using the genes already in nature.

True evolution is by no means a patchwork of genes, but that genes can naturally mutate according to environmental pressure.

However, the difficulty of natural mutation is too great, but in the mutation process, 90% of the mutations are harmful.

This is the meaning of the Pangu project.

During this process, Li Qingye can use various environmental pressures and other creatures in the ecosystem to force some genetically recombined creatures to mutate wildly.

As long as there are enough mutations, some valuable new genes will always be mutated.

Perhaps the hope of human beings going to the starry sky, or immortality, is hidden in those base pairs.

Li Qingye even planned to use the building wood factor that had never been used to create some relatively powerful genetically recombined organisms, and put them into the Pan Gu world.

He believes that life has infinite possibilities, and the key to human evolution must be that there is no way to achieve earth-shaking changes through known genes.

Now he was going to find the key.
