cosmic hegemony

Chapter 559, Sand Ant Beast
Low-level genes, high-level genes, wisdom genes, and god genes, these are the four stages of biological gene evolution divided by imperial scientists. Imperial scientists have always been committed to finding god genes so that they can be fused into ordinary creatures In this way, ordinary creatures can also have all kinds of incredible abilities.

God genes are not uncommon, at least in the empire. The empire has a huge group of warriors with profound energy. Everyone has more or less evolved a part of their genes to the stage of god genes, especially after their cultivation reaches the immortal level. Even more powerful and terrifying.

However, the imperial law strictly forbids the use of human beings to conduct biological science experiments, and this is an order issued by Li Fu, so although the imperial scientists have been crazy, they have no choice.

Of course, there is another reason. The people with the deeper cultivation in the empire are often the high-level and elites of the empire. Naturally, it is impossible to use them as guinea pigs for experiments.

As for why Li Fu issued such an order, Li Fu naturally has his own thinking. From the civilization seeds of the super-civilized Han technological empire, Li Fu has seen many powerful civilizations, including some powerful biotechnology civilizations. After the development of biotechnology to a certain level, these powerful biotechnology civilizations have no scruples about genetically modifying and strengthening themselves.

In the end, the development went astray, and the female gene of the entire civilization was gradually lost in the long years of wanton transformation and strengthening. The entire civilization was often destroyed in its own hands, and many of them lost their ability to reproduce, and the population continued to decrease. , eventually to destruction.

The stronger the gene, the weaker the ability to reproduce. The higher the level of Yuanli cultivation, the more difficult it is to reproduce the next generation. Once you become immortal, it is almost impossible to reproduce the next generation.

Almost everyone will pursue their own strength and long lifespan. Once the Pandora's box of genetic enhancement is opened, no one will be willing to practice slowly. They will acquire all kinds of incredible powerful abilities in a short period of time through genetic enhancement. , once the entire empire is like this, then the empire will follow the old path of other biological civilizations.

This is also the reason why Li Fu has always strictly prohibited human experiments. From a long-term perspective, it is for the sake of the empire, so that the empire will not be destroyed because of the development of science and technology.

The naturally evolved female gene may be very weak, but the reproductive ability is strong, and one's own race can continue to multiply and grow, and through the cultivation of Yuanli, the citizens of the empire can continuously realize self-strengthening and progress, and there is no need to sacrifice everything. To carry out genetic enhancement will also bring huge risks.

In Li Shukuang's laboratory, Li Shukuang is hesitating at this time, whether to test the devil virus with the only surviving experimental body fused with the B1 gene of the mutated creature. In Li Shukuang's deduction, the B1 Genes are definitely an important reason why mutated creatures can withstand the devil virus.

"The ant beast is a kind of beast from the Potura civilization of the third-level cosmic civilization of Orion's spiral arm. Should we use more sand ant beasts to conduct experiments to see if they can all be fused with the B3 gene?"

When Li Shukang was hesitating, Li Fu walked out from that corner without knowing it.

"Ancestor."

When Li Shukuang saw it, he immediately said respectfully.

"Don't be too polite, I'm here to take a look this time, and I heard that your research has made new progress."

"It's not much progress. It's just that among the many experimental subjects, there is finally an experimental subject that can perfectly fuse the B1 gene. As for the B2 gene, there has been no progress."

Li Fu and Li Shukuang began to chat. Both of them are experts in the field of biological science research, and they have very deep attainments in the field of biotechnology.

With Li Fu's suggestion, Li Shukuang started a new experiment here, and at the same time used 1 sand ant beasts to conduct gene fusion experiments. The experiment was very successful. Among the 3 sand ant beasts, the B1 gene was finally successfully fused. More than [-]%, obviously, the Ant Beast's gene should be able to adapt well to the B[-] gene.

"The old ancestor is more experienced, so now he doesn't have any scruples at all, and can let go of all kinds of experiments."

Having obtained 3 successful experimental subjects, Li Shukuang was naturally ecstatic.

"Inject the devil virus!"

The first experiment was to test Li Fu's conjecture that the B1 gene was used to adapt to the devil virus.

Soon, following Li Shukuang's order, the mechanical arm began to inject the devil virus into 100 sand ant beasts. Although these sand ant beasts have the word "ant" like ants, they are naturally related to each other. The appearance of the Ant Beast is indeed similar to that of an ant, but the Ant Beast is an ant that has been magnified by an unknown amount. It is very large, with a length of several meters, and its bite force is amazing. On the mother planet of the Ant Ant Beast , the sand ant beast is a very powerful top-level creature.

The result of the experiment was exactly the same as what Li Shukuang deduced. The ant beasts with the B1 gene are not afraid of the devil virus at all, and carry antibodies against the devil virus in their bodies, while the sand ant beasts without the B1 gene are all resistant to the devil virus. The gene collapsed and died.

"Sure enough, as I deduced, the B1 gene is the gene used to immunize against the devil virus. Only sand ant beasts fused with the B1 gene can withstand the devil virus."

"It's just that the B1 gene didn't give the sand ant beast a powerful ability. It can even be said that apart from having the ability to be immune to the devil virus, it is no different from the sand ant beast that has not fused the B1 gene. It is equivalent to hitting an ant beast. It's like the demon virus immune vaccine."

"However, does using the B1 gene just gain the ability to be immune to the devil virus? Could it be related to the fusion of the B2 god gene?"

Thinking carefully in Li Shukuang's mind, all the experimental subjects who fused the B2 gene died, and none of them succeeded. Obviously, this must be inseparably connected with the B1 gene.

"Try to fuse the B2 gene into it."

Thinking in his mind, Li Fu quickly led his team to continue the research, and another ten years passed in a blink of an eye.

"It's unbelievable, unbelievable, it's really unbelievable that the B2 gene can be fused, and such a huge change has taken place!"

Li Fu looked at the experimental products in the huge laboratory, and he was ecstatic. He used three "unbelievable" to express his excitement. He tried to fuse the B2 gene into the sand ant beast all these years, and it was amazing. The ant beast that fused the B1 gene perfectly fused the B2 gene, and also produced a huge change, possessing powerful supernatural powers.

In the huge laboratory, a giant sand ant beast with a length of more than 500 meters, a width of 100 meters, and a height of more than 8 meters standing on 200 legs is crazily crashing into the laboratory. Every collision makes the entire space The city is constantly trembling. In the room made of degenerate materials, every impact of the giant ant beast can leave a deep dent. It can be seen how powerful the sand ant beast is. You must know that this is a simple Degenerate materials, and for safety reasons, the thickness of degenerate materials is several meters.

"Hey~"

A series of optical and magnetic traction beams shot out from all directions, trying to control the ant beast. The powerful optical and magnetic beams were like extremely tough ropes, restraining the ant beast. However, the sand ant beast did not give up struggling. The force is constantly pulling, and even the space seems to be trembling faintly.

Suddenly, the sand ant beast stopped struggling, and then Li Shukuang clearly felt a terrible breath erupting from the sand ant beast. This terrible breath is the same as when he faced the mutant creature. On the one hand, the mysterious and mysterious 'potential' reappeared.

"Clap~Clap~"

The magneto-optical traction beam that binds the sand ant beast began to break one after another under the action of powerful force. This has never happened before. Even mutant creatures that have also mastered the "potential" did not break free from the magneto-optical traction beam. However, the sand ant beast broke free, causing the optical magnetic traction beam to break like a rope.

"This, this, the muscles of ants are the most developed in nature. Ants can lift objects more than 400 times their own weight. Is this sand ant beast born with genes for strength?"

"This 'potential' is the mystery of power. Incorporating the B2 gene, the supernatural power possessed by the sand ant beast is hundreds of times stronger than that of mutant creatures. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to compete for the optical magnetic traction beam. That's the only explanation."

Li Shukang's eyes widened, and he began to think quickly in his mind.

"not good!"

But soon, Li Fu cried out in shock, because the sand ant beast wanted to rush out again because it broke free from the optical magnetic traction beam. The terrible impact made the entire space city tremble, and the thick degenerate state A huge hole appeared in the room made of materials, and another such impact was enough to rush out completely.

Once this sand ant beast rushes out, the consequences will be unimaginable. The entire huge space city may be wiped out by this sand ant beast, and there may be casualties.

"Woo~"

The sand ant beast made a loud noise, and its terrifying 'potential' caused ripples in the room, and then it slammed hard, ready to rush out.

"Humph~"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, and a powerful and terrifying aura appeared. Li Fu, who was also studying biotechnology in the space city, rushed over in time.

"Go to sleep!"

Li Fu's huge spiritual consciousness swept over the Sand Ant Beast, and his voice seemed to possess a spell. Just now, the Ant Beast was insane. The Ant Beast, who wanted to rush out, immediately calmed down gradually and fell into a deep sleep.
