Folk black technology boss

In conference room No. 1, after Li Zhou told all the life science researchers on site in the same way all the data Wei Xi told him, they also realized the seriousness of the matter without Li Zhou's words!

Not to mention life science researchers like them, even if you find a random high school student on a spaceship and ask what a 0% birth rate means, the high school student can give a rough answer.

0% birth rate! This means that there has been no birth rate for three months. What is even more frightening is another set of data next to it!

In the past thirteen months since humans boarded the spacecraft, no one on the spacecraft has successfully become pregnant.

That cold data made everyone in Conference Room 1 feel cold in their hands and feet.

No wonder, the captain opened the highest-level conference room No. 1!

Within a few hundred years, humans on board the spacecraft can still rely on telomere repair enzymes to extend their lives, but what about a few hundred years from now?

At this time, a young man who looked very young stood up.

"Captain, I want to know if this situation is only happening to our spaceship or if it is happening to all spaceships. This is very important!" Zhao Anming said when he said the word "vital" , the tone was obviously three points heavier.

Through the conditions on other spacecrafts, many factors that lead to a zero birth rate can be eliminated.

Unfortunately, Li Zhou's answer made everyone frown.

"Mr. Zhao, as soon as I discovered the problem, I already notified other spaceships. It is expected that the news will be received soon."

With the speed of electromagnetic waves propagating at the speed of light in a vacuum, other spacecraft should have received the message, even the Noah's Ark 1 spacecraft rushing at the front.

"Boss, I just received a reply from the Noah's Ark 100 spaceship. They also have the same problem and are holding an emergency meeting."

"Wait a minute...the other spaceships have also responded, and they all have the same phenomenon!"

In the silent conference room No. 1, Weixi suddenly spoke up, pouring cold water on everyone, and their hearts felt cold.

"Is it because humans have undergone genetic mutations in the space environment?"

"Impossible! If it is a genetic mutation, it is impossible for all humans on the spacecraft to be unable to conceive naturally! I think everyone knows that genetic mutations are diverse and non-directional! How is it possible that all 9.5 million people have the genetic mutation? Mutation, and it happens that everyone has a genetic mutation in the same gene segment in the same direction?”

No one answered the colleague's rebuttal because what he said was true.

But what exactly causes the inability to conceive naturally?

Everyone was puzzled.

Li Zhou, who has always suspected that he and Xu Xiaojing were reproductively isolated, expressed his thoughts.

"Everyone, is it because of evolution? That has led to reproductive isolation in humans?"

"I think everyone should know that there is reproductive isolation between different species. If humans step into space from the moment, the space environment has prompted humans to start evolving."

evolution? Reproductive isolation?

For a time, the words "evolution" and "reproductive isolation" kept echoing in the minds of all researchers.

What is reproductive isolation? Reproductive isolation refers to the isolation mechanism that due to various reasons, groups with close genetic relationships do not mate under natural conditions, and even if they can mate, they cannot produce offspring or cannot produce fertile offspring. This is called reproductive isolation.

There are many conditions in nature that can lead to natural isolation. In theory, it seems... it seems to make sense.

Among them, the familiar mule is the best example.

Looking at a group of researchers who lowered their heads and said nothing, Li Zhou knocked on the conference table.

"Everyone, no matter what the reason is, there are a few things we must do now!"

"First! If natural conception doesn't work, then try artificial insemination and see if in vitro fertilization, which was originally feasible in Blue Star, can still work. If it can, then everyone will be happy."

"Second! Take the sperm and eggs stored in the gene bank and try artificial insemination to see if the result is the same as the first one."

"Third! Redraw the human genetic map and compare it with the original genetic map to see what changes have occurred and whether humans have really evolved in order to adapt to the new environment after being in space for a long time."

"Fourth! We have to prepare for the worst. If humans on the spacecraft are no longer able to give birth to newborns, what should we do? First of all, the research progress of the dormant cabin must be accelerated, and resources can be appropriately allocated. Secondly, Accelerate research to create a complete telomere repair enzyme."

"Finally! In order to avoid causing panic to everyone on the spacecraft, this matter is temporarily kept confidential. Even your family members are not allowed to tell it until you get permission."

Li Zhou glanced sharply at everyone in the conference room.

"If someone leaks the news, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Anyone who destroys the stability on the spacecraft will definitely be regarded as an enemy by Li Zhou.

"Now, immediately, immediately, go back and conduct experiments according to what I said, and find out the reason! Dismissal!"

After everyone in the conference room left, Li Zhou sighed and rubbed his temples on both sides of his forehead to relieve fatigue.

Meetings were also being held on other spaceships, but the difference was that there were quarrels in the conference rooms on other spaceships.

Especially when there are multiple national forces on the same spaceship, the debate becomes even more intense.

It can be vaguely seen that factions have formed in the conference room.

The resources on the spaceship are limited, who doesn’t want to share more? Especially when the captain of the spaceship is not from his own country, this idea becomes even more intense.

In the eyes of these people, no matter what the captain does, it is always unfair.

However, no one seems to have noticed this dangerous phenomenon.

One month!

In this month, Noah's Ark 60 spacecraft has conducted experiments again and again, completing one argument after another, and the reasons for the zero birth rate have been looming.

Everyone actually already has the answer in their hearts, but everyone is waiting! Waiting for the latest genetic map to be released!

Another month has passed, and everyone is still waiting for the latest genetic map.

Finally, on the last day of the month, a brand new genetic map came out.

Li Zhou frowned and looked at Mr. Zhao, "Mr. Zhao, you mean that the latest genetic map shows that our genes have not changed, but 0.1% of the genes that were not originally expressed began to express after humans left Blue Star. Already?"

Zhao Anming, who is ninety-six years old and still looks like a handsome young man, nodded.

"Yes, it's not entirely true, because we found that the number of genes that were originally not expressed in each person's body is not exactly the same. This is also the reason why the birth rate is zero. We speculate that as long as everyone has all these genes" "After he wakes up, there will be no isolation."

"wake?"

Zhao Anming nodded, "We suspect that all the genes in our human body are useful, but the conditions were not met before, so most of the genes were not expressed."

"Gene lock?" Li Zhou blurted out in surprise.
