my black technology library

The virtual meeting on genetic enhancement engineering lasted more than three hours.

Under Li Yi's leadership, the direction of research and development on gene enhancement was quickly unified.

From the many directions of gene enhancement technology, several fields with the highest feasibility were selected to increase research investment.

Gene enhancement agents and gene optimization editing technology are areas where the current research progress is relatively easy to produce results. Compared with genetic modification technology and gene mixing technology, it is more reliable in terms of safety.

Regarding genetic modification technology, many scientists are warning that this kind of research work contains terrifying dangers, such as creating terrible biochemical viruses like Biohazard, or evil human transformation, etc., the risk of unknown life.

Therefore, Li Yi also focused on strengthening the safety requirements for biochemical research, and placed the experiments of the genetic enhancement research project on the moon base.

The virtual conference room was closed, and Li Yi's eyes returned to the office.

At the meeting, although Li Yi specifically emphasized that he was going to increase the investment in the research and development of the genetic enhancement project, compared with the efficient research and development progress in other fields, there was still a problem that could not be ignored in the genetic enhancement project.

Without the reference of more advanced 'gene technology', the field of gene enhancement will be a long and complicated scientific research work.

Human beings have always been slaves of their own genome. It is a very dangerous thing to want to turn over and become the master of the gene and modify it at will.

Li Yi's eyes were slightly closed, and his consciousness appeared in the library space, searching for knowledge about genes.

The gene technology of extraterrestrial life is full of strange things. Different life specialties have different gene expression forms. Therefore, it is difficult for Li Yi to find a suitable gene technology for reference in the library.

However, the material elements of the universe are the same, and the genetic codes that make up life still have certain similarities.

Just like the human civilization on the earth, during the development of human beings, in different periods, almost all of them chose gold and silver as currency, which has certain commonalities.

So far, humans have discovered 118 elements on earth.

In the universe, these 118 elements also exist in other planets. Although there are dark energy, antimatter, and dark matter, and other planets also have different elements, these 118 elements occupy the main components of the vast majority of positive matter.

Because the environment of the planet is different, the genetic forms of alien life are also different, which can be mainly divided into four categories:

The first category is similar to intelligent AI robots, this type of digital life.The second type: abstract life with information or consciousness as the carrier; the third type is high-latitude life with particles, energy, and electromagnetic waves as the carrier; the fourth type is a form similar to carbon-based life, that is, silicon , ammonia or sulfur as the core of life.

Human beings are carbon-based life with carbon as the main body.

Carbon is the main element of organic compounds on Earth, without which there would be no life.Carbon forms stable bonds with other elements, including carbon itself, which is capable of forming more compounds than any known element, and carbon is a building block of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, all of which are essential for life of.

Among the main bodies of many civilizations, carbon-based life is the weakest and most unstable, and it is very easy to be broken down into carbon atoms by high-frequency waves. Therefore, carbon-based life is the most difficult to develop among many civilizations.

However, carbon-based life has another characteristic. Instability represents complexity and variability. A carbon atom has four free electrons, and the reduction and oxidation properties of electrons are relatively strong, so it is easy to become some genetically more complicated ones. Polymer organisms, which also constitute the most basic conditions for the formation of multi-organisms.

For this reason, when Li Yi looked through the books on alien civilizations, he found that the biological forms of other civilizations were far lower than the tens of millions of species on the earth's ecological chain, and there were no fractions of them. Moreover, these high-level aliens Star civilizations do not rule one or two galaxies.

To find a suitable genetic enhancement technology, one can only find it in civilizations that are also carbon-based life forms.

Li Yi wrote the screening conditions in the library's light curtain to search for trading partners who are also carbon-based life civilizations.

Soon, thousands of carbon-based civilizations emerged in the light curtain.

"That's right, there are quite a lot!" Li Yi's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.

Among the four main types of civilizations, the first three types of civilizations are all high-level, but they are relatively rare, accounting for about 20%. The fourth civilization is the mainstream, but the civilization with carbon-based as the main body is the least, only about 3%. Because the conditions for the formation of carbon-based civilization are too harsh.

Among them, the number of silicon-based civilizations is the largest, followed by other types of civilizations, their structures are relatively simple, because their living conditions are different from those of carbon-based civilizations, carbon-based life is suitable for living in stable conditions, while other types of civilizations Civilization can survive under relatively extreme conditions, but it is not suitable for survival under some stable conditions.

For example, silicon-based civilization, in a stable environment, is easy to combine with oxygen to turn into silicon dioxide, which affects silicon-based life itself. However, under extreme conditions, silicon-based life will be more tenacious.

The universe has endless galaxies, planets with a stable climate like the earth are very rare, and planets with extreme environments are very many, which leads to the extremely rare carbon-based life, on the contrary, the number of other-based civilizations is very large.

However, among the alien civilizations with the number of sands in the Ganges River, many civilizations with carbon-based life as the main body can still be found.

Soon, Li Yi screened again, and selected a trading partner who was better at genetic enhancement from the huge base of carbon-based civilization.

Immediately afterwards, an alien creature appeared on the virtual screen, and one of them was a humanoid woman that fit Li Yi's aesthetics very well.

Its appearance and body shape are similar to those of human women, with long silver hair, dark blue skin with a little scale pattern, exquisite facial features, a slender and tall figure, a pair of towering ears, dark blue eyes, no whites, and proud twin peaks. She has a graceful figure and exudes a ripe and seductive aura.

Li Yi was amazed by the woman in front of him. He didn't expect such a beautiful alien creature to appear, and its features were so similar to human beings. The overall similarity of facial features and limbs reached 95%.

"Hello, I'm Leodore!" The woman greeted Li Yi with a smile.

Li Yi opened his eyes wide, and asked in surprise: "Hello! Are all of you Thar people in this form? Are they similar to me?"

"Everyone is a carbon-based civilization, and they are all Homo sapiens civilizations. It is normal to develop into a human form! Among all carbon-based civilizations, Homo sapiens is the final form, so the degree of similarity is very high. It seems that you have not compared with other carbon-based civilizations. Homo sapiens have traded civilization!" Leodore smiled slightly, watching Li Yi guess with a smile.

Li Yi nodded. The previous transactions were all made by other types of main civilizations.

"What do you want? Genetic modification technology?" Leodore looked at Li Yi and asked with a smile.

"Yes! I need genetic technology that can adapt to the interstellar environment. The key is that this genetic technology must be suitable for our application." Li Yi nodded with a smile and asked.

"Adapting to the interstellar environment! I can provide the genetic code for adapting to the interstellar environment, the genetic code that has little negative impact on the main body's genes, using the gene optimization editing technology, suitable for the originally fragile carbon-based gene life." Leo Duoer Nodding in understanding, he introduced.

"Really? This genetic code adapted to the interstellar environment will not have a negative impact on the main body of the gene?" Li Yi asked in surprise, his spirit lifted.

"I can't guarantee this. Although we are all carbon-based life, the genetic system is too complicated, and the difference between the two is not small. I can't guarantee whether your genes can perfectly fit the genetic code suitable for the interstellar environment. You'd better Can provide the relevant gene spectrum, so that I can be sure." Liodoer smiled and suggested.

Hearing this, Li Yi remained silent. This issue has always been an obstacle to the transaction. He would never hand over the genetic spectrum of human civilization to other alien civilizations.

As if seeing Li Yi's concerns, Leodore smiled and quickly introduced: "It's okay if it's inconvenient to provide the gene spectrum, this is a mature technology, and this kind of genetic code is fixed, you just need to get these The genetic code allows scientists to optimize and compile it, and some adjustments and optimizations are required during the application process, so it should not be difficult to achieve the desired goal."

"Really? By embedding this genetic code, you can adapt to the interstellar environment?" Li Yi nodded with a smile, and introduced directly to the point.

"Yes, this type of genetic code is specially developed for carbon-based life to adapt to the interstellar environment. It has unique adaptability to the negative effects of cosmic radiation, vacuum environment, ..., etc. At the same time, it has unique advantages in gene optimization. The unique and efficient ability, by interpreting the main gene, embedding and optimizing the genetic code,..." Leo Duoer explained the genetic code modification technology to Li Yi in detail, and then reminded: "The genetic code to adapt to the interstellar environment is a carbon-based It is a very critical core technology for civilization to enter the interstellar civilization, and it is very valuable, I don’t know what transaction targets you can provide!”

"I can buy it with star coins, or, what do you want? Of course, the premise must be valid." Li Yi looked at Leodore and responded.

"If you trade with star coins, this technology will cost 1 million star coins. If you are willing to trade with gene maps, I want the gene maps of 3 intelligent species." Leo Duoer gave Li Yi a meaningful look , the lion asked the price with a big mouth.

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing, annoyed by Leodore's asking price.

"Your asking price is outrageous. With 1 million star coins, I can buy the core technology of level 6 civilization. If there is no accident, these genetic technologies are only level 4!" Li Yi couldn't help but look gloomy. .

"No, no! Even if you can use 1 million star coins to buy the technology of level 6 civilization, but can you apply it? This kind of genetic code adapted to the cosmic environment is unique to carbon-based civilization. The deployment of long-term environmental adaptation is a very important and key core technology for the carbon-based civilization that has not yet entered the interstellar era. Without it, you will not be able to adapt to the interstellar environment, and it is impossible to talk about entering the interstellar era." Leo Duoer slightly With a smile, he refuted Li Yi's bargaining.

"Whether this kind of genetic technology is useful to us is another matter. You are more inappropriate." Li Yi took a serious look at Leodore and said calmly.

What Liodoer said is not unreasonable. If this genetic technology that can adapt to the cosmic environment is really useful, it is indeed a very important technology for human civilization, but Li Yi cannot accept this price.

1 million star coins, how many musical instruments do you have to sell to earn music scores!In addition, the genetic profiles of the three intelligent species were even more outrageous. Li Yi would never trade human genetic profiles with him, let alone the genetic profiles of other intelligent species.

"It can definitely be used. This kind of adaptive genetic code modification technology has been successfully applied in many carbon-based civilizations. You are unwilling to provide the genetic spectrum. After purchasing, you can only let your scientists slowly deploy it. If there is a problem, I can provide follow-up technical support here, and if you don't want after-sales, the price can be lowered by 2 million star coins." Lioduoer looked at Li Yi and offered to lower the price.

After the introduction, Liodoer showed Li Yi the data of other carbon-based civilizations that had traded this technology with her.

In a large amount of transaction data, Li Yi discovered that many carbon-based civilizations had indeed purchased Leodore's genetic technology.

Li Yi couldn't help but feel relieved, and continued to learn about her gene code external embedding technology with Leodore.

Seeing Li Yi's sincerity in the transaction, Leo Duoer introduced him patiently.

The gene code external embedding technology compiles the various adaptability of carbon-based life to the cosmic environment into a complete set of genetic code, edits and combines it into a genome, and adopts external embedding during the process of embedding the carbon-based life gene chain without interfering Characteristics, through a series of deployment, optimization and transformation technology, various genes that can adapt to the environment of the universe will be revealed, so that carbon-based life can withstand the negative environment of the universe to a relatively high degree.

Of course, depending on the genetic information of the carbon-based life subject itself, the degree of protection that this gene embedding technology can give varies.

After chatting with Liodoer for a long time, Li Yi was very optimistic about this mature genetic treasure external embedding technology, but unfortunately, her quotation was too expensive, and the price was too tight, so there was no way to negotiate.

"I must admit that this genetic technology is very feasible, but your offer is too high, and I can't bear it." Li Yi sighed, looked at Leodore, and finally confirmed.

"If you don't have enough star coins, you can use the gene spectrum to trade." Liodoer smiled slightly, suggesting that there was no compromise at all.

Li Yi frowned, looked at Leodore and decided: "The genetic spectrum can only give you the genetic spectrum of one intelligent civilization, and the other two belong to non-intelligent civilizations."

Leodore pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!"

"However, the three gene profiles are all the gene profiles of silicon-based life! No problem!" Li Yi smiled, looked at Leo Duoer and said.

"Silicon-based life? Are you sure?" Leodore looked at Li Yi in surprise. He didn't expect that he could produce the genetic spectrum of the silicon-based civilization. Aren't they a carbon-based civilization that has not yet entered the interstellar civilization?To be able to get the genetic map of silicon-based civilization.

"Yes! Can you?" Li Yi smiled and nodded.

"Okay!" Liodoer nodded bluntly. Compared with the genetic spectrum of carbon-based life, the genetic spectrum of silicon-based life is more valuable to her, and she has earned a lot of money from this deal.

"Well! I'll go and prepare, we'll trade later!" Li Yi said goodbye to her happily.
