Chapter 600 Preparations
Li Qingye appeared in the joint conference room of the Science Division and the Space Division through a synchronized robot.
"Chairman." Everyone quickly stood up and greeted him.
Li Qingye waved his hand: "Everyone, please sit down and talk about the alien spaceship."
Dr. Mikoyan, the head of the Space Division, stood up and said, "Based on what we have discovered so far, this spacecraft is very likely an escape ship of an alien civilization, and it may have been a very long time since they escaped."
Dr. Mikoyan paused and continued, "The exact time can only be determined after we land on this spacecraft."
Wu Hu, the director of the Space Security Office, added: "We have activated the war preparedness mechanism and are currently in the second-level war preparedness state. In addition, there are 473 miniature hydrogen bombs and 34 medium-sized braking hydrogen bombs on the Cicada-class 004 spacecraft, with a total equivalent of about 460 million tons. If something happens..."
Everyone present knew exactly what he meant.
If there is something on that alien spaceship that threatens human civilization, they will launch these hydrogen bombs without hesitation and blow the alien spaceship into interstellar garbage.
As for being soft-hearted, the Zhiren Company is not a charity.
Li Qingye nodded: "You are ready to go to war, there is no doubt about that, after all, you must be on guard against others."
Jiang Mingxuan, head of the Science Division, asked, "Dr. Mikoyan, when do you plan to land on that spacecraft?"
"About half a year. The specific landing time needs to be adjusted based on the reconnaissance situation." Although Dr. Mikoyan's plan is very conservative, it is the safest.
In the process of external exploration, the key for Zhiren Company is to be bold and careful.
We must be bold in exploring outward, but also be cautious in the process of exploration. This is the correct approach to be responsible for human civilization as a whole.
The meeting lasted more than five hours.
After Li Qingye went offline, he came to Pangu Realm again.
As time went by, the creatures in the Pangu Realm evolved and became increasingly different from those in the natural environment of the Earth.
He is now thinking about whether to start the construction of the second Pangu Realm.
The creatures in the entire Pangu Realm have greatly benefited the biotechnology of the Sapiens Company, but the area here is still too small and is not enough for the development of the creatures inside.
After all, only when the living space is large enough, the biodiversity will become increasingly rich, and the genetic resources formed will become increasingly large.
What is the use of genes?
Li Qingye didn’t think too much about it at first, until recently, he discovered a new perspective.
What exactly are genes?
This is an issue that is very worthy of study and reflection.
In the traditional concept of many people, genes are the result of biological evolution and the basis of life.
But this conclusion does not understand the nature of genes.
In Li Qingye's view, genes are a description and application of the laws of the universe by organisms.
The process of biological evolution is actually an understanding, adaptation, and application of the physical basis of the mother planet.
Genes are the runes of living things.
The genetic runes of humans are derived from the physical foundation of the earth, so humans cannot survive apart from the earth's environment.
Li Qingye called this genetic rune the "planetary genetic rune", and above the planetary genetic rune is the cosmic genetic rune.
Humans must possess a genetic sequence composed of cosmic genetic runes in order to become true cosmic beings and completely break away from their dependence on the mother planet for survival.
The technology for synthesizing biological materials from outer space that was previously discovered accidentally is, in a sense, humanity's search for cosmic genetic runes.
Li Qingye has recently established a genetic rune research institute. The initial work is to analyze all currently known biological genes, and then find the corresponding genetic basic runes from them.
Then try to deduce the planetary genetic runes and part of the cosmic genetic runes through the basic genetic runes.
Only by thoroughly understanding the nature of genes can humans break free from the limitations of the earth and become true aliens.
Now, a group of biologists in the Sapiens Company have learned about the genetic rune theory proposed by Li Qingye.
This theory is to study why genes can produce specific effects and what principles are at work.
In the past, biological genetics was all about finding out which gene fragments in the gene sequence had what uses and what effects they would have on organisms. As for why this gene fragment had such an effect, no one could explain it clearly, and there was no complete set of corresponding theoretical support.
This is like learning to read and write. You know the meaning of these words, and you can use them to make sentences and even write articles.
But do you know where these characters came from? Why are they written this way? Do you know the evolution of these characters?
Many people must be confused at this moment.
Aren’t you making things difficult for Fat Tiger?
After I learn to read and write, I can write and speak , isn't that enough? Why do I have to get to the bottom of it?
This seems like the case of having too much to do and looking for trouble.
However, this question is very critical. Only when you understand the context of the birth of a set of characters and the underlying logic of character creation, can you create new characters, or even start from scratch and create a whole new set of characters.
The same is true for genes.
Without understanding the underlying logic of genes, there is no way to efficiently create new gene sequences and new gene runes. We can only find new genes bit by bit through natural mutations among the vast sea of natural gene mutations.
The two are completely different levels.
It is like looking for new mutations of crops in the natural environment and modifying crops in a genetic recombination laboratory. These are two different concepts.
Natural mutations are too cost-effective, benign mutations are one in a million, and take an extremely long time.
Genetic recombination technology can kill natural mutations in seconds, and it is several orders of magnitude ahead.
The genetic rune theory proposed by Li Qingye is the future direction for further development of genetic recombination technology, and it is also the hope for human evolution.
He now feels that the Pangu Realm is not enough because the genetic mutations here are still in a semi-natural and semi-artificial intervention mode, and there is no way to efficiently obtain a large number of new genes.
But there is no larger area on Earth that can be used to build such a highly sealed biological laboratory.
In other words, the second Pangu Realm must be built in outer space, preferably in an area far away from the earth.
After much thought, he believed that Jupiter's large natural satellites were more suitable as the construction site for the second Pangu World.
It would be best to use a giant structure to wrap the entire planet. This way, not only can the climate inside be easily regulated, but it can also effectively block the interference of cosmic rays and solar energy on the internal environment of the planet.
At the same time, an entire planet is used as an experimental site, which is large enough and has sufficient resources to support the survival of large-scale biological populations.
Li Qingye finally made up his mind and asked the Science Division to start discussions on the Second Pangu Realm project and how to build this experimental site.
The other side.
In the face of the sudden arrival of alien spacecraft, the Space Division is also making various preparations and launching various long-distance exploration plans to make the best preparations for landing on alien spacecraft.
