I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 477 A-level hidden mission: The turning point of civilization. Genetic ascension, or genetic destruction

Old man Lin really has no bottom line.

As long as the price is high enough, anything can be sold.

But this lion's mouth was obviously not what Yu Kaiji expected.

He coughed twice:

"Let's get down to business first. It won't be too late to talk about our deal later."

Hear him say that.

Lin Xiqing also picked up the files that she checked last night.
She first mentioned the most urgent matter:

"At 1:15 a.m. last night, there was an information outage inside the base, which lasted for nearly 30 seconds.

Of the 45 cultists captured, seven died, one was seriously injured, and one was missing within those 30 seconds."

Su Wen took a sip of tea and then asked calmly:
"Someone robbed the prison?"

There was a hint of coldness in Old Man Lin's words:

"It's not a jailbreak.
More like:
Some 'rats' hiding among the 'night watchmen' finally lost their patience.

You don't have to worry about this matter.

I am an old man. Sometimes, I really need to move my body around.”

Compared to the night watchmen who are law enforcers.

As the director of a large library that maintains the smooth operation of civilization, Yu Kaiji expressed more understanding:
“This is something that is to be expected.

There are not that many second-level transcendents to serve as regional backbone forces.

perhaps,

It will take at least three to five years for this group of young people to grow up.

In the coastal area, there are not many second-level Night Watch captains.
And Xiao Liu is only at the high level of the first rank."

Regarding this statement.

Su Wen also nodded calmly:

"Binhai College didn't offer any majors related to psychic powers before.

It is normal for talents to be siphoned away by Yunzhou City.

The outbreak of the deep-sea relic electromagnetic storm a few years ago brought too many lag effects.

There is no formal mechanism for teaching psychic powers.
Relying solely on luck awakening and explosive breakthroughs to cultivate extraordinary people is not in line with the concept of scientific development.

Moreover, if we only rely on society to recruit extraordinary people, the quality of the personnel will be uneven. Internal problems like the one that suddenly occurred last night will indeed occur.

If next year Yanjing can agree to use psychic powers as a pilot project for the college entrance examination, and also list Binhai City as one of the pilot areas.

I think these situations will change a lot.”

I was so happy to hear his rational and serious analysis.

Lin Xiqing looked at him with starry eyes, full of admiration.

The corners of Jiang Menghan's mouth also slightly raised as if he was more proud.

Even Old Man Lin couldn't help but admire it. Of course, he smiled and said with the attitude of an old naughty boy:

"Perhaps a thousand years ago, the spiritual tide had not yet reached such a low level as it does in the 21st century AD.

Practicing by taking a shower under a waterfall might have some effect.

But now, what Su Xiaozi said is right.

Being extraordinary is not about asceticism, but a game of resources and information."

As an old night watchman.

He knew a lot of secrets about the game between the big powers, but now was not the time to talk about those, so he just laughed it off.

Then the topic was introduced:

"Regarding the mastermind you found yesterday when you tracked down the mixed curse,

Xiao Liu also reported to me last night what she heard during the tracking:

Something about the blood code.

In this regard, Su Wen, Jiang Menghan, what do you think? "

Su Wen plans to discuss in detail with Krosan the future projects related to the important timeline of [Genetic Ascension] and make detailed arrangements.

So naturally he wouldn't say this part now.

It is just a brief description of what I saw and heard during the crisis, while also focusing more on the possible subsequent impacts:
"Those cultists should have been injected with a genetic virus mixed with extraordinary genes.

Thus, the corresponding strong cell activation and recovery ability is obtained.

Or effects such as 'high speed', 'enhanced strength', etc. that can be comparable to those of extraordinary people of the same level.

They call this technology: [Blood Source Code].

But this technology has the potential to cause social order to break down.”

Hear him say that.

Jiang Menghan also nodded slightly:

"Gene modification through blood injection does exist in life sciences.
Some scientists use gene editing tools, such as the CRISPR-Cas9 system, to make precise genetic modifications in human cells.

This technology can be used to treat some genetic diseases.
For example, Hunter syndrome.

Specifically,

Researchers will collect blood cells from the patient and then edit the genes of those cells in the laboratory.

They used gene-editing tools to cut out a specific DNA sequence and insert a new, healthy copy of the gene.

such,

These edited cells could then produce missing enzymes or other important proteins, thereby alleviating or curing the disease.

But this is limited to treatment.

In terms of extraordinary advancement, gene ascension is achieved through gene cutting and recombination.
At least I haven't read any clear reports on this in The Lancet so far.

after all,

Genetic modification also means: genetic breakdown in the physiological sense.”

Hear this.

Even Lin Xiqing still didn't quite understand.

But she couldn't help but feel a little scared when she thought about the horror movies she had watched on the sofa with a pillow in her arms:
"Is it cyborg technology?"

"Include,
But it’s not limited to this.

Most people also know about the ethical paradoxes that cloning brings. "

Su Wen took a sip of the slightly bitter tea.
There was also a hint of rational calmness in his words:

"If evolutionary genetic modification is only carried out on willing humans,
This risk may not be that high.

But what if they choose to lure or even directly kidnap some people who are unable to resist?

such as,

The rampant gangs and drug trade in Mexico have made it a natural 'lawless place' and a natural testing ground for them. ”

"why is it like this!"

Lin Xiqing felt very scared.

And Old Man Lin couldn't help but sigh:
"Xiaoqing,
This is why grandpa doesn't want you to set foot in this extraordinary world.

If some law enforcers are not able to enforce the law, the shadows under the starry sky will eventually be covered by the law of the jungle."

Director Yu Kaiji was more calm:
“In history,
These things happen too much.

Therefore, the only thing that the Great Library cares about is the continuation of civilization, rather than maintaining a regime similar to the glorious regime of the ancient Roman city-state. "

Su Wen understood this.
This is why the Ash Sentinel Chief of the Great Library wants to maintain the last glimmer of light belonging to the Kingdom of Eternal Night:
because.

If even that one glimmer of light was extinguished.

The entire civilization has completely become [history].

He thought of the Royal Sister Sentinel Chief Rundel
I also thought of the black tide crisis I experienced in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

This leads to an even more terrifying possibility:
“The International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) once classified genetic engineering as an extremely high-risk project.

Director Yu, the most critical thing among these is the possibility of:
【Gene virus】

I think even the great libraries might not be able to ignore this.”

at the same time
The description of the hidden task slowly appeared on the system interface in front of him:
【Great Chief Player】

[You have obtained a hidden mission of level A: the turning point of civilization. Genetic ascension, or genetic destruction]

[Task Progress: Initial Signs]

[Task process brief description:
You saved Binhai City from the Mixer Curse Crisis.

However, we discovered that the genetic paradox hidden in the research on the blood source code may become a critical time point that affects the change of civilization.

Make your choice, great chief player. 】

[Mission Reward: Healing Code (Celtic Civilization Chapter: Ancient Tree of Life Sequence)]

Look at these lines of prompts.

And that is marked as [A-level],
It can even be compared to the importance of the [Deep Sea] branch of Irelandna, the sixth-level peak Atlantis Queen.

Su Wen understood that in the middle of his research on Lawrence Riel next year, he might have to find an opportunity to start planning for this future node with Krosan in advance.
