Ninth class citizen

Chapter 14 Gene Review

"I just want to ask you if you are interested in joining the student union." Guan Ning said with a smile: "This is not only my own opinion, but also represents many new students."

Nan Rong thought of what his roommate Wendy had said before. Many people had misunderstood her identity, so she understood what he meant.

"I just want to study hard." She patted her book, "I don't have that much time to spare."

This shows the position of not getting involved. Guan Ning's tone revealed a hint of relief: "I think so. But everyone is still unsure, so we want to confirm it again."

"Add a contact number?" He showed her his wrist terminal, leaned close to her and whispered, "I will let you know in advance if there are any activities organized by the hospital in the future."

It seems that after excluding himself, this person is very confident about joining the student union.

Nan Rong added his contact number. Guan Ning was slightly stunned when he saw the old low-end wrist terminal on her wrist. He seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back because the instructor had already walked in.

The instructor of genetics was in his forties, with a neat 3:7 hair part. The first thing he did when he entered the room was to call the roll.

The attendance rate for the first class of the new semester was quite high. Ninety-five out of a hundred freshmen came.

The tutor did not criticize the students who did not show up, which fully demonstrated the word "freedom" mentioned by the dean at the opening ceremony.

In order to ensure the quality of teaching, all built-in connection signals between individuals and the intelligent computer terminal are forcibly blocked during class.

"As early as the ancient times of the Federation, humans had already discovered the existence of genes. At that time, humans studied that the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes, about 30 billion nucleotides, and 2 to 3 genes."

"Our ancestors therefore established the Pan-Human Genome Project to map the human genome, hoping to completely decode the genetic makeup and edit the genome to achieve the goal of treating genetic diseases and promoting human evolution."

"Of course, I believe that those who know a little about ancient history already know what the final result was. The war started by the clones almost wiped out ordinary humans from the stars."

The instructor waved his hand gently, suppressing the discussion that gradually rose from the audience: "After the war, genetic science became a taboo and was sealed for thousands of years. It was not until the Federation entered the era of large-scale space development and gradually came into contact with extraterritorial civilizations that it was realized that genes cannot be edited and can only be promoted through various methods to optimize themselves. This is why the students are sitting here today, and it is also the direction of our lifelong efforts."

"Next, I will tell you about the progress made by the Federation in genetic optimization over the past thousand years, as well as the outstanding historical figures."

Nan Rong had only heard about these basic knowledge about genetics sporadically and had not studied them systematically, so he listened with great interest.

She was like this, but the other students in the classroom were different. Most of them were already familiar with this period of history, and they knew all the famous masters in the history of genetic optimization. At this moment, they found it a bit boring, so they just went about their own business, sleeping, chatting, and doing whatever they wanted.

The tutor really had a very good temper and didn't care about the whispers and small movements below, so Guan Ning couldn't help but whisper to the legendary young lady next to him.

Since they were not familiar with each other yet, the topic was very superficial.

"Student Nan Rong, is this school uniform of yours specially made?"

"Yeah." Nan Rong said perfunctorily, but he didn't expect the other party to be interested: "It looks inconspicuous and so thin, but it is actually made of the latest nano-silicon crystals and gray mist spider silk with high resistance material, right?"

Among the high-end protective clothing materials that Guan Ning had heard of, the gray mist spider silk was extremely special and rare. Its thinness and gray effect were its major characteristics, which could completely cover the gloss of the finished product, making the finished garment look like a cheap product sold on the roadside.

But if you think so, you will definitely suffer a great loss in the battle, because it not only has good physical resistance, but also can block the attacks of extraordinary people below the third level. Therefore, it has become a special material for the military and is rarely seen among civilians.

Nan Rong was immersed in his mentor's speech and ignored his question, which made Guan Ning more certain of his judgment. Even the collar flower and inferior brooch that looked like low-grade resin had extraordinary meaning in his eyes.

It must be some kind of high-grade material that he didn't recognize, and maybe it was handmade by a master component designer, an ornament with extraordinary properties. For a small trading family like the Guan family, such a thing is simply out of reach.

This is also the reason why his family would spend a lot of money to send him to study this major.

Whether you can become a genetic optimizer depends on your talent and luck.

But relying on his social skills, he was able to at least make friends with some classmates of equal status or even higher backgrounds.

For example, the person in front of you may look ordinary, but his background is surprisingly great.

When Guan Ning asked her family to verify her identity indirectly, she found that her file had been sealed by the relevant department, and the person who handled the matter was given a mild warning.

Not only him, but also several other classmates whose families were somewhat capable also encountered setbacks.

Everyone knows what this shows.

"Nan Rong, although it may be a bit presumptuous, for the sake of our friendship, could you also help me order a set of this school uniform?"

Nan Rong felt that he was very noisy and she could not stand it any longer:
"Student, could you please shut up and stop disturbing others from listening attentively!"

The voice was not low. Not only could the instructor hear it clearly, but the chatting of the students behind also stopped instantly.

The instructor on the stage looked at Nan Rong with satisfaction and found her very pleasing to the eye.

What a good student! Compared with other students who are always making small movements, she is simply a little angel.

Moreover, not only do they have a positive attitude towards learning, but they can also take the initiative to criticize unhealthy study styles, playing a positive role in setting an example and taking the lead. They must be commended.

The instructor immediately added 10 credits to Nan Rong in the teaching terminal.

A class lasts three hours, the instructor lectures for two and a half hours, leaving half an hour for an in-class test.

The students didn’t expect this to happen and immediately complained bitterly.

"This is the rule of our college. You must take tests in class, and the results will be counted as credits. It doesn't matter if you fail. You can go through certain procedures to eliminate the test. In short, everyone just get used to it."

Hearing that it could be eliminated, everyone felt relieved.

The test paper is made of paper and has a strong scent of ink.

The exam content was not difficult and was completely based on what had just been taught in class.

The speed of grading papers is extremely fast. The instructor only needs to scan a stack of test papers with a wrist terminal, and the grades of the entire class will be automatically determined and directly published on everyone's smart computer terminal.

Nan Rong found that his memory was getting better and better, and everything he had heard and seen was firmly imprinted in his mind. As a result, he got full marks as expected, and 5 extra credits.

The other students were miserable.
