Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 272 The First Generation Gene Engine
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Inside the enormous biological gene design laboratory, a gigantic gene tree, entirely generated by holographic photon simulation, cascaded down from the ceiling, several meters high.

The human body is as small as a mouse in front of it. The vast biological information represented by the genetic code is manifested at this moment and fully analyzed. It is a volume that a hundred people cannot fill.

Only Xiling could perfectly manipulate this golden tree. Her virtual avatar was also quite large. After scanning the data tree from beginning to end, she reported back to everyone.
"Execution is successful and results can be output."

Standing on the floor below were more than thirty top scholars in physics and biology, including Jiang Fan, Randall, Luo Yinxi, Ding Yi, and Qu Yuan.

The gene engine is a massive project that combines microscopic physics with macroscopic life. Its significance goes beyond simply enabling human evolution; it represents a profound exploration of the origins of life!
All paths lead to the same destination; the most fundamental physics is the ultimate biotechnology!
Life and matter both follow the same universal laws, they are just different macroscopic manifestations!

Today, for the first time, humanity is about to realize the transformation of matter into life, using matter to drive life to achieve its most fundamental sublimation!
Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Fan couldn't help but recall the experiments he conducted at Shenhe Academy.

The same virtual gene tree, the same human atom analytical formula,
The difference is that back then it was just him and Black Ink Dinger, but now it is him and all the elites of the human race gathered together!
With encouragement in her godfather's eyes, Luo Yinxi took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said to Xiling,

"Sister Xiling, execute the final integration and evolution, and manifest the result in the form of life!"

She did all this because she was the chief person in charge of the gene engine project, a promising newcomer, and the absolute core figure in this miraculous performance!
Xiling's rational yet melodious voice emanated from the virtual human's mouth.

"Instruction received. Data packet condensation in progress. Sample adaptation in progress. Final calculation countdown: 10 minutes."

The enormous gene tree began to shed its golden light, just like a ginkgo tree shedding its golden leaves in autumn. This does not represent death and destruction, but rather reincarnation and rebirth!
Everyone felt as if they were in a golden ocean, with strands of unimaginable data photons compressing inward to form a new system!
The holographic tree representing the genetic data visibly shrank, and through Xiling's continuous operations, it gradually became incredibly real, as if separating the fake from the real!

Xiling's figure is also shrinking. All of this is the external manifestation of data calculation, a way that humans can understand.

Five minutes later, the once lush golden tree was reduced to just a few main trunks. The 'genetic code leaves,' which had resembled a sea of ​​smoke, had shrunk to the cellular level and entered the main trunks.

But that's not enough; as time goes on, the main trunk is also gradually shrinking.

With three minutes left on the countdown, the trunk of the golden tree began to resemble a human figure more and more. It felt like watching a plant become a spirit, having cultivated for many years and about to transform into human form!
With one minute left in the countdown, the excess branches completely disappeared, leaving only one branch on each side. The root system below also separated into two parts, and the concept of 'limbs' came to everyone's mind.

Thirty seconds left in the countdown, the top begins to deform, and a face without any features is solidifying!

The timer reset to zero before everyone's eyes, and the figure opened its eyes. Suddenly, a pair of wings spread out from behind it, and the legendary angelic form was reflected in its complete form before everyone's eyes!

People of the Trisolaran race, including Shen Zhou and Qu Yuan, couldn't help but sigh with genuine amazement upon seeing the formed human figure.
"What a beautiful life!"

The figure was bathed in golden light, and its entire body structure conformed to the golden ratio of natural aesthetics. Its wings spread out behind it, carrying it into the air. Although it was just a simulated form, it gave people a strong sense of oppression!
Xiling appeared and explained,
"This is the macroscopic effect of the gene engine being loaded into the human body. All the original body structures will be gradually replaced into the optimal form under the guidance of the new gene code!"

Ding Yi couldn't help but ask,
"Will everyone look the same?"

This is a very subjective question. In the eyes of other species, humans are all the same, just as humans see the Trisolarans as looking alike. The so-called differences are subjective perceptions within a group, subjective descriptions used by individuals to distinguish themselves from one another.

Xiling replied,

"In the simulation, the initial value is the theoretical perfect value, so it eventually produces this appearance."

"When the gene engine is loaded into the human body, different results will occur because the initial values ​​of each person are different."

"Don't worry about looking the same. The only things that will remain the same are life characteristics, such as having an extra pair of wings that are connected to anti-gravity factors, a body that can ignore cosmic radiation, and dynamically adjusted lung function, etc."

Jiang Fan had been thinking from the beginning, and only asked after Xiling finished speaking.
"After the gene engine is loaded, will the engine system replace all the guiding processes for the formation of bodily substances?"

What percentage of the total runtime structure does this required, default runtime structure represent?

"Assuming the main body exceeds this threshold under extreme conditions, is there a protection mechanism for engine overheating?"

The formation of life is guided by primordial genes.
The gene engine merely replaces the guidance process and content; it does not abandon the operational logic of genes forming life.

You can think of the original genes as a set of basic algorithms, the purpose of which is to guide the fertilized egg to develop into a human and realize the various characteristics of life.

The gene engine follows the same concept, but it subjectively creates a more advanced algorithm, with the goal of still guiding how microscopic matter is composed of macroscopic matter!
Such a process should not occupy the user's conscious mind, just as a computer's basic system should not require excessive effort from the user.
For example, if you require a typist to not only input pinyin, but also program code to convert pinyin into text, that would be absurd.

Similar to essential system components, these should not occupy the user's attention. The user does not need to focus on them, but only needs to implement more combination possibilities based on the system components.

This inevitably creates a usable computing power limit. If you were to try to calculate pi to hundreds of millions of digits, it would absolutely exceed its computational capacity, causing the computer to freeze and system components to become unusable.

In the human body, there's no such thing as a "fuse-and-restart" mechanism for life.

A little less data and a slight loss in performance and heat dissipation on the computer are not a big problem.

But humans are different. If they have even a little less memory or a little less subconscious energy to maintain life, the difference will be enormous!

This also proves a point from another perspective: the more complex the microscopic components that make up a macroscopic object and the more complicated the steps, the lower the margin for error!
