บท 689: The First Civilization Crisis
Lao Yang explained on the stage: "Yes, everyone has guessed that the virus sample created by the fifth-level civilization is a bargaining chip they proposed. The other party is so swearing, it should not be fabricated randomly, but in their hands We actually have this thing."
The Green Star Civilization has disappeared, but the technological heritage of this fifth-level civilization still remains in this world, and everyone can't help but increase their attention.
Through a virus, it may be possible to decipher more of the mysteries of life.
Lao Yang continued: "...This virus cannot be said to be a completely indiscriminate infection, but many animals on Kalina Planet have been infected. The genetic materials of organisms on the same planet are always very different. The similarities are similar. Aren't human genes similar to those of paramecium? In the same way, most of the organisms on the home planet of the hemisphere are infected..."
"But this virus may not necessarily be able to infect humans, because species on two different planets are still very different."
"... If both parties cooperate in an all-round way, hemispheric civilizations can provide virus samples in this area for joint research."
Biological samples created by level five civilization. Several experts who specialize in biology showed interest.
The genetic virus originating from the fifth-level civilization can be regarded as a trump card of the hemispheric civilization, but the other party did not hide it, but said it directly and transparently, indicating that it had no intention of using it against humans.
This actually won everyone's favor.
Of course, even if the people in the hemisphere secretly use this virus on humans, humans may not be infected. Because after careful preparation, the other party did not obtain the human genetic code. And people are well prepared for defensive measures in this regard.
One of the experts said: "Viruses are very dangerous, but they are indeed of great research value. As long as safety is properly controlled, there should be no problem. We are already a level 4 civilization and can study the technology left over from level 5 civilization. Further improve biotechnology and improve prevention and control capabilities in this area."
Zhang Yuan frowned and said: "Don't take it lightly... I'm actually wondering, how did the people in the hemisphere get infected back then? Are you so careless when facing an unknown virus?"
"They already know that life in the First Era was killed by viruses, so why would they release this virus?"
A deputy captain shook his head: "Old Zhang, what era do you want to read that story? It is equivalent to our late 20th century and early 21st century! In that era, there were many explorers seeking death. The original The civilizations of the hemisphere are in a period of archaeological fervor, and when they encounter scientific relics, how can they manage so much?"
"Their technology is not developed. How can they still wear fully armed space suits to explore the North and South Pole? If they want to open a museum, they will open it immediately. Moreover, I seriously doubt that those people in the hemisphere were already infected when they were digging glaciers. Caught by a mutated virus."
"Okay." Zhang Yuan accepted this statement.
"Then, what about the rest of history?"
"Next, after the alien virus was resurrected, a terrible plague was born naturally!" Lao Yang saw that everyone in the audience was listening attentively, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment as a teacher.
He continued: "...the original perfect virus was very mild, highly contagious, and had no obvious symptoms. It would only destroy the reproductive cells of life, making it impossible for life to reproduce."
"But now it has begun to mutate at a terrifying speed, infecting various organisms. A large number of organisms are no longer able to reproduce! And this mutation is becoming more and more widespread, various complications have arisen, and animals and plants have begun to die in large numbers. ."
"These complications managed to attract the attention of civilizations across the hemisphere."
Only then did they suddenly realize that those damn viruses that had wiped out the people on the globe had somehow resurrected!
And the people in their hemisphere were also infected!
Hemispheric civilization once wanted to control the spread of the virus, but most living things will be infected with this virus, but some symptoms are obvious, and some symptoms are not so obvious. These animals flee everywhere, and birds fly everywhere, wherever they go. Everywhere has become an epidemic area, and plague has appeared in oceans, land, and lakes. How can we control it?
As a result, the hemispheric civilization, like the multi-spherical civilization, has fallen into an even more desperate situation...
This is the first time their entire civilization has encountered a huge crisis!
Lao Yang did not show off, and directly stated the final solution: "The world has entered doomsday mode, social order has immediately collapsed, and the population has rapidly declined. Only some scientists are still working hard."
Scientists from the hemispheric civilization found in their research that their nervous systems were not infected by the virus for some unknown reason. These alien viruses cannot enter the interior of nerve cells and use free nucleotides to assemble, which may be related to the membrane structure of nerve cells.
"So in the desperate situation, in order to survive, they turned themselves into this kind of bionic model of a brain in a vat... Although it is very weird, they are still alive. And they used the knowledge of the multi-sphere civilization in the first era. Research results."
"That's it! I understand!" Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh. A normal civilization would not make itself like this, but in a desperate situation, there is no other way to survive. Who can let science and technology fail? Can't solve this problem?
The problem of survival has been solved for the time being, and the next step is about the reproduction of the species. There is no way to reproduce with just a brain.
The average lifespan of people in the hemisphere is about 120 years old. Although this brain-in-a-vat model has inexplicably increased the lifespan a lot, if there is no next generation, sooner or later they will become extinct.
There are some uninfected germ cells in the biological gene bank, which are well preserved. But a normal living body will soon be re-infected in this virus-filled environment, so it will eventually become a "brain in a vat" in order to survive...
If the gene pool runs out of germ cells, hemispheric civilization will still become extinct.
"So, in order to reduce trouble, the Hemisphere people have developed a special cloning technology. This cloning technology is like 3D organ printing, which can directly 'print' the brain of a newborn! In other words, in addition to the Apart from the brain, there are no other organs. We have to use bionic organs to survive..."
"Think about it, since the heart, liver, kidneys and other organs can be cloned... then the brain is also possible in theory."
After hearing this, a scientist asked: "Do people in the hemisphere have such technology? Isn't this technology quite difficult?"
Lao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Their biotechnology is just barely passable. Mainly because the multi-sphere civilization in the first era has been frantically researching this type of technology, but the multi-sphere civilization has not completely solved it and just directly Extinct. It was not until the Second Era that the civilizations of the hemisphere perfected these technologies and could barely use them."
"The culture of applauding when they are happy is probably a legacy of the poor technology at that time."
Someone else asked: "Wait a minute, I have a question. Why don't they create an artificial sterile zone to raise normal babies and children?"
Yang Fan shook his head: "Your idea is very good, but it is not realistic to implement it. At that time, the talent in the hemisphere was barely a level 0.9 civilization, and the productivity was not like what we have now."
"It will take at least several million or even tens of millions of people to raise the next generation of children. These children need food, clothing, and a lot of material needs."
"When the outside world is full of viruses, how big a sterile zone they need to build to meet such a huge demand... The social system has collapsed, and it will never be the same as before."
