Homo sapiens.

Christine showed a heartbroken expression, coupled with that naked body, there was a kind of extreme allure: "Are you even afraid of a prisoner?"

"I'm not interested in the few pounds of fat on your chest."

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Christine's heart, but she also felt extremely panicked, because he found that there was really no fluctuation in the eyes of the man in front of him.

If she can't be sure that the other party is not blind, she will wonder if this guy is blind, or a gay.

Christine has always been proud of her figure and appearance, but she didn't even arouse the other party's reaction, which made her doubt life a little.

Anthony fell into silence.

At this time, he was very troubled in his heart, and he could probably guess what happened next, and it is estimated that torture to extract a confession is indispensable.

"No, I can't do nothing, I have to find a way to notify the headquarters..." After Anthony wanted to understand the situation, he immediately begged for mercy with a frightened expression:

"Please don't kill me, I am willing to cooperate and explain everything..."

Christine glanced at Anthony, immediately understood the other party's plan, and immediately cooperated: "I am also willing to explain everything, as long as you don't kill me, please..."

But what the soldier said next made the two of them fall into an ice cave.

"The signal transmitters and suicide devices on your hearts have been removed, so you don't need to act here."

What?Anthony's pupils shrank sharply, and then he looked at his chest again, but found no stitches. He said with an uncertain expression:

"Why lie to me, if you want to know something from me, I hope you can get some preferential treatment, otherwise you will get nothing if I die."

"Just die and let me see." The soldier said indifferently.

And Anthony didn't want to give up, he continued to work hard: "No, my request is not too much. In addition, I have a secret account with UBS. If you are willing to let me go, I can give you all the money in it."

"Why don't you give up? Is this human's desire to survive? Since we know the signal transmitter in your body, do you think we don't know the function of that signal transmitter? Stay well!"

After speaking, the two soldiers left directly with blood samples.

But Anthony's face was pale, obviously he completely lost his mind.

The signal transmitters installed in their bodies are not capable of long-distance communication. This is a miniature short-wave signal transmitter, and the effective communication distance is about one kilometer.

In such a closed environment, its communication distance is only about 100 meters at most.

The reason why he tried every means was to make the other party relax his vigilance, and then take him to a place with electronic communication equipment.

The signal transmitter in its body can emit a specific short-wave signal for the surrounding electronic equipment to receive.

The reason why this can be achieved is that all communication and CPU chips under the American system have been secretly carved with some backdoors when the chips leave the factory.

These backdoors are on the physical level, and cannot be discovered and blocked by software.

The core chips of mobile phones and computers currently used all over the world are under the America system, whether it is chips from Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, or chips from TSMC, MediaTek, and Samsung.

This is also the reason why Homo sapiens company does not allow the use of external communication equipment in the internal core area.

Perhaps a mobile phone, a sports bracelet, or a wireless earphone enter the laboratory, and the confidential files in the laboratory computer can be stolen. This is indeed impossible to prevent.

Therefore, even if Anthony is eloquent, he will never be able to touch any communication equipment in front of soldiers who absolutely follow the procedures.

Chapter 1: Accidental Discovery

20, April 1.

It has been a week since Christine and Anthony were captured.

Li Qingye on Bandon Island looked at the report in his hand with some surprise. Although he didn't know the situation of these two people, he still ordered:

"Fili, arrange for someone to transfer these two guys here."

"Yes, boss."

In the report document, some very important contents were reported, which also made Li Qingye understand more about the internal situation of America.

Christine and Anthony are not subordinates of the Black Ship. They are not in the same organization, but in a relationship of equal rank. Both belong to an organization called City on a Hill.

Judging from the information obtained at this stage, the city on the top of the mountain is inside America, or the two are one, just two sides, one bright and one dark.

Among the sub-organizations under the City on the Hill, three have been confirmed so far, namely the Black Ship, the Knights, and the Franklin Foundation.

The business of the black ship is intelligence work all over the world, and the CIA is part of its subordinates.

The knight is the agency that Christine and Anthony belong to. This agency is not a pure intelligence agency, but a special support agency that specializes in assisting other agencies under the City on the Hill.

The Franklin Foundation is composed of core executives of ABCD and other companies. This organization is mainly used to attract some small and regional consortiums, including Samsung, Fuji, Temasek and other consortia, which are secret members of this foundation.

Christine and Anthony, who were captured this time, belonged to the knight's intelligence support team. Although they didn't know much about it, it was clear that the information involved was very critical.

The members of the black ship captured before, or Victor, the governor of the black ship in Southeast Asia under surveillance, did not obtain much information about their superior organization.

……

the next day.

Christine and Anthony, who had already been remade, sat in front of Li Qingye dully.

And Li Qingye was looking at the genetic sequences of the two of them.

"Interesting, it turns out that the power of evolution has infinite possibilities." Turning the chair, he seemed to see some delicious food.

On the screen of the biological computer, the genetic sequences of Anthony, Christine, and Li Qingye himself were all displayed.

Li Qingye, who has undergone a comprehensive genetic modification, is different from a natural person.

The building wood factor can make the gene-locked gene sequence in the human gene lose its restrictive effect. After years of in-depth research, he found that it was not because the Neanderthal gene gave him those abilities.

If Neanderthal genes really hide powerful power, then they will not be eliminated by modern Homo sapiens.

To put it plainly: the gene sequence of modern Homo sapiens is like a maze that hides various things, and the building wood factor that Li Qingye obtained from the Neanderthal gene is a kind of blasting device that can destroy the walls of the maze, thereby Obtain the hidden things in the maze, but not all things are treasures, there may be traps and monsters.

As for why such things as Jianmu factor can be born in the Neanderthal gene.

Although Li Qingye still didn't understand the root cause, he also guessed some possibilities.

There are two most critical points.

First, Neanderthals and ancient Homo sapiens are both human races. Although the two have produced a certain reproductive isolation, they can still interbreed with a certain probability.

Second, the hybridization of the two destroyed the original gene sequence of the ancient Homo sapiens, and introduced the variable of the Neanderthal gene, causing problems in the gene sequence of some Homo sapiens.

Many people know that the offspring of Neanderthals and ancient Homo sapiens are the Caucasian and Yellow races among modern Homo sapiens.

Moreover, many studies have shown that the "pollution" of Nigerian genes has led to many genetic diseases in white and yellow people, which is a bad side.

But many people ignore another situation, that is, the Nigerian gene also brings some benefits, that is, the improvement of IQ.

Then why does the "pollution" of Neanderthal genes improve the intelligence level of Homo sapiens?Among them, the most polluted East Asian yellow people have the highest intelligence level among modern Homo sapiens?

Li Qingye's answer is: gene stability.

A race's million-year-level genetic inheritance, if there is no interference from foreign genes, its gene stability will be very high, that is, it will form a situation similar to a gene lock.

This is reflected most vividly in modern agriculture.

The development of human agricultural technology can be roughly divided into four stages: the stage of screening natural seeds, the stage of similar hybridization, the stage of genetic modification, and the stage of gene customization.

Why is hybridization technology starting to fail in the face of transgenic technology?

It is because the hybridization technology can only use the genes of the same species, but cannot use the genes of other animals, plants and microorganisms. In terms of the available genetic diversity, the two are not of the same order of magnitude.

For example, some plants naturally lack salt-alkali tolerance genes. Even if they barely find one or two related genes, can they still compare to those plants that are born in saline-alkali soil?

The interbreeding of ancient Homo sapiens and Neanderthals brought huge damage to the genetic stability of ancient Homo sapiens for millions of years.

This is both a crisis and an opportunity.

During the tens of thousands of years of hybridization, those bad individuals were eliminated by the natural environment, and the benign genes of the remaining individuals became more and more enriched, and the intelligence level naturally began to improve.

Until about 1 years ago, the intelligence level of Homo sapiens began to approach that of modern Homo sapiens, which is why human civilization began to develop.

Otherwise, ancient Homo sapiens have existed for tens of thousands of years, why did they wait nearly 10 years before entering the stage of civilization?

Obviously, it was the period of great interbreeding with the Nepalese that promoted the intelligence improvement of modern Homo sapiens.

Then why the current global hybridization has not allowed human beings to further improve?

First of all, many people simply understand the term "hybridization", thinking that as long as they are hybridized, they can produce excellent varieties.

But in fact, anyone who has done agricultural hybrid technology knows that two varieties with different advantages must be selected for hybridization, and the success rate is not high.

A modern Homo sapiens that has undergone multiple crossbreeding and purification, crosses with a primitive Homo sapiens, and there is a high probability that they will only get a better body and offspring with average or even low intelligence.

Are you trying to figure out the physical strength and mental retardation of primitive Homo sapiens?

Obviously, the advantage of modern Homo sapiens lies in intelligence. If we really want to show hybrid advantage, we must find a variety with the same intelligence, so that individuals with higher intelligence can be born in generations of hybridization.

This is the fundamental reason why, in the so-called "globalized hybrid era", there is no obvious hybrid advantage.

Because the female parent of hybridization must have its own advantages, if the female parent has no advantages, or even has serious disadvantages, then hybrid advantage is naturally out of the question.

Li Qingye used the wood-building factor to destroy his own gene stability, and obtained the ability to surpass modern Homo sapiens, which is similar to the first-generation transgenic technology in the process of agricultural development.

That is to say, modern human beings are still in the mixed era of natural breeding selection and hybrid breeding, while Li Qingye has entered the era of genetic modification.

This is version iteration, and the two sides are not at the same level.

Chapter 1 Ten Superman

The reason why Li Qingye sighed just now.

It is because in the long evolutionary process, there will always be mutations in some individuals, especially in the population explosion era of the 21st century.

The increase in population size naturally increases the probability of mutations appearing.

According to the accounts of Anthony and Christine, the institution of Cavaliers was first established after World War II in the last century, and then achieved great development during the Cold War.

At that time, America obtained a lot of heritage and talents from the Third Reich of Germany in Europe, including the Super Human Project.

After the superhuman project was acquired by America, it became the Institute of Human Special Ability through reorganization and localization. It was not until 1980 that it was renamed the current knight.

Anthony is a person with abnormal hearing, and his hearing is about 4 times that of ordinary people.

And Christine is a person with abnormal eyesight. Her eyes can achieve a visual slowdown effect in a state of concentration, so she was trained to be a micro-expression profiler.

According to the information provided by the two, there are about 3000 formal members within the Cavaliers. In addition, some children and teenagers with potential are recruited into the Cavaliers' training camp every year.

However, among these people, the proportion of useful abilities is not high, probably less than 20%.

In Anthony's training camp, only about 24% of people persevered in the end and overcame the genetic disease.

Li Qingye is not surprised by this. After all, genetic mutants may not necessarily mutate in a good direction, but more likely to mutate in a bad direction.

Even with so-called benign mutations, there are still some problems.

For example, Anthony, his hearing is about four times that of ordinary people, which means that when he talks to ordinary people, he must work hard to overcome the thunderous voice, and even a little bit of wind and grass around him will make him feel very troubled.

Therefore, the room where Anthony sleeps must be a special sound-proof room. If he goes out to work, he must also wear sound-filtering headphones and sound-proof earplugs.

Obviously, he can't control the volume of the sound he receives by adjusting it by himself like Li Qingye.

And Christine is also in the same situation. She often falls into a kind of chaos of time and space disorder. It is because she cannot accurately switch the slow vision, which makes her sometimes feel that the surroundings are slowing down, and sometimes she feels that the surrounding time is moving. accelerate.

Li Qingye looked through the gene sequences of the two people, and quickly found the abnormally expressed gene in the gene sequences of the two people.

At this time, the Homo sapiens company had already collected the gene sequences of hundreds of thousands of people in its internal gene database. Through the comparison of these gene sequences, it was easy to find abnormal genes.

Li Qingye listed the abnormal genes of the two of them separately, and then activated the search function.

[YC-72 gene...the matching result is 3...]

[YC-73 gene...the matching result is 1...]

[YC-74 gene...the matching result is 4...]

The abnormal gene in Anthony is a small fragment of 4 genes, while Christine is a small fragment of 7 genes.

During the matching process, no identical small fragments were found, but an individual with 75% coincidence with Anthony's abnormal gene fragment was found.

Christine found two, but one overlapped three-sevenths, and the other overlapped two-sevenths.

Take a look at the bios of all three.

The one that coincides with Antony's existence is a Honshavaddy deaf man.

As for the two people who overlap with Christine, one has no problems, and the other is highly myopic.

"Genetic diseases are indeed everywhere." He sighed helplessly.
