Mountains and seas close at hand

Song Banyan's eyes gradually became moist, staring at the copy paper in his hand, reading it over and over again.

After a long time, Song Banyan slowly folded up the letter: "This letter is incomplete."

Zhou Rao said: "When I got the letter, Lancinate had no reason to hide it from me, not to mention it was intercepted from the communication network she sent to the tutor."

Song Banyan rubbed the paper over and over again with his fingertips, and said in a sad tone, "No, it's because this letter is incomplete."

Both Zhou Rao and Bai Xunhua were extremely smart people, and they immediately understood the meaning of Song Banyan's words: When Dean Zeng Zhaoyu wrote this letter, he changed the draft three times and deleted many contents.

Doing so should prevent the letter from falling into the wrong hands, but it also prevented a lot of information from being conveyed to Song Banyan.

Song Banyan folded the copy paper and put it in his pocket, raised his head and asked Zhou Rao: "I've finished reading the sincerity, so what is the content of the cooperation?"

Zhou Rao smiled gracefully: "Can I ask Sister Bai and Sister Song to tell me what happened to you underground."

Bai Xunhua suddenly noticed something strange, why did Zhou Rao suddenly ask this.In terms of emotion and reason, the most important thing now is not Zhou Rao's abnormality, Song Banyan's origin, or the mentor's uncontrollable and dangerous nature.

Seeing that the two were silent, Zhou Rao nodded his shoulder helplessly: "Sister Bai, do you still remember the marker light? In addition to the GPS locator, there is also a data recorder, similar to a black box."

Bai Xunhua was startled, and immediately thought of "the 3 minutes that disappeared".She subconsciously glanced at her wrist, the hour and minute hands were all working normally.

This scene fell into Zhou Rao's eyes, and he lowered his eyes and said softly: "It turns out that Sister Bai found out. From the information analysis on the data recorder, you have disappeared for 3 minutes."

"Disappear?" Song Banyan frowned.

Zhou Rao nodded: "Yes, disappear, disappear out of thin air."

Bai Xunhua had thought about this problem before: "If we ever disappeared for 3 minutes, we must have disappeared with the indicator light. If so, how can there be data records."

Zhou Rao pulled out a monitor on the wall beside him and asked Atticus to call up the analysis chart.Bai Xunhua focused his eyes and found that the graph was like a brain wave band map, except that there was a short section that was unusually smooth and evenly undulating, just like a drawn wave symbol.

Bai Xunhua was silent for a while, and then mentioned the abnormality of the watch.Zhou Rao's eyes widened suddenly, shock and ecstasy were written on Xiaoyuan's face, which was as beautiful as an angel.

Song Banyan knocked on the table with his fingertips, glanced sideways at Bai Xunhua, and asked Zhou Rao: "Since we are talking about cooperation, let's be open and honest. Zhou Rao...well, is that the Zhou Rao I thought of?" ?”

Hearing her sudden question, Zhou Rao came back to his senses in surprise: "When did Sister Song find out?"

Song Banyan smiled gently: "It's our first time meeting."

The name Zhou Rao sounds very common, but if it is regarded as a noun.Those two words have special meanings.

"The country of Zhou Rao is in the east of Miemeng Niaodong. He is short and short with a crown." Song Banyan seemed to see Zhou Rao for the first time. Elegant and refined." ①

Bai Xunhua was secretly surprised. She thought Zhou Rao's situation was just a genetic mutation, but she didn't expect that there was a state-owned ethnic group with a clear history.If Banyan is right, this is a discovery of a new species that is enough to shock the world.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Rao turned his head to look at Bai Xunhua at this moment, showing a bright smile: "I once heard from my teacher that the coming-of-age ceremony of the Bai people is extremely strict, and you must capture the yellow beast with your own hands. The first time I saw Sister Bai, I I am still very worried, after all, it is impossible for yellow beasts to survive in this world."

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, and he seemed unsure: "Why does it seem to be different from what he said... Sister Bai, do you eat yellow horns?"

Song Banyan replied for her: "That's right, it's just a dead Chenghuang."

Zhou Rao suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this, no wonder."

Bai Xunhua listened to the question and answer between the two of them, and his doubts deepened.But she was always calm and calm, and she was not in a hurry to ask questions.On the contrary, seeing that she was silent, Zhou Rao took the initiative to explain, "Did Sister Song tell Sister Bai?"

Song Banyan thought about it and said: "My memory is incomplete, and I can remember something from time to time. In my impression, the Baimin clan has a special relationship with Chenghuang." Like a fox, there are horns on its quilt, and its longevity can reach a thousand years.'Chenghuang and Baimin are born together, so even if emperors such as Zhou Wuwang and Zhou Muwang have Chenghuang, they cannot use it to prolong their lives.”②

Zhou Rao nodded: "That's right, that's what the instructor said. Baimin and the tame Chenghuang are bonded together. During the ceremony of coming of age, if you can't capture the Baimin who tames Chenghuang, you will die due to lack of soul. He is probably This means, I'm not sure if the translation is accurate."

It is a strange experience to hear the secrets about oneself from others.But for Bai Xunhua, she wanted to know more about the truth behind it.

"Where is the origin of the Bai people? Or has it disappeared in history, but some genes are still inherited? How to distinguish them?"

Facing Bai Xunhua's three questions, Song Banyan immediately signaled Zhou Rao to come back.Zhou Rao was quite helpless: "Sorry, I can't answer these questions. The instructor told me this because he happened to be in contact with a Baimin."

Happened to get in touch with a Baimin?

Bai Xunhua's heart skipped a beat, could it be his father?Father had contact with that mysterious mentor?

Zhou Rao listened to her question, thought for a while and answered: "I secretly checked the history and whereabouts of my mentor, and the earliest clue I could find was in Alaska, USA in 1964. My mentor once said that he and that Baimin have been together for decades. There was a one-off relationship before, so it shouldn't be based on age calculations."

Bai Xun Hua An breathed a sigh of relief, but Song Banyan frowned slightly.

Zhou Rao continued: "I don't know much about the Bai people. I heard that their hair will gradually turn white when they reach adulthood, and after the ceremony of adulthood, they will become pure white like snowflakes."

Bai Xunhua pulled back a bunch of black hair, and pondered: "Because the original owner of the yellow horn I took has been lost and dead for many years. So I can't count as completing the gift of coming of age, and it can't be counted as incomplete."

"Yeah, you will always be in Baimin's childhood." Song Banyan grinned and blinked, "Tsk, it sounds a little guilty."

Bai Xunhua ignored her, thinking with interest: "Does that mean that the diversity of human genes is far greater than the existing scientific knowledge. At the beginning of species evolution, there were a large number of different human races. For various reasons, among them Some of them have been eliminated, but their genes have been retained through intermarriage and other reasons. But in most cases, these genetic factors are absolutely recessive genes. According to Mendel's law of segregation and free assortment, they will be in the Under certain circumstances, there is a small probability of genetic mutation, or the phenomenon of atavism?"

"That's right." Zhou Rao nodded, "That's exactly what I thought at first, but in the face of such a mysterious power as genes, individuals are too insignificant. Well, sister Bai, you should have heard of the 'Human Genome Project'."③

Bai Xunhua smiled: "I didn't expect it to be you who took the lead."

Zhou Rao nodded: "Around 1980, I started to have this idea. At that time, the United States invested a lot in this area and had a free academic market. The plan was proposed in 85 and officially launched in 90. The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and China. It took 10 years to complete the drafting. It took 16 years to complete the first human gene sequence.”

Bai Xunhua nodded slightly: "I was very impressed when I saw the news. It is said that it took 1 scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States 150 years to sequence the gene of chromosome 10."

Zhou Rao said with no idea whether he was pleased or regretful: "The pace of human beings is always a little slow. From Joshua's gene optimization in 1963 to last May, GlaxoSmithKline's gene repair therapy for children with severe illness was the first. Approved for listing. That guy is very proud." ④

Song Banyan listened quietly for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "You think the pace of science is too slow."

Zhou Rao sat upright on the chair: "On the contrary, I have always adhered to the concept of scientific understanding of the world. But before Galileo, Aristotle believed that objects fall at different speeds, which was also the consensus of most people at the time. .Scientific results are subversive, and methods can also be eclectic. Just like Becquerel discovered the phenomenon of radiation, but it is based on three completely wrong assumptions."

Song Banyan and Bai Xunhua looked at each other, and said lazily: "I'm very interested to know, how many hypotheses are you going to make? What kind of conclusions do you want to draw?"

Zhou Rao's sapphire eyes blinked: "I don't mind doing some pranks, but it doesn't mean that someone can ruin this world, after all it's so..."

Before Zhou Rao could finish his sentence, Atticus suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, the signal at the transfer station was cut off. It should be lancinate. She noticed that we disappeared and became suspicious."

"It's really fast enough." Zhou Rao bought himself a cup of cold black tea, and said with a little emotion, "I still remember the way she licked the milk pot when she was a child, like the little angel on the mural in the auditorium."

Song Banyan showed a strange expression, completely unable to imagine what it would be like to add milk to a lancinate.

A majestic jaguar with a milk stain on its mouth?

Bai Xunhua was not as carefree as Song Banyan, and the information he got from Zhou Rao made the already complicated matter even more confusing.

At this time, Zhou Rao had already sat back on the podium, pulled out the keyboard and began to crackle, and his tone became very neat: "Sister Song, the instructor wants Jiuzhou Ding."

Song Banyan raised his eyebrows: "He really wants a lot."

"No, he only wants one thing." Zhou Rao smiled slightly, "Power."

The author has something to say: ①The state of Zhou Rao is in the east, and he is short and small with a crown. ——Overseas South Classic

②Bai Minguo is in the north of Longyu, with white hair and body.There is Chenghuang, which is shaped like a fox and has horns on its back. The life span of Cheng is two thousand years. ——"Overseas Western Classics"

③Human Genome Project—Human Genome Project, HGP, a large-scale, transnational and interdisciplinary scientific exploration project.

④GlaxoSmithKline's gene repair therapy for children with severe diseases——In May 2016, the global pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline's gene therapy Strimvelis was approved for marketing by the European Union, becoming the world's first approved combination therapy for children with severe diseases. Gene repair therapy for immunodeficiency diseases.
