The cultivation class that the Fierce Dragon Squad had been waiting for had finally begun.
Everyone in the First Reserved Camp knew that it was an extremely important class. It was only a one-hour class, and after that, if they had any questions or needed help with their cultivation, they would have to pay Hope credits, and it would be quite a lot.
This was a lesson that would divide people into two groups.
Supermen, Homo Evolutis, and Purple Moon Warriors who had gone through cultivation.
Normal people and Old Humans who had not gone through cultivation.
Reality was cruel. Everyone had read about such terms in the database a long time ago. Maybe it was the only pride the Purple Moon era had when they faced the glorious old civilization.
"There's nothing to be proud of. Maybe if the old civilization took another step forward in molecular biology, they would focus more on themselves. Then, they would open up their own branch of civilization and enter this era." Yang Kong stood on the podium. He looked calm but solemn as he started the extremely important class with such an opening.
When it came to cultivation, people would always think of strength. However, this kind of strength class was not taught in a cultivation room or a place filled with male hormones.
Instead, it was a room similar to a laboratory.
The room was filled with bottles and jars, all kinds of instruments, and test tubes.
Yang Kong ordered his men to clean up the room and set up his teaching device. He then asked the others to sit on the floor and listen to the class with reverence.
"First, you will have to watch an experiment." Yang Kong tapped on the teaching device and the image appeared on the screen.
It was a set of glass instruments, and the focus was on a spherical glass container.
"This is the famous Miller Experiment. It's a set of experiments designed by a talented student from the old civilization under the guidance of his mentor, Yuri. Through this experiment, all of you will see a great transformation. "Yang Kong tapped on the teaching device a few times as he spoke.
Everyone saw the water in the spherical instrument start to boil. The device was connected to a high-frequency electric coil, which allowed the electrodes to discharge continuously.
"This spherical glass container mimics the atmosphere of our planet's primitive era. Back then, the atmosphere was mainly composed of hydrogen, methane, and ammonia. The boiling water mimics the evaporation of seawater, and the electric sparks mimics the discharge of the atmosphere in the primitive era.
"This experiment has been going on for a week. Here … "The image of boiling and lightning on the teaching instrument disappeared. Yang Kong opened the spherical container and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Tang Ling and the others saw something small.
"Amino acids." Yang Kong briefly explained before he looked at the others. "All of you have a fixed time for reading and studying every day. I'm sure you all know that one of the hard and fast rules for becoming a Purple Moon Warrior is knowledge. So, if you don't even know what amino acids are, it's best that you don't stay in the First Reserved Camp and report to the normal warrior camp. "
"I know that amino acids are organic substances. It is one of the basic components of life. Tutor, is this experiment demonstrating the process of transforming inorganic matter into organic matter? " When it came to learning knowledge, he, Vivian, and Christina were the most enthusiastic.
They thought Tang Ling was the least enthusiastic one.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling was the most enthusiastic one. His memory was astonishing. Others might think that he was flipping through the information casually, but he was actually jotting down large chunks of information. Whenever he was free, he would think about it and understand it.
"Andy is right. This Miller Experiment is a demonstration of the process. All of you must be shocked by the wonders of our planet's primitive era. It's as if a pair of invisible hands started to use the limited materials and laws to create life. " Yang Kong concluded. Because life was not easy to come by, all kinds of coincidences would make people hallucinate. It was as if the universe had a mind to create life on this planet.
Then, Yang Kong tapped on the teaching instrument a few more times, and a small object appeared on the instrument.
After zooming it in, Tang Ling and the others realized that it was a human cell.
"The human cell is the most basic unit of human life. In simple terms, it can be divided into the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
This is just basic knowledge, but here's the main point. " Yang Kong zoomed in on the cell diagram on the teaching instrument and focused on the part of the cytoplasm.
Upon a closer look, there were many tiny things in the shape of lines and grains.
"The organelles in the cytoplasm are called mitochondria. They will be the direction of your cultivation in the future. "Yang Kong took the pointer out from his pocket and pointed it at the mitochondria.
The way he stated the results first stunned everyone. The whole lab was unusually quiet. Even though there were a lot of questions, everyone's eyes showed the thirst for knowledge.
This was the power of knowledge. It was revered all the time.
Brute force did not have such power. It was the power of oppression and suppression.
"You must be curious. Molecular biology is as vast as the ocean, so I can only explain it in the simplest way that you can understand quickly.
If you don't even know the theory behind cultivation, you won't be able to go far. "
As he spoke, Yang Kong adjusted the teaching instrument again, and an ocean appeared on the screen.
"After a series of complicated changes, our ocean is filled with life. There are many simple life forms floating in the ocean.
You all know that life forms are hard to define. From a modern point of view, a single cell with a eukaryote is the simplest life form.
"What is a eukaryote? The most important definition is that it contains chromosomes and the number of chromosomes is more than one.
What are chromosomes? Do I need to explain? It's genetic material!
Regarding the birth of eukaryotic cells, the old civilization didn't fully understand it. There were many hypotheses, but none of them could convince the entire academic community.
"However, there is one hypothesis that is widely accepted. All the life forms on our planet have a common ancestor.
"We can imagine this history. In this ocean filled with life, one of our ancestors, a eukaryotic cell, devoured an ancient bacterium one day. Miraculously, the ancient bacterium was not digested. Of course, it did not devour the eukaryotic cell either.
"Then, they formed a strange symbiotic pattern. After that, they went one step further from the symbiotic pattern and formed a more complicated pattern called endosymbiosis. To put it simply, they have fused. "
"Then, they formed the first true compound cell. The devoured ancient bacterium turned into organelles, which are the chloroplasts in plants and the mitochondria in our cells.
"There is a complicated process behind all these changes. Based on DNA molecular biology, the ancestor of all life forms might very well be that eukaryotic cell. It's a eukaryotic cell that contains genetic information.
"Your genetic chain is derived from it. Don't you think it's magical? Could it be that they were wondering who it was that dropped this little bit of genetic information onto it? However, it's definitely not what we're going to talk about in today's class.
The point is, we're going to talk about mitochondria.
"What are mitochondria? In the old civilization, there's a saying that it's the energy source of cells. It's a power station or a factory that moves cells.
"Besides, mitochondria can be depleted. You can even read your lifespan from mitochondria. The shorter the mitochondria, the closer a human's life is to its end. On the other hand, it's still a new life. Of course, I'm talking about when there are no pathological changes.
"However, when every cell is full of vitality, pathological changes aren't that easy to develop.
Should we train our muscles or our bones? Should we train our brains or our organs? Neither. The real cultivation belongs to this era, and it's about training every single cell. The stronger ones are the mitochondria in the cells! "
Yang Kong's voice sounded a little high-spirited as he paced back and forth to calm the excitement in his heart. Tang Ling and the others, on the other hand, were burning with passion.
Yang Kong's theory had undoubtedly opened a brand new door for them. It was a brand new direction of cultivation, and it was much broader than the previous civilization's self-training.
"Then, the question is, why did the old civilization discover the wonders of mitochondria, but they couldn't really carry out research on this topic? I can't explain too much in this class, but I can tell you something from the old civilization to prove how lucky you are. I can't explain too much in this class, but I can tell you something from the old civilization to prove how lucky you are.
"It's about longevity. It's the eternal pursuit of humans. Some scientists once thought of lengthening mitochondria to increase lifespan.
"Unfortunately, before he could get the results, he found out a terrifying fact. After the mitochondria were moved, cancer was born. I didn't explain the experiment in detail, but there seems to be a set of rules that prevents humans from prying too much into the creation that belongs to God.
"You guys are lucky because of this era. Some taboo rules have been broken, and the rules of evolution are messed up. Or should I say, it's been greatly accelerated. Many of the cultivation methods that have been passed down have strengthened your cells and the mitochondria in your cells.
"However, the rules still exist. The mitochondria can't be strengthened infinitely by you guys. What is the rule? It comes from your genetic chain, and the more potential it has, the more your mitochondria can be strengthened. "
"I don't know, and I won't ask you what the visualization diagram you saw during the talent test was. But no matter what it is, did you guys feel the lock? "Yang Kong panted a little as his fair face flushed.
It was as if knowledge could bring him the greatest joy.
The members of the Fierce Dragon Squad did not say anything, but their gaze at Yang Kong said it all. They did feel the lock!
At the same time, Andy and Vian also looked at Tang Ling. Is this what the Genetic Chain Talent determines? As for Tang Ling … No, he should be the strongest among them all.
Tang Ling did not even care about the sympathy. He was more confident than anyone else.
Which boy did not like to flaunt his strength? Maybe he could reach the limit within the range and he might have some other fortuitous encounters. Vian thought in her mind.
Her thoughts also represented the thoughts of the other members of the Fierce Dragon Squad.
Of course, after listening to Yang Kong's explanation, Amir finally displayed his great confidence. It was also the first time he felt how powerful his five-star talent was!
After taking a sip of water, Yang Kong continued, "Now, do you feel how lucky you are? How lucky you are!
"In this era, a miraculous change that no one can explain has occurred. While this change has broken the rules, it has also brought many unpredictable unknowns to the future."
"Yeah, evolution is supposed to be a slow process. Even the Genetic Chain is evolving. It contains more and more genetic information, and it's getting richer. No one knows where the end is. But now, the Genetic Chain Lock has unlocked the secret and opened the path to the end. The end is the end of our generation, but what about the next generation? Maybe more people will find the location of their Genetic Chain Lock and become stronger. More locks will be discovered, and it will lead to greater development.
"So, the essence of cultivation is to strengthen every single one of your cells! Then, use your strength to break the lock that you see and continue to grow stronger until you can't find the next lock. "Yang Kong put away his pointer and looked at everyone excitedly.
"Great!" The members of the Fierce Dragon Squad were excited as well. They clenched their fists and set a clear goal in their hearts, which was to continue until they could not find the next lock.
**
After explaining the theory of cultivation, Yang Kong allowed the Fierce Dragon Squad to rest for a while before he started to explain the cultivation method.
When the break was over, everyone sat down again.
Yang Kong took out a box out of nowhere. It was an exquisitely crafted wooden box, but it was a wooden box with an exquisite design.
Yang Kong put on his gloves and solemnly opened the wooden box. There was a book inside.
It looked like a thread-bound book from ancient Huaxia with a blue cover. When Tang Ling saw the three big words on the cover, his heart uncontrollably raced. He could not hold back his astonishment, so he quickly lowered his head.
Yes, this thread-bound book had four distinct words on it: Thousand Satin Skill.
What did this mean? Did it mean that Kun had foreseen this? This was simply an extremely terrifying thing.
However, his tiny movement did not catch anyone's attention, not even Yang Kong.
With a solemn expression, he picked up the book and showed it to everyone. Then, he solemnly put it back.
"I think, as New Moon Warriors, all of you should know your place. There aren't many secrets about Safety Sector No. 17 to you anymore. I've told you before that Safety Sector No. 17 has its own secrets.
In your heart, what is the biggest secret of Safety Sector No. 17? The Level 2 Sector Protection Machine? The Hope Barrier? The Sky Tower? The Universal Source Rock? No, the Universal Source Rock doesn't belong to us yet.
"Now, I can tell you the answer. The biggest secret of Safety Sector No. 17 is this Thousand Satin Skill. It was originally a unique cultivation method of Safety Sector No. 17. It's the biggest treasure of the first castellan of Safety Sector No. 17.
"There are many stories surrounding it. What I can tell you now is that with Safety Sector No. 17's current strength, it's impossible for them to keep this Thousand Satin Skill. Of course, if it's complete, or if it's a refined version by someone powerful. Even so, Safety Sector No. 17 had to share it with some other factions in exchange for peace. "
Yang Kong was a little angry when he said that. Orston, who was the most reckless among them, clenched his fists tightly.
"You feel humiliated, don't you? If you feel humiliated, hurry up and get stronger! Don't let so much time pass and you can't conquer the battlefield ruins. The scale of the Safety Sector won't be able to expand.
"The predecessors have always worked hard for the sake of the descendants. Even if it's humiliating, they've protected the right to cultivate the Thousand Satin Skill. This cultivation technique is not complete, but the first three stages are complete, and the interpretation is also very complete. "
"You're lucky that you can cultivate a relatively advanced cultivation method in this small Safety Sector. So, before I start explaining everything to you, please remember what I've told you today. You're born in this era, and it's the two lucky points of the Safety Sector No. 17. "
Yang Kong then turned on the teaching device again. A human figure appeared on the device with hundreds of key points and a long paragraph of obscure ancient Huaxia words.
"The book in the wooden box isn't for you to read. It's just a symbol and a copy of the original. Based on your authority as a New Moon Warrior, you're only allowed to know the contents of the first level of the Thousand Satin Skill. It's fair to advance step by step, and it's also fair to exchange merits for the skill, "Yang Kong explained.
No one was bothered by the explanation because everyone's attention was captivated by the cultivation method on the teaching device.
What kind of cultivation method could be so magical that it could be cultivated to the cellular level?
Tang Ling's breath hastened. Would the addendum of the Thousand Satin Skill cause a huge difference in the way he cultivated compared to the others?
Would he become stronger because of it? There was no doubt that it was a product from the Mysterious Store.
On top of that, a strange thought popped up in Tang Ling's mind from that very moment onwards.
He thought of his vanished memories and the blank space.
It was the first time he doubted himself. Was he born in the settlement of Safety Sector No. 17? If he wasn't, then was he intentionally placed here?
What if he was really placed here? What for? Was it because of the Thousand Satin Skill?
Granny must know something, right? The uncle and aunt who adopted me must know something too, right?
However, why … have they all passed away already? Why did he leave him alive and struggling in the confusion of these puzzles?
