This was Luo Nan's basic line of thought. However, he had never systematically researched the current mutation technology, nor had he ever thought deeply about what the most reasonable evolutionary path for the human population should be. Therefore, he still held back a bit in his speech.
"If the current mutation technology is based on the widespread adoption of foreign genes as a basic starting point, carrying out reconstruction, or simply seeking to mutate after infection, then I feel that we shouldn't use the word 'awakening'. It will cause misunderstandings."
"To put it bluntly, genetic modification or recombination are both more appropriate. However, if it really is an example that I've seen before, then 'mutation' is still the most appropriate word. It allows one to understand the high degree of uncertainty of foreign genetic contamination and the consequences of mutation. There's no need to confuse other concepts. "
Star Shaman laughed when he heard this. "Professor Luo's way of speaking is a bit like a spokesperson. It's watertight, but it lacks the drive to subvert tradition from earlier... Actually, I'm quite looking forward to the dominant force of someone other than myself!"
Luo Nan looked at this pretty boy Extraordinary, ignoring the obvious mockery and hidden stabs in Star Shaman's words.
Luo Nan had experienced the Relay Station and had come into contact with the silhouette of the Heavenly Yuan Empire's struggle in the Hanguang System. He was solemn and serious when it came to such topics. He would not argue with others with his emotions.
He maintained a calm attitude and organized his thoughts. He responded in a manner that was neither fast nor slow, "The topic of evolution is far too big. Especially when it is magnified to the level of a population. It's not wrong to consider a broader path of choice. It's fine to discuss the angle of entry and the direction of the future. It's just that one must be more cautious than the last step."
"I very much agree with Ms. Wan's words on this point. The research is still in its initial stages. The structure of the body has yet to be completely explored and its marvels exhausted. Rashly introducing external factors will only make matters more complicated.
"For me, if I want to complete a work, I'll need to make a large system before the core design and train of thought is clear and refined... I won't rule out the possibility of success, but that's a standard gamble of probability. 'One general achieves success on the bones of ten thousand people' is an optimistic estimate.
"Therefore, first solidify basic research step by step, from simple to complex, obtain a method theory, and then guide practice... This path is a bit old, but it's still more realistic, right?"
The Star Shaman frowned. He was quite surprised that Luo Nan, who had been willful and unbridled, would be so steady and conservative when discussing this topic.
He wanted to argue, but his status as an Extraordinary and his basic intellect still made him relatively rational in the end. He just shook his head slightly. "The current situation is that even if the Extraordinary from back then didn't have the ability to do so, they wouldn't have been able to do so.
The evolutionary path also had a considerable proportion of people who used the template of Extraordinaries to reverse engineer it. On this point, there is no difference between evolution, mutation, and bloodline … Can basic research derive supernatural powers from traditional basic research? "
Blood Demon jumped out to object before Luo Nan could say anything. "Xingxing, you're being unkind. Can the research before World War III and the research after World War III be the same? Have you broken the definition of 'basic research'? "
Wan Liuhua also said, "The basic research and theories regarding supernatural powers have always been enriching. The research on the 'X factor' of the external environment, the research on the internal genes, and also the research on aberrations. It's more appropriate to look at it in a comprehensive manner. They are indeed influencing each other. "
This was a fair statement.
Wan Liuhua paused for a moment before smiling once more. "I feel that the concept of configuration that Mr. Luo proposed on the basis of Formatting Theory is quite good. Under special circumstances, the adaptability and adjustment of the body and mind must be taken into consideration. A completely new life structure needs to be sufficiently coordinated with the internal and external environment. My school calls this a secret contract, while Mr. Luo calls it configuration …. "
Constance followed up with her words. "This is too rough. Black Lion is completely correct in saying that it's a concept design."
Blood Demon chuckled. "That's why we need to search for the details and rules behind the roughness. From the looks of things, Brother Luo has walked to the forefront. He's at least in the first echelon. He's much more reliable than aberrations! "
"This …. I don't deny it." Constance actually expressed her approval, catching many people off guard.
No one knew what kind of expression Constance had under her hood, but her voice was exceptionally calm. "Actually, I like the Cage Theory a bit more. It can open up an unprecedented train of thought."
"These people seem to be talking about matters on the genetic level when they talk about evolution. But clearly, the development of the mental side is much less restricted.
"The powerful ego of ability users and the introduction of the mental plane are destined to be impossible to rely solely on the research of the objective world. The existence of the ego and the mental world are equally important. It's better to have new subversive theories added to the mix than a pool of stagnant water. "
The Star Shaman had one hand on his hip. He had a bitter smile on his face. Clearly, Constance's stabbing in the back wasn't light.
However, with these words, the topic shifted to the mental side and the fleshly side.
There was absolutely no need to worry about awkward silence in this field that involved the direction of human evolution and the fundamentals of cultivation.
But this way, the sensitive topic that had nearly stabbed Li Wei in the face was unconsciously dispelled.
Luo Nan glanced over and saw Black Lion rubbing his belly with a grin.
Luo Nan didn't mind this at all.
In fact, listening to these Extraordinaries discuss whether the fleshly side or the mental side was more suitable for conducting pilot research had stirred up his thoughts.
He couldn't help but think of the vicious environment of the relay station.
From what Luo Nan had seen in reality, it could be said that the fleshly foundation was more stable than the mental plane.
Under the vile environment of the Light Concealment Galaxy, people practically didn't have the leeway to release their soul strength. Even if they could release their soul strength, they needed to be extremely cautious and possess a corresponding medium. In this way, the glorious achievements of the related fields suffered a destructive blow.
Even those existences on the pure mental plane, like the Magnetite Mica Jellyfish, were tyrannical enough to survive in the vicious environment. They still needed to borrow a material medium, like water vapor and the like.
Hm, a medium? Did he make a mistake earlier?
A light flashed, and Luo Nan's telepathic thoughts subconsciously swept through the clouds in the sky. Then he clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Brother Luo Nan?" Black Lion turned his eyes over. "Do you have any brilliant ideas?"
Of course, Luo Nan couldn't say that he had been lost in thought just now and had suddenly broken through an important mental checkpoint for restoring the Magnetite Mica Jellyfish. He just laughed and shook his head, but everyone else was staring at him. He couldn't just let this pass.
He muttered to himself for a moment, then said, "I'm just thinking that the things we've discussed are a bit more general, and the construction elements are a bit less detailed. This only proves that our overall understanding is far too lacking. It's not just about ourselves, but also the present …. Including the future environment.
As he spoke, he thought of Her Majesty Empress Wu's judgment that the mental side had no future. He also thought of Liang Lu's cautious and meticulous attitude when it came to the lamination interference technology.
Luo Nan had a feeling in his heart, and this led to the next proposition. "I heard you guys talk about the X-factor. Is it referring to the conditions that ability users have suddenly produced since the Era of Distortion?"
Blood Demon rubbed his chin. "This' suddenly 'is quite intelligent."
"Suddenly rising. Suddenly falling. Suddenly changing."
Luo Nan repeated the word 'suddenly' several times. It was impossible to express his current feelings otherwise. "Then, will this condition be maintained in the future? Will it produce new changes? If it will, what will cause this change? Will it be controllable or uncontrollable …. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. "
Actually, Luo Nan wasn't having a headache. It was just a sudden pessimism.
