In a certain building in the Land of Heritage, in a genetic laboratory.
A group of powerhouses from the cultivation world was patrolling the laboratory.
"How's the progress on the genetic fusion between humans and demons, Professor Xiao?" A Lake-level powerhouse who looked rather old, at least in his sixties, asked faintly.
"Oh, everything's going well now. We first chose a few demons that are most similar to humans to cooperate and extracted some genetic samples for fusion experiments. So far, the progress is good." A middle-aged man with a square face, wearing a white coat, answered seriously.
The Lake-level powerhouse was interested and immediately asked, "Which demons are they?"
"Pigs, monkeys, killer whales …" Professor Xiao adjusted his glasses and listed.
"Uh, this pig is actually ranked first. Interesting, isn't it?" The Lake-level old man turned and smiled at the others.
"Hehe, Old Man Gu, you're really ignorant. Don't you know that pig's organs are the closest to human's? Many medical transplants use pig's organs, "a young man mocked arrogantly.
"Uh, sir, up until now, there hasn't been a real case of pig's organs being transplanted into humans," Professor Xiao pointed out sincerely. "With the arrival of the Shenyuan era, many cutting-edge medical research has been interrupted because a lot of research funds have been allocated to the direction of mysterious research."
"Hmph, stop after tasting it. A bottle isn't full, and a half-empty bottle is swirling. You're only so-so, kid. You still have to listen to the experts, "the old cultivation powerhouse immediately retorted.
The young man's face darkened and he glared at Professor Xiao, wanting to explode.
"What are you trying to do? Little Wen, you're not humble at all. If you're wrong, then you're wrong. Do you really care about your reputation? "A leader immediately reprimanded him.
"I'm sorry, Captain Zhao, I was wrong." The young man with the surname Wen immediately became dispirited. Although he looked down on these powerless researchers, he did not dare to question his leader.
The latter's authority was established through battle after battle.
"Yes, Professor Xiao, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline him well and caused you to be frightened," the leader apologized seriously.
"It's fine, I'm used to it. It's the new era, and we're all in the logistics department. We don't have the status we used to have," Dr. Xiao said half-seriously and half-grumbled. He then continued, "Now, I'll show you a few fusion results."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Xiao. After you."
"Let's go together."
A group of people went next door and saw a Halfling with a "pig's head" sleeping comfortably in a clean glass shed.
"This is test subject number one. He was originally a volunteer who fused with the genes of a powerful pig demon. Now, he could eat a lot of things, and even in extreme conditions, he could survive by eating soil. This way, the future Interstellar Pioneers' ability to adapt to the environment will be greatly enhanced. If they really can't take it anymore, they can chew on rocks and soil, "Dr. Xiao said seriously.
"Hiss …" The group of cultivators looked at each other.
"Aren't you guys too cruel? Can people still be called humans like this?" Old Man Gu could not stand it anymore.
"Hey, that's not bad. We'll be able to save money when we pay our salaries in the future. Everyone can take home 500 kilograms of soil." Someone ridiculed.
Dr. Xiao's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he did not say anything.
A young female researcher beside him could not help but refute, "Do you think this is what we want to research? Isn't this the research requirement set by you leaders? "
"Yes, Little Xu, don't talk to the investors like this. After all, they're right." Dr. Xiao shook his head. "But this is the truth. We researchers can't decide the direction of our research."
At this moment, someone asked in a serious tone, "This soil and rocks don't contain energy. Even if they can be digested and decomposed, they can't provide the energy needed by the human body, right?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at the person who asked the question.
The person had a slender figure and was dressed in a suit. He looked very capable and experienced. One look and they could tell that he was a business elite from the past era.
There was actually someone who had this kind of idea!
"Hehe, this definitely wouldn't work in the past, but isn't it the Era of Vitality now? Soil and rocks are also soaked in vitality. As long as it's eaten, through this pig demon's unique genes, it can be converted into energy. Hasn't the mutual conversion of natural energy and vitality been achieved long ago? So in theory, this can be achieved. "Dr. Xiao still explained in a serious tone.
"That's true. This vitality is the same as air. It's free and has a use value, but it has no exchange value. In other words, it can be used without spending money." The capable business elite nodded. "In this way, the cost of manpower can be greatly reduced. Your research is very good."
"Hmph, what a crooked way." Old Man Gu said in disdain.
People should eat properly. This mysterious technique turned people into creatures that ate rocks and soil. No matter how he looked at it, it was crooked.
However, he could not voice any more objections. There was no lack of solar energy when it came to developing planets in the universe. In other words, there was no lack of vitality. However, not every place could grow food.
"Hey, I have another question. Now that the food problem has been solved, what about oxygen? There are many places without oxygen. "Someone continued to ask.
"Oh, we're also studying this problem. There are many anaerobic bacteria on Earth, but there are too few that have turned into demons. However, there's an idea. I heard that the all-purpose bacteria in a nearby food factory seemed to have signs of intelligence. If it turns into a demon, we can communicate with it and fuse part of its genes with humans. Then, we can convert different gases into oxygen for humans to absorb. We can even turn humans green and produce organic matter on our own. "Dr. Xiao continued to analyze.
"Enough!" Old Man Gu suddenly became irritable. "What kind of nonsense ideas are these? If this goes on, humans will no longer be humans. How can there be humans in the future? Everyone will become transvestites!"
Although the old man was old, he was a Lake-level powerhouse. His voice was loud and shook the entire laboratory. Some utensils shattered with a "bang".
"Brother Gu, why are you doing this? This is a serious scientific discussion, not the time to lose your temper!" The leader stood up and pointed, calming the surroundings.
"Hmph, you guys continue to discuss. I'll go find the Great Venerable Dragon God to uphold justice!" Old Man Gu turned and left.
"The older one gets, the more narrow-minded he is. What's the difference between him and a child?" Someone looked at Old Man Gu's back and said disdainfully, "Besides, as long as it doesn't cross the line, the Dragon God won't interfere with the internal affairs of humans. What's the point of him looking for him?"
"Hehe, we have to tolerate different viewpoints." The leader shook his head. "Dr. Xiao, are these experimenters completely voluntary?"
"Of course. We promised to provide them with cultivation resources and signed an accidental death protection agreement. Although we can't afford a billion magical energy points for a perfect reincarnation, it's still easy to reincarnate into butterflies or ants, or become robots. In the new era, people's fear of death is getting lower and it's easier to find volunteers. We'll be able to eat for three years if we give it our all. "Dr. Xiao said humorously.
"That's good. Your efforts are effective. Although people won't understand it for a while, just like how many new technologies are demonized when they first come out, everyone will acknowledge it in the end." The leader comforted.
…
The Dragon's Cave in Qi City.
Old Man Gu flew all the way from the arcane realm.
In his opinion, to stop this evil trend, only a righteous Divine Dragon could do it!
When he arrived in front of the Dragon's Cave and told Butler Zheng the reason for his visit, he sat on a green rock and could not help but be angry.
"What do you think this is? Researching such a rebellious technology is against human ethics! We humans have evolved for millions of years, yet we're going to become pigs and dogs in the end. Can we still be called humans? "
Butler Zheng said helplessly, "Old Mister, don't be angry. You can't tell good from evil, right from wrong. It's just a technological route. They're also doing it for the rapid development of humans. In the face of survival, appearance isn't important. "
"But, but we haven't reached that step yet, have we?" Old Man Gu held his breath. "When I saw that pig-headed man, I wanted to slap him to death. This is simply humiliating. I don't want my descendants to be scolded as bastards in the future!"
"Calm down first. I'll report to the Venerable One now." Butler Zheng comforted him.
"Alright, alright. Go quickly." Old Man Gu waved his hand and urged.
