Chapter 422 Evolution of All Creatures
Meteorites contain some kind of energy. Is that energy beneficial or harmful to humans? Will the transparent liquid in the meteorites flow to the ground and affect the land? What is the purpose of the mutants storing and collecting the transparent liquid? All these questions need to be explored one by one.
Yu Jie wanted to get some of the mysterious liquid from the meteorite to see what it was.
But there are too many mutants surrounding the meteorite. They seem to know that the authorities will be interested in these liquids, so they have been living around the meteorite and will never leave unless there is something important.
Last time, eighty special forces were sent out, but they were unable to get close to the meteorite. If they wanted to get the mysterious liquid in the meteorite, they would have to send at least two hundred people to succeed.
Neither Qiao Wan nor Hu Ying went to this operation. Jiang Yue chose to participate. She also wanted Xia Xiaoman to go with her, but was rejected by Xia Xiaoman.
The last time she went out, she inexplicably absorbed some energy of unknown origin. It is still unclear whether this energy is harmful to the human body. If she is asked to go out again this time, she would never go even if she is beaten to death.
Xia Xiaoman sent a message to Jiang Yue, "Doctor Hu said that the energy emitted by the meteorite will be automatically absorbed by the human body. It's only been a few days since you last went out, and you went out again. Aren't you afraid of absorbing too much energy and turning into a primitive man?"
Jiang Yue replied, "I'm wearing radiation-proof clothing, so I'll be fine as long as I don't get in close contact. Are you really not going? If the liquid in the meteorite is beneficial to humans, you might be able to get some for yourself if you go with me this time."
"Forget it! I value my life. You should be careful. Last time we were just close to the meteorite, the mutants resisted so fiercely. This time you are going to steal their treasure, and they may fight you to the death."
"And after a few days, the mutants will come into contact with the liquid inside the meteorite. They may become stronger than before."
Jiang Yue replied with a relieved expression, "Yu Jie arranged for 200 people to travel this time, so it should be no problem. Just wait for me to bring back the meteorite liquid!"
…
The third time he went out to explore for meteorites, Jiang Yue was still responsible for controlling the drone and taking the lead, just like last time.
The mutants were all near the meteorite, so they did not encounter any mutant attacks along the way. But after entering the station, a blanket of rocks fell from the sky.
Jiang Yue controlled the drone to quickly dodge the rocks that were thrown at him, and couldn't help cursing, "Where did these mutants get so many rocks? They keep throwing rocks at him. It's endless."
Xie Yi said, "There's nothing around here except meteorites and stone fragments. What else can they smash if not stones..."
Before he finished speaking, the leading car suddenly disappeared on the ground, and the driver slammed on the brakes. However, the car was going too fast, and it was too late to brake at this time. The whole car fell directly into the pit dug by the mutants and fell on the leading car.
Before Jiang Yue and Xie Yi could react, they heard loud bangs. The mutants were throwing rocks into the pit frantically. After a while, the car body was deformed and Jiang Yue and his companions were trapped in the car, unable to get out.
When other vehicles saw this scene, they quickly surrounded the pit. Some people shot at the surrounding mutants, while others quickly took out rescue tools from the car and went down into the pit to rescue people.
On the other side, not long after Jiang Yue left, Xia Xiaoman received a message from Qiao Wan.
The official research institute's research results on the meteorite are similar to Hu Ying's previous guess. The composition of the meteorite is not much different from ordinary meteorites. The only difference is that the meteorite contains some special energy.
This energy can evolve all living things. Whether it is animals or plants, as long as they are covered by this energy, they will evolve. But the direction of evolution is not fixed, it mainly depends on the organism itself.
For example, some mutants have longer hands and feet, some have larger heads, and some have changed teeth or fingers. These are changes in appearance, and there are also changes in the body that are very different.
The research institute put ten steel-tooth rabbits and meteorites together. The appearance of some of the steel-tooth rabbits changed drastically, while the appearance of some of the steel-tooth rabbits did not change at all, but their IQ became higher, and they could understand human language.
"Do you mean that the energy contained in meteorites is good for human beings?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Qiao Wan said on the phone: "As long as the energy absorbed does not exceed the limit, it is indeed beneficial to humans and has no harm."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "If that's the case, then why would Maodan be so resistant to getting close to the meteorite?" Animals have a strong ability to seek benefits and avoid harm. If the meteorite is beneficial to Maodan, Maodan would not be so resistant to it.
Qiao Wan didn't know how to explain this problem and could only ask Hu Ying next to her for help.
Hu Ying took the phone and said, "It's normal for Maodan to resist getting close to the meteorite."
"The energy contained in meteorites can evolve organisms, but when this energy reaches a certain level, it will form an invisible pressure. When animals sense this pressure, they will subconsciously stay away from meteorites."
After returning to the dungeon, Maodan smelled the scent of the meteorite and remembered the terrifying pressure, so he let out a bluffing growl at Qiao Wan.
Xia Xiaoman roughly understood what Hu Ying meant. "That is to say, as long as the energy in the meteorite is properly absorbed, any organism can evolve and become stronger. So how do we control the direction of evolution?"
Hu Ying said, "The direction of evolution varies from person to person. What we can do is to clear the energy absorbed into the body. We can't let it get stuck in the body, and we can't absorb too much. Otherwise, we will end up like mutants, becoming neither human nor ghost."
"The laboratory is now recruiting 10 volunteers to participate in the meteorite research project to analyze and study how humans can absorb meteorite energy on their own, as well as the limits of how humans can absorb meteorite energy. If you are interested, you can sign up to participate."
Worried that Xia Xiaoman might misunderstand, Hu Ying added, "This research room is different from the previous ones. It is an open and fair research room. During the research period, you can withdraw at any time if you want to. You will not be forced to do anything."
"I have signed up. Registration closes at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
Originally, Qiao Wan also wanted to participate, but Yu Jie was worried that something might happen to Qiao Wan, as they would be left with only two people in Fucheng who could control the jade space, so she did not agree to Qiao Wan's application.
Hu Ying would participate simply because she was curious about the energy of the meteorite. She had tried to contact space energy before, but it might be that she was not meant to be with space energy. She was clearly doing the same movements as Qiao Yu, but she could not feel the space energy.
This time she can feel the energy of the meteorite up close, and she must give it a try. Maybe it can evolve her brain and allow her to replicate the lost prescription before.
