Chapter 616 Natural Selection
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan was so shocked that he put down his chopsticks.
Shen Yanming was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that impetigo would come like this.
This situation is a bit complicated, and I'm afraid it can't be solved by human power.
Dean Xu saw the fear in everyone's eyes and continued, "Let's move on to the second thing, which is that the sunlight mutation this time caused natural selection."
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he slowly said: "Recently, we have received many reports that 'food is bitter'. This includes rice is bitter, noodles are bitter, vegetables are bitter, fruits are bitter, and even meat is bitter.
Researchers from our branches in various cities conducted on-site investigations overnight and eventually discovered that all bitter foods were related to the abnormal sunlight this year.
Have you noticed that when you harvest wheat, many plants wither. When you harvest vegetables, many leaves wither.
There are also many fruits that are not yet ripe, or have just ripened, but they fall off the tree trunks and fall to the ground without any wounds.
These are the sources of bitter foods that have been reported recently.
Because plants are undergoing natural selection, those that are not adapted to the new living environment will be eliminated.
The ones that remain are the species that have adapted to the changing sunlight."
Dean Xu signaled to his assistant to project the photos and videos of animals and plants collected by the researchers in various places to everyone.
He pointed to the withered wheat and rice in the video and said: "When you cook, the more discarded plants you mix in, the more bitter the food will taste.
This is also the reason why some people recently discovered that newly harvested grains are bitter, while others did not find them bitter at all.”
Dean Xu pressed the remote control in his hand and switched to another screen.
“This phenomenon is not only reflected in plants, but also in animals, including humans.
Have you noticed that there are very few mosquitoes this year? Compared with last year, it is much better.
But are these really the result of last year's special pesticides? Not necessarily!
As a species that has been reproducing on the planet for 100 million to 200 million years, how could it be possible that a mere pesticide almost caused the species to become extinct, don’t you think? "
Seeing everyone nod, Dean Xu continued, "This is because the little bugs have no protection and cannot survive in the mutant sunlight, and they die one after another, so everyone feels that these little things suddenly disappeared.
However, those who remain are the ones who can adapt to the mutated sunlight.
In the future, their reproductive capacity may be enhanced, and their blood-sucking ability may be several times that of ordinary mosquitoes.
Therefore, some things need to be prevented in advance.
Of course, these are just our guesses, and further observation is needed to see what will happen. After all, science is based on data.”
Dean Xu showed some photos of poultry and livestock, and said to everyone: "Poultry and livestock are mostly raised indoors, so they are not greatly affected.
But there are also many that are released outdoors to roam freely.
In this way, through comparison, we can find that many chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep begin to lose their appetite and look listless.
They don't lay eggs, mate, or even call out, all because they can't adapt to the changes in sunlight.
Although still alive, he is not far from death.
As for the wild animals in the wild, the situation is similar.
The strong ones become the best in the group and take the leadership, while the weak ones begin to be abandoned and left to fend for themselves.
This is called, natural selection.
Only the fittest will survive.”
Dean Xu closed the projector, looked up and said to everyone: "Some animals and plants died, and some survived. These are only short-term effects.
In the long run, changes in population numbers will inevitably impact the food chain.
We have no way to change this and can only wait for nature to reach a new balance.
It is hard to say what we will face in this process.
In this regard, I suggest that friends who raise poultry and livestock can put the poultry and livestock in your home or farm in the sun from now on and let them receive sunlight.
Those that cannot adapt to environmental changes can be eliminated appropriately, leaving only the strong ones for breeding and reproduction.
The same advice applies to plants.
Withered or malnourished plants can be discarded appropriately.
When sowing in autumn and winter, choose seeds from plants with strong traits so that you can maintain high grain yields and better grain taste in this increasingly deteriorating environment.
Of course, it must be pointed out here that the mutant sunlight only changes a certain fragment of the genes of animals and plants, causing them to taste worse and more bitter when expressed.
There is no impact on the nutritional structure.
So don’t panic, even the grains and vegetables that are not adapted to the changes in sunlight are not toxic and can be eaten. They just taste terrible.”
At this point, Dean Xu changed the subject and said, "In fact, impetigo in humans is also the result of natural selection.
We, like animals and plants, are not adapted to the changes in sunlight, which is why we show the trait of pustules on our bodies.
So why do animals and plants not have pustules, but humans have these unsightly, spreading pustules on their skin?
That's because if the plant doesn't adapt, it will become half-dead or even die.
Most animals have thick fur or feathers to protect them from sun damage, so they are less affected.
Only creatures like insects that have no protective measures will die in large numbers due to their inability to adapt.
Of course, as I just said, the world needs a balance, and once they get through it, their capabilities in all areas are likely to be enhanced.
By then, those little bugs will be even more difficult for humans to deal with.
Let's talk about ourselves. We all know that the skin is the largest organ of the human body, which blocks most of the damage to the human body from the outside world, including the mutated sunlight.
So when the skin is injured, it needs an outlet to express itself, and that is the pustule.
We humans are pretty interesting, too.
They are clearly the creature least adapted to mutated sunlight, but because of their intelligence, they choose to use various tools to block the sunlight, or directly change their biological clocks to hide during the day and come out at night.
Even further, medical means can be used to artificially block the damage caused by mutated sunlight, or to change the human body's sensitivity to mutated sunlight.
In this way, humans can become strong and survive on this planet through their own wisdom."
After President Xu said this, everyone smiled with relief.
After listening for so long, there is finally some good news.
