evolution?
Not only Su Xiao, but even the group of researchers following Academician Luo were unaware of it.
"Evolution? What evolution?"
Academician Luo said slowly, "This is something we've discussed privately. I haven't had time to tell you yet. Every change in the era not only represents the extinction of a species, but also a change in the environment. Fish are the earliest form of vertebrates. As they adapt to the environment, they will gradually evolve, as will amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds."
Zhu Yang nodded. "There are mermaids in the mountains and seas, immortal and ageless. They weep and their blood nourishes humans. This is a legend, but for us now, it may no longer be a legend. The blue planet will return to the ocean, and if humans can evolve, perhaps we will evolve into fish living in the sea."
"Fish?" someone was surprised. "Then, aren't we degenerating? How can that be called evolution?"
"Degeneration is the loss of the ability to survive and hunt, just like a lion kept in a zoo," Academician Luo said, with his own theory. "Evolution, on the other hand, means that humans have not lost their wisdom, but have not only adapted to new environments but also mastered cutting-edge energy technologies."
"Then are humans still human?" someone asked.
Zhu Yang said, "Humanity has never been defined as a four-legged animal shell. Facing the apocalyptic era, we are merely an endangered species. Throughout biological history, all animals have evolved in response to environmental changes. But no matter how we evolve, as long as we consider ourselves human, we are still human. Whether we are mermaids or orangutans, we are still ourselves, carrying the heritage of our race. Perhaps in the future, it won't be us who call apes our ancestors, but rather the apes who call us their ancestors."
The undead have tried to reproduce as humans, what else are they trying to transform into?
Now humans have only two choices.
Either extinction or evolution.
"Once the goal is to do this, it means we need to conduct countless experiments, which requires countless test subjects." Someone frowned.
Countless experiments mean the sacrifice of countless experimental subjects.
It's a dangerous and intimate reproduction experiment.
Academician Luo was leaning on his cane, but before he could say anything, Zhu Yang said softly, "I'll do it."
Lead by example.
Hearing this, Lidya Su couldn’t help but wrote down his doubts: “You didn’t ask Shen Shanshan?
Su Xiao even speculated whether Shen Shanshan became like this because of the experimental subject in District 17.
But Zhu Yang was calm.
“I did ask, but I think it was a deception.”
Su Xiao originally thought that what Zhu Yang meant was that there were no details about reproduction, but he didn't expect Zhu Yang to give another theory.
"The undead are currently in a conscious state. They can occupy human bodies and acquire human memories. In other words, they exist in a stream of consciousness. The symbol of human survival is life. The characteristic of life is that consciousness has blind spots and can be deceived."
"Take vision, for example. If the human eye stares at a red pattern for a long time and then suddenly switches to black and white, the eye automatically compensates for the color, and the first thing it sees is light green."
"As for the sense of smell, if you're in a place with a very bad smell for a long time, you'll get used to it over time. This is the adaptability of the sense of smell, but it can also be deceptive. Just because you don't smell something doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"Based on this, I believe Shen Shanshan's claim of being bullied was a deception of her consciousness by the undead. Different species generally have reproductive isolation, so how could they, as sentient beings, directly use ordinary human bodies to reproduce? So, they must have used some kind of energy-human gene fusion technology on her."
In an instant, Zhu Yang opened up the cognition in Su Xiao's head in another way.
This theory is well-founded and impeccable.
No wonder he is one of the top scientific researchers in the world.
