Star of Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 141
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Civilization Star Divine Tribulation!
The evolution of the organism itself is to adapt to the evolution of the natural environment, just like the disappearance of the human tail, the degeneration of the appendix, and the degeneration of the sole of the foot to form the arch of the foot, which seems to be the result of natural selection.
But when human beings step into space, the living environment changes too fast, and human beings cannot evolve autonomously in a short period of time. If there is a species higher than humans as a template that points the way, then evolution in that direction is simple.
However, human beings are already the spirit of all things on earth, and there is no biological sample to refer to, so what will be the direction of evolution?
At this time, it was thought that some kind of artificial catalyst could be developed to promote human evolution. However, the problem also arises – no matter how precious human’s desire for exploration is, the two viewpoints of transforming the environment vs. transforming human beings have always existed in academia, and they are deadlocked.
The environmental faction and the self faction are two distinct factions.
Modifying the environment seems like a good option, and it’s something that many people have been doing since civilization began. However, the resources consumed by the transformation can be described as extremely huge, which cannot be completed overnight, and the damage to the environment is huge. Once the natural environment changes, it has to be pushed back, and the risk will increase exponentially;
With the advancement of science and technology and the development of human beings in outer space, the advantages of the latter relatively less consumption are reflected. The more practical problems are in front of people. Many scientific predictions actually need extreme time and space to verify. The spatial scale and experimental environment on the earth are completely unsatisfactory. People need to find and observe the experiments that are taking place on the cosmic scale.
Therefore, changing human beings to become a more reasonable option is also a once and for all method.
The debate between the two factions has turned into a protracted and tit-for-tat storm of discourse in academia over the decades, affecting all fields of research.
Since the boundaries of nations on Earth have vanished, a new generation has come to realize that speaking alone is useless, and that technological advances and technological explosions will, in any case, accelerate the pace of human exploration. Solutions are weak and vulnerable in the face of actions long overdue.
Morgana’s point is clear – these are your own rules, she doesn’t recognize them.
The environmental faction and the self faction can develop at the same time, and their stages are different, so there is no need to argue.
But at the practical level, she is more inclined to transform humans themselves.
Because biologists’ conjectures about the origin of life should also be verified by looking for interstellar organic molecules on the cosmic scale. When human beings enter the interstellar age, its true value can only be fully realized in the future.
Therefore, changing human beings has become Morgana’s lifelong pursuit. She realized that the only way to deal with it was to take action and see the results.
The bitter cold wind of Antarctica cannot quench the fiery heart of human beings to explore, and the difficult journey cannot stop the pace of researchers.
A few weeks later, when the expedition arrived at Glacier No. 17 and stood beside the giant iceberg that has not melted for ten thousand years, as expected, they found treasures buried deep in the Antarctic underground glacial lake.
There is a huge primitive ecological circle here. The creatures at the bottom of the lake seem to have never evolved since their birth. The ecological change curve here is flat. The original submarine volcano was left here after the eruption, and still maintains the most life on earth. original look.
Humans have no way of knowing the original form of life on earth, so there have been many assumptions. One possibility is that the first small organic molecules may have appeared near hydrothermal vents, where there is enough heat and the right chemicals to provide the necessary needs for the evolution of life.
Microorganisms are the first organisms to appear on the earth and one of the oldest species. They perform photosynthesis and live in a large number of colonies for about three billion years; coral sponges have existed for nearly 800 million years; Primitive jellyfish, coelacanths, horseshoe crabs, and all kinds of animals and plants that cannot be named…
These creatures are older than the dinosaurs and should have gone extinct, but here are countless.
Morgana was completely shocked, and she was excited and happy. She immediately started work at the Antarctic base and studied frantically for a year.
During this time, she collected and sequenced thousands of biological samples. Most of these organisms are slime molds and algae, but also unnamed single-celled organisms, all of which maintain the characteristics of both plants and animals.
Finally, she returned to her laboratory with biological samples and research materials, and began to use genetic screening and editing technology to find the targets in her heart one by one.
Looks like this is what Morgana is looking for.
She firmly believes that homeotic genes will inevitably be born in these precious samples.

In the hall illuminated by green fluorescent light, the image information disappeared, Joyna was silent for a moment, and slowly stood up from the ground.
I don’t know how long it took, she has read hundreds of video materials. These materials are kept in the deepest part of Ross’s medical research laboratory, and it seems to be very secret, just like Morgana specially let her see.
Joyna twisted her neck, moved her body, and gathered her red hair, which was also smeared with green fluorescent light, turning into a strange mix of bright colors. She knew that the most crucial part of the information had not yet appeared.
Joyner couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
But at this moment, her expression became a little dazed, and she hesitated in her heart. Can’t tell if it’s worry, fear, or instinctive resistance?
Joyna was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said lightly, “Go ahead, play in chronological order.”
The artificial intelligence quickly replied, “The third-level authority has not been unlocked, and it needs to awaken the deep consciousness for authorization.”
what!
Who to wake up? What is deep consciousness?
Joyner was stunned for a while, staring at the machine on the wall repeatedly. She felt that she was being played badly by the other party.
With a “snack”, she slapped the wall-like machine casing with her palm, and a fierce momentum burst out of her body unconsciously.
“I want you right now! Right now! Play me the following message! Can’t hear you!”
“Boom-boom…drip-”
The floor under Joyna’s feet suddenly trembled a few times, and UU read www.uukanshu. She jumped to the side alertly, lowered her head, and saw several irregular cracks appearing in the position where she was standing just now, separating to the sides.
She suddenly realized that these cracks were by no means broken naturally, but that a certain mechanism was triggered!
A pipe attached to the wall was exposed, followed by countless messy cables. Finally, when the device hidden under the ground was slowly raised to be flush with the floor, and the sound of the mechanical operation stopped, a special petri dish made of alloy appeared in front of Joyna’s eyes.
“The third-level authority has been unlocked, and the deep consciousness response has been established…authorization passes…drop…” The voice of the artificial intelligence sounded.
“what?”
Joyna opened her mouth wide, speechless.
The outer cover of the alloy petri dish has been lowered, but there is nothing inside, only a small amount of light blue nutrients, about one-fifth of the full amount.
Did you unintentionally unlock the third-level authority?
But she had no idea what was going on!
