Chapter 559, Sand Ant Beast

Low-level genes, high-level genes, intelligent genes, and divine genes are the four stages of biological gene evolution divided by the scientists of the Empire. The scientists of the Empire have always been committed to finding divine genes so that they can be integrated into ordinary creatures, so that ordinary creatures can also have all kinds of incredible abilities.

Divine genes are not uncommon, at least in the Empire. The Empire has a large group of high-level Yuanli warriors, and each of them has more or less evolved a part of their genes to the stage of divine genes, especially after reaching the immortal level, the ability is even more powerful and terrifying.

However, the laws of the Empire strictly prohibit the use of humans for biological science experiments, and this is an order issued by Li Fu, so the scientists of the Empire have been crazy, but they can do nothing about it.

Of course, there is another reason. In the Empire, the people with deeper Yuanli cultivation are often the top leaders and elites of the Empire. Naturally, it is impossible to use them as guinea pigs for experiments.

As for why Li Fu issued such an order, it was naturally Li Fu's own thinking. From the seeds of civilization of the super-civilized Han Dynasty Technology Empire, Li Fu had seen many powerful civilizations, including some powerful biotechnology civilizations. After these powerful biotechnology civilizations developed to a certain level, they recklessly modified and strengthened their own genes.

In the end, the development went astray. The mother gene of the entire civilization was gradually lost in the wanton transformation and strengthening of the long years. The entire civilization was often destroyed in its own hands. Many of them lost their reproductive ability, and the population continued to decrease, and finally went to destruction.

The stronger the gene, the weaker the ability to reproduce. The more profound the Yuanli cultivation, the more difficult it is to reproduce the next generation. Once you become immortal, it is almost impossible to reproduce the next generation.

Almost everyone will pursue their own strength and long life. Once the Pandora's box of gene enhancement is opened, no one will be willing to practice slowly. They will obtain all kinds of incredible powerful abilities in a very short time through gene enhancement. Once the entire empire is like this, then the empire will follow the old path of other biological civilizations.

This is why Li Fu has always strictly prohibited human experiments. He considers the empire from a long-term perspective and does not let the empire go to extinction due to the development of science and technology.

The naturally evolved mother gene may be very weak, but the reproductive ability is strong. The race can continue to reproduce and grow. Moreover, through the cultivation of Yuanli, the citizens of the empire can continuously achieve self-strength and progress. There is no need to abandon the main point and carry out gene enhancement, which will also bring huge risks.

In Li Shukuang's laboratory, Li Shukuang was hesitating at this time, whether to test the only surviving experimental body that has fused the mutant B1 gene with the demon virus. In Li Shukuang's inference, this B1 gene is definitely an important reason why the mutant can withstand the demon virus.

"The sand ant beast is a beast from the Orion spiral arm 3-level cosmic civilization Portula civilization. Should we use more sand ant beasts to conduct experiments first to see if they can all fuse the B1 gene."

When Li Shukuang was hesitant, Li Fu came out from an unknown corner.

"Ancestor."

As soon as Li Shukuang saw it, he immediately said respectfully.

"No need to be polite. I just came here to see you. I heard that your research has made new progress."

"It's not much progress. It's just that among the many experimental subjects, there is finally an experimental subject that can perfectly fuse the B1 gene. As for the B2 gene, there has been no progress."

Li Fu and Li Shukuang began to chat. Both of them are masters in the field of biological science research and have profound attainments in the field of biotechnology.

With Li Fu's suggestion, Li Shukuang started a new experiment and used 100,000 sand ant beasts to conduct gene fusion experiments. The experiment was very successful. Among the 100,000 sand ant beasts, more than 30% of the B1 gene was successfully fused. Obviously, the genes of sand ant beasts should be able to adapt to the B1 gene very well.

"The ancestor is still more experienced. Now there is no scruple at all. We can let go and conduct various experiments."

Having obtained 30,000 successful experimental subjects, Li Shukuang was naturally ecstatic.

"Inject the demon virus!"

The first experiment was to test Li Fu's conjecture. The B1 gene is used to adapt to the demon virus.

Soon, as Li Shukuang gave the order, the mechanical arm began to inject the demon virus into 100 sand ant beasts. Although the sand ant beasts have the same "ant" in their names as ants, they are naturally related. The appearance of the sand ant beasts is indeed similar to that of ants, but the sand ant beasts are ants that have been magnified by who knows how much. They are very large, with a foot of several meters long and an amazing bite force. On the sand ant beasts' home planet, the sand ant beasts are a very powerful top-level creature.

The results of the experiment are exactly the same as Li Shukuang's inference. The sand ant beasts with the B1 gene are not afraid of the demon virus at all. They carry antibodies to the demon virus in their bodies, while the sand ant beasts without the B1 gene all died of gene collapse under the demon virus.

"As I inferred, this B1 gene is the gene used to immunize the demon virus. Only the sand ant beasts that have integrated the B1 gene can withstand the demon virus."

"But this B1 gene did not give the sand ant beasts powerful abilities. It can even be said that apart from the ability to be immune to the demon virus, there is no difference between it and the sand ant beasts that have not integrated the B1 gene. It is equivalent to taking a demon virus immune vaccine."

"But does the use of the B1 gene only gain the ability to be immune to the demon virus? Will it be related to the integration of the B2 god gene?"

Li Shukuang thought carefully in his mind. All the experimental subjects that integrated the B2 gene died, and none of them succeeded. Obviously, this must be related to the B1 gene.

"Let's try integrating the B2 gene."

Thinking in his mind, Li Fu quickly led his team to continue research. In a blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

"Incredible, incredible, it is actually possible to fuse the B2 gene, and such a huge change has occurred, it is simply incredible!"

Li Fu looked at the experimental products in the huge laboratory, and the whole person was ecstatic. He used three "incredible" to express his excitement. In recent years, he has tried to fuse the B2 gene into the sand ant beast, and it has been surprisingly smooth. The sand ant beast that has fused the B1 gene has perfectly fused the B2 gene, and has also undergone huge changes and possessed powerful magical powers.

In the huge laboratory, a giant sand ant beast with a length of more than 500 meters, a width of 100 meters, and a height of more than 200 meters standing on 8 legs is now madly colliding with the laboratory. Every collision makes the entire space city tremble constantly. In the room made of degenerate materials, every impact of the giant sand ant beast can leave a deep dent, which shows how powerful the sand ant beast is. You must know that this is a degenerate material, and for safety reasons, the thickness of the degenerate material is several meters.

"Swoosh~"

A series of optical magnetic traction beams shot out from all directions, trying to control the sand ant beast. The powerful optical magnetic beams were like extremely tough ropes, binding the sand ant beast. However, the sand ant beast did not give up struggling. The huge force kept pulling, and even the space seemed to tremble faintly.

Suddenly, the sand ant beast stopped struggling, and then Li Shukuang clearly felt a terrible breath bursting out from the sand ant beast. This terrible breath was the same as when he faced the mutant creatures. Regarding the power, the mysterious "momentum" appeared again.

"Snap~ Snap~"

The optical magnetic traction beams that bound the sand ant beast began to break one after another under the powerful force. This was a phenomenon that had never happened before. Even the mutant creatures that also mastered the "momentum" did not break free from the optical magnetic traction beam, but the sand ant beast broke free, and the optical magnetic traction beam broke like a rope.

"This, this, the muscles of ants are the most developed in nature. Ants can lift objects that are more than 400 times their own weight. Could it be that this sand ant beast is born with genes suitable for strength?"

"This 'momentum' is the mystery of strength. After integrating the B2 gene, the magical powers possessed by the sand ant beast are hundreds of times stronger than those of mutant creatures. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to compete for the optical magnetic traction beam. This is the only explanation."

Li Shukuang's eyes widened, and his mind quickly thought.

"Not good!"

However, soon, Li Fu screamed in shock. Because he broke free from the optical magnetic traction beam, the sand ant beast wanted to rush out again. The terrible impact made the entire space city tremble. A huge hole appeared in the room made of thick degenerate materials. Another such impact was enough to rush out completely.

Once this sand ant beast rushed out, the consequences would be disastrous. The entire huge space city might be destroyed by this sand ant beast, and there might be casualties.

"Woo~"

The sand ant beast made a loud noise, and the terrible "momentum" caused ripples in the space of the room. Then it hit hard and prepared to rush out.

"Hum~"

Just then, a cold voice sounded, and a strong and terrible breath appeared. Li Fu, who was also studying biotechnology in the space city, rushed over in time.

"Sleep!"

Li Fu's huge consciousness swept to the sand ant beast, and the voice was like a spell. The ant beast, which was crazy and wanted to rush out just now, immediately calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
