Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 424 Target... Auriga Star!

People have had a detailed discussion on the topic of "modifying appearance".

In theory, modifying the appearance of organisms is not a very difficult thing, and human genetic engineering can do it.

But with human capabilities, it becomes very, very difficult to modify a species on a planet on a large scale, and it must start from the fertilized egg...

If you want to modify the appearance of an adult individual, you can only use plastic surgery, which is unlikely from a genetic level. .

To modify the genes of intelligent organisms in the Milky Way on a large scale... is already an incredible technology. Think about it, the genetic material of each planet and each life is slightly different. How can this technology make the life on different planets look similar?

Although it is just "looking similar", it is also a shock that is difficult to express in words for human technology.

"Perhaps it is an interstellar broadcast... an unimaginable gene transmission broadcast."

"It will make intelligent life gradually lose its hair, walk upright, and gradually become more consistent in appearance during its evolution. Well, this is just our guess. Who knows what is going on..."

"It's incredible!" Biologist Dr. Roman shook his head and put forward his own hypothesis.

But, does this consistency of appearance have any special meaning?

People tried to speculate the true intention of this advanced civilization.

"The Seeder Civilization" may know, but did not answer.

"Perhaps humans and a very powerful civilization have the same appearance... This advanced civilization likes to impose its own appearance on other creatures."

"Perhaps, they reproduce in this way? First mark the creatures on the planet, and then select potential individuals." A scientist had a brainwave.

"Speaking of which, these advanced civilizations have basically gradually gotten rid of the shackles of genetic philosophy and started to pursue their true existence goals. They have also gradually become indifferent to reproduction..."

"Anyway, they think that if they look similar, they are almost the same people. As for whether the internal genes are the same, it doesn't matter... In this way, we can still hold on to the golden thigh?"

But soon, someone put forward another view: "Or maybe it's just a random scientific experiment... a random action... using the entire Milky Way as an experimental site. Anyway, the Milky Way is just an ordinary galaxy, and no one cares about it."

Yu Yifeng felt that there was a statement that was more in line with reason, and a strange idea suddenly came from the bottom of his heart: "... With advanced technology, you can do whatever you want."

People thought silently and put forward various hypotheses. It was difficult to figure out the truth of the facts for a while.

But when they thought of the coldness behind it, everyone felt a creepy shudder in their hearts.

This cruelty is even worse than war.

If a low-level civilization is a little white mouse, then, is this little white mouse willing to be killed by a powerful cat, or willing to be a test subject in a laboratory?

"Not every civilization is a kind "sower"..."

The most terrifying thing is that when an invisible big hand covers one planet after another, these little white mice are still alive and kicking, still unaware of themselves.

"Yes, they know nothing, and they are still the kings of their own planets. What they don't know is that their evolutionary direction has changed, and in tens of thousands of years, they will be forced to evolve into monkeys."

Ignorance suddenly became a good thing, allowing people to enjoy the warmth of their mother planet with peace of mind.

Only by standing high enough can we discover the truth and the coldness contained in it.

"It's not unacceptable to change some genes of appearance... The most important thing is that our aesthetics have also been changed. Of course, we think we are beautiful. If we originally looked like monkeys, we might think that monkeys' red butts are beautiful, right?"

"Modifying appearance and physical characteristics seems to be a small matter, but things like aesthetics will be completely different, and the social system caused will also be biased..."

Dr. Rambo stood up with a bitter smile on his face: "So, the problem of genes is a matter of one hair. Don't just think that appearance is just appearance, but in fact it involves various psychology and behavior, and even affects our reproductive activities, and also changes the future social process..."

"If there is really a butterfly effect in the long flow of time, this is no longer a butterfly, but a tornado! Perhaps the real intention of this civilization is to study this kind of social process..."

"But we have not developed any related disciplines..."

Hearing this, the conference room fell into silence for a while.

What does the other party want to do?

After a few minutes, Yu Yifeng had to break the silence: "Are we chess pieces or chess players? We once interfered with the development of the indigenous lizard civilization... What is the significance of this interference?"

There was too little information to make sense.

"Okay, since this discussion will not produce any results, let's move on to the next question: where is our next destination?"

"The light ball... well, the Seeder civilization once pointed out a star 500 light years away to us. It believes that there will be some gains there... What do you think about this?" Yu Yifeng asked from the seat in front.

A star map popped up on the screen, with a star highlighted on it.

This star is located at the edge of the Sagittarius Arm, which is roughly in line with the direction people are currently heading.

People call it... "Auriga"!

Of course, the general direction is actually 30 light years apart.

If you want to turn around, it will take a little more time.

Because the Deep Space has always been flying randomly, turning randomly, without any special goals. So Yu Yifeng also specifically raised this question to discuss the safety with everyone.

"Do you want to go?"

"In the end, we still have to stop to replenish supplies. Should we find a random star or go to the one designated by the Seeder... What do you think?"

"The Sagittarius Arm is closer to the center of the Milky Way, and the distribution of stars is slightly denser. According to the existing information, there are some exchanges of interstellar civilizations here... Hey, the colonized planet marked by the Green Light Man is also in this arm, but it is still 2,600 light years away from us. I wonder if they have arrived home."

Everyone talked a lot, and naturally divided into two factions, some believed in the Seeder, and some had doubts.

"If the Seeder civilization is kind to humans, the star it designated should not be particularly dangerous... In other words, we may be able to gain a lot in that place?

"Not just in terms of ordinary materials, but other things... We are too young... Is there a scientific relic there? Or something else?"

"If it is malicious... A civilization with malicious intentions should not spend so much energy to tease us... But if it is all lies, we can hardly tell the difference."

People thought slowly.

In the vast galaxy, every star looks similar, and you can survive anywhere.

With current technology, as long as people don't commit suicide and run to a black hole or a supernova that is about to explode, it is still very difficult to be forcibly destroyed by natural disasters.

"Even gas planets, we can mine some resources; we can survive on permanently frozen planets... From this perspective, we are already very powerful, at least not when we just stepped into the starry sky. "

Gradually, more and more people believed in it. If there is really no good place to go...

"I still believe that the probability that the Seeder civilization has good intentions towards humans is higher..."

After hearing the results of many people's discussions, Yu Yifeng finally made a decision: "Then this is it. After replacing the engine, continue to use the wartime hibernation plan and sail to the star more than 500 light years away, that is, Auriga, to see what is there..."
