#668 - Chapter 668 Human Meridians
Dongfang Chen contacted Qin Lao and borrowed 1,000 core members from the Mosang Ark base to stabilize the minds of the recruits in Wulan Gumu.
However, Qin Lao also put forward an additional condition:
He hoped that Dongfang Chen could also close the Mosang Ark base.
The warriors of Hua Country also needed to recover.
Dongfang Chen believed that the Mosang Ark base was already a completely closed base, so he agreed.
"Xiaolin, has the genetic analysis of Shanshan and Shen Huiying been completed?"
"It's been completed."
"Are there any results?"
"There are already results. The gene controlling the condensation of the crystal nucleus has been found. It includes 3 pairs of chromosomes and 126 gene fragments. However, the Trojan gene plays a key role in it," Xiaolin replied.
This was expected.
Humans from a billion years ago didn't have cultivators or mutants. This shows that humans only developed this ability later.
The most reasonable explanation is that the additional gene fragments played a very important role in it.
"Continue the analysis. If the Trojan gene in the cultivator's body is cleared, what will be the consequences?"
"Several situations need to be considered:"
"First: Model each level of cultivator separately to understand what impact gene repair will have on each level."
"Second: Figure out what changes will occur in the crystal nucleus in the cultivator's body after gene repair. Can it continue to be retained, or will it disappear?"
"Third: Explore the possibility of inhibiting abilities from the genetic level, including long-term suppression and even elimination of abilities."
"Fourth: Analyze whether there are any side effects if non-cultivators transform into cultivators after adjusting their genes. Pay attention to analyzing ordinary people and those injected with antigen serum separately."
"Fifth: Explore methods to accelerate the advancement of abilities from the genetic level."
"Okay, Commander."
7 days later.
"Commander, the analysis is complete."
"Okay, explain the analysis results in detail."
"Okay, Commander."
"First:"
"For cultivators in the 1st-level Qi Refining stage and the 2nd-level Foundation Establishment stage, after gene repair, the crystal nucleus will stop advancing and will disappear in the future due to energy depletion. This will cause the cultivator to completely become an ordinary person."
"For cultivators in the 3rd-level Golden Core stage to the 5th-level Spirit Transformation stage, after gene repair, the crystal nucleus can continue to gather energy and will not disappear. However, the crystal nucleus will also stop advancing, and the cultivator's level will no longer increase."
"For cultivators in the 6th-level Body Integration stage and the 7th-level Void Refinement stage, after gene repair, the speed at which the crystal nucleus gathers energy will increase, and the body's demand for energy will increase exponentially. However, depending on the individual's physique, there is a certain risk of zombification."
"For cultivators in the 8th-level Mahayana stage, after gene repair, the speed at which the crystal nucleus gathers energy will significantly increase, but because the body's ability to absorb energy is limited, if there is not enough energy supply, there is a high probability of zombification."
"For cultivators in the 9th-level Tribulation Transcension stage, after gene repair, the speed at which the crystal nucleus gathers energy will greatly increase. However, because the quality of the crystal nucleus has reached the highest level, the situation varies depending on the energy contained in the crystal nucleus. Cultivators in the early stage of the 9th level have a very high risk of zombification. Cultivators in the mid-stage of the 9th level will greatly reduce the risk of zombification if a sufficient energy supply is ensured. Cultivators in the late stage of the 9th level have almost no risk of zombification."
The so-called zombification refers to the crystal nucleus absorbing the bio-energy in the human body, causing it to turn into a zombie, just like an ordinary person turning into a zombie.
"What does 'almost no risk of zombification' mean?" Dongfang Chen asked.
If there is, there is. If there isn't, there isn't. Xiaolin rarely uses the word 'almost'.
Moreover, the destructive power of the 9th level is too strong, and there cannot be even the slightest carelessness.
Even an extremely low probability can cause great destructive power.
"As long as a certain energy supply is guaranteed, there is no risk of zombification," Xiaolin explained.
"What do you mean by energy supply?"
"Crystal nucleus or food, but the energy provided by food is limited," Xiaolin replied.
"Why are there such huge differences in cultivators at different stages after gene repair?"
"This is related to the way the crystal nucleus gathers energy and the way the energy circulates. The situation varies for cultivators of different levels. After breaking this balance, different situations will occur," Xiaolin explained.
"Is the flow route you mentioned referring to meridians?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Please wait a moment. I am compiling information on human meridians and comparing them."
"Commander, the comparison is complete. The two basically overlap, and it can be determined that the energy flow route is the human meridian."
Hearing Xiaolin's affirmative answer, Dongfang Chen increasingly felt that the Yellow Emperor was no ordinary person.
How did he discover the meridians in such a backward situation in ancient times?
