Chapter 342 Research Direction
When Li Tianran left the planting area, it was already dusk.
He had spent the entire afternoon in this wilderness, enjoying the rare tranquility.
As twilight descended, the sky gradually darkened.
Li Tianran stood in the farm's courtyard... perhaps it could no longer be called a courtyard. It was more like a modern, high-tech plaza, with various tanks and fighter jets neatly arranged, towering tech buildings rising from the ground, and a tall steel wall standing silently in the night, patrol-class radar sentries flying around the farm like flocks of birds.
In the distance, warm lights glowed from the castle villa, and figures appeared in the living room, seemingly busy with something.
This was his kingdom.
When Li Tianran saw all of this, he suddenly felt all the fatigue in his heart diminish infinitely.
Wasn't the meaning of hard work for everything before him?
He looked at the brightly lit first to fourth floors of the technology building, which housed Professor Nan's biological research center. Professor Nan had been working like a madman recently, even eating and sleeping inside.
Li Tianran strode towards it.
Many adult-level combat Berserkers wearing dust suits walked in the corridors. There were now more than seven hundred adult-level Berserkers on the farm, one hundred of whom worked in the biological research center. These combat Berserkers had far greater precision and execution than humans when conducting research. Although they didn't have independent thinking ability and could only work mechanically after Professor Nan gave orders, it was enough.
Professor Nan's main research directions were now three.
First, to try to give the evolutionary gene hereditary characteristics.
Second, to try to allow two evolutionary genes to coexist in a single biological individual.
Third, how to completely eliminate the evolutionary gene and mutant gene in a biological body without damaging other cells in the evolutionary's body, that is, to make evolutionaries and mutant creatures return to ordinary creatures, causing gene reversion!
Any breakthrough in these three research directions would greatly change the current world situation.
When Li Tianran arrived at the door of the research room, the sealed electromagnetic isolation door was tightly closed. He rang the doorbell, and after a long time, Professor Nan's voice came from inside through the communicator.
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!"
Soon, the electromagnetic door opened, and Professor Nan's eyes were bloodshot. He handed over a set of sterile clothing.
Li Tianran put on the sterile clothing and followed Professor Nan into the research room.
"You don't look so good lately." Li Tianran glanced at Professor Nan, and then asked, "Really not considering becoming an evolutionary?"
In fact, since arriving on Kuangxi Island, Li Tianran had mentioned to Professor Nan about making him an evolutionary, but unexpectedly, Professor Nan refused Li Tianran's suggestion.
Professor Nan didn't want to become an evolutionary.
This made Li Tianran very surprised.
"After becoming an evolutionary, physical strength and mental data can be greatly improved, which may be helpful to you." Li Tianran asked very seriously: "If you keep going like this, your body may not be able to bear it."
Professor Nan paused, and then said with a smile: "You are right, there are indeed many benefits after becoming an evolutionary, but the only thing I worry about is that the brain will also change."
"The intelligence and mental strength of evolutionaries can be improved compared to ordinary people, but these are just some obvious things."
"I'm more concerned about some hidden changes in the brain, such as creativity! Creativity has nothing to do with intelligence, spirit, or anything like that. It's a unique thing, like a reclusive and intellectually disabled painter who may not even be able to figure out the dye number and oil pen classification, but has the ability to create a unique painting style."
"This kind of thing cannot be tested to get results. Creativity may also be a flash of inspiration at a certain time! I can't know whether this precise creative ability will change while my brain's intelligence and mental strength are improved."
"Sometimes, the higher the intelligence, the more cautious and rigid you become, and the less whimsical ideas you have. When studying new topics, this completely unfamiliar field may need this kind of whimsical creativity."
"Before I figure out how to make evolutionaries become ordinary people again, I don't dare to gamble. Once I fail, I'm completely useless."
Now the personnel in the farm have a clear division of labor. Professor Nan doesn't need to fight or farm. His only strength is scientific research creativity. If this ability is affected after becoming an evolutionary, it is absolutely unacceptable to him.
This mysterious thing cannot be marked with accurate data and research results. Even Professor Nan will not feel the change in the short term after becoming an evolutionary. Only after a long time can he notice the difference.
"You're right." Li Tianran nodded, and then thought of Qin Yiming: "Qin Yiming's work also seems to require creativity... Should I turn him into a vegetable again?"
At this time, Qin Yiming didn't know that he almost became a retard again between Li Tianran and Professor Nan's words. If he knew about today's conversation, he would most likely steal two bottles of Tang Su's "cocktail" and have a good drink with Professor Nan and die together...
Arriving at the research room, Li Tianran asked Professor Nan if there had been any progress in his recent research directions.
"To be honest, so far only the first direction of heredity has some clues, and the other two have not even reached the entry level." Professor Nan shook his head and said, he picked up a gene solution test tube, shook it in front of Li Tianran and said: "I am trying to write and fuse the characteristics of the evolutionary gene with other chromosome genes. If it can be successful, perhaps the next generation of evolutionaries will have a chance to inherit the abilities of their parents."
If this direction can be successfully researched, then Li Tianran will have an endless supply of beast king meat to eat...
"And I have another discovery recently." Professor Nan carefully took out another sealed liquid test tube, dipped a little with sterile paper and put it under the microscope, and said: "I found that the evolutionary gene composition is not absolutely stable. If it is affected, it will also change!"
Li Tianran brought his eyes closer to the microscope, and saw that under the microscope, there were several round cells moving gently. Professor Nan opened the electromagnetic wave band instrument, the genes on the reagent paper were exposed to electromagnetic wave band radiation, and the cells under the microscope instantly began to change.
He saw a layer of dense, villous-like things emerging from its surface, and the originally round cells turned into a sea urchin-like shape.
