Chapter 1,616 Infected Persons and Gene Editors

The data after sampling testing can often reflect the proportion of certain individuals in the group.

A similar technique is often used to estimate the number of regional species, that is, the mark-and-recapture method, which captures some organisms, tags them and releases them. After a period of time, wait for their original species to remix, and then Captures are conducted and the proportion of tagged organisms is used to estimate species density in the area.

The same principle can also be used in reverse. For example, a part of the sample is extracted and the proportion of a certain feature is detected. After knowing how many samples there are in the area, it can be estimated based on this proportion how many samples have the same feature. .

Such sampling must be as random as possible, and specific groups of people cannot be selected as samples. From this point of view, it is not appropriate to select samples among players, because the proportion of soul masters among players is very high.

But the current situation reflects this to a certain extent. At least among the group of soul masters, there are a large number of people who have been subjected to gene editing without knowing it.

"We need to conduct larger-scale testing as soon as possible. If such gene editing really covers 3% or more of the population, then the seriousness of the problem may be very high!"

Cheng Ying's expression was solemn. If their opponent was really in the God Realm, theoretically he should not dare to use genetic weapons to massacre ordinary people on a large scale. If he really dares to do this, then the God Realm may no longer be able to check and balance him. If that happens, the base on the moon will probably not be able to stop the opponent, so it is better to run away as soon as possible.

"Don't be so pessimistic." Liu Tianxin comforted: "Judging from the previous test results, this is not a malignant mutation. The cells in their bodies have only undergone a very small amount of editing. At most, their pupils are deformed and cause strong sensitivity." The ability to adapt to light environments is weakened, but the ability to see things in the dark is correspondingly enhanced.

The only problem is that CRISPR technology is not mature enough. Judging from the current genetic samples, Cas cuts not only the target DNA, but also cuts some DNA that also has identification characteristics. In most cases, these cuts are redundant. Part of the gene generally does not have any effect, but at some point, the part of the gene that is cut off is a gene that inhibits the canceration of cells in the body, which can lead to canceration of cells.

This is indeed a risk, but the risk is not particularly great, and it can be seen that this kind of cancer is obviously not the other party's purpose, but just a side effect.

I have sent someone to organize a blood test and the results will be available soon. When we verify the proportion of these gene edits in ordinary people and the distribution characteristics of such edits, we may be able to obtain more useful information. "

Yak nodded: "Our top priority now is to determine the distribution characteristics of this gene editing, which will help determine the opponent's purpose of action.

If we really can't tell, we can directly use other technologies to change the modified DNA back. This kind of thing is not difficult for us.

Whatever you want to do, we will make it impossible for him to do it. This can be considered an effective tactic. "

Yake's statement was recognized by Cheng Ying. He could not do anything the enemy wanted to do. It was indeed a very effective tactic, but for him, it was a little too passive. He still needed to collect as much data as possible.

The Party of Order has been mobilized by Liu Tianxin. A large number of civilians in Tiandou City, that is, civilians in the Tiandou Empire, have undergone blood tests. As long as a little blood is drawn, they can get quite rich food. In most people's opinion, it's worth it.

In addition to civilians, Liu Tianxinyou launched a round of sneak attacks on soul masters, using various reasons to obtain a large number of blood samples. The test began almost that night.

On Chengying's side, artificial intelligence has successively calculated the genetic information of hundreds of people, and basically all of them have changed pupils, turning into strange double pupils.

This also allowed them to confirm that the purpose of the change was to change these people's pupils into two.

Cheng Ying touched his nose and had a bad premonition. He seemed to have missed a very important part of the plot development on the ground. He had always been paying attention to the important characters in the plot. After all, most of the time, these were the only important ones. Only then can the character cause big things that require his action.

It would be too expensive to fully monitor everyone. The current situation made him suspect that he had missed some very important plot points. The situation on the entire continent is about to change in another direction.

If you come to a strange world and have not read the plot, it is difficult to guarantee that you will find the protagonist, and Cheng Ying does not think that he can find this so-called protagonist among the busy crowd.

However, this uneasy mood was quickly calmed down by him. Compared to the school of historical inevitability, he agreed more with the school of historical inevitability. The direction of history may change because of one or two key figures, but the big picture of history The direction must be determined by the majority of people, and these people should be guided to carve out their own historical path. No matter how many heroes there are in the conservative forces, they cannot resist the changes of the times.

The next day, the atmosphere in the virtual conference hall was solemn. The report collected by Liu Tianxin was placed in front of the three people. They were so solemn because the number of individuals with gene editing in the samples collected this time was very rare, reaching thousands. One out of ten is pretty good.

Among civilians, this number is only a few ten thousandths. Among soul masters, the number may be higher, but statistically speaking, it is definitely less than 1%.

"No matter what happens, we have to plan for the worst possible scenario. It now seems that our commitment to keeping the plan secret may not be as high as we thought.

Among our game players, the probability of gene editors far exceeds the probability of sample investigators, which means that our games are likely to have become the target of suspicion.

Our opponents have conducted targeted tests and even realized that Liu Tianxin, Huo Yuhao, and even our other false targets tomorrow are not the key to our actions. Only this game is the core of our plan. "Chengying spoke first, breaking the silence.

Their atmosphere is so serious precisely because of the differences in the data. Judging from the comparative analysis of the data, the player group may have been targeted. Before, they had almost concluded that they were the leaders of gene editing this time. , is their opponent in this chess game.

The current situation is almost like being directly grabbed by the opponent, and the strength accumulated now is far from enough to start a frontal battle. If the opponent's initial template is a god, then at least the combat power of the supreme god level must be used now. Cheng Ying There is no way to guarantee the victory of the conflict in this situation.

Yak was silent: "I will prepare more clones, prepare for war! The moon base has temporarily transferred to a wartime system. Some production and construction can be stopped for a while. We need more military units and more logistics reserves!"

Just when the topic was about to tilt in the direction of war, Liu Tianxin suddenly spoke: "The data I surveyed may not be reliable, because even if there are tens of thousands of people sampled, there are differences in the samples I took. Represents the situation on the entire continent.

I just rechecked the identities of genetically modified players. After visiting these players, most of them are soul masters and have no clear nationality, but I still found their place of origin and the source of their bloodline in their genes. "

As he said that, Liu Tianxin presented the statistical pictures in the form of holographic projection. Among them were the genetic population from the ancient Tiandou Empire and the ancient Xingluo Empire. The elites of the two were clearly distinguished, and the statistical data after the two, It also shows a completely different situation.

On the Tiandou Empire side, there are almost no genetically modified individuals, while on the Star Luo Empire side, the probability of genetic modification has almost doubled.

"We didn't pay attention to the place of origin of these samples before. After all, for soul masters, they generally have no national boundaries. Whoever can give them benefits is from which country they are. For the country, it can be said that there is no trace of national boundaries. A sense of belonging and loyalty, but this still does not change that they were born in different countries.

Now it seems that there are indeed differences in the emergence of genetic modification. If the samples taken are indeed not universal, limited by my scope of influence, the samples I took are all from Tianhun and Dou Ling Empire. That is to say, in the Ancient Tiandou Empire, among these groups, the number of gene editors is relatively low, which is in line with our previous statistics.

Therefore, our opponent may not have a core plan targeting us. He is more likely targeting the Star Luo Empire. We still can't tell what his purpose was.

But at least we can now target the Star Luo Empire. I will find someone to conduct a sample survey there and try to find out the virus strains that caused these gene edits. Through direct analysis from above, we can get more effective information. . "

Chengying and Yake saw the analysis on the statistical chart. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, according to the above data. It is unlikely that their core plans will be targeted. There is a high probability that the opponent has not discovered that they are using the game to exploit the moon.

"In that case, do it as soon as possible. Judging from the current data, the virus has a strong ability to spread. There are no reports of large-scale plagues on the mainland, which means that the virus is very weak in toxicity and has a strong concealment ability.

It cannot be ruled out that these viruses have other hidden functions besides gene editing. We must find the strain itself as soon as possible before more people are infected, analyze its effects, and then make a decision on whether to intervene. "

Yake stopped, no, and continued to enter the cloning warehouse. The large number of cloned individuals put a lot of pressure on himself. At the level of four digits, he remained harmonious but different, recognized his own identity, and allowed everyone to Individuals have their own personalities, and they can still do it reluctantly.

But if there are more, the harmony between each individual may not be as harmonious as it is now, and there will be conflicts between oneself and oneself, and the result may be schizophrenia.

Liu Tianxin knew the seriousness of the situation very well, so he went to investigate overnight. The Star Luo Empire was relatively unfamiliar to him, but if he wanted to collect information by any means, just to collect some blood, he took action with his huge body. With his mental power and the powerful illusion brought to him by the Samsara Eye, he could still collect a large number of samples without anyone noticing.

The analysis results came out the next morning, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. There were far more individuals with gene editing in the Star Luo Empire than in the Tiandou Empire. In other words, they Their opponents should be targeting the Star Luo Empire, not them.

"Can we find the virus itself? The other party's technology is relatively mature. There are no virus strains in individuals who have completed gene editing. We need to find the individuals in the infection process in order to extract the virus itself." Cheng Shadow asked.

"It's not a big problem. I already have a general understanding of the life experiences of these gene-edited individuals some time ago. Through the people around them, I learned that these people had slight sneezing, runny nose, and slight fever, but almost no symptoms. Affect normal life.

I have identified several suspected infected people and extracted their blood. The samples will be analyzed soon. Before that, I think we can already guess the opponent's purpose.

Making the toxicity of the virus so low can basically eliminate the opponent's lethal purpose. However, simply changing the appearance will have minimal changes in the individual's combat effectiveness, work ability, learning ability, and adaptability. I am somewhat unable to judge his purpose now. "

Cheng Ying and Liu Tianxin both thought silently. In their opinion, it only changed the image of the pupils, just like changing a skin in the game. It was not even as big as that one. How could we rely on this tiny Change, change the situation?

Just when the two of them were puzzled, Yake suddenly spoke: "I may... have a guess, but this guess is based on my own identity. I'm afraid it may seem a bit subjective, I hope you can make your own judgment.

You should remember that my identity is an infected person. At first, I was a pilot of the Tiandou Empire. During an aerial reconnaissance of the infected Tianjing City, I was accidentally infected and was imprisoned by the empire. By chance, he became a prisoner of the infected.

As an infected person, I quickly identified with Sylva established by the infected people, and was willing to fight for the infected people. At that time, there was no right or wrong in my eyes, and there was no progress of the times. Only those who have the belief to fight for the group they identify with, and now these people who are about to have double pupils, I am afraid..."
