Chapter 164 Genetic Optimization
"Whose child is that little girl? Uncle, how did you know her?" Qin Yumeng asked in a low voice almost touched Li Mu's ear.
Li Mu's ears were very itchy by Qin Yumeng, and his heart was even more rippling. However, when he turned to look at Qin Yumeng, he found that her little face, which usually smiled, was now full of solemnity.
"Her name is Xiaoshan Mixiang. She is the daughter of a friend who runs a karate gym. Is there anything wrong with her?" Li Mu looked at Qin Yumeng with some wonder and said.
"There are many things wrong. Uncle, it's best not to approach her in the future, so as not to cause trouble." Qin Yumeng said with a serious face.
"She is a little girl of five or six years old. Although she is a little naughty, she can't say that she caused me any trouble." Li Mu said disapprovingly.
"How to say it, uncle, you think it's right to leave her anyway. There is no need to do anything, so it's better not to see her. No, no matter what, don't see her in the future." Qin Yumeng said with a silence.
"Although the uncle knows that you must be for my own good, you always have to give me a reason." Li Mu looked at Qin Yumeng suspiciously. This was the first time he saw Qin Yumeng with such an expression.
Qin Yumeng's face changed. After a long time, she sighed softly and said in Li Mu's ear: "Uncle, have you ever heard of the word gene optimization?"
"I have only heard of words such as genetic modification, genetic inheritance, and what is gene optimization?" Li Mu asked.
"As you know, the genes inherited from parents of humans determine many things for a person, such as height, hair color, appearance, pupil color, and some genetic diseases, etc.."
After a pause, Qin Yumeng continued: "It's not just our country. Many countries have invested a lot of resources in research in this area."
"Isn't it normal to study these things?" Li Mu was a little surprised. Qin Yumeng said what did this have to do with Xiaoshan Mixiang.
"It is natural to study these things. If there is a breakthrough, it can solve many problems of genetic diseases, or fundamentally remove some bad genes, such as hereditary heart disease, men's height problems, poor physical fitness and other problems can be solved innately." Qin Yumeng said.
"Isn't that good?" Li Mu smiled.
"It's very good, but have you ever thought about how to conduct such research? In the early stage, animals can be used instead. But once it reaches the final stage, experiments must be performed with real human entities. After all, this is a scientific method used by humans themselves. Without human experiments, it is naturally impossible to truly mature the technology." Qin Yumeng said with a complicated expression.
"How to use human experiments on this genetic problem?" Li Mu couldn't imagine it.
"There are two types. One is the innate optimization gene, that is, when sperm and eggs are combined, they use technological means to change some genetic genetic factors of parents, or biased gene selection. For example, if a beautiful but relatively low-sized woman combines an ugly but tall man, then using gene optimization technology can make the two children grow beautiful and tall, completely inherit the advantages of their parents, and make the gene grow in a biased manner."
"The second type is the gene disruption, which is used for growing humans. It causes certain changes in the genetic genes that have been decided by themselves, so as to achieve similar effects as the first type." After pausing, Qin Yumeng continued: "The first type requires the cultivation of test tube babies, and the second type requires the experiment of living people."
Li Mu was slightly surprised. Although he knew that any technological breakthrough would cost a huge price, he didn't expect that the research on genetic technology would be so cruel.
"That little hill is a genetically optimized test tube baby." Qin Yumeng said to Li Mu.
"She is a genetically optimized test tube baby? How do you know?" Li Mu looked at Qin Yumeng with some disbelief.
"Because so do I." Qin Yumeng lowered her head slightly.
"Are you an IVF? Is it different from ordinary people? Will you have unique superpowers like those mutants in the X-Men?" Li Mu looked at Qin Yumeng in surprise, and curiously reached out and pinched Qin Yumeng's white and tender face.
"How could those things be possible? Gene optimization only makes genes develop in a better direction, but the biological model of human beings is already destined to be impossible for human beings to have such power. No matter how genes are optimized, it is impossible for human beings to have such supernatural powers, just like pigs cannot fly, and human beings cannot have such supernatural powers." Qin Yumeng gave Li Mu a blank look, but was secretly happy in her heart. Li Mu did not have any strange impression of her because of her identity, but still treated her like before.
"What? Genetic optimization people sound very cool. It turns out that they are just not different from ordinary people." Li Mu said disappointedly.
"It cannot be said that there is no difference, because the genes of parents themselves determine many problems, so the samples used in the experiment are all taken from some representative humans, such as people who have genetic diseases themselves, such as people who are very excellent in some aspects. Therefore, if gene optimization is a successful example, then there must be many outstanding aspects, such as excellent athletic talent, natural music cells, super strong reaction nerves, etc. The various advantages of parents will be further developed in them, but there are also some failures, and naturally there are natural genetic diseases." Qin Yumeng said.
"So, you are so beautiful and cute, you must have tasted it successfully?" Li Mu said, looking at Qin Yumeng's red face.
Qin Yumeng looked gloomy: "I am a failure. My father is a very excellent soldier. He has keen observation and strong physical ability. He is considered to be of the best among humans. My mother is a scientist with a first-class mind, but hereditary body. There are three to five genetic diseases. According to the original idea, I should have both my father's body and my mother's IQ, and there are no genetic diseases. However, I have inherited at least two genetic diseases, so I am just a failure."
"I really hope there are more such cute failed products." Li Mu reached out and pinched Qin Yumeng's little nose, pinched it gently, but his eyes looked down, from the slightly floating bath towel, looking at the white and tender mountain peaks there.
"Uncle, you are so lustful. If you promise to marry Yumeng, Yumeng will listen to you in everything. Uncle, you can do anything shameful to Yumeng." Qin Yumeng deliberately straightened her chest and drew her fingers on Li Mu's neck, making Li Mu's body tremble as if it was electrocuted.
"How do you know that Xiaoshan Mixiang is also a gene optimization person?" Li Mu quickly changed the subject. They were going to Qin Mingdao to come. Now if he ate Qin Yumeng, Qin Mingdao would see something flawed later, he would have to use a gun to break him.
"Gene optimization people can see many differences in details compared to ordinary people. Compared with ordinary people, their skin is more affected by the environment. The color of the skin is different from sunlight and other factors, and there will be obvious color difference. There are also some spots or moles on the body. Look at my body, can you find a freckle from me?" Qin Yumeng said to Li Mu.
"I haven't seen this yet, so it's hard to draw a conclusion." Li Mu said with his eyes narrowed.
"Then Yumeng asked the uncle to check carefully, okay?" Qin Yumeng's eyes turned and she was about to pull the bath towel she put on.
"Ahem, let's talk about this later. You can continue to talk about the Mixiang of the Mountain." Li Mu quickly stopped Qin Yumeng. Now he was almost unable to stand it. It would be fine if he really wanted to check it.
"At first, when I saw Xiaoshan Mixiang, I felt something was wrong with her. Later, I went to take a shower with her. After looking at her body, I was sure that she was definitely the same as me and a genetically optimized person." Qin Yumeng chuckled before continuing.
"Even if she is a genetic optimizer, I can't say there will be any trouble when I get close to her, right?" Li Mu said.
"She is a Japanese, and it should be a Japanese experimental product. I don't know why she came to us. I think it should be a failure product, so she has relatively loose freedom. Although failure products like me are nominally free, they still have to be regulated by the state. Many things will be restricted, such as it is difficult for me to go abroad." Qin Yumeng sighed.
"That Xiaojun is the one who monitors you?" Li Mu suddenly realized why Xiaojun nominally protected Qin Mingdao, but in fact, he stayed by Qin Yumeng most of the time, and his target was Qin Yumeng.
A soldier with combat effectiveness of up to eight o'clock is indeed not something that can be seen casually. This incident puzzled Li Mu for a long time, and finally got the answer today.
"That's right, it can also be said to protect me." Qin Yumeng smiled and turned back to the topic of Xiaoshan Mixiang: "Although I haven't noticed it now, if Xiaoshan Mixiang has the same person around him, and if you are too close to her, you might have some trouble."
"What trouble can I have? I'm intimate with you now, so I don't have any trouble at all?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"What's the same? Xiaoshan Mixiang is a foreigner after all. If people think you have a purpose to get close to Xiaoshan Mixiang and want to get something from Xiaoshan Mixiang, then what they will deal with you will probably be." Qin Yumeng gave Li Mu a blank look.
"Okay, I understand. It's time for us to go. Uncle Qin may have to wait in a hurry." Li Mu got up and prepared to come out of the bath.
