Chapter 311 Genetic System, Civilization Advancement

……

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

In his in-depth research on genes, Wu Wenjing naturally summarized an unprecedented "gene" system.

Stage 1: Unleashing the Survival Instinct (Primitive Unlocked)
Triggering mechanism: Stress response under extreme crisis
Beginner stage:

Performance-wise, basal metabolic rate increased by 300%, pain threshold increased by 60%, and muscle explosive power increased by 35%.

Intermediate stage:

Enhanced neural reflexes, nerve conduction speed reaching 280m/s, dynamic visual frame rate increased to 120 frames per second, and conditioned reflex establishment speed increased by 5 times.

Advanced stage:

Metabolic compensation improves lactate tolerance by 80%, the range of autonomous blood glucose regulation is increasing, and hypoxia tolerance time is extended to 8 minutes.

……

Second stage: Precise control of the body (biocomputerization)
Beginner stage:

Neuromuscular control, core breakthrough, independent control of single muscle bundles, precision down to the millimeter level, movement error less than 0.3mm, and tendon elasticity adjustment range ±15%.

Performance capabilities: Possesses the ability to perform procedures at the level of precision surgery.

Intermediate stage:

Physiological rhythm programming expands capabilities; heartbeat can be paused for up to 90 seconds; gastrointestinal peristalsis can be autonomously controlled; and pupil diameter can be precisely adjusted.

Advanced stage:

Structural reinforcement mode, ultimate form, instantly increases bone density by 40%, hardens the stratum corneum of the skin, and adjusts the viscosity of synovial fluid.

……

Third stage: Simulation of collective intelligence (evolution of the social brain)

Beginner stage:

Micro-expression analysis achieves a facial micro-movement recognition accuracy of 0.1 mm, voiceprint analysis error is less than 2%, and body language decoding rate is as high as 92%.

Entering this stage of limitations requires periodically "resetting" one's cognitive patterns.

Intermediate stage:

Behavioral prediction modeling achieves 85% accuracy in 3-second tactical prediction; group dynamic simulation can be performed on a scale of up to five people; skill reproduction completion rate is 88%; and brain power consumption reaches 5 times the normal level.

Advanced stage:

Group consciousness linking, brainwave synchronization range of 15 meters, non-verbal information transmission efficiency of 70%, and collective decision-making optimization rate improved by 40%.

Entering this stage carries a significant risk: blurred self-awareness.

……

Fourth level: Quantum state life forms (energy materialization)

Beginner stage:

Biofield control enables electromagnetic induction within five meters, electrostatic energy storage can reach 3000 volts, and local body temperature regulation range is within ±15℃.

Intermediate stage:

Matter interference can reconstruct water molecule clusters, affect light polarization by 12%, and has an air ionization radius of 1 meter.

Advanced stage:

Entering the realm of entropy reduction, local entropy reduction is achieved within a cubic meter of space, with a 35% suppression rate of random particle motion and an 8% deviation from the second law of thermodynamics.
Risk: Prone to self-crystallization!

Crystallization is a "compensation mechanism" that a system spontaneously generates to resist excessive entropy reduction.

……

This "gene liberation" system is completely different from the individual cultivation system; it seems to be tailor-made for a collective civilization.

It is almost impossible to cultivate successfully by one's own strength. It is necessary to rely on the collective wisdom to create and improve, thereby forming the "ascending to heaven" model, so that the entire group's civilization can be elevated together.

In other words, Wu Wen now possesses a key to unlock a new era, a power that could elevate the entire Earth's civilization to a new level.

If he so desires, he can realize the sage's ideal of "everyone becoming a dragon." By unlocking genes, he can make everyone a god-like being, leveling the gap between everyone and placing everyone on the same level, thus achieving equality for all beings.

But Wu Wen knew that doing so would lead to chaos and disorder.

Therefore, upon summarizing the "genetic system," he immediately imposed a blockade on it.

Even in the virtual space, apart from Wu Wen's highest authority, no one else has the right to know.

Wu Wen had also wondered if he could help those around him, such as Master Zhu, embark on the path of genetics.

But he quickly rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

Because genes are like a closed door; once a crack is opened, their spread can no longer be contained.

This is the terrifying aspect of a gene cultivation system capable of elevating an entire civilization to a higher level.

Unlike mutations, where only one individual stands out from millions of others and doesn't affect the others.

Once the door to genes is opened, it is essentially impossible to close it. It will create a chain reaction, spreading like an invisible virus.

In addition, just like the title of "immortality," even though it is illusory, it still attracts countless people.

Therefore, as long as even the slightest information about it is leaked out, even if someone knows it's fake, they will still frantically pursue it, let alone if it's real, and there are traces of it in more than one place in the world.

Just like the wolf guards of the Turks and the witchcraft of the Jiuli, these are all closely related to the gene cultivation system.

Therefore, once the "gene cultivation system" emerges, it is basically irreversible.

However, Wu Wen also had some regrets about this.

He couldn't share the tremendous achievements he had painstakingly researched. To him, it was like a chicken rib—useless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

The fourth stage of the gene system is not very useful for Wu Wen now; its greatest function is to broaden his knowledge and increase his cultural background.

Only when he develops the fifth stage can Wu Wenyou achieve a qualitative improvement.

Because, according to Wu Wen's deduction and analysis, the fifth stage of the gene system should involve the laws of the universe!

Entering the fifth stage is like enabling Wu Wen to break the cognitive loop from quantum to biology, upgrading him from a "cosmic player" to a "cosmic developer".

However, the analysis that led to this conclusion shows just how difficult it is.

To move from the fourth stage to the fifth stage, Wu Wen would probably need to thoroughly uncover the mysteries of the origin of life in his research on genes.

Wu Wen is not in a hurry about this, because which of the research projects he is currently involved in does not require tens of thousands of years?
And what he has in abundance right now is time.

As the saying goes, taking too big a step can easily lead to a groin injury.

So he's not in a hurry; everything can be done slowly.

……

this day.

Wu Wen, unusually, did not cultivate in the secret chamber, but instead played with a puppy in the valley.

"Xiaobai, come here!"

At the summons of the flower slave, a tiny white puppy, barely tall enough to reach her ankles, happily ran toward her.

Wu Wen stood quietly to the side, smiling.

"Little White is so good, it can understand human speech at such a young age!" Hua Nu praised, stroking the little white dog.

This little white dog was donated by a herdsman.

The reason he offered up this little white dog was because it wasn't an ordinary dog.

First of all, it wasn't born from an ordinary dog, but from a white wolf that came to the herder's home after being injured, and was born to the herder's female hunting dog after they developed feelings for each other.

The white wolf holds a significant position on the grassland, and its cubs are naturally no ordinary animals either.

Therefore, the herdsmen offered it up as a tribute.

Wu Wen always personally inspected everything that was donated by believers.

Because among these strange and unusual things, there might be one or two treasures unknown to others, which only Wu Wen could recognize.

When Wu Wen saw the little white dog, he immediately noticed that it was unusual.

Its unusual birth resulted in it being a mutant, with both wolf and dog genes manifesting in its genome.

In other words, it possesses the talents of both wolves and dogs, having both the ability to hunt and the ability to protect.

They are highly spiritual, very intelligent, and, most importantly, have an exceptional learning ability.

Wu Wen's assessment of it was that it could be called a spirit beast!
The birth of the white puppy also validates Wu Wen's view on genetics:
In the absence of a favorable living environment, genes tend to prioritize survival; however, in the presence of a favorable living environment, genes tend to prioritize reproduction.

The little white dog's situation falls somewhere in between.

Its father was a white wolf that roamed the grasslands and toiled every day for a living; its mother was a sheepdog that grew up among sheep and guarded the homes of herders.

When the two hybridize, all the environmental influences on genes are reflected in it.

……

however.

Just as Wu Wen was enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

The high priest led Ashina Simo toward him.

"Master!" The two bowed respectfully to Wu Wen.

"What is it?" Wu Wen asked softly.

"Master, His Majesty the Emperor is coming!" Ashina Simo replied.

"Li Shimin?" Wu Wen asked in confusion, "What's he doing here? Is he going to launch another northern expedition against Goguryeo?"

Previously, Li Shimin personally led an expedition against Goguryeo. Although he did not directly destroy it, he did capture more than ten cities in succession.

The reason for the failure was that Li Shimin was too cautious and did not adopt suggestions such as taking advantage of the situation to directly attack Pyongyang or abandoning Anshi and taking Wugu City first, thus failing to achieve a surprise victory.

Later, due to the prolonged siege of Anshi City, coupled with the cold weather and insufficient food supplies, the troops were forced to withdraw.

Although this operation did not ultimately destroy Goguryeo, it resulted in the loss of more than ten cities, over 50,000 deaths and injuries, over 70,000 prisoners of war, and the capture of countless horses, armor, and weapons from Goguryeo.

Judging from the situation, Goguryeo's national strength was already half-destroyed.

It was only a matter of time before Li Shimin launched his second campaign.

“No!” Ashina Simo shook his head. “His Majesty the Emperor is not here to fight a war, but to find you, or rather, he is here to seek the elixir of immortality.”

"An elixir of immortality!" Wu Wen was not surprised by this.

The situation at the sacrificial site was not concealed in the first place, and it was only a matter of time before it was leaked into the Tang Dynasty and reached Chang'an.

Despite his youthful vigor and overwhelming power, Li Shimin could not help but yearn for immortality as he grew older.

It was like an ominous sign; such a wise and powerful emperor had ultimately died from drug use.

Therefore, Wu Wen was not surprised when he heard that Li Shimin had personally come to the sacrificial site to seek the elixir of immortality.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was how to deal with Li Shimin's arrival!
