Homo sapiens

In a mountain villa on Panay Island.

Sanji Badalayar was pressing his shoulders, while Li Qingye was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet in his hand and flipping through it with a frown.

[22nd Annual Report of Homo sapiens Medical Division...]

Through the company's management, the current average life expectancy of employees in each branch has been increased to about 89 years, and it is still increasing rapidly.

This is due to the advantages of Homo sapiens companies in biotechnology. As the scale of the new human employees expands, the average life expectancy will naturally rise linearly.

Li Qingye was not surprised at all. If the average life expectancy of employees cannot be increased with such powerful biotechnology of Homo sapiens company, that would be a problem.

The reason why he frowned was not because of life expectancy, but because of another statistic mentioned in this report.

According to data from the medical division, they analyzed the physical conditions of all employees within the company from 2019 to 2022, and discovered a very scary phenomenon.

The average sperm concentrations of young and middle-aged male employees in Hongsawady Branch and Luzon Branch were 53.71 million per milliliter in 2019, 49.52 million per milliliter in 20 years, 45.11 million per milliliter in 2021, and 42.83 million per milliliter in 2022. .

The situation in Siam Branch, Malacca Branch, Java Branch and Borneo Branch is similar.

At the most serious Sing Tao branch, some employees have dropped to 14.28 million per milliliter.

On the contrary, the decline at the Motor Island Branch is relatively small, and the current average is still 86.71 million per milliliter.

Why is this happening.

At first, the Medical Division also suspected poisoning by hostile forces, but as the investigation deepened, they discovered that the situation within the Homo sapiens company was not a special case, but a common situation around the world.

The more developed the area, the lower the sperm concentration of men.

Among them, Europe, North America, Oceania, Japan and South Korea have the lowest concentrations, which are only 10 to 20 million per milliliter.

Then there are more developed regions, such as the Far East and West Asia, where the oil prices are only 20 to 30 million per milliliter.

The third batch of regions is Southeast Asia and Latin America, with prices around 40 to 50 million per milliliter.

Finally, southern Africa has the highest concentration, which can reach levels of 50 million to 200 million per milliliter.

If this trend continues, around 2045, the sperm concentration of men in Europe, America and some more developed areas will drop to almost zero.

Other less developed areas are probably nowhere to be found.

The Medical Division organized professional biological researchers and medical researchers to conduct a comprehensive study on this situation.

After analyzing the comprehensive physical examination reports of 800 million employees, combined with their job positions, permanent residence areas, daily diet, and living habits, the research team came to a shocking conclusion.

Genetic damage is responsible for reduced sperm concentration and quality.

So why doesn’t something similar happen to women?

The reason is that there are differences in the germ cells of the two.

Once male reproductive cells are genetically damaged, they cannot repair themselves, but they can still survive for a period of time.

After gene loss occurs in female reproductive cells, they will repair themselves. If the repair is successful, the egg can develop and grow; if the repair is unsuccessful, the egg will die.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that men pass their genetic damage problems to the next generation.

This leads to a very terrible problem, that is, male reproductive cells will become worse and worse, and their number will also decrease rapidly.

You know, in the 1970s, statistics from developed countries still had an average level of 0.5 billion to 300 million per milliliter.

So what exactly causes widespread genetic damage in humans?

The answer is actually obvious.

There are two main reasons that can cause gene damage, one is ionizing radiation and the other is chemical substances.

Judging from the historical development of developed areas, the key substance that chemical substances damage genes is nicotine.

The key to genetic damage caused by ionizing radiation lies in the large-scale nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s, whose radioactive dust has been dispersed around the world through atmospheric circulation.

This can actually be seen from the region.

Southern Africa and Latin America have basically not conducted large-scale nuclear explosion experiments, while other regions have conducted nuclear explosion experiments to a greater or lesser extent.

In the Oceania region, Great Britain conducted nuclear explosion experiments in its deserts, and France also conducted nuclear explosion experiments in the South Pacific.

Not to mention Southeast Asia. In the Pacific Ocean to the east, there are many nuclear test relics in America; in the west, Tianzhu and Xiba, although they conduct nuclear tests in their own deserts, the atmospheric circulation happens to carry them there. of air particles carried to Southeast Asia.

In West Asia and North Africa, Judah and France have also conducted many nuclear tests there.

The two dates are also very consistent. After the large-scale nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s, human male reproductive cells began to have problems starting in 1970.

With the accumulation of genetic damage over generations, the overall human infertility problem has become more and more serious after entering the 21st century.

In its investigation report, the Medical Division also mentioned another very critical source of ionizing radiation that has been ignored by many people.

That is X-ray imaging in medical treatment.

Why the more developed areas are, the more serious genetic damage is. This has a lot to do with their mature medical systems and very common annual physical examinations.

Although the dose of ionizing radiation from X-ray imaging equipment is not high, its damage to genes cannot be ignored, especially for people who undergo regular physical examinations.

In underdeveloped areas, there are relatively few medical resources, and some people may have never been exposed to X-ray imaging equipment in their lives.

Through this series of studies, the Medical Division has identified the main culprits causing human genetic damage, which are radioactive dust, nicotine, and X-ray equipment.

However, this discovery is of little use in curbing the trend of human genetic damage.

The new human employees of Homo sapiens companies might be forced to quit smoking.

However, radioactive dust has already spread to every corner of human society through atmospheric circulation and water circulation. Some trace amounts of radioactive materials are difficult to completely remove.

X-ray equipment is almost indispensable in the current medical system. Even if the Homo sapiens company has magnetic field imaging technology, there is still no way to completely eliminate X-ray imaging equipment.

Li Qingye put down the tablet in his hand and sighed: "Human beings are always good at destroying themselves."

Sanji Badalayar stood behind him and massaged his temples silently.

Li Qingye knew nothing about the issue of genetic damage.

After all, he genetically modified himself in order to gain the power of revenge, and now his sperm is still inactive.

This is typical genetic damage.

It is very easy to damage genes, but very difficult to repair and treat.

He may not care about people from other areas, but the new human employees are his die-hard loyalists, and Li Qingye definitely doesn't want his subordinates to have problems.

However, the technology related to gene therapy is still immature and is not suitable for popularization in a short time.

However, the problem of genetic damage is imminent. With the development speed of the Homo sapiens company, even if we understand the cause of the disease, it will be difficult to curb the spread of genetic loss, and it can only delay it for more than ten years at most.

So now we have to find a way to solve this problem.
