Chapter 218: GENE

Ye Cang's words made Qing Long's heart skip a beat.

Did the Chief Engineer mean that someone had tampered with Liu Chuang's genes?

He himself knew a little about genes.

But he had never heard of any kind of genetic problem that could turn Liu Chuang into this state.

Moreover, Liu Chuang's current appearance was more like a mental illness.

Although he was full of questions.

Qing Long did not bring them up, just quietly standing to the side watching Ye Cang perform a genetic test on Liu Chuang.

After a morning passed...

The genetic test results for Liu Chuang were out.

Looking at Liu Chuang's genetic test, a hint of speechlessness appeared on Ye Cang's expressionless face.

He had truly spoken a prophecy.

Liu Chuang's genes had indeed been maliciously tampered with.

Genes are also known as hereditary factors.

They are segments in DNA that carry hereditary information; genes are diverse, and a single DNA strand contains tens of thousands of genes.

Genes support the basic structure and performance of life, storing all information about life within them, including birth, aging, sickness, death, personality, appearance, hobbies, and so on, and so on...

After briefly explaining genes, he brought the topic back to Liu Chuang.

Through the fragmented words Liu Chuang spoke while in a coma, Ye Cang had already judged his current situation.

The maliciously tampered genes had given him mercy he shouldn't have.

The genes wanted to turn Liu Chuang into the set design, but his own will did not agree.

Just like that, the two entered into a confrontation.

It was just that this confrontation could not be seen in daily life, because the influence of genes lasts a lifetime.

But once a person enters a sleep state, that is when they are most vulnerable, and Super Soldiers are no exception.

At this time, the genes prepared to drastically change Liu Chuang.

But how could Liu Chuang's will let the genes succeed?

Thus, the two began their confrontation.

Creating the current situation.

If this continues, there are only two outcomes.

One, the genes win, and Liu Chuang becomes the way they want him to be.

Two, it remains a stalemate until Liu Chuang dies.

There is no third outcome.

Because, no matter how strong Liu Chuang's will is, it cannot change his genes; if he could change his genes, Liu Chuang would not be the Nuo Star God of War.

That would be an existence surpassing the Galaxy Power, turning into pure idealism.

Qing Long, standing to the side, could not help but feel anxious seeing Ye Cang just staring at the test results without speaking.

"Chief Engineer, please don't just stay silent!"

"Liu Chuang's genes have been tampered with, so what do we do next? Do we need to change the tampered genes back?"

Hearing Qing Long's words, Ye Cang turned his head to look at him.

"How do I change them?" Ye Cang said. "A normal person's DNA has tens of thousands of gene segments, with some having as many as 20,000."

"And I know nothing about Super Soldiers; there is simply nowhere to start."

"Taking a step back, even if I could change them, are you sure the entire DNA chain wouldn't collapse afterward?"

This counter-question left Qing Long dumbfounded.

How could it collapse after being changed?

Could it be that Liu Chuang is stuck like this for the rest of his life?

But, how were those people who tampered with the genes able to do it?

Seeing that Qing Long still wanted to speak, Ye Cang interrupted him in advance.

"Alright, don't speak."

"Go do whatever you need to do; I need to think about exactly what to do."

Qing Long really wanted to stay, but after seeing Ye Cang's expressionless face, he silently turned and left.

He knew that if he stayed, he would only disturb Ye Cang.

It was better to leave and let Ye Cang concentrate on thinking.

Once Qing Long left, Ye Cang moved his gaze to Liu Chuang.

Regarding the plan to save Liu Chuang, the simplest way would be to correct the tampered genes.

But this was simply unrealistic.

It wasn't that there was no technology to correct genes.

It was that the Nuo Star God of War's genes had existed for such a long time that their genetic structure was already worlds apart from the original version.

As for those tampered places, heaven knows what they have turned into now.

I'm afraid that even if you caught the person who originally created the Nuo Star God of War's genes, they wouldn't dare to attempt a correction.

A slight carelessness, and that would be the collapse of the entire DNA chain.

By then, Liu Chuang's life would be completely forfeit.

It can be said that there really is no way now.

Looking at Liu Chuang, whose brows were tightly furrowed, Ye Cang just sat there quietly thinking.

Thinking about how to make Liu Chuang return to normal.

The genes are too complex, and he is not in this field himself; it is too late to learn now, and besides, Liu Chuang's situation is not looking good!

Just at this moment, a figure appeared in Ye Cang's mind.

Kaisha.

As the Angel King, her understanding of genes must certainly surpass his own.

But seeking her help does not seem to be a viable option.

It looks like he still has to rely on himself.

After thinking for quite a while like this, Ye Cang finally had some ideas.

Although there are tens of thousands of gene fragments in DNA, these fragments are not all useful; only about two percent are truly usable.

In other words, the other 98 percent of genes are just a bunch of bystanders.

And his principle of gene optimization is to optimize those two percent of useful genes; those optimized genes will have the ability to discriminate.

They will discriminate against those 98 percent of bystander genes.

From those 98 percent of bystander genes, he just needs to pick out the truly useful ones to keep and continue optimizing, and directly devour the useless ones.

So, could he use this principle to have those tampered genes devoured?

After all, those maliciously tampered genes are truly useless!

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Cang felt it was feasible.

Mainly, this is the only method available at the moment.

Liu Chuang's current situation requires the intervention of external forces.

As for his method failing...

Failure does not matter; at most, he will just think of other ways.

Do not forget, Liu Chuang relies on the Dark Plane to fight; the Dark Plane is the foundation.

Having determined the method, Ye Cang immediately drew another tube of blood from Liu Chuang.

He wants to use Liu Chuang's own blood to cultivate the Special Protein.

Only in this way will the effect be the best.

Ye Cang was already familiar with the cultivation of the Special Protein, and in just about half an hour, he had everything finished.

The rest is left to time.

In the blink of an eye, 2 days passed.

Qing Long came by during this period to visit Liu Chuang, and nothing else happened.

On the third day, Ye Cang checked the Special Protein cultivated using Liu Chuang's blood.

Upon looking, Ye Cang discovered that the Special Protein had actually finished cultivating and could be put into normal use.

Immediately, Ye Cang took out the Special Protein and injected it directly into Liu Chuang's body.

After the injection was completed, Ye Cang sat back down on the laboratory chair; he looked at the unconscious Liu Chuang and suddenly thought of an extremely interesting topic.

Are humans truly free?
