“Selecting…”

“Negative choice...”

“Tie. ”

positive selection, negative selection, tie, negative selection, tie, positive selection, positive selection, tie, tie, negative selection, tie, negative selection...

The number of newborns globally is between 380,000 and 390,000, with an average of about 0.24 seconds before a baby arrives in the world.

One second, it's just a blink, and four or five babies are born.

Gathering the cries of a day's newborn babies together can be a sharp, spiky sound wave; even more so if they all make positive or negative choices or flat sounds. And this wave is turning into Gu Jun's head.

Negative choice, tie, choosing...

Countless naive voices, tumbling and twisting, scraping his cortex, his neurons, his blood vessels.

Gu Jun and Cai Zixuan, Wang Ruoxiang and other pedestrians came to Dahua City First People's Hospital and heard the giant wave, then walked into this isolated baby care room, his blood vessels were all swollen. But he wasn't entirely sure that he really heard or just hallucinated.

The baby's cries suddenly rang, in this nursery.

The nursery is quite spacious, with a row of incubators and related equipment against the wall, but most of the incubators are now empty of clear glass, with only five boxes containing babies, two boys and three girls.

One positive choice, two negative choices, two layouts.

Another severe stab in the head, Gu Jun took a deep breath, filling his lungs and abdomen with oxygen supplied by the oxygen bottle in his protective clothing.

It breathed out longer, but it didn't relax his heart.

“Yark Jun?” Walking next to Cai Zixuan asked.

Wang Ruoxiang also looked forward. The last time she had locust disease, she had a keen sense of smell of genetics. This time, she also came with emphasis.

“It's okay.” Gu Jun responded, “It's hard on me. ”

Wearing a fourth-level protective suit was just a routine procedure, which he had long anticipated, as well as the Cat of Usa and the Elder of Atar.

Calling Saab Nicholas against chaos is not without consequences.

The consequences are not just the painful loss of abortion for millions of pregnant women at the time...

Something the old raccoon said again rang in Gu Jun's ear:

“That should be different from the disasters you have faced in recent years… diseases, plagues are meant to destroy life, Sab-Nicolas does not destroy life, it breeds life, evolutionary life, just the heavy pressures it brings, and it will be a disaster. ”

After returning from the fantasy dream, Gu Jun handed over the original words when making the report.

So as soon as it happened today, I went to the spell department and it caused a shock.

Coming, or coming.

“I don't think that's a sporadic word, that's the word itself.” When Gu Junchu listened to the baby's words, he had this judgment.

Soon, however, urgent briefings from other countries confirmed this.

Whether it's the flag country, the Ross country, the British country, all over the five continents of the world, the difference is that it speaks the local language.

But not all newborns, preliminary statistics are not average probabilities, and there is no prominent population commonality.

These abnormal newborns have both parents, single mothers, and tube surrogates.

Those mothers ranged in age from teenage teenagers to older women in their forties, almost all of whom were of childbearing age.

All social classes and occupations are inadequate.

From the data, it looks like it's completely random. Even five pregnant women in the same maternity ward, or three pregnant women in the same clinic, may not have had an abnormality in the last infant, may have had one, or may have had two or three.

Not only in Dahua City, Dongzhou City, Apartment North City and other places, but there are also abnormal babies like this.

The same is true of the mysterious world.

It's not an accident.

“Wow, wow...” The baby girl cried particularly loudly, she was Xu Autumn, the first abnormal baby born in this hospital, negative choice.

Gu Jun stood in front of the incubator and looked at this swaddling baby in the incubator. He was no older than one of his ancestors.

She cried blushing, her wrinkled eyes still open.

“I'll call the nurse.” Cai Zixuan went back.

Gu Jun took another deep breath and remembered that the baby's father was excited to almost kneel down to ask them to rescue his daughter, while the baby's mother was still resting in the post-partum hospital bed. It was not clear that the situation had escalated to the highest level.

Selecting, Positiveselection

This is a concept of natural selection, simply put, where a mutant gene occurs in an individual in a population, giving the individual greater viability and greater opportunities for reproduction in his or her environment, thus benefiting more offspring, and the mutant gene spreads through the population.

That's a good choice.

Negative selection, Negativeselection

Contrary to choice, the mutant genes of an individual are unsuitable for the environment, impair survival and reduce reproductive opportunities, and are naturally eliminated.

In the long history of human evolution, there must have been more different genes, leading to various diseases, defects, freaks, but not passed down in the human gene library because of death, premature death, no offspring.

That's called a negative choice.

However, a mutant gene is a positive or negative choice, not an absolute one, depending on the context in which it is located.

EDAR370A is the endemic gene of most East Asians and one of its effects is that it leads to a 15% higher body sweat gland density than the rest of the population and is particularly susceptible to sweating; the other is that it leads to denser, straighter hair without that natural curling.

Because this variation in ancient times had a survival advantage with environmental adaptation, it was a choice.

But if you put EDAR370A in a desert environment that's been hot for years, it's a negative choice.

Because being prone to sweating means that your body will lose more moisture faster, and where water is scarce, sweating is not an easy option.

In the small glacial period, the diabetic pathogenesis gene is a positive choice, because hyperglycemia has an antifreeze effect, giving you a greater chance of survival, knowing that life expectancy in the small glacial period can be much shorter per capita than death from diabetes.

And in modern times, this gene is a negative choice. If all of a sudden the global ice is sealed, this gene will be a positive choice again.

So, the mutant gene itself has no positive or negative difference, which is that the environment determines the positive or negative, the fittest survives, and the discomfort is eliminated.

And the environment is constantly changing, so the genes of a population have to be diverse.

Even some seemingly useless and harmful genes continue to accompany humans. They may have been the finest survival strategies, or perhaps one day, all of a sudden, the finest.

It is not always a choice to be genetically chosen, not particularly advantageous or particularly frustrating, but to balance choices.

positive selection, negative selection, layout

What's the decision now? There are all kinds of environments around the globe. Is this the time when dark forces are active at a new peak...

Gu Jun noticed that these five abnormal babies in the nursery room, those two level-headed babies fell asleep quietly.

The baby, who was choosing, had opened a large pair of lacquered eyes and turned around, seemed curious to look at the world.

And two negatively chosen babies, both crying and crying, seemed uncomfortable.

At this time, Wang Ruoxiang warned: “Xu Qiuyue seems to be opening his eyes...”

Gu Jun also saw that this negative choice baby named Xu Qiuyue's eyes were opening. Newborns open their eyes at different times, from birth to week.

I don't know why, but he looked at the two wrinkled eyes and panicked.

Suddenly, the baby girl opened her eyes in tears.

Those nascent eyes, they're all white, no pupils.

That is, there is no lens, all vitreous, all vitreous...

Negative choice.
