Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 49: Spirit Particle Theory

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The blonde OL walked in front of him, her hips swaying left and right, forming a ‘S’ shape that was extremely mesmerizing.

Feng Lin focused his vision downward, ignoring all distractions to his state of heart.

One could freely adjust the features of their avatar in the virtual reality. Thus, there were all sorts of ‘monsters’ all around.

Ignoring the fact that this OL looked extremely mesmerizing here in the virtual universe, her true self might be a sturdy old mother capable of brawling with black bears and felling trunks of giant trees.

So, you know...

As the two of them descended down the space, they got nearer and nearer to the planet occupied by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.

Breaking past the layer of clouds, a cloud elevator formed as they slowly descended through the air.

Feng Lin didn’t feel surprised as anything was possible in the virtual universe.

After all, humans were the creator of the virtual universe. As long as they could imagine something, they would definitely be able to do it.

As the cloud elevator descended, a storm of thunder, wind, and rain manifested before him. The buffeting winds roared as lightning flashed, creating booms of thunder that were extremely terrifying.

But at the next instant, the cloud elevator suddenly transformed, splitting apart from the middle, revealing a room that radiated a feeling of science and technology. Five figures could be seen already seated here.

“Are you the one applying for the internship position, Mr. Feng Lin?” Judgemental looks turned over. The one who had spoken was a middle-aged man that was seated in the middle. He currently had a smile on his face.

These five interviewers didn’t hide their features. There were elderly and young ones among them, but all were undoubtedly of the white race, caucasians.

In addition, their bloodline was extremely pure, all of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, with no hints of hybridism at all.

Feng Lin silently marveled. He then spoke in reply, “I am!”

“That’s good then. From your resume, it states that you are still a senior high student. It’s really not bad that your vitality stats managed to reach 3.3. However, you also said that you are a genetic researcher? It isn’t that we wish to doubt you, but you have to understand that even for genetic researchers, the amount of knowledge they had to have on genomics as well as their understanding in it, in addition to mythological theory, all had to be at an astronomical level. All these knowledge needed to be accumulated bit by bit through a long period of time. You are just too young...” The main interviewer didn’t mask his doubts at all.

Feng Lin nodded, not feeling surprised at all.

He had long since considered this problem.

After all, geneticist is a top-ranked occupation that had an extremely high barrier of entry. He was only 17 years of age; it was only normal that others would doubt him.

However, he was confident in himself.

The contents of the research notes recorded in the black microchip were completely in his brain. In addition to his knowledge on myths and legends of the Ancient Earth Era, his foundation definitely wouldn’t be inferior to ordinary genetic researchers.

Feng Lin contemplated a little before he replied calmly, “My age might be young, but this doesn’t mean that my ability is small. It’s useless to simply talk. You guys can ask me any questions you want, and after I answer them, all of you will naturally know my standards.”

The five interviewers started slightly. Upon seeing his confident manner, they mutually exchanged glances before nodding. “Prepare well then, the interview shall start now.”

As for Feng Lin’s status as a senior student, they didn’t care about it.

The students of the Interstellar Era all had extremely high intelligence as well as high capabilities. For geniuses, they wouldn’t waste their time in school. It was very normal for them to come out to society to gain some experience.

Feng Lin sat with his chest up, his expression turning serious.

“Since you are here to interview as a geneticist’s intern, let’s start by telling us about the origins of geneticists.” On the leftmost corner, an old man with the bearing of a professor issued the first question.

This was simple.

Feng Lin naturally had already prepared well before he came here for the interview. This question was unable to stump him.

He didn’t even need to gather his thoughts. He instantly replied, “Geneticists are experts on the domain of genetics. Through researching mythological genes, they attempt to probe the secret of humanity’s rise, allowing them to understand the reason behind the extraordinary powers the mythological genes can grant by studying their innate nature. Mythological genes are microscopic substances, but they can act upon the macroscopic universe, allowing humans to manipulate unimaginable powers. Hence, geneticists study the micro to the macro, using the mythological genes as their base as they pursue the ultimate truth...”

Those interviewers nodded in agreement as Feng Lin continued to speak.

One couldn’t help but say that although this answer wasn’t amazing, it conformed with their knowledge and didn’t have any logical flaws in it.

But of course, with just an answer like this, it was impossible to make them feel satisfied.

The interviewer that was second to the left was a blonde female with an elegant face. She seemed like an ice beauty and when her turn came to ask a question, she did so with a tricky one.

“Our Giant Pharmaceutical Company wants to recruit genetic researchers as interns to concoct and manufacture genetic medicine under our directions. Tell me then, why the majority of genetic medicines cannot be produced by machines and have to be concocted by humans?”

The answer to this question was extremely complicated.

Feng Lin gathered his thoughts and planned his words.

“We have to start by speaking about the so-called extraordinary particles of the spirit particle theory. According to the deducements from super A.I.s, back in the Ancient Earth Era, during the desolate periods where science and technology were extremely backward, mythological characters and legends actually appeared frequently.

“All of them had power enough to shift mountains and overturn seas and were even referred to as gods by the ordinary masses of humanity. Each ancient civilizations of earth had different gods, different myths and legends, but why was it that as time passed, these godly characters appeared less and less frequently until they vanished completely?

“Chinese mythology spoke about the time period of law’s end. Norse mythology spoke about the twilight of gods—the Ragnarok. The bible and Maya mythology spoke about the end of the world... There are different records about the same thing in all mythologies, cultures, and religions. This is definitely not a coincidence. As time passed, humanity no longer had extraordinary strength and abilities and had no choice but to develop science and technology.

“However, why did humans begin to awaken their mythological genes and came to control extraordinary powers after the Interstellar Era started, after humanity ventured out from their original planet? Why did they fail to achieve this during the past era? Because, the answer was that they were lacking in spirit particles that were known by its full name as spiritual qi particles.

“According to findings from an ancient ruin on Earth, during the desolate time period, such spirit particles were in abundance, and some humans with special talents would be able to sense these spirit particles and control extraordinary abilities through interacting with the particles. However, as the amount of spirit particles declined with the passing of time, the appearances of these superhumans gradually vanished, verifying the fact passed down in the myths and legends about the end of the world. All this lasted up until the Interstellar Era. When humanity started to propagate to the other planets, they discovered the existence of spirit particles once again and realized that they could control the spirit particles through awakening their mythological genes.” Feng Lin summarized his points concisely, bringing up a brand new theory.

Spirit particle theory was a theory that was juxtaposed with the mythological gene theory of this era. However, the spirit particle theory was too reclusive, and its fame was far inferior compared to mythological gene theory. Hence, not many people knew about it.

Feng Lin had also learned about this through his black microchip.

He paused for a while before continuing. “As to whether the existence of spirit particles could be verified, the conclusion would lead us to the question of what is the difference between genetic medicine and ordinary medicine? Ordinary nutrient medicine has fixed compositions and hence, machines could manufacture it as much as you want them to. However, genetic medicines are different. The reason why is because the slightest change in the composition of an ingredient could lead to great variance in medical potency. The main point is that one has to infuse active spirit particles into it at the point of concoction, and these spirit particles can greatly strengthen one’s life force or stimulate their potential. Also, because the movements of spirit particles cannot be determined, machinery cannot accurately detect the change in medicinal potency. Only humans who can sense spirit particles will be able to detect this via their five senses and make the necessary adjustments in different circumstances as required. This is why the vast majority of genetic medicines have to be concocted by humans!”

All of the five interviewers had smiles on their faces. This answer had satisfied all the requirements of the question asked.

They could sense that Feng Lin was getting into the zone more and more, and his answers got better and better.

The interviewer in the center laughed as he asked, “Can you describe the movements of spirit particles in detail?”

Feng Lin nodded. “Spirit particles are a kind of extraordinary particle. They cannot exist independently and generally have to attach themselves to spiritual substances/creatures. Also, spirit particles have no mass and might not even have a physical form, possessing only wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics. When spiritual creatures neared it, spirit particles would produce a unique transition phenomenon, moving about randomly due to the presence of different spiritual substances that would mutually affect each other. There’s no way for machines to predict the movement orbit of the spirit particles, and this is known as the spirit particle motion. For this point, it is extremely similar to the Brownian Motion and hence, in spirit particle theory, this is also known as Spirit Brownian Motion!”
