My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1118 If science can't solve the problem, people will.

Nuwa spread out the documents in the jade box again, her fingertips slowly sliding over the "Experimental Sample Analysis Report" and the "Data Summary Table," her gaze growing increasingly profound.

She found a document labeled "Tracking of the Development of Hybrid Embryos," which detailed the daily changes of three hundred embryo samples.

From the number of cell divisions to gene fragment expression, from the impact of environmental temperature on the embryo to the precise ratio of nutrient supply, every piece of data has a corresponding time, location, and the signature of the observer. Even the slight abnormality in a certain sample is accompanied by an analysis of the cause and a plan for improvement.

"This kind of meticulousness is completely different from my 'insights into the heavens' when I created humans."

Nuwa murmured to herself, recalling the scene of her creating humans. At that time, she relied on the primordial origin to comprehend and understand, using chaotic energy as a guide and the Breath Soil as a foundation. Although she was able to create a complete human race, it was difficult to control every detail of life as precisely as she does now.

When she created humans, if she encountered abnormal embryonic development, she would mostly rely on "divine revelation" to correct it. For example, once when human children were generally weak, she realized in a dream that "the content of spiritual energy in the earth veins of the soil needs to be increased," and she adjusted accordingly.

When faced with a similar problem, Wen Rui analyzed hundreds of abnormal samples, concluded that "a certain gene sequence is related to bone development," and then verified it through countless experiments, finally arriving at a solution.

She continued to look through the materials and came across the "Data Induction and Pattern Summary" section: countless experimental data were organized into clear tables, and through complex formula calculations, the "Gene Fusion Stability Formula" and the "Mixed Race Talent Expression Pattern" were finally extracted.

This process of "first collecting massive amounts of data to simplify the complex, and then simplifying the complex through inductive analysis" stirred up waves in Nuwa's heart.

When she was creating babies, she summarized "four methods of creating babies," but most of them were based on her own experience and insights. She never relied on objective data to deduce the laws as she did this time.

"When I created humans, I relied heavily on 'comprehending the Way of Heaven' and 'being empowered by the void'."

Nuwa raised her hand and stroked the "Record of Creation of Humans," a trace of melancholy flashing in her eyes: "To comprehend the basic principles of creating humans, one must reach the realm of immortals and be able to sense the flow of spiritual energy in heaven and earth; to master the core secrets of bloodline inheritance, one must break through to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal in order to glimpse a trace of the true meaning of the origin of life."

However, very few beings in the Three Realms can reach this level. The vast majority of living beings spend their entire lives passively accepting the life form 'given by the Heavenly Dao' and are unable to actively explore the possibilities of life.

However, the information provided by Wen Rui regarding the "Human Instrumentality Project" reveals a characteristic that "ordinary people can participate."

A "roster of researchers" records the identities of tens of thousands of participants: some were ordinary people who were farmers, but were included in the sample tracking group because of their good observation skills; some were ordinary people who were craftsmen, but were assigned to data processing because of their proficiency in calculation; and some were even mixed-race people who were children, but participated in the collection of feedback on gene expression because of their sensitivity to their own bloodline.

The document concludes with a note: "With each additional intelligent participant, the efficiency of data collection increases by one point, and the accuracy of pattern summarization increases by one millimeter."

"No need for divine guidance or profound understanding; with the great perseverance and wisdom of ordinary people working together, we can explore the mysteries of life."

As Nuwa looked at the list, a strange feeling welled up in her heart. She recalled Guang Chengzi's argument that "mortals are ignorant and need the guidance of immortals and Buddhas," and compared this with the fact that these mortals before her could touch upon the laws of life that even immortals needed to comprehend through empirical research, and even surpassed her own insights in terms of data accuracy, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She turned to the last page of the document, where a line of small print read: "The Way of the Intercepting Sect lies in 'intercepting the Way of Heaven.' It is not only immortals and Buddhas who can intercept it; all sentient beings can use knowledge, empirical evidence, and cooperation to intercept the principles of the operation of Heaven and Earth for their own use and for the use of all sentient beings."

Nuwa suddenly realized that the "Chan Sect" that Guangchengzi upheld, seemingly following the Way of Heaven, actually monopolized the right to "explore the Way of Heaven" in the hands of immortals and Buddhas. On the other hand, the "Jie Sect" that Wenrui practiced was "education for all," spreading knowledge to all beings and allowing mortals to participate in the process of "intercepting the Way of Heaven" through rigorous empirical evidence.

This is actually closer to the essence of "Tao follows nature"—the Tao exists in the operation of all things, and it is not only immortals and Buddhas who can comprehend it, but all living beings can explore it.

After reviewing the research materials on the genetic theory of mixed-race genes, there were also many sociological materials in the storage space, including materials on public health, reproductive health, and the construction of a universal healthcare system.

Nuwa didn't have the patience to look through all of this information, but without reviewing it all, she couldn't answer her biggest question based solely on the technical data she had read before.

The question is why the percentage of individuals with genetic defects among the mixed-race children of the Demon Alliance is kept so low.

The technical information provided by Wen Rui did not contain a method to solve the problem of congenital genetic defects in the extremely complex and redundant gene sequences of the human, demon, and monster races once and for all.

The data even explicitly states that genetic redundancy should not be easily altered, as it would have far-reaching consequences. As long as the code can run, it is considered reasonable and therefore cannot be deleted.

In other words, the methods to solve the genetic defects of mixed-race children can only be written in this part of the information.

Nuwa pondered for a moment, then sent out her divine thoughts to summon the Azure Phoenix female official. She simply asked directly, "I sent you to Freedom City to retrieve these materials. Why did you bring back these materials that are unrelated to 'creating humans'?"

Upon hearing this, the female official Qingluan stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, after investigating Free City for many days, I discovered that the mixed-race race has very few genetic defects. This is not due to the efforts of the Creation Celestial Venerable alone, but rather to the 'social medical security system' he established—a system that incorporates 'reproductive health' at its core, benefiting all citizens of the city."

She paused, then explained clearly: "There is a 'Reproductive Health Institute' in the city. Regardless of whether they are human, demon, or monster, as long as a couple conceives, they can undergo free genetic screening by presenting their 'citizen certificate.' The doctor will use a special 'genetic testing instrument' to extract a trace number of cells from the embryo from the mother and analyze the gene sequence. If a serious congenital problem is found, such as a defect that could lead to premature death or lifelong disability, the attending physician will communicate with the couple and suggest terminating the pregnancy to avoid the child suffering after birth. If it is just a minor defect, such as a gene segment that may cause a weak constitution, a higher 'gene modulation fee' will be required, and experts from the city's 'Genetic Academy' will provide a 'flying knife' diagnosis."

"'Flying knife'? Is it a kind of magic weapon?"

Nuwa asked softly, her eyes filled with curiosity.
