The portal quietly emerged beside the Forbidden Forest of the Floating Castle.
Trailers containing sleeping animals were pushed in by numerous staff.
"Am I going to work here in the future..."
A female breeder walked out of the portal, glanced at the deep Forbidden Forest, then turned to look at the magnificent castle complex in front of her, she was so excited: "Want to live in a castle?"
"Congratulations on being selected." A colleague walked up and touched the breeder's face: "You can finally become a princess, not the kind you get in KTV."
Breeder: “…”
"This castle is inhabited by a prince." A colleague secretly pointed at Chen Yu, who was chatting and laughing with many leaders: "From the sound of his voice, he sounds like a sexy uncle. Little coquettish man, seize the opportunity!"
At this time, the floating castle has reached the Pacific equator, and its height has dropped to four thousand meters.
But many animals cannot adapt to this altitude.
Helpless, Chen Yu had no choice but to lower the altitude by another thousand meters.
Animals that still cannot adapt are sent to several courtyards in the castle.
As for the two "captured" giant pandas, they were arranged in the largest central courtyard. He is cared for by two keepers, with Hermione helping to regulate the temperature.
After working for more than half an hour, everything was arranged properly.
After removing dozens of ornamental birds, a total of twenty-seven animals were left on the floating island, which was not too many.
There are ten keepers, all of whom are regular employees of the zoo.
They are considered the first residents of the floating castle.
In addition, a leader who claimed to be in charge of the zoo employees also desperately wanted to stay, saying that he could help Chen Yu "manage" the employees, but Chen Yu kicked him back from the Pacific Ocean back to the capital.
Ten people plus dozens of animals will consume a lot of food.
In order to avoid trouble, Chen Yu directly asked the zoo to move in a month's worth of survival supplies.
As for a month later... His plan has already been implemented, and he doesn't need to take care of the supplies at all.
Saying goodbye to the official staff who talked endlessly, Chen Yu disconnected the portal and led ten breeders into the castle and into a classic conference room.
Sitting in the first place, Chen Yu pushed up his mask and said with a smile: "First of all, welcome you to officially join the floating castle family. No need to applaud, just listen to what I have to say."
Everyone quickly put down their hands.
"Among you, there are real breeders and people with special status. I don't care about these. But since you join as breeders, you must do your job well. After completing the work, the entire island Feel free to wander around as long as you don’t damage it.”
As he said that, Chen Yu raised two fingers: "But there are two places you can't get close to. One, the principal's tower. Two, the library. As for where you live, Hermione will arrange dormitories for you."
"Finally, let's talk about the issue of animals. Under my experiment, they are currently in a benign coma. You should observe more and take notes,"
"That's all I want to tell you. Let's all applaud."
"Pa bang bang..."
"The meeting is dismissed!"
Waiting for the ten keepers to leave, Chen Yu looked at Hermione and asked about business: "Do you know something about the human body?"
"In addition to being a robot that assists in the operation of the floating castle, I am also equipped with a parenting module." Hermione smiled: "Basic science popularization is one of my duties."
"What are microorganisms?"
"It is a special flora cultivated by humans at the end of the 21st century. Its main function is to regulate the bacterial balance of the human body and prevent the occurrence of diseases."
As she spoke, Hermione flicked her staff and displayed a set of dynamic pictures in the air, explaining in detail: "This is one of mankind's greatest inventions. Its history can be traced back to 2003, after mankind completed the genome project. We have obtained the sequencing of all human genes and understood the functions and expression results of all human gene fragments."
"Human beings at that time, including the academic community, did not realize the huge role of this plan. It can be said that the main support for human beings to build an increasingly prosperous civilization was this plan."
"Continue." Chen Yu's curiosity was immediately aroused when he heard the secrets about modern times and the future.
"In 2003, after mankind completed the genome project, it was discovered that these genomes could not explain all human phenomena, and then the follow-up of the genome project, the Human Microbiome Project, was launched."
"In decades of research, humans have finally determined a truth that shocks the world."
"What truth?"
"The main body of human beings is actually composed of microorganisms." Hermione said in a steady tone: "Although there was a similar statement in the biological world at the end of the 20th century, it was not until the beginning of the 21st century that it was finally confirmed."
"There are 60 trillion cells in the human body, but the number of bacteria is close to 2000 trillion. They form a stable symbiotic relationship with the human body and control human physique, diseases, life span, and even habits and thinking."
"This...how is this possible?" Chen Yu was stunned.
"The simplest example. For example, some people like to eat beef, some like to eat sea fish, and some like to eat sweets. Humans in the past simply thought that this was their own idea, but they did not know that these appetites were controlled by a part of the bacterial flora."
Hermione swung her staff, pointed at the flora in the virtual projection, and continued: "These flora produce various chemicals in the intestines, affecting the host's thinking logic, allowing the host to only eat things they like and adapt to. For example If humans who often eat beef eat seafood once, it can easily cause the intestinal flora to become unadapted, which will 'torture' the host and stimulate biological enzymes, making the host feel disgusted with seafood."
"I like watching movies, playing games, doing sports, liking someone of the opposite sex..."
"Most of these so-called individual behaviors are the result of various flora and chemical reactions in the body."
"Many personality changes found after organ transplantation have also been confirmed to be caused by changes in the bacterial flora..."
"And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the impact of flora on the human body. With the deepening of research, humans have gradually discovered that the so-called individuals are actually symbionts composed of bacteria, viruses, parasites and a small number of cells."
"This has caused a subversive revolution in the culture of human society. In medicine alone, after shifting its focus from cells to microorganisms, many diseases and viruses, including cancer, that were originally terminal diseases, have been conquered."
"The overall lifespan of human beings has also exceeded the theoretical limit of telomeres with the help of various artificial flora. The accumulation and use of knowledge has become more efficient, and civilization has begun a real technological explosion."
Turning off all the projections, Hermione looked at Chen Yu to summarize.
"Microorganisms are one of the greatest artificial flora invented by mankind."
"That… "
Chen Yu's eyes flashed: "When did the human microbiome project you mentioned end?"
"Led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2007, China, Japan, Britain and other countries participated. It was originally planned to be completed in 2025, but due to the breakthrough progress of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2021, it will be completed It’s four years ahead of schedule.”
"2021? This year?" Chen Yu stood up suddenly.
"Yes. In 2019, the academic community recognized the dominant position of flora in the human body. In 2021, the plan was officially completed, and the results began to be slowly applied to human society. In 2035, the first artificial flora was successfully developed, and mankind was completely freed from the disease. Ninety percent of diseases.”
"So..." Chen Yu instantly recalled the news he had seen: "Some professionals on the Internet predicted that in the future, a vaccine will make you healthy with just one shot..."
"It's the artificial flora." Hermione nodded: "Through these flora, all flora are balanced and diseases in the body are treated in a targeted manner."
"I see… "
"I see… "
From these moments, thinking of the plan he was about to start, an inexplicable coldness swept through Chen Yu's body...
…
(For the needs of the plot, the results of the Academy of Sciences and Jiaotong University were delayed for several years.)
(Updates will be added in the evening.)
