"Yeah."
Han Ning nodded.
Before coming here, his understanding of the Dimension was almost zero. If he followed those people to explore the Dimension as soon as he came in, he would definitely die.
"Well, you don't have to think about that now."
Bai Yu turned around. "Since you're here, your mission is to do research with me. Now, let me familiarize you with this laboratory."
As he spoke, Bai Yu pointed at the surrounding equipment and started introducing them to Han Ning.
"This is the machinery to cut the experimental specimens. This is the blood pool used to store blood…"
Under Bai Yu's lead, Han Ning finally had a chance to observe the place.
When he first arrived, Han Ning was still a little nervous. Now that he calmed down, he realized that this wasn't the entire research institute. It was just one of the main laboratories that was filled with all kinds of apparatus.
These machines were sophisticated and high-end. Just the messy operation buttons and mechanical arms on them gave Han Ning a headache.
Other than that, there were also various instruments used to record data at the edge of the laboratory. Han Ning could not understand the data on them either.
After one round, the entire laboratory gave Han Ning the feeling of two words—
High-end!
Han Ning had to admit that although the rule of the financial groups was very harsh, the technology they possessed was indeed top-notch.
Bai Yu seemed to read Han Ning's mind and smiled. "You're new here. Do you think that these apparatus are too complicated?"
Han Ning nodded.
Bai Yu did not mind at all. "It's alright. These things look complicated, but most of them run automatically. Also, you don't have to operate them in the beginning. You just have to learn basic theory from me."
"Okay, uh…"
Han Ning didn't know how to address him.
Bai Yu saw through Han Ning's thoughts and smiled. "Call me Professor. This is how we address each other in the research department. If you have anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."
Han Ning was relieved. He indeed had many questions that needed to be answered.
"Alright, Professor. Before coming here, I only roughly understood the concept of genes and dimensions. Now, can you give me a detailed introduction?"
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since we are researchers, we can't just have a rough idea."
Thus, Bai Yu let Han Ning sit on the chair while he went to the opposite side. He slid his fingers on the instrument in front of him a few times and a light screen flickered out.
Then, Bai Yu started introducing the knowledge about genes.
From Bai Yu's introduction, Han Ning understood that the genes mentioned here were not in the ordinary sense of genetics, but a transformation of life!
Devouring the genes of other life forms and integrating them could allow humans to obtain stronger strength, speed, vitality, and other benefits.
This was the genetic evolution that people yearned for.
Only now did Han Ning finally understand the true concept of genetic evolution.
Before coming here, he only knew that fusing genes could make one stronger, but he did not know the principle behind it.
As Bai Yu explained, the relevant animated demonstrations appeared on the light screen.
In the image, the symbols representing genes fused into the human body, and the various body values were immediately marked with arrowheads pointing upwards. This represented the improvement of various abilities.
This kind of animation was very intuitive. Even a noob like Han Ning could understand it at a glance.
After understanding the concept of gene integration, Han Ning couldn't help but ask, "Then, Professor, what's the matter with the Dimensional Space? Why is it that humans can only obtain the fusion and evolution of genes after opening the Dimensional Space, but not before?"
Bai Yu had a look of approval in his eyes, as though he was satisfied with Han Ning's active thinking.
He then gave an explanation.
"Dimensional Space refers to planes that exist in different dimensions."
"You should have heard of one-dimensional point, two-dimensional surface, three-dimensional solid, right?"
"Yes."
Han Ning gave an affirmative answer.
Bai Yu continued, "Then, you should know that different dimensions possess different levels of power. Let's put it this way. It's like how a three-dimensional life form can destroy a two-dimensional life form!"
Han Ning nodded. What Bai Yu said was actually very simple.
Just like humans and ants, humans' understanding of the world was three-dimensional, while ants' world was only two-dimensional. Therefore, when a single person encountered a single ant, their strength was completely overwhelming.
For example, if you drew a line on the ants' path, they would think that the path was blocked because there was only a two-dimensional plane in the world of ants. There was no concept of 'crossing'.
Seeing that there was nothing Han Ning did not understand, Bai Yu continued, "In that case, you should understand. The space we're in right now is a four-dimensional world. This doesn't mean that the lifeforms inside are all four-dimensional. It means that the level of their genes are stronger than ours, surpassing any lifeforms in the three-dimensional space we lived in before."
"I see!"
Han Ning was enlightened.
According to Bai Yu, the reason why they opened up this four-dimensional space and could use the genes of the lifeforms here to evolve was because the lifeforms here were more advanced than humans.
Of course, this referred to the aspect of genetic evolution, not the true level of the lifeforms here.
To be precise, the lifeforms in this four-dimensional space were in the process of evolving from three to four dimensions.
And these life forms were the limit that humans could deal with.
Otherwise, humans would be crushed like ants when facing a real four-dimensional creature!
This was because there was simply no comparison between the two.
Suddenly, Han Ning felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
After settling these doubts, Han Ning asked again, "Professor, could it be that we fused genes to break through to a higher level of life?"
"Of course!"
Bai Yu gave an affirmative answer.
"Human beings integrate genes and increase their strength so that one day, they can evolve into a higher four-dimensional being, or even a five-dimensional being!
…
Following this topic, Han Ning learned too much from their conversation.
Unknowingly, a few hours had passed.
Bai Yu seemed to be a little tired. "That's all for today. Your accommodation has probably been arranged. Go pack up first. I'll give you a demonstration tomorrow."
"Got it, Professor."
Han Ning stood up to leave.
What Bai Yu said about genes and dimensions today was enough for him to digest for a long time.
After leaving the laboratory, Han Ning was led to his residence by a guard.
His residence was not far from the laboratory. There were tables, chairs, and beds inside. It seemed that someone had already prepared everything for him.
Han Ning had nothing much to unpack, so he let the guard take him around.
Having just arrived, Han Ning still wanted to familiarize himself with the environment.
He did not forget that he had come to this barren land because of the Sun family!
Therefore, how could Han Ning be willing to stay here and work for the Sun family!
