Chapter 119 Biotechnology Development, Star University Admissions
With the capture of the Queen Mother, the remaining queens of the Zerg are like grasshoppers in autumn, unable to hop for more than a few days.
However, there is also a saying that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Zerg originally had a very large territory, and eliminating the Zerg would be a long process.
According to Ethan's assessment, it would take the Earth Federation at least several decades to eradicate all the Zerg.
Based on the connection with the queen, it can be known that there are at least a hundred queens of the Zerg that have not been captured or eliminated.
This intelligence was obtained by Fang Heng's side. On the Earth Alliance side, Jenkins' mental power was not very strong, so his sensing range was very limited, and many queens of insects were not discovered.
Fang Heng was also happy to see this situation.
With the Zerg in existence, the Earth Federation is too busy to deal with us.
However, for safety reasons, all defense nodes will remain in their previous state to guard against a surprise attack from the Earth Federation.
After all, those guys from the Earth Federation are capable of doing many things to achieve their goals.
After arranging the defenses, Fang Heng also turned his attention to biotechnology development.
Much of what we obtained from the ruins of the Pioneer civilization is informational, so we need to start studying it from scratch.
Moreover, some technologies require materials. For example, genes are not like physical materials, which are universal. The diversity of organisms determines the complexity of genes.
For example, human genes are composed of four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). These four bases are what make up the vast number of genes in the human body.
Other civilizations in the universe, while mostly carbon-based life forms, may not have these four basic bases in their genetic makeup; they may be composed of other substances.
The biotechnology of the Pioneer civilization was developed based on their own genes, so many of their technological foundations require the genes of the Pioneer civilization as a cornerstone.
This means that although Jiang Feng acquired these technologies, he still needs to deduce and research them to transform them into biotechnology suitable for humans.
Therefore, Jiang Feng has not started research in the past few days, but has been planning the next research project.
He saw many ideas in these technologies, so in order to prevent his research from becoming chaotic, he planned the existing technologies in accordance with the current direction of civilization's development.
In the main world, in his office, Fang Heng looked at the research plan submitted by Jiang Feng and nodded.
Although he didn't have a background in biology, with Ethan around, the feasibility assessment of this plan had already been done, presented in an easy-to-understand way so that Fang Heng could easily comprehend its meaning.
"Ethan, this plan has been approved. Let Jiang Feng organize the manpower. Also, the enrollment for Star University needs to start as soon as possible. We still lack time."
"Yes, Commander. The relevant procedures have been issued, and the Star University enrollment plan will begin in two months."
"Okay, let's proceed according to plan. By the way, how's the talent selection process going at Tokyo University and in the US?"
"The initial screening has been completed, including some remote areas of the University of Tokyo."
"Very good. The future world will ultimately be a world of talent. These people should be arranged to enter Star University as soon as possible. According to the selection criteria, these people are at a very young age and have great potential. If they are properly guided, they will be of great help to us in the future."
"Yes, Commander."
Since Star Group stepped into the limelight, its previously suspended talent search program has been restarted.
The main locations for implementing this plan are the United States and the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The University of Tokyo had already conducted a talent screening in the early stages, but the scale was not large at that time, and many talents were actually intercepted by the University of Tokyo, which was equivalent to the University of Tokyo conducting a talent screening.
However, this time, the talent selection process was conducted in relatively remote areas.
Furthermore, the age limit is set at 10-15 years old.
With the narrowing of the age range, the requirement for only S-level or higher talent, and the restriction on family background (selecting only those with poor conditions), the number of applicants has been greatly reduced.
According to the data reported by Ethan, there are only nine S-level talents in the entire Dongda University who meet these criteria.
On the other hand, the number of people from the United States was slightly higher, around 15.
This time, Star Group did not give the two philanthropists time to react. After discovering the talents, they initially held back, and only after confirming that no one had been overlooked did they launch a simultaneous attack, taking these people and their families away to Mars.
These people did not immediately enter Star University after being sent to Mars.
On the one hand, these people have just arrived on Mars and need to be settled in, and on the other hand, they also need to adjust their mood.
On the other hand, they also missed the enrollment period for Star University, so the tutoring robot will temporarily provide instruction.
The enrollment schedule for Xingchen University will not be changed easily. Furthermore, to ensure the purity of Xingchen University, the vice-principal is an artificial intelligence AI, and the principal is naturally Fang Heng.
However, Fang Heng doesn't handle affairs; the one truly in charge of campus matters is this AI vice-principal.
Therefore, after Fang Heng spoke, Xingchen University opened up additional enrollment opportunities.
The emergence of the opportunity to enroll students at Xingchen University immediately sparked heated discussions on the websites of the University of Tokyo and the United States.
Everyone longs for a university that exists on Mars, so after enrollment began, many people applied on the Star Group's official website.
There are only two conditions for getting into Star University.
The first step is to complete the test questions on the official website and get a grade of B or higher.
This test is controlled by Ethan's subsystem, as stated on the official website, and there is no possibility of human intervention. Therefore, many people have taken this test, but very few have been able to get a score of B or higher.
The second is the threshold set according to the college entrance examinations of various countries.
For example, the University of Tokyo requires a score above the first-tier university admission line to meet the requirements.
In some regions without a national college entrance examination (Gaokao), a test paper is generated based on the local education level, and students answer it to obtain scores.
Only if both conditions are met will one be eligible for admission.
Furthermore, the official website also provides detailed information that a test will be conducted after entering university to filter out any lucky applicants.
Once admitted, Star Group will issue electronic tickets to Mars and pre-enrollment learning materials to qualified individuals.
You must learn this knowledge within two months, whether by self-study or by having someone teach you. Otherwise, you will fail the entrance exam and be expelled.
Moreover, the materials distributed after each admissions process are different, so it's impossible to use past experience to prepare for this year's exam.
After meeting a series of conditions, only a very small number of students are ultimately able to enroll in Xingchen University.
However, Fang Heng recruits students from all over the world, so the total number of students is sufficient to meet the recruitment needs.
Two months later, just as the college entrance examination scores for Dongda University were released, Xingchen University's admissions officially began.
Fang Heng, being a graduate of Dongda University, was more inclined to favor Dongda students in this matter.
In the Dongda Jiangnan area, a group of people are celebrating inside a villa.
"Xiao Tian, I heard you did well on your grades this time. Your admission to Xingchen University should be a sure thing, right?"
"Dad, it should be fine. My assessment was B+, and my college entrance exam score was above the first-tier university cutoff, so I meet the requirements."
"Well, that's good. Starry Sky University is so difficult to get into. You're the only one from our Ji family to get in. Once the results come in, I'll throw a banquet to celebrate."
"Thanks, Dad. By the way, how's my brother doing? He took the college entrance exam just like me; his results should be out by now, right?"
"Don't worry about that unfilial son. He's always out and about, always fooling around. So what if he gets an A grade in the assessment? If his college entrance exam score isn't good, he still won't get into Xingchen University."
"Dad, is my brother starting to dislike me? Does he feel like I'm taking his place?"
"Xiao Tian, don't worry about him. You are our precious darling. In the Ji family, the capable rise and the incompetent fall. Even if he is our biological son, it doesn't matter."
Hearing his mother's words, Ji Xiaotian smiled, then changed to Cha Cha's expression.
"Brother, it seems that your biological son is ultimately no match for me, the adopted son who has lived here since childhood."
The joy in his heart made Ji Xiaotian's appetite much better, and he ate half a bowl more rice.
Meanwhile, Ji Chen was lying in a hotel room when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Upon opening the door, Ji Chen saw several people dressed in suits.
"Hello Mr. Ji Chen, we are employees of Xingchen Group. This is my work ID. We'd like to discuss something with you. Is this a convenient time?"
"It's convenient, please come in."
"Okay, sorry to bother you."
Soon, these people explained their purpose. Ji Chen, a talent with a rating of 3S, also achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination, scoring 700 points.
Therefore, after Ji Chen applied for admission to Xingchen University, Xingchen Group attached great importance to it and immediately sent people to pick up Ji Chen in advance.
Before they arrived, they had already investigated Ji Chen's situation thoroughly, so they all felt that things would be easy to handle.
As expected, after learning the details, Ji Chen did not hesitate and chose to leave early. However, he still had some documents left in the Ji family villa, which he needed to retrieve.
The staff of Xingchen Group expressed their understanding and said they could provide assistance if needed.
However, Ji Chen felt it was better to handle this matter himself, and it would also be a good opportunity to say goodbye to this family and never have anything to do with them again.
