Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 21 Migration Models
At this moment, people still don't know anything about the specific identity of that "ancestor".After all, it is impossible to trace the origin of genes in such detail, and there are many omissions in historical records.Especially for ordinary people, even if it is a family tree or a local chronicle, it is unlikely to leave a name.

He may be just an ordinary farmer, living in an ordinary small mountain village, and spent an ordinary life.But in his body, for some reason, a gene has mutated, generating a brand new gene that has never been seen in human history.

The mutation of this gene made his hair thicker than others.But this kind of thing, I am afraid no one will notice.

As he got married and started a family, his descendants also inherited this gene from him.With the passage of time, his descendants gradually multiplied, more and more people, more and more, spread out, and migrated to all parts of the world.

This is actually just a very common thing, so common that no one will pay special attention to it.After all, this kind of thing can be said to happen almost every day.Because new genetic mutations exist every moment, they will also be passed on along with the birth of new life.

But things are so strange.It happened that the gene he mutated caused his descendants to bear the mysterious "curse" and became the target of the X organization.

Lu Ming has no concept, let alone feelings, for his ancestors who didn't know how many generations ago.If you want to say resentment, you can't say it.

He cheered up: "If only the current information is used, it is still too general, and it is impossible to pinpoint exactly who my ancestor was, what age he lived in, and where he lived. The next step is to think about it. The only way is to go a step further.”

The gene traceability work carried out at this stage is only at the scientific and technological level, and it is only a general positioning through technical means.If you want to go into more detail, technological means alone are no longer enough.

Still need to add some other means.

"This matter is simple." Lu Qingliang immediately said: "I'll find some professors of anthropology and ask them to bring in more graduate students and treat this matter as a subject. Well, I need to find some professors of genetics Experts, Professor Shi Guofu's team is good. There must also be historians, archaeologists, and computer experts..."

The series of subjects reported by Lu Qingliang made Lu Ming a little confused.

Lu Ming could barely understand subjects like anthropology, genetics, history, and archaeology before, but he couldn't understand when it came to computer experts.

"What are you looking for with a computer expert?"

"Data modeling." Lu Qingliang looked as if it should be taken for granted: "After collecting the family tree, genealogy, and genetic data, of course, we must invite computer experts to make a migration model to analyze the data, so that we can get as close to the facts as possible."

Lu Ming didn't quite understand.But seeing Lu Qingliang's confident look, he still chose to believe him.

Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's use the data of the human gene bank as well. Find other people who have the gene that we don't know, and collect data from them."

The more data, the more accurate the final positioning.This is a very simple truth.

He Wei hesitated a little: "Then, don't we have too many people to protect?"

"I'll report to the director and director." Zhang Dingshan said calmly, "Don't organization X want us to invest more energy in this area? We will do what they want."

Zhang Dingshan made such a big move, which made Lu Ming feel a little uncertain.After all, this is just a slightly crazy and unreliable idea of ​​his.

Zhang Dingshan seemed to see through what he was thinking: "It's not a big deal to consume some resources, manpower and material resources."

Lu Ming was silent for a moment, and finally felt relieved.

Indeed, compared to a mysterious gang that might explode with the power of a nuclear explosion anytime, anywhere, consuming some resources is really not a big deal.

So the specific division of labor between the three was quickly completed.After that, He Wei looked at Lu Ming: "Just wait for the news at the base."

Lu Ming smiled wryly again.

Living well and living safely is his only job.

Time passed quickly.Under Zhang Dingshan's mobilization, many people gathered here one after another.

Facing this project with ample funding and completely funded by the Planetary Security Agency, those graduate students and professors were all very excited.As soon as it was in place, it started working immediately.

Through on-the-spot visits to people, surveys, conversations, etc., a lot of data has been generated, and together with further information obtained by Professor Shi Guofu through scientific and technological means, it has been imported into the analysis model built by computer experts.Specially hired archaeologists and historians also conduct on-the-spot investigations within the delineated range by collecting historical materials, visiting, and visiting.

With the accumulation of many data, the positioning of this "ancestor" has become more and more accurate.At this moment, the time frame has been shortened from the previous 200 years to about 80 years, and the area has been narrowed from the previous general "southern foot of Taihang Mountain" to a county-level administrative unit named Woye.

After further work, the time frame was finally fixed to AD 1500 to AD 1540, only 40 years.

During these 40 years, he gave birth to his first boy and passed on the gene.Based on the common age of childbearing age in ancient times, calculated between 15 and 50 years old, the earliest date of his birth was 1450, and the latest was 1525, that is, between the Zhengtong Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Jiajing Emperor.

The living area is centered on a village called "Nanji", within a radius of ten kilometers.

This is the limit of current technical means and data records.It's basically impossible to go any further.

During this process, the three members of the second operation team of the Thirteenth Division of the Planetary Security Bureau also discovered several new disappearance cases along the way.According to He Wei's previous proposal of "identify the first generation of inheritors first, and then use this as a starting point, through various data analysis, screen out the suspected descendants who have migrated to various parts of the world, and finally focus on screening out Hag.1 Genes and kidnap them”, the three also conducted a review.

The final result was that the three discovered that after confirming that the ancestor's living area was near Nanji Village, and that his birth date was around 1450-1525 A.D., with the data at hand, it was actually possible to identify the ancestor who had already lived. Find the missing people!
This proves that this scheme is indeed feasible from a practical level.This also proves that this is most likely the new method adopted by the X organization after its own large-scale "sociological experiment" and information blockade!

This is an extremely important clue.From a certain level, the previously disconnected clues have been connected again, and a new situation has opened up.

But this also means that a new problem arises.

"How did Organization X manage to pinpoint this ancestor?"

This is a very strange thing.

Here in the second team of the operation, the three people have already mastered the list of many people who have the gene. Under this premise, they are supplemented by many investigations, such as anthropology, sociology, computer science, archaeology, genetics, history, etc. , the "reason" of this ancestor was deduced from the final "result".

However, it is impossible for Organization X to have a list of these personnel - if they have this list, they can just kidnap people and trace the source.After all, kidnapping talents is their ultimate goal.

But the list of these people is the basis for all subsequent investigations and inferences. Without these lists, it would be impossible to locate this ancestor.

This leads to two possibilities.First, all the speculations made by the three members of the second action team, including Lu Ming, were wrong, and the result was the cause. The new approach adopted by Organization X is not at all what people think it is.

The second possibility is more terrifying.That is...

Organization X knew who this ancestor was from the start.

They don't need to do any traceability investigation, they knew it from the beginning.Moreover, on the premise of knowing the detailed information of this ancestor, instead of deducing the cause from the result like the second team of the operation, they directly calculated the result from the cause, and finally screened out those missing persons.

However, if it is the second possibility, what is so special about an ordinary person who has no name in history, so that the X organization can grasp his information from the beginning?

This kind of speculation made people's heartbeat start to speed up.

After all, what was so special about the Hag.1 gene that allowed the X Organization to persevere remained a mystery.Solve this mystery, the truth is almost clear more than half.

However, if that ancestor really possessed some kind of peculiarity, which caused the X organization to obtain his information from the very beginning... Doesn't it mean that our own side is not far from the truth at this moment?
After a period of discussion, the three finally completed the division of tasks.

"I'm going to investigate these missing cases."

Zhang Dingshan took the initiative to undertake the most difficult and tedious tasks, but also the most important tasks.

He Wei said: "If the X organization really had the ancestor's information from the beginning, and wanted to screen out his descendants from cause to effect, I am afraid that detailed data investigation will be indispensable. They may have already A survey has been conducted in the surrounding area of ​​Nanji Village. I will check this matter."

If the clues of the X organization's investigation are really found, then the fact that "X organization knew the ancestor's data from the beginning" can also be confirmed.

Lu Qingliang said: "I'm going to collect and analyze the historical records of that time period, and find out if anything worth noting happened here during that time period."

"Okay. Let's do it."
