“Dr. Cui, have you found something?” Qin Yuan asked the very emotional Dr. Cui when he arrived at the laboratory.
崔博士点着屏幕，一脸不可思议地说道：“我们从火焰身上提取到的血液和其他组织样本，含有非常奇妙的物质。经过我们的反复测试，发现它能够快速促进细胞的生长和变异，修复损伤，甚至可以改变生物原有的基因图谱。我敢肯定，火焰与两百年前的海豚相比，已经产生了很大的变化，或者说是进化。”
Dr. Cui pointed at the screen and said with disbelief, “The blood we drew from Flames and other tissue samples contain a very miraculous matter. Through our repeated tests, we found that it could quickly promote cell growth and evolution, restore damage and even change the genome of an organism. I am certain, that there is a great change from Flames compared to the dolphins two hundred years ago, or I should say, evolution.”
“这对火焰有什么危害吗？”秦渊问。
“Does it endanger Flames in any way?” Qin Yuan asked worriedly.
“暂时还没有发现什么危害，相反，如果我们的推测不错，火焰应该比普通海豚更加健康，更加长寿。”崔博士顿了顿，又道“我觉得两百年前的那场豚疫，与其说是天灾，不如说是一种残酷的自然筛选。四百年前，人类也曾遭受过一次全球性的FD病毒入侵，夺走了将近1亿人的生命。活下来的人，不仅是身体素质提高了，而且身体机能也出现了不同程度的变异。目前普遍认为，这种变异是一种特殊进化。”
“At the moment, we have not found anything danger from it. On the contrary, if our speculations are true, Flames should be even more healthy and long-lived than normal dolphins.” Dr. Cui paused, then spoke again, “I think that the dolphin epidemic two hundred years ago, rather than a natural disaster, it would be better to call it a cruel natural filter. Four hundred years, humans have also suffered from a global FD virus invasion, it almost snatched away a hundred million lives. The people who survived, not only has the basic foundation of their body been greatly enhanced, their body functions also seem to have underwent different levels of development. The current universal belief is that this kind of development is some kind of special evolution.”
秦渊冷声道：“这所谓的进化，严重影响了人类的繁衍能力，人口出生率直线下降。近一年，全球新生儿甚至不足4000万，已经达到了危险的临界值。”
Qin Yuan coldly intercepted, “This so-called evolution gravely influenced humanity’s ability to reproduce and the population birth rate is on a straight decline. In nearly a year, the population of newborns in the entire world did not even surpass forty million, it has already reached a dangerous critical level.”
现今人类平均寿命大约180岁，生育率却降低了六成。每五对夫妇，都未必有一个孩子，即使利用科技手段，孕育成功率也不过37%。
The current human life expectancy was about 180 years, yet the birth rate was reduced by six folds. Every five couples might not even have a single child, even if they used science, the pregnancy rate was only 37%.
“我相信人类很快就会攻克这个难题。”崔博士对此倒是颇具信心，并不太在意，目前更让他关注的只有那两只海豚。
“I believe that humanity will very quickly work together to solve this difficult problem.” Dr. Cui was rather confident about it, so he did not care to much. At the present time, he was more concern about the sole two dolphins remaining.
秦渊没有深入讨论的意思，突然问道：“火焰几岁了？”
Qin Yuan did not plan to go into a deep discussion on the subject, and he suddenly switched subjects, “How old is Flames?”
