Deep Space Fleet

Next, amidst the hustle and bustle, another biologist, Professor Wei Jiahui, submitted his own bill, the "Human Genetic Modification Act"!

There is no way for human science and technology to develop further. There are many factors, not just the legendary "energy-extreme desert" conjecture. In fact, there is an even bigger reason: humans are... so stupid!

The intelligence of ordinary people has reached the upper limit after learning a little calculus. Let them learn more difficult things, and they have begun to be unable to do what they want. But calculus is just an ordinary tool for exploring nature. In the eyes of scientists, it is not much different from 1+1.

Limited to intelligence factors, human beings have limited memory and can learn quite limited things.

Various modern disciplines have been extremely specialized, even a genius like Zhang Yuan, there is no way to suddenly engage in biological research from the aspect of space machinery.

But just relying on a few top geniuses is no longer enough to promote the development of the entire civilization.

"So, through gene editing, we can comprehensively improve the intelligence level of the next generation of humans and cultivate more and more geniuses!"

"If it can cooperate with the social public support system, it will undoubtedly be a great pioneering work!"

"Can you imagine a world where geniuses are mass-produced?"

this proposal...

Zhang Yuan frowned, he didn't know how to evaluate. Maybe it was because this meeting accepted too many things, and I was a little numb.

After a while, someone stood up and questioned: "But, Mr. Wei, how should we achieve this? It is true that everyone wants higher intelligence...but..."

"Is it necessary to conduct human experiments again and again? As a doctor of biology, I have the right to reject such cruel and inhuman biological experiments."

The people below don't want to discuss any "social raising" anymore, and gene editing has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of science.

What should I do if there is a mistake in gene editing and some mutations are produced?

Destroy the whole person?

A biologist raised his hand and spoke: "Professor Wei, we don't have a complete understanding of genes. There are thousands of genes related to intelligence. If each gene has two equivalent genes, the entire combination The quantity is 2 to the thousandth power!"

"This number is countless times more than the number of atoms in the entire universe!"

"How do you decipher the best combination of intelligence? Not even the fastest computer can do that."

This is an almost unsolvable problem. Even if the genetic data of all human beings is analyzed, comparing 2 to the thousandth power is only a drop in the ocean.

What's more, there are not only two types of a gene. For example, blood type genes. In addition to ABO blood type, human blood types also have various other blood types, such as Rh, MN, and Xg.

Is there a relationship between blood type and intelligence?

Of course it matters! Even if there is no direct relationship, there is a certain indirect relationship.

In addition, people have 46 pairs of chromosomes, and genes are also one-to-one. Therefore, the genetic combination of intelligence will only be much greater than 2 to the thousandth power!

But then, something unexpected happened. Professor Wei was silent for a while, and sent a piece of information to the big screen: "Please don't worry about this, we have already found several groups of relatively good genes. combination."

Wow!

It's just a revelation!

There was another commotion in the venue.

Zhang Yuan looked at all kinds of information on the screen, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, which seemed to have something to do with his sudden increase in intelligence.

Human beings have been pursuing intelligence since ancient times, and social transition through intelligence is known as the most "stable" and "convincing" way of social transition.

Especially in the gray age of lack of energy, the oil was exhausted, and the flames of nuclear fusion did not appear for a long time. The huge crisis of survival led to the occurrence of two world wars!

People yearn for the emergence of ... scientific giants.

In that context, the human genetic modification project finally broke the traditional taboo and happened in private.

The first genetic project, called the "HIA Genome" sequence, this set of genetic sequences was figured out by investigating inbreeding populations - the probability of mental retardation and genius will increase.

There is a small probability that a genius will be born, and a group of idiots with low IQs will be born with a high probability.

It is difficult for scientists to explain why this is so. The genetic code has not yet been deciphered, and anything can happen.

All in all, the "HIA genome" sequence will make human intelligence develop towards extremes.

The second genome, called the "BIA genome".

A gene combination found by investigating people with high IQs.

However, because the genes of people with high IQs are too complicated, no particularly convergent combination can be found. Therefore, this genome sequence is very, very large, and it is sometimes ineffective.

In general, the intelligence of children born using the "BIA genome" will increase by about 6%-10% compared with the average level. The security is relatively high, and under normal circumstances there will be no mental retardation.

If it can be used on a large scale, an increase of 6%-10% is already a remarkable figure!

The third genetic project is called the "Anti-Eye Man" project.

This plan attempts to straighten the inverted retina of human beings to directly liberate the computing power of the brain.

The structure of the human eye is exquisite, but it is not perfect, mainly because the retina has a large number of defects.

The human retina is attached upside down, and the retina and the wall of the eyeball are only loosely contacted by the top of the photoreceptor cells and the pigment cell layer, so it is easy to fall off.

Objects are imaged on the retina, just like the image of a small hole, upside down, only after the brain processes it will make humans feel that the world is right.

This garbage-like retinal structure not only makes the eyes very fragile, but also takes up a lot of computing power of the brain when restoring visual images.

At the beginning, the crazy scientists had such a guess that if they used some eye genes of the octopus to "stick" the human retina, all problems would be solved. Maybe, by liberating this part of the brain's computing power, humans can become smarter.

Of course, when it comes to genetic research, humans were still at a very naive stage at that time, and any genetic changes would bring about a series of chain reactions.

Three plans, some successes and some failures.

"HIA Genome", brought rich results!

The birth of a scientific giant directly promoted the entire era.

"BIA genome" is only useful if there are more people. Even in the war years, relevant departments did not dare to clone humans on a large scale.

But the "anti-eye man" project did not succeed. Unfortunately, the brain has no way to recognize the biological signals brought by the new eyes. These poor "experimental products" went blind directly, and their whole life was spent in darkness...

With just a few words in the information, it is difficult to describe exactly what happened at that time, but it can be vaguely imagined.

A turbulent wave immediately appeared in Zhang Yuan's heart!

Cold sweat came out bit by bit from the back, soaking through the entire clothes...

This kind of thing that even he can't accept has happened in history...

Even, he may have the blood of "HIA genome" flowing in his body!

Simply, unimaginable.

He sighed deeply.

Humans have never been a moral species, never have been.

What counts when an existential crisis is actually born?
