The Rise Of Space Technology

Among the inheritance seeds, Liu Yuan also knew of some low-level civilizations. Because the gene technology was not mature enough, the gene technology was abused on a large scale, and the gene drugs that delayed lifespan were also abused.

The consequences are also extremely serious.

Due to the abuse of genetic drugs, some civilizations have caused the genes of the entire civilization to be polluted and mutated, some have gene collapse phenomenon, and some have huge problems in the reproduction of the entire civilization. The gene drugs produced by human intervention have changed the genes , so that the phenomenon of not having children is very common.

Even if it is born, there are often problems such as genetic mutation, deformity, dysplasia, intellectual disability, etc. As a result, the entire civilization does not need any external force. With the passage of time, the entire civilization gradually moves towards perish.

The horror of genetic technology lies in this, it can change genes invisibly and affect the next generation, so that you can't even notice it and it has slowly declined.

This is also the reason why many people on earth have been strongly opposed to genetically modified foods for a long time, because no one knows whether this thing will really mutate and affect human genes, and whether it will cause more and more people to become infertile. birth, deformed offspring, etc.

To be in fear and fear is to be opposed, of course.

It's just that when ordinary people face capital, their power is extremely weak, and genetically modified foods are still popular, appearing on people's tables and food lists.

Liu Yuan is also very clear about this, and it is also the reason why he has never dared to announce and launch genetic medicines to the society.

Experiments are experiments. Many monkeys in the laboratory have been tested, and various animals have also been tested a lot. It seems that this gene drug is quite good.

But in the real large-scale promotion and use, Liu Yuan is still full of worries and always maintains the most cautious attitude.

With the development of science and technology, the power that can be grasped is getting stronger and stronger, and the influence it brings is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, we must always maintain the principle of prudence and use the power of technology with caution.

Especially now that he is the leader of the Yanhuang civilization, any decision will have a profound impact on the entire civilization, so he should think twice before proceeding with caution.

Fortunately, I have inheritance seeds, I have a lot of experience to learn from, and I can also know the current situation of genetic drugs.

Now, the genetic medicines that can prolong life in the hands of Yanhuang Civilization are actually quite good.

There are no side effects, and the impact is not large. It will not cause genetic mutations, and it will not affect fertility.

This is mainly because the biotechnological technology of Yanhuang Civilization has been on the right track from the very beginning, and Liu Yuan relied on the biotechnological technology in the inheritance seeds to plan and develop.

Follow the right path, develop faster, and have fewer problems.

If it is some unguided civilization, if it relies on its own continuous exploration to develop biological gene technology, it is very likely to go astray. The biological gene technology developed by this is very unreliable. There are many in the universe. Civilization is destroyed in its own hands.

Some civilizations have finally made breakthroughs in biological gene technology, and developed genetic drugs that can prolong life.

This lifespan has indeed increased, but the consequence may be that the entire civilization loses its fertility, cannot reproduce, and eventually leads to destruction and extinction.

It is also possible that a genetic mutation or the like has occurred. Various problems have occurred in the genes of the entire civilization. Diseases are rampant and raging, and diseases that were previously inconspicuous may kill the entire civilization.

Various civilizations emerge in an endless stream, and the impact is extremely terrifying.

In fact, according to the development trend on this side of the earth, it is very likely that such a phenomenon will occur in the future.

Capital controls everything on earth. If a gene drug that can prolong lifespan is developed, under the control and drive of capital, it will inevitably break all constraints and allow it to be used recklessly on a large scale.

The consequences will be unimaginable. Just think about the situation of genetically modified food. This is not an alarmist, but it is indeed possible in the future.

Therefore, gene technology must be cautious, especially when it is related to the entire civilization level, it must be considered and thought carefully.

"In addition to the unknown risks and effects that may be brought, our current gene drug, although theoretically, can increase the lifespan of a person to 500 years old."

"But it doesn't mean that people's life expectancy is directly increased by 500 years, but it is converted according to the existing life expectancy."

"For example, if you have a life expectancy of 100 years, you have already lived to be 50 years old, which means that you have already walked half the road."

"If you use genetic medicine, it's 250 years old and you have 250 years left, not 500 minus 50, 450."

"So, the earlier this gene drug is used, the better its effect, but because we are not sure of the far-reaching impact it will bring, we have never dared to publish it."

Zheng Yuan continued to report the situation of this gene drug to Liu Yuan in detail. It is not actually how many years of lifespan is directly increased, but is based on the existing lifespan. The original ratio is then multiplied by 500 to know how many years it can really live.

"That's it~"

Liu Yuan nodded again after listening.

This is also a manifestation of the right way gene technology.

There is not no genetic technology that directly increases lifespan. For example, a person has only a few cell divisions left, and his lifespan is almost at the end.

Directly allowing this person to regain dozens or hundreds of cell division times through genetic technology is equivalent to adding an extremely long period of time all at once.

However, this person is already dying of old age, and many aspects of the body are on the verge of death. This time the cell regains a large number of divisions, and when it is re-energized and divided, if nothing else, it only needs to be Where does the enormous energy used come from?

Also, is this split an orderly split? Or a disorderly split?

All of these problems may directly lead to a chain reaction of all the genes of this person, and it is difficult to say that they may become a monster due to all changes. The possibility of direct gene collapse is the greatest.

The truly perfect genetic technology is the current one. It is basically converted over the years that have already passed, so that it can be more stable, the burden on genes is smaller, and it is more stable. Big side effects and mutations and more.

"The reason we dare not publish is because we don't know the impact and consequences of this gene drug, but the earlier it is used, the better, so people can gain more lifespan."

"It's best to inject this drug at birth, so you can get a perfect 500-year lifespan."

"However, no one knows whether the person's mid-growth stage will also change after the injection of genetic drugs, and whether it will affect fertility, development, and so on."

Zheng Yuan shook his head as he spoke.

It stands to reason that the injection should be given just after birth, but the effects of this injection are unknown and uncontrollable.

Don't make a child grow up and it will take a hundred years to grow up. It is estimated that the parent will collapse. Who wants to change diapers for decades.

"What kind of solution is there?"

After listening to Liu Yuan, he thought about it and asked.

"Our Institute of Biotechnology has also held meetings and discussed this for many times. We think it can be used and promoted now."

"But it should only be used for middle-aged and elderly people who have completed childbirth, and it should be strictly prohibited for children and young people."

"And in order to ensure the continuation of our civilization and race, we believe that the use of this life-extending gene drug should only be allowed after each couple has had five children."

"Only in this way can we safely allow this drug to be promoted and used."

After thinking about it, Zheng Yuan also said: "The reason why it is allowed to use it after giving birth to 5 children is the number we have come up with after a detailed study."

"Generally speaking, if the total population is to be kept the same, a couple must have 2.1 children to keep the total population unchanged."

"And if the population is to grow rapidly, the number of births must be maintained at 4 or 5 children to achieve rapid population growth."

"Considering the current population base of our Yanhuang civilization and the cruel competition we will face in the interstellar universe in the future, we believe that the fertility rate of our Yanhuang civilization must be maintained at a high level so that we can have enough in the future. The population faces the brutal competition and pressure of the universe."

"At the same time, there must be enough population to be able to occupy more life planets and a wider starry universe."

"So the final conclusion is that each couple must have 5 children before they can use this life-extending gene drug, so as to obtain a longer life, and at the same time protect our genes. To ensure that our civilization grows and continues."

Zheng Yuan also told the method that the scientists at the Institute of Biological Sciences came up with in one breath.

In fact, the core of this approach is still the principle of prudence, which is always considered for the continuation and long-term development of the entire civilization.

The side effects of genetic drugs are uncertain. In this case, they can only be used after completing the task of continuation and expansion of civilization.

PS: Do you think it makes sense?
