Chapter 770: "The Engineer"
When studying the psychological behavior of human reproduction, psychologists have discovered an interesting phenomenon, when a person's bloodline can be clearly traced back to several generations later, even if his ancestors were serfs, the person will feel proud - at least they will feel better than others how they came to be, and there is a shallow expression: although my ancestors are serfs, at least they can pass on descendants like me......
This is a very inexplicable and emotional conclusion, but the infamous Nazi right cross was derived from the discovery of the right cross during an archaeological expedition to the ancient city of Troy, and then an amateur archaeologist, a historical novelist like Luo Guanzhong, linked it to some records in Hindu history, and gave rise to the right cross symbol that drove the whole of Germany crazy - for Phoebe, such scientific results, or "flashpoints of thought", were very useful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Naturally, Phoebe didn't go down the path of doom, and the result was that the employees of Titan knew that their leaders would be happy to see them marry and have children, preferably four children per couple.
The reason is that there are four combinations of XX from the mother and XY from the father. Based on this principle, Titan has implemented an extensive genetic genealogy marker system, so that all employees and their children have a sense of pride in themselves that is far greater than the outside world - for example, some little girls will say, "I have good qualities from my grandma and grandpa" (grandma's X + grandpa's X), while others will say, "My grandpa and grandma will always be with me." (Grandpa's Y and Grandma's X) are words that can easily be misunderstood to the outside world.
Of course, the children who say this are not those born after the establishment of Titan, after all, it has only been a little more than two years since the establishment of Titan, but it is undeniable that the birth rate of Titans is very terrifying.
Phoebe does not completely erase the racial superiority of neo-Nazi members, but transforms that racial superiority into a sense of sanctity and mission for personal procreation, in fact, she is intimidating her employees: if you don't have children, it will cause the genes from your ancestors to disappear completely, and if you have fewer children, half of your ancestors' blood will be lost forever. Think about how difficult it is to evolve from a cell to a human being, are you embarrassed to completely cut off the genes of your ancestors because of your personal pleasure or whatever?
Based on this statement, coupled with the assistance of Astria, Iapetus employees who don't want to have children will feel guilty - of course, Phoebe is not simply letting employees give birth naturally, after all, when giving birth naturally, the combination of genes is uncontrollable, so in addition to the first offspring is obtained by the husband and wife according to the laws of nature, the remaining three children are all genetically manipulated, of course, in fact, these four children will be genetically manipulated to rule out those natural genetic diseases.
Phoebe convinces Titan employees that the prevailing theory of multiculturalism based on genetic diversity in Europe is a false proposition without guaranteeing that the genetic diversity of the original European population will be fully preserved.
Of course, Phoebe and Titan both understand that they have no obligation to save all of Europe, they are only responsible for the Titan themselves, so although Phoebe's remarks are reasonable, but they have not spread outside, after the Titan people understand their reproduction mission as a single creature, they all understand that in fact, the pressure of raising four children is still quite large, and this kind of system that only i Titan can have within the company to help employees raise is obviously impossible to spread to the whole of Germany, or even all of Europe, then, the neo-Nazis that insisted on before, to hell with those things, everyone should unite around Phoebe and take care of themselves firstγ
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Phoebe will not let her female employees become fertility machines for the sake of four children, you must know that that will cause her dominance to be easily shaken - if women become fertility machines, it will naturally follow complete male supremacy, and then how will Phoebe rule the entire Titan as a woman?
In fact, there is another reason for the abnormally high birth rate of Titan, that is, the use of Titan's unique artificial womb technology, except for the child born by the husband and wife in a natural way, the remaining three chromosomal combinations of children are conceived and produced through the artificial womb.
As a result, Phoebe gained the absolute loyalty of the female employees of Titan.
And the evil thing about this technology promoted by Phoebe is that even if she is gay, she can make offspring without relying on other people's genetic cells, that is, if Phoebe wants to, she can make children of her and Sister Sun, and what is even more evil is that compared to the X chromosome, the Y chromosome is shorter and contains very little genetic information - in fact, all Y chromosomes are identical in terms of functional genetic information.
Based on this principle, Phoebe can split her own or Sister Sun's X chromosome into a new Y chromosome, that is, she can not only make her daughter with Sister Sun, but also her son with Sister Sun.
In fact, Barbara mentioned the idea to her last year, but Barbara was talking about them instead of Phoebe and Sunny......
Phoebe is able to completely control the 110 trillion cells in the body, which makes the production of chemical elements such as pheromones also completely controlled - in fact, many of Phoebe's behaviors do not need to be expressed and fed back through chemical signals like ordinary people, but directly through rational thinking to simulate perceptual thinking, and then do it, so in Phoebe's heart, making offspring is not a thing full of love, but like an excellent factory making excellent products...... That's right, in Phoebe's view, childbirth is actually the process of making new products, so Barbara's words are just emotional reverie after excitement, while Phoebe, who has no emotional thinking and needs human beings to provide a sparkle of thought, thinks it's a pretty good idea.
Of course, Phoebe didn't plan to create offspring yet, after all, she knew that if she did get a child, Sister Sun would definitely break up with her - at least more than 90% of the time.
In addition, Phoebe does not think that her body functions will age like ordinary people, after all, Phoebe, who can operate each cell, although she does not know why she can operate cells, but she knows that she is far beyond ordinary people in terms of the number of cells - human cells are generally between 35 and 80 trillion - And Phoebe also knows that her cells can be transformed, and she has carefully examined it, at least after she was rescued by the U.S. military, no cell has died or apoptosis, that is to say, Phoebe has always been worried that she is immortal, which is why when Phoebe stays in the hotel, she will definitely leave traces of the house that has been cleaned before leaving, so as to avoid someone trying to collect her dander hair but not finding it, in fact, Phoebe does not like to go to the hospital for any examination, and it is also because of this.
Of course, Phoebe doesn't think she's a monster, and she doesn't think she's a human, but she's not human.
It is precisely because of this logical basis that Sunny will be "relied on" by Phoebe - before Sunny appeared, Phoebe has not been able to find a specific connection point with human society, and the reason is because she can't remember anyone's face, and remembering other people's looks is the basis for human social activities and psychological identity - Interestingly, this is also based on the logic that during her time in Hawaii, Phoebe, who had memorized a lot of psychological knowledge, believed that social foundations and psychological identity were two foundations that were important for identifying with human identity.
Well, from here, Phoebe is the same as the artificial intelligence software she made, because only the logical thinking of human identity makes her have to be entangled in human identity, and the software she makes has no such cognitive impairment because she is clearly told that it is software.
That is, there is no rigorous logic that can convince Phoebe that she is not human - of course, there is no doubt about her biological makeup. She's just a person with no emotional thinking at all, and as far as Phoebe knows, there have been many people like her in history. The vast majority of such records exist in religious records, especially during the period of slavery and serfdom, which was very popular in Europe, where female abuse and murder were very popular, which made Phoebe think that there was some truth in some people saying that she was a witch.
Of course, this is also what makes her feel strange, all of them are women, and while witch hunters are indeed mentioned in witch hunting manuals, none of the male victims in the religious records show the traits of pure rational thinking...... Of course, because the number and detail of the records are not enough to form data for systematic analysis, Phoebe doesn't understand too much, and she won't waste time digging deeper, she only needs to know one thing, and that is to resolutely not let others know her secret.
More than 90% of Titan's unique medical technology comes from Phoebe's own understanding, although in many cases some medical technology can be deduced through logical thinking, but in the end it is not as straightforward as those intuitive engineering technologies of simple natural laws, the reason is that during her study in Boston, Phoebe went to Harvard Medical School to dissect more than 40 research corpses with her own hands, and through her unique absorption mechanism to avoid any microorganisms from the outside world entering the body, she understood one thing, sure enough, no one is exactly the same, after all, the combination of more than 35 trillion cells is indeed difficult to repeatThis is true even if there is a pair of identical twins who are quite precious to her in the research corpse - well, it is indeed Phoebe who finds a pair of identical twin brothers and asks them to "donate" their bodies, but it is important to remember that any modern medical research is based on this......
This is also the reason why Phoebe decided to leave MIT, she has achieved all the scientific records she can obtain, there is no point in staying there, it can only delay time, and most importantly, she has Jane and Mira's letter of recommendation to her sisterhood, and it is okay if she doesn't show up in the first year of freshmanship, and if she doesn't go in the second year, it will make a lot of problems deteriorate, especially since she also made a prank company, and it was very successful, and formed the same mechanism as the fraternity and sorority, so Phoebe naturally can't stay in MIT anymoreγ
Phoebe's every move is the optimal choice under the combined action of multiple conditions, at least the best choice when she can get enough information to support her, but she never feels that she can sit back and relax, and Barbara's engagement ceremony, in addition to the purpose of appearing in the circle and integrating the resources of the forces, also has the purpose of showing the Atlantic Floaters.
Although Phoebe didn't say it, everyone thought that the Atlantic Floaters were a super-large refuge base, especially the underwater entrances at depths of 400 meters, 230 meters, and 80 meters, which made Pentagon officials who learned of this situation even more amazed. During the Cold War, the United States has been studying how to deal with the problem of preserving the chain of command as much as possible after a nuclear strike, and the state-engineered shelters are almost all over the United States, but in the 2001 incident, the lawmakers who were evacuated from Capitol Hill could only stay on the open lawn and wait, which naturally made the congressmen dissatisfied with the president who had been flying in the sky for almost two days. Since then, lawmakers have gone to great lengths to get American taxpayers to build shelters where congressmen and their families can take refuge in times of crisis, and many of the large, secret projects have begun almost before the U.S. military retaliates against the Middle East -- as mentioned earlier, a significant portion of Titan's lost man system is used for static cover for these shelters.
Even so, the Pentagon is under pressure from Congress, because most of the members of the House of Representatives have quite large families, and the entire upper circle of members will naturally want to enter the refuge. So the Pentagon has to restart maintaining and renovating the shelters built during the Cold War - but the problem is that there is not enough money.
So, after seeing the Atlantic floaters with their own eyes, and hearing from Ebron that a total of 3.8 million people could be housed in the underground part here, the Pentagon was of course happy, and as I just said, the underwater entrance at three depths could even formulate a plan for the rich men to land in the unpolluted sea area by plane, and then the submarine would pick them up.
Therefore, no one cares about how Phoebe got it in Titan, and whether the Titan people are completely "mind controlled" by Phoebe, and even some people know that Titan has such a fertility concept within it, and their own fertility concept has also changed, so Phoebe's hope for the idea of adding an interception system to the price building on the floating island, even before Barbara and Ebrun put it forward, many people rushed to say it - in Barbara's opinion, this is all for sale.
And the Titan people, after knowing this, realized one thing more profoundly, that is, they must respond to Phoebe's call to have at least four children, otherwise the Atlantic Floaters will soon be occupied by the swarming outsiders. What's even more interesting is that this panic of the Titan actually "infected" Asteria, who in turn infected Artemis, the management system of the Atlantic Floaters.
So, while filming the last "Spider Ramen", Phoebe received a call from Barbara: "Phoebe, Artemis has closed the ground access to the third basement floor, and now it can only reach the surface through the direct passage below the third floor. β
"Hmm? Is this triggering some kind of alarm? I didn't get any news from here...... By the way, is anyone stuck over there?"
Barbara said: "The specific reason is not clear, there are three visiting groups, a total of eighty people, trapped by her fantasy of using the maze system. However, because of our people, Asteria had already re-routed and brought people out, and the people in the group noticed something, but they didn't say anything. β
"What did the Verification Department say?" asked Phoebe.
"They don't know, there's nothing wrong with Artemis itself, you know, only the information that has been verified by Asteria will be used by Artemis, and everyone suspects that there may be a mistake in Asterea's information record. Barbara added.
"Well, got it...... There were no casualties over there, right?"
"That's not true, Artemis only activated the restrictive defense function, not the lethal defense function, after all, everyone has permission to enter, not to mention the presence of people from Titan. While Asteria was planning the route and bringing the people out, Artemis did not interfere or hinder him in any way. β
"Okay, then I'll check it out at night...... Now I'm on set. Phoebe said.
"Well, okay, I'm temporarily stopping organizing guests to visit the third basement floor, and I hope this matter won't have any bad effects. β
"Don't worry, now, we don't have to worry about some of the impact, everyone actually understands that floating islands are important to everyone, right?" said Phoebe.
"Well, Abrun also told me that someone in the Pentagon has tested him if he is willing to pay 30 percent of the cost of nuclear weapons maintenance. β
"Pay?"
"It's not money, it's resources, it's just that these resources are really expensive to buy with money, but Asteria told me that we actually have the ability to make all the maintenance resources ourselves, so the cost is very low. β
"Hmm...... Wait, our main focus for the next two years is to increase the ability of floating islands to intercept incoming targets. As for the ability to counterattack, we will do something else in the future, and we will not use nuclear weapons. β
"You're not going to say it's a biological weapon, are you?"
"No, we're going to drop something from orbit that can completely deplete the ozone layer in a short period of time, after all, people can get some food in a nuclear winter. "Phoebe's subtext is that if you really want to do it, then no one can think about it except relying on floating islands.
Barbara naturally understands this, after all, she has been in the Eastern European diplomatic intelligence field before, and knows a lot of secret research projects on the Chernobyl-contaminated area in the former Soviet Union and later Ukraine, and these projects were bought back by the Titan who went to dig up the remains of SS soldiers in Eastern European soil after she reminded Phoebe, so she said: "Uh...... Okay, I see, do you want me to hint at someone else?"
"No, don't say anything. β
"Good...... By the way, don't forget to check Artemis, she now controls the entire island. I hung up. β
"Hmm......" Phoebe nodded, listening to the interruption sound from her phone, and smiled at Zheng Xiujing, who was walking towards him, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Xiujing came up and grabbed Phoebe's arm: "Sister, the new dormitory you live in is too good, isn't it...... I heard that the other side is still empty, and we are going to make our debut in the future, can we also live there?"
"I'm not in charge of this. Phoebe said.
"I know that this is in the hands of Brother Zhu Ying, I gave him an opinion, he said that he can't afford to rent it, but I know, you asked Barbara to bargain with the landlord, hehe~ Can you ask Barbara to help us talk about it. I know that Barbara is about to become your sister-in-law. β
Phoebe nodded slowly and said, "Well, well, in fact, it should be for Zhu Ying to talk to Barbara through the company's channels, it just so happens that you haven't signed an overseas cooperation agency, right, Barbara is a person from Universal Music." β
Zheng Xiujing smiled and leaned close to Phoebe's ear and said: "Hehe, we want to, but we don't dare to say it now, Brother Zhu Ying said, he had a good relationship with Barbara before, as long as we can make a successful debut, he will definitely find a way to get the company to agree to talk to Barbara about signing a cooperation agreement with Universal Music." β
Phoebe nodded slowly again, and said with a smile: "Well, Brother Zhu Ying does have quite an idea. β
"Hmm~"
"Hmm!"
