Chapter 19: The Tree of Civilization and the Stairway to Heaven
The scene quickly zoomed out, and soon the Earth became smaller and disappeared, and then even the sun was no longer visible, leaving only the silent starry sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At the same time, a small violin sound sounded slowly.
Lu Ze was slightly stunned at first, but quickly figured it out.
The scenes he had seen before were all generated by the Star Spirit Network in real time according to his thoughts, with the purpose of allowing him to experience the events that happened in history in an immersive way, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening his memory while transmitting knowledge to him.
Obviously, since Xingling.com can fully understand human language and communicate with humans, it is not difficult to simulate virtual scenes based on historical Chinese offerings, pictures and video materials.
But now this music is obviously not generated by the Star Spirit Network.
This also means that the next virtual set is likely to be a "documentary" about the Prometheus Project made by someone else.
Thinking like this, Lu Ze looked forward to it even more.
-- The Prometheus Project is divided into two parts: first, the Tree of Civilization.
At this point, a piano melody is added to the background music, and the music suddenly becomes ethereal.
A little light lit up in front of Lu Ze's eyes, and soon changed from being invisible at the beginning to a glowing Chinese character - Dao.
Then more light lit up, and characters appeared out of thin air.
These characters include kanji, English, Japanese, Arabic, Greek letters, numbers, and many more symbols and characters that Lu Ze did not recognize.
A huge circular platform appeared at Lu Ze's feet, and countless glowing characters floated around this platform.
-- Thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists and linguists, a completely new language has been created. It is simple to write and pronounce, can accurately describe all complex scientific concepts, and the design process of this language also involves the study of the human brain, which greatly reduces the difficulty of understanding knowledge and improves the speed of learning.
The characters that surround the platform sometimes come together to form formulas or sentences, and sometimes they are scattered.
In this back-and-forth process, all but ten Arabic numerals eventually evolved into a completely new type of character.
-- Millions of experts in various disciplines began to sort out and summarize all the technologies and knowledge of human civilization, weeding out the chaff and preserving the essence, and finally summed up all the technologies and knowledge into a new and huge system.
At the same time, the countless characters around the platform suddenly all began to rotate around the platform, and the speed became faster and faster, and these glowing characters dragged their long tails like meteors in the process of moving at high speed, forming a storm of light!
Then the characters flew out of the storm of light, landed on the platform, and then fixed down.
Although Lu Ze had not seen these characters, when they formed sentences and formulas, he felt as if he could guess their meanings out of thin air.
This is not because Xingling.com has influenced him through brain-computer interfaces, but because of his understanding of mathematics.
But this reflects how simple and easy to understand the language is.
The earliest words that fell on the platform represented the most basic mathematical logic.
Then more characters were stacked on top of each other, from set theory to abstract mathematics, from number theory to functions, from geometry to topology, and the characters were stacked higher and higher, and began to fork: physics, chemistry, biology, ...... Then the branches representing these disciplines began to be further subdivided.
When all the spinning characters around the platform disappeared, a tree of technology, or civilization, that stood hundreds of meters tall and composed entirely of glowing characters.
Standing under the tree, Lu Ze was as small as an ant.
-- Second, the ladder of heaven.
At this point, the background music suddenly transitions to the next movement, and the musical style suddenly becomes heavy.
Suddenly a staircase appeared next to the Tree of Civilization, extending towards a huge golden gate in mid-air.
An orangutan begins to climb the stairs.
Lu Ze also floated involuntarily at this time, and then slowly flew upward.
As the orangutan climbs upwards, it gradually changes to an upright walk, and finally to a human.
However, when the golden gate was still less than ten meters away, there was no more staircase ahead, and the background music stopped abruptly.
-- When the great stagnation of technology made human beings aware of the limitations of their own intelligence, the improvement of human intelligence through genetic modification was no longer a fantasy that could only appear in fiction. When human civilization is facing a desperate situation, all ethical issues are no longer a problem. The Ladder of Heaven is to open God's forbidden zone with genetic adjustment technology, and through genetic manipulation of fertilized eggs, the newly born human beings can have intelligence far beyond that of non-human beings.
After a short pause, all the musical instruments sounded at the same time, and the mighty and epic music made Lu Ze can't help but have a feeling of blood boiling, as if he is witnessing the awakening of human civilization!
In science, 90% of the untapped part of the human brain is often referred to as God's exclusion zone.
Lu Ze knows that the ladder of heaven not only means that genetic adjustment technology will touch God's forbidden area, but also implies that these genetic adjusters will become fire thieves of human civilization and steal controllable nuclear fusion technology from God to the world.
-- Genetic adjustment has been difficult from the beginning, and none of the zygotes that have been genetically edited have developed normally.
At this moment, some characters flew out from the branch of biology on the tree of civilization, forming dozens of new stairs floating in the air.
The man on the stairs who had been transformed into an orangutan began to continue to walk up, but after only two steps, the steps seemed to be unable to bear the weight, and they fell directly from mid-air with the person, shattering into a cloud of light.
Lu Ze had already expected this.
Although mankind has made great progress in the field of biotechnology, these advances are largely dependent on the development of information technology.
For example, the technology of manipulating gene sequences is essentially just a device for conducting research that has become more advanced, rather than a breakthrough in gene theory.
In fact, the study of genes has always remained superficial.
For example, knowing that a certain piece of gene represents a double eyelid.
One only needs to observe the parents and children of some families to find that it is possible for both parents to have double eyelids and the child to have single eyelids, so as to conclude that double eyelids are the dominant gene.
But is this really about genetics?
In the process of human development, how exactly do the double eyelid genes affect the substance, and then control the human eyelids, forming double eyelids?
I don't know at all!
Not to mention the most complex brain in the human body.
Unless human beings can truly grasp the laws of genes, it is not enough to stumble upon a so-called genius gene.
Human beings are a whole, and no cell can survive without the human body. Especially in the process of infant development, all genes will affect each other in the process of controlling the development of the body, and it is impossible to modify or insert a certain gene alone to make people obtain intelligence far beyond ordinary people.
In Lu Ze's view, if you want to really achieve this, it is even more difficult than achieving controlled nuclear fusion. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called God's forbidden zone.
This time, however, he was wrong.
-- The advent of artificially guided reproductive warehouses has changed everything. Since genetically edited zygotes cannot develop naturally in the maternal environment, they are monitored and guided in real time throughout the developmental stage. Since it is not possible to modify a gene alone without causing other problems, then solve all the problems that arise! Millions of scientists are on standby at any time to find a problem in the growth and development of a genetically modified baby, and then to develop a solution as quickly as possible, and then guide the baby's development through the artificial reproduction chamber.
More characters flew out of the tree of civilization, not only biology, but also countless characters from the branches representing the disciplines of physics and chemistry.
Eventually, the entire Tree of Civilization disappeared again, replaced by a mountain of characters that reached the Golden Gate.
At this time, the person who climbed the ladder also reappeared, and slowly walked into the golden gate on the stairs.
At this moment, Lu Ze felt that his heart was deeply touched.
Yes, humans are stupid, but stupid people also have their own way of solving problems.
The story of Yugong moving mountains has never been a kind of irony!
ββIn 2070, the first genetic adjuster was born, and his name was Zhang Yue.
-- With hope for the future, people refer to genetically modified people as Prometheans.
