Chapter 243: Custom Genes

When Meng Qian's eagle struck the sky, the ladies, who had already incarnated as the "dragon clan", were admiring the country's newly unearthed and shining gems, red, blue and green, light and dark, large and small...... I can't count them. It is completely worthy of the name of "Gem Country".

Malagasy is famous for its abundance of gemstones, producing dozens of gemstones, and often exposing the finest and priceless products, and now there are a full basket for ladies to see...... There are so many that only this kind of adjective can be used, and Meng Qian is dumbfounded when he sees it.

"So much?" He leaned his head over.

"What do you think of this one?" Gong Hui took a thumb-sized gemstone, and even if it had not been processed, she could feel its deep red color.

"Pretty." Meng Qian nodded.

"Let me see." Erica took it in her hand and looked at it, commenting: "The quality is very good, it can reach the color level of deep red after processing, the impurity content is also very small, and the processing is estimated to be more than 15 carats, it must be a superb, and it must be a must." ”

"Thank you! A gift for yourself. Gong Hui accepted it with satisfaction.

"Where's this one?" Wang Manwen held a blue gem and asked Erica to help her identify it.

"It's going to take a few days." When Meng Qian saw this pile of gems, he knew that their minds had been completely invested in it.

"We don't have a shortage of this stone right now." Tiger picked up an emerald and played with it, for their contractors, they had already monopolized the country.

And they're worth a lot of money, mainly because of their scarcity and hype – like diamonds, how many people cared before the twentieth century?

It's not the phrase "diamonds are forever away." A brainwashing propaganda that will be passed on forever is recognized by people. Gradually becoming a necessity for marriage?

After Meng Qian saw a lot, he calmed down. It's just a scarce stone. Some of the gemstones mined here are not circulated to the market, but are stored to maintain the price in the market, which is called stockpiling. Especially after contracting this country.

The rate of mining in gem pits has slowed down, and the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity. But no matter what, it will allow Meng Qian's wallet to continue to grow. No one would be disgusted with a lot of money, not even if he was now a huge fortune. I don't know when I'll be able to use it!

"What about the kids?" Sandra, who came downstairs, couldn't find these little bits.

"Maybe it's to hug the tiger and the lion." Juliana guessed, showing the jeweled necklace around her neck, "How's it going, Mom?" ”

"My prettiest daughter!" Sandra came over to admire.

"Children love these animals." Tiger said, looking at Meng Qian: "Let's go and have a look?" ”

"Daddy, I'll go too." Juliana is active.

"Come on." Tiger nodded.

They went out and got into a Jeep Wrangler and set off, not a long way. This area is the territory of Tiger, from villas to safari parks, roads are being built and plans to be built as a scenic spot. Diverse species environment. in order to be able to attract more tourists.

On the way, Tiger said to him, "We'll get the right volunteers here." ”

Meng Qian knew what he was referring to, their strong intelligence experiment. You have to upload data from a real person's head, but it can damage the human brain. Causes brain death.

From a humane point of view, they can only look for those who are executed. And at a certain cost - to pay them to their families, to donate to society, and so on.

"Good news." Meng Qian said that after so long, there was finally news.

"You're going to do a real experiment?" Juliana in the back seat leaned her head over, her wide light blue eyes full of countless intellectual desires.

"Not really." Meng Qian forgot that there was a very curious child in the back seat.

"I'm not a kid, you can't fool me." Juliana, like his father, read the meaning of his expression.

"Haha." Tiger smiled, then nodded: "A real human trial based on the principle of voluntariness, in this land, there are suitable goals. ”

"Can AI really reach the level of human intelligence?" She asked.

"Theoretically, yes." "David is a theorist on this, and we've been following his ideas, and it's working," Tiger said. ”

"David?" She looked over.

"I can't leak it." Meng Qian couldn't stand the girl's eyes, she pushed him: "We are good buddies, we have been celebrating for several years!" ”

"Friendship." Meng Qian corrected her Chinese pronunciation - it was really strange to hear this kind of Chinese from the mouth of the blonde girl with blue eyes.

"You could say she can keep it a secret." Tiger loosened.

"Look?" She got the permission.

"Okay, you can reveal some ......" Meng Qian told her a few main contents, trying to avoid some inhumane brain upload technology.

The conversation came to the safari park, the adoption center.

When I went in, I saw these children playing here, holding tigers and lions in their arms, and I was very happy...... They were accompanied by Amanda, who held a camera to take pictures of them.

"If you like children, why don't you consider starting a family?" Tiger stepped forward.

"You know it's not the same thing." Amanda's camera turned to them, "How did you feel about the last day at the African Zoo?" ”

"I've got sunburned." Juliana shows her arms.

"It's still so cute." Amanda reached for her cheek.

Meng Qian looked at the other children, and Lili, who was holding the little tiger, said, "Dad, let's raise a little tiger, right?" ”

"Why do you think like that?" Meng Qian asked her.

"It's so cute." Her reasons are simple.

"But when it grows up, it's not cute." Meng Qian said, hand comparison: "Raise such a guy, two meters long, eat dozens of catties of meat a day, you have to help it bathe." ”

"Then ......," she struggled, "can you not let it grow?" ”

"It's just like you, it'll grow up sooner or later." Meng Qian squatted down in front of her and touched the little tiger's head, it still wanted to bite him, it was funny.

Meng Qian was bitten on his finger by it, and the little tiger was playing so it didn't hurt: "And when it is disobedient, it will bite people, and it can swallow the little girl in one bite." ”

The children were scared, and Tiger said with a smile: "I have seen the acquired technology, and in the near future, people may be able to raise tigers like dogs." ”

"Biotechnology?" Juliana asked.

"Yes." He nodded, "Just like a mouse memory transplant, stimulated with microcurrent, it can change its habits the day after tomorrow, and at a higher level, induced genetic mutations can also instill different talents and change habits when the animal is still young." ”

"Like the sheep that thinks of itself as a sheepdog?" Juliana thought of the video on the Internet, where the sheep had lived with the shepherd dog for a long time and walked and jumped.

"That's right."

"Then we can raise tigers?" That's all Lili understood.

"Of course." Tiger is very patient with children, "It will be as endearing to people as a dog, and it will retain the speed and explosiveness of a tiger." ”

"I love this kind of future." Juliana was intrigued.

Their interest also made Meng Qian think deeply, similar to what Tiger said, this kind of technology is not without - I am afraid that there are already examples now, such as the brainwashing of the guinea pig, the test of instilling memory; More advanced mutations have acquired gene mutations that are more effective and stable.

You only need to change a piece of the tiger's genes the day after tomorrow, so that it has the idea of "loyal dog", isn't it harmless to the owner's family? He looked at the tigers and lions in the children's arms, customizable pets that would be very endearingβ€”even himself.

On the way back, he searched in his head.

First of all, there is this technology, and even through genetic means, different species can be synthesized, so that an animal can have the sense of smell of a hunting dog, the agility of a cheetah, and the strength of a tiger at the same time; The method of changing the acquired mutation is not difficult, and with the help of AI, he will save more effort.

Even this can be developed to humans, customized genes, allowing parents to choose their children's future hair color, face shape, height, etc., but humans are more complex than animals, and the means of implementation are more difficult. If you want to try it, you can start with animals.

He decided to make it a hobby and go back to research.

Back at the villa, it will be their last night, with a grand barbecue party and a local waiter who can sing and dance, and eat meat and drink to the sound of music...... At the end of their eight-day trip to Malagasy, the group returned to the United States and returned to civilization.

Because the children will soon be going to school, they have no plans to return to China, and Meng Qian is also busy - preparing gifts for children and even adults, and custom-made big cats will be very interesting; On the other hand, it is the final hurdle of the strong intelligence test -- success or failure in one fell swoop.

If they succeed, they will be decades ahead and monopolize the future. (To be continued.) )
