Chapter 200: How IQ is Made

"Both", as a scientific researcher, Dr. Tom's words are still so direct and unabashed: "I care a little more about the former...... Come, let's see how you are doing. ”

An Feng's classmate Eli Suren, as well as the black Henry and the Spaniard Mario, stepped forward to greet An Feng. A group of people greeted each other and hugged An Feng towards the inside of the laboratory.

Lying on the operating table in the laboratory, An Feng couldn't help asking: "Dr. Tom, why does the 'perfect gene' have degeneration?" Human beings are supposed to be constantly evolving, how can there be passivation? ”

"Genes are very mysterious", Dr. Tom replied while examining An Feng: "We are only unlocking some of its secrets now, and further decryption will probably take hundreds of years of research, of course, I said that hundreds of years have taken into account the factor of information explosion, and it took three million years for human beings to transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age." The transition from the Iron Age to the Industrial Age took a truly 5,000 years. The transition from the era of industrialization to the age of electrification is another hundreds of years of effort......

Do you remember the GMO incident? The migratory gene is very unstable, and since it can be transferred to plants, it can also be scattered in it and transferred to animals. The same is true for our Perfect Genomics. For you, this perfect gene is a foreign gene fragment after all, it is active, and it is impossible to be transplanted if it is not active, so we must keep observing it and keep stabilizing it.

Of course, science is constantly evolving, and technology is constantly being updated. Now Perfect Gene Technology is a start-up, with the advancement of technology, we will continue to update the means of control over it, now, we will implement the 'second generation, technology, you will immediately find its advantages......"

"Dr. Tom, please wait", An Feng stretched out his hand to stop the anesthetic injected into him, "I want to know, do all primitive' perfect humans have a sixth sense?" What is this sixth sense? Have you researched it? ”

Dr. Tom suddenly stopped his hand, thought about it, he waved his hand to stop the anesthesiologist's movements, walked to An Feng's side, looked into An Feng's eyes and asked, "What, you have also awakened your sixth sense?" What's your sixth sense? ”

"Why?"

"You know - Suzanne can eavesdrop over long distances. Do we think this belongs to the sixth sense? ”

"Oh......" An Feng paused and replied, "My sixth sense is...... Foreknowledge of danger. Thanks to this, I survived the battlefield. ”

Dr. Tom pondered for a moment, then decided to be completely honest: "Well, Iguazu, I was also a bystander to the night battle you had in the mountains of Fallujah...... One. At that time, you went straight to the lurkers in the dark and spotted every hidden enemy with great accuracy, and I suspect that you, like Susanna, have some kind of sixth sense, which is why this recall, and this medical examination.

As for what is the sixth sense you asked...... To be honest, I've been thinking about this lately. I have a little bit of an idea, for example, that genes are base pairs, and nerve conduction is electrical signals, so the human body may be a machine -- we may be a higher-order biological machine. This machine can receive a lot of signals and can make judgments autonomously, like a highly intelligent robot. It has more secrets, we just haven't discovered it yet - oh, this should be a new subject.

My guess is that the sixth sense may be another kind of human senses in addition to sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch...... Signal Transmission and Receiving. The original perfect human being, in addition to being able to receive five senses, was able to receive additional signals. Perhaps intuitive judgment is one of the signals, for example, there are many children who don't even know words, but can intuitively judge the answer to each question in the IQ test...... Oh Iguaçu, I remember you were a member of the Super Intelligence Club, right? ”

An Feng nodded, and Dr. Tom turned to Ellie Suren next to him: "Ellie, you're from the Prometheus Club, I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

The latter also nodded slightly. Dr. Tom continued, "Maybe you can still recall the exam...... Yes, most high-IQ clubs only admit young people under the age of 18, and only the Mensa Association recruits adults. Most clubs have four papers, a 16-year-old exam and an 18-year-old exam – the oldest being an eighteen-year-old exam. The most common are eight-year-old rolls, six-year-old rolls ......"

Dr. Tom smiled lightly, and there was no mockery or ...... in his smile A prophetic smile.

"At the age of six or eight, you can't even read all the words, you can't understand many questions, but you can pass the most rigorous IQ test, what does this mean? This means that you have an innate intuitive judgment, that you conclude that the result of things is not derived from the principle of things, because you didn't know the principle at that time, that you didn't learn it -- I think that's the sixth sense. This shows that a sixth sense exists. ”

An Feng looked at Dr. Tom curiously, and couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, did you have a sixth sense when you were a child?"

This sentence is actually asking: Doctor, were you smart when you were a child?

Dr. Tom skipped the topic: "As a child? …… Iguaçu, what do you think IQ is all about? Is it congenital or acquired? ”

An Feng thought for a while and replied: "I think the members recruited by the Mensa Club should be those with high IQ acquired after tomorrow, and the difficulty of the exam paper increases according to age, which also shows that IQ can be cultivated." ”

"That's right," Dr. Tom picked up, "the study of IQ has been going on since the beginning of the last century. The conclusion now is that highly intelligent people may be God's favorites and that they are God's favorites. Those who have an innate instinct, their mothers, in the first week of pregnancy, happen to be supplemented with a large amount of folic acid; In the second week, I was lucky enough to take a lecithin supplement, and in the third week......

In the first week of pregnancy, the mother doesn't actually have any external reactions, but the embryos are lucky enough to get the nutrients they deserve, and then, week after week, they develop, and the special nutrients they need are just replenished every week...... You say, how good their luck should be? ”

After a pause, Dr. Tom continued: "The study of IQ development eventually leads to a science, but the current various pregnancy guidance classes can only guide pregnant women to supplement various elements after five or six weeks of pregnancy. But it is said that the first and second weeks are the most important for brain development. ”

Dr. Tom took a deep breath and continued, "When the child is born, it's a matter of education. People believe that IQ can also be cultivated, and the awakening of self-awareness is the first step in the development of IQ.

Several of you students are highly intelligent people, and if you recall your experiences and feel your own growth, you will find that when others live like corpses and do not feel the presence of the self, you already have a memory, and you have the meaning of "self" -- this is the purpose of education.

Current research suggests that it is not a human being who has two legs, can speak, read and write. The first five years of human life are post-developmental, stage, at this time, although he can speak human words and perform some humanoid movements, he cannot be regarded as a well-developed person, because he has no memory of what he does, no binding force on his actions, and no sense of self-existence.

When a human being begins to become self-aware, we can say that he is a complete human being. Only a complete human being has the intelligence to be able to make judgments. And high-IQ people should be people who awaken to their self-consciousness relatively early, and when others begin to learn the principles of things, and are ready to use the principles to deduce the results of things, they have already begun to strengthen their intuition.

Oh, maybe the great mathematician Gauss was such a person. It is often said that Gauss is a fox, and when he derives mathematical formulas, he likes to wipe his footprints clean and write the answer directly. And this answer often makes people think for centuries before it suddenly understands...... Oh, I see

For those who have a high IQ, when something happens, he gets the answer relatively quickly. And it's not a derivation process, because the fastest computer can't do it, and he's already got the answer. ”

Dr. Tom paused for a moment and said firmly, "This is the sixth sense—the intuitive judgment of things." As for how it works, we still don't know why some people lose their sixth sense in adulthood, while others are strengthened or even deformed. Oh, maybe we can make it the next subject...... What do you think? ”

"This ......" An Feng shook his head: "You still give me an injection, right?" Makes me dizzy for a while. This stuff is so esoteric that I think we ...... Don't waste your energy. ”

Sixth sense? The sense of transcendence is also a sixth sense...... One? If you count it this way, maybe Suzanne's remote hearing is also a kind of sixth sense.

How can this sixth sense evolve and be further strengthened...... Whatever, An Feng doesn't want to discuss this topic now.

Because he didn't want to be a test subject anymore.

Since Dr. Tom had no answer here, An Feng completely gave up the topic.

The numbness "drunk" agent was slowly injected into the body, and An Feng completely fainted. But he was relieved when he fainted. The laboratory does things according to rules, as long as he doesn't let go of his words, even if he is in a state of numbness, no one dares to use him as an experiment.

The adjustment took two weeks in total, and two weeks later, An Feng was driving his car back to New York, where Dr. Tom made a final effort before leaving.

"Iguaçu, you're not changing your mind? You know, it's going to be a great study, and if we unearth a little bit of secrets, humanity ......"

"No, no, Dr. Tom, I don't care what the future holds for humanity, I only care about how to change myself. I think this study ...... I won't make much progress in my lifetime because the sixth sense thing is so hard to catch. And I, I'm happy with the current situation, so ...... That's it, right? ”

Dr. Tom nodded gloomily and waved his hand, "Okay, maybe it's time for me to take a break, I should be satisfied with the perfection of the 'perfect gene' in this life." Well, see you later, and don't forget our agreement. ”

With An Feng's perfect display of the experimental subject, Dr. Tom's "perfect gene" research can finally be brought out to meet people. According to the U.S. Pharmaceutical Administration Act, a new drug needs to go through seven years of human trials before it can be officially announced and marketed. Therefore, for the next seven years, An Feng needs to write his own physical examination report and undergo continuous testing as a participant in the experimental project......

However, this is the age of the Internet, where people don't have to go to the office to work. So, An Feng and Dr. Tom agreed that he would go back to New York, back to the medical research laboratory of Columbia University, and work while studying. Dr. Tom will soon lead the rest of the students out of Atlantictown. Now that the results of his research are out, he needs to look for "contributors".

The "contributors" of scientific research are actually scientists...... This is an unspoken rule in the scientific community, whenever scientists produce research results, they will look for some funders to quickly discount their scientific results, and those who contribute money are the so-called "contributors". The scientific community tacitly assumes that they are "contributors" to the results of the research.

Of course, "contributors" do not mean that funders give up 1% of total research funding. No matter how much money a scientist asks others to pay, this is the default welfare of scientific researchers, and perhaps this "contributing" scientist sells 200 copies, and everyone who buys it can claim to the outside world that he has made a "contribution" to this new achievement.

But...... Statistically, "" is negligible, 95% is certain. Therefore, they can use this "contribution" to declare their professional titles or something, and to show off as their honor for life, while their names will not be recorded in scientific yearbooks. A kind-hearted scientist will at most note that 200 people have made "contributions". All the scientists who saw this note smiled knowingly...... You know

On the way home, An Feng was on the phone while driving, and he first looked for his acquaintance: "Hi, Eunice, do you have any acquaintances in the pharmaceutical industry?" …… What the? Oh, I don't sell drugs, I sell 'contributions, there's a new research result that's about to be announced, it's about genetic research, it doesn't matter, even if it's sweeping the door in the pharmaceutical world, as long as he has money, I'll sell him 'contributions,'.

What the? …… Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what are school workers afraid of? 'Xia Zhou Shang Dynasty Engineering Research, Do You Know? Isn't that the result of school work? Or translate the old articles of two foreigners, people are not afraid of being scolded overseas, and those who should win the national award are still taken, what are you afraid of? Do you have any acquaintances who want to be academic overlords and introduce hundreds of them. One person has little money, hundreds of people, temporarily set up a team, everyone put together the money, buy a 'contribution, everyone is rated as a high professional title, how good? ”

Of course, there is also a commission for selling "contributing" An Feng, although he has a lot of money now, but flies are also meat.

The way back took An Feng two days, and of course, he didn't drive fast. Slowly returning home, by the time he entered New York, Dr. Tom had already contacted the school, and he would be a visiting professor at Columbia, and his graduate students would continue to be his students. Among the research results, the projects that can be announced to the public will be announced in the name of Columbia, and the part that cannot be published will be taken away by the military......

At the intersection of the Interstate Highway in New York, An Feng hesitated, turned the wheel and drove to his villa in New Jersey County. Today is the weekend, and the Super Wisdom Club will hold a party, An Feng has not attended a similar party for a long time, and this time he has to show his face in front of everyone when he comes back from the battlefield.

The party is held in a private club, and the game played is "Escape Room". All those who are invited to participate in the game receive a password sent via SMS beforehand. Simply say the code to the janitor, and you will be given a mask, as well as a cloak, and will be invited into the manor......

The trees in the manor are very dense, which also makes the manor lush and at the same time a bit eerie. An Feng drove slowly along the manor path, and when he saw the room, he picked up the mask from the back seat and put it on, and then put on his cloak...... This costume may be funny, but since you participate in the game, you have to follow the rules of the game.

There are a lot of cars parked in front of the manor villa, and the cars are not of low grade. When An Feng parked, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Xiyue's second-hand BMW, he jumped out of the car and walked around the car a few times, and sure enough, the license plate number was Wu Xiyue's.

The game is a bit boring, this kind of game is not the purpose for the participants, everyone can come to the party, the important thing is to participate in the dinner party later.

When sitting at the game table, Wu Xiyue and An Feng had already recognized each other, but neither of them said hello. When the game was over, everyone left the party hall and went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and then when they returned to the hall, the banquet had already been set up in the hall and the party had begun.

American dinners are relatively simple, and strictly speaking, there is only one dish for this type of club dinner: hamburgers. There are more than 40 kinds of burgers in total, and there are also seven or eight kinds of red wine and champagne, plus 60 or 70 kinds of cold drinks. Then everyone had a drink and talked to each other.

Wu Xiyue took the initiative to chat with An Feng, of course, she didn't mention the "contribution" again, in her opinion, this is a bit of a suspicion of fraud, besides, she didn't go to much school in China, and she didn't know many teachers, and in the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, people don't evaluate professional titles, and whether the professor has status or not doesn't look at this, but look at academic achievements. That is, looking at An Feng's face, she asked her family a few words at random, and An Feng didn't urge her to mention it.

"I looked for a few headhunting companies, and they recommended a few professional managers to me, and I screened them, do you want to take a look?" Wu Xiyue shook the cup and said, after a pause, she asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly come to this party?" I remember that you have always been a tireless otaku who carries books and does not like to go out. ”

"Hehe, I wonder too, why did you come to this party?"

Wu Xiyue pointed to one of the participants: "That, the headhunter recommended that person......

Seventeen people attended the gathering, and all but the club owner were middle managers from all walks of life. Wu Xiyue refers to a woman in her thirties, who looks very ordinary, as simple as a housewife, and looks a little silly, with her mouth open stupidly, listening to the words of the people next to her.

An Feng tried to remember the woman's performance just now—everyone was wearing masks and cloaks just now, and he really couldn't recall the woman's ...... just now. Wisdom. But there was an indescribable smell about this woman. This taste...... That's right, like an intelligence officer.
