Next, in the midst of this uproar, another biologist, Professor Wei Jiahui, submitted his own bill, the Human Genetic Modification Act!

There is no way for human technology to develop upward, and there are many factors, not just the legendary "great desert" conjecture. In fact, there is an even bigger reason: human ...... It's stupid!

The intelligence of ordinary people, learning a little calculus has reached the upper limit. Let them learn more difficult things, and they are already starting to be unable to do it. But calculus is just an ordinary tool for exploring nature, and it is not much different from 1+1 in the eyes of scientists.

Limited to intellectual factors, human memory is limited and what can be learned is quite limited.

Modern disciplines have become extremely specialized, and even a genius like Zhang Yuan has no way to suddenly engage in biological research from the aspect of space machinery.

But a few top geniuses alone are no longer enough to promote the development of the whole civilization.

"Therefore, through gene editing, we can comprehensively improve the intelligence level of the next generation of human beings and cultivate more and more geniuses!"

"If it can cooperate with the social public care system, it is undoubtedly a great initiative!"

"Can you imagine the world of mass production genius?"

This proposal......

Zhang Yuan frowned, he didn't know what to say. Maybe it's because this meeting has accepted too many things, and it's a little numb.

After a while, someone stood up and questioned, "But, Mr. Wei, how should this be done?" It's true that everyone wants higher intelligence...... But ......"

"Is it necessary to conduct human trials again and again? As a Ph.D. in biology, I have the right to refuse such cruel and inhumane biological experiments. ”

The people at the bottom no longer want to discuss what "social support" is, and gene editing has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of science.

What should I do if there is a mistake in gene editing and some variations are generated?

Destroy the whole person?

One biologist raised his hand to speak: "Professor Wei, we don't know the whole story about genes. There are thousands of genes related to intelligence, and if each gene has 2 equivalent genes, the number of the entire combination is 2 to the 1,000th power! ”

"This number is countless times more than the atoms of the entire universe!"

"How do you decipher the best combination of intelligence? Even the fastest computers can't do this kind of task. ”

This is an almost unsolvable problem, even if the genetic data of all human beings are analyzed, compared to the thousandth power of 2, it is only a drop in the ocean.

What's more, there are more than 2 types of a gene, for example, blood group genes, in addition to ABO blood type, human blood types have various other blood types, such as Rh, MN and Xg.

Is there a relationship between blood type and intelligence?

Of course it is! Even if there is no direct connection, there is a certain indirect relationship.

In addition, people have 46 pairs of chromosomes, and the genes are also one-to-one pairs. So, the genetic combination about intelligence will only be much larger than 2 to the thousandth power!

But then, something unexpected happened, Professor Wei was silent for a while, and sent a document to the big screen: "Please don't worry about this, we have found several relatively good gene combinations. ”

Wow!

It's just breaking news!

There was another commotion in the hall.

Zhang Yuan looked at the various materials on the screen, and the speed of his heartbeat increased rapidly, as if it was ...... It has something to do with his own suddenly elevated intelligence.

Human beings' pursuit of intelligence has existed since ancient times, and social leap through intelligence is called the most "stable" and "convincing" way of social transition.

Especially in that gray era of lack of energy, when oil was exhausted, nuclear fusion flames were delayed, and a huge existential crisis led to the occurrence of two world wars!

People crave ...... The emergence of scientific giants.

In that context, the human genetic modification project finally broke the traditional taboo and happened in private.

The first genetic engineering, called the "HIA Genome" sequence, was developed by investigating inbreeding populations — the probability of intellectual retardation and genius increased.

There is a small probability of giving birth to a genius, and a high probability of giving birth to a group of idiots with low IQ.

It is also difficult for scientists to explain why this is the case, the genetic code has not yet been deciphered, and anything can happen.

All in all, the "HIA genome" sequence will make human intelligence develop towards extremes.

The second genome is called the "BIA genome".

By surveying high-IQ people, a combination of genes was found.

However, because the genes of high-IQ people are too complex, they cannot find a particularly convergent combination. Therefore, this genome sequence is very, very numerous, and it does not work from time to time.

Overall, children born using the "BIA genome" will have an increase in intelligence of about 6%-10% compared to the average. The security is relatively high, and there is generally no mental retardation.

If it can really be used on a large scale, an increase of 6%-10% is already a remarkable number!

The third genetic project is called the "Anti-Eye" project.

This plan attempts to straighten the inverted retina of human beings to directly liberate the brain's computing power.

The main reason why the human eye is not perfect is that the retina has a large number of defects.

The human retina is attached upside down, and the retina and the wall of the eye are only loosely touched by the top of the photoreceptor cells and the pigment cell layer, so it is very easy to detach.

Objects are imaged on the retina, just like small holes, upside down, and it is only because of the brain processing that humans feel that the world is positive.

This garbage-like retinal structure not only makes the eyes very fragile, but also occupies a lot of computing power in the brain when restoring visual images.

At the beginning, crazy scientists had a guess that if some octopus eye genes were borrowed and the human retina was "aligned", all the problems would be solved. Perhaps, by liberating this part of the brain's computing power, human beings can become more intelligent.

Of course, for the study of genes, human beings at that time were still in a very naïve stage, and any genetic changes would bring about a series of chain reactions.

Three plans, there are successes and failures.

"HIA Genome" has brought great results!

The birth of a scientific giant directly promoted the entire era.

The "BIA genome" is only useful if there are more people. Even during the war years, the relevant departments did not dare to clone people on a large scale.

But the "anti-eye" program didn't work out, and unfortunately, the brain had no way to recognize the biological signals from the new eye. These poor "experiments" went blind and spent their entire lives in darkness......

It is difficult to describe what happened at that time, but it can be vaguely imagined.

Zhang Yuan's heart was directly flooded with turbulent waves!

Cold sweat broke out little by little behind his back, soaking through his entire clothes......

This kind of thing, which even he can't accept, has happened in history......

Even, it is possible that he has the blood of the "HIA genome" flowing in his body!

It's simply unimaginable.

Sighed deeply.

Humans have never been a virtuous species, never have been.

What is it when an existential crisis is truly born?
