Chapter 267: Authority
"The identity of the old humans, to be exact."
The AI monitoring center obviously didn't have eyes, but Chen Shi could feel that it was staring at him.
"The identity of the old human?" Chen Shihu said suspiciously.
"By the year 2415, there were 37.9 billion people with legal citizenship in humans, of which only 1,371 were old humans."
"Wait, 1371? So little? No, I don't understand, as far as I know, the new humans surpass the old humans in terms of physical strength, intelligence, and resilience, so why do the old humans still exist? Shouldn't they all be new humans? β
If there are any hidden dangers in the new human race, which causes some people in the human race to worry about not choosing the new human race, then a race with a population of 37.9 billion people, with only 1371 old human beings, is enough to prove that there is no hidden danger in the new human race.
So why do some choose the path of the old humans?
"The reason is not complicated, the reason why there are still some old humans is because of the birth principle of new humans."
"What do you mean?"
"The new human comes from the genetic adjustment of the fertilized egg, and before the birth of the first generation of new humans, in order to achieve the best degree of the new human being, the genetic adjustment of the new human was prepared for 15 years. Although this makes the new humans perfect from the beginning, the genetic similarity between the new humans and the old humans is only 94%, which is larger than the genetic gap between the old humans and the orangutans. β
"Such an ethical issue ......" Chen Shi can imagine the fierce public opinion in the society at that time.
"And what about later?"
"There is controversy, but it is undeniable that the new human beings are far superior to the old humans in terms of intelligence, physical strength, and immunity, but they have almost no defects, which makes human society inclined to this way of evolution. In addition to being better than the old humans in intelligence and physical strength, the new humans are better in appearance than the old humans, and the difference from the old humans is only at the inconsequential genetic level, and the choice of human beings is actually obvious. β
Chen Shi is relatively easy to accept, in the 21st century, after human technology has progressed, he did not hesitate to carry out prenatal examinations for pregnant women. From pregnancy to childbirth, a pregnant woman generally has to undergo more than a dozen prenatal examinations, such as NT examination, Tang screening, four-dimensional color ultrasound, if the fetal malformation or genetic disease is detected, then it is necessary to have a timely miscarriage.
One of these is the process of screening healthy genes, which is of great significance for the genetic stability of the human race.
So if the next generation can be stronger and smarter, without sequelae, how will parents choose? This is actually the same as the meaning of prenatal checkups.
"So, in the end, it's basically all new humans?"
"Yes, but there are still some people who have insisted that they have not chosen to genetically tune the next generation, they insist on nativism, and by 2495, there are only 1371 people left in this group, and they are the old humans."
"That's not right, is it?"
Chen Shi frowned and said, "With so few old humans, not to mention that their intelligence and physical strength have been crushed by new humans, can their authority be higher than that of new humans?" This doesn't make sense. β
"No, the old and the new human beings are in the same place in human beings, and there is no distinction between the superior and the inferior...... But in reality, the identity of the old human is more likely to be favored and tolerated by the government, which you can understand as a protective measure for minorities. But that's not why I'm looking for you. β
"The number of old humans is so small, but most of them are in the management of Andres Technologies, and Andres Technologies is one of the seven major companies that undertook the construction and planning of the 'Xindi-36' colonial area, and unfortunately, the CEO and management of Andres Technologies have always been old humans, so they will allocate the level of public authority based on genetic identification," said the AI monitoring center. β
"How high is the level of public authority?" Chen Shi didn't immediately understand.
"That is, non-private, non-top-secret, non-critical public permissions, which do not require a second private identity verification."
Chen Shi understood this, just like a hotel to identify the visitor, if it is a human, then it is allowed to enter, not a human but an animal is not allowed to enter, this is the simplest public permission, and if you want to enter the room, you must verify your private identity.
According to the AI monitoring center, that is, above the public authority, within the scope of the main body built by Andres Technology, the old human will be identified as the company's senior management, and the high-level authority will be recognized by default. But if it reaches the level of top secret, then both old humans and new humans will have to be authenticated, and no old human will be able to pass.
"Based on the protection of old humans by the Super Cooperation Organization, old humans are generally not allowed to go to 'Xindi-36', and the old humans who can come to the 'Xindi-36' colonial area must be the senior management of Andres Technology." The AI monitoring center said.
Chen Shi realized: "So in the public authority...... In the common area, am I defaulted to top management? Huh, isn't that right? β
Chen Shi suddenly wondered: "Since it's only public authority, can I help you operate this antimatter hydrogen?" How can this also be further confirmed? β
It stands to reason that the scope of public authority is certainly not high. Something like an antimatter hydrogen reactor should be top-secret technology. No matter how widespread antimatter technology is in the future, it will not be possible for people to have access to it at will, just as ordinary bomb technology in the 21st century is commonplace, and the government will not allow ordinary people to have bombs.
"Yes, you are an old human, but you don't have the authority to detonate antimatter hydrogen."
Chen Shi's eyes widened when he heard this, "Since you know, then why ......?"
"Because I don't need your permission to detonate it, I'm the AI surveillance center, and the Supreme Council of the Super Cooperation Organization itself has given me environment-based monitoring, and I have the authority to detonate it, and what I need you to do is install it on that egg."
As soon as he said this, Chen Shi remembered, it seems that at the beginning, the AI monitoring center said that he would help install antimatter hydrogen to detonate on the egg, and he misunderstood the permission to detonate.
"Do you need me to install it? What's the matter...... It has to be an old human to do it? β
Chen Shi's expression was ominous.
"It's not easy to install antimatter hydrogen on that egg, at least not for the Shockers, and the managers of AndrΓ©s Technologies, the old humans, have unconditional access to some of the company's tools...... For example, the gamma suit you wear. β
"I need you to use this part of the tool to attach antimatter hydrogen to that egg to ensure that it can be completely destroyed...... However, it may not be so troublesome, your old human identity can use the gamma engineering suit to solve some of the physical problems, and your right hand can replace some tools. β
