Chapter 97: The Confederate States of America
Three hours ago, in a huge palace made of the finest white marble on earth, Maximus sat on the throne that once belonged to his brother Black Bolt and summoned all the Inhumans.
In the brightly lit hall, all sorts of strangers came to the palace to meet their king.
Inhumans have advanced technology compared to Earth, and through the Tyregen Crystal Mist, they have awakened from their once modified genes to gain a variety of superpowers. But at the same time, this artificially modified superhuman race also causes all kinds of genetic damage and deformities like their reference objects, mutants.
They developed ethnography – the study that is absolutely forbidden in the social environment of the planet.
Ethnography is to carry out genetic optimization and selection of human beings by artificial intervention, in short, it is to select traits and cultivate human races through artificial intervention, just like human breeding crops and pet breeds on the earth.
When Chen Ang observed many world lines, he once put forward a hypothesis - if a slave civilization continued to develop, then with the progress of science and the development of society, what kind of special social manifestations would appear? He observed a world in which slavery continued to advance after the South's victory in the American Civil War.
In that world, with the development of science and technology, the Americans did not eliminate slavery, but developed it more scientifically.
That is ethnography, also known as the selection and cultivation of humanoid species.
Modern breeding and breeding technology, the use of pets, has bred a wide variety of deliberate species, taking dogs as an example - border collies, corgis, German Shepherds, Teddy, Golden Retrievers, huskies and other pet dogs and working dogs.
The methods used are generally anti-ethical and anti-moral measures such as ancestry records, inbreeding, and trait selection.
But dog owners who are addicted to the special traits of pet dogs never care about these, they have never thought about how a pet dog with a mutated excellent trait can inherit this trait, and even reach a stable level, nor can they imagine why most modern purebred pets have genetic diseases.
Because pet trait breeding will almost 100% use anti-ethical means, screening puppies in the same litter with obvious traits, breeding with each other, a large population of new breeds of pet dogs can almost be traced back to such a pet dog or two pet dogs, breeders will let them reproduce at a frequency that seriously harms the body.
In this way, the population can be expanded in a short period of time - a large number of unqualified puppies are destroyed, and a large number of qualified dogs breed at a high frequency in adulthood, and this reproduction can seriously damage health.
This is the history of modern pets, and almost all new breeds of dogs have been bred in Western countries.
But those Europeans and Americans who treat dogs as family members have never protested the origin of their cute dogs, the purity of blood, but the anti-ethical 'bloodlines'.
And these means, from pets to slaves, only need to break through a little bit of the bottom line.
The Southern farmers of the Confederate States of America soon learned to manually select their black slaves, and they first bred a race of people with low IQs, but docile and honest masters - it seems inconceivable, all human rights experts, public intellectuals claim that man's free will is unshakable, that freedom is great and sacred, that all men are created equal and free, and that there is no difference in IQ between everyone.
But in the field of pet dogs, the IQ of Golden Retriever and Teddy is very different, and there are also breed differences between relatives and irritable and aggressive. No one would think that the aggressiveness of the Golden Retriever and Dugan, the Tibetan Mastiff is the same.
People don't dare to mention the difference in IQ between races, but every professional dog trainer will talk with great interest about how high the IQ of the border collie is, and how brainless the Tibetan mastiff is.
That's science – it's universal, it's reproducibly verifiable, and sometimes it's even anti-human.
Dogs can breed quite a bit of a trait difference – why can't people? Known as Africa's "pocket people", the Pygmies are 1.30-1.40 meters tall in adults, they are physically strong, and live in the Idoli region of northeastern Zaire in central Africa, with an average IQ of 54, which is only equivalent to a slightly smarter cetacean.
The age at which the Pygmies are physically mature is eight years old!
This is a special breed of natural selection - and the Confederate States of America only need to introduce artificial selection and optimization, and soon the population of black working slaves will be cultivated! They are honest and obedient, have low IQs, and have a single and stable trait - Americans can basically not worry about the slaves rebelling, and they don't have to worry that one of them will stand up and chant aloud - I have a dream!
Then there is the differentiation of the working races - some farm work requires a slightly higher IQ, then breed slaves with a higher IQ, and the slaves do not need to live long, and when they are no longer able to work, they have to be disposed of - but there is a cost to deal with. The farmers would not slaughter the slaves themselves, they would give a sum of money to the Union government, and then the old slaves would be taken away and they would disappear.
But it costs money to deal with it in this way, so there is a demand for working people who do not have old age.
Race selection selects those who are old enough to work and reproduce, about forty years old, and then die of natural causes—the farmer hopes that the slave will work sooner, and then the time of adulthood will be shortened. In the end, a human race was bred to reach adulthood at about 15 years old, and to die naturally at the age of about 45 in middle age.
Slaves had different work needs, and those who went into the factories to do repetitive work, farm work, and weaving would breed different races. Just like dogs, in an increasingly developed society, the needs of dogs for work assistance are gradually being replaced by the needs of pets.
And the farmer also has a need for entertainment and companionship - there are a lot of black mulattoes in Washington.
At this time, the breeding of human race has a new development direction - pet human race!
So they created the Race Breeding Factory, selected beautiful and docile human races, and produced all kinds of slaves for different purposes, and the development of slavery at one time even threatened the reproduction and family of Americans, so that the Union government had to legislate to force teenagers to have at least two children before the age of twenty-five.
In the new era, after the rapid development of genetic science, that world line became more and more playful, until Chen Ang couldn't see it anymore, and a meteorite came to the Confederate States of America, completely destroying that world line.
In the Human Revolutionary Union, human breeding is one of the few scientific disciplines that has not developed at all, and the Human Revolutionary Federation has developed to the point where it is qualified to say that human beings are all equal, even if there are differences in innate qualifications, but in the Human Revolutionary Federation or further republics, innate qualifications can no longer hinder the development of human beings, and in this civilization, the equality of opportunity has covered the inequality of innate qualifications.
If people are equal in morality and personality, then they are absolutely equal.
Human beings are not born equal and free, and they are not given natural rights by God – at least Chen Ang never thought about this.
Rather, it is the equality and freedom that are achieved in the constant struggle of mankind and through the moral standards established by the common emotions of mankind, and morality is one of the greatest parts of civilization, and this is where the ultimate humane value of human morality is represented in the two major ideological systems established by the Republic.
