Chapter 149: The Final Choice
This day is also a very important day.
More and more high-ranking government officials, senators, experts, and even some representatives of the people gathered in the central conference hall of the new government building. One by one, their faces were solemn, and they hurriedly sat down in their places.
Such a large conference...... It's been a long time since it's been opened.
The new human civilization is faced with a huge choice.
They were discussing a big thing about themselves, their future, their race......
That is ...... "Transhuman Execution Plan for All"!
"Isn't it supposed to be for everyone? Transform all ordinary people into superhumans? That's what we're going to talk about today. Yu Yifeng stood on the stage and said with a serious face.
"Do it now, or put it on hold?!"
Over the years, humans have increased the success rate of perfection conversion to more than 99.99%.
However, there is still no progress in the study of it, and people are completely unaware of the mechanism of action of perfectionin and the method of genetic selection.
However, after nearly 100 years of development, the current population is close to 6 million under the policy of encouraging childbearing, and this work must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
"Before making a decision, I would like to hear everyone's opinions...... Please try your best to think about this issue objectively and impartially, from the perspective of civilization as a whole. ”
"Is it harmful or beneficial for our entire race to use perfection and transform ordinary people into superhumans?"
In order to avoid aging and death to older members of society, especially the group of excellent scientists, Perfection has been used, and there are currently more than 300,000 superhumans.
However, during this period of time, it was a small number of superhumans who made scientific contributions far higher than the rest of the more than five million ordinary people......
Faced with this fact, Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh, not knowing how to describe the feeling in his heart.
"Okay, let's look at the capacity gap between the two groups. I believe that these things have been carefully studied. ”
He just laid out a series of information on the screen, which is the ability gap between ordinary people and superhumans, including intelligence, physical exercise ability, immunity, and so on...... Almost all-round. Especially in terms of growth, superhumans are far stronger than ordinary people.
The most cutting-edge science can only be barely understood by the most gifted ordinary people, but after the superhuman is systematically studied, it can be easily understood.
This is a fact that has been drawn from long-term practice.
The current superhumans are only a minority, so they can still get along with ordinary people very harmoniously.
However, the level of ability is obvious, and Yu Yifeng is worried that if it continues like this for a long time, there may be something wrong.
"So...... From this point of view, there seems to be no way for us to refuse to use Perfection Element? What do you think? With that, he sat down quietly.
The thousands of elites below all had a heated discussion, most of them were ordinary representatives, and the indicator light asking to speak was constantly on.
After a while, after the discussion was a little quieter, Yu Yifeng called by name: "Seat 133, please speak." ”
Standing up was a middle-aged man, his voice was loud and sonorous, and he said: "From an individual point of view, the ability of superhumans is indeed far higher than that of ordinary people, so why should we deprive them of the right to pursue smarter and healthier?" So I totally agree with this scheme! ”
"There is no doubt that nearly six million superhumans can greatly accelerate the speed of the development of science and technology in the entire civilization, which is very beneficial to our new human civilization. Transformed into a superhuman, we will achieve universal genius, with a great deal of potential to be exploited, and it would not be too much ...... to say that we have passed the intellectual barrier."
There was a buzz in the hall, the most intuitive and universal idea.
Yu Yifeng also nodded.
Being smart and healthy is indeed a temptation that many ordinary people find difficult to refuse......
Moreover, according to the experimental situation of so many years, superhumans are almost the same as ordinary people, and their thinking forms and living habits are almost the same, and there is nothing wrong with them.
That is, for now, Perfection is safe, and future generations are safe and able to thrive.
"Seat 249, you have the floor." Yu Yifeng did not immediately draw a conclusion and continued.
It was an old ordinary man who moved slowly and said in a low voice, "I don't agree with this plan at the moment!" It is difficult for us to judge what will happen after using Perfectin for generations to come. ”
“…… Be cautious, be cautious! I suggest that it is better to find an interstellar civilization and ask for clarification, but then use ......"
"And after the overall change, the birth rate has dropped dramatically to 1 in 10,000. Our population will remain at the current level for a long time, and the accumulation of experience will be difficult to accelerate without a large number of ordinary people. This is also a drawback. ”
"And, with a low birth rate, we can't afford to die on a large scale. If there is an emergency and a large number of people die, how long will it take for us to recover? A low birth rate brings with it a greater risk of extinction! ”
Throughout the animal world, how many powerful creatures have gone extinct because of the low birth rate?
This kind of worry is very normal, and it is also the last resistance of ordinary human beings.
It is true that the vision of a nation cannot focus on itself and the generations in front of it.
The birth rate is extremely low, and the current technology cannot solve it. After using perfection, imperfect fertilized eggs are not able to develop, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
There are hundreds of millions of sperm a day in men, and there is no problem, but women only have one egg a month, and the same is true for superhumans.
If you want a woman to ovulate more, you can only keep taking certain hormone drugs, which is very harmful to the body. It's okay to use it once or twice in an emergency, but it's not realistic to take medicine for years.
"No. 711, please speak."
The young man stood up and retorted: "I think this is the best point in time. We cannot afford to delay our decision-making indefinitely. ”
"Perfection is so important that the current population is the right size to be distributed to everyone. If the population is large, perfection will not be enough! In our society, there should not be the problem of unfair distribution, who will use it then? Who doesn't? This is a huge problem, so there is no room for delay. ”
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Yu Yifeng heard a few shouts, and his heart sank, this is also true.
If the population is too large in the future and the perfection element is used up, the superhuman and the ordinary will definitely be separated, and even become two different classes, which is also a phenomenon that people do not want to see.
If there is any kind of class privilege, wouldn't it be ...... It's the same as the time of the Earth?
"Seat 42, you have the floor." He was silent for a moment, then called again.
It was a middle-aged lady who said lightly: "This kind of worry that the number of people is too large and not enough to distribute is indeed very important...... But we can control the population through family planning and even freezing in hibernation silos. Then he immediately got up to look for the interstellar civilization and asked about the true role of the perfect element. ”
"But then again, when will we meet an interstellar civilization that truly knows the truth and is willing to tell us?"
Her tone began to increase and the speed of her voice increased: "What's more, how can we be sure that what they tell us is true or false? Please think carefully about this question: Will we trust each other? ”
Hearing this lady's speech, Yu Yifeng's heart moved again.
Yes, it does!
If you get tangled up in the horns of all kinds of conspiracy theories, it's endless. Just find an interstellar civilization, their answers, and humanity will believe it?
If the other party says it's good, it's good, and if the other party says it's bad, it's not good?!
Impossible.
Humans still have to rely on themselves to make judgments.
