It's September.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Cui Weichuan came back from adult night school, dragged his tired body, and returned to his cramped home.

The engineering company he worked for was unsurprisingly disbanded after completing the last project, but fortunately, most of the personnel were resettled, and middle-level leaders like him were even better arranged.

He was assigned to a daily necessities company as a production workshop director.

The salary is less than that of an engineering company, but it is better than stability, and I no longer have to work as before, and I am unemployed most of the time.

However, after less than half a month of work, he keenly found that this is a government welfare factory in order to reduce the unemployment rate, and what can be solved here with both hands is never to use machines, a large factory of more than 1,000 people, but there are not even 50 machine tools, and even these 50 machine tools, less than half of them are started.

After only working for a while, a sense of emptiness arose and made him feel like he was wasting his time.

He doesn't see any hope here, maybe through hard work and qualifications, he will gradually move to the top, but even if he becomes a factory director, a welfare factory that produces every day according to the plan without any technical content is simply insignificant in today's social system.

As far as he knows, even if he is the director of the factory, the per capita housing area of his family is the same as his.

He once secretly visited those advanced factories in his free time, and watched the scene of engineers arguing fiercely over a certain design in an empty, fully automated, high-tech factory, and he couldn't help but envy it.

He is still young, his passion has not dissipated, he is not willing to live his life like this, and he does not want to live in a cramped space of nine square meters per capita, living at the bottom of the society, whether it is for his family or for himself, he has to fight hard.

……

"Night school is back? I'll make you some supper. His wife was mopping the floor, and when she saw him coming back, she couldn't help but stop and say.

"No, why haven't you slept yet?" Cui Weichuan put down the document bag containing the textbooks he carried, hugged his virtuous and beautiful wife, and kissed him heavily on the face.

This is his second wife, who met at a blind date organized by the unit, and has been married for less than a year, which is the time for honey to blend oil.

"Don't make a fuss, Ning Ning hasn't slept yet!"

"Haven't you done your homework yet?" Hearing his daughter, Cui Weichuan hurriedly let go of his hand.

"Listening to others about this year's new textbook, the difficulty has increased again, and I am afraid that she will have some difficulty." The wife nodded, a little worried in her heart,

Cui Weichuan knows more about this, and now the school textbooks are changing every year, and the thickness of the textbooks is getting thicker and thicker year by year.

However, now even the content of the three years of junior high school has been added, which is still the most relaxed, and it is said that junior high school has already involved part of the content of the original university.

Human knowledge is expanding at a rate of exponential multiples every year, and the original progress of education is far from satisfying today's society.

In fact, don't talk about those unlucky students, even he, a former college student, now goes to night school, he also feels a little difficult, if it weren't for the miniature brain assistance worn on the eyeballs, which greatly omitted the link of calculation and analysis, I am afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the high-density knowledge indoctrination at all.

Unfortunately, for students, they will only be allowed to purchase and certify when they reach high school, and his daughter is only in elementary school, which is the time to lay the foundation.

"Why don't you enroll her in cram school!" Cui Weichuan thought for a while and said.

"It's okay, ask her opinion when the time comes!" The wife said. Although this daughter is not her biological daughter, since it is already a family, she still treats her as her biological daughter, but fortunately, her daughter is very obedient and sensible, and she does not reject her because she is a stepmother.

Speaking of which, this daughter is also pitiful, she has no mother since she was a child, followed her father all the way, ran around in the last days, and even almost died in the earthquake, and suffered a lot, which is probably why she became sensible.

After a while, Cui Weichuan knocked on the door of his daughter's bedroom: "Have you finished your homework?" ”

"There will be a while, leave me alone."

"Then you pay attention to the time and go to bed early." Cui Weichuan said, feeling a little distressed, such a young child, the schoolwork is so heavy, I think I just remember to play back then.

……

He helped his wife mop the floor and returned to the bedroom, where the two slept on the bed and talked quietly.

"What do you think we should have another child?" Then the wife said.

"I still don't want it, I heard that the success rate of IVF is not high, and if it fails again, it hurts the body!" Cui Weichuan sighed and said, it was not that they had never done IVF before, but unfortunately they failed in the end, and after the embryo grew to three months, there was a miscarriage.

"This time it's different, it's a new technology, the success rate is almost 100%, haven't you read the newspaper or the news recently?" The wife said.

Cui Weichuan went to work during the day and night school at night, he was so busy that he had time to read newspapers and news, he suddenly sighed: "Now the development of science and technology is too fast, why don't you go and see it another day!" ”

He has no pressure to have an extra child, and now the government encourages childbearing, and after giving birth, he can get a considerable subsidy and a three-year maternity leave, plus free education, basically no pressure on life.

At that time, even if it is a house, it can be replaced with a larger one.

"I heard that this technology is quite advanced, and when the fertilized egg is in the state, the hospital will modify the genes and delete the defective genes, so that the children born are smarter, more beautiful and stronger. Why don't we take a day off tomorrow morning? The wife said impatiently, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.

After all, for a mother who wants a child, who would refuse such a baby.

However, Cui Weichuan has a relatively conservative personality, and he is still a little hesitant about this new technology that has not yet been verified for safety, not to mention that it also involves his own children, but seeing his wife's excited state, the words came to his lips: "I will tell the factory director tomorrow, it should be no problem to ask for leave." ”

……

Early the next morning, the two hurried to the hospital.

The hospital is inside the building, two floors above their house, just a short walk away.

Usually there are not many people in the hospital, but today there are a lot of people, Cui Weichuan found that the people who came and went were husband and wife, and he immediately knew in his heart that he was obviously also coming for this new technology, and they were not the only couple.

In the process of queuing, Cui Weichuan found that after some couples came out, many people frowned, and it seemed difficult to make up their minds, he couldn't help but wonder, but he didn't think much about it, and after queuing for nearly two hours, it was finally their turn.

……

"Are you saying that the children you may have will not be too much like their parents, and even the parent-child genes will be problematic?" In the face of the doctor's euphemistic explanation of the new technology, the wife seemed to have been poured cold water and was dumbfounded.

In the face of the customer's doubts, the doctor said calmly:

"The situation is like this, this technology modifies a lot of genes, basically a comprehensive overhaul, for example, some parents are not very good, but after modification, the child will be very beautiful.

Of course, I also know your concerns, but now that the government is promoting this new technology, every family that gives birth will receive a huge subsidy, even if you don't want to raise it, you can also send it to a special care center to be raised by the government, even if you are born, you will not have anything to lose! ”

The better the conditions are given, the more Cui Weichuan feels that there is a problem in his heart, and there will be problems with even the paternity test, is this still his own child? He quietly pulled the corner of his wife's clothes, but he saw that his wife looked entangled and seemed to be unable to make up her mind.

……

There is no doubt that this technology is a natural product of the "Human Genome Optimization Project", which was established nearly a year ago.

It redefines the standard of human genes, eliminating the reproductive effects of unlocking viruses, and with the official implementation of this technology, it means that a new and optimized human being is about to be born, and human beings will no longer have genetic defects, and genetic diseases will become legendary.

Not only strong, smart, beautiful, but also long-lived.

The average attributes of the new generation of human beings, including IQ, can generally reach thirteen to fourteen points, and the average life expectancy reaches about three hundred years, and at the same time, the natural reproduction ability of human beings has returned to normal.

In fact, when it comes to Luo Yuan's face, there is not only one genetic standard plan, the other plans are more radical, compared to this human genetic standard is the most conservative and cautious, the new human race has not departed from the concept of conventional human beings, and there is no weird and mysterious evolutionary ability, except for adding a weak self-healing ability that can make life longer, and no drastic modifications have been made, it can only be called optimization.

But after these plans were proposed, Luo Yuan thought about it again and again, and chose this one of the most conservative, this plan has one of the biggest advantages, the reproduction ability of the new human race has not been weakened much, and this alone is enough to abandon other radical plans.

After all, cloning technology can only save a momentary emergency, abandoning natural reproduction, and relying on cloning from now on, is not impossible, but it has undoubtedly embarked on an evil path.

Survival is the first priority of civilization, the development of human beings can not always be smooth sailing, in the scale of time, the development of civilization, there will always be ups and downs, once civilization encounters accidents, science and technology regress, there is no excellent natural reproduction ability, waiting for human beings may be extinct.
