Chapter 3: Strangling God in the Cradle (Part II)
"Lieutenant General Blake, there are bad signs in the base you are responsible for, and we think this will greatly affect our plans." In the general dispatch room of the military base, a white man in a suit said to Lieutenant General Blake, who was sitting behind his desk.
"Yes, but I think it's an internal academic debate, you have to know that the United States is a country of free speech, especially in the scientific discussion of these natural subjects, even the government, it is impossible to fight a certain faction, history has long proven, that is often counterproductive, whether it is the theory of relativity, or the atomic bomb, and further back, the plane is also average." Lieutenant General Blake spread his hands out, signaling that there was nothing he could do about it.
And yet they are against! Against, you know what it means? The white man's voice suddenly rose up, "This will delay the progress of the study, what we need is for everyone to work on the study, and their arguments should focus on how to speed up, how to improve, how to correct and so on, not to deny the study, you know?" ”
"Of course I understand, dear Sorok intelligence officer, but what do you want me to do to arrest them all? Or do you take a baton and say to them, you can't make these statements, you can just roll me back to the lab and honestly give me research? Blake was unmoved, undeterred.
"You don't know the severity of the matter at all!" Sorok Intelligence Officer walked back and forth in the general dispatch room, his voice getting higher and higher-pitched, "You can't imagine the urgency of those guys, even the moment of complete victory in World War II, no one can have such excitement!" You can imagine what would happen to us if something unexpected happened here that slowed down the experiment! ”
Without waiting for Lieutenant General Blake to answer, he pressed his hands on the wide desk, his eyes were fixed on Lieutenant General Blake's face, and he shouted with almost all his strength: "We will be sent to the most desolate desert to do the most menial work, Hugh said to enjoy the technological achievements of the future, even to be a cleaner!" ”
After yelling, Sorok paced back and forth in the general dispatch room on his own, and kept saying, "Damn, the most infuriating thing is that I found out that something was wrong, but the power to handle things is not in my hands!" ”
"The consequences are even more terrible than you think," Lieutenant General Blake was not furious at a guy who was just half his age yelling at him, "my current and former wives, as well as three sons, two grandchildren and a granddaughter, are all under surveillance, and if the worst happens, I can trust without doubt that they can erase all traces of me in this world, including you, of course!" ”
Hearing this, the intelligence officer of Sorok stopped, turned back and asked, "Why are you indifferent when you know that the consequences are so serious?" Allowing them to spread such rhetoric? ”
"It's far from that simple," Blake shook his head, "we can control almost everything, but it's absolutely impossible to control the unknown world of science!" Even if someone has painted a wonderful picture for us beforehand! ”
"Do you know what DNA sequencing is? Do you know what genetic repair is all about? Do you understand where exactly the limits of human lifespan are? Do you know what 'Heaven's Gate' means? No, you don't understand it at all, not only you, but I almost completely don't understand it! ”
"Believe me, we can only leave these issues to the experts, as long as they are still in the realm of academic debate, and not try to violently block the research process, or do something! I won't force them unless the relevant experts can provide me with relevant evidence," Lieutenant General Blake leaned back in his chair and changed into a comfortable position, "You have to figure out one thing first, we can provide funding, manpower, research equipment, and the best living conditions!" But even so, it is absolutely impossible for us to give a breakthrough deadline to a scientific experiment that humanity has never had! There is no major historical discovery that can be made within a time limit. Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is, the result will inevitably be full of all kinds of defects! ”
"Okay, I hope that with your forty years of experience in logistics and technical support, you can ensure that this time the matter is not as serious as I imagined, but I still have the right to convey it directly." Sorok Intelligence Officer thought for a moment, but finally relented.
"Well, that's your authority, but I want you to remember that no one can take any action against any of my experts without my signature authorization!" Lieutenant General Blake finally accentuated his tone and said sentence by sentence.
Can I see this as a means of psychological appeasement? Maybe it does help to motivate those guys. Sorok Intelligence Officer cleared his throat and said.
"Whatever you want, I'm going to have an experimental research progress report meeting in ten minutes, and you can also attend." Lieutenant General Blake said casually.
"That's the case, and the results are quite remarkable now," Xue Ying, as the chief scientist, is on the podium, explaining the progress of the experiment as the projector progresses.
"We've corrected almost most of the underlying defects in human genes, including some of the genes for common genetic diseases, which is a historic breakthrough, even if it pales in comparison to our goals. But if it is announced now, it is obvious that I believe that the world is boiling. ”
"Research has hit a bottleneck, the life technology aided by the Rohr people, with a strong ethnic color, in many ways, is not suitable for the current situation of human beings on Earth, their body structure is immune to many injuries from the natural environment, so that they have not proposed solutions to these injuries. And these damages, such as certain rays in the sun, radiation in the earth, the toxicity of certain trace elements to the human body, and so on, are the first things we must overcome. Otherwise, no matter how perfect the body is, it will gradually collapse under these invisible killers, and at best it can only last for some more time than the original, but this extra time is far from meeting our requirements. ”
"In order to change this, we need to improve the human constitution and add more functions to the original physical defense mechanism to defend against these natural threats; These threats may seem to have a small impact, but they are long-lasting, pervasive in every corner, and even closely related to survival, and we can only minimize the harmful side, not eliminate it completely. ”
……
The difficulties were listed, and some of the experts below nodded in agreement, while others shook their heads in doubt, but soon it was their turn to express their opinions.
"I agree with Dr. Xue that the structure of the human body, especially the mystery of brain consciousness, is far from being mastered, but we have only obtained part of other people's technology, it is difficult to get a perfect result, and no one will give you the best unless you are his son. We need to be more extensive, we need more people, and we need experts in various fields, otherwise we will not be able to verify the correctness of those techniques........."
……
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and experts who spoke various Chinese languages were noisy, and there was no shortage of people with red faces.
Lieutenant General Blake, who was sitting in the last row, naturally did not participate in it, let alone support any faction, he only needed those loyal experts trained by the government to provide him with a detailed assessment report after the meeting.
"These are the most elite parts of all mankind, and it seems that this kind of research is indeed urgent, and it seems that we need to find some way to alleviate the urgency above?" Sorok Intelligence Officer said meaningfully.
"Hmph, the greedy guy has more than half of his life than ordinary people and is not satisfied, I am very patient, twenty years, even fifty years, you can wait, this is not ordinary scientific research, they have completely stretched out their hands to the realm that God can enter." Lieutenant General Blake replied in a low voice.
