Chapter 110: Superman
The reason why Li Qingye sighed just now.
It is because in the long process of evolution, there will always be some individuals who will mutate, especially in the 21st century, the era of the population explosion.
The increase in population naturally increases the probability of mutations.
According to Anthony and Christine, the knighthood was first established after World War II in the last century, and then developed greatly during the Cold War.
At that time, America had acquired much of the legacy and talent of the Third Reich in Europe, including the Superhuman program.
After this super-human project was acquired by America, it was reorganized and localized into the Institute of Human Special Abilities, until 1980, when it was renamed the current Knight.
Anthony is a person with hearing abnormalities, and his hearing is about 4 times that of the average person.
Christine, on the other hand, has abnormal vision, and her eyes can achieve a visual slowing effect in a state of concentration, so she is trained to be a micro-expression profiler.
According to the information provided by the two, there are about 3,000 official members within the knights, and some potential children and teenagers are recruited into the knights' training camps every year.
However, the proportion of these people who are more useful is not high, probably less than 20%.
In Anthony's training camp, only about 24% of the people who persevered and overcame genetic diseases were about 24%.
Li Qingye is not surprised by this, after all, gene mutants do not necessarily mutate in the direction of the good, and there is a greater probability of mutating in the direction of the bad.
Even in the case of so-called benign mutations, there are still some problems.
For example, Anthony's hearing is about four times that of ordinary people, which means that when he talks to ordinary people, he has to work hard to overcome the thunderous sound, and the slightest wind and grass around him will make him feel very troubled.
Therefore, Anthony must sleep in a special soundproof room, and if he goes out to work, he must also wear sound-filtering headphones and sound-isolating earplugs.
Obviously, he can't control the volume of the sound he receives by adjusting it himself like Li Qingye.
The same is true for Christine, who often falls into a kind of time-space confusion, because she can't accurately turn on and off slow vision, which causes her to sometimes feel that her surroundings are slowing down, and sometimes she feels that time around her is speeding up.
Li Qingye looked through the genetic sequences of the two of them, and soon found the abnormal expression genes in the genetic sequences of the two people.
At this time, the internal gene database of Homo sapiens has collected the genetic sequences of hundreds of thousands of people, and through the comparison of these gene sequences, it is easy to find abnormal genes.
Li Qingye listed the abnormal genes of the two of them separately, and then activated the search function.
[YC-72 gene...... The result is 3 matches...... ]
[YC-73 gene...... The result of the match is 1 ...... ]
[YC—74 gene...... The result of the match is 4...... ]
The abnormal gene in Anthony is a small fragment of 4 genes, while Christine is a small fragment of 7 genes.
During the matching process, no identical small fragments were found, but an individual was found to have 75% overlap with Anthony's abnormal gene fragment.
Christine found two, but one was three out of seven and the other was two out of seven.
Take a look at the bios of these three people.
The one who coincided with Anthony was a deaf man from Honsavady.
And the two people who overlap with Christine, one has no problems, and the other has a high degree of myopia.
"Genetic diseases are everywhere." He sighed helplessly.
Immediately, Li Qingye looked through the confessions of Anthony and the others, and learned from it that the knight still kept some of the laboratories of the super human project back then, and these laboratories are still operating secretly.
Although Anthony and the others didn't know the specific location of these laboratories, or even what scientific research projects were going on inside, Li Qingye could guess some.
He is very clear about the inferiority of human beings.
Human research in biology usually has only two purposes, saving or destroying human beings, it is as simple as that.
Based on the knight's super human project, the scientific research projects of this organization will most likely focus on the technological research and development of immortals, super brains, superpowers, and genetically modified humans.
As for how far they have developed now, Li Qingye estimates that the knights have already conducted experiments on genetically modified humans.
After all, more than 20 years have passed since the emergence of the first generation of genetically modified technology, and from the perspective of the other party's bottomless style, it is basically impossible to conduct experiments on genetically modified humans in secret.
However, genetically modified humans need more than ten years of growth, that is, they can be matured by hormones, and it is estimated that it will take about 10 years.
Due to the immaturity of the first generation of transgenic technology, the test subjects may be off-target, genetic diseases, etc., and it is estimated that it is unlikely that they will be able to create the expected super human.
However, with the advent of the second generation of genetic recombination technology, it is no longer a problem to breed the expected genetically modified humans.
The second genetic recombination technology matured around 2011, and it has only been about 9 years so far.
Considering the initial need for testing, it is estimated that the application of the technology to human genetic modification will begin around 2015 at the earliest.
In other words, the knight's super human laboratory, even if it bred genetically modified babies, is now four or five years old at most.
It is difficult to come up with a mature application technology for this kind of experiment without 20 years.
Li Qingye is not too worried about this, now in the world in the field of human genetic modification, he believes that he is second, and no one dares to admit first.
After all, he had done genetic modification in his own body, plus the experience accumulated by so many soldiers and test subjects.
Now, even if Li Qingye transforms some super humans, it won't be a problem.
The question is why did he do it?
In Li Qingye's view, the superness of super humans should be reflected in the brain and intelligence, and the body is secondary.
Transforming a super human with a super brain is a very tricky problem to control these test subjects.
After all, a human with a super brain will most likely not be willing to be Li Qingye's pawn, and will definitely find a way to remove the control means on his body.
The smarter a person is, the easier it is to think too much.
Therefore, at this stage, Li Qingye does not create the demand for super humans, and doing so will increase internal uncertainty.
Now Homo sapiens has his core brain, plus a large number of scientific research workers, which is enough for the initial use.
After all, he doesn't need to worry too much about scientific research talents, and there are a lot of science and engineering graduates in Southeast Asia who can't find jobs, not to mention the millions of university science and engineering graduates in China every year.
These high-quality talents, as long as the company is willing to wave money to recruit, do not need to go to great lengths to cultivate.
So far, 3,225 researchers have been recruited by Homo sapiens and Aoba Group from all over Southeast Asia and 5,206 from China.
What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Talent!
What is the least valuable thing in the twenty-first century? Or talent!
Backed by the two world-class talent cultivation pools of Southeast Asia and China, how could Homo sapiens lack scientific research workers?
