Chapter 37 Progress in the New Human Project

Ten hours after he became conscious, Chen Xi finally sensed his body.

Hearing was the first to recover, and he vaguely heard words such as neuroactive, damaged, repaired, etc.

"It seems that medicine has advanced a lot..."

Try to open your eyes, suddenly exposed to bright light, your eyes are a little uncomfortable, and there is a sour and painful feeling.

Impaired vision was also restored.

"Sir, don't move yet, we're going to check if the nerve repair therapy has any after-effects on you."

Five hours later, Chen Xi finally got rid of the fate of being manipulated by the doctor and was admitted to an exclusive recovery ward.

Through the window, he saw one cylindrical pillar after another, and the pillars extended vertically into many tiny columns.

Small pillars connect large pillars, like interlaced branches in a dense forest, drones of different sizes fly freely through the forest, and Chen Xi guesses that they are couriers in the city.

"Dawn, how big is this city?"

The glass revealed the text, and he was too lazy to look at it.

"Voice mode."

"It covers an area of 78 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a circle with a diameter of ten kilometers, with five floors above and below, and each layer is two hundred meters high."

"The first layer is an agricultural area, which produces enough food for millions of people, and is currently being renovated to convert half of the agricultural land into industrial land and build a starch synthesis plant."

"The second and third floors are residential areas, the fourth floor is a scientific research center, and the fifth floor is a power station, water recycling facilities, intelligent machinery manufacturing, and light industry for the production of daily necessities."

Chen Xi came back to his senses from the scenery outside the window and asked, "How many such cities are there?" ”

"There were only two of them, and it took 12 years."

"Master, the Academy of Sciences has requested a call with you."

"Take it."

Then, the curtain is lowered on the outside of the window, most of the lights in the ward are automatically extinguished, and the bright room becomes dark, and the blue light projected from what resembles a camera around it forms a conference table.

There were more than a dozen participants, most of them were old people, with a somewhat familiar feeling, and the young people were all newcomers who had never seen before.

Chen Xi looked around and said, "What is the situation?" ”

Someone said, "We don't know the details, you can ask Dawn, or Ms. Say, we're all doing research." ”

"The situation is not very good, the spies planted by various countries have leaked the news that artificial starch has been mass-produced, and the Council members have come to the city to try to force us to hand over the technology."

"Spies?" Chen Xi muttered.

"Dawn, didn't find anything abnormal?"

"No, the only thing I've calculated is the leaked news of the three-body man's Zhizi, intending to induce a civil war among the humans."

Chen Xi shrugged helplessly, "Okay, give me a brief description of the world situation first." ”

"The Blue Star has less than 1 in 10,000 vegetation cover, ecological problems have caused three billion deaths in famine, all regimes outside the Council have collapsed, and the existence of a government is non-existent."

"The Space Force is semi-independent."

"The focus of the UN Council has changed, focusing on solving the problem of famine, and large-scale construction of underground greenhouses, as well as the construction of hibernation centers, and random lottery to send people to the future."

"Thirty million people are already hibernating."

Both projects require resources, and where do they come from? Antarctica, of course, what will happen when the Antarctic is developed?

The 30 million places out of the sea of suffering are insignificant compared to the four billion people, Chen Xi asked suspiciously:

"Has there ever been an incident where someone who didn't win the lottery killed the person who won the lottery?"

Dawn: "Yes, they're all dead." ”

It can't be the hands of humans, so: "With the addition of the council, how many people-based armies are there now?" ”

"500,000, of which 300,000 are the Space Force."

"The food problem has made it impossible for countries to support their armies, and the armed forces have replaced the conventional armies," Say said. ”

There was one thing she didn't say, and that was that machines were far more obedient than thinking humans.

On the white walls, there are images of countless drones shooting people at the head of the refugee tide.

The tank unit of a certain country was indiscriminately killed by a row of laser vehicles, and the fighter plane was crashed and destroyed by a supersonic drone ...

In the darkness, Chen Xi showed a gloomy smile, how dare you, don't you know that it was made by Shuguang Technology?

After a while, Say continued: "Mr. Chen Xi, there have been rebels in the past few years, but they have all been suppressed. ”

"At the same time, we have completely lost the game, film and television databases located on all continents, and the optical cables connecting the eight supercomputing centers of the eight divisions of the Dawning Brain-like have been cut off, and we can only determine whether the supercomputing center has been invaded through satellite signals."

(The brain-like supercomputing center is unmanned, and when it detects a person, it will immediately start a self-destruct program.) )

This is a sanction against Dawning Technology for openly and covertly supporting the rebels.

"The disparity in force is like a chasm."

The head of the armed forces department said: "Sir, although we have a nuclear bomb, we have no chance of winning against the Security Council. ”

"The two countries have mastered ball lightning weapons, which can instantly destroy the neuronal chips of intelligent machines and even the warheads of nuclear bombs after specially concocted macro atoms."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's not that we have to fight, human civilization can't withstand the ravages of war now." ”

"Contact PDC for negotiations tomorrow."

"And then, who succeeded Mr. Gould? Tell me about the progress of the New Human Project. ”

A young man raised his hand and said adoringly, "Mr. Chen Xi, my name is Bai Ruide, a new human!" ”

"Of course, not the new human you envisioned, I only have the ability to photosynthesize at the moment."

"I'm a clone made by Mr. Gould out of his own cells, even though we're genetically different."

Chen Xi asked suspiciously, "How old are you?" ”

"Born in 32, just an adult this year, there is no need to question my ability, I am also the result of talent instillation engineering, the neuronal structure of my brain has been adjusted for ten years, and finally I have obtained the three super talents of unforgettable, absolute pitch, and mathematical space, and mathematical space is Dr. Wei Cheng's mathematical talent."

"By the way, the absolute tone is my choice."

"I'm trying to live past the age of fifty!"

Experimental? Why is the personality so cheerful?

Chen Xi was a little puzzled, picked up the tablet on the table and inquired, and the answer was the education of the big data personality profile system.

"Is the reason for the short life a genetic problem?"

Bai Ruide nodded and said, "Yes, as we get older, the problem of the new human genome is gradually revealed, and our Human Genetic Engineering Institute is doing its best to correct the error. ”

"I understand, whether human beings can live long depends on you, and complete the first generation of new human projects as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Chen Xi looked at a familiar face: "Mr. Igman, can talent instillation be applied to ordinary humans?" ”

The old man shook his head, "No, the compensatory function of the new human brain and the repair function of brain neurons are far stronger than ours, so we can change the structure of the brain nerves little by little, without becoming a fool, a vegetative person, or dying in the process." ”

"Our brain neurons are permanent cells, and when they die, they die, and the unusually crude act of changing the structure of neurons will kill brain neurons on a large scale."

"If you don't have good compensatory ability, you may lose your speech ability and other side effects if you force surgery, and if you don't have the ability to repair, you're slowly killing your brain."

Chen Xi frowned, the key plan had made a breakthrough, but it couldn't be applied to himself.

Enquire about the New Humanity Project, volunteers are being recruited.

"Mr. Brad, the principle of transforming old humans into new ones?"

"Ah~, it's simple, take out some genes that modify it in the spinal cord, and inject it back into the subject's body."

Rhett called up the city surveillance, a lot of white hair.

"The modified spinal cord is like a cancer cell, which will quickly engulf the subject's spinal cord, and then gradually differentiate into new red blood cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, white blood cells, muscle cells, etc., in the process of metabolism, replacing the original cells."

In other words, you have created universal cells?

"The artificial gene chain of new human cells is prone to errors in the replication process, and the current work of our genetic engineering institute is to continuously eradicate the cancer that appears on the subject's body."

"When the gene strand replication process stabilizes, the first generation of new human engineering is successful."

Chen Xi pondered for a long time and said, "I want to carry out the transformation of the new human race, go and prepare." ”

Everyone was shocked, and everyone opened their mouths to dissuade them, this was too dangerous, and as a result, Chen Xi shut up their microphones:

"I said, go get ready."
