Chapter 150: Human Past

Next, in this noise, another biologist, Professor Wei Jiahui, submitted his own proposal, the Human Genetic Transformation Act!

Human technology cannot develop upward again. There are many factors, not just the legendary "capable of a great desert" conjecture. In fact, there is another bigger reason: humans... are too stupid!

The intelligence of ordinary people, if you learn a little bit of calculus, you will reach the upper limit. If you make them learn something more difficult, you will have already become unable to do it. However, calculus is just an ordinary tool to explore nature, and it is not much different from 1+1 in the eyes of scientists.

Limited by intellectual factors, human memory is limited and the things that can be learned are also quite limited.

All modern disciplines have been extremely specialized. Even a genius like Zhang Yuan cannot do anything to suddenly conduct biology research from the perspective of space machinery.

But relying on a few top geniuses alone is no longer enough to promote the development of full civilization.

"So, through gene editing, we can comprehensively improve the intelligence level of the next generation of humans and cultivate more and more geniuses!"

"If we can cooperate with the social public maintenance system, it will undoubtedly be a great innovation!"

"Can you imagine a world of mass-made geniuses?"

This proposal...

Zhang Yuan frowned. He didn't know what to evaluate. Perhaps because he accepted too many things this meeting, he was a little numb.

After a while, someone stood up and questioned: "But, Mr. Wei, how should we do this? Everyone wants higher intelligence, which is indeed true...but..."

"Does it take time and time for human experiments? As a biology doctor, I have the right to refuse such cruel and inhumane biological experiments."

The people below no longer want to discuss "social maintenance", and gene editing undoubtedly touches the bottom line of science.

What should I do if there is an error in gene editing and some mutations occur?

Destroy the whole person?

A biologist raised his hand and spoke: "Professor Wei, we have not fully understood genes. There are as many as thousands of genes related to intelligence. If each gene has 2 equivalent genes, the number of the entire combination is 2 to the power of one thousand!"

"This number is countless times more than the atoms in the entire universe!"

"How do you decipher the best way to combine intelligence? Even the fastest computers can't accomplish this kind of task."

This is an almost unsolvable problem. Even if the genetic data of all humans are analyzed, compared with the power of 2 to 1,000, it is only a drop in the ocean.

What's more, there are more than two types of a gene, such as blood type genes. In addition to abo blood type, human blood types also have various other blood types, such as rh, mn and xg.

Is blood type related to intelligence?

Of course it has something to do! Even if there is no direct relationship, there is still a certain indirect relationship.

In addition, people have 46 pairs of chromosomes, and genes are also one-to-one. Therefore, the combination of genes about intelligence will only be much larger than the power of 2 to 1,000!

But then, something unexpected happened. Professor Wei was silent for a while and sent a document to the big screen: "Don't worry about this. We have found several relatively good gene combinations."

Wow!

It's simply a revelation!

There was another riot in the venue.

Zhang Yuan looked at various information on the screen and his heartbeat quickly accelerated, which seemed to be related to his sudden increase in intelligence.

Humans' pursuit of intelligence has existed since ancient times. Social leap through intelligence is called the most "stable" and "convincing" way of social leap.

Especially in that gray era that lacked energy, oil was exhausted and nuclear fusion flames were delayed. The huge survival crisis led to the occurrence of two world wars!

People long for...the emergence of scientific giants.

In that context, human genetic transformation project finally broke the traditional taboos and happened privately.

The first genetic engineering, called the "hia genome" sequence, is a set of genetic sequences that are found to be the probability of mental retardation and genius that can be found by investigating inbreeding populations.

There is a small probability that geniuses will be born, and there is a high probability that a group of idiots with low IQ will be born.

Scientists are also very difficult to explain why this happens. The genetic code has not been deciphered yet, and anything can happen.

In short, the "hia genome" sequence will make human intelligence develop towards extremes.

The second genome is called the "bia genome".

By investigating high IQ people, a gene combination was found.

However, because the genes of high IQ people are too complicated, they cannot find particularly convergent combinations. Therefore, there are many genome sequences, which are sometimes effective and sometimes not.

Overall, children born with the "bia genome" will have an intelligence increase of about 6%-10% compared with the average. They are relatively safe and generally, they will not be mentally retarded.

If it can be used on a large scale, it will increase by 6%-10%, which is already an amazing number!

The third genetic engineering is called the "Anti-Eye Man" project.

This plan attempts to straighten the inverted retina of humans to directly liberate the brain's computing power.

The structure of human eyes is exquisite but not perfect, the main reason is that the retina has a large number of defects.

The human retina is pasted upside down, and the retina and the eyeball wall are only loosely in contact with the top of the photoreceptor cells and the pigment cell layer, so it is very easy to fall off.

Imaging objects on the retina is like imaging small holes, upside down, only because the brain processes them, humans will feel that the world is positive.

This garbage-like retinal structure not only makes the eyes very fragile, but also takes up a lot of computing power in the brain when restoring visual images.

Crazy scientists at the beginning had a guess that if we learn from certain eye genes in octopus and "stick" the human retina, all problems will be solved. Maybe, by liberating this part of the brain's computing power, humans can become smarter.

Of course, humans were still in a very naive stage for gene research at that time, and any gene change would bring about a series of chain reactions.

The three plans are successful and failure.

The “hia genome” has brought rich results!

The birth of a scientific giant directly promoted the entire era.

The "bia genome" is only useful if there are too many people. Even in the war era, relevant departments dare not clone people on a large scale.

But the "Anti-Eye Man" plan was not successful. Unfortunately, the brain was unable to recognize the biological signals brought by the new eyes. These poor "experimental products" were blind and spent their entire lives in the dark...

It is difficult to describe what happened at that time in just a few words on the data, but it is vaguely imagined.

A storm wave appeared in Zhang Yuan’s heart!

Cold sweat came out little by little behind her back, soaking her entire clothes...

This kind of thing that even he could not accept had happened in history...

Even, there is a possibility that the blood of the "hia genome" flows through him!

It's simply, unimaginable.

Sighed deeply.

Human beings have never been a morally noble species, never.
