In the era when Mr. Lan grew up, many children became orphans.

Many children lose their parents' care at an early age.

Some children died because of their elderly relatives. Some were abandoned by desperate guardians. There were normal children, sick children, mentally ill children, and weak normal children.

As long as children are physically and mentally healthy, parents and schools can breathe a sigh of relief. If they are cheerful, friendly and sunny, active in activities, and diligent in learning, they will be even more bonus points. But since it is a bonus point, there are so-called basic points. The exams in this world are based on ability. Ability requires intelligence to master it.

The old man was a "basic score" back then, but he was full of shining bad students.

What does it mean to be stupid? Other species may not matter. Humans are animals whose intelligence is the characteristic of species. A stupidity has a great impact. Lan Ze felt that when he was a child, he could not keep up with the thinking rhythm of his peers, so it was awful.

Fortunately, when Mr. Lan entered the welfare home, he was already in his teens. Although he was just a poor student, he no longer needed to have children and accompany him. Generally speaking, he could take good care of himself.

Welfare homes undertake more and more children whose parents die and sickly children, and later more and more newborns abandoned in nurseries. The social welfare homes of that era can be said to be the predecessor of the social care system to a certain extent.

After their generation became adults, the nursery system gradually became part of the national welfare. Since human childbirth no longer relies on women's uterus, a large number of single fathers appeared, which promoted the formal establishment of the social care system.

When they were young, young people were treasures. When they got old, young people were everywhere in the world. Young people were no longer interested.

LLL quickly came back with tea.

She sat down and the few chatted for a while.

Lan Ze felt that many problems were not solved when he came to the research institute this time. For example, the risk level limit for finding a job is a very unremarkable thing.

The chef's occupational risk level is one and a half. The seven of them carry mutations, and they can't even be a chef. However, who can't use a knife to cut a dish at their own home?

However, there are only seven of them across the country, who are subject to such severe restrictions.

The old man himself has never been restricted because he is fifty years older than his regular childbearing age. The various human mutations carried by others are not so important and rare.

In order to satisfy Lanze's curiosity, LLL showed him some rough information with the wall-type projector in the small living room. The machine model looks very old, but the display quality is very fine.

First, there are some physical mutations from the origin of North Asia. They all look very powerful. The Huns, Shiwei, Donghu, and even Inuit are all North Asian races. All ethnic groups in North Asia live in harsh climates, and compared with people in other regions, physical mutations are very dense.

For example, strength, durability, explosive power, Inuit's ability to synthesize and vitamin C, and relatively speaking, relatively common cold resistance. These have certain value, but they are not important.

Only mutations related to neural response speed mark the word "major". It seems that the human mutations that increase neural response speed have evolved independently more than once among hunting nations in Africa and North Asia. This is a group of different mutations located at different chromosomal loci. However, the final action is the same, and it is regrettable that there is no superposition effect.

Lan Ze pays attention to this because he has always thought that his nerve reaction speed is very fast since he was a child.

"I seem to have this." Lan Ze pointed to the mutation.

"Well, then you're amazing." LLL said perfunctorily.

"Can you test it in the institute?"

"What's the best thing to test? Many people have it." LLL slid the page and the content outside the screen immediately showed it. "Look, the carriers have more than 100,000 to hundreds of thousands. Just do a random check for newborns every few years."

"But this is a big mark."

“That’s because it’s useful for interstellar navigation.”

"Can human reaction replace the autonomous driving of an airship?"

"I think you're wrong. The neural response speed is a factor that affects intellectual performance. Making quick and reasonable judgments and urgent decisions is the meaning of neural response speed, right?"

"Are you speculating?"

"I don't have this thing."

"I have it!"

"..." LLL was a little curious, "It's not actually useful in ordinary life on the ground, right?"

"Uh, playing basketball and games can kill your opponents. It's easy to use!"

Lan Ze was in the university town and his grades were quite good at playing navigation simulators. He recalled carefully and thought that LLL's speculation was reliable. Autonomous driving and human operations cannot be replaced by each other.

Lanze jumped from North Asia to Africa and took a look. Africa has many mutations, all kinds of types. The carrying population is not large, with thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. However, it is more than the number of people who have mutations in his own family.

The restrictions or protections of their brothers and sisters are actually related to the small number of people. If adult carriers can reach one hundred, protection can be reduced to one level. However, there are only eight adult carriers at present. The next generation is still young children, and the total number is over 100, but there are only dozens of mutation carriers among them.

If it can reach a scale of 100,000 people, then daily life should be no different from that of ordinary people. Even because of the personal advantages brought by mutations, there is the opportunity to enter certain work areas first, such as the deserted and distant space. Just like a "major" mutation in the speed of nerve reactions.

At that time, the only impact that a major and valuable mutation would remain on an individual would be the birth tax. The birth tax for someone else to have two babies is exempt from the birth tax, and you have to have three. But it is not difficult to have a childcare help.

The only obstacle at present is the number of people.

"So what you meant was important, it was the interstellar." Lan Ze slowly thought about it.

"That's right." The old director appeared. "We use interstellar needs as the standard to screen mutations."

Lan Ze knew that elderly people were prone to accidents when going to the toilet. Even exerting force in stools could cause heart attacks. After waiting for the elderly for so long, he was already a little uneasy.

There were security guards in the institute, but he didn't see those security guards and didn't know where they were. It seemed that he and Xiao Jiang were the only ones who were reliable.

Now, the old director has completed his private tasks and looks pretty good.

"I thought you were gone." The old director took the tea handed to him by LLL and sat down in his seat.
Chapter completed!
