After the famous optical expert Wang Luoyi became a vegetative state due to blood clots, he was cured by the newly developed genetic modification device suitable for human use and is now back to health!
This explosive news spread throughout civilization almost instantly.
Zhao Changxing then announced that the genetic modification device technology has made a major breakthrough. However, because it is still not perfect, its application is currently only limited to patients who are ineffective for certain conventional treatments and are dying. The identity of the patient is not disclosed.
No restrictions. Even the most ordinary workers and civilians are equally eligible to apply.
The relevant conditions for selection are also announced together. Moreover, the identity information of each selected candidate is made public and is subject to everyone's supervision.
With these responses, some minor rumors and doubts were dissipated. And the people were very happy to find that their life safety had been protected.
Countless people began to look forward to the future development of technologies related to genetic modification devices. Zhao Changxing also provided as much manpower and material support as possible. After conducting hundreds of clinical trials and conducting full-scale research for almost three years,
The brand-new genetic modification equipment has finally begun mass production and has been installed in batches in all central hospitals in the space city.
From this moment on, some diseases that have troubled mankind for a long time in the past have finally been overcome by mankind.
In the hospital, the tragic scenes in the past have become much less severe, and despair slowly disappears from people's faces. Because at this moment, almost everyone knows that even if all conventional methods fail, there is at least the last guarantee and the last resort.
A glimmer of hope.
The performance of genetic modification machines has not disappointed people. Relevant medical institutions have made predictions on this. The conclusion is that due to the full launch of genetic modification machines, the average life span of human individuals will increase by at least 10 years, from the past 70 years.
years old, raised to 80 years old!
Moreover, after receiving treatment with a genetic modification device, the quality of life will be greatly improved compared to the past. For example, even if a paralyzed patient can survive, there will be no quality at all. But patients who have received treatment with a genetic modification device are different.
They have a very high probability of getting back on their feet and becoming normal people again.
Or patients with Alzheimer's disease. In the past, even when they were alive, they were in a state of confusion, completely inseparable from the care of other people, and sometimes even did not know how to use the toilet. Such people are simply waiting to die.
However, Alzheimer's patients who have been treated with genetic modification machines may be able to rejuvenate their brains. There have even been examples of Alzheimer's scientists returning to the frontline of scientific research after receiving treatment.
This is an extremely amazing achievement.
The development of science and technology and the strength of civilization are fed back to every individual in the civilization in this way.
Of course, the research and development of genetic modification device technology is far from reaching expectations. Zhao Changxing hopes that it can solve more diseases. For example, in work and life, disabled people who unfortunately have lost part of their limbs, Zhao Changxing also hopes that genetic modification can solve more diseases.
The transformation device can change a certain part of their genes to achieve the result of self-regeneration.
In other words, if you lose your legs, you can genetically modify them so that you can grow a leg again. If you lose your arms or hands, you can grow another arm or hand.
He also hopes that the genetic modification device can delay human aging so that everyone can have a life span of 150, even 200 or 300 years.
"If everyone could live to be 300 years old, how fast would our civilization develop..."
One of the most important obstacles restricting the development of human civilization is that human life span is too short.
After an excellent scientist is born, he often needs to spend more than 20 or even 30 years studying before he has the ability to fight on the front line of scientific research. And his peak time is often only 20 or 30 years.
Once you age, you have to withdraw from the front line of scientific research. Once you die, your brain full of knowledge will turn into dust.
Then, new scientific researchers have to go through the process all over again.
This is such a waste.
If human lifespan can be increased to 300 years, then the peak period of human beings will be increased to at least 200 years, which is almost ten times higher than before. By then, one person's contribution to civilization will be equivalent to ten people in the past.
After imagining the bright future of the genetic modification device, Zhao Changxing sighed with satisfaction and turned his attention to the present.
Those fantasies are still too far away and there is no hope of realization for the time being. Now, the nearest breakthrough that can be expected is the genetic optimization and application of human embryos.
What the genetic modification instrument uses is actually gene editing technology. For embryos, this technology is like a ‘blank sheet of paper for drawing’, which can achieve the maximum optimization effect.
As for adults, because their bodies have already been shaped, they can probably only be regarded as "dancing with shackles" and cannot do as they please.
Of course, there are still effects. However, in most cases, specific optimizations are made specifically for a certain part of the genes, such as activating the brain's neuron regeneration function, and cannot be targeted at the whole.
It is certain that once a breakthrough is made in the genetic modification technology of human embryos, then its modification will be fully effective.
After the modified embryos grow into adults, they will have stronger bodies, smarter brains, fewer disease-causing genes, and longer lifespans. The benefits are countless.
With the large-scale application of genetic modification devices in civilization, the massive data generated during use, and the full support of Zhao Changxing and the full research of scientists, this day will soon truly come to human civilization.
But the top leaders of the human government, the members of the Civilization Management Committee, have always been in a very tangled state about this technology.
"Leader, we have indeed mastered the overall genetic modification technology of the genetic modification instrument for embryos. However, because each modification plan requires manual customization, we can complete the modification of one embryo every five days on average. And
,We see no hope of improving efficiency in the short term.”
If the transformation of one embryo is completed every five days on average, then only about 70 embryos can be completed in a year. At this moment, the average number of new human babies born every year has exceeded 20,000.
Clearly, only a small percentage of young children have access to this newest, most advanced technology with endless benefits.
In a short period of time, this technology cannot be promoted to the entire society.
Moreover, everyone knows that people who have undergone overall genetic modification and optimization have the ability to completely crush ordinary people. There is no doubt that when they become adults, they will easily win the internal competition and occupy the territory very easily.
The top level of society.
As a result, the situation will inevitably evolve into a situation where only those who have undergone overall genetic optimization and transformation can become high-level people, and ordinary people can only remain ordinary people for a lifetime. If this continues, it will be substantially completed.
The division between humans and sub-humans.
Anyone with a little discernment can see this. Then ordinary people will definitely not accept this situation. Their resistance will lead to the collapse of the entire civilization system.
Either no one uses it. Or everyone uses it. Either everyone is an ordinary person, or everyone is a genetically modified person. When everyone is the same, there will naturally be no divisions.
At this moment, when the committee members faced this technology, they felt a chill in their hearts. Because this technology has the ability to destroy human civilization.
But……
The Moyun Litar civilization may arrive at any time. The long-term plan to develop civilization and enhance the strength of civilization at all costs is a long-term plan. And since we need to develop civilization quickly and enhance the strength of civilization, how can we lack the assistance of this technology?
?
It doesn't work, it doesn't work. All committee members are in a dilemma.
"Can't your health department think of ways to apply this technology on a large scale?"
"This..." the Director of the Health Department smiled bitterly: "If you want to improve efficiency, you need to use artificial intelligence to replace manual customization to come up with transformation and optimization plans. Our current technical level cannot build such an advanced computer."
If you want to improve computing technology, you will undoubtedly need a large number of scientists. And a sufficient number of scientists require a sufficient population base to breed.
To put it bluntly, the level of civilization development is still not good enough.
As for how to improve the level of civilization development, that is another big issue, and it cannot be solved in a short time.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Changxing.
Zhao Changxing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This technology must be used. However, it must not have an impact on our existing social structure. It must not create a substantial division between humans and sub-humans."
There must be equality between people. This is a belief that Zhao Changxing has always adhered to and has never changed.
"So... using this technology, embryos that undergo overall genetic modification and optimization can only come from anonymous sperm banks and egg banks, and are randomly selected. Also, anyone who has undergone overall genetic modification and optimization is prohibited from becoming a government official.
Staff. If possible, it would be best if they all become scientists."
The committee members were startled at first, and then their eyes lit up.
Zhao Changxing's plan takes into account these two seemingly contradictory preconditions to the maximum extent. Coming from an anonymous sperm bank and egg bank means cutting off their blood ties with any existing interest groups.
Ensured the purity of one's wealth.
Banning them from becoming government employees completely eliminates the possibility of them gaining power.
Without power, even if they want to make waves, they can't do it. What's more, Zhao Changxing is personally in charge here.
They can only honestly follow the path designed by Zhao Changxing and use their excellent physical conditions that are enough to crush ordinary people to contribute to civilization.
