Chapter 384 Gene Activation

New Era Year 10, January 5th.

There are few traces of the AD era left, and the new era is gradually becoming more powerful.

January 5th every year is the all-citizen meeting of the highest will of new mankind, and this year is no exception.

Ten years have passed since the new era. Many new faces have stepped onto the stage of history, and many older generations have begun to transfer some of their positions to young people.

In order to ensure the vitality of each organization, each organization will replace 30 to 40% of its personnel at all levels every 10 years through promotion, dismissal, transfer, downgrade, retirement, and recruitment.

In fact, among the four organizations now, the Service Commission is the most disadvantaged place. The salary and benefits seem to be at the upper-middle level in society, but it is like a doormat.

It is also very easy to get into trouble by the arbitration committee. The really desirable institutions are the scientific committee, the war committee, and even private business groups and private non-profit organizations are more popular than joining the service committee.



As a planet with native microorganisms, Mars has not been developed on a large scale and still maintains its original ecology.

On the other hand, the new humans already have artificial gravity technology and complete artificial natural environment technology at this time, and they can live in outer space completely away from Earth-like planets.

The death rate has decreased, but the birth rate has remained at about 5%. In the past 10 years, the population of new humans has increased to 1.98 billion.

In terms of population distribution, Blue Star and its affiliated satellite cities have 1.12 billion, and other areas of the solar system have 560 million.

Among the six newly discovered planets with life, the star systems of four of them have been colonized by new humans, with a population of 300 million distributed there.

The Tianya system, on the other hand, has only a population of more than 10,000 and is still in a state of silent dormancy.



After the meeting, Huang Mingzhe once again used the stand-in robot to arrive at the Qiaomu Satellite City on Qiaomu Planet.

The Indus System is one of the four developed star systems, with a population of 86.37 million people. It is one of the four major colonial star systems of the new humanity.

The scale of Qiaomu Satellite City is hundreds of times larger than that of three years ago. Huang Mingzhe stood at the door of the laboratory, checking the recent scientific research status.

Compared with the Nibelungs who were keen on expansion, the expansion of the new humans was very small, slow and cautious.

According to the deciphered information, after the Nibelung civilization developed mature artificial wormhole technology, in less than 20 years, it covered the entire river system and colonized tens of thousands of star systems.

The new humans who have insight into the nature of the universe are not as neurotic as the Nibelonic civilization. They walk on thin ice every step for fear of awakening the Reaper civilization.

Every satellite city inhabited by humans is being transformed so that it can be turned into a century spaceship in the future.

Moreover, the satellite city is also equipped with three wormhole generation cores, which can provide a wormhole for the century spaceship to travel to the distant starry sky in an emergency.

After reading some of the scientific and technological progress of the Science and Technology Commission, Huang Mingzhe has always been obsessed with quantum communication technology, but still has not succeeded.

Researchers have successfully generated quantum entangled pairs, but how to load information onto quantum particles is a difficult problem.

The research team has been unable to imitate the quantum communication of the Heart of Nibelung and the quantum information loader, which really disappointed him.

Putting all these troubles behind for the time being, Huang Mingzhe came to the Dimorphic Gene Laboratory.

"Chairman, good afternoon." Sim Baker greeted politely.

Huang Mingzhe smiled and said: "Sim, how is the progress?"

"It's almost time. After we completed the human dimorphic genome project last year, we have initially completed the first phase." Sim Baker's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

"Oh? Go and have a look."

"plz follow me."

Sim Baker took Huang Mingzhe deep into the laboratory, and many researchers were in a hurry along the way.

Huang Mingzhe still admires Sim Baker very much, and he is one of the few scientists who can keep up with him.

In a room deep in the laboratory, the arrival of the two people did not affect the researchers' work, and they were still busy minding their own business.

Sim Baker opened the virtual display screen, called up a three-dimensional diagram of the gene chain, and then clicked a button. Some sequences marked with red, blue, yellow and white appeared on the three-dimensional gene chain diagram.

Huang Mingzhe, who has been paying attention to research in this area, naturally understands what these different colored gene sequences mean.

Red represents "severe malignant mutations", yellow represents "mild malignant mutations", white represents "stable neutral mutations", and blue represents "benign mutations".

Judging from the statistics of all human gene sequences, 17.6% are severely malignant mutant gene sequences, 24.1% are mildly malignant mutant gene sequences, 34.3 are stable neutral mutant gene sequences, and 24% are benign mutant gene sequences.

But this is only the overall data of all mankind. When it comes to individuals, the proportions among the four will vary to a certain extent.

Of course, the so-called "malignant mutation" is actually a relative concept. Many malignant mutation gene sequences are actually judged by humans based on their own likes and dislikes.

For example, malignant gene-Sequence No. 2756. Once this gene is activated, human lung cells will divide indefinitely, which is equivalent to direct cancer cells.

But if combined with two other stable genes, this malignant gene will be controlled.

This situation coincides with the overall laws of living organisms.

Just like a knife is a murder weapon in the hands of a killer, but it is a cooking tool in the hands of a chef. The key lies in how the user uses it.

There is no good or evil in the knife itself, and there is no good or evil in the gene itself. Good and evil are in the human heart.



"Chairman, look at these..." Sim Baker pointed at the three-dimensional diagram of the gene chain, and then copied an identical three-dimensional diagram from the three-dimensional diagram of the gene chain.

It's just that on this three-dimensional map, less than 5% of the gene sequences of different colors are left.

"Are these gene sequences the first stage of your gene lock?"

"Yes, as long as the first stage of the gene lock is activated, the physical quality of the new humans will be improved."

A supercomputer simulation of the first stage of unlocking the genetic lock appeared in front of everyone.

There are no obvious changes in the surface of the body, but the cell strength, vitality, and brain have been strengthened to varying degrees.

Unlike relying on external objects such as biological computers, life potions, and rebirth potions, gene lock activation is a potential inherent in human beings.

This is a fundamental evolution and change.

Huang Mingzhe did not get carried away, but asked: "What about the side effects?"

"Since we cannot activate gene sequences at specific points for the time being, we must use whole-body tau neutrino irradiation, which may inadvertently activate some other gene sequences." Sim Baker replied helplessly.

Huang Ming analyzed philosophically: "It is estimated that even if the targeted activation technology is mature, there are still some risks in the first stage of gene activation."

"What the chairman said makes sense." Sim Baker did not deny the problem in this regard.

An organism is an organic whole, and the genes of an organism are diverse. The gene activation sequence in the first stage may not necessarily apply to all humans.

"You continue your research and thoroughly understand the genetic sequence in humans. Only then can we consider human evolution."

"clear."

Huang Mingzhe looked at the time: "Sim, I'm going to meet someone and we'll discuss it next time."

"OK."

He walked towards the stand-in robot storage room.
