Chapter 307

This is the distant and remote planet of capotan

More than 500 years ago, the golden sun spacecraft successfully arrived in this region, bringing interstellar colonists from the solar system.

All the planets here have not bred any creatures, and the human beings of the golden sun have certainly not encountered any alien civilization.

Unfortunately, because of the political revolution, this branch of mankind broke out a large-scale civil war, which greatly delayed the process of planetary development.

These painful memories are the story of 300 years ago. The old generation gradually died, and the new generation took over the torch and led the whole civilization forward..

After more than 300 years of smooth development, this star field seems to be another "solar system", from the mineral mining point of the mining planet, to the interstellar shipyard of the main planet, and then to the nuclear fuel industrial base of the gaseous planet.

Even, you can see a huge global accelerator on the surface of a planet!

The only difference from the earth civilization is that this civilization is younger, more energetic and more poetic

"... about the genetic adjustment plan for the next generation?"

In an office, several senior leaders and scientists in the Scientific Council are discussing something.

"Yes, sir. Up to now, the social public support system has been realized for 300 years. According to the public opinion survey, most people hope that our next generation can be smarter and more creative, and do not have much resistance to genetic adjustment... "

"If a certain degree of screening and adjustment are carried out during the fertilized egg period, the next generation of children will undoubtedly be smarter. It is expected that the overall intelligence can be improved by 11%, which is a huge progress, much faster than natural screening."

The gray haired old man, who was also captain Xu Peng, listened to the complete plan and asked cautiously, "although all our humans no longer have children by themselves. But the sperm and eggs in the artificial incubator are still donated by citizens in the society. "

"I have several key points to ask..."

"First, due to gene adjustment, it will move closer to the BIA genome sequence, right?"

The young man immediately replied, "yes, indeed."

"So, will there be problems with the sperm and eggs donated by genetically adjusted humans? After modification, the genes of the whole human system will not collapse in decades, but if there are problems in the whole gene system after thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, it is even more difficult to adjust it back. Is this possible? "

"Captain, according to the existing samples, there is no problem for the time being. However, the current experiment only lasted until the fifth generation. It is not clear whether there will be problems after dozens or hundreds of generations. "

"Moreover, the implementation of genetic adjustment will indeed reduce gene diversity, which is another risk... Alas, if only we could find more high-quality genomes. The progress of research on how to improve human intelligence is too slow. "

Xu Peng was silent and didn't reply for a moment and a half.

The reason why we are anxious to improve the overall IQ is that the development of science is becoming more and more difficult and slower.

In addition, the whole civilization is also controlling the population and keeping it at an appropriate level. If it were not for the level of national genius, it would be a little unsustainable. However, blindly expanding the population will lead to a decline in action, which the high level of civilization does not want to see.

The long-term stagnation will inevitably lead to the loss of spiritual ideal and fighting spirit. Mankind can only rely on victorious achievements to continuously whip itself forward.

But the headache is that human understanding of genes is still in a state of half knowledge and half solution. This is the biggest problem. We can't move forward or backward.

"Well... The trial population of BIA genome cannot exceed 5% of the total population for the time being."

Xu Peng pondered for a long time and sighed, "and... We have found a means to promote the use of cosmic strings. It's time to explore the outside world. There is always a more powerful alien civilization in this universe. Our difficult problems may be just a piece of cake for them... "

"Even if this kind of external exploration has great risks..."

He looked up in the direction of kic8462852, tabby.

Dyson ball, which is right there, proudly announces the destruction of the "dark forest law" to the whole galaxy and declares that "the universe can communicate".

If the Dyson ball is not found, human beings are likely to still hide in their gentle hometown and arrogantly fantasize that they are the only intelligent life in the universe.

"Captain, the plan for foreign exploration. We need a powerful Starfleet. It takes decades to build from the main ship to the military ship. "

Xu Peng nodded: "the people will support this plan."

"We also need to train relevant talents from now on."

"The educational content of schools needs to be adjusted."

During such a heated discussion, suddenly, the door of the office opened and a young man from the Secretariat came in.

He cried with a little excitement, "Mr. captain!"

"What's urgent?"

"It's not urgent." The young man said hurriedly: "in theory, Gliese 581 has received the information we sent in the past, just a few hours! I don't know whether the people of the earth time have received these messages... I don't know whether they still exist and whether they will reply to us? "

"If they receive it, they should be very excited!"

Information?

Xu Peng was stunned, and then realized that this was a grand event more than 20 years ago.

Yes, the starry sky is so huge that it takes 20 or 30 years for the other party to receive a message, so that most people have forgotten it.

He sighed: "even if you want to reply to us, it will take 20 or 30 years to reach our planet..."

"I don't think it will be so fast. It may take another one or two hundred years." Another scientist said, "it's only 100 years since the earth age arrived at Gliese 581, isn't it? Even if they have not suffered setbacks, this time is still not enough to develop themselves. How can we build a large electromagnetic wave transmitting device? "

"Let's make a bet, two hundred years."

"Lao Yu, you may not live 200 years."

"That's 150 years. What's the bet? Let me think..."

A group of people even bet on it, but none of them is less than a hundred years old. Because even the golden age took such a long time to develop, there was enough redundancy to launch information.

This is really a lifetime long bet.

Xu Peng sighed again, "yes, it's nothing to reply later... Just hope our information can help them."

I also hope that in my lifetime, I can wait for the news of the earth times.

Even if you lose the bet.

The vast universe, if you really know that there is another human branch, it is really a very warm thing
