Chapter 416

Although Chen Xin's reason is very good, but in the end, they still can't convince Qin LAN and Mo Qingyan.

Of course, they also did not persuade Chen Xin to give up the idea of genetic transformation.

The discussion between the three nearly broke up in a bad mood, but Chen Xin finally chose to give in and promised that he would start with simple gene strengthening and adjustment, and create the adjusters in the series of GAODA, instead of starting to build star fighters.

Although there is no essential difference between the two, it is much easier to say to the extent that ordinary people can accept it.

And for Chen Xin, manufacturing regulators are also much simpler.

The reason why the star fighters are powerful and have a strong physique beyond imagination is that they have to undergo a total of 19 surgical transformations for 10 years, and implant various strengthening organs for themselves, so that they can grow into super fighters with a height of 2.5 meters and a weight of more than 200 kg.

And after that, they need to go through 100 years of recruit training, inherit the combat memory from the gene precipitation and inheritance of 10000 years, in order to become a real sense of interstellar fighters, put on the power armor which also inherited hundreds or even thousands of years, and become the most powerful force of the Empire and the demigod of the world galloping across the galaxy.

Although the adjusters of the Gundam series started genetic transformation from embryos in the original work, it is much easier for Chen Xin to make the gene enhancer mentioned in the ancient science fiction and directly inject it to realize gene optimization and adjustment than to really copy the Star Warrior.

After thinking about it this way, Chen Xin feels that he really doesn't need to step too far.

With Chen Xin's promise, Qin LAN and Mo Qingyan don't say anything more. They just have reservations about it.

It's just that Chen Xin of Qin LAN and Mo Qingyan is easy to handle, but it's not so easy for the country to push this matter forward.

Knowing that Chen Xin wanted to carry out genetic research, the state's attitude was originally very supportive. However, the genetic transformation plan proposed by Chen Xin to create super soldiers was opposed by many people.

After repeated meetings, debates and even quarrels, the state sent a moral and ethical review team composed of experts in relevant fields to Chen Xin to review his research topic.

Instead of rejecting this, Chen Xin explained to them what he wanted to do, the relevant ideas and the means to achieve it.

"In other words, academician Chen, the genetic modification experiment you are going to carry out is not based on gene editing of embryos?" After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, an expert in the review group asked Chen Xin this question with a slightly loose expression on his face.

To this question, Chen Xin did not nod his head directly in order to pass the examination. Instead, he explained: "in my expectation, the transformation of wolves can only be achieved through genetic adjustment of embryos. However, considering the growth time of a normal human, I think it is a faster way to directly transform adult individuals."

"Gene editing itself is not illegal, the state is also carrying out research in related fields, and the restrictions in related fields are not as strict as expected." The expert nodded slightly. Although he didn't say anything clearly, his attitude showed kindness.

However, the expert was kind-hearted, while the other expert was very malicious and showed a very disgusting attitude towards Chen Xin.

"Have you considered the consequences of human genetic modification? Polluting the gene pool of human beings is a violation of social ethics and a threat to national security! " As soon as the expert opened his mouth, his hat fell off.

Chen Xin just looked at the expert and said, "you can accept cyberpunk style whole body reconstruction. Why are you so opposed to simple gene enhancement? Anthropocentrism? Fundamentalism? If scientists hold such an idea, human civilization will not progress. "

"You Chen Xin's words are very hard to hear. He almost points to the expert's nose and scolds people for being archaic, which naturally annoys the other party.

But the expert was held down by the leader of the review team next to him.

"Academician Chen Xin, the main purpose of our review is to examine whether your research conforms to the moral and ethical standards. Scientific researchers should respect life, abide by the rules, protect a pure land in the field of cutting-edge science and technology, and make innovative achievements better benefit mankind." The leader of the review group stressed to Chen Xin that his attitude is not bad, nor good: "although the development of science and technology has brought tremendous changes to society, and now is also a special period and special environment, scientific research still must abide by the ethical norms of scientific research, and the bottom line of scientific research ethics can not be touched or challenged.

Your research is not about gene editing of embryos, but even so, will individuals who have completed the genetic modification pass on the modified genes to the next generation? Will this inheritance cause side effects or unpredictable consequences? Are these genetically modified people still human? Or should we call them new humans?

Academician Chen Xin, you are very young and have a lot of ideas. This is the vitality that we old guys don't have. But I think you should be more careful. Do you have a comprehensive consideration of these problems? "The remarks of the leader of the review group softened Chen Xin's original tense attitude and readjusted his mood. Then he said: "genetic transformation itself is the optimization and promotion of human genes. This kind of change directly affects adult individuals and will indeed be passed on to the next generation.

As for whether there will be side effects or unforeseen consequences, I can't give you a positive answer, because less than 2% of the genes in the human body encode proteins, and we can't confirm the role of the remaining 98%.

Although the genetic transformation I want to carry out will only adjust the 2%, I can guarantee that there will be no problems within at least three generations, but whether the transformation will conflict with the original human genes or produce new mutations will require long-term experiments and observations.

As for the problem of new and old humans, there is no problem at all, because everyone can accept genetic modification to become new humans. "

At this point, Chen Xin deliberately pauses, looks at the expert who was disgusted with him before, and then continues: "of course, if someone thinks that human genes are sacred and inviolable, and any modification is blasphemous, they can also choose to retain the original genes to maintain the purity of human gene pool."
