Wallfacer: I suggest that humans be bad

Chapter 37 New Human Engineering Progress

Ten hours after he regained consciousness, Chen Xi finally sensed his own body.

Hearing was the first to recover, and he vaguely heard words such as nerve activity, damage, and repair.

"It seems that medicine has advanced a lot..."

Trying to open the eyes, suddenly exposed to strong light, the eyes are a little uncomfortable, and there is a feeling of soreness and pain.

Impaired vision was also restored.

"Sir, don't move around, we still need to test whether the nerve repair therapy has caused sequelae to you."

Five hours later, Chen Xi finally got rid of the fate of being manipulated by doctors and was admitted to the exclusive rehabilitation ward.

Through the window, he saw cylindrical pillars one after another, and the pillars extended vertically into many thin pillars.

The small pillars connect the big pillars, like the intertwined branches in the dense forest, and the drones of different sizes fly freely in the forest. Chen Xi guesses that they are couriers in the city.

"Dawn, how big is this city?"

Words appeared on the glass, and he didn't bother to read them.

"Voice mode."

"It covers an area of ​​78 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a circle with a diameter of ten kilometers. There are five floors up and down, and each floor is 200 meters high."

"The first layer is the agricultural area, which produces enough food for millions of people. It is currently undergoing transformation, turning half of the agricultural land into industrial land and building a starch synthesis factory."

"The second and third floors are residential areas, the fourth floor is a scientific research center, and the fifth floor is where power stations, water circulation facilities, intelligent machinery manufacturing, and light industries that produce daily necessities are located."

Chen Xi recovered from the scenery outside the window, and asked again: "How many cities like this are there?"

"There are only two, and it took 12 years."

"Master, the Academy of Sciences requests to speak with you."

"Come here."

Then, the curtains were lowered outside the windows, and most of the lights in the ward were automatically turned off. The bright room became dark, and things like cameras projected blue light to form a conference table.

There were more than a dozen participants, most of them were old people, who felt a little familiar, and all the young people were newcomers who had never seen it before.

Chen Xi looked around and said, "How is the situation?"

Someone said: "We don't know the details, you can ask Suguang, or Ms. Say, we are all doing research."

"The situation is not very good. The spies planted by various countries have leaked the news that the artificial starch has been mass-produced. The council members are already approaching the city, trying to force us to hand over the technology."

"Spy?" Chen Xi murmured.

"Dawn, did you find anything unusual?"

"No, the only possibility I have calculated is the news leaked by Sophon of Trisolaran, intending to trigger human civil war."

Chen Xi shrugged helplessly, "Okay, give me a brief introduction to the world situation first."

"The vegetation coverage rate of Blue Star is less than one ten thousandth. Ecological problems have caused 30 billion people to die of famine. All regimes outside the council have collapsed. Even if the government exists, it is useless."

"The Space Force is semi-independent."

"The development focus of the member countries has changed, focusing on solving the famine problem. They are building large-scale underground greenhouses. At the same time, they have also built a hibernation center, and randomly draw lots to send people to the future."

"There are currently 3000 million people in hibernation."

Both projects require resources, where do they come from?Of course it is the Antarctic. What will happen if the Antarctic is developed?
The 3000 million places to escape from the sea of ​​suffering is insignificant compared to the 40 billion people. Chen Xi asked suspiciously:

"Has anyone ever been killed by someone who didn't get the lottery?"

Shuguang: "Yes, they are all dead."

It can't be done by humans, so: "Together with the council members, how many human-dominated troops are there?"

"50, of which 30 are the Space Force."

Say said: "The food problem makes countries unable to support the army, and the omnic armed force replaces the conventional army."

There is one thing she didn't say, that is, machines are far more obedient than thinking humans.

A picture appeared on the white wall: above the refugee tide, there were countless drones, shooting and killing some people from time to time.

A certain country's tank troops were randomly killed by a row of laser vehicles, and the fighter plane was crashed by a supersonic drone...

In the dark, Chen Xi showed a gloomy smile, how dare you, don't you know it was made by Suguang Technology?
After a while, Say continued: "Mr. Chen Xi, there have been rebels in the past few years, but they were all suppressed."

"At the same time, we have completely lost the databases of games and movies on all continents, and the optical cables connecting the supercomputing centers of the eight branches of Suguang brain-like brains have been cut off. Now we can only use satellite signals to determine whether the supercomputing centers have been invasion."

(The brain-inspired supercomputing center operates unmanned. When a person is detected, it will immediately start the self-destruct program.)
This is a sanction against Sugon Technology for supporting the rebels overtly and covertly.

"The gap in force is like a chasm."

The director of the Armed Forces Department said: "Sir, although we have nuclear bombs, we have no chance of winning against the council members."

"The two countries master ball lightning weapons, which can instantly destroy the neuron chips of omnics and even the warheads of nuclear bombs through specially modulated macroatoms."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's not that we have to fight. Human civilization can't stand the devastation of war now."

"Contact the PDC and negotiate tomorrow."

"Then, who will succeed Mr. Gould? Report on the progress of the new human project."

A young man raised his hand and said adoringly, "Mr. Chen Xi, my name is Bai Ruide, a new human being!"

"Of course, it's not the kind of new human being you imagined. I currently only have the ability to photosynthesize."

"I am a clone made by Mr. Gould using his own cells, although our genes are completely different."

Chen Xi asked suspiciously: "How old are you?"

"I was born in 32, and I just became an adult this year. Don't question my ability. I am also the result of the talent instillation project. The neuron structure of my brain has been adjusted for ten years, and finally I have obtained the three A super talent, the mathematical space is Dr. Wei Cheng's mathematical talent."

"By the way, absolute pitch is my own choice."

"I'm working hard now to live past 50!"

Experiment?Why are you so cheerful?
Chen Xi was a little puzzled, picked up the tablet on the table to inquire, and the answer was the education of the big data personality profiling system.

"The cause of short life is a genetic problem?"

Ruide nodded and said: "Yes, as we grow older, the problems of the new human genome are gradually revealed, and our Institute of Human Genetic Engineering is doing our best to carry out the error correction project."

"Understood, whether human beings can live longer depends on you, and complete the first-generation new human project as soon as possible."

As he said that, Chen Xi looked at a familiar face: "Mr. Eagleman, can indoctrination be applied to ordinary humans?"

The old man shook his head, "No, the compensatory function of the new human brain and the repair function of brain neurons are far stronger than ours, so we can change the structure of the brain nerves little by little, without becoming a fool, a vegetable, or die."

"Our brain neurons are permanent cells, and when they die, they die, and changing the structure of neurons is an extremely crude act that can kill brain neurons on a large scale."

"The compensatory ability is not good enough. Forced surgery may have side effects such as loss of language ability. If there is no repair ability, it is slowly killing your own brain."

Chen Xi frowned. A breakthrough was made in the key plan, but he couldn't apply it to himself.

Inquire about the New Human Project, which is recruiting volunteers.

"Mr. Brad, the principle of transforming old humans into new humans?"

"Ah~, it's simple, take out some spinal cord to modify its genes, and then inject them back into the subject's body."

Ruide called up the city surveillance system, there are a lot of white hairs.

"The modified spinal cord is like a cancer cell, it will quickly devour the subject's spinal cord, and then gradually differentiate into new red blood cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, white blood cells, muscle cells, etc. in the process of metabolism to replace the original cells."

In other words, you created universal cells?
"The artificial gene chain of new human cells is prone to errors during the replication process. The current job of our Institute of Genetic Engineering is to continuously eradicate the cancers that appear in the subjects' bodies."

"When the gene chain becomes stable during replication, the first generation of new human engineering will be successful."

Chen Xi thought for a long time, and said, "I want to transform into a new human being, so let's prepare."

The whole audience was shocked, and everyone spoke up to dissuade them, it was too dangerous, so Chen Xi turned off their microphones:

"I said, go get ready."
