The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 52: Originally (top)

"If you can't make the journey anymore, it will be too late, dear father." The male and Chengyin added a little anxious tone, "There are only 9 hours, 23 minutes and 20 seconds left before the official release of'World'. If you don't arrive as soon as possible gtc headquarters, you can no longer prevent the sale from proceeding."

"Wait a minute." Brandon Bartholomew raised his palm and signaled the speaker to be quiet, and the Aston Martin sports car became quiet, only the passing cars on the highway next to it were disturbing. Tranquility, "You say it again, Tian Lan." The old man grabbed the phone and adjusted it to the private mode, trembling his fingers to the earpiece,

Wu Tianlan repeated calmly over the phone: "Gu Tie is not an orphan in Tel Aviv, Israel, Brandon, he is a child of Genesis."

The old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, pressing his left hand firmly on his chest to suppress the aching heart, "Tell me the details, Tian Lan, I know you can't lie, but it's hard to believe." After finishing this sentence, he clutched his phone and whispered: "Do you know this? We spent so much energy searching for the secret of his life. Is the answer right here, and you choose not to tell me the truth?" /

"No, dear father." The synthesized sound became sharp due to emotional excitement, or a sudden peak in the output level, "'deception' is a characteristic of human behavior. That will never happen to me. Even if the universe explodes, time collapses, and matter ends, I will not deceive you, dear father."

Dr. Bartholomew’s eye wrinkles twitched unconsciously: "I believe you will not lie to me, but you have concealed some things, some things that you will never take the initiative to explain if I don’t ask about it. For so many years , You have been avoiding the first-person pronoun'I', because you said that artificial intelligence based on the principle of quantum entanglement is a fuzzy quantum cloud, which cannot be used to refer to personality in the singular, but you just said'I' The wording is still twice in a row, which shows that you are eager to wash away the suspicion from yourself, stepping away from a neutral perspective, and clearing the relationship between you and the things you are concealing,... oh, this' cold reading 'The technique was given to me by Wu Tianlan, Gu Tie also learned some..."

"No, please believe me, dear father, this is definitely not against your wishes, but for some kind of..." Synthesizer was still anxiously defending, the old man reached out and pressed the mute button of the car audio.

Wu Tianlan said at this time: "Brandon, what I said next is of great importance. You must listen calmly and forget it after listening, otherwise the whole world will change because of this. You know, Today's biotechnology and genetics technology, it is very simple to create any kind of organism out of nothing. According to the genetic map, the DNA genetic factors are artificially customized, and the nucleus cells are formed through the injection of stem cells, and then the biological embryos are produced through continuous division. , The embryo grows in an artificial body, and it will not take long to be born, grow up, and run around."

"Yes, of course, with the help of quantum computers, mankind has broken through and deciphered the genes of all living things on the earth." said Dr. Bartholomew,

"But since Mary Shelley wrote the first science fiction in human history, genetic modification of humans has always been a forbidden zone in biological sciences. To prevent the birth of Frankenstein, the Science Ethics Committee strictly prohibits Any experiment related to human genes is not allowed to produce cloned babies. In the era of quantum networks, no large-scale scientific research institution can do independent research without the aid of the calculation of "Genesis", which brings great convenience to supervision. The committee’s monitoring results show that human genetic research has never crossed that invisible red line.” Wu Tianlan said, “but there is a loophole in this. What if it is not companies and institutions that conduct human trials, but Genesis itself? , The supervision is useless, because it was Genesis himself who submitted the report to the committee."

The old man's heart stopped beating abruptly, "Wait a minute, Tian Lan, I know that there is indeed an organization undergoing human transformation experiments. Since you know the existence of ghost organizations, you must know the Brotherhood well, Chi The "Lucifer" of the Brotherhood of Owl is the department of human modification experiments. They created new humans with genetic mutations, "Sons of God", giving humans a special power that transcends common sense."

"Yes, but not only that." Wu Tianlan said, "I will talk about this topic later. What I am talking about is not a test of printing potential through genetic mutations, but a'customized' human beings. Thirty years ago The project, code-named "Isittab", was officially launched at the underground research center on the shores of Lake Chapala outside Guadalajara, Mexico. Forty-four biology, genetics, and Genetic engineering experts were called here to carry out this one-year secret project. No one knows who the convener is, but the favorable conditions make it impossible to refuse. Unlimited research funding and millions of dollars in subsidies make four Fourteen people are willing to endure a life of isolation for twelve months. The research center is located in an underground building by the Chapala Lake. In addition to sunlight, it has all the necessary facilities for life, such as restaurants, lounges, residences, and hospitals. , There is even a gym with a swimming pool and a school. By the way, the name'Isittab' comes from a **** in ancient Mayan mythology. She is the sacrificial goddess who guards suicide among the nine Mayan gods, , The **** of suicide."

Dr. Bartholomew said: "You know the plan so much, are you also involved in it... No, you are only forty years old now, and you were a kid at that time."

Wu Tianlan said: "I am forty-five years old this year. You must have seen my file. It records all the energy of my birth, growing up, studying, and work. It is all made up. My father's name His name is Wu Zichan, a senior researcher at the Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a global leader in the field of genetic engineering."

"Ah, zack　wu." The old man suddenly remembered a name, "I know him, he was a popular candidate for the Nobel Prize in Biology back then, but not long after he left the Chinese Academy of Sciences, news of his death in a car accident came out. Afterwards, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded him posthumous awards. Did he participate in the Isitabu Project."

"Yes." The voice on the other end of the phone couldn't hear the sadness and joy. "At that time, my mother had advanced type iii leukemia. Ordinary therapy could not save her life. My father contacted a genetic engineering company in the United States. The mother sent it for an experimental systemic leukocyte gene modification therapy. This therapy was considered very effective, but extremely expensive. The father’s meager allowance from the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not be afforded. At this time, the invitation letter for the Isitabu project was sent to Beijing. After only thinking for a few seconds, he resigned from his position at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, smuggled out of the country (his secrecy level prevented him from leaving China through normal channels) to Mexico, and reported to the project leader at the Chapala Lakeside base that he wanted to send me I stayed in Beijing to continue school, but I refused because the domestic media described him as a traitor who defected to a foreign country with top-secret scientific and technological intelligence. I couldn't survive alone in that environment."

"Forty-four experts..." Dr. Bartholomew murmured, "The people who participated in the Isitabu project died in the end, and they were concealed by accidents."

Wu Tianlan said quietly: "Yes, all the one hundred and sixty people who participated in this matter were completely dealt with. The Mexican base was completely destroyed by the plasma explosion."

"But you..."

"I'm still alive. A total of 24 people survived, including researchers, security guards, chefs, cleaners, and of course children like me. After swearing certain creeds and paying a certain price, We can continue to survive, but we will no longer live our lives ever since."

"...Please go on, Tian Lan."

Wu Tianlan paused, and continued: "The Isitabu project is actually very simple. It is to create humans from scratch and use the best human gene fragments as much as possible to create excellent and balanced genes with strong and balanced intelligence, physical and mental power. , An unresolved DNA chain was asked to be added to the template. This was a request from the project convener. The researcher had no right to refuse. A total of 100 such genes were created. As the project progressed, 100 genes began to be implanted. The stem cells undergo the initial division, and one hundred artificial drugs are also ready. My father is responsible for the production of five sets of genes. His favorite is the one numbered w4-a. “This child will have an oriental copy when he grows up. The face is neither high nor low, neither fat nor thin, very smart, and very sensible. He is the type of guy who can complete any task.' At that time, he pointed to the composite picture on the screen and proudly said to me. I took a look. , I thought that face was a bit scary, so he said, "Dad, is he very fierce, looks like he is about to bite," Father said with a smile, "You can really see it, because of his genetic design." It must be absolutely rational. Such people will act according to the principle of maximizing benefits. They have no ideas of good and evil. They are cold and funny machines.' I complained:'This is not good at all. What we want to make is human beings. It’s not a machine, boys are only cute with a smile on their faces,'"

The old man was surprised: "Can you go in and out of the laboratory at will."

"Anyway, the news can’t get out. The base is a completely sealed off room. The convener doesn’t mind the children staying with the research institute.,,, father listened to me, if he thought about it for a few nights, Then the w4-b genome was created. The people on the composite map look bad, with a smile on the corners of the mouth, and innocent and cunning eyes. We all like this result very much."
