Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 300: Captain Star

This is the remote and remote Captain Star...

More than five hundred years ago, the "Golden Sun" spacecraft successfully reached this star field and brought interstellar colonists from the solar system.

All the planets here have not bred any living things, and of course the humans of the Golden Sun have not encountered any alien civilization.

Unfortunately, because of the political revolution, this branch of humanity broke out in a large-scale civil war. This series of civil wars greatly delayed the process of planetary development.

These painful memories are stories from three hundred years ago. The old generation gradually died, and the new generation took the torch, leading the entire civilization to move forward. .

After more than three hundred years of smooth development, this star field is like another "solar system", from mineral mining sites on the mining planet, to the interstellar shipyard on the main planet, to the nuclear fuel industrial base on the gaseous planet.

Even, a huge global accelerator can be seen on the surface of a planet!

The only difference from the earth’s 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 scientific scientists are discussing something.

"Yes, Mr. Captain. So far, the public welfare system has been implemented for three hundred years. According to public opinion surveys, most people hope that our next generation will be smarter and more creative. There is not much resistance to genetic adjustment..."

"A certain level of screening and adjustment is carried out during the fertilized egg period. Then, the next generation of children will undoubtedly be smarter. It is estimated that the overall intelligence can be increased by 11%. This is a huge improvement, far more than natural Filtering is much faster."

This gray-haired old gentleman also served as Captain Xu Peng immediately. He listened to the complete plan and asked cautiously: "Although all of us humans no longer give birth on their own. But in the artificial incubation room Sperm and eggs are still donated by citizens in society."

"I still have a few key points to ask..."

"The first thing is that when the gene is adjusted, it will move closer to the BIA genome sequence, right?"

The young man immediately replied: "Yes, it is true."

"So, after genetically adjusted humans, donated sperm and eggs, will there be problems? After modification, the genes of the entire human system will not collapse within a few decades, but if in thousands of years, how many After 10,000 years of reproduction, the entire genetic system has problems, and it is really 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 lasts until the fifth generation. After dozens or hundreds of generations, there will be problems. It is not clear for the time being."

"Furthermore, the implementation of genetic adjustments will indeed reduce the diversity of genes, which is another risk... Well, if we can find more high-quality genomes. For human intelligence, how should we improve? The progress of the research is too slow."

Xu Peng was silent, and did not reply for a while.

The reason for the eagerness to improve the overall IQ is that the development of science is becoming more and more difficult and slower.

Plus, the entire civilization is also controlling the population and keeping it at an appropriate level. If it is not for the level of genius of the whole people, it is really a bit unsustainable. However, blindly expanding the population will cause a decline in mobility, which is something that the senior civilized leaders do not want to see.

The long-term stagnation will inevitably lead to the loss of spiritual ideals and fighting spirit. Mankind can only rely on the results of victory in order to continue to flog itself forward.

But what makes people feel a headache is that human understanding of genes is still in a state of half-knowledge. This is the biggest problem. You can't move forward or retreat.

"Let's do it...the number of trial participants of the BIA genome temporarily cannot exceed 5% of the total number of people."

Xu Peng pondered for a long time and sighed, "Also... we have found a way to use the cosmic string to advance, and it is time to explore the outside world. This universe always has a more powerful alien civilization. Our difficult problems may be just a piece of cake for them..."

"Even if this kind of foreign exploration is very risky..."

He looked up in the direction of KIC8462852, Tabby Star.

The Dyson Sphere, it is there, proclaiming the destruction of the "Dark Forest Law" to the entire galaxy and proclaiming that "the universe can communicate".

If this Dyson ball is not found, humans are likely to still hide in their own tender country, arrogantly fantasizing that they are the only intelligent life in the universe.

"Captain, the plan for external exploration. We need a powerful interstellar fleet. From the main ship to the military spacecraft, it will take decades to build."

Xu Peng nodded: "The people will definitely support this plan."

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

"The educational content of the school needs to be adjusted."

Suddenly during such a lively discussion, the door of the office opened and a young man from the secretarial department walked in.

He exclaimed with a hint of excitement: "Mr. Captain!"

"What's the urgent matter?"

"It's not a matter of urgency." The young man said hurriedly: "Theoretically, Gliese 581 has received the information we sent in the past few hours! I don't know if the Earth Age people I have received these messages...I don’t know if they still exist, will they reply to us?"

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

Information?

Xu Peng was taken aback for a moment, and then came to realize that this was already a grand event more than 20 years ago.

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

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

"I don't think it will be so fast. It may take one or two hundred years." Another scientist said: "Earth Age arrived at Gliese 581. It's only a hundred years, right? Even if none of them suffered After frustration, this time is still not enough to develop oneself. Where can the productive forces build a large electromagnetic wave launching device?"

"Let’s make a bet~IndoMTL.com~200 years."

"Lao Yu, you may not survive for two hundred years."

"Then one hundred and fifty years, what is the bet, let me think..."

A group of people even made a bet on this, but none of them is less than a hundred years old. Because even the Golden Age has taken so long to develop before it has enough redundant productivity to transmit information.

This is really a lifelong gamble.

Xu Peng sighed again, "Yes, it's okay to reply later... I just hope that our information can help them."

I also hope that in the rest of my life, I can wait for the news of the Earth Age.

Even if you lose the bet... it's okay.

In the vast universe, if it is really known that there is another human branch, it is really a very warm thing...
