Chapter 41 Super Human
“Pangu, why has the theoretical knowledge related to genes and humans been pushed to a very advanced level, but there are almost no gene-related technology applications on the market?”
AI's help in gene deciphering is tsunami-level. In 2023, the first year of the official release of ChatGPT, Google and deepmind jointly launched AlphaMissense, which successfully predicted 71 million missense mutations.
Not to mention the emergence of Super AI Alpha and the iteration of chip technology, theoretical research on genes has reached a point where ordinary people cannot reach the forefront of theoretical research on genes without relying on knowledge downloads for twenty years. .
However, judging from public information, genetic technology is still stuck in the fields of gene sequencing and genetic diagnosis. The application of genetic technology in agriculture and animal husbandry is much more science fiction.
Chen Yuanguang knew that this was definitely not normal, and he chose to ask Pangu first after careful consideration.
Pangu is the collective name for artificial intelligence in the Asia-Pacific region. They can make inquiries through web pages. They are not even Pangu's clones. They are just chat robots built using the same technical framework as Pangu.
The opportunity for dialogue with Pangu that Chen Yuanguang had redeemed through his family's contribution was a more advanced and intelligent Pangu.
Chen Yuanguang is asking Pangu now. Even if this question is out of line, the grassroots artificial intelligence will not think it is abnormal.
“Theoretical research on genes and the application of genetic technology are two different things. Gene-related technologies are too dangerous. For the sake of global human safety, genetic technology is subject to a high degree of confidentiality control.”
Pangu's answer once again verified Chen Yuanguang's guess. In his opinion, in order to maintain social stability, or maintain the foundation of rule, Alpha would not allow uncontrolled super humans to appear.
However, he still had a lot of unanswered questions. Chen Yuanguang believed that Samad was a very good source of information just because of his background of being opposed to Alpha and his high social status.
Chen Yuan Guang has been in Kuala Lumpur in the future time and space for half a year. The real people he saw at the University of Malaya either looked like students who were fascinated by the day and night, or they had other words written all over their faces. To bother my professor.
Compared with them, the neurotic Samad was considered a normal person. The background of a fanatical religious believer in the old days made Chen Yuanguang feel friendly.
“Professor, I recently feel that my IQ is not enough, and I want to change my intelligence in some ways.
From what I understand, gene editing technology is a more convenient method. Humans have discovered gene fragments that affect intelligence many years ago, such as FOXO3, FMRP, etc., but I searched online and found no one that performs related surgeries. of institutions.
Do you know why? "
Chen Yuanguang is able to insist on coming to class every week, and plays the role of an audience after the lecture, which satisfies Samad's desire for expression. The two parties have a certain foundation of mutual trust.
Samad Mud took out the hookah and took a sip, and then the smoke was drawn into a line through the vent on his head, making it look like he was out of body.
"Gene technology is only a short term in your general knowledge class. In short, genetic technology is very dangerous.
In fact, during World War III, each country had its own super soldiers, and these super soldiers were created based on genetic technology.
The more we fought, the more we discovered that the competition was about productivity and AI computing power. Super soldiers could not even decide a battle, let alone decide a war.
They began to change their research direction and focus on improving intelligence. In that era, many scientists with superior intelligence had more or less experienced gene editing.
After Alpha successively took over government functions and scientific research institutions in various places, he blocked the relevant technologies on the grounds of security. You need to raise your citizen level to a certain level to unlock relevant information. "Samad continued: "The danger is an obvious reason. It is true that after undergoing gene editing to significantly increase their IQ, their mental stability has become abnormal. The higher the IQ, the greater the fluctuation, and there are many suicides.
But AI does not want super humans to appear. For AI, super humans will seriously affect stability. "
Chen Yuanguang thought: "Affect stability? Does it mean that there will be a gap between super humans and humans, who think they are not the same race? Does this difference lead to social instability? "
Seeing that Samad didn't want to continue talking, Chen Yuanguang asked: "Isn't there a way to improve intelligence that will not affect the spirit and improve intelligence during the three wars that lasted so long? "
Samad took a deep look at Chen Yuanguang, and then said: "Of course.
Some countries have found that breathing techniques can stabilize people's minds. Some breathing techniques combined with gene editing can even produce unexpected mutations.
Even during the Third World War, human news still reported this matter vigorously, and the Chinese believed that the era of cultivation had arrived.
Traditional countries, even if there are confrontations between them, still unite to promote this research. I am not sure about the final research results.
I guess there won’t be too much splash. Anyway, it still can’t beat AI. The limitations of the physical body determine that no matter how hard they strengthen, there is no way to increase their abilities with Alpha who can increase their computing power.
If you want to get relevant information, you can try to go to the Lion City. The Lion City is very close to here. As a third-party zone, the Lion City has relevant technologies.
But you can also ask Chen Dingsong. He will probably wake up the year after next. As a monster who has survived three wars until now, he will only know more than me, not less. ”
Chen Dingsong is the founder of the Chen family, and he relies on human hibernation technology to survive to this day.
Chen Yuanguang recalled it and thought, "Chen Dingsong has only woken up once in twenty years, and he doesn't recognize me. When he wakes up, there will be so many people looking for him, will it be my turn?" "
"Professor, Alpha should also have relevant technology, right?" Chen Yuanguang wanted to ask more.
Samad's voice became a little hoarse because he had just finished smoking a hookah: "The genetic technology in Alpha's hands must be stronger than what is passed down in the Lion City.
The place in the Lion City where no one cares, They are all giant companies with ulterior motives, testing some laboratory technologies there. If the mature technologies are one or two hundred years old, how can they be compared with Alpha?
But the problem is that the technology in Alpha’s hands is not your turn. Don’t even think about it. Don’t talk about you. Even Lao Chen can’t get his turn. "
After a pause, Samad added: "It is said that super humans who have been modified by genetic technology have been sent to Mars by Alpha. "
After he finished speaking, he sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. No matter how much Chen Yuanguang asked, he didn't speak.
Chen Yuanguang knew that he had no chance to have this technology in Kuala Lumpur.
