Chapter 399 Individual Differences

Simbeck held a piece of data in his hand, which showed the tracking status of the 10 volunteers who participated in primary evolution.

[Li Guocai: Volunteer No. 2, physical fitness...brain...life...]

[…]

Looking at the three-month tracking data of these 10 volunteers, everything is under control. Their physical condition and genes are very stable, and there is no degeneration or mutation.

These data reflect the detailed situation of the volunteers in the past three months. At this time, 5.4% of the dimorphic genes in their genes were successfully activated.

Why 5.4% of dimorphic genes are activated instead of other values ​​is because this 5.4% of dimorphic genes is the result of Li Hanshen and Simback's calculations through billions of genetic simulations.

Activating 5.4% of dimorphic genes is the most appropriate, safest and gentlest balance value.

If it is less than this value, the primary evolutionary effect of dimorphic genes will be greatly reduced; if it exceeds 5.4%, although the effect may be improved, the risk will rise sharply.

The Science and Technology Commission has conducted careful research and analysis on the way forward for human evolution, and determined the general line of focusing on brain enhancement and life extension, with physical improvement as a supplement. Safe evolution is the evolution that new humans need.

If the risk is very high, for example, the Illuminati's divine blood potion suddenly increased the life level and physical fitness, but the mortality rate was as high as 40 to 50%.

Obviously this is a semi-failed evolution plan, and the core theme of strengthening is not placed on the brain. After successfully evolving, the lizard people who used the divine blood potion only had a brain evolution level of 2 to 3%.

Far worse than primary evolution, primary evolution can increase the degree of human brain evolution to 50% to 60%. This is a process of qualitative change.

The intelligence of the 10 volunteers has improved astonishingly, even much stronger than what Li Hanshen and Simbeck predicted. If combined with a biological computer, their intelligence will instantly reach the level of top scientists such as Huang Mingzhe and Fang Ge.

You must know that although the talents of the new humans are generally similar, differences in individual preferences do exist, and the differences are sometimes obvious.

This situation is like adding points in the game, and the total point value of each person is 100.

Some people are strong in logical thinking, but not in abstract thinking; some people are comprehensive in everything, but appear to be very mediocre; some people are tone-deaf in music, but can be lifelike in art.

The primary evolution will not balance this situation, but will improve it overall, which is equivalent to changing the total point value from 100 to 150.

Because the Science and Technology Commission has conducted research on all human beings, the vast majority of people agree that individual differences should be preserved instead of individual uniformity.

In a healthy society, not all individuals are omniscient and omnipotent.

This is also reflected in religion. This is the difference between monotheism and polytheism. It is often reflected in the following: monotheism is exclusive, extreme and conservative, while polytheism is tolerant, moderate and keeps pace with the times.

The new humanity has the Supreme Will, a collection of all human wills. If all individuals are the same, then the Supreme Will will have no meaning in existence.

Because individual differences will bring about ideological diversity, social diversity, and evolutionary diversity, once individual genetic differences are eliminated, human development will completely stagnate.

That's why the Science and Technology Commission launched an "individually customizable" primary evolution plan. The purpose is to achieve human evolution while ensuring "individual differences."

Some people may wonder, does this evolutionary plan violate fairness and justice?

In fact, no civilization can be absolutely fair and just. There is always only relative fairness and justice.

This is also the meaning of the existence of the supreme will, so that individual differences and overall fairness can achieve a relatively balanced state.

Chapter 77 of the "Tao Te Ching" says this: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage; the way of man is not the same, to make up for the deficiency when there is damage."

In the new human society, the function of the highest will is the way of heaven, and the individual is the way of humanity. The two cannot lose balance.

Because the way of heaven is too absolute, it will lead to the decline of humanity, which will lead to the solidification of society and stagnant development (similar to the social state of late Chilucia).

If human nature is too strong, it will make it difficult to balance the law of heaven, which will lead to social chaos and the law of the jungle (similar to the big capital society in the United States).

After learning from the experiences and lessons of the AD era, New Humanity has been fine-tuning the entire society. On the premise of encouraging individual differentiated development, it also makes full use of the highest will to achieve a rebalancing of social resources.

Today, 31 years after the New Era, the new human society with a population of 4.6 billion has curbed the birth and living environment of big capitalists.

Rich people who are worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions or hundreds of billions will not appear in this society.

According to the statistics of the Service Commission in recent years, the overall income level within the new human race can be divided into four ranges.

Those with an annual income of 50,000 to 200,000 account for 24.7%; those with an annual income of 200,000 to 1 million account for 52.6%; those with an annual income of 1 million to 10 million account for 22.3%; those with an annual income of more than 10 million account for 0.4%.

It can be seen from here that the middle class and petty bourgeoisie account for 74.9% of society, while the low-income group only accounts for 24.7%, and only 0.4% can reach those with an annual income of more than 10 million.

Moreover, the high-income group of the new human race has an obvious characteristic, that is, scientists make up the majority, especially those scientists who hold a large number of patents.

For example, Huang Mingzhe, Fang Ge, Ma Zhili and others can achieve high income by relying on patents.

Overall, the new humanity has eliminated poverty, achieved relative equity in education and knowledge, and ensured everyone’s basic needs.

The difference between the consumption of high-income groups and the consumption of low-income groups is that it mainly focuses on investment in scientific research, culture and entertainment, travel, and customized services. In other aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the difference is not too big.

"Sim."

Simbek put down the document and turned his chair: "What's wrong?"

"This is the list of the next batch of volunteers." Li Hanshen shared a document.

Simbek flipped through the pages and suddenly raised his head in surprise: "Are you planning to participate too?"

"There is no problem with the safety of primary evolution. I plan to participate because I need wisdom." Li Hanshen's firm tone was filled with obvious enthusiasm.

Simbeck also has some excitement. Judging from the observation data of 10 volunteers in the past few months, after the primary evolution is completed, the brain will evolve.

For a scientist, the attraction of brain evolution is fatal. They all long to step into the door of truth.

But after thinking about it, Simbeck suppressed the idea of ​​participating in the second batch of experiments with Li Hanshen. After all, he and Li Hanshen were the project leaders, and one person had to control the overall situation.

"I will arrange everything, feel free to participate in the experiment!"

Li Han smiled deeply and nodded: "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?"

"By the way, there's one more thing." Li Hanshen suddenly remembered something: "It's about experimental civilization."

Simbek looked puzzled: "Experimental civilization?"

"The Science and Technology Committee plans to learn from engineering civilization and sow some experimental civilization, and it needs our help." Li Hanshen explained.

"I see, what do we need to prepare?"

"I'll just take a few people over for two months. I'll leave you to keep an eye on the work here."

Simbek made an OK gesture.

Thank you for your support, and thank you book friend "Qingtianyi" for your reward (ω｀)
