Chapter 838 Silent Sniping
The generational change taking place in the middle of the 21st century is an unprecedented process.It is the first time that humans have completely altered the genes of their race.Human beings have changed from "Homo sapiens" to "Baseline Man" who is reproductively isolated from Homo sapiens.

This is the first time in history that there are truly "two kinds of humans".Although in history, when ethnic groups with large differences in appearance came into contact, there have been many times when "one party does not regard the other as human beings" or "both parties regard each other as 'other than human'".But in most cases, those ancient people knew that offspring could be produced between themselves and other ethnic groups, and there was no "reproductive isolation".Even between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, there is a phenomenon of interbreeding.

However, there is a real reproductive isolation between the benchmark human and Homo sapiens.

But what is amazing is that there is an undeniable blood relationship between the first generation of benchmark humans and Homo sapiens.The chromosomes of this generation of benchmark humans, in which the information is copied from their own in the age of Homo sapiens.They have blood ties with their parents.

Humanity has never encountered anything like this.After the Europeans officially invented "nationalism", humans have been used to describing everything in terms of "nation" for hundreds of years.On a higher level, however, Yawgmoth created a collection.

This fact has a powerful impact on the cognition of human society.

The entire middle of the 21st century is a magnificent era.Even the impact of the world war on mankind is far less than this event.

And in this wave, the original vested interests can no longer grasp what they have in hand.When the benchmark people account for more than half of the total human population, the benchmark people urgently need a group that speaks for the benchmark group.A politician who is a standard person will naturally be more supported by a standard person.

After the superior abilities of the benchmark person's biological level are gradually revealed, most of the remaining population who can become the benchmark person will want to become the benchmark person.

And as time goes by, the proportion of Homo sapiens in the human population will continue to decline-for no other reason, the growth cycle of the benchmark human is regulated using the genetic information of Homo sapiens.But benchmark humans live too long.

With the expansion of the number of benchmark humans, the scale of agriculture for Homo sapiens will continue to shrink, and the cost of living of Homo sapiens will further increase.

And with the docking of public services and smart prosthetics, the life of Homo sapiens will become more convenient.

Xiang Shan had predicted this point a long time ago.He does not intend to use laws and decrees to force humans to change their species.But this kind of change caused by the objective laws of the economy, he does not intend to stop it.

The volunteers for the benchmarking surgery are mostly disabled people, and then there are technology upstarts who have made a lot of money at a young age.This small group of people have made a lot of money in the business field by relying on research and development.They are quite trusting in technology, and they also feel that the picture Xiangshan described is the future, so they try their best to insert themselves into the team of "volunteers for able-bodied people".

In addition, there are volunteers from academia and technology enthusiasts.They are all optimistic about the benchmark, but they are worried that the cost of follow-up surgery will not be reduced, so they are willing to be the last batch of volunteers for clinical trials.

The first batch of beneficiaries of the promotion came from African countries.

In fact, this point was not promoted by Xiangshan, but several heads of African countries came to him on their own initiative.And their reasons are surprisingly consistent, that is, these warriors who came to power by the army suddenly felt that the superhuman enterprise represented the future of mankind, and planned to follow up at this time.

After careful investigation, these countries seem to have received a sum of aid from those big countries in recent years, and the amount is a bit ambiguous.

Xiang Shan knew this well, but he was "uncommonly confused".

With the transformation of the benchmark man, Superman Enterprises has also established localization agencies in those countries.The localization agencies of these superhuman enterprises brought technology and information from the outside world.

People who were prostheticized first realized that the tyrant's gun didn't seem so scary anymore.

In the next ten years, these small countries basically changed their heads of state, and they looked much more normal.

According to Xiang Shan's estimate, this should be the "no problem" coverage of genetic surgery.In each of the volunteer’s operations, biological samples were regularly collected and sent to Yawgmoth’s laboratory for testing.

Yawgmoth also personally attended the first batch of benchmark human surgeries to be promoted in Africa, conducting random checks on the recipients.

At this stage, the thief who stole the country has not had a chance to do anything.

No, in hindsight, maybe they did it at this stage.

For quite a long time, Xiang Shan has been regarded by various big countries as a guy who is "good at painting cakes". "Good at storytelling" and "good at making PPT" are the labels on Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan is indeed very good at telling stories and making PPTs, but it was only in the 40s that human beings realized that this man has more than this ambition.

After the series of successes achieved by Superman Enterprise in African countries, the military of the major powers took the lead in rolling out the transformation surgery, and quickly promoted it to the civilian population.

And personnel and funds from various countries were quickly injected into this already huge cross-border enterprise.

At this moment, Xiang Shan believes that most of the historical mission of Superman Enterprise has been completed, and after the "prostheticization" is fully rolled out, it is necessary to pass anti-monopoly rules to allow various countries to split up Superman Enterprise, so he is very concerned about this group. People who are suspected of having a background in a big country eat it all.

Xiang Shan confirmed this through the news.

He used Zhu Xinyu's computer and back door to obtain news that he hadn't noticed.

For example, the accidental death of several wealthy people.

For example, military coups in several countries in Africa.

These things are not too unusual.But Xiang Shan quickly found something in common.

In these incidents, the deceased were the original volunteers or the recipients of the first batch of operations.

To be precise, it is an individual in that group who has management skills, military skills or professional technical knowledge.

Out of admiration, Xiang Shan had met these people more than ten years ago.They are either wavers surfing on the cusp of the times, or idealists who are determined to change the poor destiny of their own country.Xiang Shan had a high opinion of them.

Then, they die.

This is conscious sniping.

Xiang Shan went to look for information on other volunteers.He found the names of some people in the corners of the news and in the archives of the police station.

Car accidents, missteps, drownings, fires...

and whereabouts are unknown.
