Son of the Stars

Chapter 91
Researchers engaged in agronomy have some distinctive characteristics.For example, the deep love for the people and the passionate desire to improve people's quality of life.

And not so... strict scientific research ethics and moral literacy.

This is not to say that experts in the agronomy industry are all psychopaths. This is actually an occupational disease—whether it is plants or animals, breeding and training itself is a matter of breaking some conventional moral and ethical concepts.

For example, the traits of some varieties are stable backcross, hybridization, recrossing... Although these words seem normal.But if the plants or animals involved in the cultivation of traits are changed into humans...

Then these experimental records can only be reflected in various sentencing documents recording crimes against humanity - and they must have a reading age, and those under 23 are not allowed to read.

Having dealt with all kinds of cross-species and hybrid backcrosses of the same species for a lifetime, Yuan Siping's thinking... is indeed more "out of the box" than ordinary people.

But this idea is too "sci-fi".

"Academician Yuan... calm down." The first person to speak was Yang Weimin, who was already in a cold sweat from Yuan Siping's thoughts, "It's useless to induce the cloned brain to come out! Watanabe and the brain of NO.14 They can function normally and independently in an artificial environment because they come from humans with normal thinking ability and sound personality. The brain cloned from scratch is of no value, even if it is completely in shape to meet the size of an adult, but inside it Like a newborn baby - useless!"

"The human brains cultivated in this way can only be used as basic computing units—in fact, they may not even be able to undertake this kind of work." Tang Qinglong added, "The human brain is too fragile, too complex and fickle. Thousands of thoughts burst forth at once, and then they are all forgotten. But when it is concentrated on the calculation of one thing, it is not even better than an abacus."

Almost instantly, the two experts gave the most standard answer of "why the human brain should not be used for research work".

"Although I'm getting old, I haven't reached the point where I'm old and foolish." Yuan Siping clicked on the mahjong tiles in front of him, "There are some things that you at this level really can't touch... If I want to explain everything now It would be a waste of time. Let the professionals do it."

Yuan Siping pressed the button on the table and then ordered, "Ask Consultant Tong to come over."

After about 5 minutes, a man wearing a full white mask, a specialty of the Mediterranean region, opened the door and walked in.After seeing the furnishings in the room, he asked in confusion, "Three missing one? Mr. Yuan, it's working time now."

"I asked you to come here for business." Yuan Siping waved his hand, motioning the consultant Tong to sit down in the only vacant seat, "Let me introduce first, this is from the School of Engineering, the School of Science, the School of Physics and the School of Aerospace Science and Technology. Academician Tang Qinglong. This is..." He looked at Yang Weimin, thought for a while and said, "Yang Weimin will be the chairperson of the Transplantation Branch of the Medical Association."

"That is to say, none of them are outsiders." Advisor Tong nodded, "Do I need to reveal my identity now? Or wait until they start their shifts?"

"Let's start now." Yuan Siping nodded, "If you don't find out your identity first, the two of them will call me an old fool!"

Consultant Tong stood up and nodded towards Yang Weimin and Tang Qinglong with the mask on. Then he put his hands on his temples, pressed lightly, and took off the mask on his face.

A familiar face appeared in front of Yang Weimin and Tang Qinglong.

"Hello, both of you. My name is Tong Xinge, and I am the No. 2 clone of Wenger Cheklavsky." This face looked to be at least 50 or [-] years old, but when this person spoke and acted, he had a smile on his face. A strange "vigor" that doesn't match her age. "I'm currently on the Academic Council, with my two brothers as a senior advisor."

Yang Weimin's mouth opened wide. He looked at this strange yet familiar face and said nothing for a long time.

Tang Qinglong's reaction was a little faster, he stood up abruptly from his seat, "You...you and NO.14..."

"Yes, we are all the result of the copying of the original body." Tong Xinge smiled slightly, "But I have not met them directly. The first batch of copies were made by the original body. There are only six of us brothers left. Next four."

"Consultant Tong has been cooperating with the coalition government for 20 years, and he is our reliable friend." Yuan Siping explained Tong Xinge's identity, and then said, "My idea can be realized, and the root of realization lies in Consultant Tong. and his two brothers."

"They are professionals who are most proficient in digitizing personality and using brain-computer interface in the entire coalition government." Yuan Siping's eyes began to shine again, "Without personality and corresponding professional knowledge, the brain trained by orientation is just a puddle of fat Meat. But they give the brain its most important substance—the key to making a piece of meat a person.”

"Smart genes, as many as you want!" Yuan Siping waved his hand, as if thousands of troops were about to go to war, "Over the past 30 years, there have been more than 270 experts with special allowances who have signed donation agreements. The process of the great collapse Among them, Wenger has collected more than 6 digital personalities, and at least 800 experts engaged in scientific research."

"We can even try to figure out the most suitable combination—what kind of personality and what kind of brain work together to create the most suitable combination for researching this kind of problem." When Yuan Siping talked about this kind of combination, it seemed that he was talking about how to Carry out grafting cuttings to the fruit trees on the hillside.

Yang Weimin couldn't bear it anymore, he tried to persuade, "Academician Yuan, we are far from having to do such an extreme approach. Combining a digital personality and a brain... Isn't this creating a human being?"

"What's the point?" Yuan Siping asked back with a frown, "I didn't provide bodies for these brains, and I won't claim any rights for them. They are just tools, tools for studying a danger that actually threatens human society. "

"What does such a tool have to do with making people?" Yuan Siping pressed the shuffle button on the mahjong table, and pushed all the mahjong tiles on the table into the belly of the table. "You are still young, don't always be rigid in the thinking of those rules and regulations."

Yang Weimin was stunned and didn't know what to say, but Tang Qinglong took over the conversation and continued to persuade.

In fact, even Tong Xinge persuaded, "Injecting a digital personality into the brain itself is very risky, and we haven't figured out the matching principle between personality and brain. If we do it now, it will only be a waste of time." A lot of time and money, and then you get a lot of fat that doesn't even count 1+1."

"The risk of writing a digital personality into a directional training brain is too great. Even the original body has only succeeded six times." Tong Xinge persuaded, "Of the more than 200 replicas whose brain structure is exactly the same as the original body, only 3 % was able to successfully write the personality of the Primarch. Of the six people who were successfully written, only one did maintain the same cognition as him-but the IQ is still flawed."

Tong Xinge put on his mask again and said, "I will unconditionally implement every order of the committee, but as an advisor to the committee, I must remind you - this kind of plan is too risky and the benefits are too low. It is not suitable for Our current crisis."

"There are only two roads in front of us, and this is the first one." Yuan Siping spread his hands, annoyed as if an old farmer had really lost his way in the face of a severe drought, "The second one is to directly The whole society made it public and told everyone, 'We are all bombs, and no one knows when it will blow up. The equivalent is [-] tons, and the whole family will be killed?'”

This rhetorical question also chilled the atmosphere at the scene.The South, West, and North families looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to these words.

Tong Xinge thought for a while, and pressed the sign-up button in front of him, "Why don't we come for two laps to relax first, and then think about it in the long run?"
