Chapter 41 Super Human
"Pangu, why has the theoretical knowledge related to genes and humans been pushed to a very deep level, but there are almost no gene-related technical applications in the market?"

AI has provided tremendous help to gene decoding. In 2023, the first year when ChatGPT was officially released, Google and DeepMind jointly launched AlphaMissense, which successfully predicted 7100 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 genetic theory research even if they spend twenty years without downloading knowledge.

However, judging from public information, genetic technology is still in the fields of gene sequencing and genetic diagnosis, and its applications in agriculture and animal husbandry are much more sci-fi.

Chen Yuanguang knew that this was definitely not normal, and he decided to ask Pangu first after careful consideration.

Pangu is the general term for artificial intelligence in the Asia-Pacific region. Those who can make inquiries through the web page are not even Pangu's clones, but just chat robots built using the same technical framework as Pangu.

The opportunity to talk to Pangu, which Chen Yuanguang had previously exchanged through his family contribution, was a more advanced and intelligent Pangu.

The question Chen Yuanguang is asking Pangu now, even if the question is out of the ordinary, the basic artificial intelligence will not find it abnormal.

"Genetic theory research and genetic technology application are two different things. Gene-related technologies are too dangerous. For the safety of the global human race, 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 to maintain the foundation of its rule, Alpha would not allow the emergence of uncontrolled super humans.

However, he still has a lot of questions that have not been answered. Chen Yuanguang believes that just because of Samad's background of opposing Alpha and his high social status, he is a very good source of information.

Chen Yuanguang has been in Kuala Lumpur in the future for half a year. The real people he met in the University of Malaya were either students who were infatuated and didn't know the time of day or professors whose faces said "don't bother me".

Compared with them, the neurotic Samad was considered a normal person. Chen Yuanguang felt a sense of familiarity with the old-time religious fanatic.

“Professor, I recently feel that my IQ is not enough, and I want to change my intelligence in some way.

As far as I know, gene editing technology is a relatively convenient means. Humans discovered gene fragments that affect intelligence many years ago, such as FOXO3, FMRP, etc. However, when I searched online, I didn't find any institution that performs related operations.

Do you know why? "

Chen Yuanguang is able to insist on coming to class every week, and after the lecture he acts as an audience member to satisfy Samad's desire to express himself. There is a certain basis of mutual trust between the two parties.

Samad took out his hookah and took a puff, and the smoke was sucked into a line by the exhaust hole on the top of his head, making him look like his soul was leaving his body.

“Genetic technology is just a short sentence in your general knowledge class, and it 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.

But the more they fight, they realize that what is being competed for is productivity and AI computing power. Super soldiers can't even decide a battle, let alone a war.

They began to change their research direction and focus on improving intelligence. In that era, many intelligent scientists had experienced gene editing to a greater or lesser extent.

After Alpha took over the government functions and scientific research institutions in various places, he blocked the relevant technologies on the grounds of safety. You need to raise your citizen level to a certain level before you can unlock the relevant information. "Samad continued: "The danger is the obvious reason. Indeed, after experiencing gene editing to greatly improve their IQ, their mental stability has become abnormal. The higher the IQ, the greater the fluctuation. Many people commit suicide.

But AI does not want superhumans to appear. For AI, superhumans will seriously affect stability. "

Chen Yuanguang thought: "Affecting stability? Does it mean that there will be a gap between superhumans and humans, and they will think that they are not of the same race. Will this difference lead to social instability?"

Seeing that Samad didn't want to continue, Chen Yuanguang asked, "Is it possible that after the three wars lasted so long, there is no way to improve intelligence without affecting the spirit?"

Samad looked at Chen Yuanguang deeply, and then said, "Of course.

Some countries have found that breathing techniques can stabilize a person's mind, and some breathing techniques combined with gene editing can even produce unexpected mutations.

Even during World War III, human news still reported this event extensively, and the Chinese believed that the era of cultivation had arrived.

Traditional countries, even though there are conflicts among them, still unite to promote this research. I am not very clear about the final research results.

I don't think there will be much splash, because they still can't beat AI. The limitations of their physical bodies dictate that no matter how strengthened they are, they can't compare to Alpha, which can increase its capabilities by increasing computing power.

If you want to get relevant information, you can try to go to Lion City, which is very close to here. As a no-man's land, Lion City has relevant technology.

But you can also ask Chen Dingsong, he will probably wake up the year after next. As a monster who has survived the three wars, he will know more than me, not less. "

Chen Dingsong is the founder of the Chen family. He has survived to this day by relying on human hibernation technology.

Chen Yuanguang recalled and thought, "Chen Dingsong only wakes up once every twenty years, and he doesn't recognize me. When he wakes up, there will be so many people who want to find him. Will it be my turn?"

"Professor, Alpha should also have related technologies, right?" Chen Yuanguang wanted to inquire more.

Samad’s voice became a little hoarse from smoking a hookah: “The genetic technology in Alpha’s hands is definitely better than the one in Lion City.

Lion City is a lawless place full of giant companies with ulterior motives. They use some laboratory technology to test it. The mature technology is only one or two hundred years old. How can it be compared with Alpha?

But the problem is that Alpha's technology is not yours. Forget it. Not only you, but also Lao Chen. "

Samad paused for a moment and added, "It is said that all the super humans transformed by genetic technology were sent to Mars by Alpha."

After he finished speaking, he sat upright in a chair with his eyes closed and rested. No matter how much Chen Yuanguang asked, he would not speak again.

Chen Yuanguang knew that he would never be able to learn this technology in Kuala Lumpur.
