Chapter 463 Final Decision
This day is also a very important day.
More and more government officials, senators, experts, and even some public representatives gathered in the central conference hall of the new government building. They all looked solemn and hurried to their seats.
Such a large-scale meeting... has not been held for a long time.
The new human civilization is facing a huge choice.
They are discussing a major event related to themselves, the future, and the race...
That is... "National Superhuman Implementation Plan"!
"Should perfect element be used by everyone? All ordinary people are transformed into superhumans? This is the issue we are going to discuss today." Yu Yifeng stood on the stage and said seriously.
"Is it implemented immediately or shelved?!"
For so many years, humans have increased the conversion success rate of perfect element to more than 99.99%.
But there is still no progress in its research. People have no idea about the mechanism of action of perfect element and the method of gene screening.
However, after nearly a hundred years of development, under the policy of encouraging fertility, the current population is close to six million, and this work must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
"Before making a decision, I still want to hear everyone's opinions... Please try to be objective and fair, and think about this issue from the perspective of the entire civilization."
"Using all Perfection to transform ordinary people into superhumans, is it harmful or beneficial to our entire race?"
In order to prevent older members of society, especially outstanding scientists, from aging and dying, Perfection has been used, and there are currently more than 300,000 superhumans.
However, over this period of time, the scientific contributions made by a few superhumans are far higher than the remaining more than 5 million ordinary people...
Faced with this fact, Yu Yifeng sighed and didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart.
"Okay, let's take a look at the ability gap between the two groups first. I believe that these things have been carefully studied."
He just listed a series of information on the screen, which was the statistical data of the ability gap between ordinary people and superhumans, including intelligence, physical motor ability, immunity, etc.... Almost all-round. Especially in terms of growth, superhumans are far stronger than ordinary people.
Only the most talented ordinary people can barely understand the most cutting-edge science, but superhumans can easily understand it after systematic learning.
This is a fact obtained after long-term practice.
There are only a few superhumans now, so they can get along very well with ordinary people.
However, the difference in ability is obvious. Yu Yifeng is worried that if this continues for a long time, some problems may arise.
"So... from this perspective, it seems that we have no way to refuse to use Perfection? What do you think?" After saying this, he sat down quietly.
Thousands of elites below started a heated discussion, most of whom were ordinary people, and the indicator lights for asking to speak kept lighting up.
After a while, when the discussion quieted down, Yu Yifeng called the name: "No. 133, please speak."
A middle-aged man stood up, and he said in a loud and sonorous voice: "From an individual perspective, the ability of superhumans is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people. So, why should we deprive them of the right to pursue smarter and healthier? So I fully agree with this plan!"
"Nearly six million superhumans will undoubtedly greatly accelerate the speed of technological development of the entire civilization, which is very beneficial to our new human civilization. By transforming into superhumans, we will realize geniuses for all the people, with a lot of potential to be developed. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have passed the intellectual barrier..."
A buzzing sound rang out in the hall. This is the most intuitive and common idea.
Yu Yifeng also nodded.
Intelligence and health are indeed temptations that many ordinary people cannot refuse...
Moreover, according to the experimental results of so many years, superhumans are similar to ordinary people, with almost the same thinking patterns and living habits, and there are no problems.
In other words, at present, perfectin is safe, and the offspring are also safe and can thrive.
"Please speak, seat 249." Yu Yifeng did not immediately draw a conclusion and continued.
It was an old ordinary person who moved slowly and said in a low voice: "I don't agree with this plan at present! It is difficult for us to judge the situation after several generations after using the perfect element."
"... Be cautious, or be cautious! I suggest that it is better to find an interstellar civilization to ask clearly before using it..."
"And after the overall transformation, the birth rate will be greatly reduced to one in ten thousand. Our population will remain at the current level for a long time. It is difficult to accelerate the accumulation of experience without a large number of ordinary people. This is also a disadvantage."
"Moreover, the low birth rate makes us unable to withstand large-scale deaths. If an emergency occurs and a large number of people die, how long will it take us to recover? Low birth rate will bring greater risk of extinction!"
Looking at the entire animal world, how many powerful creatures have become extinct due to low birth rate?
This kind of worry is very normal, and it is also the last resistance of ordinary humans.
The vision of a nation cannot really focus on itself, but on the generations in front of it.
The extremely low birth rate cannot be solved by current technology. After using Perfection, imperfect fertilized eggs cannot develop, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
There are hundreds of millions of sperms in a day for men, no problem, but women only have one egg a month, and the same is true for superhumans.
If you want women to ovulate more, you can only take certain hormone drugs constantly, which is very harmful to the body. It is okay to use it once or twice in an emergency, but it is unrealistic to take medicine for years.
"No. 711, please speak."
The young man stood up and retorted: "I think this is the best time. The time for our decision cannot be delayed indefinitely."
"Perfection is too important. The current population is appropriate and can be distributed to everyone. If the population is larger, Perfection will not be enough! In our society, there should be no problem of unfair distribution. Who will use it? Who won't? This is a huge problem, so it can't be delayed."
"Second!"
"Second!"
Yu Yifeng heard a few shouts and felt a chill in his heart. This is also true.
If the population is too large in the future and the perfect element is used up, superhumans and ordinary people will definitely be separated, and even become two different classes, which is also a phenomenon that people do not want to see.
If there is any class privilege, wouldn’t it be... the same as the Earth period?
"Seat No. 42, please speak." He was silent for a while and called the name again.
It was a middle-aged lady. She said lightly: "This worry of too many people and not enough distribution is indeed very important... But we can control the population through family planning and even freezing in hibernation chambers. Then immediately stand up to find interstellar civilizations and ask about the true role of perfect elements."
"But then again, when can we meet an interstellar civilization that really knows the truth and is willing to tell us?"
Her tone began to increase and her speed increased: "Moreover, how can we be sure that what they tell us is true or false? Please think about this question seriously: Will we believe each other?"
Hearing the lady's speech, Yu Yifeng's heart moved again.
Yes, it is true!
If you get entangled in the horns of various conspiracy theories, it will never end. Just pick a random interstellar civilization, will humans believe their answers?
If the other party says it is good, it is good, and if the other party says it is bad, it is bad? !
Impossible.
Humans still have to rely on themselves to make judgments.
