Wandering planet that will travel

Effect: success rate of genetic modification +80%, average life expectancy of race +60 years, immune to some viruses and diseases

The options that appeared this time are all related to a certain technological tendency, which can be said to be the result of the development of Wandering Earth's technology so far, and it is finally time for the sublimation of the race.

It's just that it's very tangled for Qiao Lv, because each item is so powerful, so it's even more difficult to choose.

[Gene Remodeling] It can produce better effects for T-virus, Extremis virus, and even the latest fibril virus. Even if the gene lock can be unlocked to the next level, there is no doubt that it will not lose to the power of psionic energy.

And it also provides the effect of the average life expectancy of a race + 60 years, almost doubling the average life expectancy. Although there is no benefit at this stage, the impact in the long run is immeasurable!

[Synthetic Evolution] provides the adaptability of prosthetics and the efficiency of mechanical transformation. It is clear that the more people who receive prosthetics, the greater the benefits. It is best for all people to use prosthetics and neural implants, so that the labor force Level up a notch.

Although it is said to be a prosthetic limb, in fact, it is no longer a simple machine on today's wandering earth.

For example, Qiao Lv's left hand, except for those who know it, no one knows that it is a prosthetic. Vibrating gold atoms are fused with biological cells, basically there is no mechanical part, and even the touch is exactly the same as human skin.

What's more, those who have been fully mechanized, such as the Yoroha troops, are indistinguishable from humans in appearance.

After completing synthetic evolution, he was even able to break through reproductive isolation with humans, but Qiao Li had no idea how he did it.

Of course, Transformers are also a mechanical race, which is even more difficult for Qiao Li to imagine.

[Heart is better than matter] seems to be the most conservative item. After all, whether it is [Synthetic Evolution] or [Gene Remodeling], it is necessary to vigorously promote prosthetic modification or genetic modification in order to obtain higher returns.

It is best to be able to participate in the whole people, or at least the vast majority, so that the entire race can complete the evolution.

[Heart is better than matter] It doesn’t have to be like this, the benefits it brings are subtle, initially only a few people start, and then more and more people awaken their potential, no matter if this ability is psionic power, force or anything else.

It just so happens that the Wandering Earth is implementing the Earth Awakening plan, and waking up the Earth will trigger spiritual recovery or changes in the world. At this time, human beings just master the way to use this power, and maybe they will get better results.

However, from the point of view of causality, it is precisely because Qiao Li chose to wake up the earth project that the harmony tendency of the wandering earth reached 150, unlocking this new racial characteristic.

Now is the time to make a choice, one of which should be chosen among machinery, mutation, and harmony, as a new racial characteristic of humans wandering the earth.

Qiao Lv really wanted to make a choice right away, but after all, this matter was so important that he still couldn't make a decision on his own.

No matter which one you choose, it may lead to the division of human beings. Some people reject prosthetic limb implantation, some people reject genetic modification, and some people reject psychics. These are groups that exist objectively on the wandering earth. Just like the spaceship faction in the original Wandering Earth project, no matter which one you choose, there will be people who will oppose it.

It's just that Qiao Li couldn't choose nothing and miss this opportunity for nothing.In any case, human beings must continue to develop, and escaping will not solve the problem in the end.

Of course, although only one of the options given by the system can be selected, it does not mean that the three major tendencies are incompatible with each other.

Qiao Li himself is the best example. He has a vibrating gold symbiosis prosthesis, a perfect T-virus modification, and spiritual talent all in one, so there may not be any problems.

It's just that there will eventually be a mainstream group of people on the wandering earth who will decide which technology to develop first. This is the meaning of this choice.

Qiao Li needs to discuss it with other people in the coalition government, and even do some polls. After all, this is an issue related to the entire human race, and it is not time for him to work on it behind closed doors.

Chapter 567 Neural Implants

Just like before, at the cost of 500 civilization points, Qiao Li asked the system to convey the detailed information to other people in the coalition government, so that he would not have to bear such a heavy responsibility alone.

After learning about this incident, the coalition government immediately convened everyone to discuss the countermeasures for this incident.

To Qiao Lv's surprise, this incident turned out to be related to the Soul Flower Project, which is part of the Earth Awakening Project.

Luo Feng presided over the meeting and said: "Everyone, as you know, the Soul Flower project is progressing smoothly, and we are one step closer to successfully awakening the earth."

"So what happened to call us here?" asked Derek, the U.S. representative.

"On this point, let's ask Dr. Grace to explain it first."

Dr. Grace's holographic projection appeared in the center of the meeting room, and she had to participate in the meeting in this way because she was so busy.

"Sorry, all the directors, I am still in the cultivation laboratory of the flower of the soul. There are too many things to deal with here. Please forgive me for attending the meeting in this way."

"No, I'm sorry to trouble you." Luo Feng nodded his head.

After a brief greeting, Grace began to explain the key points of the meeting.

"The first thing I want to explain to you is the mechanism of the flower of the soul. As we discussed at the beginning, the flower of the soul will serve as the nerve center of the earth in the future and become the key to the plan to awaken the earth. But in fact, it has another important function The effect is to change the ecology of the earth and make it more suitable for human habitation."

"When the flower of the soul blooms, a large amount of pollen, or nanoparticles, will be discharged into the atmosphere, and in this way the ecological climate of the earth will be changed. Since the flower of the soul is cultivated by us, now we also This modification can be controlled to a certain extent, and this is the topic that I hope you discuss."

So it turned out that Qiao Lv finally understood why the system gave three options with such a huge impact, and it turned out that they were directly related to the final result of the Flower of Soul Project.

The three transformation plans proposed by Dr. Grace also coincided with the three racial characteristics seen by Qiao Li. Qiao Li just named it after the heart is better than the matter, synthetic evolution and genetic remodeling, and it was also agreed by others. recognized.

"It still has such an effect." Russian representative Vasily said with admiration.

Dr. Grace responded: "Sorry, but we also discovered this during the course of our research."

"In any case, this is not a bad thing." Qiao Lu followed Dr. Grace's words, "It's just that we have to make a choice, how to transform the ecology of the earth, and ourselves."

The effect of the flower of the soul is indeed a rare opportunity. After investing so much manpower and material resources, it should be rewarded.

"Then we can rule out synthetic evolution first." Derek said first:

"We once discussed a type of choice, which seems to be a plan left by the Cybertron civilization-the assimilation of internal drives, right. Since we rejected the assimilation of internal drives at the beginning, there is no need to choose synthetic evolution now."

Indeed, there was such a meeting. Because of Qiao Li's opposition, the Wandering Earth did not conduct a referendum, and the resolution of [internal drive assimilation] was rejected.

Qiao Li immediately objected: "That's different. Internal drive assimilation will make everyone on the earth, whether they agree or not, gradually transform into cyborg life forms. But synthetic evolution is a choice we can make. , it provides the adaptability of the prosthesis, whether to install a prosthesis or not depends on the individual's wishes."

This is the biggest difference between the two. [Internal drive assimilation] is after all a plan left by the Cybertron civilization, and of course it does not take into account human thoughts.

[Synthetic Evolution] is only to enhance the adaptability of human beings to prosthetics. Whether to accept prosthetic modification or not depends on the individual's decision.

Bevin, the representative of France, immediately reacted and said: "If you say this, isn't it the same that the heart is better than the thing? Not everyone is willing to awaken their potential."

This makes some sense. If an ordinary person awakens his powerful potential first, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to his daily life.

Perhaps most people will be eager for this, but there are also people who really just want to spend their lives peacefully, and awakening their potential is not a gift for them.

"On the other hand, on the Wandering Earth, although the number of psykers is still very small, and they are mainly in the army, it cannot be said that there are no people who hate psychics. Whether they are jealous or fearful, if psykers It is hard to imagine what kind of turmoil it will cause.”

This is a very realistic thing. Looking at the mutants in the X-Men, it is not impossible to cause human division.

"What about the last genetic remodeling?" British representative George asked. "Genetic modification is not acceptable to everyone, but there will be no objections to prolonging life."

Genetic remodeling is indeed the easiest decision to win the hearts of the people. Who doesn't want to live another 60 years, especially in the current situation where the medical technology of the wandering earth is so advanced, they can basically die.

The problem is that the current genetic modification technology of the wandering earth is relatively weak compared to prosthetics and psionic abilities.

For example, Qiao Li can feel it himself. The vibrating metal symbiosis prosthesis and spiritual talent in him are very powerful, but the genetic modification mainly provides sensory enhancement. After he can use spiritual power to perceive, he can only The remaining reaction speed is commendable.

"One more thing worth noting." Dr. Grace reminded, "Although the synthetic evolution plan provides prosthetic adaptability, it actually also includes neural implants. For example, the simultaneous interpretation headsets used by everyone here are now It is a device that uses a neural interface. If we design it as a neural implant, we can complete the translation in the brain without the need for earphones, which can break through the limitation of having to translate into the mother tongue, and the accuracy of the information conveyed will be greatly improved. It has improved a lot."

The simultaneous interpretation device is one of the most important inventions on the Wandering Earth. The reason why all human beings can unite to complete the Wandering Earth Project is largely due to breaking through the barriers of language communication.
