Almost every member of Congress expressed his or her objection.

"Quiet!" Hong Qiming patted the conference table vigorously and shouted in a low voice.

When the conference room returned to silence again, he asked, "Why?"

"Professor Lu, as the chief scientist, you should know that human genetic modification has always been a sensitive technology."

Lu Yongchang did not explain immediately, but reached out and turned on the holographic projection generator on the side.

In the holographic projection, a series of experimental data in the biological laboratory appeared.

"This……"

Hong Qiming frowned, looking at the complicated figures and diagrams in doubt.

"Let me explain briefly."

Lu Yongchang stretched out his hand to drag the holographic projection, and said softly: "Everyone should know that due to gravity, at present, all personnel who land on Dawn Star need to wear exoskeleton armor, and regularly enter the medical cabin to repair organ damage."

Hong Qiming didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Lu Yongchang said again: "According to the current plan of the Academy of Sciences."

"Guangwei will be transformed into a star-level defense fortress, which will in turn defend against possible interstellar wars."

The voice fell, and in the holographic projection, the surface of Guangwei was quickly covered by icy steel, and countless forts stood on the bare surface, facing the vast universe beyond the dawn star!

In the conference room, there was a sound of gasping for air.

Apparently, this spectacular plan shocked every congressman present.

"And the place where human beings live will be this dawn star with a gravity as high as 1.9g."

Huge hemispherical closed cities quickly appeared on the originally desolate surface of Dawn Star.

"At that time, all human beings will live on Dawn Star." Lu Yongchang's tone was extremely heavy, "However, judging from the current situation, human beings can only survive on Dawn Star by relying on exoskeletons and medical cabins."

"Do you like this kind of life?"

Hong Qiming's face was gloomy, and he subconsciously shook his head.

No one likes such a life of restraint.

"Next, I will briefly introduce the results of the biological laboratory to you."

"..."

……

After ten minutes.

Lu Yongchang stopped his introduction and said in a firm tone: "Everyone, in order to survive in the universe, human beings need to evolve!"

"At present, we have almost completely mastered human genes."

"Controllable genetic modification is beneficial and harmless!"

"The rules hundreds of years ago, in my opinion, should also be abolished!"

This time, the opposing posture of the MPs was significantly weaker.

On the one hand, it is to take into account the way of life of human beings in the future.

On the other hand, they were shocked by the scientific research results given by Lu Yongchang.

Unheard of visceral omentum system, all-round physical fitness strengthening...

Although many congressmen are attracted to such technology, there are still many conservative congressmen who firmly oppose this radical proposal.

Hong Qiming listened to the arguing words of the people around him, and cast his eyes on Lu Yongchang.

After seeing Lu Yongchang's determined expression, he made his own choice.

Hong Qiming knocked on the table and said softly, "I think Professor Lu is right."

"Humans who are marching into the universe really need to start a new evolution."

Cap. 418 Genetic Modification of Human Civilization Ordinance

Hong Qiming's words, like a signal, quickly suppressed the voices of the congressmen.

The originally noisy conference room became much quieter in an instant.

Several congressmen with the loudest objections looked at each other in blank dismay at this moment, and stopped their dissenting words.

Seeing this, Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Hong Qiming has done a lot in the parliament during this period.

At least, this prestige is much greater than when he first took office.

Although to some extent, this phenomenon is not a good thing.

The concentration of power is bound to cause some bad consequences.

However, when human civilization has not completely escaped the crisis of survival, a certain degree of power concentration is actually of great benefit to human civilization.

Hong Qiming glanced around solemnly.

Seemingly seeing the hesitation on the faces of many congressmen, he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, if you have any objections, you might as well raise them boldly."

"This is the parliament, not me, Hong."

Hearing this, the expressions of many conservative congressmen cheered up a little.

"Chairman, Professor Lu's proposal, I think there is something wrong."

A gray-haired congressman spoke first.

There was no abnormal expression on Hong Qiming's face: "Mr. Antonio, tell me your opinion."

Antonio reached out his hand to untie the electromagnetic adsorption device, stood up and looked at Lu Yongchang beside him: "Professor Lu, will there be any accidents in the genetic modification technology?"

"If there is an unexpected situation, can the Academy of Sciences solve it?"

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment.

"Thanks to the biotechnology of Proxima Centauri, today, the Academy of Sciences' research on human genes has far surpassed before."

"But humans are complex individuals after all."

"There will be no surprises in the genetic modification program, and even now, I cannot guarantee that."

The voice fell, and the conference room became chaotic again.

Even Hong Qiming glanced at Lu Yongchang in surprise.

"Then you..." Antonio said eagerly.

Lu Yongchang chuckled lightly: "Listen to me first."

"Perhaps you have misunderstood me."

"Like hibernin, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone."

"Magna's visceral omentum gene may not be suitable for all humans."

The gray-haired MP Antonio suddenly realized: "I probably understand what you mean."

"Do you think the risk of this technology is controllable?"

Lu Yongchang naturally nodded without hesitation.

Are you kidding, the risk is uncontrollable, what research is he doing?

Just to be on the safe side, he even took a look at the technology tree system in advance, for fear that he would click on some dangerous technology somehow.

"In order to ensure the overall safety of human beings." Lu Yongchang said again, "The Academy of Sciences will conduct a series of strict biological experiments in the future."

"After the experimental results are qualified, the genetic modification technology will start to be promoted."

"At that time, human beings will be divided into ten batches, which will undergo genetic modification in turn and land on Dawn Star to start a new life."

"The time span of the entire renovation project is tentatively set at 100 years."

"I believe this can greatly control the potential risks of genetic engineering."

"I'm fine." Antonio nodded thoughtfully, and sat back in his seat.

Hong Qiming's voice sounded again: "Do any members have any questions?"

"Professor Lu, I have another question."

A young conservative congressman said, "Will this technology affect human genetics?"

The moment the question was raised, not only the members of the House of Representatives, but even Hong Qiming's expression became serious.

Inheriting genes, this is the biggest problem that needs to be considered in the human genetic modification project.

the reason is simple.

The genetic modification of an individual, even if an unexpected situation occurs, can only affect one or several generations at best.

Humanity still has a chance to continue.

But if the genetic code is changed...

That affects the entire human civilization.

A little carelessness, human beings will fall into the crisis of extinction!

"As Chief Scientist, I can assure Members of Parliament."

Lu Yongchang nodded solemnly: "The Academy of Sciences will not use it for human experiments without determining whether it has an effect on genetics."

"Not only now, but also in the future."

"The Academy of Sciences will never use genetic modification technology for human genetics!"

The young conservative congressman and Lu Yongchang looked at each other for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I hope so."

"Do you have any questions?" Hong Qiming waited for a moment and asked again.

Seeing that no one responded, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pressed the button in front of him.

"Since there is no doubt, next, start the voting session."

……

After Hong Qiming voted in favor first, there was no suspense in the voting session.

The human genetic modification proposal successfully won the support of the Federation of People's Congress with 81.7% of the votes in favor.

But the meeting wasn't over.

Compared with human cloning technology, genetic modification technology is not really a dangerous technology.

the reason is simple.

Once the human cloning technology appears and is applied on a large scale, the final outcome of civilization is bound to perish.

However, genetic modification technology does not necessarily lead to the destruction of human civilization.

in contrast.

After adding various "shackles" to it, genetic modification technology can completely lead human civilization to a higher level.

Therefore, following the passage of the genetic modification proposal,

After hours of deliberation, Parliament added several restrictions to the Human Genetic Modification Act.

"Regulations on the Genetic Modification of Human Civilization"

one.

Human genetic modification technology must never be used to modify human genetics.

Second.

The Human Genetic Modification Program adopts a voluntary principle.

No one may compel individuals to undergo genetic modification.

Third.

Human genetic modification technology can only be used in adult individuals. Before genetic modification, germ cell sampling and preservation must be carried out.
