"No! The risk of uncontrollable gene editing is too high!"

Lu Yi recalled the system's complete information on human genes, which was as high as 99.8 billion points, and the problem that humans could induce various gene mutations in their genetic modification. He rarely felt a sense of awe in his heart and said with a serious expression:

"The mystery of genes is far beyond everyone's imagination. There are too many uncontrollable factors. It is very likely that we artificially transform a gene. After this gene is combined with the original natural gene of humans, it will mutate and produce gene defects that we expected or even genetic viruses.

Until I fully understand human gene information, I do not advocate editing and modifying human genes!”

"But how to reduce the disease rate and increase life span?"

General Chen was a little confused. The lifespan of a creature has a limit, and the lifespan of a human will also reach the end of the day. This is a natural limitation of the gene.

"We don't solve problems from the perspective of changing genes, but we can solve problems from the perspective of physiological and chemical."

Lu Yi thought for a while and said, "For example, a certain gene defect leads to the loss of a certain protein, which causes the disease to occur. Then, if we find this reason, we can supplement this protein through acquired medical means and make the human body return to normal.

The fundamental reason for lifespan is that cell replication reaches the upper limit, which is determined by telomeres. If we find the gene that determines the length of the telomeres, that is, the gene that determines the lifespan, by understanding the operating mechanism of this gene, we can also supplement and repair the telomeres the day after tomorrow.

These are all feasible development directions and technical means that are acquired, rather than direct editing and changing genes to solve problems.

The human gene has 3 billion base pairs, and they are a whole. Before fully understanding all the information about the gene, rash editing of genes will bring uncontrollable risks beyond human expectations."

"I see."

The leader also nodded solemnly and asked, "Is there anything else besides these directions?"

"Materials, materials are the bridge from theory to practice and the foundation of all technology. All the technologies mentioned above cannot be separated from materials if they want to develop. Another one is space gravitational waves!"

"Space gravitational wave, the project you are studying?" The leader couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, this is not my selfishness. I am not short of money or resources. I don't need the state to provide me with funding. I just want the state to pay attention to research in this regard."

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "Graining waves represent the future, just like the previous controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Among all the above technologies, there is one very important technology. Actually, I didn’t say it, that is the interstellar engine!

This is a core technology that any civilization after breaking away from the constraints of the planet needs to pay attention to, but the innate limitations of working fluid engines make it not very suitable to be an interstellar engine technology.

Perhaps everyone has a certain understanding of the performance parameters of the Orion engine and thinks that such an engine is very powerful and can be used for interstellar navigation.

But unfortunately, it can only be said to be barely qualified for interstellar navigation, and more so it is galaxy engines.

As we all know, it is difficult to replenish matter if we leave a galaxy without the existence of a planet. This means that we need to replenish good materials at one time when we take off or are about to leave the galaxy.

According to calculations, we use the Orion engine to travel to Proxima Centauri. If we want to cross the distance of 4.22 light years to reach there, and penetrate the interstellar gas clusters and interstellar dust between the galaxies, more than 60% of the mass of the spacecraft itself must be hydrogen bombs and liquid nitrogen, not to mention that it will take about 50 years to reach it.

Because we accelerate the speed of the spacecraft to one tenth of the speed of light is the actual limit of the working fluid engine. It is not that we cannot accelerate again, but that the cost of re-acceleration will exceed our burden.

This is Proxima Centauri. If we go to Tianwansi or other more distant galaxies, our spacecraft will take more time to take.

Therefore, working fluid engines are not suitable for interstellar navigation. The only thing that can be used for interstellar navigation is the curvature engine in theory.

Curvature engines are related to the field of space-time. At present, the only space gravitational waves that we can study and touch the field of space-time are the only space gravitational waves, so it represents the future.”

No matter how awesome the controllable nuclear fusion is, it also needs to cooperate with the engine to promote the spacecraft to sail.

The focus of working fluid engines is the word working fluid. It requires consuming working fluid at all times to do work, just like taking a stone and throwing it backwards, you will get a forward reaction thrust.

Although there is no gravity in space, the speed loss is not large, the long star path, complex gravity, endless interstellar dust and interstellar gas clusters will all slow down the spacecraft.

Perhaps this slowdown will be very small, but you also need to spend a lot of propulsion quality to maintain speed on the scale of light years or more than ten or twenty light years.

In addition, relativistic factors also need to be considered. The larger the speed, the higher the mass of the object, the lower the acceleration efficiency. In reality, the working fluid engine cannot accelerate at will. Raising the speed to one-tenth of the speed of light is the actual limit. The cost of accelerating it is too high.

Therefore, those who have started interstellar navigation within a few years of the controllable nuclear fusion must be the protagonists of the portable space, and there are several galaxies of matter in the space that can be consumed.

"What suggestions do you have for this way to develop in the future? What adjustments should be made to the social system after the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion?"

The leader paused for a while, and after digesting what Lu Yi said, he asked the next question.

"educate."

Lu Yi said seriously: "I can't answer the specific system details, but I can talk about the future changes.

After the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion, the resource problem will be completely solved in the short term. It can be foreseen that civilization will enter a period of rapid development in the future, material will become more abundant, and the focus of society will become more and more from material to spiritual.

Spiritual civilization needs guidance and construction, otherwise it is easy for everyone and even the society to be immersed in drunkenness, dreams and death, and entertainment until death.

In fact, this trend has already become prominent after we enter the 21st century, but in the future, this problem will become more and more serious.

So I think the country should carry out macro-control of education in the future. In the era of increasing intelligence in the future, many industries and many jobs are actually unnecessary, and intelligent systems and intelligent robots can replace them.

At this time, we should prepare in advance to reduce the educational investment in these industry disciplines that will inevitably face elimination, so that more children can turn to scientific research, basic disciplines, and cultural and institutional construction.

Only by solving resource problems can scientific research and the construction of spiritual civilization be the true core of a civilization.

It can be foreseen that after the resource problem is resolved in the future, the government's responsibility will no longer be to improve the economy, improve the per capita distribution of resources and improve people's living standards.

The government's responsibilities should shift to how to use productivity reasonably and allocate resources reasonably to ensure that civilized members will not degenerate in the infinitely abundant material life, and to ensure the vitality and motivation for civilization to move forward.

At this point, I think we have a natural advantage than Lao Mi and Russia."

"Tell me what you think, why do we have an advantage over Lao Mi and the others?" The leader asked with great interest when he heard this.

"Our system is fundamentally different from their system. Our goal is social communism and to build a spiritually prosperous civilization, but they are controlled by capital and control society by mastering material resources."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "The essence of capital is to use the circulation of money and the operation of social industries to exploit the surplus value of labor from the lower-level workers.

If this continues, the resources mastered by upper-level capitalists will become larger and larger until they affect the operation of the entire society.

This system has a strong advantage before the problem of resource shortage is solved because it can inspire people to compete and make the entire country and civilization burst out with powerful power.

But after the resource problem is solved, this advantage will not be obvious, and even the advantage will become a disadvantage, causing people to lose the motivation to compete.

A very simple truth is that in the past, people worked hard to make money and improve their social status because their status improved and their lives will become better.

But after solving the resource problem, even if you don’t make money or improve your social status, there is actually not much difference in your lives with extremely abundant resources. I have what you have, so why am I still struggling to do?

This situation can actually be seen from the development trends of capitalist countries over the years. Life was not good in the past, and the industrial revolution was explosively exported as soon as it appeared, and its strength and national strength were leaping up.

But as life gradually gets better, they begin to lose their momentum, the most obvious example is Western Europe.

Lao Mi is a little better. Because of the reputation of the No. 1 power, they have always been worried about being surpassed by us or being surpassed by Russia, so even if they live a rich life, they dare not relax.

But after living in Western Europe for so many years, do you see what changes have happened to them over the years? It seems that the economy is improving, but the essential national strength and strength have not changed at all, and it is even regressing.

When there are insufficient resources and people's poor life, capitalism has the advantage, because people yearn for a better life, so they will always think about climbing up.

However, as resources gradually become more abundant and people's lives gradually become rich or even more abundant, the potential of our socialist system will gradually become prominent.

We can quickly change the industry structure of society and change the social responsibilities of various industries through macro-control methods.

What about Lao Mi and the others? They think that macro-control is not possible in this way, because their root is capital, and such regulation harms the interests of the capital behind it.

So even with controlled nuclear fusion, Lao Mi and the others will have more difficulties in their development than us, because they encounter too many obstacles in their development. They either overturn themselves first and then develop, or carry out restrictive development."

"What do you think will happen to us and the United States in the future?" After hearing this, the leader pondered for a while, and tapped his fingers on the table to ask.

"There must be a battle!"

Lu Yi said without hesitation. As soon as he said this, the leader's expression had not changed much, but General Chen next to him was subconsciously stunned.

"Tell me your opinion and reason." The leader was silent and then asked.

"It's very simple. We can see the disadvantages of capitalism after solving the resource problem, and Lao Mi and the others themselves must also see it."

Lu Yi was silent and said, "If you want to solve this problem fundamentally, you must fundamentally reform the system.

Reform is not just a saying, nor is it our reform and opening up. At that time, the conflict of interest between the old and new forces will inevitably trigger turmoil in the United States, and their strength will decline significantly in a short period of time. They will be afraid that we will take this opportunity to swallow them.

Even if we don’t have this idea, they will have this concern and defense, so before they carry out fundamental reforms, everyone will inevitably have conflicts or even wars, and they will not carry out reforms until they make sure that everything is foolproof."

"Where is the nuclear deterrence?" General Chen next to him couldn't help asking, nuclear bombs - this is the real foundation of peace for mankind.

"The nuclear power will not be a deterrent at that time, because there will be no conflict in the short term, and now everyone's focus will still be on development.

Human nature is a very subtle thing. Even if the consortium behind Lao Mi sees this problem, it is unrealistic to ask them to give up their interests and rights to reform now.

Because this is not a general amendment to the Constitution or the law, but a direct impact on their survival foundation.

We have only heard of capitalists giving their lives for the sake of profit, but we have never heard of capitalists giving their lives for the sake of other people's lives.

In this way, they will only suppress this contradiction first and seek a second way out for themselves. Perhaps they will secretly become leaders of new forces in the future reform..."

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "When the consortium behind them completes its own layout of escape from the shells, secretly transforms into the representatives of interests of the new reform forces, when the internal conflicts of Lao Mi had to reform, it may have been a few years or even more than ten years, and everyone is likely to colonize in the solar system.

So the battlefield in the future will only be in the starry sky, and even after the colonies are available, what if the nuclear bombs clean up the earth's environment?

When everyone has only one planet, nuclear is a deterrent, but when everyone leaves the planet and can transform and colonize the planet, nuclear is no longer a deterrent."
