Chapter 138 On the customized genes of all people

The birth of anything has more than one meaning.

The fundamental reason why Ella invested in Zerg and [Sequence] is still to expand in genetics.

Compared with the theory ten thousand years ago, Ella has obviously embarked on this road and achieved certain achievements. The Zerg plan is an extension of Yan Xia's previous cosmic biological plan.

At that time, Yan Xia and Ella discussed a concept, that is, the universal customized gene plan.

As the name suggests, all citizens can freely purchase specific genes to optimize themselves.

The reason why it was not done at that time was entirely because the gene bank was not enough, and another point was that the population of the Civilization Federation itself was insufficient. Universal customized genes means that all citizens who undergo genetic modification will become reproductively isolated.

In these years, with the expansion of technology, the sperm and egg bank plan has been opened within the Federation. Any individual citizen can store his own sperm and eggs for later use in preparation for reproduction.

This plan is mandatory and any adult individual must participate.

The advancement of science and technology brings about approaching taboos. Ordinary citizens are more likely to come into contact with taboos. There are already many drugs within the Civilization Federation that can change genes from the bottom up.

Yan Xia, who was connected to the main network system of the Federation in Xiaguangdi City, even saw the existence of giants in a lot of news. A giant over 10 meters tall was the result of using genetic drugs. After all, the tallest human being now is only more than 3 meters tall.

Any individual who has used genetic drugs is no longer considered the original race. This is also a federal law. They will be classified as [vagrants]. This vagrant is not an unemployed vagrant, but a citizen who is free from natural individuals. It is also a special group of the Federation.

According to Ella's statistics, the number of vagrants is growing rapidly every year, and there has never been a sign of slowing down.

One of the more important reasons is that after the genetic modification is separated from the original race, the Federation can no longer control their lifespan.

That is to say, when you are a human, according to the federal regulations, if you do not make progress in telekinesis, then your lifespan is only 130 years, but when you undergo genetic modification, you are no longer considered a human, and then this law loses its effect on you, and you can have a longer lifespan.

This attraction is fatal to individuals.

"So we can't control this phenomenon now?"

"How long is the longest-lived vagrant in the Federation now?"

Yan Xia knew that there were some opposition voices within the Civilized Federation now, asking him to open the life limit, but the result of opening it would be the collapse of the Civilized Federation. Individuals do have more freedom, but without the Civilized Federation, even if they have a lifespan of 100,000 years, can these individuals survive for 100,000 years?

Limiting lifespan is not depriving citizens of their freedom. On the contrary, it is a necessary condition for granting citizens freedom.

When Yan Xia first formulated the life limit, it was to enable the Federation to achieve a cycle of succession and continuously produce fresh blood, rather than allowing some individuals with a lifespan of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to hold the main position, leaving the later generations with no hope, which is absolutely unfair to the younger generation.

That would lead to class contradictions, and the solution is to distribute evenly.

But where in the world is there absolute equality and fairness? There must be an upper layer in a system to unify opinions, otherwise it will only become a mess.

Safety, stability, long life, freedom and equality, these things cannot coexist.

If life span is open, then Yan Xia can only follow the path of the Olive Branch Civilization and create a shared consciousness cluster. In that case, life span can indeed be so long that people don't want to live anymore, but citizens have lost everything except life span.

Even if the Civilization Federation becomes the strongest civilization in the universe, the result of infinite life span will eventually be internal collapse.

So when Yan Xia heard this, he felt that [vagrants] should be regulated.

Ella replied: "Of course, now even the genetic modification programs of small workshops on the market can double the physical fitness, life span, etc. without any side effects. After all, we are a Level 2 civilization."

"But these genetically modified citizens still have quark robots injected by every citizen of the Federation. Quark robots can limit the life span of these citizens."

"But it is unethical to do so. I can't judge whether it is reasonable to do so. You, Yan Xia, need to make a judgment."

This problem was highlighted very early. The reason why Ella has never taken care of it is that it involves many aspects, including the nature of organisms. It is difficult for Ella, who is not a biological being, to make a decision.

"It is necessary to limit the threshold, but not in this way."

"Quark robots are obviously robbing individuals of their lifespans, which is no different from killing them. All we have to do is limit them."

"The Civilization Federation is very unstable now. We have stronger enemies and many internal wars."

The rebellion of creatures is everywhere, and there is no peace within the Civilization Federation.

A large number of interstellar pirates, a large number of rebels and insurgents, these people add up to tens of billions.

Yan Xia and Ella sat down in a conference room in the institute.

"We can reduce the welfare of vagrants and impose compulsory military service on vagrants. They get more than ordinary citizens, so they have to make more contributions than ordinary citizens."

"At the same time, we can exclude vagrants from the system and not allow them to take the civil service exam. The more restrictions there are, the fewer citizens will want to become vagrants."

"However, such blind suppression is not a long-term solution. When we suppress and restrict, we must also encourage vagrants with a sense of responsibility."

"Lifting restrictions on vagrants who have made outstanding contributions to the Civilized Federation can not only give vagrants a way out, but also prevent ordinary citizens from feeling unfair."

At this time, Yan Xia has become very comfortable in handling these things.

As the leader of the Civilized Federation for so many years, he is very familiar with political affairs.

Ella made some records and added some supplements.

"The main reason we created the gene bank is to optimize genes."

"In fact, we can encourage the emergence of vagrants and send them to the Silk Road of the Universe. It is now the most chaotic area in the Civilized Federation. I believe it will be even more chaotic in the future unless we can solve the Olive Branch Civilization and expand the star field there."

Yan Xia agreed with Ella's decision.

In his opinion, the restrictions on vagrants are not enough. Perhaps they can be allowed to engage in more dangerous occupations that can provide high returns, so there will be no large-scale rebellion.

Thinking of this, Yan Xia felt that he would probably be denounced as a capitalist in the future.

But this is not the behavior of capitalists. Capitalists protect the interests of the upper class, while Yan Xia restricts vagrants to maintain the interests of the lower-class citizens.

Although the name [vagrants] is not nice, most of them are the upper-middle class or explorers in the Civilization Federation. The real lower-class citizens need to work for decades to get enough money for genetic modification without side effects.

In order to regulate the customized gene market, Ella also developed genetic modification technology through the gene bank.

The name of this technology is called - parasitic reproductive clothing.
