In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
Be careful.
"Closely monitor the physical condition of these mice."
Lu Yongchang, somewhat worried, instructed, "Then continue to increase the number of experimental samples to ensure that there is no conflict between the visceral omentum gene and the mouse genome."
"After confirming that there were no abnormal reactions, the experimental subjects were changed to monkeys and chimpanzees."
Mao Zhengzhi nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Professor."
"You don't need to worry about such a small matter."
"I know what I'm doing."
Lu Yongchang chuckled and stood up from his chair: "Next, I have to go to the council."
Mao Zhengzhi's expression shifted slightly, and he stopped what he was doing.
He raised his head and looked at Lü Yongchang, whose face was relaxed.
"Human experiments?"
Mao Zhengzhi uttered four Chinese characters with a somewhat complicated expression.
Lu Yongchang nodded solemnly: "We need to start preparing in advance."
"Once all animal experiments pass, we will have to consider genetically modifying humans."
"Isn't this a bit too fast?"
Mao Zhengzhi's expression grew increasingly complicated.
His eyes were filled with confusion as he muttered to himself, "This thing is a one-way street."
Lü Yongchang fell silent.
He knew this principle all too well.
But humanity is currently too weak.
To survive in a perilous universe, one must inevitably give up some things.
“Not fast.” Lü Yongchang said firmly, murmuring softly, “Humanity needs to evolve.”
...
Lü Yongchang walked alone in the corridor of the "Earth".
The "click-click" sound of the electromagnetic boots is particularly crisp.
The door in the distance quietly opened.
Lu Yongchang composed himself, took a deep breath, and strode toward the open door.
...
A group of members of parliament sat around the large conference table.
Hong Qiming sat in the main seat, quietly watching Lü Yongchang walk into the room.
"Professor Lü."
Hong Qiming said with a serious expression, "You're late."
"The meeting should have started five minutes ago."
Lü Yongchang nodded absentmindedly, walked to his seat, and sat down.
"Um?"
Hong Qiming frowned slightly, his expression becoming increasingly serious.
To this day, he still does not know the reason why Lu Yongchang applied to convene an extraordinary meeting of SUPP members.
Lu Yongchang's behavior at this moment made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Could it be... that another crisis has arisen?
Hong Qiming frowned slightly, deep in thought.
The Dawn Star Climate Control System?
Didn't we hear news a while ago that the global storm had been completely brought under control?
He pondered in his mind while making a gesture with his hand.
The conference room door behind Lü Yongchang was quickly closed.
"I hereby declare."
Hong Qiming glanced at the crowd around him: "The 76th interim meeting of the UN People's Association shall now begin."
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Lü Yongchang, who was standing to the side.
Lu Yongchang sat quietly in the chair, without making any response.
Time passed slowly, and soft murmurs arose in the meeting room.
Hong Qiming coughed, tapped the conference table in front of him lightly with his knuckles, and reminded him again, "Professor Lü, what proposals do you have? Please bring them up quickly."
Lu Yongchang reached out and unfastened the electromagnetic adsorption device on the seat, stood up, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "I request the lifting of the restrictions on human genetic modification."
An uproar erupted in the meeting room!
"No way!" a hot-tempered councilor shouted. "Human genetic modification is a research direction that is explicitly prohibited!"
"Yes, this thing has a huge impact..."
"..."
Almost every member of parliament voiced their objections.
"Quiet!" Hong Qiming slammed his hand on the conference table and hissed.
Once the meeting room fell silent again, he finally asked, "Why?"
"Professor Lü, as the chief scientist, you should be aware that human gene modification has always been a sensitive technology."
Instead of explaining immediately, Lü Yongchang reached out and turned on the holographic projection generator next to him.
The holographic projection displayed a series of experimental data from a biological laboratory.
"this……"
Hong Qiming frowned, looking at the complex numbers and charts with a puzzled expression.
Let me explain briefly.
Lu Yongchang reached out and dragged the holographic projection, saying softly, "As you all know, due to gravity, personnel landing on Dawn Star currently need to wear exoskeleton armor and periodically enter the medical pod to repair organ damage."
Hong Qiming didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
Lü Yongchang reiterated, "According to the current plans of the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."
"Guangweiyi will be transformed into a planetary-level defensive fortress to defend against possible interstellar wars."
As soon as the words fell, in the holographic projection, the surface of the planet Apollo was quickly covered by cold steel, and countless turrets stood on the barren surface, pointing straight at the vast universe beyond Dawn Star!
A collective gasp filled the conference room.
Clearly, this spectacular plan impressed every member of parliament present.
"And the place where humans live will be this Dawn Star with a gravity of 1.9g."
On the once desolate surface of Dawn Star, huge, hemispherical, enclosed cities quickly appeared.
“At that time, all humans will live on Dawn Star.” Lü Yongchang said in a very heavy tone, “However, as things stand now, humans can only survive on Dawn Star by relying on exoskeletons and medical pods.”
"Do you like this kind of life?"
Hong Qiming's face darkened, and he subconsciously shook his head.
No one likes this kind of restrictive life.
"Next, I will give you a brief introduction to the achievements of the biological laboratory."
"..."
...
More than ten minutes later.
Lu Yongchang paused his introduction and said in a firm tone, "Everyone, in order to survive in the universe, humanity needs to evolve!"
"Currently, we have almost completely mastered the human genome."
"Controllable genetic modification is entirely beneficial!"
"Rules from hundreds of years ago, in my opinion, should be abolished!"
This time, the lawmakers' opposition was noticeably weaker.
On the one hand, it takes into account the future lifestyle of humankind.
On the other hand, they were amazed by the scientific research achievements presented by Lü Yongchang.
An unprecedented visceral omentum system, providing comprehensive physical enhancement...
While many lawmakers are interested in the technology, a significant number of conservative lawmakers remain firmly opposed to this radical proposal.
As Hong Qiming listened to the arguments around him, he glanced at Lü Yongchang.
Seeing Lü Yongchang's resolute expression, he made his choice.
Hong Qiming tapped the table and said softly, "I think Professor Lü is right."
"Humanity's journey into the universe truly requires the initiation of a new evolution."
