Chapter 824 Genetic Selection
After Xu You's explanation, the biology and medical experts finally understood Xu You's idea and made the final plan.
Because Severi is a Proxima Centauri, her genes do not match the bodies of Blue Star people, so in terms of consciousness logic, there will be great differences from normal human rebirth projects.
According to Xu You's plan, Severi's genes will not have any effect on the new body , only the consciousness will be completely copied.
In order for Severi to be in better condition and conduct scientific research on Blue Star, the brain function of this new body needs to be very powerful.
After finalizing the plan, the project team officially started the research work.
The first and most critical task is to create a body that Severi can use.
If you want to achieve this goal more easily, the simplest way is to directly clone a human body and transfer Severi's consciousness into this body.
However, this approach has to face many problems.
For example, ethical issues.
Because if she were to be cloned directly, Severi's body would be exactly the same as that of another Blue Star person, which would cause many difficult problems to be solved in the future.
In addition, directly using a body cloned from the genes of an ordinary person would also limit the performance of Severi's brain to a great extent.
Because the overall brainpower level of the Proxima Centauri is much higher than that of the Blue Star people, not to mention Severi, who is one of the top brainpower even among the Proxima Centauri civilization.
The brain of an ordinary person is totally incapable of allowing Severi to use all of her brainpower for research work.
Therefore, Xu You and others decided that Xu You would redesign a human body that would not be exactly the same as other Blue Star people, but also had to have a very strong mental foundation so that Severi could carry out her own scientific research work in the future.
After continuous design, simulation and testing, we finally selected several suitable genotypes.
In the final selection of the plan, everyone also gave their own opinions.
"After my detailed simulation, I can confirm that these genotypes are all compatible with Severi's brain power. Therefore, these genotypes can all be the final solution, but there will be some differences in appearance."
During the research, Xu You has conducted rigorous tests on several genotypes using his brain simulation technology.
Severi's brain power is very high, even higher than Lin Shi's, and only inferior to a very small number of Blue Star people such as Xu You, Lou Song, Lu Zhiyao, etc.
"Teacher, I think we should choose this genotype. Judging from the height, body shape, and expected appearance, I think it better fits my ideal image of Severi."
Lin Shi raised her hand and expressed her thoughts.
Although the genotype chosen by Lin Shi is not the one with the highest brain power, it is indeed the one with the highest image and appearance.
"Well... I think we should choose the one with the highest brain power. Severi is a scientist, so her appearance and image are all irrelevant." Lou Song said.
Unlike Lin Shi, Lou Song doesn't care about any factors other than brain power, just like when Lou Song chooses various technological equipment, he doesn't consider appearance at all.
Afterwards, everyone expressed their opinions on their choices.
Seeing that everyone had expressed their ideas, Xu You said:
"Everyone has different ideas. Since all these genotypes can maximize Severi's abilities, in principle, any genotype can be chosen."
After a pause, Xu You suddenly changed the subject.
"Since Severi's ideology has already been determined, theoretically, no matter how high her brainpower is, it will not raise her upper limit. Therefore, if we choose a genotype with a better image for Severi, it should be an objectively better choice."
Xu You is not a person who cares about the image of others, but when he can choose a better image, there is naturally no need to choose an image that looks less pleasing for others.
Of course, Xu You also had other ideas.
Although the brain power of this human body will not have much impact on the upper limit of Severi's ability, in order to control the potential risks of Severi in the future as much as possible, Xu You still hopes to set the brain power of this body not too high.
After hearing what Xu You said, everyone no longer had any objections.
The next task is to cultivate this body.
Since the principle of this technology is different from that of cloning technology, it does not require cultivation from a fetus step by step, but can quickly cultivate a mature human body. Therefore, the entire project will not last as long as imagined.
In just three months, this genotype was successfully cultivated from a somatic cell into a complete and mature human body.
And because this human body has no consciousness of its own, she can only lie on the bed like a vegetative person, waiting for Severi's "soul" to enter.
"Okay, we can prepare the consciousness transfer procedure." Xu You said.
After rigorous testing, the project team has determined that this body is exactly the same as planned and meets the conditions for consciousness transfer.
In order to keep this body in the best condition, it is naturally better to transfer consciousness earlier.
Theoretically, this process of transferring consciousness is not complicated.
All we need to do is transfer Severi's consciousness stored in the super quantum to the brain of this body.
But in terms of actual operation, it is still much more complicated than uploading consciousness.
When uploading Severi's consciousness before, Xu You only needed to find the location in Severi's brain where consciousness was stored to complete the process of uploading consciousness.
But in this transfer of consciousness, Xu You must ensure that Severi's consciousness can have a very high degree of compatibility with this body.
During the process of transferring consciousness, the tolerance for operation errors is very low.
If anything went wrong, not only would this body become unusable, but even Severi's consciousness would be difficult to recover.
In other words, the entire project cannot afford to fail, otherwise Severi will completely disappear from this universe.
Fortunately, many operations can be assisted by quantum computers, which ensures the accuracy of experimental operations.
