"Therefore, two hundred and seventy-two years ago, the natural humans initiated the gene modification plan and the robot plan.
This was to produce as many robots and artificially modified humans capable of adapting to the environment as possible, using robots and artificial humans to combat the mutated creatures in the polluted zones.
They spent approximately thirty years on this.
Sacrificing countless artificial humans and robots, they finally managed to climb back to the top of the food chain.
At that time, most of those who voluntarily became artificial humans were ordinary civilians, seeking to earn a living and protect their families. However, after the mutated creatures in the outside world were largely eradicated, the natural humans abandoned the artificial humans, ostracizing them from humanity.
This was because they considered them to be among the mutated creatures.
Not belonging to the true lineage of humanity.
Thus, after eliminating the mutated creatures outside, the natural humans once again initiated a war against the artificial humans. They had prepared for this, stockpiling many robots in advance to join the war and exterminate the artificial humans.
But this war proved to be unexpectedly difficult.
This was because not all natural humans rejected artificial humans; many artificial humans had relatives, and natural humans who were not beasts, actually supported the artificial humans.
While they might not have supported them with weapons, they at least supported them in their hearts, believing them to be heroes and that they should not be discarded and destroyed.
They might not have been able to provide significant assistance, but they could occasionally relay information, report news, or use their knowledge to hinder robots.
According to records, after the war, although the artificial humans were almost entirely exterminated, the population of natural humans also dropped to less than thirty million. At this point, the remaining natural humans once again felt that the population was too small, and many dangerous tasks had no one to perform them. Moreover, creative work could not entirely rely on robots.
However, their natural birth rate was too slow.
At the same time, they also rejected procreation through unnatural means.
Therefore, after deliberation.
They initiated the New Human Project.
They believed that the reason the original artificial humans were difficult to manage was because they were modified from natural humans. Although their genes had changed, their thoughts had not, so they intended to create artificial humans from scratch, nurturing them from infancy.
Thus, we, the New Humans, came into being, and all the history before was deliberately erased and altered.
They controlled us New Humans from the source, through ideological education, and also imposed restrictions on us in many technological aspects, preventing us from learning, only allowing us to learn what they needed us to learn.
Then they assigned us work.
They clearly knew that without a sufficient population, it would be difficult to sustain the technology that required large-scale participation without regression.
Our purpose for existence is to perform creative work for the natural humans and to maintain, and even advance, those technologies.
From then on, the situation that had been maintained for over two hundred years was thoroughly established.
Natural humans reside in natural human protection bases, which are essentially the last pure lands in this world, while we are dispersed across various secure bases.
The world mainframe and robots are both caring for us.
And monitoring us.
Overseeing us New Humans on behalf of the natural humans."
Having said this, Xu Pingshui sat down directly, and like He Rundong above, uploaded the results of their group to the mainframe, awaiting future release.
Then, Wan Naisheng of Group Three stood up and said:
"Our group was responsible for the related data collected within the natural human protection bases. It basically includes all the changes within the bases since their establishment. So, I will proceed with the explanation.
In the initial decades, the changes within the natural human protection bases were not significant. The natural humans were relatively comfortable and at ease, and otherwise normal. They also diligently studied and maintained technologies such as computer technology, gene modification, and space travel, which New Humans were not allowed to learn, ensuring these did not regress.
At that time, the New Humans were even striving to improve space travel technology, seemingly attempting to leave the planet and journey to the nearest habitable planet.
However, these were only the first generation of natural humans who moved into the natural human protection bases. From the second generation onwards, they gradually became corrupted. For example, they stopped studying diligently, or were unwilling to learn, yearned for the outside world, and became addicted to holographic games.
With the second and subsequent generations of natural humans being quite self-indulgent, the natural human population experienced another drastic decline, dropping to only a few million. However, by then, they were no longer vigilant about data; their intelligence and knowledge base had declined and regressed.
It can be said that from that point on.
They were no longer able to effectively control the world mainframe, which essentially entered a state of autonomous operation.
If our actions touched upon the bottom lines set by the first generation of natural humans in the world mainframe, and there were corresponding countermeasures, the world mainframe would immediately execute them. However, if our actions did not touch upon these bottom lines, or if the touched bottom lines had no countermeasures set, and required consultation with the natural humans.
In a situation where the natural humans could not control the world mainframe, their silence would be equivalent to no response.
The world mainframe would not autonomously provide feedback.
Therefore, some of our previous actions might have already touched upon the bottom lines of the world mainframe.
It's just that the natural humans did not set corresponding countermeasures."
"Another point is the regression of those natural humans. A part of the reason for their regression is indeed because they stopped learning, expecting everything to be done for them. Everything was handled by robots.
When people become so lazy and stop learning.
Maintaining this for several generations naturally leads to their ruin.
Besides this reason, the decreasing number of natural humans and the increasingly close kinship among them is also a major cause of genetic regression.
Human evolution originated from the use of fire.
It also originated from exogamy, where people from different tribes intermarried, leading to genetic diversity and gradual evolution through constant gene recombination.
However, in the past few years, the natural humans living in the natural human protection bases did the exact opposite. Regression was only to be expected.
This is the conclusion our group has reached!"
As she sat down, it was naturally the turn of the other groups to present their findings, gradually shifting from historical inquiry to technological inheritance and genetic changes, followed by mutual discussion, research, and analysis.
Three main issues were summarized.
First, how should the natural humans be dealt with?
Second, should space travel technology be developed?
Third, how should the global pollution purification project be carried out?
