Science fiction writer Wang Jinkang's speech at the 1997 International Science Fiction Convention:
…As long as we take a bird's-eye view of the technological progress at the turn of the century, we can smell the smell before the storm.Science and technology, this extremely powerful boomerang, is no longer just used to transform the objective world, it has turned around to transform human beings.The test-tube baby technique, which once caused an uproar in the ethical circles, has now calmed down and has become a standard practice in medical technology; the cloning of Dolly the sheep caused a stronger earthquake, but the aftershocks are still there, and the human cloning technology is ripe for success.Scientists have successfully carried out gene inlaying (Note) on the close relatives of human beings - mice, which are also mammals. In the next century, this technology will definitely be used to transform human beings.As for the "man-machine man" enhanced by artificial intelligence, I believe it will definitely appear in the next century.
These scientific advances are mind-blowing enough, but they are nothing compared to another technology that is still in its infancy. On January 24, 1997, at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Anaheim, California, the famous genetic scientist Craig.Venter said that he has now completed the gene sequencing of the 20 simplest organisms, among which the simplest life only needs less than 300 genes. At the current level of nanotechnology, humans can completely use laser clamp and Scanning tunneling microscopes are used to arrange atoms to form the simplest artificial life—think about it, this is a real and down-to-earth artificial life, and its manufacture does not require any "God's technology", so when using "pure physics" After the first life created by the method comes out, God can completely retire.
Note: In June 1997, Juno Matsuno, Osaka Microbial Pathology Center, implanted the fluorescent gene of jellyfish into mice, enabling them to produce GFR fluorescent protein. The body of this mouse can emit light under ultraviolet light.They used the method of "injecting DNA" to complete the gene chimera, and shortly thereafter, they successfully tested the chimera method using viruses as an intermediary.
