Three hours ago, in a huge palace made of the best white marble on Earth, Maximus sat on the throne that once belonged to his brother, King Blackbat, and gathered all the Mutants.
In the brightly lit hall, all kinds of Mutants came to the palace to see their king.
The Mutants had advanced technology compared to Earth. Through the Tyrigan Crystal Mist, they awakened a variety of superpowers from their modified genes. But at the same time, this artificially modified superpower was the same as their reference target, the mutants, causing various damage and abnormalities in their genes.
They developed ethnography, a research that was absolutely forbidden in the social environment of Earth.
Ethnography was the artificial genetic optimization and selection of human beings. In short, it was like the selection of crops and breeding of pet breeds on Earth, using artificial interference to select traits and breed human beings.
When Chen Ang observed the boundaries of many worlds, he once proposed a hypothesis. If a slave civilization continued to develop, then with the progress of science and the development of society, what kind of special social behavior would appear? He observed a world where slavery continued to develop after the South won the American Civil War.
In that world, with the development of science and technology, the Americans did not eliminate slavery, but developed it more scientifically.
That was ethnography, also known as the selection and breeding of human-like species.
Modern selection and breeding technology had been applied to pets to breed a wide variety of special breeds. Take dogs as an example — border collies, corgis, German shepherds, teddy bears, golden retrievers, huskies, and other pet and working dogs.
The methods used were generally anti-ethical and anti-moral measures such as bloodline records, inbreeding, and trait screening.
But dog owners who indulged in the special characteristics of their pet dogs never cared about these. They never thought about how a pet dog with an excellent trait could inherit this trait, or even reach a stable level. They also could not imagine why most modern purebred pets would have genetic diseases.
Because pet trait breeding almost always used anti-ethical methods, selecting puppies with obvious traits from the same litter and mating with each other. A large population of new pet dog breeds could almost all be traced back to one or two such pet dogs. The breeders would breed them at a frequency that would cause serious harm to the body.
This was the only way to expand the population in a short period of time. A large number of unqualified puppies would be destroyed, and a large number of qualified dogs would breed at a high rate after reaching adulthood. This kind of breeding would seriously damage health.
This was the history of modern pet development, and almost all new dog breeds came from western countries.
However, those Europeans and Americans who treated dogs as family members had never protested the origin of their cute dogs. They protested against the so-called pure-blooded but anti-ethical bloodlines.
And these methods, from pets to slaves, only needed to break the bottom line a little.
The southern farm owners of the Confederate States of America soon learned to manually screen their slaves. They first bred a race of people with low intelligence but docile, honest, and loyal to their masters. It seemed incredible, but all human rights experts and public intellectuals claimed that human free will was unshakable, that freedom was great and sacred, that all human beings were equal and free, and that there was no difference in intelligence between people.
But in the field of pet dogs, there was a huge difference in IQ between a Golden Retriever and a Teddy. There was also a difference in breeds of affection, irritation, and aggression. No one would think that a Golden Retriever was as aggressive as a Tibetan Mastiff.
People did not dare to mention the difference in IQ between different races, but every professional dog trainer would enthusiastically discuss how high the IQ of a Border Collie was, and how brainless a Tibetan Mastiff was.
That's science — it's universal, it's repeatable, and sometimes it's even anti-human.
Dogs could be bred to have such a big difference in characteristics — why couldn't humans? Pygmies were known as Africa's "pocket people." Their adult height was 1.30 to 1.40 meters, and they had extraordinary physical strength. They lived in the Idoli region of Zaire in the middle of Africa. Their average IQ was 54, which was only equivalent to a slightly smarter whale.
Pygmies matured at the age of eight!
This was a special race that was naturally bred — the Confederate States of America only needed to introduce artificial selection and optimization, and soon, the black working slave population would be completed! They were honest, obedient, and had low IQ. The Americans basically did not have to worry about the slaves rebelling, nor did they have to worry that one of them would stand up and loudly chant, "I have a dream!"
Then there was the population differentiation of working people — some farm work required a slightly higher IQ, so slaves with a relatively higher IQ would be bred. The slaves did not need to live too long. When they could no longer work, they would be disposed of — but it would cost money to dispose of them. The farm owners would not slaughter the slaves themselves. They would pay the Union Government a sum of money, and then the old slaves would be taken away. They would disappear without a trace.
But it cost money to dispose of them this way, so there was a need for working people who did not have an aging period.
Race selection would select those who could not work and reproduce at an age of about 40 years old, and would die of natural causes — the farm owners hoped that the slaves could work earlier, so the time for them to reach adulthood would be shortened. In the end, they would be bred to reach adulthood at about 15 years old, and would die of natural causes at about 45 years old.
Slaves had different work needs. Some entered the factory to do repetitive work, some did farm work, and some weavers. Different races would be bred. Just like dogs, in an increasingly developed society, the work needs of dogs were gradually replaced by the needs of pets.
And the farm owners also had needs for entertainment and companionship — there were many black and mixed-race people in Washington.
At this time, the race training work had a new direction of development — the pet race!
So they created a race training factory, selecting beautiful and docile people, and producing all kinds of slaves for different purposes. At one time, the development of the slavery system even threatened the reproduction and family of the American people, so the Union Government had to legislate to force teenagers to have at least two children before the age of 25.
In the new era, after the rapid development of genetic science, that world line became more and more playful, until Chen Ang could not stand it anymore. He sent a meteorite to the American Union and completely destroyed that world line.
In the ICLEI, human breeding was one of the few scientific disciplines that had not been developed at all. The ICLEI had developed to the extent that it was qualified to say that all human beings were equal. Even if there were differences in innate qualifications, in the ICLEI or the further developed Republic, innate qualifications could no longer hinder the development of human beings. In this kind of civilization, the equality of opportunity had already covered the inequality of innate qualifications.
If people were equal in morality and personality, then they were absolutely equal.
People were not born equal and free, nor were they born with rights bestowed by God — at least, Chen Ang had never thought about this.
