Watching Lu Siyuan's excitement, Mao Zhengzhi's smile grew wider.
"Well?"
"Is he the successor you're training?"
Mao Zhengzhi turned toward the voice and saw Lü Yongchang walking over, amusement in his eyes.
"Professor," he greeted him first. After a moment's hesitation, he replied firmly, "I think he's a good choice."
"At least in biology, he's a talent worth cultivating."
"Oh?" Lü Yongchang looked in surprise at Lu Siyuan, who was busy at the main console. "This is the first time I've heard you speak so highly of someone!"
As his gaze shifted to Lu Siyuan, a Holographic Projection appeared beside him.
The projection clearly displayed Lu Siyuan's entire record, from birth to the present.

"Yes." Mao Zhengzhi smiled and nodded. "As it happens, he's one of the New Humans born under the social public child-rearing system."
"And he was among the first New Humans to work at the Academy of Sciences."
Lü Yongchang grew increasingly astonished as he studied the densely packed record. "That's quite an impressive record!"
"He's mastered cutting-edge biology in such a short time!"
"It seems the social public child-rearing system is doing an excellent job with education!"
"Education doesn't deserve all the credit, though," Mao Zhengzhi corrected him with a smile.
"In my view, Zero's screening and filtering of reproductive cells deserves the most credit."
"Continual optimization at the genetic level has already brought considerable improvements in average physical fitness and intelligence."
"Humanity's slow evolutionary progress seems to have begun accelerating under the stimulus of the communal child-rearing system!"
"And under Zero's oversight, the teaching materials are updated continuously to keep pace with the New Humans' increasing intelligence."
"That creates a positive feedback loop."
At this point, Mao
