Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 139 Another Group of Knights

Ever since he found out that he was suffering from a restorative abnormal growth disease, this mysterious old man has been a little distracted.Cui Mu was extremely surprised by this.

——Could it be that the senior suddenly realized that he was old, so his interest faded?

The senior recently put on a voice package that sounds very young, and I think he is the kind of person who refuses to accept the old.This kind of person suddenly realizes that he has been fighting for many years, does he really have this kind of mentality?

As a good young man, Cui Mu felt that he should really carry forward the virtue of respecting the elderly, and said: "Is the senior worried about the illness? My junior sister is in charge of studying the medical records published on the Internet. This illness is by no means a serious illness. Although it is in the middle stage of the illness, It may make it difficult to perform martial arts, but there will not be any major problems in a short period of time. If you can leave here, it is still very easy to remove those growths with the medical skills of the seniors."

He deliberately found a topic, so that the old man's thoughts would not focus on the matter of "I am getting old".

But Xiang Shan sighed again.

It seems that my time is indeed limited.

It took less than a month to obtain this spine, and the abnormal growth of the nervous system appeared.If it continues to develop, there must be symptoms that affect the performance of martial arts within ten days.

Xiang Shan deliberately cut off his diet to curb the growth of nerve cells.

The biggest advantage of the benchmark is that it can rely on electrical energy instead of the energy produced by respiration.Only a little water and very little organic matter is needed to maintain metabolism for a long time.However, tissue proliferation requires raw materials.

As long as you don't eat anymore, you can naturally curb the speed of cell growth.

But the problem is that he is not sure what mechanism this growth follows.

If in this trait, "repair" has a higher priority than "maintaining brain structure", then this set of idiot physiological functions may decompose one's own brain to grow those damned brains without the intake of nutrients. nerves.

Yes, under natural conditions, people will not encounter such sand sculptures.After all, human genetic information has been developed for hundreds of millions of years and stabilized in the last million years.Although it is true that it is a "mountain of shit", there are definitely no vicious bugs.Stable operation can still be guaranteed.

The gene therapy for transforming Homo sapiens into a baseline human is essentially to introduce new genetic information into this section of genetic information through viruses and enzymes, and then gradually replace the cells that originally belonged to Homo sapiens—this is equivalent to the treatment of Homo sapiens. An extension of the original genetic information of a person.

In the words of programmers, expanding a mountain of shit is equivalent to walking into the depths of a mountain of shit, and then pulling a big pile again—as for whether it will cause a landslide, only God knows.

According to Xiang Shan's memory, the gene therapy was initially applied to yeast.Then came nematodes and fruit flies.

Every step is to bring together a large number of scholar teams, and the reimbursed experimental animals alone are enough to support a large enterprise.

Next up is the clawed toad.

It was not introduced to mice until the death rate was reduced to one third in Xenopus.

The mortality rate of the first batch of mice was as high as [-]%.

A few years later, it was confirmed that the therapy would not cause direct death in mice before it was further applied to rhesus monkeys.

These few steps may sound like violent trial and error, but at that time, the research institute established by Xiang Shan was steadily producing Nobel Prize nominations.

And the secrets of life are constantly being cracked.

But even so...

The beta version of the therapy may indeed have various "unpredictable benign bugs".

Maybe "your cells will try to decompose your brain to repair your body" sounds bad, but compared with "you will be poisoned by your own neurotransmitters", it is already a fairly benign BUG.

That's why the final version of gene therapy strictly limits the amount of genetic information transferred.

Of course, these things are not enough for outsiders.

Xiang Shan could only shrug this topic off.

Cui Kui could only sigh slightly when he saw that the old man really wasn't enjoying the conversation.For a young man like him, it is really difficult to let these old seniors relax with words alone.

The two continued to move forward.

Soon, Cui Mu found a new trace on a wall.

This trace almost merged with the crack in the wall.People who don't know this mark will think that it is a mark formed naturally.

But for those who know the meaning of the symbol, this "crack" is particularly conspicuous compared with the natural cracks.

"It's still 700 meters away from here." Cui Mu said.

Xiang Shan carefully observed the crack, although he could vaguely see a little trace of artificial interference.But in his eyes, this symbol is like a Chinese character composed of hundreds of strokes.

Only those who know it can understand the meaning.

"The terrain of the Arctic Ocean is varied, and there is an ocean under the ice, so it is very difficult to search, so some sects set up things that are not easy to move there." Cui Kui said: "Although it is not as good as the gathering of heroes in Africa, but It can also be regarded as ecologically diverse. Some sects have their own special symbol systems to communicate. At the same time, there are many small sects forming alliances, and there are also private circles formed by knights. These circles use different symbol systems. Therefore, even if it is the government, it is impossible to exhaust these codes."

Xiang Shan nodded slightly.

Cui Mu did not specify the symbolic system of what kind of circle it is.He didn't ask either.

The two continued to walk for a while.

Xiang Shan looked at the ground, and said, "Huh? This looks like it should be the territory of those gangs..."

This section of the road, the ground has become much cleaner.

Except for the main road, which was funded and maintained by the lord, the other roads were built by the residents themselves.

In theory, anyone can build buildings and build roads on the ground at will.

However, if your building is suspected of preventing others from escaping, then there is a risk of violating Dyson's principle.

The government has no obligation to provide any public services, nor will it carry out public infrastructure construction.Everything is voluntary by the residents.

Some signal stations are only set up by the government for the convenience of management.This is not an institution, but a personal choice of local officials.

Of course, in theory, "residents voluntarily" is not a ridiculous thing.There are a large number of free non-weapon drawings on the Internet, and civilian-grade 3D printers are also easy to find.If you have the heart, in theory, a person can indeed maintain a high standard of living.

But that's only "in theory".

In reality, many people can't save the parts of a civilian 3D printer in their lifetime, and they lack the professional skills of assembly.

Even if the government implanted the chip of enlightenment education in everyone when they were young, not everyone can use those complicated knowledge.

Therefore, in a sense, it is the gangsters who undertake these public services.

They will set up base stations - because perfecting the base station is equivalent to enhancing the government's monitoring capabilities, so the patrons acquiesce and even encourage this business.And everyone who joins their base station will contribute their remaining computing resources while being monitored by the government.The gangsters use cloud computing technology to use these resources to package the blockchain and obtain digital currency.

This process was not even carried out secretly, but was written in the user access agreement of the base station in a fair manner.

This is the main business of gangsters.

In addition, they will also collect dead bodies, sort out garbage, and even dig sewers.

Of course, to enjoy these services, you have to pay money to the gangsters.

This "use or not" is of course not entirely voluntary, and the pricing is not so reasonable.And if you don't want to use it, you have no choice but to get out of the gang-controlled area.

Of course, limited by Dyson's principle, gangsters will not kill people.However, constantly hindering one's work, or even accumulating small injuries on one's prosthetic body, is enough to kill a person.

This kind of behavior is only stepping on the line of Dyson's principle.If there are no sufficient records to prove that this is a deliberate attempt to force people to their death, it will depend on the mood of the asylum seekers.

Residents in the city can't bear these too.They will hire warriors, open up settlements in the wilderness, and formulate a set of game rules themselves.And when the number of people in the settlement reaches a certain standard, they can go to the lord to apply for asylum.

It is true that if you seek life in the wilderness, you will encounter green forests.But for many people, there is no difference between the green forest and the gang.

Xiang Shan hacked into the surrounding cameras, but found that there were indeed several people cleaning up the garbage.They are similar to the owners of the previous service station, and the transformation rate is very low.They are generally coerced by gang violence to do things.As long as the meager remuneration is given normally, this kind of behavior is still just stepping on the line of Dyson's principle.These guys know a very limited amount of stuff.

But Xiang Shan quickly found several different traces of intrusion in the system of several cameras.

"It seems that there are more than one non-government forces monitoring here? It's interesting."

Xiang Shan patted Cui Mu on the shoulder, then turned and walked in another direction.

He will keep a distance of 100 meters from Cui Mu to ensure that the two will not be wiped out in a wave.

And at this distance, even if someone made a sudden attack, Xiang Shan was sure to save Cui Kui's life.

After all, Xiang Shan just doesn't like the way of guns and guns, but it's not that he doesn't understand the way of guns and guns.

Cui Kui silently contemplated the icebergs in the North Pole, collected his mind, and then walked towards the hut.

This tin hut looks like an abandoned warehouse.Metal can isolate the prying of electromagnetic waves in multiple frequency bands, so it is quite a good building material.

Cui Kui found a mud-like stain under a window.

The rest of the signal is hidden in the stain.

Cui Mu analyzed the information, and then the sounder sent out a short ultrasonic signal.

After a while, the door creaked open.

　I have been ill for a few days, but my body is getting better, and I will recover twice tomorrow.
