Chapter 218 Waiting for the Wind to Blow

On the fifth day after the head of the Mana Knights was assassinated, and also the fourth day after the city was under martial law, a rumor spread in the slums in the north of the city.There's a new parts dealer in this place.The peddler has a lot of parts in his hand, and the quality of the parts is quite good. It belongs to the kind that has no metal fatigue and can be used for at least ten years.

This piece of news quickly attracted the attention of Pine Eagle City's intelligence department.They came to the slums on the sixth day after martial law, and called the surveillance system to observe this legendary peddler for a while.

Then, they came to a conclusion-this peddler should not be a knight, but he may have some connection with Green Forest.

Most of the parts in this guy's hand are half-new and not old. There are some common specifications of prosthetic bodies used in martial arts, but there are very few official military standards, so they should not be obtained after killing soldiers.

"Suspected old parts eliminated by the green forest." An intelligence official recorded in the memo: "Those bandits buy some parts that are difficult to re-dissolve and recycle as waste products. This peddler may just be their route to sell stolen goods .”

"The only doubt is that the wear rate of these parts is not very high. But if the green forest organization pursues martial arts, it is possible to eliminate parts at a faster rate."

"Considering that the asylum seekers may organize campaigns against the green forest within three months, someone should be sent to monitor the peddler. But the peddler himself has nothing worth noting."

The above is the evaluation of Pine Eagle City's intelligence department.

Xiang Shan swaggered like this, leaning against the small space surrounded by plastic sheets under the surveillance of these hawks and dogs.

He had already spotted the watchers.Now he has stored all the suspicious items in Matsushima Hiroshi. There are only a few parts on his body [randomly disassembled from Lulin's body], and he also used Matsushima Hiroshi's facial decoration to make a more realistic camouflage. Don't be afraid of those guys coming to check.

He resisted the idea of ​​looking at those monitors through the translucent plastic film.

This is the house in the slums.It looks a bit like a small plastic greenhouse, and the "private space" is directly surrounded by plastic sheets of different colors.

Benchmarks have a higher need for temperature.After the prosthetic body, the oxygen consumption of cybermen is greatly reduced, but they will be afraid of wind and sand, so this kind of residence that can block the flow of air, but can transmit light and keep the photovoltaic panels operating is especially suitable for those who only have A little photovoltaic panels out of humanity.

Of course, if the degree of prosthesis is not high enough, then there will be some problems living here.

According to Matsushima Hiroshi, there are often people whose prosthesis is not high enough to sleep in this kind of greenhouse until they are starved of oxygen and die.

If the degree of prosthesis is not high enough, it is better to go to the lower floor of the building opened by the lord to try his luck.It's harder to get sunlight there, but at least it's well ventilated.

In this slum, people with nothing are living and dying, and the population turnover rate is very high.

People who have nothing can just find a shed with nothing to get into, which is equivalent to having a home.

This is a great place to hide alone.

If Xiangshan has isotope batteries, an energy source whose working time is counted in "years", then the underground river is not bad.

But at this stage, Xiangshan still needs to rely on sunlight to generate electricity.

After the assassination of the Methodist Building, most of the underground river mouths or sewer mouths are now under surveillance.

If you go in and out frequently, the risk of exposure is also great.

So after Hiroshi Matsushima's guidance, he came here.

It is said that Hiroshi Matsushima also said hello to the small group of residents of this generation. [This kind of loose organization has almost no real power, and it is difficult to prohibit, so even if it is a little bit beyond the Dyson principle, the asylum will not go too deep into it]

At this moment, Xiang Shan was completely relieved.

Xiang Shan is waiting here for the next sandstorm.

He has nothing to rush to do now, and he doesn't need to prepare disposable weapons such as bombs.There is no need to educate disciples.

The research materials of the Mana Knights have also been handed over.

Ah, by the way, Xiang Shan also left a copy of the first-generation Yuding bacteria with Matsushima Hiroshi.

This backup is housed in a special test tube.In that test tube, the yeast gradually grew in response to the nutrients in the medium.During this process, the water in the medium will continue to evaporate.There is a dark compartment inside the sealing cap of the test tube, which contains metal salts that can combine with water molecules.This dark compartment will absorb the evaporated water, making the medium drier and drier.

When the culture medium is consumed to a certain extent, the Jade Ding bacteria will stop its life activities and split into spores to continue dormant.

At that time, you only need to stuff it into the refrigerator where the medicine is kept, and it can be stored for many years.

If there are knights who can see clearly in the future, Hiroshi Matsushima can also share these spores with them.

In this way, this strategic resource can benefit more people.

Of course, it's not that Xiang Shan doesn't want to put it directly into the natural world and let all those in need pick it up.

Just doing this will have unpredictable results.

Microbes have a terrifying mechanism—the lateral transfer of genetic information.

The genetic information of normal organisms can only be transmitted vertically, from parent to offspring, and from parent to offspring.

But microorganisms can achieve horizontal transmission of genetic information-individuals not only obtain the genetic information of their parents, but also obtain the genetic information of "siblings" and even other people.

In the old generation, the "super bugs" with strong drug resistance emerged in endlessly because bacteria can easily transmit genetic information horizontally.When one bacterium acquires resistance by accident, the trait quickly spreads to other microbes.

Some parasites also cause the horizontal transmission of their own genes and host genes.

Retroviruses can also lead to horizontal transfer of genetic information between higher organisms, but not as easily as between microorganisms. [However, there are also theories that the horizontal transmission of genetic information may be another key driving force of evolution—even humans are human because our ape ancestors were infected with a certain virus and obtained foreign genetic information . 】

Yuding bacteria is a product of highly intelligent design, and there are many genomes in it, which are completely original by human beings and do not exist in nature.If it is put into the wild environment, but it is not completely wiped out, then no one can predict what will happen when the genetic information is transmitted horizontally.

Of course Xiang Shan would not do such a horrible thing.

He just stayed in the shed, quietly waiting for the wind to blow.

and read your own memory.

His spirit slowly sank, falling once more onto his past self.

........................................................................

In December 2043, at Haneda International Airport, the 12-year-old Shen Yuanyan stared at the strong man in front of him with tears in his eyes.

Kamihara Zun originally wanted to hug his daughter, but Kamihara Yanye opened his father's hand angrily.

"Yan Ye!" The young woman on the side was a little angry: "Dad is going abroad now, to a very dangerous place. Are you going to send Dad abroad with such an expression?"

"Anyway, it's not the first time." Shen Yuanyan Ye roared in a low voice, with the expression of a vicious small dog.

Kanbara-sun felt quite embarrassed.He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry..."

The little girl still ignored him.

Kanbara stood up, looked at his wife, thought for a while, and said, "I'm really sorry..."

"No need to apologize, my dear." The woman shook his crumpled coat for him, and said gently: "This is a very important thing, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Kanbara sighed: "I can't even tell you 'this is the last time'... I can never guarantee that. The human beings on that land, and the language. My fate, very have long been intertwined with them."

"That's why you never send me to school," the little girl muttered.

The woman frowned: "Yan Ye, you..."

Shen Yuanyan shrugged Ye Zui, turned around and wanted to run.

But at this time, another person held the little girl's head, and at the same time stuffed a set of exquisite toys bought from an airport store into her hands: "Kids, don't run around! Stay honestly by your parents' side. "

Shen Yuanyan Ye was stunned for a moment: "Thank you... No, who are you?"

The little girl was very vigilant, suspecting that she might run into the legendary child kidnapper just three steps away from home.

But the father quickly shattered the little girl's delusion.

Shen Yuanzun exclaimed in surprise: "Xiang? Why are you here?"

After saying this sentence in Japanese, Kanbara-sun realized that he had used the wrong language, and quickly said it again in a language that the little girl could not understand.

"Oh, this." Xiang Shan pointed to the timetable: "Transfer. I saw your news on the official website of your research institute, and wondered if you would also go to the United States today, but I saw you as soon as I got off the plane Oh, I was thinking of buying some gifts to greet you, but I saw you and your daughter... this..."

Shen Yuanzun's wife hugged her writhing daughter with both hands, still maintaining a somewhat polite smile on her face: "Honey, who is this?"

"Oh, this is my former colleague in the United Nations, Xiang Shan from the Republic. When we got married, the project's confidentiality level was not low, and they couldn't leave casually. But Yan Ye came here once when he was four or five years old. You probably don't I remember." After Shen Yuanzun introduced Xiang Shan, he said to Xiang Shan, "I don't know if you still remember, this is my wife, her name is..."

"Long time no see, Ms. Meijiu." Xiang Shan reached out his hand and shook hands with the woman.

"Ah, I'm really sorry. Look at my memory." The woman bent down apologetically: "I actually often hear your name mentioned by my husband, but I don't remember your appearance."
