The end of technology.

Austin, the capital of Texas, USA.

Although it was late at night, the third-floor office of the Guangming Shenjiao headquarters, which was only two blocks away from the state government, was still brightly lit.

At this time, Neeson Mountbatten was sitting in front of his solid wood desk made in China, paying attention to the messages thousands of miles away.

The light reflected on his serious face, and it could be seen that he was looking very seriously at this time.

Yes, for this person who had planned to dedicate his life to the Son of Light, every move of that person on the other side of the ocean at this moment would affect his fate.

Especially at this moment when he is facing the most important decision in his life.

……

The news on the Internet probably made him very pleased, which can be seen from the smile on Neeson Mountbatten's face.In fact, the Internet is indeed full of good news.Negative mass matter...has antigravity properties.Oh, those ridiculous scientists are still delusional to obtain the same thing through the laboratory, how naive these people must be!
Neeson Mountbatten sighed in his heart.

If there is anyone in this world who really regards Ning Zi as a belief, it is definitely this guy who used to be mercenary.

Of course, that doesn't mean the guy has switched genders.Rather, all his pursuits in his life seem to be obtained from beliefs he has never met.Although he doesn't feel that he has reached the pinnacle of his life, he can see that walking along this designed route, one day he will be able to stand on the pinnacle and overlook all the scenery.

Neeson Mountbatten didn't have any psychological pressure at all to kneel down and control tens of thousands of people.

There are certain landscapes that cannot be discarded after just one glance, not to mention that Neeson Mountbatten has not only seen it, but even been in it.Now money is no longer his lifelong pursuit.Because he has already understood that some things cannot be bought with money, and he does not even have the strength to keep his wealth. No matter how much money he has, he is just a fat sheep in the eyes of others.

The current Neeson Mountbatten is more concerned about his identity, the tens of millions of believers he has developed over the years, and the trust of the Chinese. These are his amulets.

Facts have proved that for any conspiracy against him, his faith far away in China will promptly give him detailed information in a letter that burns after reading, so that he can calmly and safely save the day.

But now he is facing a difficult choice.

……

"Mr. Mountbatten, Professor Marlborough has arrived." Obote Laylow, who was wearing a dark suit, leaned into half of his body and said.

"Oh, that's great, invite him in quickly."

Neeson Mountbatten turned off the computer first, and after confirming that the computer was turned off, he stood up from his seat and greeted the door in person.

Oberth Laylow pushed the door further open, made an inviting gesture, and welcomed a man in his 50s or [-]s who was dressed traditionally and wore a traditional British hat into the room.

"Professor Marlborough, I have heard about you for a long time, and I finally met you today." Seeing the visitor, Neeson Mountbatten extend his hands enthusiastically, without even caring about the other party's restraint. When the two hands were held together, Neeson Mountbatten Barton also shook it very hard.

Apparently the other party wasn't too used to Neeson Mountbatten's enthusiasm, but he didn't do anything excessive. He just rubbed his hand on the coat covertly after Neeson Mountbatten let go. Only then did he take off his hat and coat, and handed them to Obote Leiluo who followed him into the room, and then sat down on the comfortable sofa in the office under the warm hospitality of Neeson Mountbatten.

"Mr. Mountbatten, I don't quite understand why you have to spend such a large sum of money just to invite me here from Edinburgh just to chat with you for two hours?" Rot Marlborough said immediately It's a strong posh accent.

How should I put it, this British accent has a very hypocritical taste, and the combination of the surname Marlborough seems particularly normal.

When Britain was still in the Middle Ages, the Marlborough family was once considered one of the most noble families besides the royal family.The first Duke of Marlborough was once the wealthiest and most powerful man in England during Queen Anne's time.

The former empire on which the sun never sets is no longer as brave as it used to be, and now even the royal family has existed like a mascot, and the glory of the past can only exist in history.But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and just from the attire, it can be seen that the professor's life is definitely not bad.

It's just that from what the jazz said, it can be heard that he will still bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Professor Marlborough. In fact, he is now one of the most well-known biologists in the West, especially his Brenda Life Science Laboratory, which is very well-known among the top rich circles.Especially in anti-aging research and drug target mechanism, a lot of achievements have been made.

We all know that it takes a lot of money to maintain the operation of the laboratory.

As the signboard of the laboratory, if someone offers a price that makes his heart beat, even if it takes a few hours on a plane just to chat for two hours, it is not impossible.

"Haha, Professor Marlborough, some things can only be made clearer if I say them face to face. What's more, whether it's for you or me, two million dollars is not a lot of money. In fact, if we have a good chat today, maybe I can pay you another million dollars as an extra fee. By the way, would you like one?"

Neeson Mountbatten picked up the high-end Cuban cigars on the coffee table and passed them along with the scissors.

Although Neeson Mountbatten likes money, he obviously prefers to use money, and the cigars he takes out are naturally high-end products.

After Lot Marlborough took a look at helping him put his coat and hat away, he did not leave the office, but the black man standing by the side of the sofa. After thinking about it, he held back his silence and just took the cigar silently. Start trimming, then ignite.

After the two silently smoked two cigars, Neeson Mountbatten spoke when the office began to be filled with smoke.

"Actually, I have invited you here this time to ask some questions. You are an expert in life sciences. I actually want to know if there is such a possibility that human beings in this world have created a biological chip that can reside in the In the brain, through the secretion of various physiological hormones, the normal conditions of various organs of the body are recorded.

In this way, when the human body has some diseases such as tumors, it only needs to take something similar to nano-robots to assist the body's own immune system to defend, and even to defend against some viruses or bacteria.In addition, this chip can also keep people in a relatively vigorous stage by understanding and controlling the secretion of hormones in the human body and repairing damage to human organs. "

Rot Marlborough glanced up at Neeson Mountbatten and replied, "Mr. Mountbatten, do you want to write a science fiction novel about life science?"

"Haha...cough cough cough..."

Neeson Mountbatten laughed loudly. He was just smoking a cigar. Probably the smoke choked his trachea, and he started coughing violently. You are kidding, I just want to ask if there is such a possibility, please take this question seriously, then use your professional judgment, and tell me in a way that I can understand. As you just said, you have to be worthy of what I paid Consulting fee, isn't it?"

Rot Marlborough glanced at Neeson Mountbatten, well, he had to give this man face, if only for the sake of money.So after thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "We usually divide the human immune system into three components, namely immune cells, immune organs and immune molecules, but in fact it is a very complicated system, far beyond ordinary people's imagination. as simple as that.

There are also immune responses, immune processes, and so on.If you want to understand, I can only say that our bodies are amazing, with thousands of various chemical reactions happening almost every moment.Including metabolism, including the stimulation of your brain to start thinking, and the regulation of various hormones, etc.

In this case, if the biochip you mentioned can identify all these reactions and order them in time, if any, to those nanobots to remove the virus, it means that a huge amount of calculation is required.Especially when foreign matter invades, how to identify those bad viruses and bacteria?This is actually a difficult question.

We must know that the human body is not an isolated internal circulatory system. We have to eat and drink water every day. In other words, the entire metabolic process is a process of interaction with the outside world.Nutritional supplements keep life going, and it is inevitable that some impurities that the body does not need will be absorbed into the body during this process.

So I can't imagine what kind of biochip can accurately identify all possible threats, and then complete the precise removal by commanding nanobots.Of course, if you say a few centuries later, maybe the technology at that time is completely different from what it is now, maybe it can be realized.

But there is one thing, if such a technology is really available, it means that people have completely handed over the defense system to a set of complex computing systems.This may cause the body's own immune function to be completely out of balance. The final result is that once the chip has a problem, the body's immune function will directly fall into disorder, which will be extremely dire consequences.

Specifically, you can refer to the situation in the late stage of AIDS.Of course, if there is such a technology, it will probably be the greatest boon for AIDS patients.Anyway, their immune system is already riddled with holes, and a set of immune processes that do not depend on the body's own immune response can give this group a better survival experience. "

Rot Marlborough spread his hands and replied.

The answer was very rigorous. Seeing Neeson Mountbatten was thinking, Rot Marlborough said again: "Of course, Mr. Mountbatten, I can understand that a rich man like you attaches great importance to life and health. In fact, we A project that is being researched in the laboratory is for you rich people. Many rich people have given support to our project. If you also have this need, I can tell you some information in detail, just give Our laboratory invests in a special research fund, and you will also be one of the beneficiaries in the future once you have results."

Neeson Mountbatten nodded, but he obviously ignored Rot Marlborough's promotion, and still turned to the previous topic: "You mean, this technology is completely useless to normal people? And it will make people feel Dependency, once the service is stopped, it may die directly from a little virus or bacteria at any time?"

Rot Marlborough felt a little strange.

Looking at Neeson Mountbatten's cautious expression, it seems that this guy really knows where in the world has this kind of technology.

Of course, he felt that this was impossible.

Any biologist who understands the complex reactions in the human body would think this is impossible.Even if he really had this kind of technology, he should have heard of it a long time ago, and it must be immature in the early stage.

So after hesitating for a moment, Rot Marlborough answered, "It can't be said that there is no benefit at all. How to put it, the immune process is very complicated, because viruses are often deceptive, and can break through defenses through various protein synthesis." The system reproduces in large numbers, the most common being the cold virus, and there are various ways to break through the defense, such as changing the hemagglutinin in the surface protein.

Hemagglutinin is a common target for immune system antibodies that prevent viruses from binding to cell receptors.By changing one or two protein components, hemagglutinin can bind more tightly to cells, allowing the virus to enter the cell and replicate, while preventing antibodies from stopping the virus from spreading.When the virus multiplies in large numbers, people will get sick.

Especially after this process, if the virus invades some important organs and replicates in large quantities, such as the lungs, liver and other areas, it may also trigger an overreaction of the immune system, that is, an immune factor storm. At this time, those immune cells are not only attacking The virus, which can also implicate normal cells, can cause organ failure in a short period of time.

If this technology is really available, it means that the defense against viruses is not limited to the level of biological targets, and viruses or bacteria will be less likely to invade the human body. At the same time, even if the first step is skipped, if this system can identify viruses more accurately Compared with normal cells, it can also prevent the occurrence of immune storms.

Of course, if, as you said, this kind of chip combined with nanorobots can also repair the damage of internal organs in the human body, then it will be even more beneficial to ordinary people.Because our organs are being damaged all the time, just like now, the high-end cigars we are smoking will not show mercy to your lung cells just because they are expensive.No matter how expensive champagne is, the alcohol in it will cause irreversible damage to liver cells. "

After Rot Marlborough finished speaking, the two picked up their cigars and began to puff.

This is human beings.

Although they knew that smoking was depleting their vitality, it was obvious to the two of them that this depletion was valuable.

"I probably understand that if there is such a technology, there must be advantages and disadvantages. Of course, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, of course, the premise is that this kind of chip can maintain normal working efficiency at all times." Nissen Meng Barton exhaled a puff of thick smoke and said with emotion.

"No, no, if there is such a technology, it means that people's understanding of themselves has reached another level. Maybe the side effects are not so severe, but I am sure of one thing. Since the biochip you said can regulate your immunity system, can repair your organs, and at the same time, the biochip also controls your life and death, I think this is the scariest thing."

Rot Marlborough shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Neeson Mountbatten looked at Obote Laylow, who was standing by the side, and looked at Rot Marlborough, who was already looking very hazy, through the heavy smoke, showing a meaningful smile , said with a deep meaning: "If you say this, I don't think it's so scary. In fact, think about it carefully, Professor Marlborough, is our destiny and even our life really in our own hands? To tell you the truth, this My biggest emotion this year is that the higher the status, the less free it is.”

"It's like you, although you are well-dressed, but if one day your achievements are not satisfactory to those big people, what will happen? The things we can control in this world are actually insignificant. It was the same before, and it is the same now. You I think you have free will and the right to choose, but in fact your life has been decided since the day you were born. It’s as if you were born in a nobleman and destined to receive a good education, but I was born in a rural area and can only go to the worst school Goof around."

Rot Marlborough was a little puzzled by Neeson Mountbatten's sudden emotion, and asked with a frown, "Are you trying to express that you have obtained everything you have now through struggle?"

Neeson Mountbatten smiled and said: "No, no, no, I just want to say that we can sit together and talk today because we sell different things. What you sell is wisdom, but I can only sell myself, even if it is Life. Well, let's stop here today..."

Speaking of which, Neeson Mountbatten took out a prepared check from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the final payment, by the way, please remember our confidentiality agreement."

The moment he saw the check, Rot Marlborough finally smiled implicitly, probably feeling that the money was earned so easily: "Don't worry, I have served many rich people, and their evaluation of me very high."

"By the way, there is one more thing. If one day I die suddenly without warning, I will leave a will and donate my body to your laboratory. Please check my body carefully at that time, maybe There will be surprises."

When Rot Marlborough stretched out his hand to take the check, Neeson Mountbatten suddenly added another sentence.

Rot Marlborough glanced at Neeson Mountbatten, well, he thought this guy was probably really crazy.

However, judging from the rich people he came into contact with, these people have more or less eccentricities, and Rot Marlborough has long been used to it. For the sake of money, he still nodded with a smile. He just took the check from Neeson Mountbatten, carefully looked at the payable and the amount of the check, and replied: "I wrote it down, and my memory has always been pretty good."

"Now, Obote, send Professor Marlborough to the hotel."
