In November 2177 in the Gregorian calendar, the "Intelligent Creature Exploration" plan was discussed and approved by the consortium at the beginning of the month, and the case was filed in the middle of the month. It is intended to gather global power to build a large spacecraft near the orbit of the moon. age of sailing.

At the end of the same month, Chen Xiansong, a natural person, sat in a private self-propelled maglev car and went to the No. 10125 Hospital in the city center along the three-dimensional traffic pipeline.In the three-dimensional image in the car, the beautiful new human announcer, the beautiful woman, is reading the manuscript paper in her hand according to the script. In a good word, it is meticulous, but in a bad word, it is rigid and dull.

Chen Xiansong listened to it for a while, felt bored, clicked a few times on the panel with his fingers, and switched to another channel. This is a natural musician, a lady named Li Hongdan, who is playing Beethoven’s Symphony of Destiny in Vienna Square song.The passionate music echoed in the car, and Dong Xiansong couldn't help but beat to the music. At this moment, a slender finger stretched out from the side, turning the stereoscopic image back to the news channel.

Chen Xiansong turned his head and begged, "Sister Bai, can I even listen to music?"

"No!" Sister Bai, who has a girlish and beautiful face, looked at him gently: "Your condition is not suitable for being too emotional, and you can't listen to such passionate music." While talking, she checked on the panel menu , and then said: "Five minutes and 31 seconds later, Ms. Li Hongdan will play a 'Lullaby', I suggest you listen to this piece."

Chen Xiansong said: "In 5 minutes, we will arrive at the hospital."

"No, it will take another 6 minutes and 12 seconds to arrive at the hospital." Sister Bai pushed the plain glasses on her nose: "You have 31 seconds to enjoy Ms. Chen Hongdan's lullaby."

The new humans will not have the "physical defect" of myopia, and glasses are just a decoration for them.The popular aesthetic view of new human beings comes from natural people.Most natural people have mild or severe myopia. They feel that natural people wearing glasses have an indescribably refined taste, they like it very much, and imitate them accordingly.

"Forget it, don't listen to it. It's very boring to listen to the beginning and not the end." Chen Xiansong waved his hands, leaning on the cushion, twisting his back and looking out the window. There are many tall buildings below him. He whispered: " Isn't it just a little fever, why are you so nervous?"

Sister Bai smiled: "Of course it is very important. Facts have proved that all serious illnesses are slowly brewed from minor illnesses. You are a natural person, and your physical fitness is not as good as Sister Bai. I am afraid that I will get sick. You need more careful attention." Protect."

Chen Xiansong sighed and did not speak again.

Such a situation happens to almost every natural person.Fifty years ago, the number of natural persons accounted for one thousandth of the total population, but now it is less than one ten thousandth.Old natural persons die one by one, but the birth rate of new natural persons is getting lower and lower.

The reason for this is very simple. First, the ability of the new humans is almost superhuman, with a learning ability three times higher than that of natural humans, perfect physique, and fast nerve reaction speed.Every new human possesses the two abilities of what the old century called 'Eagle Eye, Dynamic Vision'.An ordinary new human girl can run faster than a leopard and overturn an elephant with one hand, not to mention those professional soldiers and policemen who have been specially genetically enhanced and trained in a special way.

The second is that the lifespan of new humans is extremely long, theoretically it can reach about 100 years old.But in fact, no new human has reached this age, because it has only been more than [-] years since the birth of the first new human.

Also because of this, after marriage, parents of natural persons go directly to the hospital for the cultivation of test-tube babies, and then modify the DNA during the embryonic development to make their children a new human, and the child born from the combination of a new human and a new human , naturally also a new human being.As one ebbs and the other grows, there will be fewer and fewer natural people.

Sister Bai looks like a young girl, but she is actually 78 years old. She is the sixth batch of new human beings. Her specialty is the strengthening of the memory center and the ultimate development of logical thinking.She was originally a member of the government. One night more than ten years ago, she came back late because of work. When she passed a sewer manhole cover, she heard the faint cry of a baby nearby.After listening carefully for a while, I realized that the sound was coming from the sewer.

She lifted the well cover by herself and climbed down the well ladder, and found a baby who was just born, about the size of a big mouse, with an umbilical cord attached to her body, and was lying naked in the dirty and smelly room. In the mud and feces, weeping loudly.

The new humans are emotionally repressed and introverted, but Sister Bai almost burst into tears seeing the newborn child suffer so much.She took off his coat, wiped his body clean, picked him up carefully, and went to file the case with his underwear exposed.

After warning investigation and DNA inspection, it was confirmed that this is a new human baby, and then the mother of the baby was found, a natural girl with a rebellious personality. A baby was born in the toilet, and because he was afraid of taking responsibility, he gritted his teeth and flushed the baby from the toilet into the sewer.

This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and there was a lot of discussion on the Internet. Because the new human beings have an extremely long life span, in order to prevent human beings from crowding the earth, there is a birth restriction law.If you want to have a child, you must apply to the government, and there are too many applicants. In addition, the government's birth restriction principle is: one less can have one.

The lifespan of the new humans is too long, so they can only get the chance to reproduce when some new humans die unexpectedly or natural people die of old age.The time for this application is slowly arranged, and it usually takes more than ten or twenty years.

After finding out the reason, the police determined that the girl’s murder was attempted and sent her to a women’s prison in the opposite hemisphere for five years. At the same time, she was determined to be incapable of being a mother, deprived of her parental parenting rights, and ordered her to never have a relationship with her son. Meet.Later, the police released the custody rights of the baby, hoping that someone could adopt the child. As a result, as soon as the announcement was released on the Internet, 300 million applications were received in just one hour, and another 24 applications were received within 1000 hours. Tens of thousands of application forms were sent over the Internet.

I don't know how many new human families are eager to have a child, even if it is not their own, it doesn't matter.

Sister Bai stood out from thousands of troops and won the custody of the child. There was only a simple sentence in her application form, "The moment I picked him up, I saw an angel, and he was destined to be my child." . '

This result made many people sigh with disappointment, but no one complained. The Internet was full of messages wishing Sister Bai and the child.

The day after the custody decision was made, the police issued a new announcement. For the healthy growth of the child, I hope all websites and media will delete any reports related to this case, and I hope all insiders will forget about it.The police even forged the child's birth certificate themselves.

So Chen Xiansong had a new identity. His parents were well-known painters and musicians at the time, but during a trip, there was a car accident, and only Chen Xiansong survived.In order to prevent the child's mother from harassing the child and affecting the child's mental health after being released from prison, Sister Bai carried Chen Xiansong to live in a new city, and the police took the initiative to help them cover up their identities.Sister Bai wasn't originally called Sister Bai. This was the name she got after she went to the new city.

As soon as the announcement came out, it was recognized by people all over the world.After just one night, the details of this case disappeared from all websites and media materials, and people who knew about it on the Internet stopped talking about it, as if it had never happened.

The way this case was handled later became a reference model for similar cases. It is impossible for such a significant case to remain anonymous. With a wave, the names of the parties involved in the case were all changed, the girl's name became Shu Ke, and Chen Xiansong's name became Beta.

This is the origin of the well-known "Shook and Beta" case in the legal field.

Sister Bai resigned from the government to concentrate on educating and caring for Chen Xiansong.She did not claim to be Chen Xiansong's mother. After the child became sensible, she told Chen Xiansong the "truth" prepared by the police. The reason for this was simple. Sister Bai was a new human being, and it was impossible for her to give birth to natural offspring.A lie needs more lies to cover up, and maybe it will expose the 'truth' set by the police well-intentioned.Instead of lying, it is better to selectively 'tell the truth'.

In fact, what Sister Bai did was very correct. Chen Xiansong, who was about nine years old, was indeed depressed for several days, but then he thought about it and never pursued who his real parents were.

Time passed slowly, under the care of Sister Bai, Chen Xianqing gradually grew up, and showed a good talent in ancient calligraphy and ancient landscape painting.

Every natural person is now a human treasure.The comprehensive ability of any new human is far superior to that of a natural person, throwing a distance as far as several stars, but there is an area, which is a place that a superhuman new human can never touch.

Art!

The new human can play three pieces of music on the piano at the same time at a speed of 5000apm. After seeing a scene, the new human can draw the scene with a carbon pen within 1 minute, which is not bad at all; the new human can sing more than the sound of dolphins. High-level scales, however, they can only 'do it', they can't integrate their souls into it, and they can't sublimate these skills into an art.

To give a simple example, a lake and a forest.If it is a new human being with a video camera, or a camera to take a picture of it.What is shown in the picture is only lakes and forests, with flowers and birds, but such a picture is just a picture anyway, a simple real picture.

If a natural person who is obsessed with photography skills is allowed to take pictures, then the woods and lakes on the screen seem to come alive, giving people a feeling of pleasing to the eye and endless life.

In other words, new humans cannot integrate emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, etc. into their works.

For this phenomenon, the new human beings have carried out more than 90 years of research, and finally came to the conclusion that art is not produced by the information of the brain, but by a special ability bestowed by a higher dimension, one's own soul.The new human has a powerful body, but loses the ability to communicate with his own soul. The more perfect the dna modification is, the more the new human has no relationship with art.

Fortunately, although they can't create art, they still retain the ability to appreciate art. For this, all the new humans are very lucky, otherwise, what is the difference between them and the new biochemical humans.

Cyborgs are robots created by new humans with the ability to think independently.It is not true to say that they are robots. Every organ in the biochemical body is no different from the new human beings. They have flesh and blood, and their abilities are also comparable to the new human beings. However, they have a special biochemical chip in their brains, so their computing power is much stronger than the new human beings. .

Cyborgs also have emotions, but they are more restrained and depressed than new humans.It is difficult to distinguish the new human from the cyborg from the appearance, but if you put a song played by a natural person, or a work described by a natural person, it is easy to tell the difference.

New humans react to works of art, admiring, happy, or sad.The biochemical man did not respond.

Therefore, the new humans believe that cyborgs are also created creatures. Although they have intelligence and emotions, they have no soul, so they cannot appreciate art.Both are "created" creatures, the biochemical man has no soul and is a machine, while the new human has a soul, so it is life.

This is the 'superstitious' view of new humans.

Six minutes later, the maglev car broke away from the aerial pipeline and landed in front of a square.More than a dozen handsome men and women in white coats rushed up to meet them.
