Cyber Heroes

After saying a lot, Jing Hongtu was also a little sluggish. He seems to be getting old quickly, and his energy is not as good as before.

He coded the books one by one in Xiang Shan's hands, as if he wanted to give him the entire study.

He suddenly sighed: "I seem to put too much pressure on you. For me, letting you take over the position of Chief-In-Charge in the research department may be the greatest achievement of my life. It’s not an exaggeration to say that that’s it. As a technology developer, you have done more beautifully than the daydreams I had done before. You have reconciled the war, brought development, and are about to eradicate famine. Perhaps poverty will also Become the past tense... When the world is the most corrupt, I can't even dream of such a good thing."

"In the rest of my life, I may not be able to do something bigger than this. It's done. I really hope that you can win, Xiao Xiang. In the constant battle, you will get the final victory."

Xiang Shan feels the weight of the book in his hand. The density of paper is heavier than bricks and even larger than some stones. Xiang Shan put down the book and bowed his head and said, "Although I haven't officially taught, I have learned a lot from you. You are my teacher."

Jing Hongtu shook the head: "I It’s just an external cause. The elements of your awakening to be self-acting were prepared before we went to the Rama project."

Xiang Shan laughed: "Don’t say anything impossible to make bigger Achievements... I think you are still writing? Maybe there are some terrifying academic achievements?"

"Huh? That? Science fiction." Jing Hongtu smiled: "After all, I didn't catch up. Get on this bus. In the past few years, I still want to pick up the dream when I was young. Would you like to see it?"

Xiang Shan picked up the unfinished manuscript.

Xiang Shan fell into the white paper.

——This is my penultimate visit......

——Why do I...... would like to visit that time......

Paper white, turned into another kind of white.

The air is full of the smell of disinfectant and a faint scent of smoke.

Xiang Shan trembled all over.

The late summer of 2043. The leaves of the landscape tree outside the window have begun to turn yellow.

Xiang Shan sits on a chair, holding an old hand.

That is an old woman. She whispered: "Mountain, now you are a great scientist and a Big Boss. You are so busy with you, don't have to come to see me all the time."

"How can it be." Xiang Shan squeezed the woman's hand tightly: "You will be your mother in my life."

His nose is a bit sore.

"This child..." Mother took her hand back and patted him with a smile, "Your eldest cousin came to see me two days ago. His son's college entrance examination this year, the subject of the composition is that you are in Peking University. The speech."

Xiang Shan smiled shyly: "That's a small thing..."

"It's still small, our ancestors have never done such a big deal in eight lifetimes. The whole family is in your light. The past few days, all distant relatives have come to see me all the way." Mother said with a smile: "Mountain, you are a major event person. It is said that you are not in your turn. My old lady is here to worry. But mom, there are just a few things I can’t let go of."

"Mom..." Xiang Shan held his mother's hand again: "Your son has ability now. What can’t be done. What can you say."

"Your grandma walked early, and I don’t know if it was this disease. Your auntie also walked with this disease." Mother said: "You are now I have ability, and I have the most professional...that or something. I also do some screening for those cousins ​​in the family. Maybe you can find and treat early...and you are also alone Same."

Xiang Shan lowered his head: "I won’t have this kind of disease again. Really. They don’t matter. I don’t matter."

"Yes Yes, I know you have the ability. Hey." Mother laughed: "Don't talk about it. Tell me something about you. Xiaozhu is a good child... You two have been together for so many years, why don't you get married? Little Girl has never been named, so don't you let people laugh."

Xiang Shan lowered his head. He actually has a lot to say, because he considers himself to be innovative and progressive. But he said nothing.

"While you took the girl home, ho, your dad and I were so happy. He drank three glasses of white wine on the 2nd day happily...obviously the liver is not good. Both of us I thought you were going to get married soon. We have grandchildren. But what about you... Mom doesn't mean you. You are all people with great abilities and are busy. But no matter how busy you are, you have to have a home, right? Child has no time to ask. Lao Xiang's family is not just you, but Xiao Zhu has been with you for so many years, so he must give someone a name, right?"

"Yes..." Xiang Shan He lowered his head, teardrops on the ground: "I'll go back...to prepare...wedding..."

"Oh, don't. You will follow my anniversary after your wedding anniversary, bad luck." Mother's Covering Xiang Shan's head with a hand: "Mom didn't force you... You child, don't cry. I saw your father down below, how can I tell him? My son is crying. Shan...Mom I still hope that you can live your life happily."

Xiang Shan fell forward, and White’s sheets were crushed by him, and then re-formed into White’s elegiac couplet.

In the memory space more than two hundred years later, there is the cry of my son.

Zhu Xinyu is sitting opposite Xiang Shan. This is the edge of Spirit Hall. In recent years, the country has promoted frugality and new funeral customs, and the deceased did not like to do big things during their lives, so there is no wreath paper money, no complicated ceremony. The body was filled with white chrysanthemums sent by people from all walks of life. Under several large bamboo flower baskets, there are elegiac couplets signed by leaders or embassies of various countries.

Zhu Xinyu looked at the most recent one "temperament is thick, a hundred generations of descendants and grandchildren".

Extremely sad and proud.

The brief ceremony is over. Only immediate family members and a small number of friends are here. Xiang Shan rarely wears a formal dress. He was wearing AR glasses and flicking his forehead weakly, as if he was reading something.

Zhu Xinyu only felt sour in her heart and wiped her tears.

This is the fall of 43 years.

David and Yoggmov are standing by. David is in a black suit with white paper flowers on his chest. Yoggmov wore a thick black down jacket. It's still autumn. For the climate of Beiping, Yoggmov's outfit is a bit too exaggerated.

He said dullly: "Sorry...didn't help."

David also lowered his head: "I didn't do it well, I'm sorry..."

"When I read similar industry reports a few years ago, I said that cryonics technology can be commercialized in 15 years. I will look at it this year, huh, 20 years. I’m afraid that I’m not going to need a second time when I look at it next time. It's been fifteen years."

The tone is very strange and depressing.

If there is anything that can save the elderly who cannot undergo genetic modification surgery of the benchmark human, it should be "cryonics".

The current technology is too late, but the future technology may be possible.

"No way..." David's voice was very small.

"I didn't blame you either." Xiang Shan put his hand on his forehead, "NASA and CNSA have cut funding for the Homo sapiens cryonics project and switched to benchmark human cryonics. This technology is In order to colonize outer space, there will not be Homo astronauts in the future. Benchmark humans are more suitable for conquering space than Homo sapiens."

"Medical circles...The complication of'species renewal' is now the focus of medical circles. Overcome the target. In this regard, it is even less difficult for Homo sapiens to become a benchmark person. As long as it becomes a benchmark person, 80% of Homo sapiens' diseases are not a concern... plus the prostheticization. We can conquer illness and disability."

"However, the sci-fi things like'Change Species' have been done, why can't we do the'Homo sapiens freezing'......"

>

David was speechless.

The cryonics institution he contacted didn't dare to exaggerate this group of rare beast-sized superhuman corporate controllers. They gave the correct technical information. According to the judgment of experts such as Chen Feng... Existing technology does not guarantee that Homo sapiens can recover after entering the freezing. In addition, even if recovery is possible, irreversible brain damage is inevitable.

Moreover, after 20 or 30 years, research in the medical field will turn to benchmark people in an all-round way.

Yoggmov kicked the ground with his toes: "You can hate me if you want to hate."

Xiang Shan put his hands on his eyes: "We want to save the world, seven percent Ten people can enjoy four hundred years of lifespan, get rid of famine, and have immense merit. I hate what you do."

"There are obvious biological differences between benchmark people and Homo sapiens. The medical technology required by benchmark people It’s different from Homo sapiens. The cryonics program applicable to benchmark humans cannot be applied to Homo sapiens."

The biggest difficulty in freezing humans is that after the water in the human body turns into ice crystals, it will change from Destroy body tissues at the cellular level. There are only two ways to solve this problem. First, it freezes instantly, so that water molecules can't form ice crystals before they are fixed in their original positions. The second is to replace the water with the protective liquid.

The former is impossible. The level of human physics and engineering cannot reach the level of freezing the human body instantly and uniformly. Homo sapiens is also too weak to resist damage and cannot "take out the brain for quick freezing without injury."

Protective fluid is the more likely way.

However, the existing protective liquid is not safe.

The process of replacing blood with the protective solution may cause a series of chemical damage.

According to the timetable launched by Superman, the benchmark human genetic modification surgery will be implemented on everyone within ten years. With good luck, people born after the 1990s can enjoy this treatment.

And Homo sapiens' cryonics technology, it will take at least more than ten years to produce results-this is a technology destined to be narrow in scope.

Zhu Xinyu couldn’t help saying: "That many rich old rich man. Are they willing to..."

"It’s meaningless." Xiang Shan put out a breath, "They Their money is capital. They can’t let the capital increase, and the capital will be earned by others. They can’t infinitely transfer the funds of the companies under their names, otherwise the market rules will allow them to be swept out. They can only use the funds that they can use personally. Invest in this project... how much money can you have?"

"But what about the country...not to mention, that many members of the United States of America and electors, none of them promised to prepare human bodies for the elderly Freezing technology?"

Yoggmov sneered: "There are a few. But for conservatives, contracting to religious institutions is much cheaper."

David holds Hold Xiang Shan's hand: "Mountain... as long as you want... as long as you give an order, we can set up a project."

"There are only so many resources." Xiang Shan put down and covered his eyes His hand, staring at David—that was the look Zhu Xinyu had never seen before. He replied: "The technology here is one day late for the breakthrough, and about 300,000 people will be disqualified for surgery. One day early for the breakthrough is the well-being of 300,000 people... What should I do?"

Zhu Xinyu walked to Xiang Shan's side and hugged his head: "Manpower is sometimes exhausted...Resources are poor. It's not your fault."

Xiang Shan leaned against Zhu Xinyu's chest:" Xinyu..."

"en?"

"I know you don't like your father...but he is also an old man. Go and see him when you have time." Xiang Shan looked towards the surroundings: "If you are free, go and see the elderly."
