Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The briefing is still going on. Marcus handed the podium to Zhou Rui and several special guests, including several genetic experts, biology professors, pharmaceutical company CEOs, health officials, etc.

Everyone will have more discussions, and Zhou Rui doesn't care whether the direction of the discussion is good or bad.

The briefing itself was held to test the reaction of the outside world. On the contrary, the voice of doubt is more useful. It spreads out, arouses everyone's discussion, and then gets more comprehensive feedback.

But what is more surprising is that the discussion process is relatively positive, even with a faint sense of excitement.

Maybe everyone thinks that this thing is still a little far from being used by people, or maybe Master Zhou himself is here and dare not speak out.

However, even if the briefing has not ended, the news about its content has grown wings and flown out of the "Fu Rui Pavilion".

Some media have already revealed the relevant news in the form of flash reports.

"Major breakthrough, Lingshu Bio announced two new technologies at the Science and Technology Expo."

"Real-time report, Master Zhou has broken the secrets of the human brain, and future geniuses will no longer rely solely on talent."

"The Master has a new work, which is related to everyone and will change the future!"

"Shocked, an academician actually said such a challenging statement in public"

All kinds of news were flying around, and even visitors to the Science and Technology Expo received it.

In the main venue, a man with a messy beard and a little fat was looking through his mobile phone. After seeing the news, he immediately clicked on it.

After a while, he shook his head unconsciously.

A lot of people gathered around him in a corner of the exhibition hall, seemingly for the purpose of filming, holding more professional cameras.

At the same time, there were also many beauties, seven or eight at a glance, but they looked a little too "flashy" and didn't look like serious reporters.

A man who looked like an assistant came over, also holding a mobile phone: "Mr. Zhang, we seem to have big news at Furui Pavilion."

The bearded man nodded and said: "It's a pity that our reservation quota is not today. I didn't expect Furui Group to make a big news on the first day. What a pity."

The assistant nodded and said: "I took a look. Our user base is not enough. There are only dozens of contents about the Science and Technology Expo on the platform. We have to hurry up today. We must come up with at least 100 different contents and mix and cut 500 to complete today's work."

The bearded man: "Well, everything that should be explained has been explained. Let's disperse and work."

The group of people dispersed separately, basically in groups of two or three, some holding cameras, and some simply holding mobile phones, heading towards various booths.

The theme of the shooting is the Science and Technology Expo, but the forms are varied. Products of various companies can be photographed, and beautiful women visiting the exhibition can also be photographed. The statue at the entrance alone was photographed seven or eight times.

The bearded man has been standing in place, as if he is a hub here.

After thinking for a while, he took out his laptop from his backpack and squatted on the ground to process something, but he looked in the direction of "Fu Rui Pavilion" from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, a size 45 big foot appeared in sight, approached backwards, and then stepped on his backpack.

"Hey~ sorry sorry, I didn't mean it."

The bearded man looked up speechlessly and saw a tall young man who was half a head taller than him, but at first glance he had the temperament of a college student.

There were a few companions around, and they were also nervous. The clothes on their bodies also had the name of the school, "Harbin Institute of Technology".

Mr. Zhang checked the backpack. Except for a big footprint on the outside, there was no other damage. He was a little annoyed, but still waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The tall young man stood at a loss for a while, then disappeared for a few minutes, and came back after a while, handing him a bottle of iced black tea.

"Uncle, it was my fault just now. I bought you a bottle of drink."

The bearded man stood up directly: "What did you call me?"

Did you come back specifically to stab me in the back?

"Uh, brother, I called you wrong. From your accent, you are from East Province?"

The bearded man was stunned: "Why?"

"I am also from East Province, Zhushiyin, my name is Wei Hang."

"Your accent is wrong, isn't it?"

"Do I have an accent? Where in East Province are you from, brother?"

The immature and stupid feeling made the bearded man unable to blame him. Besides, they were all from East Province, so he took the drink and said a few more words.

"I am from Qinghe County, a small place, you may not have heard of it."

Wei Hang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "How can I not have heard of Qinghe? It is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery! It is the hometown of Master Zhou!"

The bearded man was stunned, and then he reacted, shook his head and laughed: "That's right, Qinghe County is no longer unknown now."

Originally, he just stepped on someone's bag, compensated for a bottle of drink and apologized, and the topic should have ended here, but when he heard that the other party was from Qinghe County, Wei Hang tried to start a conversation again.

"What's your name, brother? Is your home close to Master Zhou's? I heard there are only two high schools in Qinghe, you are not his classmate, right?"

Seeing the other's messy beard and slightly fat belly, Wei Hang changed his words and said, "Or maybe he is his senior?"

The bearded man lowered his head and continued to work: "We are from the same school, but we are not familiar with each other."

Obviously, many people have asked this question, and the other party's answer was not sincere.

Wei Hang also felt that the other party was not so fond of chatting, so he stopped pestering.

But he seemed to be tired from shopping, so he also took a bottle of drink and rested against the wall, staring at the GJ Power Grid booth not far away.

After a few more minutes, the bearded man took the initiative to stir up the conversation.

"Zhou Rui is your idol?"

Wei Hang nodded first, then shook his head:

"It's not all because of this. I think I met Master Zhou when I was a child, a few years ago, but I'm not sure. Does Master Zhou know how to box? A boxing method called 'Six Qigong'?"

The bearded man shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. Didn't he practice Li Caifu Boxing? It happened a long time ago."

"Well, I must have made a mistake. Someone taught me several postures before. I always thought that person was Master Zhou. You know Master Zhou quite well."

"After all, I am from Qinghe County. How can I get around this guy who has calluses on his ears?"

The bearded man raised his head and glanced at the guy's height and said:

"You, a student of Harbin Institute of Technology, don't want to study hard and wonder what martial arts is for. Let me tell you, don't look at the bells and whistles of martial arts. People who have practiced martial arts still use bricks to fight."

Wei Hang scratched the back of his head: "It's just about keeping fit. I haven't fallen behind in my studies, but the technology outside is changing too fast now. I am studying aerospace, and Master Zhou is making too fast progress in this field. I feel that there are some things taught in school. outdated."

The bearded man said with an experienced tone: "It is good to study in college. You must cherish the opportunity. Besides, if you want to catch up with Zhou... the leader's speed, you are thinking too much."

After a moment of silence, the bearded man added:

"No one can keep up with his speed."

"Ordinary people should have ordinary expectations. It is better to let yourself go when chasing an impossible goal."

Wei Hang said nothing. For an energetic college student, it was difficult to listen to such words, especially a sudden lecture from a stranger.

I subconsciously said something back: "Adults just think too negatively. They always want to lie down."

The two did not discuss whether the "college student" was an adult.

But the topic stopped completely, and the bearded man didn't refute, just smiled.

Anyone who has not listened to advice will wake up when they enter society.

After a while, a classmate came to find him. Wei Hang said nothing and went to another exhibition area with his classmates.

The bearded man worked quietly like this. From time to time, a shooting team of two or three would come back, fix it up, and then continue to leave. Only he never moved.

Gradually, the time arrived in the afternoon. It gets dark early in winter, and it was already a little dark outside.

Although the number of people around him has not decreased, everyone is becoming more and more exhausted physically and mentally, and their steps have become sloppy and weak. There are many people staying at the edge to rest, so the space around the bearded man is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more and more people. many.

I simply cleaned up and moved outside. Although it was colder, it was clean.

After notifying the filming team one by one of the new location, the bearded man continued working, just like countless migrant workers who came to see the exhibition because of work.

The complicated and interesting Science and Technology Expo is just part of their work, and they have no time to savor it carefully.

Until a pair of size 44 shoes stopped in front of me.

"Zhang Xin?"

The bearded man looked up blankly, then remained blankly silent for a while, and finally shivered all over.

Zhou Rui, who was wearing a baseball cap, looked at the person in front of him strangely.

He could hardly recognize him. He was his former high school classmate who was somewhat handsome.

He was unshaven, a little fat, and weighed at least 40 pounds more than he remembered.

This is almost a cosmetic change for anyone's appearance, and Zhou Rui only tentatively called out these two words.

Unexpectedly, I called it right.

Zhang Xin stood up subconsciously. He wanted to pick up his bag and turned around to leave, leaving behind a sentence: "You have the wrong person."

But the hand holding the shoulder strap of the backpack could not be lifted up, as if the backpack weighed a thousand kilograms.

Finally sat down slumped.

But the voice was more free and easy: "You can also recognize that I am really convinced."
