Chapter 106 Breakthrough [2nd Update]
Then, He Jun passively entered into a treatment process of doubting his life, and his initial questioning of "How could there be such a treatment method" changed to "How could there be such a magical treatment method?" He was in shock all the time and never came out of it.
After going through such a mental journey, only one-third of his treatment had passed, but he was more aware of the changes in his body than anyone else.
"Ruan Xi, your treatment method is truly amazing... In the past, I would have regular physical examinations and maintenance at the research institute every month..."
He Jun's miraculous theory hadn't been completed when Ruan Xi interrupted him speechlessly, "Maintenance? Do you think you're a robot or a mecha? The research institute's gene repair technology won't work on your old injury. The most likely cause is the original cause of the injury."
"Alien?"
He Jun didn't care that Ruan Xi said he was a robot or a mecha. What's more, Ruan Xi was just kindly helping him get rid of the word "maintenance", which sounded inhumane to him. After all, it was still about him, so he naturally didn't want to resist.
After hearing the following topic, he immediately perked up. Fighting made him happy. He felt that he had not yet avenged his family, but those alien races had not appeared for many years, which made him a little melancholy.
Ruan Xi heard the unfinished meaning in his words and raised her eyebrows slightly. After two seconds of silence, she continued, "Yes, the physiological structure of alien races is different from ours. Moreover, He Ziqian said that the weapons of alien races are far more advanced than ours. I don't understand the principle behind this, but this kind of suppression that is one or even several levels higher is definitely not safe and harmless."
At this moment, Ruan Xi looked at He Jun as if to say - you are the most typical example.
He Jun: “…” Really, there’s absolutely no way to refute it.
"I'm really curious about the alien race's body structure. I think if we can crack the secrets of their bodies, then when the alien race attacks again, it will be easier for us to occupy them."
Ruan Xi was not too arrogant. Even if he didn't understand, he could understand that war always required the right time, place, and people. Without any of these, victory would become a luxury.
He was not looking forward to the outbreak of war again, but he hoped that a few lone aliens would come to Sirius to provoke him, and then be captured. Wouldn't that give him a research subject?
Of course, his research would definitely not involve opening up the body or slicing it up, but just studying some cell tissues.
He was now thinking about when he could get an alien to conduct research. Of course, it was not the interstellar era research that was too modern for him, but the research that used his own traditional methods, which would make him more comfortable.
Ruan Xi was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the change in He Jun's gaze. It wasn't until He Jun started talking that he came back to his senses. "Ah, Uncle He, what did you just say? Sorry, I was thinking."
Although he was thinking about other things and not paying attention to what He Jun was saying, the acupuncture movements in his hands were precise and effective without any ambiguity.
"The research institute preserves ethnic samples. If you need them..."
"I need it! I really need it!" Ruan Xi's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. If he was not still giving acupuncture to He Jun, he would have probably rushed to the research institute.
If he had known this, he would have agreed to go with them to visit the research institute last time. He felt like he had missed out on the whole world!
He Jun thought that at Ruan Xi's age, it would be difficult for him to calm down after getting so excited. However, he quickly regained his composure as a doctor, as if he had never been excited before. He Jun was stunned and hesitated for a long time before asking the question in his mind.
"You... don't want to go again?"
Isn't this calming down too quickly?
"I want to go, very much. After today's treatment is over, I will go to the research institute." Ruan Xi answered as a matter of course, but He Jun was stunned for a long time.
I feel that such a calm temperament is not like that of a child who has just become an adult.
However, given He Jun's personality, this kind of question wouldn't bother him for long, and he quickly changed the subject.
"In that great war with alien races, more than tens of millions of people were injured. My father was also injured. Are all people like me?" These words sounded a bit like a riddle, but when the words came to his lips, He Jun felt that it was difficult to express himself, so he could only say what he wanted to say.
"No, I checked Grandpa He. His condition is much better than yours. The effect of his old injury has been close to zero. If it was Grandpa He who was injured in the last sneak attack, his condition would definitely be much better than yours."
He Jun: “…” He was so embarrassed. What he said didn’t sound right. It felt like he was doing something bad with good intentions. It was weird.
However, he also heard the hidden meaning in Ruan Xi's words. After pondering for a while, he spoke again: "In other words, whether there is an impact, and the extent of the impact, depends on the individual."
"Yes, that's right." Ruan Xi gave a look of appreciation that said "You are very smart", then lowered her head and continued to busy herself, which made He Jun feel a little amused and helpless.
I always felt that he was being coaxed like a child, which made me feel a little amused and helpless.
"But what is the standard? Could it be a conspiracy of aliens?" For example, if the aliens have been hiding for many years after the great war, and are planning a big game or something, it makes people worry!
"When have the aliens not plotted against us? But this incident shouldn't be an alien plot. It's too difficult and hard to control. So, I think it must be an accident. And this accident, however, reacted to the human constitution. I don't think this is a bad thing, like Uncle He."
Ruan Xi paused here deliberately, stretched out his hand and poked He Jun's wrist, then quickly slid out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and turned around to stab He Jun's wrist. He Jun couldn't wait for his brain to react, and his body immediately made a defense. If he didn't know that Ruan Xi didn't really want to hurt him, he would have fought back naturally.
"See? Do you feel that your reaction speed has become faster?" Ruan Xi has done such reaction speed experiments several times without making a sound. In each experiment, He Jun did not disappoint him. His reaction speed became faster and faster. Today, his reaction speed is so fast that people can only see the afterimage of his hand.
He Jun looked at his right hand in disbelief. After a long while, he said, "My reaction speed has indeed increased. Moreover, the improvement is very significant. This is incredible..."
"So, I said this isn't necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, I think it's a good thing..."
"Because this is closely related to human evolution, right?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. Ruan Xi subconsciously turned around and saw He Ziqian walking in without surprise.
"Sorry, I knocked on the door, but you two seemed too engrossed in your conversation to hear me, so I came in myself." He Ziqian first expressed his apologies, and then explained that he did knock on the door, then walked in and closed the door.
However, it failed to close successfully. Two people from the research institute were standing in front of the door. They came to check on He Jun on a routine basis.
However, after hearing Ruan Xi and the others' conversation, the two of them became obviously overly excited. Ruan Xi looked at their excited expressions, as if they wanted to jump high on the spot, and silently stepped back.
He felt that these two people might lose their minds at any moment. Otherwise, should he go to the research institute on another day?
"It must be human evolution! I was saying my research and analysis were a bit stuck, but this is it, this is it. Humanity is seeking living space in the reverse mirror. Nature is fair to all existence, so after we demonstrate sufficient vitality, nature also gives us the due reward, which is human evolution... If this is confirmed, it will definitely be the most valuable breakthrough in human history! I have to go back and tell everyone immediately!"
A scientific researcher started jumping up and down in his place with excitement, and he looked like he wanted to punch the ceiling directly. Ruan Xi was speechless, but he couldn't help but sigh at the persistence of these pure scientific researchers.
Relying on the alien samples, these people have probably never relaxed for even a second. Even if it means burning their own lives, they only hope to find a way to victory!
Ruan Xi admired such people, however, they were a little too crazy and he couldn't adapt to them.
"Oh, and you too! Ruan Xi, come back with us! With you here, this experiment will definitely be successful! Let's go now, okay?"
At least he remembered to add a question at the end, otherwise, Ruan Xi might really be scared... Nonsense, there is no possibility of being scared, he is just not used to it, he is not that timid.
"Okay, I'll finish today's treatment." Ruan Xi still didn't forget the movements of his hands, and he still didn't need to look, but he was terribly accurate. The funniest thing was that no one, whether doctors, patients or anyone else, had the leisure to pay attention to the treatment movements of Ruan Xi's hands. They all fell into the pit of "human evolution" and didn't want to climb out for the time being. Even He Jun wanted to struggle to get up, but was pushed back by Ruan Xi without mercy.
"You changed your mind so quickly and don't want to follow the doctor's orders?" Ruan Xi's voice was absolutely gentle, but the threat in his eyes was genuine. He Jun immediately backed off. All that came to his mind were the various medicinal powders with special effects that He Ziqian had introduced to him and that were personally made by Ruan Xi. How could he dare not back off?
"No! I'll be obedient! I promise to be obedient!" Without a special medicine, he couldn't bear such a heavy burden!
"That's about right." Then, he continued the treatment, inserting and retracting the silver needles one by one until the treatment for today was over. He then stood up and prepared to leave without any reluctance.
"He Ziqian, come with me and inform Grandpa He to send someone to keep an eye on him. I think he might not be well behaved." Ruan Xi turned around and pointed at He Jun with a smile while speaking, which made He Jun feel guilty for a while.
Holy shit, this little genius doctor can even read minds!
