Chapter 393 The Fruit of Life and Green Paradise
Yes, the era of biological life has finally arrived!
This is not some silly joke.
"Zerg genetic technology" is actually the first discipline to achieve major breakthroughs, which can be considered a blessing in disguise. Humans can even use the power of [Deformation Ghosts] and [Blood Ghosts] to a certain extent with the help of the Zerg!
Various papers and achievements are coming in like snowflakes.
After careful discussion among many experts and high-level meetings, it was decided to place a large amount of precious scientific research funds on biology - it's a simple logic, pick the low-hanging fruit first.
As for things like nuclear fusion, it's not that it's unimportant, but the funding is limited, so there's a priority order.
And in the age of the supernatural, biology is clearly not useless.
The "D-Omega Active Drug" provided by Nanyu Civilization is a good thing to increase life span. Although the ant chip attached to the "biochemical reactor" brought a terrible disaster, the disaster was not related to the drug.
Those machines can still continue to produce drugs.
D-Omega active drug can increase life expectancy. It is a purely physical drug with low cost.
Countless students have begun to engage in work in this field, and new factories and research institutes are being established with great fanfare.
Secondly, Zerg hormone enhancement potion is also the hottest topic recently, and this research tends to be idealistic.
Gene transplantation is unacceptable to many people, but if it is just an organ transplant without changing the genes, but can achieve good functions... then it seems acceptable.
…
"Good evening, dear audience friends."
"In today's program, our guest is Professor Lu Tiantian from the Academy of Sciences..."
"Let us learn how he overcame the power of the [ghost] and turned it into treasure..."
The broadcast of the TV program "The Past Fifty Years" immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Related discussions can be heard everywhere in the cafeteria, the square, and the park.
Comrade Lu Ying, who had just been awarded the title of "Hero of Humanity", was enthusiastically walking on the street with his wife. A TV program was being broadcast on the big screen in the square, announcing the arrival of the "biological age".
The tigress at home is now as docile as a sheep, and even peels oranges for him to eat.
He won the war for family status with a crushing victory.
Lu Ying was so happy that the hairs on his forehead stood up: "The age of living things..."
"I heard that if you integrate Zerg genes, your strength and resistance will be greatly improved. I have a brother who has integrated Zerg genes, but my eyesight is not as good as his now. Can you believe it?"
"Come on, we don't know what the side effects of using that thing are."
Lu Ling looked at the big screen. Lu Tiantian was once a member of her small family, but now he has become a white-haired old man. She felt sad.
However, as a scientific researcher, she still carefully evaluated this new idealistic drug with a cautious attitude: "The Zerg have limitations and cannot reproduce."
"And the soul can hold less than a human can."
"The human body is fragile, but the soul is highly malleable and can accommodate 7-9 abilities. The Zerg are highly resistant, but can only accommodate 4-6 abilities. Just based on this point, I think you should choose carefully."
"And this change is irreversible. There is no regret medicine."
"I'm just talking casually now... If technology is advanced in the future, maybe we can break the racial limit?"
Lu Ying took a few deep breaths of fresh air. "Hahaha, let me say that your brother is truly a mighty man sent from heaven. He actually managed to rescue someone from the clutches of a ghost. Of course, your brother Eagle is also pretty awesome. He actually managed to see the ruins deep in the ocean through a depth of 10,000 meters."
"Everyone is awesome! You are the only one who is not so awesome. Keep working hard in the future, my wife, and make more achievements."
Seeing how cocky he was, Lu Ling couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling extremely angry.
But there was nothing she could do. Suddenly, there were two government-certified "human heroes" in her family, and she, who had no title at all, had to be suppressed."
She suddenly thought of that horrible day when Lu Ying suddenly called her and said a few last words.
"Wait for me to come back, we will definitely win."
"Your husband's achievements will eventually be greater than yours!"
At that time, her heart was trembling, as if her soul was frozen...
And now.
She smiled sweetly and held "Brother Eagle"'s arm tightly. "Brother Eagle" really had a near-death experience, but now he is alive and kicking. He can brag about it here. There is no better result than this. Thinking about it, tears welled up in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm glad you're alive."
"How pretentious!" Brother Eagle reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Humph! It's terrible that you're alive!"
…
…
Another focus figure, Comrade Lu Tiantian, is being spotlighted by the whole world.
Reporters came to interview him and colleagues congratulated him so much that the door was almost broken.
The attention of all mankind was projected onto me, and it felt really good at first.
But what is the price behind the glamour?
"You see, my physical strength has been greatly weakened by the [ghost]. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to work at a high intensity in the future." Lu Tiantian pointed at the white hair on his temples, "So I plan to quit some positions and go to school to train doctoral students. The future always belongs to the next generation."
"That's what I plan to do. We veterans won't wither away so easily, and we can still make some use of our remaining energy."
Lu Tiantian bowed slightly, and warm applause broke out in the conference hall.
This interview has ended with unprecedented response, which has touched countless students.
However, for Lu Tiantian himself, it was a summary of his life over the past few decades.
Life is fleeting, passers-by come and go, the crowd is endless, and those who are in it are often swept away by the times. When you look back suddenly, you find that you are actually just one of the crowd.
If you can leave some marks in history, it will be the most brilliant moment in your life.
Lu Tiantian walked down the stage. His family members were waiting. He patted the little girl's stupid head and said, "It's done. Haha, you look touched." (The girl in the small family) The girl still had tears in her eyes and said unhappily, "You like to be a hero. You have a short life span and die early! We have to collect your body! What's the point of having high honors? Or you can get some Zerg genes injected to live longer."
Lu Tiantian brushed his white hair and made a very handsome old uncle look. He smiled and said, "I am a great artist now, do you understand? I may be old but my heart is not old!"
"As for how long I can live, it depends on you. Isn't there a new antioxidant drug?"
The girls slapped him on the shoulder.
"Oh my God... you broke all my old bones!"
Everyone laughed happily.
The small families went to the big canteen together, had a meal, and then went their separate ways.
Lu Tiantian let out a sigh, muttered to himself, "It's great to be young," and turned back to the office.
He is a person who cannot sit still, especially after completing the research and development task of [Deformed Ghost], he felt a little empty.
Suddenly remembering something, he took out a document from the drawer. It stated the "S-level talent benefits" that could be provided at present. It was a top-secret document written by Mr. Cat himself.
S-level, as the current highest talent level, can enjoy "customized level" treatment! This matter has far-reaching impact, so it is still in the planning and discussion stage.
These include "rights to use legendary equipment", especially legendary equipment that can increase the upper limit of "divine attributes", which requires long-term wearing to be effective.
The number of these items is very limited, and there are only a few in the entire human race.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In addition, it also includes "authority to designate divine skills", which means being able to select a "divine skill" owned by the national treasury.
As long as it is not too outrageous, the parliament will basically approve it.
Lu Tiantian put on his reading glasses. There were quite a lot of "divine skills" in the national treasury, ranging from combat to production.
"Artisan Talent 6, Glyph Reading 12, Animal Affinity 3, Plant Affinity 7, Marine Life Affinity... Humans don't seem to have these abilities."
There are more than four hundred divine skills in total!
However, it still takes a lot of effort to make a perfect arrangement.
"It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. Only by using systems to constrain the people can we win their support."
He looked at the next item - "The authority to freely control 200 spiritual energy".
Two hundred Lingyun is really a huge number! You have to know that if humans don’t get rich overnight, their annual income is only two hundred.
If you want to develop a research career, this is indeed an attractive option.
Of course, you can only choose one of the above options. You can’t have them all. Otherwise, the human body is too small to afford such a huge expense.
Moreover, this document is still in the discussion stage and has not been actually implemented. As the confidant of the direct lineage, Lu Tiantian is the first to know about it.
"Mr. Old Cat, who has always been stingy, has spent a lot of money this time." Lu Tiantian muttered to himself.
In fact, at this stage, he had no desires or ambitions. Legendary equipment and divine skills were not attractive at all. After all, his body was beginning to decline. What else could he do? Only the "200 Spiritual Charms Free Control Authority" was not bad.
But as he turned the page and saw the next two items, Lu Tiantian almost jumped up. What the hell is this? "Permission to use the Fruit of Life."
"What is that..." Lu Tiantian was a little confused.
"The Fruit of Life can reshape the body and restore youth. It can heal almost all physical injuries, and is also effective for simple, not-so-complex spiritual injuries."
His brain was so smart that he quickly thought of the Tree of Life. So this was the real fruit of the Tree of Life! How much was it worth? Next: "Residential rights in Green Paradise."
"Using consciousness upload, I will live in the Green Space. My life cycle will be exactly the same as that of the poppy tree."
"We can use machine puppets to remotely interfere with the outside world."
As for the green space, it is also the true ability of the Poppy Tree.
What is the difference between dreams and reality?
The wrinkles on Lu Tiantian's face trembled deeply for a few times. After pondering for a long time, he decided to call Lao Mao.
"Mr. Old Cat, I've read your plan. I suggest you delete the last two plans and don't bring them up again... I'll pretend that this thing doesn't exist."
"Well, what do you think?" asked the old cat.
"The Fruit of Life can rejuvenate people, which is good. But it will destroy the operating rules of our current society." Lu Tiantian sighed.
"Let me give you a simple example. If I let others know that I have obtained the Fruit of Life and have regained my youth, what would they think?"
"They don't see it as an honor, but as a 'utilitarian' thing."
“They might think: Oh, so these professors worked so hard because they knew about the existence of the Fruit of Life. The so-called morality and honor will be reconstructed.”
Life and death are the fairest things in nature.
No matter how talented or rich you are, you will eventually turn into dust.
Therefore, the price of life is the most noble price.
But if life could be lived again, everything would be different.
"Over time, our social mechanism has been destroyed. People's hearts have become more impetuous, and everyone has become utilitarian animals. The so-called work is just to survive the next life, and glory is not worth mentioning. This is something we cannot bear."
"As for the Green Paradise... it's equivalent to a semi-immortality mechanism. Even the Green Civilization has fallen because of it. How can we humans resist it?"
"So I strongly suggest that you delete these two posts and never bring them up again."
"There's nothing wrong with the options above. We just need to add some more standardized clauses."
The old cat was silent for a moment, then asked, "So when do you think we can accept this?"
This is not only Lao Mao's opinion, but also Lu Yuan's opinion.
"Let's wait until we humans become stronger..." Lu Tiantian sighed, "When we become a third-level civilization or even a fourth-level civilization, and the average life expectancy increases significantly to one or two thousand years, we will not be so sensitive to the life span issue, then we can come up with these. Just like the Green People, they have a long lifespan and are not so sensitive to death."
"But now, it has to be kept strictly confidential."
"Believe me, Mr. Cat, this is not something we can accept right now."
The old cat said nothing, as if thinking about something.
Lu Tiantian was silent for a moment: "Even I... am very tempted. Who doesn't want to stay young forever? Who wants to drag a sick and disabled body and get tired even if they just sit for a few hours? Who wants to have presbyopia and be out of breath after running a few steps?"
"But I know that having these things will do more harm than good... Don't worry about us. With the medicine brought by life science, we can still live for a long time and won't die of old age in a short time."
"We still have the sinkhole and we can hibernate, so there's really nothing to worry about."
