17. The chat volume of ten dollars

This area where the vehicle parking area and shanty town are located is called a transitional passage.

A nuclear fusion reactor five thousand meters underground provides energy, and waste heat is discharged from the surface through the pipeline, keeping the transition channel at a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius - this is of course also a unit perceived by the earth-centerist Zheng Yi. Locals say that this is the national standard heat of the 25th.

This temperature is very friendly to people, but no one is sure when the outer gate will open. Once a vehicle confirms the pass code, the gate will open automatically. Then cold air at minus 20 or even 30 degrees in the desert will be exchanged. It will be very unpleasant to sleep until the cold wind is woken up in the middle of the night.

These simple sheds do not need heat preservation, and at least they can shelter from the wind.

The young man and his sister curled up their legs and gave up a small area on the soles of their feet to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi applied thirty seconds of [treatment] to the girl after the operation, which was considered accommodation fee.

When the baffle was put down, Zheng Yi couldn't help but say, "Can't you make the home bigger?"

"The shelter charges a fee based on the space occupied." The young man's voice was a little ethereal, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Zheng Yi also felt tired and murmured: "It should be bigger, more comfortable and safer..."

The young man said: "It's safe here. There is a high-energy laser every two meters above the top of the space to deal with various public security or criminal incidents..."

Zheng Yi did not respond, nor even considered what this meant. He had been too long this day and fell asleep quickly. When he regained consciousness again, he felt someone was watching him.

The 18-year-old girl leaned against the wall supported by cardboard and looked at Zheng Yi quietly.

Zheng Yi could sense that she had no emotions, no thoughts, and was simply quiet. If she hadn't had the confidence of Sequence 2, he really felt that he had entered the world of horror movies.

So Zheng Yi broke the tranquility and prepared to chat for ten dollars: "Wake up?"

"Yes." said the girl.

"The world below you... becomes more and more creepy as you talk..." Zheng Yi turned over and sat up: "Doesn't the people in the shelter be in a state of emotion?"

"Because there is no need," said the girl.

Zheng Yi was speechless: "I can't talk about this day."

"Why can't we talk?" The girl wanted to chat: "Your grammar is very strange."

"I just want to pull it casually, and you can reach the philosophical level in one go." Zheng Yi looked at the girl and saw that there was a glimmer of light reflected in her eyes, with double eyelids. She was not beautiful or ugly.

The girl said: "Only a very small number of people can learn philosophy."

"Then what do you learn?"

"Our family belongs to the mechanical engineering group." The girl said: "I learned mechanical design."

Zheng Yi nodded: "Engineering is good. What are your plans for the future?"

The girl said: "We will stay in the transition channel. Apply for transition channel management positions, with public housing and work meals."

"Well, that's not bad, it's just a job like Lao Hong." Zheng Yi felt that this kind of job was a bit of a job.

The girl nodded, and suddenly showed a small emotional fluctuation. Her speech slowed down and she said:

"Thank you, I didn't let my brother become a genetically modified person."

"Uh, I feel a bit discriminatory, but it doesn't matter." Zheng Yi waved his hand and asked, "Why are you so hostile to genetic modification? Do you really believe that genetic modification people will destroy the world? Destroy the world again?"

"This is inevitable." The girl said firmly:

"The human intervention of genes aims to fully sublimate the human life form. As the sequence improves, human nature will be subject to regularity, and advanced rules do not take the survival and reproduction of human groups as the first priority. This is history, the status quo, and the future."

Zheng Yi felt that this passage was far more than the amount of information that cost ten yuan.

He briefly translated it in his mind: Originally, scientists in this world wanted everyone to take medicine and become immortals without ageing. Unexpectedly, they succeeded. As a result, they found that after becoming an immortal, people are no longer humans, and they don’t care about human life and death. Maybe they are like extreme small animated care, and they directly attack their human compatriots for their own rationality (attachment).

Zheng Yi said: "The low sequence should be fine." He remembered that Akun was normal. He would vomit when he saw the corpse, and would be hard when he saw the girl. He would brag all day long by saying dirty jokes.

"Genetic modification people have genetic defects and the risk of losing control is high." The girl said: "If they have offspring, they will pollute the entire human genetic pool. Their offspring also have a very high risk of losing control. The shelter is fragile and cannot bear this risk."

"After genetic modification, the mitochondrial energy release mechanism mutates," the girl said: "At that time, they could not communicate, could not control, became strange beasts, and were no longer humans. If in an important position, an executor would lose control without warning because of the parent genes several generations ago..."

The young man who had been lying down turned over and said hazyly: "Sister, we have to sell information for living expenses."

The sister said, "These are common sense on the ground." She looked at Zheng Yi: "And, this gentleman should know the risks he faces. The shelter will monitor all genetically modified people with sequence 6 or above."

Zheng Yi was alert in his heart: "What if I don't want to be monitored?"

"Don't let people know." The girl touched the position where she had the surgery: "The last thing you gave me should be the ability of medical sequence 6."

Zheng Yi did not deny it.

Zheng Yi's insightful instinct made him believe that there is nothing good about being targeted by a shelter, and it poses a great threat. This system that controls the highest and final civilizations of human beings has natural hostility to genetically modified people. Judging from the extent to which young people are brainwashed, this hostility is completely irreversible.

If sequence 6 is to be monitored, what should we do if sequence 2 is?

In Zheng Yi's opinion, Sequence 6 is still a gentle and harmless low-level sequence!

"There is another way." The young man turned over and sat up.
