Chapter 96: Mammoth

The entire interior of the building is hollow and rises in a spiral staircase. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There are many air corridor links in the middle of the info, and when viewed from the bottom up, they look like spider webs, and there are aerial hovering cars passing by. And underneath are rows and rows of matchbox-like houses.

Every other section, a huge advertising screen will be set up with a unified program. On the far left, there is also a list of programs written behind, there are TV series, advertisements, and news, and as soon as you look at the name of the TV series, you can know what "Poor Boy Struggles and Counterattacks".

The people at the bottom wore work clothes of various colors, gray, blue, and black, and the material and style were similar to those they were wearing, but the colors were different. Everyone has a sense of relaxation on their faces after work, but He Ningyan has already noticed that these "people" are different from them...

On the ground floor on both sides of the rows of matchbox-like houses, there are all kinds of shops. There are clothes for sale, the quality of the clothes is not complimentary, and the style is very simple, but the price of hanging is very cheap, 9 yuan, 19 yuan, 29 yuan, and at most 99 yuan. There are not many people who buy it, and there are few customers.

More patronized are rechargeable, just like Internet cafes, a row of seats, except that instead of a computer in front, there is a power plug and a link cable. The "man" sitting in the seat pulled off the work clothes a little, made a small opening, and inserted one end of the connecting cable into the stomach, while the counter in front calculated the amount of electricity used and the corresponding unit price.

He Ningyan and Alpha looked at each other, and everyone knew each other that this world was not human.

"Special news!" Suddenly, the advertising screen next to it switched pages, and a woman with a brightly dressed and bewitching face appeared: "Now insert special news, and now I will talk about the docking live interview conducted by Mr. Hel Agassi, the director of the Institute of Human Studies, and our TV station, and he will first report on the major discoveries in human research." ”

All the people at the bottom stopped to watch and looked up at the screen in unison.

The camera switched, a man in a suit and leather shoes, with gold-rimmed glasses, in his forties, who looked like a management man sitting on the sofa, was still relatively relaxed. Speaking into the large sponge microphone in front of him: "For human research, we have not been able to break through for a long time, but yesterday, we made a major discovery! Recently, a fire was found on the nearby McCherry Hill at night, and in the unremitting search, two living humans were finally discovered. ”

In the midst of the exclamations, it was Dafen and Jack who were locked in a clear glass room and strapped to the operating table. They had changed into white hospital gowns, and various medical staff in white coats were taking blood for their tests.

"Humanity has finally rediscovered after two hundred years of extinction, and this is an opportunity for us ... Speaking of this, the director finally couldn't hold back his excitement: "It may be of great significance for the further development of our world... ”

"There are still humans. Everyone directly discussed: "There are humans who have anything to do with us, and we don't work the same anyway." ”

"Then Mr. Hull Agassi. The hostess had a charming and flattering smile on her face, just like Marilyn Monroe did when she met President Lincoln: "So when the research is finished, can these two humans visit?"

"Shhh

"Our civilization has stagnated since the extinction of humanity, and years of research have proven that the reason is that we think differently than humans, so to speak, we have no creativity and imagination. Although we tried everything to get as close to humanity as possible, nothing improved. This time, two human beings have been discovered, a man and a woman, and we will carry out in-depth, meticulous and comprehensive research and investigation. "The director said so much, but he still didn't answer the question.

Someone shouted impatiently: "Can you visit, what are you talking about?"

After two more minutes of rambling, the director finally said, "The two human beings are priceless treasures to us, so we can't provide a tour for the time being." When their offspring are bred, we may consider sending some of them to the zoo. It will take about thirty to fifty years, but at least we can see living human beings, and for us ... ”

"Thirty years, what to study, so long, it's ridiculous. Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.

"It is said that human beings only live for seventy or eighty years, and some people only have fifty years, and they can get sick all over their bodies, just like animals. Of course, it takes time to cultivate a batch, and the mammoth last time, after waiting for ten years, ended up dying after ten minutes of life, and I waited in line for four hours to see the specimen. ”

Well, Dai Fen and Jack have become national treasures giant pandas, even more precious than giant pandas, and have been promoted to the level of mammoths and dodos. I really don't know if they will regret their recklessness when they are tied to the operating table, their bodies turned over, their blood drawn, and subjected to various laboratory tests.

They must have regretted it, because their expressions at this time were a picture of pain, a doctor was using a small glass tube to thrust into the necks of the two of them, and when they pulled it out, the hollow glass needle tube was stuffed with the living body needed for examination... Biopsy, where lymphocytes are examined in the neck. Well, there are tubes inserted into the shoulders again, these are all without anesthetic, and the pain makes the two of them cry out and struggle desperately. But how can this break free, and then the camera pulls away again...

There must be more shadows in the back, and if you can't refer to the lungs, liver, bladder, or something, you can take a few tubes and do a biopsy. The whole person is like a monkey, a dog, and a mouse in the laboratory, at the mercy of others, and no one cares if it hurts. Maybe in order to observe the pain tolerance ability of human beings and their response to external stimuli, give them all kinds of pain, and slowly increase the effect, to see what kind of bioelectric current they will have in the cerebral cortex.

The interview continues...

"So will you slice these two humans, like the last human, into specimens?" The hostess's words were sharp and embarrassing, and for the sake of effect, she released a slice specimen.

It was a long humanoid specimen, and why the long strip, the human being was cut into layers of thin slices one centimeter thick, and these slices were immediately molded into a square of transparent solid, which was either plastic or imitation glass. Then they were placed in turn and rearranged into human shapes, because they were stretched, more than twice as long as the original.

The last human, sliced ... The corner of He Ningyan's mouth almost didn't cramp.

"Oh, no, no... The director laughed violently: "At that time, we did not have the consciousness to protect human beings, thinking that the machine race was superior to the human race, and the extermination of human beings was a historical and natural choice. And now we know that without humans, our technology will always stagnate, and no matter how hard we try, we will still follow the rules. So we want to cultivate a group of human beings, and then combine human beings with our chips, human beings have their own consciousness, but also are controlled by our thoughts, to achieve the realm of human-machine integration... ”

"What do you mean?" muttered softly to a man next to him.

At this time, no one dared to speak out, for fear of missing this historic critical moment. Another person replied: "It's just to raise a group of people, put our chips on them, and we can have human brains." ”

"Come on, if you want to do this, you can enjoy it first. Wait for us, wait a few hundred years. ”

"Thousands of years may not be, what they want is a batch of brainless working machines. ”

It's true that privilege is everywhere, and there are class hierarchies everywhere.

The host seemed to be the kind that was particularly popular, and asked with a smile: "So may I ask, if the experiment is successful, and when will it be popularized, who will have the human brain first?"

The director was tepid and calmly replied: "Generally scientific research workers, after all, our science and technology have not developed again for 200 years. But when it comes to who owns the human brain first, of course, it's our masses. From the trial to the clinic to the market, volunteers will be required to cooperate with the research, and they will be the first to have a human brain. We will openly recruit volunteers from the public when appropriate. ”

To put it well, it is actually to find two poor low-level people, and even coax and deceive to remove the chip from the body, put it into the human body, and then see what the situation is. At the beginning, there may be all kinds of problems, such as human rejection, incompatibility between man and machine, and finally machine destruction and death.

"If you recruit, I won't go. I want to deceive people again!" someone said dissatisfied.

"I'll go. Another shouted, "Even if you don't have a human body, give me a chip upgrade." I don't want to spend my life working as a transporter in a machine shop!"

"I'll go too, and instead of being a brick mover in the maintenance department, it's better to fight once. ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, at least this is an opportunity to change the "robot student" and machine life, just do such a day, He Ningyan feels bored, not to mention that he has to do it every day, forever, for a lifetime, endlessly. Work until the machine is scrapped, then go to the hospital or charity to put it on and do the same job. It feels terrible when you think about it, it's better to try it once, not to mention that the chip is still a place, even if it is installed in a spaceship and launched into a robot on Mars, there must be someone willing to do it.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Hull Agassi for your support of our TV interview. The camera switched to the hostess, and she smiled so brightly: "Whether our history has changed because of this, whether the existence of human beings is beneficial to us, and what kind of progress and extent of research will be made, our station will further follow up the interview." I'm Ruth, thank you!"

Then the original program continued to play, it was an advertisement, a handsome man, shirtless, holding up a small black bottle, pretending to be deep and cool: "With Tiger lubricants, the parts are not worn, and the body has a longer service life." ”

Come on, the people who want to use this oil are rich people. Or, there is some money, and it is not the richest master. The richest thing is not that someone chatted and talked about it at work, and the body changed one after another. And people who don't have money, they can't even afford a scrapped body, and what money is there to buy this oil. Or the price of this oil is not too high, just like all kinds of health products that cannot be eaten well and cannot be eaten, it is a little expensive, but the working class can still afford it.

And the people at the bottom have long been accustomed to this kind of advertising, and are discussing going for two drinks.

I saw them go to the shop with wine glasses, ask for a glowing liquid, take it and walk to the open-air tables and chairs outside, sit down and drink. And the price sign outside reads "Tiger brand lubricating oil, 30 yuan 15ml." Li brand lubricating oil, 25 yuan 20ml. Photoelectric liquid, 20 yuan a cup... ”

This should be a photoelectric liquid, I don't know the composition, but it should be able to be accepted by the machine's body. There is also the cheapest 10 yuan a glass of cleaning liquid.

Their tongues shouldn't be able to taste these things, and drinking these things is expensive for money, and cheap for passing the time. It's really all trying to imitate human beings, but the wine shop in front of me feels funny no matter how you look at it.

He Ningyan and Alpha still found a place to live first, at this time they were hungry for two meals, and their stomachs were already rumbling, if it weren't for the fact that their bodies were about to be scrapped, others thought it was a mechanical failure, and they would really be caught in the research institute to be rare and special treasured animals.

Finding a house is easy, there is a staircase in the middle of the row of houses, which can be used to go upstairs. Each floor is like a school, with a corridor in front and a row of rooms next to it.

He Ningyan and Alpha looked all the way, and there was a machine at the door of each room, with an amount written on the face. On the machines in the rooms on the second floor, "100" is written on them.

How much should 100 be expensive, that's too expensive, not to say that a room is 30 yuan.

It seems that no one is going to the second floor, and many people continue to walk up the stairs. So they retreated to the stairs and went up. The machine at the entrance on the 3rd floor says "80", and on the 4th floor, it says "60".

On the 5th floor, it is "45", and on the 6th floor, it is written "30".

A man just shoved a 30 yuan bill into the machine, and the machine made a gurgling sound and spit out a card. He swiped the card with a machine next to the door, and the door opened. It turns out that this machine is an automatic cash collection machine!

He looked sideways at He Ningyan and Elfa: "This room is small, it's better for two people to live downstairs, and the bed is bigger, sometimes it can't be too economical." With that, he walked in and closed the door.

In this way, it's no wonder that so many singles go up to the 6th floor, and two in pairs go to the 5th floor. There are also people on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, but they are basically in groups, and they go to group rentals. There were about five people on the second floor, and they went in together, so it was only 20 yuan per person, which saved 10 yuan.

Alpha looked at her, though he didn't speak, the meaning was obvious. The fifth floor is 45 yuan, and if two people have a room, it will cost 60 yuan, and the two of them together are only 128 yuan hexagonal.

"Okay, go to the 5th floor!" she was helpless in her heart, but she could accept it, at that time in the hotel with the crescent moon pattern, Andre was taking everyone to live in a room. (To be continued.) )
