Chapter 70: Popular Science Abilities
……
At half past seven in the evening, Jiang Cheng arrived at Jinlan Machinery Co., Ltd. in the East New District of the city on time.
According to Lin Xiaoman's advice, Jiang Cheng directly said that he was looking for Lu Qiubo, and the security guard helped him open the door, and then he came to the R&D center on the second floor of the basement familiarly, said hello to the girl at the front desk, and then according to the guidance of the girl at the front desk, he came to a small conference room, the door was open, and he walked in by himself.
The conference room is just a table, a projection screen, and one person.
Xu Xuyang was tinkering with the projector, and when he saw Jiang Cheng walking in, he seemed to recall the scene of their first meeting, and scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Hey, hello Jiang Cheng, I was embarrassed before......"
Jiang Cheng didn't seem to be in good spirits, so he waved his hand and sat down.
After Xu Xuyang turned on the projector, he sat next to him, saw that his face was not good, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Cheng looked up a little dazed: "What's wrong with me?"
"Just ......" Looking at him with an idiot look, Xu Xuyang showed an embarrassed but kind smile and said, "Your face is not very good, why did you go just now?"
Jiang Cheng looked at him with a dull look in his eyes and said, "I just spent five hours with a cup......"
At this time, Tian Yi walked in, holding a thermos cup in his hand, and after seeing them, he said hello carelessly: "It's all here, then let's start." ”
Xu Xuyang whispered on the side: "I am also a newcomer, today is equivalent to asking Uncle Tian to help us with the class, the main thing is to systematically popularize the science of our main work object, the concept and ability of the supernatural." ”
Jiang Chengran nodded.
Tian Yi took a remote control and pressed it, and the page of PPT was displayed on the projection screen, and there were three words on the first page - superpowers.
"As the name suggests, superpowers are...... Super abilities. Tian Yi thought for a while and said: "The first time I give a class, I may talk more generally, you can listen casually, I will say casually, everyone relax, ask me if you have any questions." ”
The PPT turned to the second page, which is a background image of an X-Men with a few paragraphs of text on it.
Tian Yi sat down, took a sip of tea, and when he saw this exaggerated picture, he glanced at Xu Xuyang coldly.
Xu Xuyang hurriedly lowered his head and whispered to Jiang Cheng: "I made the PPT...... Uncle Tian must have thought I was exaggerated again. ”
Jiang Cheng was refreshed at this time, and whispered: "I think it's very good, how easy to understand this picture is." ”
Tian Yi looked at the text introduction on it and read it according to the script: "Superpowers, derived from genetic mutations, the existing data show that the probability of relying on genetic mutations to produce abilities in human beings is about 0.001%, that is to say, a city with a population of 30 million, theoretically there will be 300 people with extraordinary abilities......"
Jiang Cheng raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, I have a question." ”
Tian Yi was interrupted, obviously unhappy, looked at him coldly, and said, "Let's go." ”
Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Where did this data come from?"
Tian Yi said angrily: "Where do I know." ”
Jiang Cheng was stunned, feeling a little sad in this class.
"Well, that's right. Xu Xuyang interjected a little nervously at this time: "We have close communication and exchanges with the experts of EFBL in the United States, and this number is basically the result of their rough estimation after collecting the data of the world's supernatural beings. ”
Jiang Cheng suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then how do we define the supernatural person? Is it necessary to have abilities that humans do not have, or can they be measured by some means?"
"Actually, you're pretty much the same. Xu Xuyang pushed his glasses and replied: "According to the situation we have now, the definition of the supernatural person in the world is not much different, but there is no very precise definition standard, let's first draw a simple boundary, if you have the ability that humans do not have, such as flying, fire-breathing, controlling things, etc., then it must be regarded as an anomaly." Secondly, the extraordinary performance of a certain conventional ability, such as weightlifting, the most powerful professional athletes can lift more than 300 kilograms, even if it is a record, but it is not considered an ability, but if there is an untrained child who can lift one or two hundred kilograms, it can be regarded as an ability, which is a qualitative difference, because it shows that their bone strength and muscle density are completely different. ”
Xu Xuyang said with a serious face: "Of course, one of the most important criteria is to check whether their genes have mutated. ”
Jiang Cheng looked at him stunned: "Aren't you just like me, and you're also a newcomer?"
Tian Yi coughed twice: "High-level student, let's do it, anyway, the information is collected by you, and the PPT is also made by you, you can talk about it, and I will help you supplement." ”
Xu Xuyang was always a little scared when he saw Tian Yi, and he hesitated: "This ...... Is that okay?"
"If you say it, you say it. Tian Yi slid the remote control on the table, and then said to Jiang Cheng: "If you ask him a question, his theoretical knowledge is better than mine." ”
Then Xu Xuyang smiled and explained to Jiang Cheng first, he is a doctoral student in electronic information engineering, after being recruited by Lin Xiaoman, in the process of partnering with Tian Yi, he is mainly responsible for technology, in the spirit of learning, he sorted out and read all the information in the company's system after he joined the company, and he can read a large amount of low-authority information.
Xu Xuyang took Tian Yi's stall like this, and began to say: "I just said that the probability of the appearance of the supernatural is about 1 in 100,000, and according to this probability, there will be about 300 supernatural people in Jianghai City. Jiang Cheng, what do you think of this number?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said: "It's not accurate, just like the housing price, why is Jianghai City nearly ten times more expensive than the surrounding cities? Because the first-tier cities have a siphon effect, sucking the surrounding people and capital over, and if there are only 300 people in the entire Jianghai City, then there is no need for such an organization to deal with this matter at all." ”
"That's right. Xu Xuyang cut a PPT, showing two different charts: "This is the growth rate of the ability events in Jianghai City and Mi Guo Niuyi in recent years, it can be seen that the growth of the population of big cities is not completely proportional to the appearance of the ability event, the appearance of the ability event is more frequent, perhaps because the ability person has special abilities, more self-confidence, and more ambition, so the number of ability people pouring into the big city is very large." ”
The picture switches again, and it is a map of the world, with a few words written on it: the state of research on the Anomalous in the countries of the world.
Xu Xuyang said: "Because of the siphon effect you just mentioned, as well as probability, most countries with small populations do not specialize in this topic, and a few scientific research institutions want to study it, but there are not enough conditions. And for this subject, the United States is undoubtedly second to none, we all know the FBI, but no one knows the EFBI, their agency has been established for 40 years, specifically responsible for the capture and education of the supernatural, has its own special training institutions, after the results, and then send these supernatural people to all aspects of the government and the military, the most important thing is to go to the secret agency, so that it is convenient for them to monitor and keep the paranormal strictly confidential, so far, and they have a cooperative relationship, can know part of the information of the country, only us。 ”
Jiang Cheng scratched his chin: "It sounds like it's very powerful, it feels like an American blockbuster...... What about Indu and Niben? The population of Indu is quite large, so there should be quite a lot of supernatural people, right? And the population density of Japanese benzene is so high, the probability of exposure of supernatural people is very high. ”
"The Adepts of Indu...... Most were killed as children. Xu Xuyang's face was very heavy: "There are two possibilities for the supernatural people in Yindu, most of the supernatural people have awakened their abilities since they were young, and then they were killed by superstitious adults in various ways, and very few were worshiped and worshiped as various gods. ”
"It's so brutal. Jiang Cheng was shocked and said, "What about the benzene? They should be able to arrest and study it, right?"
"It takes a strong big government to do these things, whether it's research, training, secrecy, it all needs money. Xu Xuyang shook his head and said: "Due to the sluggishness of the Japanese government after the war, no one cares about this matter at all, which leads to the fact that most of the Japanese benzene people are hidden in the people, scattered in all walks of life, and no one monitors, and some of the destructive ones are taken away by the institutions of the United States." ”
Jiang Cheng was surprised: "How come there is a rice country anywhere." ”
"yes, it's not just p-Japan. Xu Xuyang said: "The number of supernatural people in the United States is huge, we can no longer imagine, EFBI is almost all over the world to search for anomalous people, which has directly promoted the rapid development of their genetic science, we guess that their gene editing technology and embryo selection technology have far exceeded the world average level, which is likely to cause very terrible consequences." ”
