Chapter 2: Beyond Earth
The year 2137 is an era of high technological development.
There are two most important changes compared to the 21st century.
The first aspect is the genetic technology that was discovered and studied by mankind in the early 19th century, and since the middle of the 21st century, there have been several major breakthroughs.
Every breakthrough has brought great benefits to humanity.
Genetic diseases have been largely eliminated.
Terminal illness has been greatly reduced!
The number of terminal diseases that threaten human life has dropped sharply from more than 400 in the 21st century to 26 in the 22nd century.
Well, on the premise that you have money.
For example, the basic physical qualities of human beings themselves.
The basic human qualities that have been improved through reproductive genetics alone, such as speed, strength, and longevity, have exceeded 10 percent in the ordinary human population alone.
The increase after taking various genetic drugs is even more amazing.
The second aspect is that the space exploration that countries are keen on has also achieved results.
From 2025 to around 2030, the countries of the Milian region, the European Union, the Russian Union, and the Huaya region have successively announced that they have found extraterrestrial intelligent life and have made contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life, and have tried to communicate to a certain extent.
As a result of the exchange, individual technical problems that plagued humanity were made exploding breakthroughs, but the invasion of extraterrestrial intelligent life also came.
It's an invasion.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of vigilant and wise people among mankind.
The invasion of extraterrestrial intelligent life is kept out of the Earth, but it is not over. The Blue Star Alliance was thus established, and the great era of human genes will officially start in 2038.
It is under this premise that the Unified Genetic Examination was born.
Human beings who have been improved by genetic drugs will be greatly improved in all aspects, and even qualitative changes.
Genetic warriors in extraterrestrial battlefields shine, and in many cases, a powerful genetic warrior can decide the outcome of a battle and change the direction of a battle.
Humans who have been promoted by genetic drugs are better at research, and the speed of special production is faster.
Even the pilot, whether it is a fighter or a spaceship, will have a higher level of piloting and faster, and will withstand greater driving intensity.
The era of genes is here.
After nearly 100 years of research and continuous adjustment, human beings have a deeper understanding of their own exploration and the integration of genetic drugs.
Only then did Xu Hui now face the genetic examination.
As the old class said, the college entrance examination score is just an admission ticket, and it is more of an incentive and potential squeeze for students.
Hard work and hard work will make your genes better.
After the college entrance examination, students who pass the gene admission line will receive a D-level or C-grade gene compound chain allele according to their grades, which is the scientific name.
The generic name is also known as gene liberation agent.
According to the explanation of the knowledge obtained by Xu Hui from the official so far, the human genome has a natural stable chain and has a large degree of stability, and strengthening, mutation and evolution require a large amount of time to slowly evolve.
However, the gene compound chain allele can relieve this stability under the premise of safety, and then make the existing genes strengthen, mutate and even evolve in a short period of time through various ways.
Humans who take this genetically complex chain allele are known as gene liberators.
It is worth mentioning that the grade of gene compound chain allele drugs, that is, gene liberation drugs, ranges from E to A, and the difference in efficacy is also huge.
Grade E is the worst and Grade A is the best.
However, Class A and Class B gene liberation agents are very rare, and it is said that only the military and the Institute of Genetic Research have channels within the channel, and the management is very strict.
The most circulated on the market is the E-grade gene liberation drug, and the D-grade and C-grade gene liberation drugs are also in circulation.
But the price is very beautiful.
There are two gaps between E-, D-, and C-level gene liberation agents, one is the genome collapse rate.
The second is the gene emancipation base point.
Taking E-class gene liberation agents, the human genome has a 5 in 1,000 chance of collapsing.
The consequence of genome collapse is death on the spot, and any means of rescue are useless!
The genome collapse rate of a D-grade gene liberation agent is 2 per thousand, while that of a C-grade is 1 in 1,000!
Among the E to A grade agents, the C grade gene liberation agent had the lowest mortality rate.
It's a bit like gambling on your life, the odds aren't too great, and as long as your luck isn't too bad, you can become a genetic liberator.
But the second gap is not something that luck can make up.
It's a gap that is almost a lifetime away.
......
In the sunset, Xu turned his head back to look at Jincheng No. 9 Middle School, which most students call purgatory, and squeezed into the maglev bus home.
Thanks to the advancement of technology, maglev technology, which was expensive and limited a hundred years ago, has developed rapidly, and now it has become a powerful tool to reduce congestion in cities.
More than half an hour later, as soon as Xu Hui got out of the elevator, he heard a voice at the door of his house.
The voices of Aunt Ma and Daddy Xu Jianguo downstairs.
"Hey, Lao Xu, how much score does your child score in the college entrance examination, my child can't pass the exam, and it's better than the genetic admission line. ”
Daddy Xu Jianguo's personality is still very modest, and as soon as Xu Hui arrived at the door, he heard this voice.
"Don't mention it, my kid didn't do well in the exam. ”
"How many points did you get?" asked Aunt Ma.
"Anyway, it just doesn't work. Daddy shook his head and was about to close the door.
Aunt Ma was anxious, grabbed the door and asked, "If you don't pass the test, you have to have a score, how many points?"
"Progress is back. ”
Father Xu Hui saw Xu Hui and greeted him.
Well, progress is Xu Hui's nickname.
"Hey, progress is back?"
Aunt Ma hurriedly stretched out her hand to Xu Hui, "Your father said that you couldn't do the test, how many points did you score?"
It can't be that you haven't passed the genetic admission line, right?
My kid is hanging, and he is better than the genetic admission line?"
Xu retreated and avoided it, didn't open up for the time being, and looked at his father.
According to my father, neighborhoods are also very important.
A hand suddenly stretched out from the crack in the door, and directly twisted Xu Hui's ear and pulled it into the room, scolding while pulling.
"You stinky boy, you only scored 604 points in the exam, and you almost can't pass the double excellent line, how do you teach your mother and me......."
"Mom, it hurts, tap ......."
As Xu Hui was dragged back to the room by the old lady, Aunt Ma downstairs's face froze instantly, and she was stunned on the spot.
"Uh, goodbye, Sister Ma, I'll cook first. ”
Daddy smiled awkwardly and closed the door.
Outside the door, Aunt Ma was stunned and took a light quenching, "Hmph, isn't it just over the double excellent line, what is the show?"
Inside the door, the old lady stared at her father with her hands on her hips, "I want to save a little face for people in everything, my family's progress is from the eight tests, and it is not cheating, what dare you not say." ”
"Isn't this afraid that she won't look good on her face......"
"If she doesn't look good, then you ....... on your face"
"Mom, I'll take a shower first!"
Seeing that the daily nagging war was about to start again, in order to avoid harming the pond fish, Xu retreated and hurriedly took a bath.
"There's a dish in the pot, I'll go see the dish!"
The tried and tested dad also chose to cook for the first time.
Dinner consisted of a plate of braised pork, a plate of fried fried wheat vegetables with oily green, and a large bowl of hot oil splashed over the oily noodles that exuded a rich fragrance.
Three boiled eggs were placed in Xu Hui's bowl, dipped in a little red oil chili pepper, and Xu Hui's saliva flowed.
It was used to supplement the physical consumption of Xu Hui.
"Let's eat. ”
After a burst of snoring, Xu Hui wiped the corners of his oily mouth and touched his stomach with satisfaction.
"Dad, this is the accident liability consent form to be used tomorrow when taking the gene liberation potion, and there is also an accident insurance policy, you have to sign it, press your fingerprint, and hand it in tomorrow. Xu Hui took out a piece of paper.
Dad didn't look at the content, but after looking at his mother Zhang Xiuli, who was also dignified, he looked at Xu Hui again.
"Progress, you have crossed the double excellent line, but tomorrow's gene liberation pill will still have a mortality rate of one in a thousand, and in fact, the mortality rate is a little greater than this.
Are you afraid?"
Xu Hui nodded first, then shook his head.
"Last year, 230,000 students in Jincheng Prefecture took the gene liberation drug, and more than 400 people collapsed on the spot while taking the genome.
Everyone feels that bad luck will not fall on their heads, but when bad luck comes, it is too late.
Progress, if you are afraid, or do not want to, or are afraid, then just say it.
I can refuse to sign this accident liability consent.
Although the future development will be limited, our family of three will not have any problems with food and clothing. ”
While speaking, Daddy Xu Jianguo pushed the accident liability consent letter handed over by Xu Hui back in front of Xu Hui, and as for the insurance policy, he ignored it.
"Progress, your future, you decide!"
Although the status of my father's family has gone up and down, when it comes to business, my mother Zhang Xiuli is very quiet and never interjects much.
Xu Hui looked at the accident liability consent form in front of him, and suddenly looked out the window.
"Dad, it was said on TV that it has been almost a hundred years since the invasion of extraterrestrial intelligent life, I want to go and see, what do they look like?"
Taking a light breath, Xu Hui, who had made a decision, pushed the accident liability consent back in front of his father Xu Jianguo.
"Dad, if there is a chance, outside the earth, I want to go and see!"
The corners of her mother's mouth twitched, and her eyes were full of worry.
The mortality rate of 1 in 1,000 does not seem high, but when it is the turn of the individual, it is 100% dead, and how can parents not worry.
Father Xu Jianguo glanced at his wife, then at his son Xu Hui, picked up the signature pen, and signed the accident liability consent form with a brush, and also pulled his wife's finger and pressed the fingerprint together!
Dad stood up suddenly, and solemnly handed over the accident responsibility confirmation to Xu Hui's hands with both hands.
"Xu Hui, from today onwards, your future is up to you. But you have to always remember one thing. ”
"In the eyes of Mom and Dad, as long as you are safe, healthy, and alive, it is the best!"
Xu Hui nodded vigorously.
Mother Zhang Xiuli cried before she could say anything.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm on the double excellent line, and I use not only a C-grade gene liberation potion with a lower mortality rate, but also a bottle of gene activation stabilization potion that can reduce the mortality rate by half!
My mortality rate is probably only 0.5 per thousand......"
"Are you so comforting?" Looking at his wife who was crying even more, Daddy Xu Jianguo's eyes widened.
"Just like you straight man, I'm really worried about whether you can find a girlfriend in the future!
Can we hold our grandson?"
Daddy has a lot of experience in this situation.
As soon as the Dafa of changing the topic was used, her mother Zhang Xiuli immediately stopped crying and turned to plan for the future of Xu Xiuli.
"Now encourage fertility, progress, before you graduate, be sure to let us hold grandchildren......"
......
Xu retreated and fled,
"Mom, we trained three times today, and we're very tired, so I'll rest early. ”
"This child ......." her mother Zhang Xiuli was a little unwilling to do so.
"Don't forget the evening class. Daddy Xu Jianguo reminded.
"I'm used to it, Dad!"
Back in his small room, Xu Hui brushed his teeth, and flipped through the friends on the personal communicator for a few minutes, almost all of which were the mood dynamics of his classmates.
As soon as the five minutes were up, Xu Hui turned off the personal communicator.
As a high school student, it is very important to manage your time well.
Then, Xu Fei took off his shoes and went to bed, sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, began to snort and spit, his whole body relaxed, and within a few minutes, he entered an ethereal meditative state.
This is the meditation evening class that his father Xu Jianguo taught Xu Hui when he was a child and asked Xu Hui to insist on it.
The main reason why Xu Hui was able to persist was that this meditation allowed him to relax quickly and fall asleep quickly.
Especially when I was a child, I watched hot-blooded anime and couldn't sleep excitedly,
Or I watched a horror movie and couldn't sleep all night,
When the day dawned and I fell asleep,
But it's school time again.
The pain is ......
This meditation evening class allows Xu Hui to empty his mind and fall into a deep sleep in a very short period of time.
And no matter how tired you are the night before, you can be more energetic the next day!
Half an hour later, the meditative Xu retreated slightly and fell asleep on the bed, his legs still sitting cross-legged.
After another while, the door opened gently, and her mother Zhang Xiuli came to Xu Hui's bed, covered Xu Hui with the quilt, and stared at Xu Hui for a while before leaving gently.
The big guy has passed by, don't forget to collect and recommend it!
