Ever since he learned that he was suffering from a disease of repairing abnormal growth, the mysterious old-timer had been a little distracted. Cui Ji is extremely strange about this.

- Didn't the seniors suddenly realize that they were old, so they were not interested?

The seniors recently put on a very young-sounding voice pack.,I think it's the kind of person who doesn't accept the old.。 This kind of person suddenly realizes that he has been fighting for many years, and he does have this mentality, right?

As a good young man, Cui Yu felt that he should really carry forward the virtue of respecting the elderly, and said, "Are the seniors worried about the condition? My sister is in charge of researching the medical records published on the Internet. This disease is by no means a serious illness. Although it may be difficult to perform martial arts in the middle of the course of the disease, it will not be a major problem in a short period of time. If you can get out of here, with the medical skills of your predecessors, it will be easy to get rid of those growths. ”

But he deliberately found a topic so that the old-timers' thoughts should not focus on the matter of "I am old".

But Xiang Shan sighed again.

It looks like your time is really limited.

Less than a month after I obtained this spine, I experienced abnormal growth of the nervous system. If you want to develop again, you must have symptoms that affect the performance of martial arts within ten days.

Xiang Shan had the heart to cut off his diet to curb the rate of growth of nerve cells.

The biggest advantage of the benchmark man is that he can rely on electrical energy to replace the energy produced by respiration. You only need to replenish a little water and very little organic matter to maintain your metabolism for a long time. However, tissue proliferation must require raw materials.

As long as you don't eat anymore, you can naturally curb the rate of cell growth.

The problem is that he is not sure exactly what mechanism this growth will follow.

In the event that "repair" takes precedence over "maintaining the structure of the brain" in this trait, then the physiology of this set of idiots may be able to break down their brains to grow those damn nerves without nutrient intake.

Yes, under natural conditions, people will not encounter such sand sculptures. After all, human genetic information has been developed over hundreds of millions of years and stabilized in the last million years. Although it is true that it is a "mountain", there is certainly no vicious BUG. Stable operation can still be guaranteed.

Gene therapy to transform Homo sapiens into a baseline human is essentially to introduce new genetic information into this genetic information through viruses and enzymes, and then gradually replace the cells that originally belonged to Homo sapiens - this is equivalent to an extension of the original genetic information of Homo sapiens.

In the words of programmers, extending a mountain of is equivalent to going into the depths of the mountain and pulling a big lump again - as for whether it will cause a landslide, only the sky [Biqu Island fo] knows.

According to Xiang Shan's memory, the original gene therapy was used in yeast. After that, there are nematodes, fruit flies.

Each step brings together a large team of scholars, and the reimbursed laboratory animals alone are enough to feed a large enterprise.

Next up is the Xenopus toad.

It wasn't until the mortality rate was reduced to one-third in the Xenopus toad that it was introduced to mice.

The mortality rate of the first mice was as high as 100 percent.

A few years later, the therapy was confirmed not to cause direct death in mice, and it was further introduced to rhesus macaques.

These steps may sound like violent trial and error, but back then, the research institute established by Xiang Shan was steadily producing Nobel Prize nominations.

And the secrets of life are constantly being cracked.

But even if that's the case......

The beta version of the therapy does have the possibility of various "unpredictable benign bugs".

"Your cells will want to break down your brain to repair your body" may sound bad, but compared to "you're going to be poisoned by your own neurotransmitters", it's quite a benign bug.

That's why the final version of gene therapy severely limits the amount of genetic information that can be transferred.

Of course, these things are not enough for outsiders.

Xiang Shan can only pass this topic away.

Cui Ji saw that this old-timer was really not interested in talking, so he could only sigh slightly. It is indeed difficult for a young man like him to let go of these old-timers with words alone.

The two continued to face each other.

Soon, Cui found a new trace on a wall.

This mark is almost integrated with the cracks in the wall. Those who don't know this mark will think that it is a naturally formed mark.

But for those who know the meaning of the symbol, this "fissure" is particularly conspicuous compared to the fissures of nature.

"It's seven hundred meters away." Cui Ji said.

Xiang Shan carefully observed the rift, although he could vaguely see the slightest trace of human interference. But in his eyes, this symbol is like a Chinese character made up of hundreds of strokes.

Only those who know it can understand the meaning.

"The topography of the Arctic Ocean is varied, and the ocean lies beneath the ice, so it's very difficult to search, so there are some schools that put things that are not easy to move there." Cui Ji said: "Although it is not as good as the gathering of heroes on the African side, it can be regarded as ecologically diverse. Some schools have their own special symbolic systems to communicate with. At the same time, there are many small sects that form alliances, and there are also some circles formed by knights in private. The symbology used by these circles is not the same. Therefore, even the government cannot exhaust these codes. ”

Xiang Shan nodded slightly.

Cui did not specify what kind of circle the symbology was. He didn't ask either.

The two continued on their journey.

Xiang Xiang looked at the ground and said, "Huh? It looks like this should be the territory of those gangs......"

This section of the road has become much cleaner.

Except for the main road, which was built and maintained at the expense of the lord, the other roads were built by the residents themselves.

Theoretically, anyone can erect buildings and build roads on the ground at will.

However, if your building is suspected of obstructing the escape of others, then you run the risk of violating the Dyson principle.

The government is not obligated to provide any public services, nor does it carry out public infrastructure construction. It's all about the residents' voluntariness.

Some signal stations were only set up by the government for the convenience of management. This is not a system, but a personal choice of local officials.

Of course, theoretically "residents voluntarily" is not a very ridiculous thing. There are plenty of free non-weapon drawings available online, and civilian-grade 3D printers are easy to find. If there is a will, theoretically, a person can indeed maintain a standard of living that is not low.

But that's also only "theoretical".

In reality, many people can't save parts for a civilian 3D printer in their lifetime, and they lack professional skills in assembly.

Even if the government implants everyone with a chip of enlightenment education at a young age, not everyone can use that complex knowledge.

So, in a sense, it's the gangsters who take on these public services.

They will set up base stations - because improving the base stations is equivalent to enhancing the government's monitoring capabilities, so the asylum is tacitly approved and even encouraged by this business. And everyone who joins their base station will contribute their remaining computing resources while being monitored by the government. Gangsters use cloud computing technology to use these resources to package the blockchain and obtain digital currency.

This process is not even carried out secretly, but is written in the user access agreement of the base station.

This is the main livelihood of the gang.

In addition to this, they also recycle corpses, sort out garbage, and even dig sewers.

Of course, to enjoy these services, you have to pay the gangsters.

Of course, this "use or not" is not entirely voluntary, and the pricing is not so reasonable. And if you don't want to use it, you'll have to get out of the gang-controlled area.

Of course, limited by the Dyson principle, gangsters don't kill. But constantly hindering a person's work, or even accumulating small injuries on a person's prosthesis, is enough to force a person to death.

This kind of behavior is only stepping on the line of the Dyson principle. If there is no sufficient record to prove that this is a deliberate attempt to drive people to their deaths, then it is up to the mood of the asylum to leave it alone.

The inhabitants of the city also have unbearable this. They will hire warriors, carve out settlements in the wilderness, and set their own rules of the game. And when the number of people in the settlement reaches a certain standard, you can go to the lord to apply for asylum.

It is true that begging for a living in the wilderness will encounter green forests. But for many people, there is no difference between Green Forest and gangsters.

Xiang Shan hacked into several cameras around him, but found that there were indeed several people cleaning up garbage. They are similar to the owners of the previous service station, and the renovation rate is very low. They are generally violently coerced by gangsters to do things. As long as the normal is given a small reward, this kind of behavior is still just stepping on the line of the Dyson principle. These guys know as much as very limited things.

But Xiang Shan soon found several different traces of intrusion inside the system of several cameras.

"It seems that there is more than one non-official force monitoring this side? It's kind of interesting. ”

Xiang Shan patted Cui on the shoulder, then turned and walked in the other direction.

He will keep a distance of 100 meters from Cui Ji to ensure that the two of them will not be wiped out in waves.

And at this distance, even if someone suddenly attacks, Xiang Shan is sure to save Cui Ji.

After all, Xiang Shan just doesn't like guns, but he doesn't understand guns.

Cui Yu silently visualized the Arctic iceberg and settled his mind before walking towards the hut.

This tin hut looks like an abandoned warehouse. Metal can isolate the prying eyes of electromagnetic waves in multiple frequency bands, which is quite a good building material.

Cui found a mud-stained stain under a window.

The rest of the signal is hidden in the stain.

Cui interprets the information, and then the sounder emits a short ultrasound signal.

A moment later, the door opened.
