Chapter 120: The Sea of the Past

"All things considered, you're the right fit."

When Jing Hongtu said this, he was looking into the distance.

"Hah...... How can I ......"

"You are from the Republic. You are a person in this park. At the same time, if you can appear here, it means that you have passed the political trial. But on the other hand, there have been no 'big officials' in your family for generations. Wang Yiren: They don't have to worry that you will be an object that is difficult for them to control - in the eyes of 'them', you can be 'your own person'. ”

"Also, your work on cracking the 'Orrenmira Project' is beautiful. Don't be modest, I've heard professionals say that your work is still beautiful. You deserve the most credit for cracking that alien garbage. ”

"Moreover, you, together with Professor Foigt and researcher Kamihara, became one of the first scholars to come into contact with 'Ogung'β€”which is a huge asset in the intellectual community. Know Armstrong? Know Gagarin? Your liking for them is similar to what other people have for you. ”

"Professor Foiggett's personality is completely unfit for this position, and the United States will never support him in obtaining this position. Researcher Kamihara has left the project. At this point, you're in a good position. ”

Jing Hongtu stretched out his hand to Xiang Shan: "Look, with such a strong capital, isn't it a pity not to use it?" ”

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "But I didn't really want to use it." I am convinced that if I do my research well, I will contribute to the country, mankind and society. What about yourself? You seem to be ...... too."

"Well, I have a brother, and the official is quite big. For Wang Yiren, I belong to the 'unstable factor'. Jing Hongtu stared at Xiang Shan for a few seconds before sitting down: "Xiao Xiang...... Let's forget about the New Year. The relationship is quite iron. ”

"How dare you ......"

"No, I'm serious, Xiao Xiang." Jing Hongtu said, "We chatted very happily, didn't we?" I can see that you have a fire in your heart. You're suppressing yourself. ”

"You are angry when you see that humanity is undoubtedly pushing itself into the abyss of destruction. You are angry when you see capital interfering with the human mind. When you see the fool thirsting for war, you are angry. You're angry all the time. But you have been suppressing the anger in your heart for a long time. ”

"Or else?" There was a hint of impatience in Xiang Shan's toneβ€”and perhaps a little bit of anger. He asked rhetorically, "Should we let this fire burn the world?" I can't. So it's no different from the people I hate, right? ”

"Now you have a chance." Jing Hongtu said calmly: "You have a chance to lead this fire to the right place and let it burn the rotten things." Only when there is 'wildfire burning dead grass' can there be 'east wind moving green mangs'. ”

Xiang Shan thought for a moment, but suddenly said dejectedly: "I think I may not be able to do it." ”

"No, you did it." Jing Hongtu said: "You have understood the most important thing of 'compromise'. ”

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "Compromise...... The thought of compromising to a group of bureaucrats makes me feel uncomfortable. It's true. I can't do it. ”

"It's not that you're going to compromise with the bureaucracy, it's that you're going to compromise with reality." Jing Hongtu said: "Xiao Xiang, you have heard me tell a lot of stories before. Did I tell you the story of the Weimar Republic? ”

"Where?"

"Things that preceded the Capitol arson." Jing Hongtu said: "At that time, the confrontation between the German National Socialist Party, the German Red Party, and the German Social Democratic Party. ”

Although Adolf's National Socialist Party occupied the position of the largest party, the Weimar Republic at that time was after all the hometown of philosophers, and there were many progressives and idealists. With only 32 percent of the Kuomintang's power, the Nationalist Party has little advantage. If they join forces, they can completely suppress the National Socialist Party. ”

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "Ah, this ......"

Even if he didn't study much history, he always knew about the Second World War and the Third Reich led by the National Socialist Party.

Clearly, the progressives didn't hold back.

"Quite simply, the idealists are busy criticizing each other for not being progressiveβ€”for them, not being completely progressive is not progressing at all. The Red Party of Germany had proposed a united front to regain the power stolen by the National Socialists. Soon, however, idealists raised their banners and attacked the leaders of the Red Party. As a result, the contradictions between the German Red Party and other progressive forces intensified. ”

"Finally you know. A group of fools blamed each other for their praise of Lord Adolf, and then they were lifted up by Lord Adolf. ”

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "I always feel that this plot sounds a little familiar......"

"Ah, yes, it's quite similar to the plot of the United States in the last ten years. A group of people who are really kind, but they are stupid to the extreme, accuse each other of not making enough progress on the other side. Hegel said it well that the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history. Jing Hongtu shrugged: "It's too easy for an idealist to be an idiot." Idiots who start accusing their own people of not being progressive enough before 'victory'. Idealists who can achieve great things must learn to sweep this kind of idiocy out of the ranks. ”

Jing Hongtu looked at Xiang Shan: "You can say the phrase 'bureaucrats may be protecting the world', you are not much better than those fools." ”

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "Is there one?" This...... I'm just talking about it in that situation, right? ”

"You can say this casually, and this logic has been implanted in your heart." Jing Hongtu stood up again: "Xiao Xiang, you are an idealist, but you are not stupid. You are very smart. This is already the basis for 'making great things'. ”

Xiang Shan sighed: "It's a big deal...... Something big...... I'm just a researcher......"

"I remember what you said to me the first time we talked." Jing Hongtu recalled: "'Mature 3D printing technology, to a certain extent, can change the industrial pattern' - you want to change the 'industrial pattern', you want to change the world in your own way from the beginning." ”

"yes." Xiang Shan gave up: "Yes, I really want to change the world." But being an official really can't do it. ”

"You also said, 'Who made my career a 'pallia'?" You know very well that you will not be able to stop the tendency of capitalism to push the world into an economic crisis. You can only treat the symptoms – however, now there is an opportunity to go further. Taking a step back, even if you don't succeed, you can rely on this qualification to access more resources and promote research that you think is more beneficial to humanity. And further...... This is an opportunity for you to influence the entire human academic community, and even human civilization! ”

Jing Hongtu waved his hand and pointed to the "white tent" in the distance: "What do you think 'Ogon' is?" It's something you've never seen before! Nothing like this has ever appeared in history. Its appearance changed history in itself. In the process of studying it, you have made an outstanding contribution. If you build a greater presence here...... This is an opportunity, Xiao Xiang. ”

"But ......"

"What you are worried about is nothing more than violating the principles established since childhood in compromise and concession, and you are afraid of 'dirty hands'." Jing Hongtu's tone was a little harsh, "But how can there be anything that is completely white and clean and doesn't stick to a single ink spot?" ”

"If you really want to maximize your contribution to humanity, then don't be afraid ......"

The surrounding scenery spreads out like water waves.

Xiang Shan knelt on the ground, actually crying silently.

The picture in front of me suddenly changed to an older one...... Twenty years older, I guess so.

For the old man at that node, twenty years old is enough to trigger a huge change. Jing Hongtu's hair is more thinning, his face has more age spots, deeper wrinkles, and he is shorter. The strength to swim in the sea has disappeared, and the decorative cane has become something that has to be used.

The old man crouched in front of Xiang Shan, one hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Why are you crying here...... What kind of inexplicable guilt do you have? Xiao Xiang, I don't have to criticize you. You're going to save the world. If this knot can't get out, this little thing can crush you, then you sell the equity in your hand as soon as possible and become a rich man with peace of mind. You're financially free anyway. ”

Xiang Shan should have come to visit this old friend. After he came in, Jing Hongtu asked the nanny to go to the side to rest, and he wanted to have a good chat with this old friend.

However, the gloom in Xiang Shan's heart gradually exploded.

This should have been 44 or 45 years.

"I can't save you......" Xiang Shan wiped his tears, "I didn't save my mother...... I can't help any of the old people. How can there be such a thing...... It could be just a difference in how old you are. There shouldn't be such a thing...... This ......"

"What do you think you are? God or Savior? 'You can't save me'? Shall I accept your favor and kneel on the ground to be redeemed by you? Like words? It's not like that. Jing Hongtu shook his head.

Xiang Shan wiped his tears like a child.

"I have a few friends who live in nursing homes." Jing Hongtu sighed and said: "They said, there have been more foreigners among the volunteers in the nursing home over the years. There are also people who seem to be high intellectuals. Your company's? ”

Xiang Shan nodded.

This is a real problem, and the baseline human genetic modification surgery will raise a series of immune problems. In the process of being rewritten, the immune system attacks itself. This poses a huge threat to the life of the recipient. In addition, the process of raising body temperature from 37 degrees to 52 degrees is also very dangerous.

People over 60 years old can't afford to toss. No, even people over the age of fifty-five are dangerous.

In order for genetic modification surgery to be carried out, there must be no accident deaths in the initial stage.

Therefore, the first to undergo surgery are not those in their fifties who will soon be unable to undergo surgery, but young adults in their twenties and thirties.

Humans over the age of fifty seem to have been abandoned by history.
