On the fifth day after the assassination of the head of the Knights of Mana, and the fourth day after martial law was imposed on the whole city, a rumor appeared in the slums north of the city. A new parts dealer has appeared in this place. The peddler has quite a few parts in his hands, and the quality of the parts is quite good, the kind that has no metal fatigue and can be used for at least ten years.

This news quickly attracted the attention of the intelligence department of Pine Eagle City. On the sixth day after martial law, they arrived in the slum and called on the surveillance system to observe the fabled peddler for a while.

Then, they came to the conclusion that this peddler was not supposed to be a chivalrous man, but he might have some connection to the green forest.

Most of the parts in this guy's hands are half-new, and some of them belong to the common specifications of martial arts prostheses, but there are few official army standards, so they shouldn't be obtained after killing soldiers.

"It seems to be an old part eliminated from the green forest." An intelligence officer wrote in a memo: "Those bandits buy certain parts that are difficult to dissolve and recycle as scrap. This peddler may just be their route for selling stolen goods. ”

"The only doubt is that none of these parts have a very high wear rate. But if the Green Forest organization has a pursuit of martial arts, it is also possible that the rate of elimination of parts is relatively fast. ”

"Considering that the asylum seekers may have to organize a crackdown on the green forest within three months, the hawker should be put under surveillance. But there is nothing noteworthy about the peddler himself. ”

The above is the evaluation of the intelligence department of Pine Eagle City.

Xiang Shan swaggered like this, under the watchful eye of these eagle dog figures, leaning against the small space surrounded by plastic sheets.

He'd already discovered the watchers. He now stored all the suspicious items in Matsushima Hiroshi, with only a few parts on his body [casually removed from the green forest], and with the help of Matsushima Hiroshi's facial decoration, he made a more realistic disguise, and he was not afraid of those guys coming to check.

He resisted the idea of looking through the translucent plastic film to see the watchers.

This is the house of the slum. It looks a bit like a small plastic greenhouse, directly enclosed by plastic sheeting of different colors to form a "private space".

Benchmark people have a higher demand for temperature. After prostheticization, the consumption of oxygen by cyber people is greatly reduced, but they are afraid of wind and sand, so this kind of dwelling that can block the flow of air, but can transmit light and keep the photovoltaic panels running, is especially suitable for these humans who only have a little photovoltaic panels left.

Of course, if the degree of prosthetics is not high enough, then there are some problems with living here.

According to Hiroshi Matsushima, there are often people who are not prosthetic enough to sleep in such greenhouses until they die of lack of oxygen.

If the level of prosthetic speech is not high enough, it is better to try your luck on the lower floors of the building opened by the lord. It's more exposed to sunlight, but at least the ventilation is good.

In this slum, there is nothing to live and die, and there is a high rate of population mobility.

People who have nothing can find a shed that they have nothing to get into, which is equivalent to having a home.

It's a great place to hide someone.

If Xiangshan had an isotope battery, an energy source whose working time is counted in "years", then the underground river would not be bad.

It's just that at this stage, Xiangshan still needs to rely on sunlight to generate electricity.

After the assassination of the American-Israeli Building, most underground estuaries or sewer outlets are now under surveillance.

The risk of exposure is also high if you go in and out frequently.

So after Hiroshi Matsushima's guidance, he came here.

It is said that Matsushima also said hello to the small group of residents of this generation. [This kind of loose organization has little real power, and it is difficult to prohibit it, so even if it is a little beyond the meaning of the Dyson principle, the asylum will not delve too deeply]

At this moment, Xiang Shan is completely light.

Xiangshan is now here waiting for the next sandstorm to rise.

He didn't have anything to do now, and he didn't need to prepare a disposable weapon like a bomb. There is no need to educate disciples.

The research materials of the Knights of Mana have also been handed over.

Ah, by the way, Xiang Shan also left a backup of the first generation of Jade Ding Fungus with Matsushima Hiroshi by the way.

This backup is in a special test tube. In that tube, the yeast grows gradually by absorbing the nutrients from the medium. During this process, the water in the medium is continuously evaporated. The inside of the tube has a hidden compartment on the inside of the cap, which contains metal salts that can bind to water molecules. This dark compartment will absorb the evaporated water, making the medium drier and drier.

When the medium is consumed to a certain extent, the spores will stop life activities, and the spores will continue to dormant.

When the time comes, you only need to stuff it into the refrigerator where you keep the medicine, and you can store it for many years.

If there are chivalrous people who can see it in the future, Hiroshi Matsushima can also give them a share of these spores.

In this way, this strategic resource can reach more people.

Of course, it's not that Xiang Shan doesn't want to put it directly into the natural world, so that all those who need it can take it for themselves.

Just doing so will have unpredictable results.

Microbes have a terrible mechanism – the lateral transmission of genetic information.

The genetic information of normal organisms can only be transmitted vertically, from parents to their own children, from parents to children.

However, microorganisms can transmit genetic information horizontally – individuals can not only obtain the genetic information of their parents, but also the genetic information of their "siblings" and even other people.

In the old generation, the reason why "super bugs" with strong drug resistance emerged in an endless stream was because bacteria could easily transmit genetic information horizontally. When a bacterium gains resistance by chance, this property quickly spreads to other microorganisms.

Some parasites also cause their genes to be passed on at the level of the host's genes.

Retroviruses can also lead to the horizontal transfer of genetic information between higher organisms, but not as simply as between microorganisms. However, there are also theories that the horizontal transmission of genetic information may be another key driver of evolution - even humans are human because our ape ancestors were infected with a certain virus and obtained foreign genetic information. 】

Jade Fungus is a highly intelligent design product with many genomes in it, which are completely original to humans and do not exist in nature. If it is released into the wild and not completely destroyed, no one can predict what will happen when the genetic information is transmitted horizontally.

Of course, Xiang Shan would not do such a terrible thing.

He just stayed in the shed and waited quietly for the wind to pick up.

and reading your own memories.

His spirit slowly sank, falling on his old self once more.

……………………………………………………………………

In December 2043, at Haneda International Airport, 12-year-old Kamihara Yanye stared at the strong man in front of him angrily, tears rolling in the corners of his eyes.

Shen Yuan Zun wanted to pick up his daughter, but Shen Yuan Yan Ye opened his father's hand angrily.

"Yanye!" The young woman on the side was a little angry: "Dad is going abroad now, going to a very dangerous place, do you want to send Dad abroad with such an expression?" ”

"It's not the first time anyway." Shen Yuan Yan Ye roared in a low voice, his expression like a fierce small dog.

Kamihara felt quite embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry......"

The little girl still ignored him.

Kamihara stood up, looked at his wife, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm really sorry......"

"No apologies, dear." The woman shook his coat, which was crumpled by squatting, and said gently, "It's something important, isn't it?" ”

"yes." Kamihara sighed, "I can't even tell you, 'This is the last time'...... I can never guarantee that. The people of that land, and the language. My fate has long been intertwined with them. ”

"So you never sent me to school." The little girl muttered.

The woman frowned: "Yan Ye, you ......"

Shen Yuanyan's mouth was deflated, and he turned around and wanted to run.

But at this time, another person pressed the little girl's head, and at the same time stuffed a group of beautiful toys bought from the airport store into her hands: "Children, don't run around! Stay with mom and dad honestly. ”

Shen Yuan Yan Ye was stunned for a moment: "Thank you...... No, who are you? ”

The little girl was wary and suspected that she might have run away from home less than three steps before she encountered the legendary child abductor.

But the father soon shattered the little girl's delusions.

Kamihara Zun exclaimed in surprise, "Xiang? Why are you here? ”

After saying this sentence in Japanese, Kamihara Zun was shocked to realize that he had used the wrong language, and hurriedly said it again in a language that the little girl did not understand.

"Oh, this one." Xiang Shan pointed to the timetable: "Turnaround." I saw your news on the official website of your institute, and wondered if you would also go to the United States today, and I saw you as soon as I got off the plane. Oops, I was thinking of buying some gifts and greeting by the way, but I saw you and your daughter...... This ......"

The wife of the original god held her writhing daughter with two hands, and still maintained a somewhat polite smile on her face: "Honey, who is this?" ”

"Oh, this is my former colleague at the United Nations, Xiang Shan of the Republic. When we got married, the level of secrecy of that project was not low, and they couldn't just leave. But Yan Ye came once when he was four or five years old. You probably don't remember. After introducing Xiang Shan, Shen Yuan Zun said to Xiang Shan: "I don't know if you remember, this is my wife, and her name is ......."

"Long time no see, Ms. Miku." He stretched out his hand to the mountain and shook hands with the woman.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Look at my memory. The woman bent down apologetically: "I actually hear my husband mention your name a lot, but I don't remember what you look like." ”
