42 Sikong Jing

"Hmph, this idiot, so many times, nothing at all?" William yelled at his boss in one of his offices in the Pentagon.

"Wilson, you should be glad that this time it's Tyre here, not you." Admiral Harry stood in front of the coffee machine, he showed a spoonful of coffee beans scooped up, sniffed, and poured into the grinder, he grabbed and shook his hand, grinding the beans carefully.

"Tyrk has activated Skynet so many times, can't he see anything with his bull's eyes?" William tore his tie slightly, and he could feel a breath of anger that gave him nowhere to vent.

"Wilson, Tyre has done everything you wanted, and as for his report, you know that the Chinese side is extremely strict with his surveillance, and what do you want to know, you can only wait for him to return home." Harry poured the already ground coffee into the pot.

"Admiral Harry." William smelled the aroma of coffee, he naturally knew Liu Moqing's methods, but he just complained, and he knew that even he would be helpless.

"Wilson, would you like a drink?" Admiral Harry asked, holding up his coffee cup.

"Thank you, Admiral." Wilson reached out and took the coffee cup.

"At present, we all know the crisis in our homeland, and Mr. President has blocked the news within a controllable range, and you are even more responsible." Admiral Harry took a sip of his coffee and closed his eyes for a moment.

He continued: "As far as I know, the Chinese side is actively working on the human project. ”

"Hmph, human projects, how much we put into it, where will it be so easy for them to start with."

"Do you remember that young man named Sikong Jing?"

"Humph! What happened to him? William's hand shook slightly, and he placed the cup next to the coffee pot.

"Sikong Jing is the person in charge of the human project."

"As far as I know, his specialty is quantum transmission."

"That's right, since June, after we transferred the human project to the Chinese side, in seven months, Sikong Jing has successfully completed the human synthesis, and they are currently in the final stage."

"What?!" William finally couldn't contain his shock.

Admiral Harry looked at him, nodded seriously, and said, "The Chinese side has caught up with our progress. ”

After ten years of research, he was confident that even if the Chinese side got it, it would not be able to catch up in a few years.

He did not expect that it would take the Chinese side just over half a year to catch up with him, which took him ten years.

Frustration was slowly tormenting him at this time, making him breathless like a stranded fish; He made him feel like he was under fire, his ears buzzing incessantly, and Admiral Harry could not concentrate on what Admiral said to him; It made him feel like he had taken a wrong step, falling off a cliff, falling and falling.

"Hey! Need another cup of coffee? Admiral Harry saw that something was wrong with William, and as he spoke, the other party did not react at all.

He grabbed William's shoulder, his fingers using force, the pain pulling William back, and Harry let go of his hand as he saw William's pupils regather.

"Here you go." Harry refilled William's coffee cup.

William took the coffee cup, he slowly wiped his face with his hand, and exhaled, the sensation just made him terrible.

"Wilson, do you have any thoughts on what the Chinese side said about those giants and their Oriental myths?" Harry shifted the subject.

"What? Oh, are you talking about the warning that China gave us later? William drank the coffee from his cup, the aroma of the coffee lifted his spirits, and he seemed to feel better.

"Yes, since Skynet was opened, for such a long time, the space-time rift has remained the same, and it has not continued to overflow, but has maintained a certain value, except for increasing the number." Admiral Harry sat back on his desk, looking at William.

William first gestured to the coffee cup in his hand, Harry made a casual gesture, William took the coffee pot, but only half a cup was poured, and the coffee was already finished.

Harry stood up, pouring the beans back into the grinder, grinding them finely.

"It's really strange that those time-space cracks have been stable, but I don't think it has anything to do with the myths and stories that the Chinese side is telling." William finished half a cup of coffee and said.

"That's what you think too." Harry grinded his coffee, he muttered.

"Isn't it?" William was a little annoyed by his boss's attitude.

"I'm not sure, but some of the facts listed by the Chinese side do not seem reasonable, but most of them are... You know, said in the past. Harry stopped moving.

"Yes, the myths that every American knows are from Norse mythology, and the stories we grew up with are stories of war between Odin, the gods of Thor, and the giants. And, of course, the Great Flood caused by the end of the gods. This does not mean that the striking similarity between Oriental mythology and Norse mythology or any other myth should be believed to be related to those myths. William said disdainfully.

"Then how to explain the progress of the human project that China wants to make in such a short period of time." Admiral Harry looked at William.

William took a deep breath as he looked at Admiral Harry.

"If they complete the human project, then they can use the rift in time and space to have a grandiose invasion of the United States."

Harry raised the coffee in his hand, but he didn't say anything.

"Understood, I'm going to work on the human project and speed up the production of the B-class project."

"It was better to do so." Harry finished the rest of his cup.

Beijing, China

Sikong Jing listened to the report of the scientific researchers in the laboratory.

"The Human Project is a human project that uses neuroscience and synthetic biology to augment humans, and specifically, we should be a Human 2.0 project." A researcher who appeared to be in his twenties explained.

"We use human cells and synthesize biological bodies to form a new human body, the brain can still function without the body, but the body cannot continue to function without the command of the brain, and it is based on this simple concept that the Human 2.0 project was created."

Sikong Jing nodded, this is exactly what the US side has not taken into account. The aim of the Human Project is to maximize the use of human DNA to strengthen the human body.

"Our goal is to provide the human brain with a synthetic body, an alternative body. But more importantly, we wanted it to have a human form. The researcher continued.

He led Sikong Jing into a laboratory, the laboratory was filled with various large machines, they used the space reasonably, and finally reserved one-third of the space, after Sikong Jing entered the room, the first thing he saw was the person in the middle full of various pipes.

Sikong Jing observed it up close, not so much a human being as an "artificial man".

The "man" with tubes all over his body had humanoid skin, and if you looked closely, you could see the mechanical structure of his finger joints, his face was very close to a human, his skin was pale, but it was also distinguishable from the resemblance to a human, and the back of his head was stuck with a tube as thick as the arm of a six- or seven-year-old child.

"The face we are referencing the human project and we haven't changed it. But we can use 3D printing technology to reprint and replace the face of each transplanted person so that it doesn't feel like a different person. ”

Sikong Jing nodded in understanding, the researcher walked up to the man, put his hand on his head and pulled out the tube, the tube opened along with the back of the head, and he could see that the brain was empty, and at the same time exposed a red gelatinous substance,

"Inside, there's a jelly-like substance inside, which is actually a cooling gel that travels around the body and is covered with millions of tiny fiber-optic wires that connect the brain to synthetic muscles everywhere, and even to surface sensors. ”

"The human brain will be placed here, and this gel also acts as a shock absorber, so if Human 2.0 is hit by any impact, this gel can disperse the impact force to protect the brain," said the scientists, drawing circles on the empty brain. ”

He reattached the tube that was attached to the back of his head, and with a thud, the body's eyes opened and slowly closed. "It's a synaptic reflex, because the brain hasn't been transplanted into this body, so it's essentially just a body. It's like a computer without a hard drive. ”

Sikong Jing nodded approvingly, and the researcher continued: "It's all thanks to the human project, because the human shell is a breakthrough, in terms of nanotechnology materials, it is made of a military graphene, so millions of miniature fibers are woven together to achieve the indestructible effect of the human shell. But it also maintains elasticity, which is crucial in some ways, such as the joints. The researcher pointed to the knuckles of his fingers that Sikong Jing had already noticed.

The researcher motioned to the staff next to him, and after the staff clicked a few buttons, the android opened his eyes.

"Its eyes use nano-optical technology, which allows the retina to adapt to different light conditions, why it breathes, which can make the transplant person feel more familiar, can allow him to quickly adapt to the body, the respiration effect is actually caused by a mechanism in the synthetic, which can help the synthesizer to thermostat, the strict control of glucose and oxygen metabolism, which is essential for brain physiology."

Sikong Jing listened carefully, and the researchers continued to explain to him: "We have developed a compound called "Z02G", which will release a small amount of electrical nerves to the brain, this compound, in essence, is similar to glucose and oxygen, so it can provide nutrients to the brain and maintain its functioning. ”

"Will there be some exclusion? Just like organ transplants, brain transplants should have a similar situation. Sikong Jing asked.

"We have also considered these, and in order to prevent rejection and other factors, we can introduce a small amount of the subject's own cells into artificial colloids. This means that the brain can establish contact with some organic matter without rejection, and when the brain begins to connect with external body structures, it will reduce the process of rejection and fusion. ”

Sikong Jing was very satisfied, and the next step was the test stage.

The project has been top secret for now, and it is impossible for the government to approve such a project due to ethical concerns.

It had come to this point, and Sikong Jing knew that it was time for him to go back.
