CH.14 If Memories Could Be Transplanted (11)
Yang Zhaolin turned his head in surprise to look at Su Lian in reality, he really didn't expect this seemingly weak thin man to be so paranoid.
When Principal Mu heard the last sentence, his originally stretched eyebrows gradually became sharp, and he said faintly: "Su Lian, whether it is illegal or not, it depends on what angle to evaluate." When our martyrs killed the invaders, although they deprived others of their lives, they absolutely had nothing to do with crimes, and even great feats. Speaking of which...... Do you remember the high school entrance examination that ended more than two months ago? Although you are already in your third year of high school, you don't have the time or need to pay attention to the exams of junior high school students, but this year's Chinese composition questions are indeed more special......"
"Yes," replied Su Lian cautiously, "the title is 'If memories can be transplanted.'" β
"That's right, in the past, the essay topics were all argumentative essays or narrative essays, and science fiction themes were basically impossible. But I don't know why the Education Committee came up with such a strange topic on a whim, and this topic even caused a short-term science fiction craze, not only many parents bought science fiction books for their children, but even the biological genetics major became popular when high school students applied for volunteering. β
Su Lian shook his head: "Principal Mu, this year's topic is hot, but next year may not be." It's just a follow-up. Besides, this topic is meaningless, it is an obvious 'pseudo-science fiction', how can memories be transplanted? This assumption plays little to the reality of scientific and technological progress. β
"This is the crux of the matter, Xiao Lian," Principal Mu changed his more affectionate title to close the distance, but still maintained a serious attitude, "Take a big step back, assuming that it can really be realized, it will really promote the progress of science and technology in reality, as you said?" Xiao Lian, with all due respect, human society can never be equal between the rich and the poor, even if you divide the wealth equally among everyone in the world and allow them to play freely, then in less than two hours, some people will use this money to make a fortune, and some people will squander their money and be poor and can only wait for death. You come from a poor background, so you can't help but work hard to change your cruel fate through learning, and you are already smart, so to speak, your future can be changed by your grades. But the gap in people's intelligence is not too big, how smart can they be? What if the memories were to be transplanted? The sons of corrupt officials and rich men may be poor in their studies, but they can buy this technology through power and money, and at the same time inherit the precious memories of scientists, and finally monopolize the only sacred college entrance examination that changes their fate fairly, so they essentially inherit everything from their parents, and can spend all their days drinking and enjoying themselves in luxury, and children like you, in the end, are also deprived of the opportunity to become superior people, how can they live? This is extremely detrimental to the healthy development of human society! So ......"
Su Lian didn't quite understand, this was just an essay topic, just a ridiculous assumption, how could it attract such a level of attention from Principal Mu? Unless......
"You have good grades in science, can you tell me who are the more famous scientists in our country at present?"
Cheng Ke, Li Qi...... Then there is Gu Chuanshu, they all have independent laboratories outside the circle, and mainstream scientists generally have no special contributions. Cheng Ke is American, it can't be counted, Li Qi and Gu Chuanshu should be the most famous at present. β
"Yes, it's this Gu Chuanshu! He has said more than once that the mainstream scientific community is a fool, and more recently he has gone so far as to claim that he has found a way to preserve and transplant the memory of his valuable experience and erudition to another person. β
Su Lian said quietly: "Principal Mu, do you believe what he said? Mavericks are even less credible than the mainstream academic community, which has never done anything. Didn't Li Qi once claim to find a shortcut to increase the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere year by year? And then? She herself admitted that it was a farce, and then disappeared, probably because she was afraid that people would poke her backbone and accuse her of being a liar. β
Principal Mu frowned heavily: "I'd rather believe it than guard against it." He used to be very low-key, basically living in seclusion, these days he is very angry, and he has taken great care to invite the media to do publicity, if there is no real material, it is unlikely that the hype will be so strong......"
Su Lian suddenly felt a little chilled, so he put aside his messy thoughts and went straight to the topic: "Teacher Mu, you are so kind to me that I don't have a word about what I want to do." I will explain your concerns to him, and I believe that he will not be unreasonable - the highest contribution of a truly responsible scientist is not how many academic papers he publishes, but whether he can take it as his responsibility to benefit the people. Maybe what Li Qi said at the beginning was true, but later realized that simply increasing the oxygen content might have some undesirable side effects, such as affecting the shape and evolution direction of existing organisms, so he stopped the cliff. Do you say? β
Principal Mu sighed heavily, as if he felt that he was playing the piano to the cow, so he planned to point out more: "I don't think he will listen to you." Do they think that they are science madmen, like the people who invented the atomic bomb back then, that it would be a weapon to destroy the earth first, and a tool to stop war second? They think they are responsible, so they feel that what they are doing is tantamount to benefiting the people. Just reason with him, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the consequences will be endless...... Do you understand? β
Su Lian was shocked, he didn't dare to raise his head or make excuses, it seemed that Principal Mu was staring at him.
"If you think about it, I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually, and say yes, because you're going to be a hero. And whether you agree or not, you'll keep it a secret, won't you? Principal Mu didn't give him a chance to breathe, just waved his hand, "Go back and study hard." Your future fate is in your own hands, as long as that person and his theory no longer exist, I have the ability to give you another hand through the relationship, so that you have a bright future......"
When the film was over, there was a dead silence in the hall. With the sound of slow footsteps, Gu Chuanxia slowly paced into the screening hall, at this time her face was full of grief and anger, and her original smug expression was swept away. Su Lian saw that she was excited, and she didn't dare to look at her.
"How about everyone? Got it? Do you want me to put it again? β
Yin Xinshui suddenly observed that Gu Chuanxia's eye circles were a little dark, but when he had a conversation a few minutes ago, he was suddenly touched and blurted out: "You...... Are you playing with your eyes? β
Gu Chuanxia glanced at her in a little surprise, and said gloomily for a while: "Yes, it's like DV." I suck up other people's brain fluids to grab memories, and then use my eyes to talk about the memories and play them back in the moving images that form in my mind. Every time I played, it cost me my health and even my lifeβit wasn't something I was told, I could feel it, and it was the only thing I knew about my abilities. β
She was about to walk away again: "I'll play the dialogue between the remaining three and Mu Zhongkai again......"
"No need!" Although Qian E was also very frightened, his perennial experience of dealing with violence made him calmer than the other three, "Since it will cost you your life, then don't play it, not to mention that we all know what you want to play." Your father has passed away, I don't want you to have any more mistakes, Principal Mu was killed by you, even if the grievances of the previous generation are settled......"
"No, it's not just a matter of hatred, because I don't believe that a principal would have such foresight and try to strangle new things in the cradle, even if he doesn't want memories to be transplanted, it's not his turn to worry, right? I would very much like to know the real reason. Gu Chuanxia approached him and looked at him for a while, "Qian E, since you don't want me to play it, why don't you talk to Xiu Mingrui yourself?" β
Xiu Mingrui looked at Qian E, hung his head and said, "I'll tell you!" I won't say much about Principal Mu's help to me in my studies in the three years of high school, I don't say thank you, and my family's economic conditions are better, so I often bring something to the principal. But I don't have to say good things about you killing my father's enemy, Principal Mu hasn't accepted a penny of private money in the past three years, that is, at most, I brought some cherries, chestnuts or other home-cooked food, and he only occasionally smiled. β
"That's right, our family has also sent red envelopes, and we can't send them out a few times, and Principal Mu has a very tough attitude." Qian E took over the conversation and added, "Compared to other schools, even the principal of a primary school, he is a poor man. Murder aside, he is indeed a strict self-disciplined person. β
"Who the hell are you two talking about?" Gu Chuanxia obviously couldn't accept this, and his tone became fierce.
