Guan Er opened the door of the ward. The smell of disinfectant here is getting worse and worse, and just by entering the hospital, he has a feeling of nausea.

Every day, people leave the hospital, perhaps through the main entrance, or towards the morgue.

But only the smell of disinfectant water never changes.

"Here we are." There was a hint of laziness in the woman's voice, as if she had no strength, or perhaps, a little disappointed.

The breeze blew the snow-white curtains, but it could no longer blow the blonde hair that she once had.

She didn't ask why Guan Er was the only one who came, since she asked a few times a few years ago, she was used to not asking anymore.

asked, and made Guan Er feel guilty.

He also felt guilty even if he didn't ask.

"Here we are, Mom." Guan Er put the fruit he brought to the window: "Aunt Qin's home-grown mango is very sweet. ”

"Hey." The woman stretched out her pale hand and gently touched the ripe mango. It smelled of summer, as warm as the sun outside, diluting the pungent smell of disinfectant water in the ward.

But alas, she can't eat anymore. The pain tormented her all the time, and she could only take some medicine powder provided by the hospital to relieve the pain.

The Commonwealth has long passed the era of infusions. Only a few milliliters of blood are needed to perform a full body examination. On an ordinary day a few years ago, his mother received a notice from the hospital at home that cancer cells had been detected in her saliva at the restaurant she frequented.

Since then, she has been a regular visitor to the hospital.

No infusions, no injections, she can walk freely in the hospital, and she looks no different from ordinary people.

Because the hospital has already been diagnosed, it can't be saved.

Her immunity was declining day by day, and the time spent walking downstairs went from five or six hours a day to an hour or half an hour.

By now, she couldn't get out of bed. Not to mention going home, even if she leaves the ward, bacteria and viruses will kill her.

So she could only lie in bed and wait for someone to come and see her.

The one who comes most diligently is usually the second tube.

As for the management, he is just more diligent in his post.

"I heard that your brother went to the capital?" A blue screen appeared in front of her, and inside was a letter written to her. Between the lines, there is a leak of the thoughts that Guan rarely shows.

"It's been a month since I left." Guan Er was a little unaccustomed at first, and now, he is the only one who is punished every day. Often a person sits in the courtyard, sitting in the position where Guan Shi often sits, watching the white clouds flowing in the sky.

He knew that he couldn't beat him, so he practiced martial arts more diligently than usual. It's just that the academic performance is always not up to standard, and it is easy to be lectured by the police.

What are you kidding, who still learns in this society now.

"Knowledge is interesting." The woman listened to his complaints, gently stroked Guan Er's head, and said softly, "Inside is the wisdom that still exists of human beings. ”

Her mother was a very fond reader, and according to her, her grandfather was a graduate of the last school in the Federation. Since then, virtual reality has developed, and all federal education is done by computer.

What's the name of the school, Harvard? But it's a long time ago.

"I heard him say that going to the capital is also going to school. It's strange that there are still schools in the federal federation now. The woman showed Guan Er the letters, and Guan Er also took out the letters that Guan Shi had written for him, and Guan Shi's life in the Tius Academy was displayed in front of the two of them.

I wasn't discriminated against, I wasn't humiliated, it's just that there are very few teachers here, and there are a lot of strange but very good people.

At that time, there was no such thing as an enforcer. The so-called gift is still a federal secret.

"It doesn't matter what you learn, the key is how many people still have the opportunity to learn." The woman looked at Guan Er and said seriously: "If there is only one school left in the Federation, there will only be these few students left." That means that the resources of the entire federation are on them. ”

Guan Er just listened quietly, he didn't understand what his mother said, but when it was his turn, he talked about his martial arts training and how many wooden stakes he broke today.

"I'm going to beat him." Guan Er waved his fist. The palm of the hand is very the same as the tube, because the perennial martial arts training has sharpened the calluses.

The woman pinched Guan Er's little face dotingly, and didn't say anything more.

It's just that Guan Er noticed that the force of her pinching face was getting shallower day by day.

At this moment, the woman covered her mouth in pain and coughed a few times, and soon there was a trace of blood in the air.

It's not the first time Guan Er has seen blood, and when fighting with gangsters, it's common to spit out two mouthfuls of blood.

But none of these faint drops of blood made his heart ache more.

The woman's palm was just lying with a few traces of blood, and the fish bones were stabbed more than this bleeding.

But her bracelet had already told the doctor the news.

Three minutes later, a white-gloved doctor barged in. Behind him was a huge machine, big enough to cram a man in.

Here, it's going to be an operating room.

"Let's go back. Mango is delicious, just eat a little more. It's autumn soon, and it's been a little cold lately, so you add more clothes. I remember telling my dad that I was fine. ”

Somehow, Guan Er's tears were a bit too much today. It was the dog day weather, but he felt a little chill in his heart.

。。。

"How's Mom?" When I got home, Guan Qin had already cooked the meal. It seems that there is very little work today, and he still has time to clean up the house. The family portrait of the four people was neatly placed on the cabinet and wiped very carefully.

"Oh no, she's coughing up some blood." Guan Er's eyes were blank, looking at the table full of dishes, but the scene of his mother coughing up blood lingered in his mind.

"How?" Guan Qin's brows furrowed, chewed waxy and ate two bites of food, then stood up and walked out the door.

In the quiet restaurant, only Guan Er was left.

But it seems, there is still the sound of flipping books?

A man in a black trench coat walked out of the study. Holding the book in the study in his hand, he was looking at it carefully.

But this taste is not right, this is Guan Er's home, and there is Guan Qin's study.

It's easy to understand if there is a woman hidden, but this person ...... It must be a man.

It's hard to believe that my dad still has this habit.

However, it seems that I have seen him somewhere. By the way, on the day my brother received the admission letter, he followed behind his father.

"The government has a lot of secrets. But we didn't. The man in black didn't take care of Eryan, flipped through the book by himself, and said, "Your mother's illness, as long as you have a certain authority, you can find out clearly." But no one can find out which university your brother went to and who is teaching. ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Guan Er hates that people disturb him eating, even if he has no appetite right now.

"Again, your mother's illness could have been cured." The man in black saw that Guan Er's attention was immediately attracted, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, closed the book, took a plate by himself, and began to serve the dishes.

"You're farting!" Guan Er looked at his underwhelming appearance, stepped forward and grabbed his collar directly, but to his surprise, he used a lot of force, but it only made his collar wrinkle.

The man's legs were still standing firmly on the ground.

"Don't be in a hurry, we still have a lot of time to talk." The man grinned and grinned as he gripped Guan Er's wrist, and the pain made him let go.

This person has the strength to hang Guan Er.

"So far, about 56% of the diseases that have been found can be completely cured. This number is high, two hundred years ago, it was around 5%. Not to mention that we've found more pathologies. The man slowly sorted out his clothes and began to eat the meal of Guan Qin's family. You can tell he's hungry.

"This tomato scrambled egg is delicious." His movements in gripping chopsticks are very skillful, Guan Er didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him at all, and the strength with which he held his wrist just now had already proved that he was not an ordinary person.

"The result of all this is due to centralized supercomputers. The computing power of the whole federation is collected in one place and deployed in a unified manner. The Internet we use today comes from a single system. The Federation intends to give it a name, 'Friend'. They believe that this will alleviate people's fear of mechanical life. He chuckled and continued to eat.

Guan Er had never heard of these secrets at all, sat at the table honestly, and even began to take the initiative to hand over the dishes.

"Thank you." The calm temperament of reading the book just now was gone, and the man continued to chat with Guan Er: "Since then, the speed of research and development of new drugs has been accelerated. The pharmaceutical process, which used to require a team of hundreds of people and hundreds of thousands of experiments to be put into clinical use, has been greatly simplified by computers. Relying entirely on computer-provided results and analysis results result in more efficient results than human decision-making on their own. So, many diseases can be cured, and among them, it should have included your mother's disease. ”

"What do you mean?! Can my mother's illness be cured? Guan Er stood up excitedly.

"That's how it should be." The man took out a small shield from his pocket, the blue light lit up faintly, and then he showed Guan Er a report.

"This is disease M40067, which corresponds to the progress of experimental drug research and development." Guan Er saw that this new drug had not yet been developed, but it was in the front row.

"Is it coming soon, can you let them get it quickly, my mother is still waiting!" Guan Er didn't understand much, but he was in a hurry.

The man smiled wryly, and then told Guan Er a cruel truth.

"The government intends to slow down the pace of research and development of new drugs. Because they want to use their 'friend's computing power elsewhere, after all, they have discovered a 'new continent'. A way to take humanity to the next level. The computing power has been diverted to other uses, and this new drug is estimated to be developed in a year. ”

"But your mother, she may only have three months to live."

Without waiting for Guan Er to digest the news, the man threw out a tempting invitation.

"We're working on this, are you interested in joining 'No Name'?" The man licked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Of course, that's what your father meant." ”
