17. Ten dollars of chat

The area where the parking area and the shantytown are located is called the transition road.

The fusion reactor is powered by a fusion reactor five kilometers underground, and the waste heat is discharged through pipes to keep the transition channel at a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius – a unit that of course is perceived by geocentric Zheng Yi, which locals say is the 25th national standard heat.

It's a friendly temperature, but no one knows for sure when the outer gates will open. Once a vehicle confirms the pass code, the gate will automatically open, and then the cold air of minus 20 or even 30 degrees Celsius in the desert will communicate in, and it will be very unpleasant to sleep until midnight and be woken up by the cold wind.

These humble huts don't need to be insulated, so they can shelter from the wind.

The young man and his sister curled their legs and gave up a small area on the soles of their feet to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi gave the girl an extra thirty seconds of [treatment], which was considered a lodging fee.

When the baffle was lowered, Zheng Yi couldn't help but say, "Can't you make your home bigger?" ”

"Shelters charge a fee based on the space they occupy." The young man's voice was ethereal, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Zheng Yi also felt tired, and muttered: "It should be bigger, more comfortable, and safer......"

"It's safe here," the young man said. There is a high-energy laser every two meters at the top of the space to deal with various policing or criminal incidents......"

Zheng Yi didn't answer, didn't even think about what it meant. His day was too long, and he fell asleep quickly. When he regained consciousness, he felt someone watching him.

The eighteen-year-old girl leaned against the cardboard wall and looked at Zheng Yi quietly.

Zheng Yi can perceive that she has no emotions, no thoughts, and is simply quiet. If it weren't for the confidence of Sequence 2, he would really feel like he had entered the world of horror movies.

So Zheng Yi broke the silence and prepared to talk about a ten-yuan day: "Woke up? ”

"Yes." The girl said.

"The world below you...... The more he talked, the more terrifying he became...... Zheng Yi turned over and sat up: "Are the people in the shelter all emotional?" ”

"Because it's unnecessary." The girl said.

Zheng Yi was speechless: "I can't talk about it this day." ”

"Why can't we talk?" The girl really wanted to talk: "Your grammar is very strange. ”

"I just want to talk about it, and you'll be stabbed to the philosophical level with one shot." Zheng Yi looked at the girl and saw that there was a glimmer of light in her eyes, double eyelids. It's not pretty, it's not ugly.

"Only a very small number of people can study philosophy," she said. ”

"And what do you study?"

"Our family belongs to the mechanical engineering group." The girl said, "I studied mechanical design. ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "Engineering is good for employment." What are your plans for the future? ”

The girl said, "We will stay in the transition corridor." Apply for a transitional channel management position, with public rooms and working meals. ”

"Well, it's not bad, it's Lao Hong's kind of work." Zheng Yi feels that this kind of work is a bit of an iron rice bowl.

The girl snorted, suddenly revealing a small mood swing. She spoke at a slower pace and said:

"Thank you for not making my brother genetically modified."

"Well, it feels a little discriminatory, but that's okay." Zheng Yi waved his hand and asked, "Why are you so hostile to genetic modification?" Do you really believe that genetically modified humans will destroy the world? Destroy the world again? ”

"It's inevitable." The girl said it categorically:

"The artificial intervention of genes aims to fully sublimate human life forms. As the sequence increases, human nature will give way to regularity, and the higher rules do not prioritize the survival and reproduction of the human race. This is history, the present, and the future. ”

Zheng Yi felt that this passage was far more than ten yuan of information.

He translated it briefly in his mind: Originally, the scientists in this world wanted everyone to take a medicine, and become an immortal by the way. I never expected it to succeed, but it turned out that after becoming an immortal, people are not human, and they don't care about the life and death of human beings. Maybe it's like an extreme little animal protection, for the sake of their own reason (obsession) (obsession), directly attack human compatriots.

Zheng Yi said: "The low sequence should be fine. He remembered that Ah Kun was very normal, he would vomit when he saw a corpse, he would be hard when he saw his sister, and he would brag about meat jokes all day long.

"Genetically modified people have genetic defects and are at high risk of losing control." "If they had children, it would pollute the entire human gene pool," the girl said. Their offspring are also at extremely high risk of losing control. Shelters are vulnerable and cannot take this risk. ”

"After the GM went out of control, the mitochondrial energy release mechanism mutated." The girl said: "At that time, they could not communicate, they could not control, they became foreign beasts, they were no longer human. If, in an important position, an executor loses control without warning because of the parental genes of several generations ago......"

The young man who had been lying down turned over and said dimly: "Sister, we have to sell information in exchange for living expenses." ”

My sister said, "These are common sense on the ground. She looked at Zheng Yi: "Moreover, this gentleman should know the risks he is facing." The Vault is to monitor all genetically modified individuals above sequence 6. ”

Zheng Yi was vigilant in his heart: "What if I don't want to be monitored? ”

"Don't let anyone know." The girl touched the position where she had made the surgery: "The last thing you used for me should be the ability of medical sequence 6." ”

Zheng Yi did not deny it.

Zheng Yi's perceptive instinct led him to believe that being targeted by the Vault was nothing good and that it contained a great threat. This system, which holds the highest and final civilization of mankind, has a natural hostility towards genetically modified humans. Judging by the degree to which young people are brainwashed, this hostility is completely irreversible.

If Sequence 6 is to be monitored, what about Sequence 2?

In Zheng Yi's view, sequence 6 is still a mild and harmless low-level sequence!

"There's another way." The young man rolled over and sat up.

"Say."
