Chapter 9: Project for a New Man-Made Human
"Are you awake?" The medical staff of the E branch of the Japan Hi-Tech Heavy Industries Branch were changing the infusion bottles, "Don't ask me, that girl is next to me." β
Cocheng smiled, then turned his head to look at the sleeping girl beside him.
"She's fine."
"She's fine, it's just that her body has low blood sugar, and at the same time the osmotic pressure is a little low, there is no problem now, just fall asleep, Commissioner Kecheng, if you are rested, take her away." The medical staff talked to Kecheng very professionally.
Kecheng went through the formalities and left the hospital with the girl in his arms, he didn't know where to take her, but according to the researcher's notes, he planned to live by his side first.
The two of them got on the plane, and because "Bai" did not have identity verification, they could not take the normal operation of the plane, and could only take the transport ship of the E branch, which happened to be the purpose of Fiplos, and it was also the will of the city.
However, it was still quite a long time to get from Japan to Fipulos, so Cocheng was not in the most hurry, and after settling "White", he slept on another flat bed in the cabin.
Kecheng also felt very tired, and every time he collapsed like that, he would become very weak, although SLM carriers recovered much faster than normal people, but it would take a long time for this to happen.
The afternoon is approaching dusk.
"Who are you? Who am I?" The voice that suddenly appeared in Kecheng's ears made him wake up early, who had gradually woken up.
Kecheng opened his eyes and sat down, but saw Shiro lying there lying on his body in a daze.
After that, Kecheng spent two hours to tell, although there are some false ingredients, but the age of Bai's existence is more than ten years older than Kecheng, but when he was frozen, he was only 12 years old, so now Bai looks exactly like a 12-year-old girl.
Kecheng put Shiro off him one last time, then looked at her beautiful eyes and said, "Your name is Shiro, and my name is Kecheng!"
"Okay, I got it!" Her voice was brisk.
"Well, don't call me uncle anymore!" Kecheng was a little angry, "Don't hold on to me at every turn." β
Shiro didn't seem to make any more jokes about him this time, and ran to the soft bed again and fell asleep. She really felt sleepy, and she didn't know why, and Kecheng only thought that it was caused by her just waking up from a long sleep and not adapting to her new environment.
Kecheng was lying on that hard flat bed thinking about everything he had experienced, and he didn't know why he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Shiro, could it be because Shiro was also a carrier of SLM.
He had thought about it too, but there was still a lot to do, so now it was time for the city to find a way to obtain the citizenship of Fipoulos for "White", because it was safer to live in Fipoulos than elsewhere.
The people in Fipulos are preparing for the next day's unusual holiday, which is the "Tianhe-1 Death Anniversary Day".
It is also the festival that Shiyu FΓΌrth has been looking forward to, after all, this festival is the first and has just passed in Fiplos.
Temporary port of Fiplos.
"White." Kecheng was holding Bai's hand and walking towards the city at this time, "Do you want to live here?" β
"I don't know, it's so different from my home."
"Home?"
The little girl seemed to remember something, she didn't answer, she just ran quickly to this strange place for her, this materialistic and drunken international metropolis, there are bustling commercial streets, many built parks, and highly mechanical and intelligent equipment.
Kecheng also followed the jogging and chased after him, and on the way to catch up, he suddenly came to the idea of investigating the identity of "Bai" and what the truth of the "SLM Carrier Artificial Plan" was.
So Cocheng took "White" to rest on a bench in the East Coast Park in Fipoulos, and then used the electronic board to encrypt all the collected information and send it to Haidt, whom he had always trusted.
It didn't take long for Haight to send a message, and he didn't choose to communicate because he gave up because he took into account the environment where Kecheng was located. He simply sent what he could find to Kecheng, also in an encrypted way.
"According to the information given by the 'Laps' quantum computer, the 'SLM Carrier Labor Plan' was proposed in the old era in 2093, because of the strong ability of the SLM carriers in the battle, so it includes the cooperation between the current Japan Hi-Tech Heavy Industries and the current Fipoulos (in 2093, which still belongs to the East Asian People's Republic), and finally began to implement the plan after 7 years of preparation, with the Japanese Hi-Tech Heavy Industries manufacturing 'white' and Fipros manufacturing 'black'."
"At the dawn of a new era, a disaster occurred in the scientific research institute of Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industries to implement this plan, and this thing was finally treated with a fire, so that the death of 'white' was declared. In the same year, Phipoulos declared independence from the East Asian People's Republic, which led to the devastating devastation of the institute due to the war, and finally the death of Hei. In early 2113, the project was officially terminated. β
Kecheng carefully read the information transmitted from the electronic board, and what he didn't expect was that there was a person who left the country like "White", but "Black" might really be dead.
The man had been sitting on the bench and watching Bai's movements, but she looked very depressed, ostensibly like a well-behaved and docile kitten leaning against her master.
It wasn't until a sudden communication reminder brought Kecheng back to his senses, and he connected the communication.
"Kecheng, did you read the message I sent you earlier?" Kefeifei was using an electronic board at home in East Asia at this time, and she rarely returned to Beihua City in East Asia to visit her mother on vacation, but she never saw Kecheng, and sent him messages and communications several times before, but Kecheng never noticed.
"I'm sorry, sister." Kecheng said in a low voice, "I was too tired from a business trip, and I fell asleep when I came back yesterday and didn't see it." β
Kofifei didn't seem to accept his rhetoric, and immediately asked: "Don't make excuses, quickly say when you will come back, my mother and sister are waiting for you." β
Kecheng had no choice but to say casually: "I can get there tonight." β
It was only when he said this that he began to regret it, because he couldn't bring "Bai" with him, so now he had to find a way to find someone to help take care of her or find a place for her to stay there.
He felt that he was also unlucky enough, first he put up the "SLM Carrier Labor Program" that had nothing to do with him, dragged his tired body back to Fipolos, and now he has to go back to Beihua City in East Asia to visit his mother.
Cocheng held his head on his hands and thought about what to do with it, until he remembered something from his time in the park.
Today is the day to commemorate the "Tianhe-1 Disaster", and Phipolos First University is on vacation in accordance with national requirements, which means that students can get an extra week of vacation.
For this reason, when Gu You was in the dormitory, she planned to take the others to the southern beach to play, but when she was ready for everything, it rained, and there seemed to be no way to go home and lie on her stomach, and she fell on the bed in a very depressed mood.
The screen of the electronic board flickered for a long time before she noticed, picked up the electronic board and looked at the note next to the communication icon: Teacher Kecheng who is paralyzed and ruthless. If Kecheng knew this note, he was afraid that he would be angry.
Gu You didn't expect him to take the initiative to send a communication, but as soon as she thought that the weather outside was not good, she knew that it would definitely be no good, so after connecting, she directly asked, "Teacher Kecheng, what do you want to ask me to do?" β
Kecheng, who was still in the park, was a little embarrassed, after all, he was begging for someone, so he had to lower his head and have a good conversation: "Xiaoyou, I want to ask you to help me watch a child." β
"Can you call you?" Gu You was a little angry because things were similar to what he guessed, "Wait, Teacher Kecheng, you won't kill people outside, aren't you?" β
Kecheng was very much like slapping her at this time, such a guess was a bit slanderous, but Kecheng knew that she was just a little vicious, but she was actually very kind, so he replied: "The daughter of a friend of mine, a 12-year-old girl, is very docile and well-behaved, and promises not to cause you trouble." β
"Why don't you take it back to your house, is there no one in your house? Isn't Luo Ying at home on vacation? β
"If I could, I'd do it, and they and I will go back to Beihua City, so please help take care of it for a week." Cosa had begged as best he could, in a slightly weeping voice.
Gu You originally wanted to refuse, but he seemed to have paid some attention, so he replied like this: "Then can you give some compensation?" β
"Anything goes, I'll do my best!"
"That's what you said, where are you now, I'll pick her up." Gu You smiled, as if he was happy about the compensation he was getting.
"East Side Park."
"Okay."
At the end of the communication, Kecheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after booking the ticket, he sat on the bench and communicated with Bai about the future.
"Gu You? Where are you going? Xiyu, Ye Ti and others, who lived next door, saw Gu You suddenly go out in a hurry, so they asked. They live together in a rented house.
Gu You seemed to be in a hurry to go out, and without thinking about it, he said: "Go and help Xiyu and your lover solve a * annoyance!" β
Ye Tilen froze, looked at Xiyu who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and then asked, "Your lover?" β
"Gu You's brain may be broken."
"I hope so, there is a task at night, you can go and prepare later, it just so happens that Gu You is not here." Ye Ti said to her before returning to the room.
At this time, the two people in the park on the east side had already done a simple communication thing.
"So, Shiro?" Gu You took Bai's little hand and prepared to leave, "Why don't you want to go, are you reluctant to let him go?" β
"Wait for Uncle Kecheng, he'll go first." The white face was expressionless, and he said in a very green voice.
Although Kecheng heard the conversation, he didn't plan to go back and explain it again, so he quickly left and disappeared into the sea of people.
At home in Kecheng, Beihua City, East Asia.
It was already late afternoon after dinner, and Kofifi and Colopin decided to go out for a walk in a nearby park. Only Kecheng and his mother Su Qinyao were left at home.
"Are you really going to continue in your father's footsteps?" Su Qinyao walked to the top of the building and said to the side of Kecheng leaning on the guardrail. Obviously, Su Qinyao already knew about Kecheng's work and identity.
"Mom, father, his death, in fact, I have always had doubts, it was found in the information I received." This is the first time that Kecheng has spoken his heart to his mother.
"You don't have to say that I also know that Kono is an SLM carrier, and he can completely react and dodge." Su Qinyao's eyes became a little low, "He actually deliberately sought death, because he provoked too many enemies, so he was afraid that those enemies would find us, so he had to exchange his own death for their revenge." β
Kecheng's pupils dilated, and he was a little reluctant to believe the truth. He always thought that his father died to save people, but he didn't expect that his father was not as great as he thought, and his father's will was only to protect his family.
He lowered his head and smiled slightly: "Father is really ridiculous. β
"Yes." Su Qinyao patted him on the shoulder and replied, "He has always been so stubborn. β
At half past 23 o'clock in the evening, Kecheng waited for a long time for the information, Haight finally sent it, and Haite also attached a message: "I didn't tell the headquarters about this matter, and you had better keep it secret, because you will understand after reading the next new information." β
"The process of artificially created SLM carriers is roughly to be artificially mated first, and after the larvae are raised, a small amount of modified seedlife virus injections are continuously carried out to produce maneuver protein, which is predicted according to the plan, and the larvae will grow to about 10 years old to produce maneuver protein independently, but the activity is not as high as that of pure species, and it is also considered that there may be no adult reasons. Artificial SLM carriers are different from those inherited from purebred, purebred carriers are more stable, artificial vitality is not strong and SLM concentration is not high, so compared with purebreds, artificial SLM carriers have only half of the purebred's ability, and only compare the data of juvenile and purebred juveniles. β
"Artificial SLM carriers theoretically live 20 years longer than normal people, 30 years less than purebred SLM carriers, and reach adulthood at the age of 20. A variety of genetic diseases may occur during the growth period, so it is necessary to have regular check-ups, and if found, gene therapy must be carried out quickly, otherwise the life expectancy will be affected. β
"Once the artificial SLM carrier program is successful, it will be mass-produced or replicated, which will be used to manipulate the motorized infantry that is difficult for ordinary people to control, and become a new powerful weapon."
After reading this batch of new materials, Kecheng felt uncomfortable, and even wanted to scold those researchers: "Life is not used as a weapon, and weapons are not just used for destruction." β
However, his words seem to be sarcastic again, because he is an SLM carrier, and he is indirectly used as a weapon.
Now Cocheng seems to understand a little bit about why his father, Kono, ended his life in that way, perhaps because he couldn't bear it all and finally had a nervous breakdown.
