Chapter 8: Transhuman
In the stairwell that was not wide, Yu Yifeng spread out at full speed, acting like a ghost, climbing, jumping, and walking quickly, only to see him take three or five steps and do one step, and he could jump one floor as high as one at once. Strong physical fitness, extremely high environmental adaptability, and flexible movements that completely surpass normal humans, it is not too much to say that it is "superhuman"!
In fact, he was hiding from his teammates: Perfection had a successful case a long time ago, and that was their captain...... Yu Yifeng!
This matter is a long story, and it is not that he deliberately concealed it, but that his superiors asked him to keep it strictly confidential.
More than 20 years ago, after the initial prototype of the lunar base, the human government could not wait to carry out relevant experiments.
Perfection is a non-renewable substance, although the quantity is large, but still limited, so it is impossible to waste it on animals on a large scale, so the first experimental subjects are - human fertilized eggs!
Because the zygote is genetically identical to a human being, but it is not yet a human in the true sense of the word, it is used for experiments to reduce some moral and ethical risks. Many scientists still have professional ethics, and no one wants to do real human experiments.
Animal cells are much more complex than plant cells, especially humans, the only intelligent creatures on earth, with 46 chromosomes, more than 39,000 genes, and the mechanism of action of perfectionin is also more complex. With human technology, there is no way to get a glimpse of the mysteries, and can only be explored and studied through large-scale experiments.
In the first trial, governments screened about 100,000 fertilized eggs from human gene pools. Unfortunately, for various reasons, the first experiments all failed. At that time, the lunar base was not perfect, all kinds of technologies were not up to standard, and the mortality rate of fertilized eggs was very high.
But there are also very few successful examples, and it is strange that these fertilized eggs have been transformed into mature human cells after being modified by Perfectionin!
They lose the totipotency of the fertilized egg and can no longer divide or differentiate. The metabolic ability of these cells is very strong, and the life span is also very high, and all indicators greatly exceed those of normal people. However, after these cells are transplanted to the mother, there is still no way to divide. These fertilized eggs that cannot divide will not be able to grow into humans, and no matter how awesome they are, they are just one cell, and the experiment will naturally fail.
But the human government does not rest, but sees hope in it. Immediately afterward, they unleashed even more powerful forces, and in the second experiment, they raised millions of fertilized eggs!
Not much to say about the process, two years later, a miracle appeared, that is-Yu Yifeng! The first human to be modified by Perfection......
Along the way, Calvin's voice sounded from the nearby radio from time to time, and he didn't know whether to say it to Yu Yifeng or to himself.
"Yu Yifeng, the lucky one who stood out among the millions of fertilized eggs, the only successful case of mankind so far, can be said to be a miracle that can no longer be replicated. His cellular metabolism is three times that of the average person, his neural response speed is ten times that of the average person, and his life cycle is twenty times longer. In other words, Captain Yu Yifeng's normal lifespan is more than 1,500 years...... This astonishing example illustrates...... Perfection is effective for humans!
This is God's gift, God's favor for him, but it has triggered the greatest greed in the human world! He was either embarrassed, or emotional, or angry.
"Everyone wants to be superhuman, everyone wants 20 times the lifespan! Especially those rulers who are dying of old age, they have already taken up a lot of social resources, but they are not satisfied, they want to live longer......"
"But, after all, perfection is finite and a non-renewable product. This means that only one in 1,000 people is eligible to be a ...... Superhuman! ”
Yu Yifeng couldn't refute it, he knew this information, but he didn't think about it. The problem is so complex that most of the world's resources are concentrated in the hands of a few, as is the case in every age. But this time, the perfection element is different from money and oil, it is something that can completely change lives......
He picked up his pace and climbed to the top floor in less than two minutes.
Calvin was standing in a glass room, a tall Westerner, about forty years old, his face was red and he was very emotional, "Everyone is equal, why should they want to be in control?" Why? Why? ”
He shouted loudly, took out a controller from his arms, and roared, "Yu Yifeng, please tell me, who is the thousandth?" Who qualifies to be one in a thousand? ”
"That's ...... Remote control? An extremely bad feeling rose in his heart, Yu Yifeng secretly complained, he had dealt with Calvin, he was very paranoid, very difficult to communicate, if he accidentally detonated the bomb, then, the whole building would be finished!
The room where Calvin was was was made of special glass, and bullets could not shatter it, and it was impossible to break into it directly.
Helpless, Yu Yifeng had no choice but to ease the other party's emotions first, "Now there is no breakthrough in the application of Perfection Su, and the success rate of adults is zero!" So, don't think about this kind of problem for the time being! ”
"No, you don't understand!" Calvin shook his head, pointed in the direction of the Earth, and exclaimed, "God has made the choice for us!" Those who don't deserve perfection have been utterly ruined...... Now, we human beings are about to enter a new era! ”
"Quick, Yu Yifeng, the first superhuman, the first perfection transformer, let me see your true strength!" Calvin said, suddenly opening the glass door.
"As long as you catch me in five minutes, I'll give you this remote!"
Then, he quickly ran out of the door.
"Five minutes, only five minutes!"
Although he didn't know what Calvin was going to do, Yu Yifeng immediately rushed over and followed.
It is a 100-meter-long metal passage surrounded by corridors leading in all directions, making it very complex. Calvin has lived on the moon for five years and has long been accustomed to the environment, judging by his size, he should exercise regularly and run very quickly.
Yu Yifeng didn't dare to shoot directly, for fear that as soon as he shot, Calvin would directly detonate the bomb. He quickly chased after him.
"My speed in 100 meters on Earth is about eight seconds, far exceeding the world record, and I can run faster on the moon, so it shouldn't be a problem to catch Calvin!"
In just a few seconds, the distance between the two was shortened.
Suddenly, two iron balls appeared on the side of the hallway, each the size of a basketball. They have two eye-like electronic eyes at the forefront, which can rotate freely at 360 degrees, and around their bodies, they have eight metal legs as thick as chopsticks, like spiders.
When these two spheres saw Yu Yifeng, their electronic eyes immediately glowed red.
"It's ...... Spider Robot! ”
