A.D. 4044.

FBL Biochemical Company, inside the biological laboratory.

Click......

A chimpanzee sits at a table with electrodes stuck in its head and is rapidly moving the discs on three columns.

This is a puzzle game called the Tower of Hanoi, where only one disc can be moved at a time, and only small discs can be placed on large discs, and all discs are moved from one pillar to another.

It's not easy for even a human to do it!

However, the chimpanzee's eyes were bright and bright, revealing a strange dark blue, and his hands kept moving, and it only took more than ten seconds to move all the discs.

It cocked its scissor hands, grinned smugly with its yellow teeth, picked up a grape from the fruit bowl on the table and threw it into its mouth, then grabbed the Rubik's Cube next to it and spun it......

"Caesar, three years old, injected with T-cell solution for one month, completed the Tower of Hanoi test in 15 steps, has an intelligence index of 101, and already has quite high emotional communication skills." Through the glass window, a young man in a white lab coat waved at the chimpanzee in appreciation, reading as he recorded in the log book.

He was in his early twenties, with a long build, black-rimmed glasses, and a handsome face.

"15 steps! It only took 15 steps! More than 100 intelligence! Haozi, we've made it! There was an excited shout from the side, and a fellow, who was half a head taller than the young man, slapped him the shoulder.

This tall, muscular guy is named Luo Zhi, and he is the second person in charge of FBL, the largest biochemical company in the empire; The handsome young man next to him with a long body and black-rimmed glasses was named Fang Hao, who was the number one person in charge of FBL.

The top-secret genetic experiment that the two are currently conducting is called the "super brain gene" experiment, after three years of countless failures, a breakthrough has finally been made, and the intelligence of the chimpanzee has surged from only 30 to 101 after a month of injection of T cell solution, which is a subversive breakthrough, no wonder Luo Zhi, the second person in charge, is so excited.

Fang Hao rubbed his shoulders, glanced at the other party, and frowned: "Luo Zhi, not everyone likes to practice martial arts as much as you, my body board will fall apart if you beat it twice like this." ”

Luo Zhi smiled: "Fang Hao, it's not me talking about you, now that genetically strengthened flesh is so popular, many people are cultivating martial arts, why don't you strengthen it because of the eldest young master of your dignified Fang family?" ”

"Not interested." Fang Hao pushed his glasses and continued to write a summary of the experiment in the record book with an indifferent face.

"Weirdos!" Luo Zhi shrugged his shoulders, now is the era of gene enhancement, as long as an ordinary person takes a few gene enhancement liquids, he can immediately gain a strong physique and cultivate martial arts, he is keen on this way, I really can't understand why Fang Hao, a nerd, is not interested in martial arts?

What's more, now that the superbrain gene has made a great breakthrough, if it is applied to the human body, how much will the brain domain of a martial artist be enhanced? It's exciting to think about!

"Hey! Don't be in a daze, go see the brainwave machine. Fang Hao tapped the notebook with a pen.

Luo Zhi came back to his senses, hurriedly went to look at the brainwave instrument monitored on the side, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, pointing to the active waveform on the top, "Hey! Haozi, you see, this brainwave detection index has also reached the standard, and you can conduct human experiments next, right? ”

Fang Hao frowned, T cells are a new type of gene that can promote the rapid growth of neurons in the brain, he cultivated it a few years ago, and has only carried out hundreds of animal experiments so far, and it has been a failure in the early stage, T cells will be rejected by the animal brain and become abnormal proliferative tissue similar to tumors.

He could not forget the pain of the dead animals, not fall into madness and desperately hit the cage with his head; Or the head is blown apart by the fast-growing and uncontrolled T cells.

At one point, he thought he would not succeed, as if it were a forbidden area designated by God, and any attempt to step into this forbidden area would be cursed, until he discovered that irradiating T cells and test cells with gamma rays could promote the fusion of the two, which solved the problem of rejection.

"Wait! T cells are so active that there are unforeseen risks associated with rushing human experiments. ”

"Nope! I don't think so! Luo Zhi waved his thick arms and said loudly: "Think about it! T cells can increase chimpanzee intelligence by 30%, if how much can it be improved in humans? 50%？ 70%？ Or even 100%? How many Newtons and Einsteins will we make! ”

"And what! I heard that the military is very interested in our experiments, and promised to send 100 volunteer soldiers to cooperate with us to carry out human experiments, and with an investment of 10 billion imperial coins, super soldiers will be born under our hands......"

The more Luo Zhi spoke, the more excited he became, and he kept waving his arms.

Fang Hao's face sank, and there seemed to be countless soldiers holding their heads in their hands in front of him, slamming against the wall in pain, and the next moment their heads bloomed, and they all died from the abnormal proliferation of T cells.

"Nope! I disagree! He shook his head vigorously, his gaze sharpened, "Luo Zhi, don't forget the original intention of the three of us to create FBL!" Genetic technology is equivalent to Pandora's box, once opened, once it is applied to the military field, the development of the human world will fall into an uncontrollable huge crisis! ”

Luo Zhi was stunned, and three figures from many years ago flashed in front of him, standing together on the mountain behind the school, standing in a row hand in hand, looking up at the starry sky, and vowing to contribute to biotechnology in this life, to make the future of mankind better, and never set foot in the military field......

A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed: "You guy is still so stubborn!" Okay, I'm just kidding you, if you don't agree, who dares to contact the military? ”

Fang Hao wanted to say something, but Luo Zhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay!" Bridegroom, hurry back and rest! You seem to have forgotten that tomorrow is the day of your wedding, and you and Bai Ling are finally going to achieve positive results. ”

"Ahh You don't say I almost forgot! Fang Hao slapped his head and smiled dumbly.

"Haha, I don't know your kid's virtue yet? As soon as I got to work, my parents didn't remember! Luo Zhi smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go!" Leave it to me, I'll send Caesar back, and I'll go back. ”

Seeing Fang Hao's back disappear at the end of the corridor, the smile on Luo Zhi's face suddenly disappeared, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and said in a low voice: "He doesn't agree, so he can only go according to Plan B." ”

After a pause, he added: "Promise me that you must ensure his safety and never hurt him." ”

Luo Zhi didn't notice that Caesar the chimpanzee put the six-sided Rubik's Cube on the table, raised his head and glanced at him, with a trace of sadness in his blue eyes.

******

Fang Hao drove out of the building with a hydrogen-powered hovertruck, shuttling in the three-dimensional lane, heading in the direction of his home.

It's 10 o'clock at night, and there are lights everywhere, illuminating the city at night.

The argument just now made him feel tired, so he easily adjusted the driving of the hovercar to automatic, adjusted the seat to half reclining, and looked at the night city with his head in his hands.

Everywhere you look, there are dense and tall laser billboards, including spray-painted wall advertisements, 90% of which are propaganda about Fangjia's industry——

"Do you want to have the same toned physique as an Iron Warrior? Want to say goodbye to all diseases? Want to become a heartthrob right away? Please don't hesitate to buy FBL's latest genetic product - Health Beauty Peptide Enzyme. ”

"Say goodbye to wheelchairs, crutches, and cold mechanical prosthetics forever, FBL pure biological prosthetics are the best choice for you."

"The 100-meter championship belongs to you, the marathon championship belongs to you, and the pentathlon and decathlon are all pieces of cake, as long as you choose FBL to activate the human body's potential to activate gene proteins."

"The strongest military mecha of the Ark brand is on the market, the promotional price is only 1 million imperial coins, and the down payment of 100,000 will drive home immediately!"

……

This is the year 4044 A.D., the Age of Genes.

2,000 years ago, Fang Hao, the ancestor of the Fang family, the geek of the same name, broke the secret of human genetic encoding, which triggered a genetic revolution that changed the course of human civilization.

Up to now, the Fang family has controlled 90% of the imperial gene industry, penetrating almost every aspect of human society.

Fang Hao's grandfather, Fang Xiong, is the founder of the empire's largest weapons manufacturing company "Ark", leading the trend of the times in biochemical weapons research, such as Fang's biological mecha research, non-human gene grafting, individual soldier gene enhancement liquid, and so on.

His father, Fang Zhibai, is the supreme commander and head of the weapons laboratory of the Empire's newest aircraft carrier, the Starbattler, the Advance.

Fang Hao himself is a top student of the Empire's highest university - Imperial University, specializing in biological gene coding, five years ago with his girlfriend Bai Ling and friend Luo Zhi founded FBL Biotechnology Company, and now produces a variety of very popular civilian biological products.

With this army, business, and technology companies, some people joked that if the grandfather and grandson of the Fang family were willing, they could even join forces to buy half of the empire, plus the warship power that Fang Zhibai mastered, it would not be difficult to run to any uninhabited star field to establish an independent kingdom.

Looking at this dazzling neon world, Fang Hao remembered this joking and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The current Fang family tree is very popular, I hope not to be coerced by the military, and it will be difficult to ride a tiger." ”

Suddenly, a shouting voice from outside the car attracted his attention—

"Serious protest against the military's invasion of the Gamma system! It destroys the peace of mankind and brings us war! ”

"Seriously condemn the Fang family for cooperating with the military and becoming a lackey of the military!"

……

As soon as I looked at it, I saw a large crowd gathered in a square, lines of large characters typed out on a huge screen, and a speaker shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.

His face changed, since the military invaded the Gamma Galaxy three years ago, such popular protests had intensified, and today he actually saw that some people began to condemn the Fang family's involvement.

"Not good! On the cusp of such a storm, my grandfather and father were dispatched by the military to drive the Starship Advance to that place......"

He was faintly uneasy, but immediately raised his eyebrows: "I can't interfere with the choice of grandpa and father, I can only do a good job in the civilian field, as long as the superbrain gene is successfully developed, it will definitely be able to wash away the negative impression of the people on my family!" ”

Step on the accelerator and drive away quickly in a hydrogen-powered car.
