Chapter 91, a flash in the pan
The fear of death has been around for a long time. From high-ranking officials and nobles, down to peddlers and pawns. From the day of the birth of human beings, death, the ultimate destination, is not something that can be escaped because of status and power. Unable to escape the constraints of death, reproduction has become another way for every life to fight against death.
After breaking through the 20 percent threshold due to the side effects of CPH4, Lucy's brain domain is developing on its own over time. As the fear and pain disappeared, all kinds of knowledge surged through her mind, and for Lucy, who had less than twenty-four hours to live, the philosophical proposition of the meaning of life came to mind for the first time.
From Mr. Zhang's memory, after obtaining the whereabouts of the other three 'drug mules', Lucy did not return to her original residence, although the efficiency of the Taiwan police is not complimentary, but a few hours ago, he did not shy away from killing people on the street, these series of evil deeds, but they were all filmed by the street surveillance. In addition, he is a foreigner, and he is particularly conspicuous in Taiwan, a place dominated by Asians, as long as the police do their best to investigate, it is only a matter of time to find out their former mediocre identity information.
'Knock knock...' In the rush of knocking on the door, a white woman wrapped in a headscarf and dripping water from her hair opened the door dissatisfied, and when she saw that it was Lucy, she first gave a hug, and then complained dissatisfiedly, "Urging?" Or are you about to pee your pants? Lucy, don't you have the key? ”
ignored the chatter of her friends, because at the moment of hugging, Lucy could clearly feel that her old friend, who also came to Taiwan from the United States to work, was in a sub-healthy state. With indulgent nightlife and irregular diet, the other party's kidneys and liver are already on the verge of disease.
"Can I borrow a computer?" Lucy said with a frown.
The other party was stunned for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I thought you were borrowing the toilet, the computer is casual, you know the computer, I won't do anything other than use it to watch movies, chat about Facebook or something" and then ignored Lucy and turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Every minute and every second, the brain domain is developing itself, and Lucy can feel that when the brain is developed to 100%, it is the end of her life, although the development of the brain domain makes Lucy have no fear and desire in human nature, and can even control the brain to avoid pain, but for her mother's nostalgia, she still wants to find a solution.
Her hands quickly swept over the keyboard, and the index of various entries wanted to find news similar to her physical condition, and she had crossed the threshold of twenty percent. After comparing the information that can be found on the ordinary Internet and finding nothing, Lucy even hacked into the databases of the CIA, the Pentagon, the Chinese Government Security Service, and Russia's Klobo, and after carefully browsing various countries, Lucy determined that her situation was unique in human history. The last article by the famous Parisian biology professor Samuel. Norman's essay on the extent to which the human brain domain is developed came into Lucy's eyes.
Far across the ocean in Paris, France, Samuel finished his day's speech. Norman took a taxi back to the hotel, and in the Western world, people have enough respect for the elite in all fields. Although Norman was a black man, his status as a biological authority made him duly respected in the white supremacy of Western society.
Carrying a briefcase and a black umbrella, Samuel. Norman walked slowly into the hotel lobby, where the international symposium on biology was held in Paris, where many of the best in the biology community had gathered. When he met a few familiar faces, the gray-haired Samuel. Norman paused and said hello.
"Professor Norman, your speech today is quite wonderful, the brain, as the most delicate part of the human body, has many unexplained problems so far, and I believe that your research direction will definitely inspire those who come after you," said Samuel. Norman's Italian biologist who gave a speech today complimented.
As the so-called peers are enemies, but the sedan chair carries hundreds of people. The research in the ivory tower was boring, like an ascetic, but Samuel, who was a black man. Norman, on the other hand, knows better how to deal with human feelings in a white supremacy Western society. Most of my papers on the development and application of the human brain domain can be said to be based on my own conjectures. The other party praised it so much, but it was because he became the first person in the field of brain domain development. Smile kindly, Samuel. Norman said slowly, "You have a good reputation, and Professor Rekas's paper on the feasibility of transplanting pig entrails into human beings has also opened my eyes."
By Samuel. Norman said his most proud masterpiece, and Rekas, a biologist from Italy, smiled knowingly, "We'll talk to each other about something another day, so let's leave."
"You please" Samuel. Norman gracefully turned around and walked towards the hotel front desk.
"Welcome back, Professor Norman," the front desk manager smiled as if he were an old friend.
In Western society, titles such as doctorate and professor are symbols of the social elite, and even some bureaucrats and wealthy people often prefer others to call themselves academic titles in their daily interactions.
Samuel. Norman nodded and said with a smile, "yes, I'm finally back, and after a whole day of speaking on the podium, this old bone is almost tired and falling apart." ”
"Oh? How about I have the waiter deliver the food directly to your room? The empathetic front desk manager asked.
"That's the best"
After dinner, when the waiter took away the dishes, Samuel. Norman took out ten euros and handed it to the other party, as an authoritative scholar in the field of biology, even in his spare time, Samuel . Norman still reads books to pass the time. Sipping gin, flipping through his papers for many years of research, Samuel with reading glasses. Norman pondered what kind of abilities the human brain would gain if it broke through the shackle of five percent.
An abrupt phone ringing interrupted Samuel. Norman's thoughts, put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the phone, and an unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Samuel. Professor Norman? ”
"It's me, who are you?"
"I read your paper on the human brain after the brain domain broke through the shackles of five percent, and your inference was almost entirely correct."
The voice of a young woman on the phone made Samuel. Norman smiled helplessly, although the life in the ivory tower is relatively pure, but there are also many people who can't stand the boring academic delusions and want to climb to the sky, many young girls can rely on their charm to catch up with an authoritative expert professor, they can participate in each other's research, if they can attach their names at the end of the paper, then it is a brilliant stroke for the future academic career.
I've heard similar things mentioned before, but I didn't expect that with the release of my paper that created the study of the human brain, this kind of thing would also fall on my head. Norman then prevaricated, "You've won the prize, it's non-working hours, if you want to know more about my academic direction, you can make an appointment with my assistant."
But the young woman on the other end of the phone didn't seem to give up, and said, "For some reason, my brain is developed to 20 percent, and then, as mentioned in your paper, once you cross the shackle of 20 percent, the brain will turn on itself over time, every minute and every second."
Samuel. Norman shook his head and smiled, he didn't expect the other party to tell such a flawed lie in order to arouse his interest, "Okay, this lady who has developed more than 20% of her brain, are you sure you're looking for me, not the editor-in-chief of a science fiction publishing house with the same name as me?" Sorry I'm going to take a break."
Just Samuel. When Norman was about to hang up, the TV that had been turned off suddenly turned on, and a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes appeared in the middle of the fifty-inch screen.
"Professor Norman, do you think I'm joking with you again?" Cold voices came from both ends of the TV and the phone.
Samuel. Norman's first instinct was that he had somehow provoked a daring hacker, and just as he was stunned, the woman on the TV said, "My name is Lucy." What kind of substance is CPH4, I believe Professor Norman's professional level should know, right? For some reason, after I ingested about 500 grams of CPH4, as mentioned in your academic paper, the most mysterious brain in the human body was immediately opened, crossing the threshold of 20% of the brain domain, and all knowledge naturally emerged in my mind, quantum physics, advanced mathematics, various functional formulas emerged, and under the infinite capacity of the nucleus, I could master various fields that ordinary people could not reach in their lifetime, and there was no fear. Without desire, I can even control my cranial nerves and abandon the sense of pain, of course, I can also do the mind moving objects and manipulating the radio waves described in the last part of your paper, but for now it is only the most basic control. ”
Stunned Samuel. As if in a dream, Norman saw the image of the woman who called herself Lucy appear on his mobile phone and notebook, and even the radio in the hotel was constantly beating the various channels.
Samuel, who took half a day to recover. Norman didn't know how to accept everything in front of him for a while, just like Ye Gong was a good dragon, when he really saw the scene he envisioned, Samuel, who was over the age of six. Norman stammered and asked, "You oh no Lucy, did you really ingest five hundred grams of CPH4?" At this dose your body doesn't."
"You're not dead, are you? Without the fear and the desires of ordinary people, I know that after ingesting a dose of 500 grams of CPH4, I have less than twenty-four hours left to live, Professor Norman, every minute and every second, I can feel that my brain is being turned on When it is turned on to 100%, it is the end of life, although there is no fear and desire, but all kinds of knowledge that emerges make me confused I want to ask you, what can I do next" Lucy asked coldly. As the brain domain continues to be developed by CPH4 as a life-burning side effect, Lucy has abandoned all kinds of emotional desires of ordinary people. With absolute sanity, all Lucy wanted was to have a meaningful time in the next twenty-four hours.
If there was some suspicion just now that some schoolgirl who wanted to hitch a ride on her made it up, when she saw the changes in all the electronic devices in the room, Samuel. Norman had taken Lucy's word for it.
Shrugged his shoulders and organized the language, Samuel. Norman laughed, "This question is as unanswerable as 'to live or to perish', but what I can tell you is that if I say that if there is a way, then pass on the knowledge in your head, human beings from birth to death is an inevitable process, but human civilization can be passed on, although everyone cannot escape the destination of death, but knowledge can be passed on forever"
Lucy, sitting in front of the computer, reminisced about Samuel. Norman's words nodded thoughtfully, "Is the transmission of knowledge of life time?" I know what to do. About twelve hours before I came back to Paris to find you."
