In September 2175 of the Gregorian calendar, a large lunar base was established, ammonia-3 was collected in large quantities, and all old nuclear power plants were shut down on the earth.

In November 2177 of the Gregorian calendar, the "intelligent biological exploration" plan was discussed and approved by the consortium at the beginning of the month, and the case was filed in the middle of the year, intending to gather global forces to build a large spacecraft near the lunar orbit.

At the end of the same month, Chen Xiansong, a natural person, sat in a private self-propelled maglev car and went to Hospital No. 10125 in the center of the city along the three-dimensional traffic pipeline. In the stereoscopic image of the car, the beautiful new human announcer is reading the manuscript paper in her hand according to the script, meticulous in good words, and rigid and dull in hard words.

Chen Xiansong listened for a while, got bored, clicked his finger on the panel a few times, and switched to another channel, which is a natural person musician, a lady named Li Hongdan, who is playing Beethoven's Symphony of Fate in Werner Square. The sound of passionate music echoed in the car, and Dong Hyun Song couldn't help but beat to the music, and at that moment, a slender jade finger reached out from the side, turning the stereoscopic image back to the news channel.

Chen Xiansong turned his head and begged, "Sister Bai, I can't listen to music?" ”

"No way!" Sister Bai, who has a girlish and beautiful appearance, looked at him gently: "Your condition is not suitable for being too emotional, you can't listen to such passionate music." As she spoke, she searched on the panel menu, and then said, "In five minutes and thirty-one seconds, Ms. Li Hongdan will also play a 'lullaby', and I suggest you listen to it." ”

Chen Xiansong said: "In five minutes, we will be at the hospital. ”

"No, it will take another six minutes and twelve seconds to reach the hospital." Sister Bai pushed the flat glasses on her nose: "You have thirty-one seconds to enjoy Ms. Chen Hongdan's lullaby." ”

New humans do not have a 'physical defect' such as myopia, and glasses are just an ornament for them. The aesthetic popularity of the new human beings comes from the natural man. Most natural people have mild or severe myopia, and they feel that natural people wear glasses and have an indescribable Sven taste, which they like very much and imitate it.

"Forget it, you don't have to listen to it, it's very boring to listen to the beginning and not the end." Chen Xiansong waved his hand, leaned back against the cushion, twisted and looked out the window, there were many high-rise buildings below, and he muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just a little burning, as for being so nervous?" ”

Sister Bai smiled: "Of course it's very important, it turns out that all serious illnesses are slowly brewed by small problems, you are a natural person, and your physical fitness is not as good as Sister Bai, I am afraid that I will get sick, and you need careful protection." ”

Chen Xiansong sighed and did not speak again.

This happens to almost every natural person. Fifty years ago, the number of natural persons was 1 in 1,000 of the total population, but now it is less than 1 in 10,000. Old natural people are dying one by one, but the birth rate of new natural people is getting lower and lower.

The reasons for this are very simple, one is that the ability of new humans is almost superhuman, more than three times higher than the learning ability of natural people, perfect physique, and fast nerve reaction speed. Every new human has the two abilities of 'eagle eye and dynamic vision' that the old century called 'eagle eye, dynamic vision'. An ordinary new human girl can run faster than a leopard and overturn an elephant with one hand, not to mention those professional soldiers and policemen who have been specially genetically strengthened and trained in a special way.

Second, the lifespan of new humans is particularly long, which can theoretically reach about 400 years old. But in essence, no new human has reached this age, because it has only been more than a hundred years since the birth of the first new human being.

Because of this, after the parents of natural persons get married, they go directly to the hospital for IVF cultivation, and then in the process of embryonic development, modify the DNA to make their children become new humans, and the children born by the combination of new humans and new humans are naturally new humans. As one eliminates the other's strengths, there are fewer and fewer natural persons. ,

Sister Bai still looks like a girl, but in fact she is seventy-eight years old, she is the sixth batch of new human beings, and her specialty type is the strengthening of the memory center and the extreme development of logical thinking. She was originally a government employee, but one night more than a decade ago, she came back late from work and heard the faint cry of a baby nearby as she passed a sewer manhole cover. After listening carefully for a while, I realized that the sound was coming from the sewer.

She lifted the manhole cover alone, climbed down the well ladder, and found a baby who had just been born, about the size of a big mouse, with an umbilical cord attached to it, and a pink body, lying naked in the filthy and foul-smelling sludge and feces, crying loudly.

New humans are more depressed and introverted in terms of feelings, but Sister Bai almost cried in distress when she saw her newborn child suffering so much. She took off her coat, helped him wipe his body, carefully picked him up, and went to prepare for the case with her underwear exposed.

After a warning investigation, the DNA was checked, and it was confirmed that this was a new human baby, and then the mother of the baby was found along the vine, a rebellious natural person girl, because of playfulness, conceived a child, and then rented a house outside to hide her family, and finally gave birth to a baby in the toilet, because of the fear of taking responsibility, she gritted her teeth and flushed the child from the toilet into the sewer.

This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and there were many comments on the Internet, because the new human beings have an extremely long lifespan, in order to prevent human beings from crowding the earth, so there is a law of birth restriction order. If you want to have a child, you must apply to the government, and there are too many applicants, and the government's birth restriction principle is: one less can have one.

The life of new humans is too long, so they can only wait for some new humans to die unexpectedly, and natural people die of old age, before they can have a chance to have children. The time for this application is slowly scheduled, usually ten or twenty years.

After finding out the cause, the police convicted the girl of attempted murder and sent her to a women's prison in the opposite hemisphere for five years, while deterring her of the right to be a mother, depriving her of parental rights, and ordering her to never see her son. As soon as the announcement was published on the Internet, 3 million applications were received in just one hour, and another 10 million applications were sent through the Internet within 24 hours.

I don't know how many new human families in Ludao are eager to have a child, even if it is not biological, it doesn't matter.

Sister Bai stood out among the thousands of troops and grabbed the custody of the child, and there was only a very simple sentence in her application form: 'The moment I picked him up, I saw the angel, he was destined to be my child. ’

This result made many people sigh in disappointment, but no one complained, and the Internet was full of messages wishing Sister Bai and her children.

The day after the custody decision, the police issued a new announcement, hoping that all websites and media would delete any reports related to the case for the sake of the child's healthy growth, and also hope that all insiders would forget about this matter. The police even forged the child's birth certificate themselves.

So Chen Xiansong has a new identity, his parents were well-known painters and musicians at that time, but during a trip, there was a car accident, and only Chen Xiansong survived. In order to prevent the child's mother from harassing the child and affecting the child's mental health after coming out of prison, Sister Bai took Chen Xiansong to a new city life, and the police took the initiative to help them cover up their identity. Sister Bai was not originally called Sister Bai, this is her name after she went to the new city.

As soon as the announcement came out, it was recognized by people all over the world. After just one night, the details of the case disappeared from all websites and media outlets, and people in the know on the Internet kept silent about the matter as if it had never happened.

The handling of this case later became a reference model for similar cases, and it was impossible not to leave a name for such a significant case, but in order to protect Chen Xiansong and Sister Bai, the judge who handled this case at that time changed all the names of the parties to the case with a stroke of the pen, the girl's name became Shu Ke, and Chen Xiansong's name became Beta.

This is the origin of the famous "Shuck and Beta" case in the legal world.

Sister Bai resigned from the government to concentrate on educating and taking care of Chen Xiansong. She did not claim to be Chen Xiansong's mother, and after the child became sensible, she told Chen Xiansong the 'truth' that the police were ready to do it, and the reason for doing so was very simple, Sister Bai is a new human being, and it is impossible to give birth to natural human offspring. A lie needs more lies to cover up, and maybe it will also expose the 'truth' set up by the police. Rather than lying, it is better to selectively 'tell the truth'. ,

In fact, Sister Bai's approach was very correct, Chen Xiansong, who was about nine years old, was indeed depressed for several days, but then he thought about it and never wanted to investigate who his real parents were.

Time passed slowly, and under the care of Sister Bai, Chen Xiantian gradually grew up, and showed a good talent in ancient calligraphy and ancient landscape painting.

Every natural person is now a treasure of humanity. The comprehensive abilities of any new human are far superior to those of a natural human being, throwing out several stars as far away, but there is an area that the superhuman new human can never touch.

Art!

The new human can play three pieces of music on the piano at the same time at a speed of 5000APM, and the new human can use a charcoal pen to trace the scene in one minute after seeing it, without any difference; New humans can sing higher scales than dolphins, but they can only 'do it', they can't put their soul into it, they can't sublimate these techniques into an art.

As a simple example, a lake, a forest. If it's a new human with a video camera, or a camera shoots it. The picture shows only a lake and a forest, with flowers and birds, but such a picture is just a picture anyway, a simple real picture.

If a natural person who is obsessed with photography skills is allowed to take pictures, then the woods and lakes in the picture seem to come to life, giving people a feeling of pleasing to the eye and living endlessly.

In other words, the new human beings are unable to integrate emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness into their works.

After more than 90 years of research on this phenomenon, the new humans have come to the conclusion that art is not generated by the information of the brain, but by the special abilities given by the higher dimensions, the soul of its own. The new humans have acquired a powerful body, but they have lost the function of communicating with their own souls, and the more the DNA is modified, the more they have no connection with art.

Fortunately, although they are unable to create art, they still retain the ability to appreciate art, for which all the new humans are very happy, otherwise, what is the difference between them and the new cyborgs.

Cyborgs are robots created by new humans with the ability to think on their own. It's not right to say that it's robots, every organ in the biochemical body is no different from a new human, flesh and blood, and the ability is also comparable to the new human, but they have a special biochemical chip in their brain, so their computing power is much stronger than that of the new human.

Cyborgs also possess feelings, but are more restrained and repressive than newer humans. It's hard to distinguish between new humans and cyborgs in terms of appearance, but it's easy to tell if you put a song played by a natural person, or a piece of work depicted by a natural person.

The new humans will react to the work of art, admiring, happy, or sad. Cyborgs, on the other hand, are unresponsive.

As a result, the new humans believe that cyborgs are also created creatures, possessed of intelligence and feelings, but without souls, so they cannot appreciate art. The same creatures that have been 'created', cyborgs have no soul and are machines, while new humans have souls and are therefore life.

This is the 'superstitious' view of the new human race.

Six minutes later, the maglev car broke away from the air pipeline and landed in front of a square. More than a dozen handsome men and women in white coats hurriedly greeted them.
