Chapter 2 Zhang Shuang
Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that he must have stolen God's dog in his previous life, so he would be so played by fate in this life.
His impression of his mother was just a photograph and his father's repetition of a few words: "Your mother is a very good person! Your mother is a very virtuous person."
When Zhang Xiaoqiang was 7 years old, when his father went to help a relative build a house, he accidentally fell off the roof and was sent to the township health center. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang's cousin, Zhang Chenggui, dragged his father back from the health center.
Although he was young at the time, Zhang Xiaoqiang also remembered a few cousins muttering in his own hall. Later, Zhang Xiaoqiang's maternal uncle came over, and he saw his cousin Zhang Chenggui patting his chest and telling his maternal uncle that he would raise him to grow up, and the always spicy cousin sat on the ground and cried, while his cousin's own brother stepped forward and grabbed his maternal uncle and quietly handed over a bag of things and whispered. After that, he never saw his uncle again.
His father, Zhang Chengfu, lay in his bed for three days before he breathed, and he didn't eat a mouthful of food or drink a drop of water halfway. The young Zhang Xiaoqiang once wanted to feed his father saliva, but was slapped to the ground by the cousin next to him. The woman also told him viciously that his father was sick and could not eat or drink.
When his father was dying, he took Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand, his mouth squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but until he died, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't hear what his father said.
Zhang Xiaoqiang became an orphan and lived in his cousin Zhang Changgui's house, while his own home became the warehouse of his cousin's family. Since then, Zhang Xiaoqiang has eaten leftovers, and it is common for him to be beaten and scolded. His cousin is still talking around the village about what kind of broom star he is, Ke Ma Ke Dad, and whoever touches him is unlucky. The people in the village were superstitious, so they began to alienate him and did not let the children play with him.
Until Zhang Xiaoqiang graduated from junior high school, a contractor in the township took a job outside and came to the village to recruit people. Zhang Xiaoqiang and a few bachelors in the village followed.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoqiang glanced at his uncle's house, and there seemed to be a flame in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaoqiang has worked as a migrant worker, learned to help cook, swept the road, and delivered couriers. The hardships since he was a child have endowed him with the quality of tenacity and hard work, even if he is blinded by others, he can spit on himself, and he has saved some savings over the years.
Just when he was looking forward to doing a career in the future and then retaliating against Zhang Chenggui's family, disaster fell from the sky, a falling object hit his cervical vertebrae, and the doctor diagnosed high paraplegia, irreversible.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was admitted to the hospital, and the high cost of treatment quickly drained his limited savings. As for compensation, it has been almost 4 months since the police failed to find the person responsible.
Just when Zhang Xiaoqiang was desperate, the director of the hospital told him that a foreign medical institution was recruiting clinical trialists for neuroreconstruction. If he agrees, he will receive free treatment from the institution, a high chance of recovering his health, and a substantial amount of compensation.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not hesitate and immediately signed. Soon, he was taken to this medical institution abroad and began to receive treatment.
And today, it's the day of the operation.
"Mr. Zhang, you seem to be in good shape," Dr. Morris said, flipping through the tablet in his hand.
"Doctor, I'm a little nervous, will the operation fail?" Zhang Xiaoqiang looked a little dignified.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Zhang. You're in the worst situation now, and it can't be worse." Morris shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively.
"Oh, by the way, there's bad news for you. Maybe it will make you less scared. Morris looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang meaningfully.
"Your cousin Zhang Chenggui illegally manufactured explosives, which caused an explosion accident, and six members of his family were killed, and there were no survivors. ”
"You... Are you sure?" Zhang Xiaoqiang stammered a little in shock.
Since he became sensible, Zhang Xiaoqiang has fantasized countless times about how to take revenge on Zhang Chenggui's family, but this sudden news still made him a little at a loss.
Dr. Morris showed the flat-panel monitor in his hand in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, and the picture in the monitor was the place that made him fearful, hateful, but extremely familiar, but now it was a tragic scene after the explosion.
Morris patted Zhang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, turned around and walked out. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was left with a blank brain, lay alone on the operating table.
Morris moved to the monitoring room in the operating room, looked at an assistant who was watching the computer monitor, and asked, "Has the subject's thinking speed slowed down?"
"It's incredible, without the use of drugs and artificial hypnosis, the subject's thinking speed is minimized! His brain seems to be in a state of stagnation!" exclaimed the assistant.
"Quickly adjust the wavelength of the human-computer interaction instrument to synchronize with the brainwaves of the test subject, and prepare to connect to the interaction system. There was a glint of excitement in Morris's eyes, and this was a good start.
As long as the human-computer interaction system is successfully connected, the interactor will take over most of the functions of the subject's brain, and generate a new functional area in the idle area of the subject's brain according to the pre-programmed program and activate it. This functional area will have preset functions, assist memory, strengthen perception, import skills, form a digital interface in the visual area, etc., which is the real X-3 chip, the new functional area of the human brain.
Next, the newly generated functional area will activate the brain memory area under the control of the interlocutor, and read all the memories, emotions, cognitions, and feelings of the subject from the fetus to the present, and write them into another blank brain in chronological order, the brain of the clone.
Eventually, the subject will be reborn in the clone.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to be in a dream, and the memories of the past in the dream reappeared one by one like a movie.
He saw a woman smiling lovingly at him even though she was dying, and several people wearing masks and green surgical gowns were resuscitating her, it was his mother. It turned out that he had also met his own mother, when he was just born.
He wept bitterly as he saw his father holding the baby, a man who had just become a father and had lost his wife.
He watched himself grow day by day, from baby to babbling toddler, stumbling to learn to walk, and his father was always by his side.
He saw that after he was taken to the hospital by the teacher, he saw his seriously injured father, panicked, sad, sad, scared, and he cried while shaking his father's arm and kept asking, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
He saw that when he tried to feed his father who was paralyzed in bed, he was slapped to the ground by the vicious woman.
He saw that his father had been trying to say this to him before he died, although his voice was so low that he couldn't hear it, but at this time, he saw his father's mouth clearly, and he kept repeating a sentence: Live well and live like a person!
When he saw that he was being abused by his cousin's family, he secretly vowed to take revenge on his cousin's family in the future and make them kneel in front of their parents' graves and kowtow to make amends.
He saw that he was getting paid for the first time, and he jumped and jumped with joy.
He saw that he was injured and unconscious, and when he woke up in the hospital, the doctor told him that he was a paraplegic, and the emotions of fear and despair gripped him tightly, and he couldn't help but cry.
"The subject's memories are being extracted, and past memories cause the subject's emotions to fluctuate greatly. Sir, are you sedated the subject?" one of the monitors looked at the curve jumping up and down with some unease.
"No, these emotions are also an important part of the transfer that needs to be transferred. We can't intervene!" Morris said solemnly and nonchalantly.
"Warning, warning, clone brain cells are dying! Clone brain cells are dying!" a shrill siren came from the speaker.
"How could it be that there is something wrong with the clones!?how could this be??Quickly check!What the hell is going on?" Morris yelled anxiously at a group of chickens and dogs jumping scientific assistants.
"Dr. Morris, here's a discovery! In addition to the memories and mood swings of the test subject, the clone has just received countless perceptual data, including taste, hearing, touch, vision, etc., of which there are more than four million pieces of taste perception information alone. The scientific assistant who monitored the clones opened the monitoring interface tremblingly.
"Clone is brain dead!Test failed!"
"How so? Shouldn't this redundant information be cleared by the human-computer interaction device first?" Morris felt like crazy, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
"Mr. Morris, a second before the experiment began, two pieces of code were written into the interchanger, one code hindered the operation of the redundant information removal program and simultaneously uploaded all the information to the headquarters host while writing it to the clone brain!"
"The King's Artificial Intelligence at HQ, does it want to be human?!" Morris gasped.
"The clone is brain dead, all of the subject's memories have been extracted and cannot be recovered, and the subject is in a vegetative state. The experiment failed!Self-destruct program initiated!" The icy and frantic electronic sound filled the entire surveillance room.
"3 seconds left, 3, 2, 1, start!"
A huge explosion came as expected, destroying everything and leaving no chance for the people of the base to pass on the message.
Where am I? Why is it pitch black? Has the treatment failed? Instead of repairing my nerves, my brain has been damaged, and I can't see light, hear sounds, smell or feel temperature? No, my whole body is gone! What should I do?
Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to cry, if he could still cry.
"I want to live! I want to live like a person!" Zhang Xiaoqiang roared silently, the huge obsession seemed to make him start to drift upward, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a point of light above, he moved up excitedly, trying to get closer and see some clearly.
Why is it so slow? Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to be faster, faster, the endless darkness almost drove him crazy, even if that point of light was a man-eating ghost, he had to go over. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally understood what it meant to be a moth to a fire.
How can it be fast, Zhang Xiaoqiang thought of throwing things. There were really things that he had thrown away, and he had given up a mess of information and data. So, he became lighter. The white light began to draw him in, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up and there was color. There was air between the mouth and nose, and there was a voice in the ears.
"Lord Baron, wake up!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang just wanted to see more clearly and listen carefully, but countless broken pictures and disordered human words overwhelmed his consciousness.
This was Zhang Xiaoqiang's last thought before he fell into a coma.
