Chapter 573: Millennial Man
December 20 of the Gregorian calendar on Earth in the year 2163.
In the outer military encirclement of Proxima B Eden Continent 2 Base, General Steve Smith, a young white man, with an entourage, hurriedly boarded a vertical take-off and landing business jet.
Because he patrolled the position every day and didn't like to wear a helmet, Steve's shaved head and freckled cheeks were turned red by the "sun" of Proxima Centauri.
After boarding, he rubbed the bridge of his collapsed nose as he walked to the off-white oversized airline seat closest to the door in the cabin.
At this time, behind him, "Knock! There was a loud bang on the ground, startling Steve.
When I looked back, I saw that the yellow boy, who was wearing the rank of major, fell on the boarding ladder.
Steve quickly turned around and walked over, pulled the boy up, and said, "My dear Iron Warrior, what's wrong with you?" ”
The boy stood up with Steve's support, walked into the cabin, and said, "I'm sorry General, I don't know what's going on, I had a low-grade fever in the middle of the night last night, and I haven't slept well, so..."
Steve said, "What's the matter with not checking?" ”
The young man smiled and said, "I was called by you as soon as I got up, and I didn't even eat breakfast, let alone check." ”
Steve said, "It's all my fault, then you sit down, plane server, and find the medical kit." ”
At the same time, the cabin door of the business jet had been closed, and the engine let out a roar and slowly took off vertically, heading towards Base One.
A small mechanical dog took a medical kit stored in the cabin and opened the lid, Steve took out a white box the size of a cigarette case with a red cross painted on the top of the front, walked over to the boy who was already sitting in the seat, and handed the box over.
The boy took the box, pressed a green button on the side of the box, and said, "Little nurse, please help me see why I have a fever." ”
The box said in a soft female voice, "Okay, please put any finger into the little red hole on my side." ”
Two seconds after the boy complied, the little box said: "Major, your body temperature is 37.8 degrees, but no suspicious viruses and bacteria have been found. ”
The boy scratched his head and said, "Well, thank you, little nurse." ”
After Steve sat down, he said, "Okay, give me the box, I seem to be a little uncomfortable, but I can't say what is uncomfortable." ”
The boy reached out and handed the box to the other party, and after Steve took it, he put his right index finger into the small hole in the box and said, "Little nurse, show me too." ”
Two seconds later, the box said, "The temperature is 36.8 degrees, and there are no suspicious viruses or bacteria in your blood, General." ”
Steve nodded and said, "That's good, the plane's server, let the mechanical dog send us two boxes of soaked instant noodles, I didn't eat breakfast, I guess I'm hungry." I want chicken noodles with shiitake mushrooms. ”
The major said, "I also want mushroom and chicken noodles, and I don't want to eat spicy ones." ”
After eating instant noodles, the two slept for a while and went back to sleep, and the plane arrived at the No. 3 security checkpoint at Base 1.
After the crew, Steve, Major, and the entire plane successfully passed through security, the plane took off again and entered Base One.
In Joseph Harden's office, Steve meets Joseph, a young white man, Sahu Bass, a young black man, Mike Andorra, a young white man, and David Walter, a young white man, who have returned to the quickly cloned body.
Steve had been in charge of the front-line command of the siege but not the strategy of Base 2 some time ago, so it was the first time he had seen David transfer from the marmoset body to the main body, and of course, the previous holographic video conference had made them very familiar with each other's new appearance.
Steve nodded to the people present who were also top virgins except for David, and after giving David a big hug, he said with a smile: "After a few months of silent war outside, I'm finally back." ”
David returned to the main seat by the sofa and sat down, and motioned for everyone to sit back, saying, "This time has really worked hard for you. ”
Sahu smiled and said: "It's strange that this little fat man works hard, every day he faces those invisible so-called enemies, and then sunbathes, you see, how beautiful his skin is, he is about to catch up with me." ”
Steve said, "You asked me to come back in person this time, is there anything important to discuss?" ”
Joseph rubbed his big hooked nose and said with a smile, "Isn't this preparing for Christmas and your birthday, we are going to call you back and surprise you." ”
Steve said, "Wow, you all remember my birthday." ”
Mike smiled and said, "Of course, we are a family that loves each other." ”
David said, "Speaking of surprises, aren't you curious? ”
Steve, who has no desires, said: "My pursuit of life has changed from the original vulgarity to fraternity, what can I be surprised." ”
Joseph said: "It is our cause of fraternity that has made the latest progress. ”
Steve said, "Tell me what it is?" ”
"We've cracked the longevity code in the Wooenki cell specimen that Lulu left behind," David said. ”
Steve stood up and said, "That is..."
Joseph nodded and said, "In other words, our human genes will be completely modified, and this research result is no less than every previous industrial revolution." ”
David shook his head and said: "No, it's not the Industrial Revolution, fast cloning can barely be counted, but human beings are almost immortal without the help of external forces, I think it is no less than our ancestors coming down from a tree!" ”
Mike laughed and said, "That's true. ”
Steve said, "Oh my mom, it's almost immortal, how many years is that?" ”
David said: "We extracted the secret of Wu Enji's longevity, and then used the biological pod to link it to the computer to conduct a gene splitting simulation experiment, and concluded that we can do it for a thousand years from the time a person is born naturally to the time he dies naturally!" For the sake of distinction, we refer to this race as millennials. ”
Steve said, "After a thousand years, another body, and then another thousand years, won't we humans become real gods?" ”
Joseph said, "yes, so it's not a big surprise. ”
Steve smashed his mouth and said, "Teacher David, I really want to kneel down and kiss the instep of your foot right away, so that I can express my love and admiration for you." ”
David waved his hand and said, "This is not my credit alone, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts." ”
