Chapter 82: The Chosen One
Ye Dongming smiled naturally, it seemed to have a hint of mystery, which was unpredictable.
"As I said earlier, these are my thoughts, don't worry about it, forget it. I am a beneficiary of 'genetic modification' and believe that this is definitely human progress. ”
After Ye Dongming finished speaking, he nodded firmly.
Xu Shan was not a sentimental person in the first place, and he had long been accustomed to Ye Dong's idea of being free tomorrow, and it didn't take long for the haze in his heart to be swept away.
He believes that "genetic modification" is the way out for humanity. Just imagine what a creation it would be when human beings no longer fear any disease, when human beings can have an infinite lifespan!
……
At this time, countless voices suddenly surged in Ye Dongming's mind, this kind of voice was very strange, many but not chaotic, and penetrated the entire thinking. Slowly, his head began to mess up, and all kinds of sounds mixed together, and his head felt like it was about to explode.
At this moment, a faint voice slowly sounded, and gradually amplified to the point that it drowned out all the voices: "You are the chosen one!" ”
Xu Shan quickly downplayed Ye Dongming's remarks, although they still came to mind sometimes, they were already insignificant. With the acceleration of the "genetic modification" process, he was gradually left behind.
Ye Dongming is changing every day, in a form that others can't see but can be perceived, and the most intuitive one is thinking. He himself knew this very well, because his views on many things had changed.
And, strangely, he was able to point out the weakness of something, but he couldn't understand why he had such a "wise" vision.
Sometimes, he is thinking about something, but he doesn't realize why he thinks about it, and only after a while does he recall what just happened. This made him puzzled, yet he was happy to do so at the same time as he was puzzled.
He knew that when something like this happened, it must have something to do with the voice before him - you are the chosen one.
Who was I chosen?
Why was it chosen?
Who are they and what is their purpose?
Aliens?
……
One question after another came to his mind, and the more he tried to figure it out, the more he couldn't figure it out, and that voice never appeared again. Even so, he has begun to realize that change is coming.
Just when Ye Dongming was trying to figure out his situation, Zhang Tianlin took the initiative to find him. First asked him about his physical condition, and then asked him a strange question.
"Dongming, do you think your thinking has changed compared to before?"
Ye Dongming didn't know his intentions, so naturally he wouldn't tell the truth.
"Yes."
"What's changed?" Zhang Tianlin asked expectantly.
"Hehe, I feel more optimistic than ever."
Zhang Tianlin was disappointed in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is very good, besides, are there any more alternative ideas?" ”
"What do you mean ......"
"For example, if you suddenly feel inspired about something, or you are more focused, or you forget what you wanted to do in the first place."
Ye Dongming shook his head.
The smile on Zhang Tianlin's face disappeared, and just when he was disheartened, Ye Dongming said again: "However, I think I have a more thorough understanding of genetics recently. ”
"Oh, I'd like to hear about it." Zhang Tianlin said, "I don't mind going into details." ”
"Why, I just need your correction."
"Dean, may I ask you a question first?"
"You say."
"What do you think the future holds for genetics?"
"The question is broad." Zhang Tianlin said, "The application of genetics is very extensive, and it will enter all aspects of human life in the future, so its prospects are very optimistic." ”
After hearing this, Ye Dongming smiled noncommittally.
"What, you don't agree?" Zhang Tianlin asked suspiciously.
"You're talking about the positives, doesn't it have a negative impact?"
Zhang Tianlin slowly stood up and walked around the room, a habit he had developed in recent years. In his own words, walking is good for thinking.
"Of course not," he said, "if not strictly controlled, the negative effects of genetic abuse outweigh the positives, and even endanger the entire human race." ”
"You're right, that's what I'm trying to say." Ye Dongming said lightly.
"Really?"
Zhang Tianlin didn't believe that he would have such insight, but he still politely motioned for him to continue.
"You may not believe it, after all, I have only just been introduced to genetics, how can I have such insight?" After Ye Dongming finished speaking, he looked at him in a daze.
Zhang Tianlin's mind was actually said by him, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural, so he used an embarrassing smile to cover it up.
"Actually, I've been having an idea lately, and it's been bothering me for a long time, and I haven't gotten an answer. I once mentioned it to Professor Xu, and his answer helped me a lot, but it did not fundamentally solve my doubts. ”
"Then I'd like to hear about it."
"As you said," Ye said, "genetics is of great significance to mankind, both in terms of development prospects and in terms of its application. But I think it's a study that's beyond human control. ”
Zhang Tianlin was a little surprised, but more puzzled.
"What do you mean by control?" He asked, "Is it from humanity itself, or from something unknown?" ”
At this time, Ye Dongming suddenly looked at him and smiled, it was originally a simple and natural smile, but in Zhang Tianlin's opinion, it was so out of place.
"It's a bit of both, so to speak." Ye Dongming said, "I'll start by talking about 'unknown things'. In my words, it's the inability to predict what genetics will ultimately bring to humanity. ”
"You're right, science can't predict, it can only be verified."
"I agree with you, but I see genetics as an exception."
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Tianlin asked.
"Because genetics doesn't need to be verified," Mr. Ye said, "it ultimately brings only one result to humanity." ”
"What?"
"Humans are no longer human."
Like Xu Shan, Zhang Tianlin was extremely shocked by his remarks, but the difference was that he did not ignore them like Xu Shan, but thought deeply about this issue.
In his view, no one knows what kind of end human beings will go to, and the end of life is only death, so no one will think about the final fate of human beings.
"No one can leave this world alive."
It seems to be a joke, but it speaks to the root of life. However, if human beings can live forever, then they have to think about their ultimate destiny.
Now, Ye Dongming put forward this conclusion - human beings are no longer human beings, so what is it? Monsters, mutants, or some other "thing"
