Chapter 389: Countdown to Calamity
Since the day of the supernova explosion, Professor Sun Wenrui has not slept soundly for a day, and this exhaustion has made him now in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, with red eyes like rabbits.
On the first day of the supernova explosion, an important leader of the country called his office directly, and the Ph.D. graduate of the Polytechnic University asked him what the impact of cosmic radiation on humanity and what it meant for the country.
The other party mentioned a project to study cosmic rays in Huaguo, Guizhou, where blue appeared in a tank one kilometer underground, and cosmic rays penetrated thick rock formations, producing secondary radiation in them.
Mankind's understanding of cosmic rays is like the study of cold viruses, and we have mastered a lot of them, but we don't actually know much.
All kinds of different rays and energies are enough for human beings to study for countless years, and for the damage to the human body, human beings know even less, and this celestial miracle like the Big Bang may not be understood more deeply until many years later.
"We are seeds sent into space, and this time we all have to go through a test, so be prepared for the worst. ”
Outside the atmosphere and magnetic field, are the ubiquitous cosmic rays. Seeds that come down from spaceships will take on a variety of strange shapes, some will produce larger and more productive fruits, some will produce worse yields, some will have strange plant shapes, and some will no longer sprout and grow. Scientists were interested in this reality, but no one imagined that suddenly one day, humans would become test subjects for cosmic rays.
There won't be too good results, and plant seeds can be mutated in radiation. But the more sophisticated the creatures. The greater the mutation. The former is like a tent built with a few logs, and it doesn't matter if it's built haphazardly, but the latter is a building built with building blocks, and after some of it is removed, it can collapse very much.
Professor Sun had been dreaming that he had come beyond Earth and watched the solar system in the midst of a hurricane of high-energy rays. Energetic particles hit the earth like a torrential rain, enveloping the earth and oceans in a dense rainstorm of rays! Energetic particles pass through people's bodies at unimaginable speeds. Passes through each of the cells that make up the body. The earth is spinning, all of humanity is going through a death shower, and in billions of people, the clock of death is full of strings and ticking......
"Let's pray for the existence of the gods and Buddhas, so that human beings can survive as if they had won the jackpot. ”
This was his reply to the leader, and the other party was also silent.
In the days that followed, he devoted himself to selfless work, and at the same time asked his family to buy some drugs such as Gleevec as a backup. He learned on the news that the stocks of major hospital companies continued to rise and fall. The state has approved a large number of projects for human research, and funding has never been as adequate. People in the medical and physical circles have been engaged in intense work, and several major countries have begun to cooperate in an all-round way, and confidential materials on the number of human bodies and experimental results produced by some black histories have been shared.
People heard the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, and everyone was in a race against time.
So did he.
The door of the room was pushed open, and his assistant walked into the room with his phone. The meager release of Leizi, although it was quickly deleted by Zhou Qing, was a step late, and was forwarded by the fans who followed, and it spread all at once. When Fang Wei chased Wu Yuan, he found out about this, so he called Professor Sun's assistant directly, asked him to find Professor Sun, and explained the reason.
"It's Fang Wei, what is she calling for?"
"She said there is a very, very important situation to tell you about cosmic rays. By the way, she also sent a meager address with a few pictures, saying that she would ask Professor Sun to see it first, she had experienced that wonderful thing firsthand. ”
The assistant had apparently read this Weibo and felt that the matter was serious, so he came in to interrupt Professor Sun's research.
Rubbing his somewhat sleepy eyes, Professor Sun nodded, took the phone, and opened the Weibo address.
This is a collection of pictures, the title of which is the mysterious Taoist who was diagnosed with a terminal illness in the teahouse. Below is a brief text that tells the story.
Among the seven people, Professor Sun saw Fang Wei, but he paid more attention to Wu Yuan in a Taoist robe.
The study of genetics has made Professor Sun an authority on the human body. At first glance, Professor Sun felt that Wu Yuan was very unusual, and a person's appearance and physical signs had a strong correlation with his surroundings. Wu Yuan's spirit, muscle structure, etc., are very good, and liars can deceive ordinary people, but just like Zhou Qing said, how could a Taoist priest like Wu Yuan, who looks like a master of Taoism, tell such a very stupid lie?
Fang Wei also sent a few photos over, it is a photo of the Taoist priest, this is not those compressed photos on Weibo, it is very clear, and the pixel is also very high, I opened it just now and took a look, and found that on the face of this Taoist, I can't see that there are acne, blackheads, scars and other things that young people often have, smooth and meticulous people can't believe it. ”
The assistant uploaded the photo to the tablet, opened it and enlarged it, and sure enough, no flaws were found, and Wu Yuan's skin was like jade, exuding a healthy glow.
"Call Fang Wei and ask her to invite that person over, I want to see him. ”
Fang Wei said, that person is gone, and she is chasing. ”
=============
Fang Wei's hand grabbed Wu Yuan very tightly, she didn't care that she was a woman at all, even when her phone rang, she didn't answer, she just grabbed Wu Yuan tightly. She had to do this, when Wu Yuan left just now, everyone wanted to block Wu Yuan, but found that this person was slippery like a fish, and he couldn't stop it at all.
"Fang Wei, why are you here? Is this Daoist your boyfriend?"
On the side of the road, where the two of them were, there was a place to relax, and it was a woman with a supple face who sat behind her, led by about twenty children, all carrying musical instrument bags.
"Teacher Wang, this is ......"
Fang Wei wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to explain it, she hugged a man on the street, holding her arms and her chest, no matter how she looked at it, she looked like a couple.
"I have some misunderstanding with Miss Fang, and it has been resolved, Mr. Wang, are these your students?"
"Well, there will be a show later, in the theater opposite, Fang Wei, if you are interested, come over with this Taoist leader to have a look, the child's family has chartered the theater, and does not charge money, is this Taoist interested in musical instruments?"
"One thing, children, come here, I'll take a look at the pulse for you, Poor Dao is the one hundred and twenty-third generation of Heavenly Master Sect Heavenly Master, if you are favored by this Heavenly Master, you will have martial arts cheats to give away. ”
"Really?"
A little boy hurriedly raised his hand, indicating that he was the first willing to test.
"Stupid, this is a line in kung fu, this uncle, I want to learn the Divine Palm, can I?"
The other boy lifted the glasses on his face and said in a very solemn tone.
"This Taoist, the children will perform later, you ......"
"It doesn't matter, I'm fast, I won't delay everyone's time. ”
Wu Yuan stretched out his hand and began to take the pulse of the children one by one, his speed was very fast, staying on each child's wrist for less than a minute.
Everyone thought this was a game, only Fang Wei was very nervous, she hugged Wu Yuan's arm just now, but she didn't expect that the other party would get rid of her shackles with a light mention, how to say it, just like in a martial arts novel, the other party's true anger was shocked, she was like catching a live fish, and then she couldn't grasp it.
"Little brother, how old are you?"
"Nine years old. ”
"Little brother, what about you?"
"Thirteen years old. ”
"Little sister, how old are you, what is your birthday?"
"Twelve years old, birthday not to you. ”
Fang Wei nervously watched Wu Yuan take the pulse of one child after another, but this time she couldn't see any expression on Wu Yuan's face, fifteen minutes later, when Teacher Wang's patience was about to run out, Wu Yuan's pulse was finally over.
"Uncle, do we have one that meets your requirements for accepting apprentices?"
It was the child with glasses who spoke, Wu Yuan sighed slightly, and said: "Poor Dao accepts apprentices, you can't be more than twelve years old, it's a pity, among you, no one has a relationship with Poor Dao." ”
At this time, the time for the show was up, and Mr. Wang took the children across the street
"This Dao Master, what is the result of your diagnosis?"
Fang Wei only felt that his voice was very stiff, and Wu Yuan's face was not happy.
"Children over the age of twelve, like you, have suffered a lot of damage, and even the youngest children, it seems that the situation can be better, and their situation will have to be observed. ”
Sure enough, it was the era of supernova, when Wu Yuan was in his hometown of Earth, he read this book, Liu Cixin's work, one day at the end of 1999, a supernova located in the constellation Auriga suddenly exploded. Due to the proximity to the supernova, the intense radiation caused widespread radiation sickness in humans, and humans began to die in large numbers. It has also been found that children, especially those under the age of 12, have mild or no symptoms. Later, it was learned that this was related to the autonomic repair function of genes, and the older you get, the worse this function becomes. Optimistic estimates are that in 10 months to 1 year, people over the age of 13 will gradually die on the planet.
As a result, during the year-long "Great Study", adults all over the world are desperately trying to teach these children who are still ignorant of the knowledge and experience they have mastered all their lives.
In that book, people found out that there was something wrong with the chromosomes and genes in the body a month or so, so they started a general mobilization, and it is now the tenth day after the supernova explosion, and scientists have not found genetic damage. But I believe that it will not be long before this terrible fact will be discovered.
It would be nice if it was a supernova era, but ......
Wu Yuan walked through the world created by Buddhism, and knew how strangely different the changed history was, and this world was likely to be different.
"This Dao Master, my mentor, wants to talk to you, can I?"
Fang Wei handed the phone to Wu Yuan with an expectant look. (To be continued......)
