Chapter 17 Jack's Past
4692 May 15, 4692, the quiet star field
"I really don't know that you are the president of the Federal Academy of Sciences. You hide deeply enough." Old Jack and Bai Yu took Samson's ship to the Alpha Galaxy, waiting for the Federal Academy of Sciences to receive and receive new warships respectively, and it was only midnight.
"Well, the dean has been changed for 23 years. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I just forgot everything that happened so long ago, after all, I'm old." Old Jack explained.
"It's quite a glorious thing, why forget it? If I were me, I would remember it for life." Bai Yu joked: "Just stop doing any research, it's good to cheat food and drink with this name, haha."
"Oh, that's right, I really never thought about it. Old man, he has a small appetite, so I'm afraid he can't cheat much, haha." Old Jack joked: "If you said that, maybe you want to forget those fame and fortune."
Samson was shocked after hearing this, and turned around and looked at Bai Yu and Old Jack who were sitting behind the bench. Fortunately, they both looked like joking.
"How could it be? You are the chief scientist who invented the Cloning technology. The dream of immortality has been completely realized by you. How great is it." Bai Yu said with a smile.
"Ha, now it seems, yes, it was definitely not at that time." Old Jack said, "You know that humans dream of immortality, and that is ultimately a kind of possessiveness that is causing trouble. They don't want to give up what they have. Whether it is material or spiritual, people who are truly without desires will not be afraid of death."
[Oh, Old Jack Class is about to start...] Ola sarcastically in the brainstem plug, and then got slapped Bai Yu, but Bai Yu completely forgot that he was slapped in the head and grinned in pain.
"So, humans have never given up the idea of immortality in history. Therefore, human science can continue to improve. For immortality, humans continue to develop medicine. For immortality, humans research more advanced weapons to kill enemies to protect themselves. I remember that scientists even wanted to decipher human genetic maps a long time ago, but later, a large number of serious sequelae were produced. The result is really ironic. Those who want to live forever and never die after receiving genetic improvement were extremely painful, and they only wanted to die happily. Hum, it is a great irony." Old Jack obviously did not notice Bai Yu and Ola's small movements, and continued to immerse themselves in memories.
"Genetic improvement, I have heard of it. Some people have become freaks after improvement. The better is that they have become photosynthetic people who can accept the sun without eating. The more miserable ones are like those feathered men, amphibious men, and disguised men..." Bai Yu didn't say it. It was a bloody history in the history of science. Several scientists from the Emma Empire claimed that they had cracked the genetic map of human beings and successfully gave some prisoners an ability that humans could not have through genetic improvement. There were several of the most impressive impressions, and some people had a pair of 4
The rice-long wings can soar in the sky like birds. Some people grow gills like fish and breathe with their gills and lungs at the same time. Some people can simulate the surrounding environment through their skin and become almost "invisible", etc. Not only do they have superpowers, but their lifespan is greatly improved. More and more people are receiving improvements. They begin to call themselves "new humans". Everyone is immersed in incomparable joy. Immortality and possession of superpowers become within reach. However, later those who have received genetic improvement committed suicide without exception.
"Yes, but those photosynthetics ended up not much better. Because they didn't need to eat for a long time, their gastrointestinal function quickly deteriorated. When they found that they were malnourished, it was too late. The bones of the feathers mutated violently in the later stages, and the bones mutated into a mesh, which made them lose weight, and in the end they could not even bear the contraction and expansion of their muscles. They could hear the sound of their fractures in every move. Amphibians are quite successful, but they cannot leave the water source for a long time, otherwise
The cheeks will crack and fall off, and the pain will be unbearable, which will eventually lead to severe respiratory infections. Those who pretend to be humans have severe mutated blood cells and have strange blood diseases. Some of their own red blood cells cannot deliver enough oxygen to the brain and the body, and die of hypoxia. When they wanted to reverse the gene and reduce it, they failed, so the genetic improvement was later called the "the bloodiest scam in the history of science." Even in Emma, anyone who wanted to continue to study genetic improvement
Scientists, without exception, were reported by the people and sent to the religious court, and were sentenced to be burned alive as heretics. You know that science and religion are like brothers with opposite personalities and coexisting for a long time, one has changed and the other has declined. At that time, people treated scientists like people now. "Old Jack said carefully: "And our Cloning technology was completely coincidental. The purpose at that time was just to deal with cancer. You know, cancer cannot be cured well until now, and
It is the old method of high-temperature steaming to kill cancer cells or radiation killing. So we proposed to use clonal cords to cultivate organs that are completely unrejectable for transplantation to replace cancerous organs. It had achieved considerable success at that time, but there was a cancer that still had no solution." Jack pointed to his head with his finger: "Brain cancer, and most cancers happen to spread to the brain, so we proposed a crazy idea, brain replacement."
"My God, I can imagine how to change my brain with my heart, liver, lungs, or a few pieces of intestines. What's the difference between changing people?" Bai Yu said in surprise.
"Yes, the question is not how to change the brain, the theory and technology are fully mature, but how to remember people's memory, consciousness and even... According to religion at that time, that word was... hey, it was right next to the mouth." Old Jack couldn't remember it.
"Soul, my Academy of Sciences, you haven't gone to church to confess for many years." Samson laughed, but in fact he didn't go there himself.
"Hmph, the former president of the Academy of Sciences went to the church and confessed that I would rather be burned to death by them." Old Jack said disdainfully, and then continued to say to Bai Yu: "Yes, soul, after continuous research and experimentation, we found the key to 'Alcorra'. Oh, it is what we often call 'als disease', and we discovered the existence of the memory imprint." Jack looked joyful, and seemed to return to the exciting scene at that time.
"But I heard that this disease is not caused by atrophy of something in the brain?" Samson asked.
"Bah, nonsense, that's a complication, not a cause of the disease. The real cause of the disease is caused by the gradual separation of memory marks from the brain. Just like the retina falling off, you will gradually lose sight of things and eventually blindness." Old Jack said: "Later, we found out that when the memory mark transplant was successfully transplanted, the brain could be transplanted, but there was no need to transplant it, hehehehe."
"Well, yes, just transplant the memory mark into your new body, why should you transplant the brain if that's the matter?" Bai Yu said helplessly, dragging his chin.
"Yes, yes. So I became the first one." Old Jack pointed at himself and said, "Stomach cancer, the brain spread caused by the spread."
"You saved yourself and the whole world," Bai Yu praised.
"But most people didn't think so at that time." Old Jack said angrily: "They said I am against humans."
"So serious? The hat is big enough." Bai Yu was surprised.
"Yes, the crime is not small if you have a great reputation. I think about it, oh, it is an "extremely serious violation and humiliation of human dignity." That's what I said at that time. The pope of the Emma Empire even wanted to catch me in front of him and burn him to death." Old Jack recalled.
"As for it, it's up to him." Bai Yu couldn't figure it out.
Old Jack gave Bai Yu a look at the historical idiot Bai Yu; "How come it is not that religion is just a fool for death, such as the heaven after death, the reincarnation, and the judgment of the end of the world. Anyway, there are so many tricks, and with Kron technology, no one can die. Even if the Lord Death personally sends the leaflets, their jobs will be ruined."
"Yes, later Pope Emma was also ruined by you, and directly claimed that he had received God's will and changed his doctrine. Otherwise, the Pope Emma's Pope would not have lived until now." Ola interrupted.
"Hmph, I heard that the old guy still has to repent for a long time with my clan cabin. If you have the ability to go to his heaven." Old Jack was extremely dissatisfied.
"Haha, what happened later?" Bai Yu smiled. It seemed that the president of the Academy of Sciences and the Pope were really irreconcilable enemies.
"What else can it be done? The Federal Academy of Sciences can't withstand the pressure of public opinion. 'Please' I retire." Old Jack made the word "Please" very seriously: "Some people keep coming to me to trouble me, and some people have to assassinate me more than once, and then they are still those cute federal MPs. Ah, they are all powerful masters, haha, of course, they are all bad at eating, drinking, whore and gambling, so they secretly found me and let me save their lives. When there are too many people, they can't hold them back. So they simply legitimate the Kron technology. Now it's fine, it's completely legalized, and then the wealthy businessmen, ha, thank the government for the huge inheritance tax collected. They are the second batch, and the third batch is the Emma royal family and the nobles, but I secretly sold their technology. The most interesting thing is that later, the Emma nobles collectively asked their pope to make concessions, otherwise they would abolish the church. Hehe, it's really interesting."
"How are those who oppose you? All have compromised?" Bai Yu asked with a smile.
"Those who oppose me, huh, what else can I do? If you want to continue living, you have to compromise. If you don't accept Kronto's skills, you can only die. They don't use Kronto's physical fitness to live better than me? Just kidding." Old Jack said proudly.
"Haha, then why do you come to retire? You are all 'whoever follows you, and you who defy you die'. Isn't it enough to go back to the Academy of Sciences? No matter when, you are the oldest dean in existence." Bai Yu joked.
"Hey, go back to a group of people who once tried their best to oppose you, abused you, threw stinky cheese and sandwiches at you, and even built materials, and wanted to burn you to death? I don't take that risk, nor can I take that face. Roy once saved me when I was fleeing, so I defected to him." Old Jack said with a sigh.
"Then why are you going to go back to those guys? Isn't it just a broken computer? Let them repair it by themselves?" Bai Yu said angrily.
"Girl, thank you for supporting me." Old Jack said sincerely: "But that is not an ordinary broken computer. Almost all federal computers are controlled by her. 46% of the federal artificial intelligence treat it as home. If that computer is finished, the federal government will be almost done. Moreover, it is important for you to have a good relationship with your agent. This time, giving your agent a face will be very helpful to you in the future. Alas, all the national affairs and family affairs are together, so I must go there. However, I don't live there for a long time. At most, I will come after repairing it for three or five days. I haven't tasted the coffee beans you gave me yet, haha."
"I should thank you." Bai Yu shook his head and said.
"I won't talk about this anymore. You have to be careful about this mission. I believe you can see that everyone else is helping you with chores. You are the core. Maybe you saved not only the Gallent Federation. I have a premonition that the four countries may have more or less mixed into this matter." Old Jack said seriously.
"Okay, my great men, you are here. Are you going to continue chatting or saving the world first?" Samson asked with a smile.
"Okay, I will pay attention, see you later." Bai Yu began to pack his luggage.
"Well, when you come back, I'll treat you to coffee. I've discovered a new method of mixing that will make sure it suits your taste." Old Jack also untied his restraint belt and stood up the activator's stiff shoulders and knees.
"Uh, coffee, new recipe...me, that, okay." Bai Yu remembered what he had drunk in Old Jack's lab. The viscosity was almost as good as the irritating liquid of the nutrient paste, and the can of sugar cube that had been spoiled for many years. Well, at least the sugar cube has bought him a new one.
