In the process of promoting nanomachines, volunteers are not completely randomly selected. Some people still have the opportunity to obtain them first, such as the former wall-facer who is now retiring in the luxurious Dabieye.
After Lanno attracted more and more attention from the Wallface Project, the other Wallfacers received less and less attention. Taylor and Ray Diaz were dead, and Bill Hines was still hibernating, waiting.
Breakthroughs in computer technology should only come to light in the next few years.
As for Luo Ji, he had chosen to retire and asked Lan Nuo to help him submit the application. This time, unlike in the original work, there were more than one people the Trisolarans wanted to kill, and it was obvious that Luo Ji only encountered this for the first time.
An assassination. After Lan Nuo appeared, the assassinations against him had almost stopped, and Lan Nuo has continued to be assassinated by Trisolarans so far. It is conceivable that the two of them are in the eyes of the Trisolarans.
The level of threat.
Lan Nuo joined in to help apply. Although Luo Ji failed to retire, he took back his wife and children and was injected with nanomachines.
Moreover, they took the initiative to apply for their children to be the first batch of children to be implanted with nanomachines. It is still risky to perform this kind of surgery on children as young as three years old. After all, nanomachines were originally designed for adults, and children’s brains are still
If you are not mature enough, your thinking may not be enough to control nanomachines. Even if a large number of functions of nanomachines are safely locked, there is still a possibility of danger due to incorrect operation.
But the two of them still decided this way. On the one hand, they hope that future children will be smarter. As the first generation after the gradual popularization of nanomachines, if they are not implanted with nanomachines when they are young, they will inevitably fall behind.
The group of children born two or three years ago have inherited nanomachines from their parents and are born with higher intelligence and stronger memory abilities. If they do not have the same abilities, the children's childhood will probably be quite bad.
On the other hand, the two of them occupied a lot of social resources and chose to be the first to eat the crab out of a compensatory mentality.
Lan Nuo personally presided over the implantation ceremony, and what came was not the clone, but the main body. In fact, there is no difference in the abilities of the main body and the clone. This just showed that he took this matter more seriously.
In fact, the implantation process does not have much technical content. It is just an ordinary intravenous injection. What really requires certain skills is the subsequent program debugging and installation. A program suitable for children needs an early childhood education system to allow him to start.
Starting from scratch, I have an understanding of the system implanted in my body, and gradually I can make use of its computing power and memory, and learn how to use my brain power, which is much stronger than that of my peers.
In fact, the same goes for nanomachines inherited through childbirth. In addition, it also has the function of promoting brain development during the embryonic development stage. This is a passive program that does not require active stimulation by the host and will be started during the embryonic formation process.
.
However, this will lead to a problem, that is, the baby's head will become larger and larger. Compared with animals, humans often have difficult births. One of the big reasons is that the heads of human babies are really too big. Even if human babies
It is a severely premature baby, and the size of its head is still far beyond that of other animals in nature.
This also makes childbirth extremely painful for human women. If the heads of human babies become larger, it will be even more dangerous for pregnant women.
When designing in this area, it is impossible for Lan Nuo to ignore this problem. In the eyes of people in this world, life science is his old profession, and it is not difficult to solve related problems at all.
This is also true. Perfect cloning can be carried out. Is there any technical threshold for artificial wombs?
As early as a year ago, this technology has been applied one after another, but many families still choose maternal pregnancy. This is normal. The emergence of a new technology will always be questioned by all aspects.
However, with various successful cases over the past year, people's trust in this technology has gradually increased. Women have gradually been freed from the pressure of childbearing. Only those who want to experience this process will choose maternal pregnancy.
However, this technology has also caused many social problems. There are always some opportunists who like to engage in gender antagonism at this time. However, this kind of trick is only effective in peaceful times. With the Trisolaran enemy now in sight, the human government has considerable control over public opinion.
Those who were strict and dared to cause trouble were immediately sanctioned.
However, Lanno also considered various extreme situations. Although the artificial womb technology is very mature, human reproduction under natural conditions must also be taken into consideration. It is a very dangerous thing to completely lose the ability of natural reproduction.
When encountering extreme situations or when civilization regresses, human beings who cannot remove nanomachines from their bodies and cannot reproduce naturally will likely face extinction.
The problems caused by nanomachines can also be solved with nanomachines. First of all, the simplest point is the shielding of pain. Nanomachines can shield the pain of any part of the human body.
The pain of childbirth can naturally be shielded, but after the pain is shielded, childbirth also becomes very dangerous for the baby. The mother must work hard to contract her muscles to complete the process. While the pain is shielded, a series of other feelings will also
If it is greatly weakened, the strength of muscle contraction will also be reduced, making it very difficult to deliver the baby.
In fact, the problem in this area is not difficult to solve. That is to directly release electrical signals through nanomachines to stimulate muscles, which can also simulate the mother's delivery process.
But these are not the most difficult problems to solve. The most difficult thing to solve is that the newborn's head is too big, which has exceeded the limit of the human body's ability to deliver.
To this end, Lan Nuo personally wrote a program and implanted it into the underlying program of the nanomachines. During the delivery process, the nanomachines will automatically perform operations in the human body, performing certain operations on the tissues, muscles, etc. along the way.
degree of tearing.
This process is not particularly painful when the pain is blocked. The nanomachines will block the blood vessels at the torn site, which will not cause massive bleeding.
In this way, the smooth birth of the baby can be ensured, but this is actually not much different from a caesarean section. Fortunately, in addition to making humans invulnerable, nanomachines can also give humans extremely powerful self-healing capabilities.
The severed tissues and blood vessels will be perfectly aligned together under the traction of silk threads made by nanomachines.
And if the injury is just a simple tear, it will be perfectly connected after the tear. The repair speed will be very fast, not to mention that the nanomachines will actively transport stem cells, divide and differentiate at the wound site, and promote wound healing.
In the case of active interference from the outside world, this kind of torn wound can basically be healed in one day. Even without outside interference, if the nanomachines are allowed to function independently, it can be enough to complete the healing of the wound within a week.
In this way, even in a state of nature, humans can still reproduce naturally, so that when faced with some extreme situations, humans will not lead to their own extinction because of their own technology.
The United Nations did not expect that when faced with a new technology, Lanno could raise so many detailed issues and provide solutions one by one, as if he had already dealt with countless similar problems.
Things are normal. After the nanomachines were launched, there were almost no accidents. Most of the problems that may be reported have been taken into consideration, which makes people have to lament his foresight.
The real situation is that Lanno has already made similar attempts in other worlds, and it is clear what problems it will face in the process, including technical problems and social problems.
…
Luo Ji's child fell asleep after completing the injection of nanomachines, but it could be seen from the relaxed brow that he fell asleep not because of pain.
"The nanomachines will gradually transform his body. At this stage, its nutritional consumption will be relatively large. The brain and nervous system will undergo secondary development, and he will become lethargic. Pay attention to nutritional supplements.
In addition, the child's body temperature may be slightly higher than usual. As long as it is within the range of 1C, there is no need to worry. This is a normal phenomenon. Similar situations will occur in adults during the transformation process. It can even be said that children will have the opposite temperature.
It is safer. Adults are not as able to withstand relatively high body temperatures as children, and the adverse reactions will be more obvious."
Lan Nuo was telling Luo Ji one thing after another to pay attention to the next step, and Luo Ji was also carefully recording each one in his system.
After the birth of nanomachines, mankind has probably bid farewell to the era of typing. All information can be input through thoughts, and the speed of thinking in the mind is faster than the speed of speaking from the mouth.
By actively reciting it silently in your mind, you can type on the screen in front of you. After certain training, even an ordinary person can reach hundreds of words per minute. Of course, the premise is that you have so many words you want to write.
So even in the age of nanomachines, don’t be surprised that the goddess’s reply to you only contains short words such as “Oh” and “Haha”. It’s not that she is not proficient in using input methods, it’s just that she doesn’t want to talk to you.
(Dense fog).
Luo Ji held the child in his arms with an expression of relief on his face: "Although I have thanked you many times, I still want to thank you again. Compared to you, I am really not suitable to be a Wallfacer."
What Luo Ji didn't say was that he had a dream not long ago. In the dream, he was still the Wallfacer. Zhuang Yan and the child were waiting for him at the end of the world. Humanity was in an unprecedented crisis and he had to be the one to save it.
Stand up and intimidate the Trisolarans.
Although he succeeded, he had to be a sword holder for this reason. With a mortal body, he held the life and death of two civilizations in his hands. And he faced the wall like this, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, living alone until one day.
If he is a hundred years old, he may even continue to live such a lonely life, because his life span is measured in thousands of years.
In the process, he lost the ability to speak, and was left with only the instincts of his body. He was like a machine, and like a warrior always ready for a duel. Staring at the wall in front of him seemed to be staring at something four light years away.
Like the Trisolarans, they are always ready to press the button in their hands.
In this endless loneliness, he woke up in fear from his dream. When he sat up, he was covered in cold sweat. He had never experienced the troughs and peaks of life, nor had he experienced so many joys and sorrows. When he saw this
When he saw the future, he only felt extremely fearful. Only by seeing his wife beside him and the child in the cradle could his heart calm down again.
And the way he looks at Lan Nuo now is very complicated. He doesn't know whether he should tell Lan Nuo about his previous dream. Does he really know that kind of future? If he doesn't know what his future will be like as a wall-facer.
So, can he accept that kind of future?
While hesitating, Lan Nuo had already finished explaining what he had to explain. He said goodbye to Luo Ji, who was a little dazed, and turned to leave, preparing to board the brand new magnetic levitation atmospheric aircraft. Just when he was about to walk to the boarding gate, Luo Ji
Suddenly ran over and shouted: "Wait! I have one more thing!"
Lan Nuo stopped and turned to face him.
"I...I had a dream yesterday. Although it was just a dream, it might be very important to you." Luo Ji told everything in the dream, and how the only thought in his mind was to fight the enemy to the death, so much so that he couldn't even speak.
The feeling of losing all abilities.
"It's hell ahead!"
Lan Nuo nodded and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't worry, just leave it all to me. It's just a few hundred years, it's nothing to me."
Lan Nuo's calm expression clearly showed that he had already known about this possible future, which made Luo Ji even more incomprehensible. That was hundreds of years. He felt that he might have reached his limit if he could persist for a hundred years. Why?
Maybe some people can endure this kind of loneliness, which requires more awareness than facing death, and Lan Nuo seems to have already had this awareness.
Luo Ji stretched out his hand, trying to stop Lan Nuo from leaving. He wanted to say that these tasks were originally his and should be shouldered by himself, but his outstretched hand fell down in mid-air.
He knew that if he became a being who held the fate of two civilizations in his hands, he would eventually turn into a monster-like being in the eyes of others, and he would also have to say goodbye to his wife and children. Perhaps if he had not met them
, Luo Ji would rush forward and stand side by side with Lan Nuo, but he gave up in the end and chose to embrace the beauty of reality. Perhaps this was the best ending for him.
As for Lan Nuo...
This kind of future is actually nothing to be afraid of for him. It is only a few hundred years. To him, it is just like sleeping, and the doomsday battle... may not be lost!
