Lu Zi did not set a precise date for his return, but now it would be too long to exceed the "one month" mentioned at the time.
Yan Luyi tried to get in touch with her, and even went to Guo Jiu's laboratory to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find Eldin and take it.
But this didn't achieve anything.
After being worriedly asked twice by Lu Zi's mother, Yan Luyi dialed a message to Guo Jiu.
Guo Jiu's first reaction was surprise: "How many days have passed?"
"Can't you feel it?" Yan Luyi was incredulous. If a guy like Guo Jiu didn't have a sense of time, then I'm afraid there would be no one in the world who had a sense of time.
"Time always seems to fly by when I'm busy," Guo Jiu said. "Have you tried to get in touch with her? I think you can take some Eldin potion to enhance your sensitivity."
"I've tried it, but if it works, I won't contact you," Yan Luyi couldn't help but say, "You should be able to deduce this kind of thing, right? Take a break. We have to find a way to find her."
"The key is how to find her. She obviously didn't want us to find her. Not only did she leave without saying goodbye, she also deliberately avoided the surveillance area." Guo Jiu couldn't help but feel a headache. "How about I ask Fang Wenhao to check it out, but
It has been more than a month, and I think there is probably no result."
Yan Luyi sighed.
Guo Jiu added: "I know it's not an option for you to always carry her identity, and the quota for guidance at the Disaster Reconstruction Institute will be determined soon. So you can change your makeup and dressing style, and start to be normal with your own identity."
life. I know a store that sells wigs of good quality. You can go choose them with A Ling..."
"Hey, hey, hey," Yan Luyi said anxiously, "What's important is not my identity, but Ah Zi's safety, okay?"
"She is with her father. I think she will be fine. The reason why she hasn't come back for so long may be because of the speed of time," Guo Jiu analyzed optimistically and calmly. "Time there may be slower than here.
Some, when she comes back, she will be younger than you, and then you can ask her to call you sister."
Yan Luyi admitted that what he said made sense, but he still felt very speechless: "I think this kind of words should be said by others to comfort you, not by you to comfort yourself."
Guo Jiudao: "Don't you think this is the most likely explanation?"
Yan Luyi thought about it for a while and felt that something was not right: "Do you think that after thinking this way, you can indulge in work without any psychological burden?"
"When you can't get in touch with her, we can't help her in any situation," Guo Jiu was silent for a moment and said calmly, "It's irrational to spend too much energy and emotions on things that we can't help and affect our work.
I'm currently busy parsing the data streams that make up the human body, which is very important work."
This may be the right approach, but it is not a comfortable approach.
For example, Yan Luyi feels uncomfortable now.
She asked: "If Yan Yue disappeared, would you say the same thing?"
"Yan Yue would not do such a thing, so this assumption is not valid," Guo Jiu said calmly, "Azi left without saying goodbye, causing everyone and her mother to fall into worry, both for herself and her mother.
It’s very irresponsible to others.”
"You're right," Yan Luyi gritted his teeth, "But why do I sound so angry?"
"Huh?" Guo Jiu was surprised, "What's so angry about this?"
"..." Yan Luyi had nothing to say.
She feels that when looking for a boyfriend, you must not find such a rigid rationalist. He will be angry to death, but he is completely unable to refute.
But she had to admit that there was really nothing else to do except wait patiently.
The iterative plan of body mechanization can allow semi-foreign people to no longer worry about being a threat to others, nor do they have to suffer discrimination and differential treatment.
However, the process of stripping the brain from a living body and maintaining it alive, and connecting the brain nerves to achieve two-way transformation of thinking and data, is extremely expensive.
Simply speaking, the lowest-cost iterative solution - which has poor tactile and visual experience, no sense of smell and taste, and can only guarantee the most basic survival and freedom of movement - would require the ordinary middle class to work continuously for 387 years without sleep.
And this is only the cost, not including the profit that the Ye Group should charge.
The reason why the cost of iteration can be disclosed to the public with great frankness is because Yip Group has solemnly promised that it will never sell iteration services until the price is lowered to the point that most people can afford it.
After all, evolving into super humans transcends the entire race. If only a few rich people can enjoy this level of privilege, it will easily intensify class conflicts, spread despair, and even bring about humanitarian disasters.
But because of this promise, more and more people regard the emergence of iterative technology as gospel. They are extremely lucky that this technology is in the hands of a company like Ye Group that is absolutely not short of money and has a sense of responsibility. They believe that the group will do its best.
With strong scientific research capabilities, human body iteration will definitely be popularized in his lifetime.
However, just because iterative technology is not sold externally, it does not mean that no one can enjoy it. Technological innovation requires a lot of testing, and testing requires volunteers.
Terminal patients who are about to die, semi-foreign people suffering from alienation, disabled people who have suffered major misfortunes, new technology enthusiasts... and so on, the inbox of Jiangyang Base receiving test qualification applications is full.
, countless people want to put on a mechanical body and start a new life.
Lucky people may not be chosen from thousands of places.
However, when he saw this information, Gao Han felt that he would be one of them.
The elder brother is the proud disciple of Academician Guo, and Academician Guo is the father of the chief scientific research officer of the "Breaking Cocoon" project.
With this relationship, getting a tester spot will definitely not be a problem.
Otherwise, my brother wouldn't have said, "There will be a turn for the better in a few days and things will get better."
He couldn't hold back his excitement, so he finally waited until his brother's rest time and dialed him a message: "Brother, it turns out you already knew!"
Gao Yang was confused: "What do you know?"
Gao Han asked excitedly: "When you come back in a few days, will you send me to Jiangyang Base?"
"Jiang Yang Base?" Gao Yang felt nervous, knowing that his brother must have misunderstood, "No, we..."
"Ah ah ah ah, I've seen the news, the mechanized body is so handsome," Gao Han said excitedly, "When I become taller, I can change my appearance at will.
The height can definitely be adjusted..."
"Han Han." Gao Yang interrupted him.
Only then did Gao Han realize that something was not right: "Brother?"
"We're not going there," Gao Yang said, knowing that his brother would be disappointed. Before he could speak, he added quickly: "I asked, and the academician said we are going to another place."
"Hey? Where?"
"He hasn't told me the details yet. I'll tell you later."
In order to complete the phased completion of the project at hand as soon as possible, the work tasks in Guo Minghua's laboratory are very heavy. These days, Gao Yang even goes home much less often.
After being busy for many days, the time has finally come.
Gao Han put on a dark wide-brimmed hat, pulled up his wide scarf, and put on a pair of large sunglasses. He stepped away and turned around in front of the mirror to make sure that he looked good at first glance.
There was no difference between him and a normal person. Then he walked out of the door, walked evasively towards the car that had been parked not far away for a long time, and shouted: "Brother."
Gao Yang was originally a little irritable because he was afraid of being delayed at home for too long, so he asked Academician Li to arrive at the airport first and was impatient to wait. But now seeing his brother wrapped up tightly like a cocoon, he couldn't help but feel sad. The original irritability moment
She turned to pity, opened the car door, protected him and sat in, and said softly: "It will be fine when we come back this time."
"Where are we going?" Gao Han asked.
"Yongning." Even though he was in the car, Gao Yang still lowered his voice, "Secret projects, don't tell others casually."
"Huh?" Of course Gao Han knew about the Yongning Anju District, where many severely alienated semi-foreigners live. It is one of the destinations of the current forced relocation policy, "Does the academician have a laboratory there? What is the treatment plan?
ah?"
"It is a transformation aimed at the deformation of the body," Gao Yang introduced to him. "If it succeeds, you will be able to freely change your appearance in the future and truly return to your original appearance."
"It sounds amazing," Gao Han pondered, "but I feel that the refined mechanical iteration is more handsome. Can you tell the academician that we go to Jiangyang Base?"
After some exaggeration by the media, Jiangyang base is already Gao Han's dream paradise.
Gao Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling bitter in his heart.
Why didn't he want to go to Jiangyang Base? Guo Minghua had briefly introduced him to the Alien Front organization, and he didn't want to deal with such evil forces.
But in order to save his brother, he had no choice.
He still remembered the murderous look in Ye Fanxia's eyes. The cold and bone-chilling feeling made him truly think that he might die at that moment.
Looking for him now?
What a joke.
What's more, the gossip I got from academicians is that due to the high cost of iteration of fine machinery, currently only elderly scholars, disabled soldiers and other people who have made significant contributions can become testers. My younger brother is simply not enough.
grid.
"The iterative technology is not mature yet, and I don't want you to be a guinea pig," Gao Yang said. "For example, you will lose your sense of taste. Everything you eat in the future will have no taste. From now on, life will lose a lot of fun, right?"
"That's it." Gao Han nodded, successfully convinced by him.
