Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

1 p.m., Hall of Congress, Central Park

Le Xiao had just had lunch, but couldn't fall asleep. She was under great psychological pressure. Her brain was forced to accept a lot of things, and she had to keep using her brain. It was very tiring. Le Xiao had never felt so tired. At this time She found a deserted place, sat on a bench near the outside of the park, and sat comfortably.

Le Xiao didn't even want to talk now. She just wanted to stare at the silent park plants quietly. Occasionally, there would be a few chirping birds. Le Xiao looked over casually. It was the sound from the monitoring office. emulator.

It would be nice to see real birds.

Le Xiao couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Animals had only been seen in movies or in an explanatory film about large animals, insects, birds and fish called "The Lives of the Past". Le Xiao loved watching this film.

But at this moment, a question popped up in Le Xiao's head. Where did the meat that people in the city eat come from? She really didn't know this. She just knew that it was made through biological cell proliferation technology. When she thought of it, Le Xiao became restless here. She pressed her aching forehead. She had never considered this issue in the past 20 years.

The main types of meat eaten in the city include pork, beef, mutton, and chicken. The fish include carp, grass carp, some sea fish, and some crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters, and shells. These are also seen in Le Xiao. There have been complete documentaries of fish reproduction in eastern mariculture houses.

This was what Le Xiao thought of when she was eating steak for lunch. She seemed to have never seen these large animals alive and was very confused. Le Xiao started to get into trouble when she encountered this kind of problem, but she remembered that she was there before. When I was working in a restaurant, I saw the chef in the kitchen making chicken steaks and putting half of the chicken into the cutting machine.

At this moment, Lexiao took out the small cloth bag that Larry had given him before and smelled it. The smell of wheat made her relax a little.

"Le Xiao, Gu Ningning is looking for you."

A voice came from behind Leng Buding. Le Xiao was startled. It was Larry. She smiled awkwardly. Gu Ningning had always said that she wanted to give Le Xiao relaxation therapy, but Le Xiao was unwilling to do so from the bottom of her heart. , and then walked around to a place where no one was around.

"Hey, you're Larry from the Agriculture Department, can you tell me where the meat we eat comes from?"

Larry smiled helplessly, sat over, nodded but still smiled helplessly and patted Lexiao on the shoulder.

"I think it's better for you, Le Xiao, not to read it. It might be off-putting."

But Le Xiao insisted on knowing. After a while, Larry called up a light and shadow screen. After unlocking it with his own authority, Le Xiao's eyes widened. Something was slowly being generated in the large cylindrical jars.

After a while, Lexiao covered her mouth and almost vomited out. There were a large number of animal parts in the video, which were automatically generated when placed in this culture medium. For example, animal limbs would be grabbed by the robotic arm on the top of the jar after being generated. Take it out and put it on the open conveyor belt next to it. The jar will begin to slowly generate animal limbs again, including the animal's internal organs.

"The production of these meats is completed under extremely strict biological propagation technology. It is almost harmless to the human body. All large animals will not be slaughtered because there is no more land and food to raise these animals. We extracted The relevant parts of the animals' bodies, the parts that humans can eat, are used to multiply, while other fish have improved reproduction techniques, and they will lay eggs regularly every month and grow very fast."

Larry turned off the screen and patted Le Xiao on the back. She looked a little unhappy. Thinking that the steak she ate this morning was soaked in such a big jar, Le Xiao felt uncomfortable all over.

"Larry, why can't animals and insects appear in the city? If we are the only people, too"

"It is indeed lonely, but there is nothing we can do about it, Le Xiao. Not only humans, but also animals will undergo genetic mutations. Once they undergo genetic mutations, have you ever seen those monsters in science fiction movies?"

Le Xiao hummed.

"Does that mean mutated animals like those in science fiction movies will appear?"

After knowing this, Le Xiao felt incredible. She sighed helplessly, and the joyful chirping of birds echoed in her ears.

"I came here to say sorry to you, Le Xiao."

Le Xiao blinked and looked at Larry, with an apology on his face. This secretary gave Le Xiao the feeling of a wheat field. Of course, this was also because Larry gave Le Xiao a bag filled with wheat when they first met. Small cloth bag.

"The game has already begun where you can't see it. Everyone wants to turn fruit trees into chickens that can lay eggs. Unfortunately, our 12th Section does not have the authority to lead a motion. This motion is bound to cause a lot of problems in the future. problem, then”

"We'll talk about it later, Larry, it'll be okay, there will always be a way."

Le Xiao smiled and leaned back comfortably. She just felt a little irritable because there were too many things to think about in her head, but things still had to be done.

"I don't want to turn these fruits into gold, they are so delicious."

Wu Qun sat quietly in the room with a serious look on his face. This relatively large room was packed with more than 50 people, including congressmen, businessmen, Michelle's father, Charles, Niya's father Avano, and The city's top wealthy businessmen and celebrities, Chen Qiao and Zou Yun, were also there.

Wu Qun, as the parliamentary representative of District 8, is actually the core leader of the upper, middle and lower classes in the West District. Every member of his family has served as a parliamentarian since the previous generation. The first number on Wu Qun’s left chest is 15, which means He has served as an MP for 45 years.

At this time, a handsome man with pigtails, slightly curly hair on his forehead, and a mustache that looked like a middle-aged man looked askance at the people in the room and smoked silently.

"Several bills have been scrapped. This is really helpless. Mr. Charles, didn't your daughter reveal anything to you?"

Wu Qun changed from his normal state. Wu Qun, who usually looked full of smiles, now looked more energetic and steady, and his contemptuous and mocking attitude was no longer visible.

"Our daughter has long since broken up with me as a father. Do you remember our family's motion a few years ago? In the end, my daughter voted against it."

Charles sighed helplessly and asked.

"Member Wu Qun, isn't your son also in the General Affairs Section? And he is the first secretary."

Wu Qun shook his head and laughed.

"His position is still too low. It is only level 4.5 among the 6 positions. It is half a level higher than the director. Only level 5 secretaries and level 6 section chiefs have core rights. Nowadays, District 113 and The proposal to reform District 114 has failed. Everyone, I have a proposal next."

Then the man in the corner spoke.

"Can I not participate?"

Everyone looked at the man in the corner, he turned around, opened the door and walked out.

Wu Qun snorted coldly.

"Let him go. The next biggest bill is Bill 19, which is about reducing corporate value-added tax. This is the core priority for us. As long as the tax rate is reduced by 1%, it will be a big deal for everyone. It’s good, so I propose that we all need to stand on the same front on the last day.”
