The mechanic.

Zhang Shuo sat behind his desk, looking at a dozen paper reports on the desk.But Zhang Xun stood in front of him, his eyes drooping, and there seemed to be a rabbit jumping around in his heart, restless.

Zhang Shuo is 57 years old this year. He is tall and broad-shouldered. He exudes an animal aura that can only be seen in men who have fought.His brows and eyes are somewhat similar to Zhang Xun's, but they are tougher and deeper. His sword eyebrows are always slightly wrinkled, and his solemn eyes seem to be always critical of something.

The other half of Zhang Xun's genes came from the donation bank of the egg factory in Lost Paradise.Curry's thousands of selected skin cells with high-quality DNA could have come from any elite man in Paradise Lost, because all donations are anonymous to prevent the donor from asking for support from the "father" who provided the sperm right. Thirty-five years ago, experts in the egg factory transformed one of those skin cells into embryonic stem cells and then cultivated them into artificial eggs, which were then combined with Zhang Shuo's sperm, and Zhang Xun was born.Although it is reasonable to say that both parties have half and half of the genetic influence on Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun's temperament and physique are probably more in line with the donor.Zhang Xun suspects that this is why Zhang Shuo doesn’t like his only child so much. If it weren’t for the limited resources, a person can only have one child (but can donate skin cells anonymously for unlimited times), maybe Zhang Shuo would want to choose another skin cell donor , to raise a child more like him.

After closing the report, Zhang Shuo looked up at his son with eagle-like eyes, "You asked to extend the adaptation period for Adam? Do you know that if one day is wasted, our danger will increase exponentially? Eden's North America The server was hijacked, and the United States is likely to use it to declare war on us."

"Canada will try its best to mediate and prevent this from happening. After all, we are in their territory, and no one wants the flames of war to burn themselves. And after so many years of analysis and observation of Eden's decision-making, it has always believed that unnecessary wars are a waste resources to exacerbate environmental degradation, especially unwilling to use nuclear weapons. And our current defense system has been able to withstand at least one nuclear attack. In addition, we have not threatened him enough to make him use nuclear weapons. "

"Isn't stealing one of his servers a big enough threat? According to the tip, there's panic all over America."

"All data is backed up by the U.S. government. They just need to copy a copy of CoreCognitiveModuler from any other server to the new server. Even if we get their data, in Eden's view, we can't use that data to do What, after all, the shallow data is open and transparent. As for the deeper data, if the server does not cooperate, we will never get it. The US government may make a big fuss about it and instill in the public the values ​​that we are a threat. But The normal world hasn't had major conflicts and wars for a long time. As long as Eden doesn't support them, they won't go to war easily. And Eden is always very cautious about wars, and he doesn't know anything about the fact that we have human-machine technology I know." Zhang Xun's tone was steady and tight, obviously he had rehearsed in advance how to deal with his father's questioning,

"On the other hand, Adam has infinite value to us, and even Eden himself may not understand it. He was originally Eden, and he knew all of Eden's plans and thinking patterns. Judging from my current contact with him, Eden's understanding of human beings is limited to those data, and the standard male image constructed in the data is aggressive, impulsive, irritable, arrogant, thirsty for power, prone to extreme thinking, advocating rationality but often not being rational, and being sensitive to emotions. The induction is relatively slow, etc. That is to say, it is difficult for him to predict the decisions made by men who do not conform to this stereotype. If we can use this individual difference to successfully tame Adam, we can use Adam to influence Eden. "

"A man who doesn't fit this stereotype, hmph, you mean yourself?"

The thorny tone pierced Zhang Xun's heart, causing a fine pain.It stands to reason that he should have gotten used to hearing such unreasonable reprimands since he was a child, but Zhang Xun can always feel the pain of being pricked by a needle.But he has at least learned that if he conceals his inner sensitivity and responds with a calm expression, "That's right. You should be able to see that I'm not far from the standard of a 'pure man' advocated by Paradise Lost." Not much." His words also carried a hint of imperceptible irony.

Anger flickered in Zhang Shuo's eyes, but he controlled it.Leaning back in the wide leather chair, he looked at his son, "How long did it take you to tame Adam?"

Zhang Xun thought for a while, "Three months."

"Three months is too long. I can only give you one month."

"One month?!" Zhang Xun regretted after saying that.Expressing protest or dissatisfaction with one's father is always useless, it will only make him look down on himself even more.All he can do is try his best to complete all the tasks his father gave him, no matter how impossible the task is.So he took a deep breath and controlled the expression on his face, "Okay, one month."

Zhang Shuo waved his hand a little irritably, "Go, I still have things to do."

Leaving Zhang Shuo's office, Zhang Xun let out a long breath, as if he was tired after a battle.Outside the door is the office area of ​​the headquarters. People come and go, and when they pass by him, they will always cast curious or hostile glances at him.For the first time in his life, his insignificant mechanic became a major figure in Lost Paradise, because he not only successfully completed the seance, but also acted as Adam's mechanic.

Ever since the day before yesterday, Zhang Xun had not allowed anyone else to get close to Adam. This move caused dissatisfaction among many people who were hoping to avenge Eden.But since he is the son of General Zhang Shuo, he can't say much.

"Hey! A Xun!" There was a loud and enthusiastic voice, followed by a strong arm hugging his shoulders.James grinned at him while chewing gum, with a mouthful of white teeth that could blind his eyes, "I haven't been able to catch you since the day before yesterday, and you are willing to go out today? Why do you have a painful expression on your face?"

"You're so fucking sick..." Zhang Xun rolled his eyes, "What do you want from me?"

"I'm fine, so I can't play with you? We got a good drink when we went out to 'hunt' last month. Would you like to go to my place for a drink tonight? Our brothers plan to play cards all night at my place tonight." When James smiled, he had the miraculous illusion that the sun was getting brighter.His handsome face made him very popular, especially those new recruits and candidate hunters who joined the headquarters. They were like a group of fanboys looking for various excuses to talk to him all day long.

In this country without women, after a few generations, even straight men often begin to accept love-like or sexual relationships with the same sex.Up to now, although in order to emphasize their masculine identity, in Paradise Lost, they still generally admire the characteristics of the so-called "real men", but having sex with the same sex has been regarded as a normal thing, and it is no longer shameful or shameful. Not "manly" enough.

And James is a standard "real man".Zhang Shuo hopes that James possesses all the qualities that Zhang Xun possesses, and the little boyfriends around him have also changed one after another, and they have never been broken.The latest one looks like they just broke up last month.And Zhang Xun, now in his 30s, is even a virgin.

When Zhang Xun saw James, he always felt a little bitter and envious.The two of them are about the same age, and they can even be regarded as young.But he would never become such a man, never be like James, who would receive approving glances or even compliments from his father.

"No, I have to go back and train Adam. He can't stay alone for too long." Zhang Xun replied.

James' face collapsed, "Another excuse? How many times has it been since the séance project? I said, Axun, are you avoiding me because of the last time you played?"

"I'm really busy, don't make wild guesses." Zhang Xun reassured, half helplessly and half guilty.

It's not that Zhang Xun is unwilling to hang out with James and his group of friends, but their interests and hobbies are completely different from his.In the winter at the end of last year, he was dragged out to hunt with a group of James. Wearing heavy leather boots and trekking in the snow, he stumbled all the way, sweating profusely. After seeing the roaring bear, he fell into panic In a snow pit, he hadn't climbed out of the pit until the others had finished hunting bears.It made James' group of friends keep laughing at him as a goblin (because he can get into the ground).Another time James dragged him to the Oktoberfest, and he spit out more than he drank, and James carried him back to his residence.Not to mention the last time James took him to play basketball together. When he was fighting for the ball, he was knocked dizzy by a group of burly men who were a head taller than him, and his face was still bruised, which took a week to disappear.

However, James has not given up on saving his ten-thousand-year-old house, and will take him to play with him whenever he has the opportunity, in the name of taking him to participate in social activities and outdoor sports that are beneficial to his body and mind...but Zhang Xun is afraid of physical and mental injuries Well, even though James was kind, he didn't want to be teased by the soldiers all the time as James' nerdy follower, so he just used the excuse of preparing for a séance to avoid it.

In order to make his excuse sound more real, Zhang Xun continued, "I only have a month to tame Adam, and I wish I didn't even have time to sleep. Oh, fortunately, I thought it would be easier after the seance."

"One month?! So short?" James patted his shoulder sympathetically, "General Zhang is making things difficult for you again?"

"It's not difficult. I can do it." Zhang Xun pulled out a smile, tried to look very confident, and patted James' arm stiffly and clumsily imitating the posture of those soldiers patting each other's shoulders, "I Let's go first. I'll find you for a drink another day."

Seeing that Zhang Xun walked away quickly as if fleeing, James yelled unwillingly and added, "Why don't we bring wine to your place to drink?"

Zhang Xun didn't look back, just raised his right hand and waved it, "Next time!"

............................................................

Before Zhang Xun went to see Ya, he took a bath first.In front of Adam, he hoped that he would be as clean and tidy as possible.

Wiping the fog off the bathroom mirror, he studied his own body.Compared to the soldiers in the battalion, he was indeed a little too thin, but he was not so skinny, and his bones were slender, and his skin was firm, so he was still quite attractive.Although his face was similar to Zhang Shuo's, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but at the corners of his cheekbones, nose, and lips, it was a little warmer and more bookish.His appearance was originally considered popular in the military camp, but it was only popular with pure 1s who prefer weak boys, but because he always shut himself in the Lab, there was nothing to be pursued or pursued by others Chance.When he started to think about it later, he was a little too old.

Although the human lifespan can extend to 120 years old with the advancement of genetic technology, the cognition of age is still lagging behind. In the eyes of many young people, 33 years old can already be regarded as an "uncle" age.There are many boys who are more beautiful than him, more handsome than him, younger than him, and more outgoing and outgoing than him. He has become more and more like a chicken rib, unwilling to compromise, but often feels lonely.

Up to now, he has stopped this kind of thinking and only immersed himself in work.

After drying his hair and changing into his uniform, Zhang Xun picked up the materials needed to train Adam, left the independent hut where he lived, and walked to the Lab where only he can enter.

Adam was still waiting for him.
