not heavy

I am death that devours all, and life that shall be born.I am the endless universe, I am the God of all forms.I can fill the universe, but I can hide in mustard seeds.I am the light and the sun, and I am the night and the moon.

——India's Bhagavad Gita

This morning is the busiest time for Boyuan West Street Vegetable Market.

The fruit and vegetable area has set the price range for all kinds of fruits and vegetables today. Vegetable vendors display their best products neatly in front of the stalls in a show-off manner, and put the ones with a slightly worse quality at the back.The meat area has good ventilation, but there is still a fishy smell to some extent. The stall owners use their usual knives to cut off the meat specified by the customer, and throw it on the electronic scale neatly, making a "snap".

Meng Buzhong was carrying a bag of tomatoes, passing by the aquatic area, and saw an aunt fishing for crucian carp in a pond with a net, and said to the fishmonger, "Just this one, I want this one."

The storekeeper agreed, and when he was about to reach out to take the net bag, the crucian carp seemed unwilling, turned over and jumped out, and fell into the black fish pond next door, which immediately disturbed the fish in the pond.The black fish is fierce by nature, and when they saw a delicious meal flying from the sky, they chased and competed for the food. In an instant, the fish pond was churning, splashing water, the aunt and the fishmonger were in a hurry, and the whole area was noisy.

Didu——

The siren rang, and the inspector of the vegetable market came over and asked a few words. Seeing that there was nothing serious, he gestured behind him, signaling the assistant to deal with this area.

The assistant was wearing gray-blue overalls and a staff cap. Without any tools, he fished out the dead crucian carp body from the sharp teeth of the black fish with his bare hands and threw it into the garbage bag under the tool cart. middle.Then he bent down to clean up the splashed water, and wiped the floor with a dry cloth meticulously.

Meng Buzhong saw a regular hexagonal blue mark on the back of the man's neck, with a serial number in the middle.

He is an android.

Since the beginning of the 22nd century, with the advancement of technologies such as artificial intelligence and new materials, intelligent machinery has developed to a sufficient level. In addition to being used in military, aerospace and industrial fields, it has also been popularized in human daily life.After various experiments and researches, the world's three major technology companies have carried out technological integration and issued relevant restrictive clauses, allowing this kind of omnic to come out in the form of a "bionic human" to serve human beings.

However, although they have taken various precautions and put various shackles on the bionic technology, the speed of technological self-innovation has far exceeded their expectations, leading to increasingly fierce disputes in the past 30 years.

When the will and ability of omnics are getting closer to human beings, and when the definition of "silicon-based life" gradually takes shape amidst ethical complaints, human beings finally understand why God expelled the Adam and Eve he created from the Garden of Eden.

Eat what you want, nothing more than that.

Of course, these are things that the three major technology companies and the governments of various countries need to worry about. It is not up to a sophomore like him to worry about it, so Meng Buzhong went to buy vegetables after watching the excitement.

His father specially sent a message to tell him that he wants to eat braised pork, but he hasn't bought the meat yet.

Wandering to the meat section, Meng Buzhong found that there was no one at the stall he frequented, so he went to the stall next to him: "Uncle, come to Erjin Wuhua."

"Okay." The butcher took out the knife sharpening stick, and sharpened the knife with a few clicks.

"Where's Uncle Liu?" Meng Buzhong looked at the vacant booth and chatted.

"He said it was a backache, so he went back to rest for a few days." The butcher picked up a piece of meat, weighed it roughly, and cut off a piece with a knife in his hand. "I told him whether to hire an android to show him for a few days. The stall, he refused. Old Liu just can’t trust the bionic man, he said it’s better to save the money for traction treatment for himself, but the hospital sent him to do the traction with a bionic man, which drove him to death.”

"Well, the employment fee of bionics is cheaper." Meng Buzhong answered casually.

"Of course, they were created to serve human beings anyway, so they are not in vain." The butcher cut the meat and threw it on the electronic scale with a snap, "It's exactly two catties."

Meng Buzhong glanced at the numbers displayed on the electronic scale, and frowned: "Uncle, your scale...isn't it right?"

When the butcher heard this, he straightened his face: "Young man, what do you mean?"

"I mean it's not enough meat."

"If you say that the scale is not enough, it is not enough. You can't talk nonsense, young man!" The butcher chopped his knife on the cutting board angrily, "I tell you, my old king has set up a stall here for several years, and no one has ever Said that the meat I sold was short of catties and taels!"

"I don't know how you weighed it before, but this piece of meat is definitely not enough to weigh." Meng Buzhong took a closer look at the piece of meat, "It's missing two and a half."

Lao Wang was so angry that he raised his voice: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense! You haven't even touched the meat, and you can tell the difference with your eyes? You are deliberately finding fault!"

He set off the stall's siren because of his high voice.

Didu——

The inspector walked over impatiently: "What's the matter?"

Meng Buzhong confidently pointed to the electronic scale and the pork belly over there: "He has tampered with the scale."

The movement of Old Wang here attracted another wave of people to watch.

"what happened?"

"It says there's something wrong with the scale."

"Isn't this old Wang, no way, old Wang has been here for several years, and nothing like this has happened."

"Is the young man looking for faults?"

"He looks quite handsome..."

The inspector stood between the two, listened to the ins and outs, and asked Meng Buzhong: "He said that you have never touched this piece of meat, how do you know that it is two and a half?"

"The point is not whether I touched it or not?" Meng Buzhong said helplessly, "If you don't believe me, you can use a fair scale to weigh it again, and see if there are two and a half missing."

Seeing this, Lao Wang said: "Why do you need so much meat? I'll just add some to you. Young man, stop messing around and delay my business!"

"Wait, put the meat down." The inspector stopped Lao Wang, and called the bionic assistant who had just cleaned up the aquatic product area, "You come and repeat."

The bionic man put on disposable rubber gloves, fetched a uniformly calibrated fair scale from the vegetable market from the tool cart, picked up the piece of meat, and put it on the scale.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the number on the electronic scale jumped to 1.750 catties/0.875 kg.

The bionic man's voice was low and straight: "1.75 catties, which is two and a half catties less than the two catties requested by this customer."

Meng Buzhong was a little curious about this man, wanting to see his appearance, but the man pressed down the brim of his hat, bowed his head and went to work again.

Everyone looked at Lao Wang one after another: "There is really something wrong with the scale." "Old Wang, you are wrong."

Lao Wang's face was blushing at this time, and he stammered to explain: "I... I just bought a new scale yesterday. Hey, forget it, I accept the punishment, and I won't do it in the future."

The inspector took out the recorder: "Booth No. 23, Zone R, violated Article 200 of Fair Trade. The violating items will be confiscated and a fine of [-] yuan will be imposed."

The recorder issued a fine, and Lao Wang took it and signed it, and handed over the scale and the fine on the spot.

After the inspector left, Lao Wang borrowed a scale from the stall next door, and was going to make up for the missing catties for Meng Buzhong, when Meng Buzhong made a virtual stroke on another piece of meat: "It's just right with so much. "

Lao Wang lost his temper after being tortured by him, cut off a small piece according to his gestures, and put it on the scale together with the previous piece of meat.

Digital display of 2.000 catties/1.000 kg.

Meng Buzhong paid the money and took the meat: "Thank you uncle."

Seeing that his estimation was so accurate, Old Wang couldn't help asking: "Young man, why do you have more numbers than me, a butcher seller? Your family sells scales?"

Meng Buzhong grinned: "No, I have supernatural powers. I can tell how heavy something is by feeling."

Old Wang was surprised: "Hey, you kid is a supernatural person? Can't tell!"

"Be low-key, low-key, uncle, don't buy fake scales in the future."

"Let's go, let's go, I should be unlucky to meet you!"

In the middle of the 21st century, due to the influence of the environment, climate and other factors, human beings seem to have evolved again, and a very small number of newborns have developed abilities that ordinary humans do not possess.

There are many kinds of these abilities that are different from ordinary people. The general public simply calls them "supernormal abilities", while scientists call them "adaptive mutations". A special research team has been set up to conduct genetic analysis, but a large number of research results show , all "adaptive variations" are random, occasional, and do not have absolute directional heritability.Therefore, until now, human beings have only established a medical database of adaptive mutants, but cannot achieve further genetic applications.

A famous medical scientist lamented: "We human beings imitated God and created silicon-based life, but we still can't control ourselves, and we can never become God."

However, the term "silicon-based life" has not been universally recognized so far.

To put it bluntly, for people with supernatural powers, human beings still think that they are "our own people", but they are just some unusual people among "our own people".But for omnics, especially bionics, human beings are always wary and fearful, because human beings know that there is no Eden in the world anymore. If they are admitted as life, then two kinds of highly intelligent life forms will coexist in one place, and there will be no peace.

When Meng Buzhong walked out of the vegetable market, he found that there had been a change of people at Sister Li's booth.Sister Li has rheumatoid arthritis, and it recurred last month. At that time, she came to buy vegetables from her, and heard that her son was going to hire a bionic man for her. After that, he asked the bionic man to show her the stall and let her I can have a good rest.

At this time, there was a female bionic person standing behind the booth, tying scattered celery into bundles according to their weight.

Like the inspector's assistant, except for the mark on the back of the neck, the appearance of this bionic man is no different from that of ordinary humans. Hair, skin, eyeballs, voice, and even heartbeat and body temperature are all very similar to humans.It's just that the internal structure and energy source are quite different from human beings - they use the chip installed in the head as the control center to drive the "organs" of the whole body to operate and complete a series of instructions; the heart is a special energy pump for the "blood" of the whole body "Circulation and energy supply.

The energy fluid of bionics is blue, which is called "blue blood" by humans.They don't need to eat, but they need to replenish blue blood regularly, otherwise they will lose energy and enter a standby state.

The reason why humans actively promote the development of bionic technology is that they believe that as long as they control the supply chain of blue blood, they can firmly control the bionics and let them serve mankind forever as "tools".This extreme conceit was finally completely shattered by the blue blood bank established by the bionic rebels.

In 2112, the rebel army of bionics established the first self-controlled blue blood bank in city D of country A, marking the official entry of humans and bionics into a state of "incomplete subordination".It has been 18 years now, and human beings are still analyzing the way of thinking and living forms of bionics in order to find a way to get along with bionics.

Professor Mengqiao of Boyuan University is dedicated to the study of omnipotent sociology.

Meng Buzhong carried the groceries he had just bought, entered his fingerprint to open the door: "Dad, I'm back!"

Zhou Xi settled the employment fee with Boyuan West Street Vegetable Market, took off his peaked cap, took off his work clothes, and walked out of the place where he had stayed for more than a month.

Today's event... is very interesting.

If the butcher with the fake scale was dishonest, the man who asked for the re-weighing was not very honest either.When the butcher made up for him, the man used his ability again, and the meat he took away in the end was at least two catties.Zhou Xi saw that the number on the scale fluctuated abnormally, jumping back from 2.220, and finally showed 2.000.

This has nothing to do with him, he just retrieved that person's information from his memory.

Meng Buzhong, 20 years old, the adopted son of Professor Meng Qiao of Boyuan University, a second-year student in the Department of Physics of Boyuan University; biological type: superhuman, supernatural attribute: gravity [very rare].

Zhou Xi has been paying attention to him since he walked into the vegetable market today.

The data flow fluctuated a bit.

He knew he had found a breakthrough.

The author has something to say: 1. Do not repeat the exam questions:

In 2112, the rebel army of bionics established the first self-controlled blue blood bank in city D of country A, marking the official entry of humans and bionics into the state of "()".
