imperfect gene

Fu Zheng is not a talkative person, and he said a few words of hard work and encouragement, which attracted long applause. Just as Principal Rohard was about to announce the end of the opening ceremony, someone stood up desperately: "Major General Fu! Can I ask?" You, the war between the Zerg and humans has lasted for 3000 years, how can we completely wipe out the Zerg?"

This issue is everyone's concern, Principal Rohard sat down again helplessly, and also focused on the man.Fu Zheng, who has been the center of attention since his appearance, said without hesitation, "There is only one way to completely wipe out the Zerg."

All eyes were focused on it, and Fu Zheng uttered two words firmly: "Fight!"

"Only by fighting can you defeat the Zerg; only by fighting can you regain your homeland; only by fighting can you defend your relatives and friends. I have been in the army for 12 years, but I have only seen colleagues who died in battle, and I have never seen soldiers retreating, because everyone understands that once Retreat, those who are captured are your own home! Those who are killed are your own family members! We have no reason to retreat, no reason to be deserters!"

"Every soldier in the Federation is a hero!"

As soon as the words fell, the eardrums rang, and the ceiling of the auditorium seemed to be knocked off. Rong Zheng was not as excited as the others, but he had to admit that the words made people's blood boil, and he wished to join the army and kill the enemy immediately.A heart was beating in the chest, with a very obvious sense of existence, and the cheeks were even more flushed, and there was a feeling of being there.Song Ziwu on the side was even more crazy, screaming like losing his mind.

This day of the Federal University is a day of Fuzheng.Except for a few students who did not attend the opening ceremony, the rest of the people on campus, including some young teachers, had been hoarse for several days, and it was difficult for them to attend classes.For this reason, Principal Rohard even asked the school hospital to send throat medicine to each class.

Sitting by the window of the classroom, Rong Zheng couldn't help but linger on Fu Zheng's voice and appearance for a long time. He was overwhelmed by his demeanor. Song Ziwu sat beside him, bowed his head and tapped on the personal communication terminal, not knowing what to do. something.He looked up and glanced at the other people in the classroom, but they all seemed to be listening to the class.

In this era, the university system lasts for five years. There is no distinction between freshmen and majors. Instead, they take courses in various majors six times a day. There are no exams, but homework assignments. The final grades are determined by the homework. Freshman grades do not affect the overall graduation score. Grading, after the next semester, students will be sent a major application form, allowing them to choose the major they really want to study.

If a student is particularly gifted in a certain subject, teachers will compete for it.It also caused a lot of interesting things.

For Rong Zheng, he never went to university in his "previous life", his life was difficult, and he didn't have the opportunity to pursue higher education.In a short life of more than 20 years, there is no particularly interesting career.Now that I am here, I am very interested in every major, and I also study hard and devote myself to my student life.

This class is about the mecha armor, which is an individual combat weapon unique to the future world. The teacher on stage explained a lot of basic information about mecha, as well as mecha-related majors.This is a big new industry in this world.

Although this kind of combat weapon is controlled by the military, there are often masters in the civilian population. Therefore, the core secrets of mecha manufacturing are still in the hands of the military, but other things such as shape design, type allocation, and basic maintenance are gradually being released.

As a leading first-class university, the Federal Comprehensive University is naturally the first batch to offer these majors.But for people like Song Ziwu who want to go to the battlefield, these majors are far from enough to quench their thirst with poison.

He wanted to go to the military academy at first, but failed due to physical reasons, so he gave up and chose the Federal Comprehensive University. He planned to study medicine in his sophomore year, so that he could apply to join the army as a military doctor when there was a large-scale war.

When a large-scale war breaks out, there are wartime regulations, and almost all the people fight. Anyone who is professionally capable will rush to sign up to participate.It's already a federal tradition.

For thousands of years, human beings have invented and created mechas, and space has also been included as their territory. The Zerg has also undergone many evolutions.Life or death, the two races fight to this day, and may continue to fight for thousands of years.

But in any case, it is impossible for any of them to give up the struggle easily, there is no reconciliation, and there is no way to get rid of it.There is only constant confrontation!

People like Song Ziwu who are bent on revenge have also become one of the mainstream of society.After all, in successive years of wars, countless human beings died on the Zerg battlefield, bringing grief to countless families.

Song Ziwu was young and vigorous, and of course he was extremely angry. Once he was called to the battlefield, he didn't know what would happen.But if forced to do so, all human beings must take up arms.

About these, Rong Zheng is quite clear.

Mech classes are new territory and very interesting.The teacher who taught the class was an eighth-level mecha maintenance engineer. He was at an advanced stage of his career in the federation. The talent reluctantly put away the book.

And some people who wanted to know more about the mecha maintenance profession also gathered around and asked some questions.Rong Zheng was also a little moved, and moved a little closer to that side.

I only heard the teacher say: "This major needs the most cutting-edge talents, not only to learn all the knowledge related to mechas, but also to be at least a junior mecha operator and an intermediate mecha type coordinator. Mecha materials must be memorized and recited fluently, and as the main job advances, other sub-jobs must also improve their level."

"I am now an eighth-level mecha repairer, and I am also an intermediate-level mecha operator and an intermediate-level mecha type coordinator. Otherwise, I would not be able to deal with high-level mecha failures. In many cases, a mecha repairer must also be able to control the mecha. , even if the synchronization rate cannot reach more than 80%, it must be at least 65% to be qualified." He patiently explained: "Just like the person who repairs the suspension car must be able to drive. The requirements of the mech repairer are even more serious. strict."

Some students asked: "Then teacher, do you have any needs in terms of genes?"

"In this regard..." He pondered for a while. : "Most people nowadays have undergone genetic optimization. There are very few people with genetic defects, right? In fact, there is no physical requirement for maintenance, but the mecha control requires the maintenance engineer to be in good physical condition. The association will check the genetic status, and it will not work if there are genetic diseases that are susceptible or affect life." He joked again: "Let's take car repair as an example. Everyone knows that people in wheelchairs can also repair cars, but people with disabilities People can't control mechs, that's all."

The students let out good-natured laughter, Song Ziwu raised his head at this time, rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist and said, "Isn't that a problem? Now, as long as the disabled are not too serious, they can be treated for limb regeneration. , As for genetic defects, are there any parents who don't optimize their children's genes?"

Rong Zheng said calmly, "Yes."

"Ah?" Song Ziwu didn't react for a while, and stared at him blankly: "What did you say?"

Rong Zheng repeated the words lightly: "There are still people with genetic defects."

"This..." Song Ziwu scratched the back of his head, and said indifferently: "If you have it, you have it. Anyway, I am not, and it has nothing to do with me. And I don't learn any mecha maintenance. What's the point of hiding behind? I want Go to study medicine, and then you can go to the front line. Hehe, maybe in an emergency, you can find an opportunity to rush up and kill a few bugs with your own hands."

Rong Zheng fell silent, slowly tidying up the textbooks on the table.Song Ziwu suddenly became curious: "What do you mean when you say this? Hey, I heard that there is a guy with a genetic defect in our freshman year. It's amazing. He can still be admitted to the federal government with a genetic defect. comprehensive university."

He babbled on, without looking at Rong Zheng, and said directly: "I guess I want to study a common major to find a job. Now the company requires a physical examination when recruiting, so I can know everything and can't hide it."

Speaking of this, he showed an exaggerated expression of relief, touched his heart and said, "Fortunately, my mother is willing to do gene optimization for me, otherwise I will be miserable."

Rong Zheng remained silent, and then slowly asked: "Do you think genes can determine everything?"

Song Ziwu was stunned, feeling that there was something in his words, and after thinking deeply for a while, he was stunned.

His genetic optimization is a choice made by parents when they are preparing to have children. Parents always want the best for their children, and they don't want their children to lose at the starting line.While the entire society agrees with the genetic optimization plan, individual ideas are futile.

For example, the teacher used the example of the disabled as an example.Who would choose the option "My child has an 80% chance of being blind" when it can make people grow up healthy and smart?

His words are his thoughts. He himself is a genetic optimizer, and so are the people around him. He thinks that people with genetic optimization are much better, and he also thinks that people without genetic optimization are pitiful and weak. Apart from that, he has no real thinking It has a deep meaning.

In the history books of the old days, there was such a thing as racial discrimination. At that time, a white man said: "I am not against black people, and I do not discriminate against people of color, but please don't do it in my residential area." The analogy is : "I don't discriminate against people with genetic defects, but don't let me be a person with genetic defects, and don't let my children be."

Neither side is wrong, it's just a personal choice.But such things as genetic defects are considered by the previous generation, how innocent are they for the children who have already been born?

And the cruel natural law of survival of the fittest has always existed. Over time, those with genetic defects will give up on themselves first, thinking that they cannot, will not, and will not succeed.The whole society abandoned them too.

But Rongzheng understands that genes are just a higher starting point in life, and how to develop in the future depends entirely on one's own ability to struggle and strive for. Whether genetic optimization or defects, aren't they all the same living people ?Potential is something that cannot be determined by genes.

Song Ziwu was still confused about what Rong Zheng wanted to explain, but the latter had already got up, walked up to the teacher, and said politely: "Mr. Murong, I have some ideas about the profession of mech repairer, can you recommend me some books about it?" An introductory book?"
