my son billions
Chapter 50
Hopson looked at the girl in front of him with a face full of hope, as if he saw himself once.The self who was shocked and fascinated by the perfect Salimon system.Rule followers, they believe in rules and are obsessed with them.They want to create a perfect, fair and just world.
But does such a world really exist?In other words, is it really possible for such a world to run for a long time?
He has never found the answer to this question, and his students still want to continue to explore ignorantly and fearlessly.
"Old Hopson, have you forgotten those girls who exchanged their bodies for medicine?" Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in Lilith's stomach.
No one showed any surprise, but the voice continued to say, "Your life is over, but theirs is not. Do you still want to drag everyone to hell with you?"
Hobson turned his head and looked at the transport cabins whose doors were tightly closed.
Those less fortunate children will be sent to Nidero.There, there will be one hell after another waiting for them.
Hopson lowered his eyelids in silence. He held on to the railing of the iron cage with some exhaustion, coughed lightly, and then said with difficulty, "Joe Venus."
Lilith's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and then the men in the same iron cage quickly began to quietly pass messages between the iron cages.Not long after, a thin man squeezed out from the crowd, and quickly stuffed something into Lilith's hand.
Lilith looked down and found that it was a very ordinary metal capsule.
"Joe Winas said that this thing is a kind of bacteria that can parasitize on plants. As long as it is in a place with light, it can quickly give birth to plants and realize self-replication and reproduction. With only 1 ton of grain, it can be completed in a few days. Producing enough food for all of us."
However, when the people around heard this sentence, there was no look of joy on their faces.They know too well that there is no lunch in this world.Something that seems to feed the entire universe effortlessly must have its fatal flaws.
Sure enough, the thin man continued to say, "But the problem is that the plants produced by the bacteria are still part of them. After the plants are eaten, some genes in the bacteria cannot be decomposed or metabolized, let alone It is excreted from the body. It will accumulate in the body of the eater, and then, like a virus, it will invade the genetic chain of the eater and continuously dismantle the telomeres of the chromosomes."
The wear and tear of chromosome telomeres is commonly known as aging, and Lilith knows this.
"So the side effect of eating plants produced by this bacterium is accelerated aging. And even if you stop eating, this acceleration cannot be stopped, and it will always run in the body of the eater."
It sounds like a demonic food that you must eat if you want to live, and you won't live long if you eat it.
After listening to Lilith, she was silent for a while, and then asked concisely, "So if you keep eating, what will the aging speed eventually reach?"
"Five to 5 times."
"What if we only eat for a year or half a year?"
"Then at least two to three times."
That sounds like an acceptable number, if only twice.
Lilith slightly raised the corners of her lips, "I would like to eat this kind of food, how about you?"
Everyone looked at her in silence, but no one spoke.
Lilith turned to look at Hopson again, "Teacher, would you like to eat?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on this frail old man, and they probably didn't know what kind of light was in their eyes.But Hobson still felt that there was always hope.
When the woman excitedly brought the capsule to Xu Chu and explained to him the rations that this capsule could bring to their 10 people, Xu Chu, like others, did not believe that such a thing could really No harm.
And the woman's explanation later confirmed this point.
But she still had a look of joy on her face, "In this way, all of us can stay. As long as you give me a year, I can at least sort out some data and clues about your 'answer'. And One year is enough time for us to feed ourselves on this land without relying on this bacteria."
Xu Chu looked at the look on the woman's face, the capsule of hope and suffering in her hand, and the countless pairs of eyes behind her staring at him—they were all waiting for his nod.
Even if half or even two-thirds of their lives are cut off, they still hope to live with dignity.
After that, Xu Chu stayed on Kuipengla for another day.
For the sake of the war criminals he intercepted, he took out the white liquid that Kazimo would often spit out to appease O'Neill.Anna, the Finch family robot, once said that this liquid may have a genetic enhancement function, but it cannot be confirmed.
However, Xu Chu used some rhetoric to give these things away.
Of course he knew that among these few people, O'Neill was the one who had the least need to cooperate with him.Even if the opponent's fleet is dilapidated, it still has an export fleet of interstellar-level wealthy businessmen.
It's just that now on Kuipengla, the other party's life is in his hands, that's why he cooperates so well.Here, even if he really took these war criminals for nothing, the other party would definitely not show any dissatisfaction.But I'm afraid that once he leaves Kuipenla's range, the other party may be gone forever.
And he, Fitch, and the others might not be able to gather enough credit points to hire a fleet to transport waste and Quaker meat between planets for them.
Therefore, Xu Chu had to show enough sincerity to cooperate, while keeping these war criminals behind, without arousing dissatisfaction from the other party.
"This is a natural gene enhancer," Xu Chu made up a name casually. "It's different from the gene enhancement injections that are popular now. We all know the side effects of gene enhancement injections."
In fact, I don't know at all, but this does not prevent me from fooling you.
"However, such a natural gene enhancer can promote the further enhancement of genes very gently. This avoids the severe side effects caused by gene enhancement needles. Most importantly, even those who can no longer use gene enhancement People who have been given needles can still use this accelerant to get further strengthening. Moreover, only we have this kind of thing, and we have complete pricing power, and you can sell it however you want.”
To be honest, when Xu Chu took out such a thing, O'Neill was really shocked.
The previous so-called plan to use Quaker meat to open up the market and obtain all waste disposal is actually very imperfect in his opinion.And most importantly, the initial profit will be very low, and he doubts whether the other party can really use the meat market to touch the original local interest network.
Of course, if it is true that all the waste disposal rights can be obtained from family to family, then the profit point, I am afraid that even saints will be tempted.But how many people's interests will be affected?
He didn't think such a person from such a remote planet-even the master of a planet-could have such energy.
And the most likely result is that their community of interests will be crushed to pieces by the behemoths behind those interest networks.
This is a difference in vision. Fitch and Ronald's levels are too low to see clearly.And Xu Chu—Xu Chu is a gambler with nothing, he doesn't care about the result at all.
So of all people, only O'Neill lacks interest in this, but he has to participate.
But now, no matter how stupid or murderous his partner seemed to him, he couldn't break free from this carefully woven web.
Gene enhancers are exactly what he and his partners are eagerly looking for.
"And we don't have to guarantee the results of the use. After all, many things vary according to the constitution." Xu Chu was still talking there, while O'Neill could only see the small bottle of white liquid on the table at this time. up.
He reached out and took the bottle, which was no bigger than his little finger, unscrewed the cap and drank it in one gulp.
His movements were unexpectedly fast, and Xu Chu was stunned. He didn't know whether to stop the other party from inducing him to vomit, or immediately try to explain why this thing "seemed" to have no effect.
Don't talk about gene enhancers, he doesn't even know what the real gene booster is.It's just that he heard Anna mention it casually, and he just used it casually.
So the two became silent, and after looking at each other for a while, O'Neill said abruptly, "I don't feel anything."
Xu Chu was startled, and immediately explained with an embarrassed smile, "Of course, it will come at a very gentle speed—"
Before he finished speaking, O'Neill suddenly smiled silly at him.
Xu Chu was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue speaking.But he heard the other party say to him very softly afterwards, "I'll sleep for a while, just for a while."
Then he collapsed on the rattan chair, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
So this thing is a very effective sleeping pill?If there are no side effects, it seems that it should be - can it be sold at a relatively good price?
Uncertainly, Xu Chu took a sip of the juice that was on the side and calmed down for a while. After thinking about it, he invited a few small beetles and asked them to stay by the side before getting up to see Lilith and the others.
But does such a world really exist?In other words, is it really possible for such a world to run for a long time?
He has never found the answer to this question, and his students still want to continue to explore ignorantly and fearlessly.
