Cyber Heroes

Bengel didn't make any move, and the lighting in the entire room suddenly dimmed.

After that, a three-dimensional projection appeared in the open area in front of the two people.

That's what Apenning Zhao looks like. At this time, he changed into a prosthetic body with more biological parts in the upper body - these organisms were additionally cultured with stem cells, and the density of receptors was more than double the average human level.

In the olden days, this tongue would have been enough to pave the way for him to become a "food connoisseur". This nose is enough for him to become a "scent connoisseur" - this is a talent that others cannot envy.

And now, Apenning is controlling this prosthetic body, desperately eating a large ball of milky white pastry.

"The protein forms a flexible skeleton, which is then filled with long-chain and short-chain sugar substances. In addition, another protein that is fully mixed with the air is filled in." Bengel nodded with satisfaction: "This kind of thing was used in the old generation. It's called 'cream cake' - it is said that it originally required animal and plant materials to make, but of course it can be completely synthesized now. Not only that, I can guarantee that this snack is not inferior to the taste memory of the old generation. .”

This is also part of the glorious tradition of the Order. Everyone knows Wu Zu’s living habits. This dim sum is a classic style that Wu Zu often ate between the ages of 20 and 30. He often used this kind of thing to supplement sugar in the dead of night when he was immersed in reading literature alone.

The Knights of Science still have the elegant custom of sharing sweets at midnight. Every scientific knight who has free time will try his best to prepare a prosthetic body with taste and digestive functions for himself to experience the feelings of the Martial Ancestor back then.

Although most of today's scientific research knights do not need powdered sugar, they only need electricity to maintain most of their thinking activities.

Apenning was focused on the large piece of cake in front of him, and did not notice the secretary and research knight communicating with him.

Lord Bengel shook his head: "Is your hobby this time eating? It's really a bit... Young Master, I hope you can develop some hobbies that are in line with the spirit of Dyson's principles next time. I heard that humans in the old generation were very interested in reproductive activities. Very interested.”

"It's none of my business..." Apenning then noticed this and continued to devour: "I have done everything I should do... and I can do whatever I want with the rest - isn't this what Dyson's principle advocates? ?”

Lord Bengel applauded softly: "That's a good realization. So, what do you think about this now? Do you think you need to end this experimental process now?"

"I'm fine..." The young man struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, then noticed his secretary and smiled: "My brother, as you can see, I am fine now. You just need to assist me well. Mr. Geer, take good care of the security of Jayhawk City. As long as the siege and suppression activities are over, the 'mountain' will also be suppressed. Before that, as long as you and the adults of the Knights work hard..."

The secretary nodded.

Bengel cut off the projection: "You have also seen it. I arranged quite interesting relaxation activities for your master. Although he was threatened by some kind of death at the beginning, the false personality mask took shape. In the process, he gradually overcame this obstacle."

"Half of the technologies used in internal strength today are developed from the medical technology of the old generation. With the practice of internal strength, various mental illnesses will be overcome by humans. Although this is not a true 'cure', The young tax collector is also temporarily free of fear. Isn't that great?"

The secretary nodded reluctantly.

Lord Bengel turned his head and continued to admire the artificial amber.

"Ah, by the way, Secretary Mr. Ming Jing." The research knight suddenly said: "Suddenly, there is news that there is another task here, which may be more suitable for you."

"What? My mission is to assist you and guard this building, right?"

"A brother from another temple is coming to place an order." Bengel said: "According to the rules, we must ensure the safety of that brother. Therefore, we must assign a guard force to the Yangtze River Knight. This is the rule. We Those warriors under my direct supervision rarely do this kind of personal protection work, I think you might be more suitable?"

"If you can take over this person who suits you, then you can save human resources for our knights. We will be able to better protect the young master - what do you think?"

The secretary pondered for a moment and said: "At this point in time, why would a scientific research knight come to place an order? Is there a problem?"

The so-called "listing order" is an act of academic exchange. After a scientific research knight arrives at the location of other scientific research knights, he can request to stay for a few days and communicate with the local scientific research knights during these few days.

"Do you think he might have a problem?" Bengel nodded: "He is here for field research. Those scientific research knights who do cognition do need this kind of in-depth research. Of course, in a sense, You are right. Several knights of the Oslo Temple do not hide their sympathy for the charlatans. But please rest assured that as scientific research knights, they will not actually do anything treacherous. This is for sure Peace of mind.”

"It's really hard to make people feel at ease, Your Excellency." The secretary said, "Can't you refuse? It's a troubled time now..."

"We will not reject a knight's application." Bengel said casually: "Scientific knights also have the difficulties of scientific knights. If we reject the Yangtze River knight's application today, then he may be in academic aid or in the future. We are responsible for the funding review.”

The secretary fell into confusion again and could only bow and said: "I understand."

"You idiot." Lord Bengel shook his head and sighed, raised his hand and pointed at the piece of artificial amber he was admiring: "Let's take a look at this."

He pointed to the mollusk in the center of the entire artificial amber and asked, "Do you know about this creature?"

The secretary shook his head: "I have no research on these old generation creatures."

"Scaly-horned gastropod snail." The research knight said: "The body length is less than five centimeters, and the gastropods are covered with scale-like lamellae. These lamellae are covered with iron sulfide, sulfide iron ore and mineral iron ore. , this dark volute is also very hard. The esophageal glands of this snail are symbiotic with sulfide bacteria, which synthesize nutrients by relying on sulfides ejected from hydrothermal vents on the seafloor."

"In the past, it only existed in three submarine craters in the Eritrean Ocean. The distribution area of ​​the population was less than two hectares. It only took one old-generation mining exploration to make this creature extinct."

"There are other creatures in this amber, all in a similar state. These old species are all beautiful and fragile."

"However, the Father of All Machines found the necessary puzzle pieces from these fragile old species and created the key to the new era... Can you understand?"

"I... seem to have learned this story from the textbook." The secretary said.

The stories about many people who pioneered the world are told in the educational chips implanted into the brains of civilians for free, but the nature of the "story" is relatively large. The clerk wasn't sure if he had actually heard this one.

After all, it’s hard to tell whether these things are true or false, isn’t it?

"This kind of creature belongs to the Mollusca phylum. It has symbiotically with sulfide bacteria very early on and entered the hydrothermal biosphere. It no longer relies on the energy of the sun and lives in scorching seawater that is lethal to other life. They were born some time ago , they part ways with their counterparts in the biosphere and coexist with sulfide organisms.”

"Many species living in submarine craters are similar. If they leave that environment and enter normal-temperature seawater, they will freeze to death."

"They should have gone extinct without being taken seriously. Yes, according to historical records, they will be wiped out by a mining company in 2031."

"But it happened that that year, they became a necessary puzzle piece of a great era."

"Do you think this is a magical thing?"

The secretary nodded hesitantly: "Maybe...?"

"Who would have thought that a few years ago, a marine mollusk chose to live in symbiosis with sulfiding bacteria, and the result was the most important piece of the puzzle for mankind." Bengel said: "Most of the collections in this office, In fact, they are all like this. They are fragments of truth scattered in the old world. At the end of the old world, these fragments were gathered into the hands of the pioneers, and then a new era of mankind could emerge."

"And you and I now, aren't we fragments of truth that exist in the new world?"

The secretary had a strange feeling in his heart. This seems to be the germination of some... some kind of emotion?

This is a religious experience.

"The young master you are loyal to, me, the Yangtze River Knight who came to place the order, and even you, everyone is just collecting one piece of this puzzle."

"This is a great game, kid. The collections in this office are fragments from hundreds of years ago, and what we're doing is becoming other fragments."

"Don't ask where the pieces you make will be put together. No one knows such a thing - just like a scaly-horned gastropod snail doesn't know that it will become a piece of the puzzle for humans to open up the world."

"I can see that you are confused, young man." Lord Bengel said: "But please remember this - never ask which piece of the puzzle you are. You just need to remember that you are It must be a piece of a great puzzle, and then work hard with that in mind. That’s enough.”

The secretary couldn't help but bend down and said: "Yes, Your Excellency."
