Cyber Heroes

Lu Xuanyu was still a little restrained when he sat in the back seat of the car.

Xiangshan didn't know why he invited him to "have a drink" in the evening. Also invited were Ingrid and Florence. However, Florence declined, saying that she had work to do.

After that, Xiangshan went to Zhu Xinyu's ward and stayed for an hour. On the one hand, baseline human comfort temperatures are pure torture for Homo sapiens. On the other hand, Zhu Xinyu had just completed surgery and could not leave the medical center at will.

If Zhu Xinyu can leave, Xiangshan will probably drag Zhu Xinyu with him.

What surprised Lu Xuanyu was that Xiangshan's business car did not stop at any bar, but drove straight to the busiest area.

This is the famous "Superman Science and Technology Park". Many research and development institutions under the name of superhuman companies, as well as experimental business premises, are located here. In addition, many superhuman enterprise partners have set up branches here.

When this place was first established, Xiang Shan seemed to have secured many good policies.

Strictly speaking, the medical center where Lu Xuanyu stayed before is also part of this park. However, the medical center was only completed this year, and due to various needs, the location is relatively remote.

It takes about three or four stops to reach the central part of the park. This is the famous Transhumanism Library - it is said to be called the "Technological Version of the Library of Alexandria" and "The Latest Wonder of the World" among gringos. There is no so-called "original" book here, but almost all technical information can be found.

Beginning with Kanbaru-zon, a large number of copies of scholars' "unorganized manuscripts" are collected here. These are donations from scholars around the world.

Opposite this "miracle" is a small, simple but elegant building. The geometric glass curtain wall creates a "sharp" aesthetic.

There is an inconspicuous sign at the door with the words "No. 1 Canteen in the Park" written in large characters.

Xiangshan didn't say a word, just walked straight to the elevator and went up to the fifth floor.

A fat Westerner arrived first. He saw Xiang Shan and waved.

Xiang Shan sat opposite him.

Ingrid also found a place to sit down by herself. Lu Xuanyu was a little embarrassed, but Ingrid motioned him to sit down casually.

Lu Xuanyu recognized the guy who was a little fat. David Klein, who is revered as the father of modern prosthetics, is also theoretically Lu Xuanyu's great benefactor.

David grinned: "Yog is not coming."

"People who have children." Xiang Shan scratched his head.

"Who doesn't have it yet - oh, you don't have it yet." David shrugged: "What do you want to drink?"

"Let's have some 'super sweet sugar water', with alcohol."

Xiangshan has never liked astringency or bitterness, so he doesn't like most wines. Over time, people who love drinking will accuse him of ordering "too sweet sugar water" every time he goes to the bar. Over time, this has become a conventional name - "Xiang Shan drinks sugar water that is not very sweet."

David casually moved his hand twice in front of him. He also wears smart glasses on his head.

"Is Yingjia the same as before? Oh... Mr. Lu, what about you?"

"I..." Lu Xuanyu was a little embarrassed: "Just have some local rice wine."

"Uh-huh, Benchmark people specialize in rice wine." David nodded.

Lu Xuanyu said: "The normal ones are fine..."

"I advise you to try this special one." David said: "Research shows that after becoming a baseline person, your taste will change. In addition, your metabolic pathways of a lot of things have been rewritten. Try this It’s safer.”

Xiang Shan suddenly smiled: "Tsk tsk, I suddenly remembered that that guy Yog also thought about deleting the main metabolic pathway of substances like nicotine."

Lu Xuanyu said: "What does this mean? People have no feeling for smoking anymore?"

Xiang Shan waved his hand: "That would be unless some of the acetylcholine receptors are deleted...but acetylcholine is the most important neurotransmitter, and randomly deleting acetylcholine receptors will definitely affect thinking ability..."

Ingrid rolled her eyes: "It means that humans cannot metabolize nicotine in the body, and the toxicity of cigarettes has increased dramatically."

"In early animal experiments, there were often cases of 'Oh shit, this thing can't decompose its own secreted so-and-so' and then died suddenly." Xiang Shan said: "Yawgmoth felt at the time that if some of the addictive ingredients were turned into The products that adults cannot metabolize turn those things into powerful poisons, and the drug problem can be solved directly."

"Of course, the problem is that things that cannot be metabolized can be directly excreted from the body. If you want to turn cigarettes into a poison that kills you when you smoke them, you have to let the receptors bind nicotine first... It's just too troublesome anyway. , so he gave up directly."

"This idea is too much!" Ingrid shook her head.

Just then, the robot waiter brought a few glasses of wine. There are also side dishes to accompany the wine.

Xiang Shan picked up a cup of colorful-looking stuff and drank it in one gulp: "One more cup."

David sighed and waved again.

While waiting for the second cup to be served, Xiangshan's face turned red visibly.

"Brother, you barely drank alcohol half a year ago, so don't do it so hard." David patted him.

Ingrid finished a glass of beer silently.

Xiangshan became very frustrated: "Half a year ago...half a year ago. Just the day of New Year's Eve. Tsk tsk, the main tasks are all here."

David sighed: "At least I have a new friend."

Lu Xuanyu felt that this was probably talking about himself.

"What's wrong?" David looked at Ingrid: "Yingjia, what's wrong with this guy again?"

Before Ingrid could say anything, Xiang Shan said, "There's nothing wrong with her. I'm very happy today."

"That kid Hayabusa suddenly said today. He said he realized that this is indeed a different world. Everything we do has profound significance for this world... and it is a pity that that guy Azun died."

David also fell silent: "Yes, it's good."

Ingrid was a little dissatisfied: "Are you two very depressed? This is a good thing, right?"

Xiang Shan raised his second glass of wine and took a sip: "It tastes bad...forget it. Yes, a good thing."

Lu Xuanyu scratched his head: "Well... I kind of don't understand. This place is different from that brat's homeland... It's obvious at a glance, right? Who doesn't think you are doing the most meaningful work in the world?"

Ingrid shook her head: "You are different from the 'normal' in that child's eyes."
