Psychics don't die from gunfire

".We must fully realize one thing."

On the giant screen of the silver-white building, an old man with white beard and hair stood behind the podium. He was clear and tall, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, reminiscent of hammered steel.

"The world today is full of pain, disaster and imperfection, and we are going through a process of continuous evolution. The world at this stage is immature and in a transitional stage. What can we do? What can we do?"

"Reason and knowledge. When the feedback of technological progress spreads to every corner of the world, we will also move from life forms in the lower stages of development to the most complete life forms with high consciousness and hope. One thing is beyond doubt, people should Participating in the promotion of technology is the only driving force and the only ladder for progress, and we will continue wisdom and happiness in the infinite and vast new world."

Finally, the old man paused, looked around everyone, and ended his speech with those words.

“Everything is about moving towards the future.”

After a few seconds, the giant screen automatically switched to the next video and began to play the [Particle Effect] series of scientific research documentaries.

"That is."

Song Shi looked away and revealed the identity of the old man.

"One of the nine academies, the Holy Sect of the Engineering Academy."

"Saint Zong. He is very strong."

Lapis Lazuli's voice sounded in the earphones: "I have searched his information. He is extremely influential in the field of engineering. He is the top engineering application and researcher in the world, and has led breakthroughs in multiple pioneering projects. ”

"Uh." Song Shi pondered: "I thought you wanted to say that he is a fourth-level psyker."

".?"

"No, mainly, I don't know much about academics." Song Shi raised his hand and said tactfully: "These people's achievements, for example, you just mentioned that he broke through the 'final statistical invariance of turbulence', of course I know this It’s definitely awesome, but is it a little too abstract?”

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Song Shi clapped his hands and said, "I am quite familiar with the Holy Sect of the Spiritual Energy Academy, why don't we talk about her instead?"

"Ruan Raf." Ai Lu spoke: "The fifth ring. [Balance]."

"Yes, it's exactly what you want."

Song Shi praised: "The strongest person on the Knowledge Council, the 'Reviser', is Ruan Fei. I remember she was the number one in their session, and her psychic powers are indeed terrifying."

The education system of the Academic Council is divided into [school] and [workshop]. The former only accepts the most talented students. Even in the highest enrollment rate in history, it did not exceed 1.4%.

If there are no students who meet the standards, each university would rather leave the quota vacant and give up this class rather than lower the standards.

"There is no way." Song Shi flicked the promotional board casually: "Only the most talented people have the opportunity to seize the glimmer of hope. This is the creed that the Ninth Academy has always implemented. Scientific research is not for fools. No, it should be said that mediocre people can get involved. something.”

"Should I say it or not, it does make some sense."

"You see, Ruan Fu won the first place and now he has become a Holy Sect."

"If it were you, Song Shi."

Lapis Lazuli said: "How far can it go?"

"How is it possible to be assigned to the workshop on the spot, of course?"

Song Shi laughed casually and said: "In my case, I would probably escort him all the way to the Spiritual Energy Institute. This kind of thing as being a candidate for the Holy Sect cannot be said to be easy."

"It's easy to get." He sighed.

It was quiet for a moment.

Song Shi didn't take it seriously and stopped playing the propaganda board.

"——Let's go, it's time to get down to business."

Ai Lu was already ready and quickly followed.

Behind them, the project on the publicity board automatically popped back to the main interface after being maintained for a few minutes.

[Experiment to verify the therapeutic effect and safety of "Gan Quartz" type II psychosuppressant on target patients]

······

"Doctor, I, I'm still a little scared."

In the clean room filled with the smell of disinfectant, figures in white coats shuttled around, neatly debugging equipment.

There was a bed in the center of the laboratory, with a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old lying on it. Her limbs had been fixed by straps. The shadowless lamp overhead revealed a cold and steady white color.

At this timid cry, one of the nearest researchers came over. He was a middle-aged man with a stern expression. His prosthetic body was in a bionic style. Except for a line of etched circuits that passed through his eye sockets, he looked just like a natural person.

"No need to be afraid."

Different from the stern expression, the researcher's tone was unexpectedly gentle. He said with relief: "According to the simulation results, this 'Glycine Quartz' has an excellent inhibitory effect on type 2 implant mental tolerance. Children, I believe you will be fine."

After hearing this, the fear on the girl's face weakened a bit, but soon she couldn't help but speak again: "Doctor, doctor, will I really become a madman later?"

"You should call it 'implant tolerance', or 'cyber psychosis'." The researcher corrected patiently: "Madmen. They are just patients and should not be called such a contemptuous term."

"You can rest assured that our technology for creating 'cyber psychosis' is quite mature. You will become a qualified patient and there will be no accidents."

"is that so."

The girl's fear weakened even more. She hesitated for a moment, and her eyes widened unconsciously: "In that case, I have become a meaningful person even if it is my kind of person, right?"

"Even if you are not selected as a research sample, you are still a meaningful person."

The researcher smiled at her: "You will learn vocational skills in a workshop, and according to the calculation and analysis of the [coordinating agency], you will be assigned to the most suitable job. You will contribute your own strength to the road to the future. Isn't this meaningful?"

"Oh, oh." The girl also smiled unconsciously.

"It's just that there are highs and lows in meaning and opinion." The researcher changed the subject.

"Child, do you know what kind of cost it takes for a drug to be officially launched from the initial research to the official launch?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, the researcher shook his head and gave the answer.

"We need to spend ten years, hundreds of millions, or even billions of silver notes. If it weren't for you."

"Child, I know you are uneasy and panicked now, but we don't have unlimited resources to squander, and we don't have time. We can't waste it on those tedious and complicated phase-by-phase progressive drug experiments and approvals."

"In order to get the drug on the market as soon as possible and obtain resources from the outside world, we can only let you serve as test samples and promote the research and development process as soon as possible. This is a necessary thing."

"In order to move towards the future, we must do everything possible, sleep, child, sleep, even if tomorrow will not be better."
