Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Time Hero Gray New
"The hero of time, Grexin, travels through three thousand years of time and space for his love, just to see her smile... He harvests the juicy fruits of the peach blossom garden, escapes the vicious pursuit, and shoulders the ups and downs of the wealthy family. In the magnificence of the magical kingdom, he sat and watched the stardust fall, traveling through three thousand years of time and space for a lost memory, just for her faint smile..."
The artificial sun proudly produced by the Bobcat Kugel Company is shining brightly in the huge blue sky at this moment, and there is a hot smell in the air.
Looking into the distance, there is not a single cloud in the sky at the end of the horizon.
According to the artificial sun brochure issued by the marketing department of Bobcat Company, this latest technology artificial sun "Cat Ear" 736 can simulate various weather patterns in the ancient world, including those clearly described in ancient books and modern weather patterns. Beautiful words that few people can witness with their own eyes.
For example: a sunny day with a sunny day, a summer night with heavy rain, a September afternoon with a bleak autumn wind, and a snowy morning with pink makeup and jade decorations, all of which cover a super-large biological sample in the Bobcat company headquarters in detail. inside the state data processor.
In that wonderful space, the complex weather such as strong wind, scorching sun, autumn sun, torrential rain, and sunny spring in March is simulated day and night, and they subtly coexist in the small space of the biological computer.
The local data sent back by various types of artificial suns (its correct scientific name is: data weather processor) scattered all over the world every day, and then the general center determines the weather in various places.
Most people living in this era can quite accept this kind of setting and arrangement. They feel hot in the sun, cold in winter, and get wet when it rains...
But then again, what if you can't accept it?
In the 24th century, which experienced the brutal destruction during the Nucleic Acid Superman War, the earth has now become a deadly haunted place unsuitable for living creatures. If there is no artificial sun, all creatures living under the thirteen dome-shaped curtains on the earth will be destroyed. Die from absolute hypothermia within a few days.
Although the government clamored that the weekly vote of the people on the weather was indeed a factor (FACTOR) into the consideration of weather patterns, most people expressed doubts about this statement.
All in all, the days of AD 2375 were nothing more than that.
According to the ancient saying, this day is a beautiful and sunny day, since people say so, let it be!
Early in the morning, the online weather forecasting station of the state-run TV station stated: After comprehensive data from various aspects (their opening remarks are always like this), it shows that the same weather will continue for the next three days. , you can start preparing.
In the civil servant building in the southwestern part of the city, Ge Leixin was sleeping soundly on a bed illuminated by artificial sunlight. It had been a long time since he went to work, but the biological alarm clock made an error at an important moment. The setting of the sobriety hormone diffused in the room was temporarily malfunctioning.
Grayson suddenly fell from a high altitude in a bright green dream, and after waking up, he couldn't quite figure out where he was for a while.
He rubbed his eyes several times, and only when he saw the time on the retro-style fluorescent ancient Arabic numeral clock on the wall did he know that the situation was over.
"sky!"
he yelled, and one fell off the bed.
Greixin hurriedly jumped into his clothes at 9:13 in the morning of the ancient time calculation method, and rushed out of the gate in less than two minutes to catch the first solar energy elevator.
Looking out from the slightly mottled transparent window of the elevator, the panorama of the city in the 24th century AD is gradually enlarged in the overlooking eyes, which is a scene that can be regarded as pleasing to the eye.
The medium-sized city "Siloyang" with a capacity of 2 million people is now illuminated by the Bobcat artificial sun, blooming soft and metallic colors like the enlarged pictures of ancient primitive computer chips.
Gray knew that if the time was turned back to the first industrial age four centuries ago, the appearance of the world's largest cities would not be so pleasing to the eye.
Just like the costume movie "Interstellar Terminator ID4" that prevented him from getting up this morning described last night, the dirty and messy appearance of the famous ancient city of New York is not much better than the tragedy after being blown up by aliens.
However, compared with today's seemingly perfect paradise world, Grexin is strangely yearning for the chaotic but infinitely vibrant city in ancient times.
However, there is no time to think about it today. The sunlight energy elevator descends at high speed and reaches the ground. Greixin walks out of the building gate and arrives at a bright silver building that looks like a telephone booth in the first industrial century across the street.
He inserted his wrist into a small hole in the building, the biochemical scanning beam scanned the DNA barcode on his wrist bone, and a soft female voice came from the machine.
"Greixin, an employee of the Nucleic Acid Bureau, the underground Skynet conveyor belt will be transmitted in seventeen seconds, and it will arrive at the Nucleic Acid Bureau in one minute and fourteen seconds. Please get ready."
Gray Xin walked into the teleportation booth, feeling like the hero in a costume drama who was ready to answer the phone when the pager rang.
His body sank seven meters into the ground under the bright light, and when he sat in the small room of the "Skynet" teleporter, he was finally able to breathe easily.
At this time, the surrounding projection walls reflected the transparent underground scene simulated by the super biochemical computer, as if sitting in a submarine with the ground as the horizontal plane, swimming leisurely in the city.
This is the first month since Gray was transferred to the Nucleic Acid Bureau. Although the work is a bit boring and heavy, he thought in his heart, in fact, there is nothing to complain about. Doing things is a fat job that many people dream of.
For example, the director of the Municipal Archives Office who used to work signed his job transfer certificate with wide-eyed disbelief, and changed his previous arrogant attitude, "Please be sure to help me when you arrive at the Nucleic Acid Bureau when you are free."
Ge Leixin liked the loneliness of roaming in the virtual space, but it was a pity that the time for this kind of leisurely wandering underground was not always long. Bypassing the diversion in the city center, he turned a corner and arrived at the General Administration of Nucleic Acid.
The same sweet female voice came from the teleporter at this time.
"Greixin, the Nucleic Acid Bureau has arrived, please prepare to land, please work hard, I wish you a happy day."
The land scenery on the projection wall gradually fades.
Gray Xin combed his hair and walked out of the teleportation tube.
Looking at the past, towering into the sky across the street is the magnificent post-Genesis Nucleic Acid Historical Data Bureau, which is known as the strongest building in the solar system.
It was already 9:21 in the morning, 21 minutes late from work time, and the assessment regulations in the bureau clearly included commute time as one of the important considerations.
Why is there such an old bureaucratic rule in such a first-level interstellar organization?
Gretchen was whining wildly in his head as he hurried across the street.
At this moment, without any warning, the whole street, which was supposed to be calm, suddenly turned upside down.
Grexin was halfway through the middle of the main street, when suddenly there was a loud "bang" on the horizon on the left, and a beige nuclear-powered pickup truck flew into the sky with thick smoke and flew over Grexin's Above, landed hard on the street to his right and burst into flames.
When the explosion sounded, people and vehicles on the road dodged one after another, and there were "bang bang" collision sounds, and the unavoidable collision sounds after braking came and went one after another.
The door on the pickup truck opened, and two people in the same yellow anti-radiation suits rolled out of the car.
Ge Leixin stared at this scene dumbfounded. At this moment, there was a long series of piercing sounds of air turbine brakes behind him. He looked back and saw dozens of blue and white city police land and air vehicles flashing their lights in the dense air. Appears in smoke.
"Get down!"
One of the two who escaped from the car screamed wildly and jumped away from the pickup truck.
Greixin froze on the spot, only hearing a sharp "Qing" across his ears, the city police ignored Grexin who was sandwiched between the two sides, and immediately fired a high-explosive bomb, shining silver Point past Gresin, hit the yellow pickup truck, blasting it to pieces with a bang, sending bright metal pieces flying in all directions.
It was only at this moment that Grexin realized the danger of the situation, and he suddenly fell short and fell on the ground.
The two men in yellow who escaped the explosion unbuttoned their coats at the same time, took out a weapon similar to a suitcase, and flashed a silent blue beam to the city police to fight back.
All of a sudden, heavy firepower from both sides intersected above the head of Ge Leixin who was lying on the ground, and occasionally collided with each other, causing scalding sparks to fall.
The high-explosive firepower of the city police force is superior in number, but the hit rate is not good, while the quantum weapons of the two gangsters are shooting with a hundred hits. The object penetrated by the blue light always gives the illusion of being unharmed at that moment, but that is only the moment before the destruction. It's nothing more than a fraction of a second of flashback. Once the blue light passes through the car body or human body, it immediately collapses like a structural building that has lost its support, emitting a puff of white smoke.
Several city police cars hit by the quantum beam had already been destroyed by now, each of which turned into smoke and dust after being shot through the heart with an arrow.
The two men in yellow were not at all afraid of the fire net of the city police force, and kept fighting and advancing, gradually approaching the gate of the Nucleic Acid Bureau.
It turned out that their goal was to break into the Nucleic Acid Bureau.
Ge Leixin fell on the ground, looking up at them gradually approaching the gate of the Nucleic Acid Bureau in the scorching fire net, the masks of the two had been torn off at this time, one of them was a tall and thin man with a cold and arrogant face, and the other was unexpectedly Di was a petite beauty, but in the smoky space, there was a firm and quiet expression on the faces of the two of them.
Seeing that the firepower of the city police force was no longer able to stop the two people from attacking the gate of the Nucleic Acid Bureau.
At this time, the air suddenly exudes the fragrance of water vapor.
Before the gate of Nucleic Acid Week, the scenery suddenly became blurred like a water curtain.
The commander of the city police force froze for a moment, and waved his hands to stop the attack.
Standing behind a dozen completely destroyed police cars, dozens of police officers put down their weapons and concentrated on watching the scene of the next extremely rare battle.
The two people who were trying to break into the Nucleic Acid Bureau were still struggling to advance under the water curtain-like space barrier. The petite woman turned her backhand, and the beam of the quantum weapon became even brighter, firing at the gate of the Nucleic Acid Bureau with ten times the power. However, the beam of light just shone brightly in front of the water curtain, and was completely absorbed by the force field like water molecules.
The man suddenly ran in front of the woman, and took out two standard purple proton grenades from his pocket. These are the most powerful types of personal assault weapons in the 24th century. If used properly, one person can destroy a division. .
But that's an all-or-nothing attack, because even the attacker will be affected by the range of the proton fire.
If the two proton grenades really exploded, the two gangsters, Grexin, passers-by, and even the city police force farther away would not be spared.
Some people in the city police force exclaimed, and some people fell down on the spot, regardless of the fact that if it really exploded, there is actually not much difference between lying down and standing upright.
In the chaos, only Greixin didn't know the power of this ultimate weapon. He still looked up at the two gangsters in front of the light curtain, and they were gradually helpless.
The petite female gangster once again fired a proton beam at the water curtain in front of the nucleic acid bureau. At this time, the water curtain suddenly became full of light, and the original soft water became fierce. Ripples became angry and reflected the beam back to their feet. , shattered the ground, and stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust, forcing them to take a few steps back, and the woman fell down in embarrassment.
The man gritted his teeth, thumbs up, and threw a proton grenade in the direction of the water curtain.
Everyone almost stopped their hearts at that moment.
Seeing two proton grenades with a purple-gold luster draw an arc, the fate of everyone's death seems inevitable...
The water curtain in front of the gate of the Nucleic Acid Bureau gradually condenses towards the center, as if in slow motion, two extremely powerful proton grenades penetrate the water curtain, but the water curtain is like an extremely tough rubber net, and the two warheads can hardly penetrate Transparent, and then pulled back by the hydraulic field.
The condensed water molecules transformed into a faint human figure, and the trembling ripples began to clearly appear in the frightened eyes of everyone who were almost paralyzed.
At this moment, the two gangsters also seemed to have forgotten their movements, and stood in a daze not far from Grexin, looking up at the human-shaped ripples gradually forming and descending from the sky, each holding a proton grenade in each hand.
With a sound of "wave", the proton grenade exploded in the hands of the water-pattern figure, and the purple-red light was only slightly brightened in the force field of water molecules. It was blowing a brown paper bag five meters away.
The water patterns became more concentrated after the explosion, and the human figure slowly landed on the ground. When it landed, it had become a big man as strong as a cow with a beard on his face.
The big man was wearing the standard uniform of the nucleic acid police force, but Grexin had never seen a nucleic acid police officer of this rank in the bureau, nor had he seen anyone wearing such a uniform as blue as the sea.
In the stunned eyes of everyone, the man among the two gangsters was the first to come back to his senses. He squinted his eyes and fired a quantum beam at the burly man.
The burly man watched the quantum beam passing through his body with great interest, and then glanced at the male gangster, his eyes suddenly brightened, but his body did not collapse and shatter like ordinary objects.
"I am Yang Feng, captain of the 'Water' detachment of the Nucleic Acid Police Force," he said with his arms akimbo, looking down at the two culprits, "It is now officially announced that they will be arrested."
The man refused to give up and fired another shot at Captain Yangfeng, but the beam still didn't hurt him.
Captain Yangfeng waved his hand, and the guard who was standing at the door of the Nucleic Acid Bureau came over, ready to arrest him.
The two gangsters looked around in panic and saw Grexin standing behind them.
At this moment, Ge Leixin didn't notice the sudden situation in front of him, he just stared at Captain Yangfeng's tall body in a daze.
He remembered that before serving in the Nucleic Acid Bureau, he once heard an old security guard who claimed to have retired from the Nucleic Acid Police Force say that most of the members of the Nucleic Acid Police Force are artificially cultivated biochemical humans, because only biochemical Talents have absolute loyalty, enough to undertake the boring and difficult task of defending the Nucleic Acid Bureau.
Cyborgs are one of the most common ethnic groups in the 24th century. After the "Thirty Years of Superman War", due to the serious decline in the population of the earth, the revolutionary "Equality Clause" was promulgated in the post-Genesis AD 2391. The cyborgs were formally incorporated into the human race.
The biochemical human technology was born out of the gene duplication project at the end of the ancient 20th century, but after years of technological evolution, the biochemical human in the 24th century is uniformly produced by the "Biochemical Medical Research and Development Office" of the federal government. The giant artificial womb of "Mom" started with artificially synthesized genes (the genes for producing biochemical humans were not taken from humans), and after four months of mechanical delivery, the whole process has nothing to do with the real human race.
Under the protection of the Federal Articles, cyborgs enjoy all the same rights as humans, and can also marry and make friends with humans (even though cyborgs and humans can really talk to very few).
Generally speaking, cyborgs are silent and logical, so the military and police units especially prefer cyborgs.
It is said that in addition to the nucleic acid police on the table, the Nucleic Acid Bureau also has a mysterious unit that is independent of the establishment and is in charge of unknown tasks.
This unit strictly requires members to be cyborgs, and they must be the most capable "transforming cyborgs" among the cyborgs.
According to the old security guard, even he himself has worked in the Nucleic Acid Bureau for 60 years, and he has only met the members of this unit once.
The time he saw it was a nucleic acid policeman from the "fire" detachment, and when he appeared and disappeared, he was accompanied by raging fire.
According to the records in the "Post-Genesis Encyclopedia", the legendary transforming creatures have the most four states of thunder, fire, water, and wind. As the name suggests, they are a strange race that can exist in human form or the four states listed above. But because this race is the highest-tech product of the government, ordinary people's understanding of them is limited to observing them occasionally, plus imaginative speculation.
Obviously, the Captain Yangfeng in front of him is a "water" biochemical person.
Two nucleic acid policemen who came over passed Captain Yangfeng and approached the two gangsters.
The male gangster looked around again, made a gesture with the female gangster, stepped back a few steps, and took Ge Leixin, who was still in a daze, under arrest.
"Don't move, brother, I don't want to hurt you," he said in a low voice, and then he raised his voice and shouted to Captain Yangfeng: "Don't come here, one step closer, this person in your bureau will die!"
The two gangsters escorted Ge Leixin and retreated.
The nucleic acid police who came to arrest them looked back at Captain Yangfeng. Captain Yangfeng nodded, and the two quickly raised their high-explosive guns in unison and opened fire in the direction of the two gangsters and Gray Xin.
"Damn it! Did you really shoot?"
Greixin was pulled down by the man in a panic. He heard the man yelling loudly. The quantum gun "Kacha" in the man's hand rang softly. The three of them fell to the ground in a tacit understanding. Before landing, Greixin seemed to see Yang Captain Wind opened his thick arms.
A chill came from the man's arm strangling his neck, and as soon as Ge Leixin's body touched the ground, he closed his eyes intuitively and waited for death, waiting for the burning net of fire to kill him again.
However, there was silence all around, not a single gunshot, nor the "zzz" sound of quantum beams, but the chill coming from behind was getting stronger and stronger.
Grexin lay on his back on the main road, opened his eyes and saw the same piece of blue sky, at this moment a big face of a person in the nucleic acid police force appeared, occupying more than half of the sky.
"It's all right," he said, taking Gretham by his arm.
"stand up."
At this moment, the two thieves, male and female, fell to the ground in the original posture they had just landed on. Their bodies were covered with white frost, and only their eyes could still move.
Ge Leixin knew their future fate, and Captain Yangfeng, who also had the right to judge, would pronounce the verdict later.
In the 24th century when artificial soul reincarnation technology has matured, the eternal life praised by ancient writers and religious scholars has become the standard form of life for this generation. The next cumulative life is easy.
The heaviest punishment in the 24th century is no longer the death penalty, but the Sisyphus-style death penalty in which the method of death is repeated during the sentence. , repeating the pain of cutting off the neck countless times.
Sure enough, Captain Yangfeng immediately pronounced the verdict loudly.
"As evidenced by the heroic name of the dead interstellar hero," his rough voice spread thousands of miles away, shaking people's ears.
"The two defendants will be imprisoned for 30 years for disturbing public order; for destroying government facilities, they will be sentenced to two years of silent punishment; for attempting to kill public officials, they will receive ten years of psychological counseling; finally,
He changed his previous relaxed expression, took out a blue flat cap worn by Yao De, the hero of the nucleic acid Star Wars period, and put it on his head, and said seriously: "Intent to steal nucleic acid technology, I sentence the defendant to six hundred years of ancient low-explosive gun Sentence, without appeal, will be executed immediately after being taken into custody. May the heroes of Star Wars bless you.”
At this time, the frost on the bodies of the two gangsters had been melted by the nucleic acid police.
Just now they were hit silently by Captain Yangfeng's "water force field", and 60% of the water in their bodies was instantly frozen at a low temperature, so that they couldn't move, and they were captured without a fight.
After listening to Yang Feng's verdict, the man remained indifferent and expressionless, but the pretty face of the petite beauty suddenly turned pale.
"Scum! You half-human monster!"
Under the strong escort of the nucleic acid police, she still struggled desperately, turned around and yelled at Captain Yangfeng.
"You won't stay in power forever, our colleagues will come again, one day, Gray Xin will come, and we will meet under the free sky," she turned to the group of city police officers who watched her being escorted away, firmly said loudly.
"Independence is innocent, and the pursuit of knowledge is innocent!"
Captain Yangfeng turned a deaf ear to it, and just stood at the gate of the Nucleic Acid Bureau like a god, wearing the blue flat hat with the emblem of Lieutenant Yao De's bloody battle madman Morido on his head. chills.
Because the woman was quietly singing the "Greyson Song" when she was about to get into the police car, while the haughty man never spoke a word after he was arrested.
As the woman fades away, "For the one he loves, he traveled through time and space for three thousand years, just to see her..." Amidst the mournful singing, the city police retreated wordlessly, leaving only a pile of wreckage of abandoned cars .
The road gradually returned to its original state, and people and vehicles deliberately bypassed the wreckage of the police car, like a newly healed scar.
Yang Feng's figure gradually faded again. Before leaving, he gave Ge Leixin a meaningful look, turned around and walked towards the nucleic acid bureau, and then disappeared.
A storm like an ancient action movie ended here.
Ge Leixin thought, it was only his father who was obsessed with costume movies and gave him the name of this hero. He was also named Ge Leixin. His life was almost lost in the fire net, but the nucleic acid police force directly shot at the gangster who took him as a hostage regardless of his safety.
Not to mention his broken body and dusty face, no one from the Nucleic Acid Police Force or the Municipal Police Force came to ask.
On the contrary, the annoying voice of the media broadcasting robot boat has faintly appeared. Greixin's life is not good this morning. At this time, he has officially entered the 53rd minute of being late for work.
At 10 o'clock this morning, a brief history of nucleic acid was going to be screened for the rookies in the police force. With a low cry, Ge Leixin ran to the gate of the nucleic acid bureau.
Greixin rushed into the screening room at the last moment before the screening of A Brief History of Nucleic Acid. His partner was already in position, looked at him with puzzled eyes, and opened his mouth to speak.
"It's a long story, Miparo."
He turned on the control seat and let the machine scan the DNA barcode on his hand.
"Now please shut up and do things first."
The stage before the broadcast was full of students from the Nucleic Acid Police Academy who enrolled in this term. The correct number should be sixty-seven. What is different from usual is that more than half of the students in this term are human, and less than 30 are biochemical people.
Miparo put the disc into the VR simulation machine.
He has been in this institution for more than ten years, and he has already memorized the upcoming "A Brief History of Nucleic Acids", so he obviously doesn't have much interest.
Greixin turned on the screening force field, the front of the stage was filled with soft lights, and the sound effects rose slowly.
He is different from the sixty-seven freshmen of the police academy in front of the stage. The freshmen are like the ancient elementary school students when they first went to the movie theater, full of admiration and anticipation. History" scoffed.
Seeing his disdainful expression, Miparo couldn't help feeling amused.
"The history of the development of human civilization," Gray Xin hurriedly imitated the film's majestic male voice to recite the opening words of the brief history of nucleic acid, "in short, it is a history of the development of information..."
The lights on the big stage suddenly dimmed, and the simulated illusion machine brought everyone into a vast prairie, with plants from the Paleozoic era, a pure blue sky, and volcanoes bursting into flames on the horizon, and stone-age humans who drank blood and were carefree on the prairie. walking.
"The history of the development of human civilization." Sure enough, a generous man's voice began the opening remarks of the brief history of nucleic acid: "In short, it is a history of the development of information."
A three-dimensional sketch of biological development emerged in the space.
The calm male voice continued.
"When human beings began to have the behavior of transmitting information, human beings and other animals began to really divide, and walked out of the different paths called 'spirits of all things' in the first Renaissance. From the earliest body language, word of mouth, Knotting, writing, and later electronic information, sound and light media are all great inventions of human information civilization."
"However, no matter how advanced these inventions are and how fancy the sound and light effects are, since recorded, human's information absorption channels can never be synchronized with the progress of information. Since human beings began to explore the unknown field of knowledge, absorption The way of knowledge has never gone beyond the scope of the indirect interface. In short, the channel of absorbing knowledge has always been limited to the stimulation of the cerebral cortex through vision, touch, hearing, smell, and taste, and memory is generated through continuous impact. This way of receiving, The common name in ancient times was 'learning'."
At this time, the projection screen reflected the image of an ancient Chinese scholar digging a wall to borrow light, and the story of "Yang Duo", a story about a European woman disguised as a man to study in the 19th century.
"This kind of learning process is actually one of the most darkly humorous ironic failures in human history. The process of seeking is extremely painful and extremely slow. Life is very poor, and when the acquired knowledge achieves little success, life is usually at the end If the low-efficiency learning process can be reduced and time can be fully used in the integration of acquired knowledge, will the development of human civilization cross another gap and enter a new realm? This is the father of nucleic acid technology that inspired , the 22nd century biotechnologist Dr. Rosellier's research inspired ideas."
The portrait of Luo Shibie appeared on the screen at this time, but it was obviously a damaged and repaired photo.
"Dr. Luo Shilie first successfully isolated the Roche nucleic acid hormone that forms knowledge in the human brain in 2113 AD, and proved that the difference between the human brain with 60 years of physical knowledge and the ordinary human brain is only 200 million parts One milligram of Roche's hormone. Dr. Rothley did not see his theory of nucleic acid knowledge become a reality in his lifetime. However, with the maturity of biological supercomputers and genetic engineering technology, the first dose of artificial synthesis is fifty years The knowledge-based Roche hormone came out in the Republic of Texas, an ally of the ancient United States. Volunteers who were willing to accept the experiment knew nothing about phonology before the experiment, but after receiving the injection, they became masters of music who have studied phonology for fifty years. Since then , the history of human civilization has entered a new page. Since ancient times, whenever a revolutionary invention came out, wise and insightful people began to question whether it would lead human beings to the road of extinction. From the dynamite in the nineteenth century, the industrial revolution, Capitalism, nuclear technology, computers, public hazards in the 20th century, and even the genetic engineering and replicating biotechnology at the end of the 20th century failed to exterminate the tenacious human race. However, no one expected that in the end it was this man who everyone sang Nucleic acid knowledge and technology have almost put human beings on the path of extinction.”
"After the formal popularization of nucleic acid knowledge technology at the beginning of the 23rd century, in just ten years, the science and technology of earth civilization has advanced exponentially, such as communication with alien intelligent creatures, soul separation and transfer, immigration to Venus and Mercury, repairing the ozone layer, and replicating extinction. Biology and other technologies were completed during this period. The time machine also completed its prototype during this period, and even though the time explorers it sent out never survived, the scientists of the Time Development Bureau still firmly believe in the feasibility of time travel.”
The time machine prototype "Wells" stayed on the screen for a moment, and the image gradually blurred. In the silence, the famous classical movement of the 22nd century slowly sounded: "Greyson, Hero of Time and Space".
Miparo patted Grexin's shoulder narrowly, and Grexin glared at him, ignoring him.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. After the passion for nucleic acid technology faded away, human beings discovered that this wonderful technology that allowed knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds has extremely terrible side effects. Individuals have different sensitivities to the influx of knowledge, and differences in physique , Different combinations of nucleic acid doses can produce many unknown side effects. The number of sudden death, paralysis, loss of consciousness, and rapid personality changes is increasing day by day. Human knowledge is wide open, but the pace of human heart and morality cannot keep up with the pace of science and technology. Careerists, madmen, The ability of dictators to open the door of wisdom due to nucleic acid has caused great harm to the world. All of a sudden, there have been endless wars on the earth, which is known as the 'Nucleic Acid Pandora's Dark Age' in history."
"After Genesis in 2221 A.D., the whimsical East Asian dictator sent a message to the interstellar because of the defeat of the war, volunteering to 'share' the earth with any alien force. The ambitious alien army from the centaur galaxy came to the city the next year, threatening Bring high-tech combat power and prepare to receive all the resources of the earth. From then on, a ten-year galaxy battle will start, which is known as the "Star Wars Heroic Period" in history."
"After ten years of big and small battles, in 2231 A.D., the Earth's Provisional Federal Government selected a temporary elite, and selected 200 of the best candidates to receive heavy doses of nucleic acid injections with 'Superman Syndrome', in preparation for counterattacking the invasion of the Sagittarius constellation. After the injection, most of the elites died from the side effects of high-dose nucleic acid. The last remaining 40 people became super races with wisdom and ability enough to destroy the earth. In September of that year, 40 warriors raided the Centaur galaxy The base camp 'Dragon City' located in the asteroid belt is historically known as the 'Battle of Forty Warriors Surrounding Dragon City.'”
"The process and outcome of this 'Forty Warriors' Battle of Encircling the Dragon City' has always been a mystery. After fourteen days of battle, an unexpected and terrible result emerged. The centaur's super meteorite combat base - 'Dragon City', On the 14th day after the forty warriors invaded, they deviated from the orbit, and the giant ship with a diameter of 988 kilometers cut into the atmosphere and crashed straight into the densely populated ancient European state. The violent impact caused hundreds of thousands of people to die in an instant. The earth changed color. Since then, no one has seen the centaur galaxy creature. Following the giant ship 'Dragon City' came back one of the forty heroes, the famous ancient French general 'Madman' Morido."
"Madman Morido led six warriors who attacked the 'Dragon City' together and proclaimed themselves Lords of the Earth. The Earth Legion immediately counterattacked in astonishment. In order to show their power, Morido chose the ancient United States that refused to surrender, and took most of its land Vaporization, millions of human lives were turned into a tragic fate of smoke and dust. Lieutenant Yao De, one of the forty warriors who survived the interstellar battle, led the unwilling people to fight against the madman group. The war lasted for thirty years. 'The Thirty Years Superman War Period'."
"Thirty years of superman war left the earth devastated, and because the two sides were extremely strong, it finally turned into a war of destruction. At the end of the war, the Madman Morido Group changed the bonding angle of the earth's water molecules and placed protons in the atmosphere. Force field, and finally launched a thermal radiation neutralizing weapon to block the sun, and wiped out all living things on the earth within a week, and no one was spared. During the ten years, the earth was dead, and no one knew what the final result of the superman war was. Until ten years Afterwards, the Venus colony finally sent an expedition team to the earth to investigate, only to find that all life on earth with a history of billions of years had been wiped out under the ravages of superhuman wars, and only a few lichen-like bryophytes were found in Antarctica. They migrated to Venus that year The immigrants from Mercury have become the only remnants of the earth civilization. Now, all of you here and all the human beings living on the earth are all descendants of the aliens who immigrated back then."
"The tenacious and tenacious life on earth has been unable to be subdued by various catastrophes and damages for billions of years, but it is destined to be wiped out in a superhuman war. In the final analysis, nucleic acid knowledge and technology must bear the greatest responsibility Although the absorption of knowledge is so attractive, although the technology developed by nucleic acid technology has enabled human beings to obtain the eternal life praised in ancient poems, weighing the importance, the new federal government after reconstruction still decided to seal this Pandora's box again Now, the nucleic acid project has become a relic of historical materials displayed underground by the General Administration of Nucleic Acids, and the method of analyzing the Roche hormone has also been jointly locked into the radiation-contaminated sea area by the heads of thirteen dome areas on the earth: the seabed of the ancient Indian Ocean."
At this time, the image of the federal president who took the lead in sinking nucleic acid technology into the sea appeared on the screen.
"Nucleic acid technology has brought us far more benefits than we deserve," Fofei, then chairman of the Federation, said in an emotional tone: "May the true God bless us, and let us never use it again."
This concludes the first half of the "A Brief History of Nucleic Acids" for police school teaching, and the screen gradually turns from dark to bright after the routine slogan "Stealing Nucleic Acids, Never Redeemed" appears.
The freshmen of the police academy came out of the screening room chattering.
"Stealing nucleic acid, there is no redemption." Greixin turned off the projection force field, checked all the mechanisms, and muttered to himself.
"Ridiculous."
"Your Excellency seems to be a little dissatisfied with the brainchild of our nucleic acid bureau, the masterpiece 'A Brief History of Nucleic Acids', isn't it?" Mipalo asked jokingly, "Mr. Grexin, the late time hero."
"Basically," Grexin said, "it should be said that I was very skeptical about the existence of such a thing as nucleic acid."
Miparo looked at him suspiciously.
"The ancient American mission to the moon at the end of the 20th century is a good example."
Ge Leixin took out the VR screening disc, switched to the second half of "A Brief History of Nucleic Acids" in the next scene, and walked out of the screening room side by side with Miparo.
"The boarded Dakongman landed on the desolate moon surface, 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind', the scene is very moving. However, at the end of the 20th century, and even into the 21st century, some people still believe that it was just A live drama directed by the ancient American government just found a desert on the earth to deceive the world that it has reached the moon."
"But it turns out that the moon landing was a fact!" Miparo said.
"The point is not here. The point is that the doubts at the time were completely tenable from a logical point of view."
By this time, they had reached their small office.
米帕罗打算将手伸入门口的扫瞄仪，葛雷新笑笑阻止了他，从口袋拿出一支梳子。
米帕罗皱着眉，他已经看过太多次这个新同事的鬼主意，只是这次倒要看看他如何不用扫瞄DNA条码就可以打开星系一级机构核酸总局的安全系统。
葛雷新又从口袋取出一付示波仪，趴在地上，将门口扫瞄仪的红外线映照在示波仪的镜面上，十六条红外线扫瞄光束在镜面上闪闪发亮。
“看，”葛雷新调皮地说：“变魔术的来了。”
他将梳子在十六条红光上一刷，辨公室的门“呼”的一声应声而开。
葛雷新悠哉游哉地走入门口，留下米帕罗在门外张大了嘴，目瞪口呆。
“怎么做到的？”整个早上，他一直不死心的追问。
直到吃中饭时，还不断的喃喃自语：“到底是怎么打开安全系统的？”
葛雷新在排队吃中饭的人群中笑了。
“请我吃饭就告诉你。”
吃完由米帕罗请客的丰盛中饭后，葛雷新在餐厅对着米帕罗侃侃而谈。
“记得我们放完'核酸简史'后，我说我对核酸科技存疑的事吗？”
米帕罗点点头。
“还有你也说到了廿世纪有人坚信登月是场骗局的事。”
“是这样没错，”葛雷新说道：“不论是当时，或是现在，我们对事实的认知大部份来自外来的媒体资讯，除非发生在自己身上，否则都没办法查证。有时候，连亲眼见到的也未必是事实。”
米帕罗仔细地聆听他继续说下去。
“另一个古美利坚国的个案就是这种利用媒体隐瞒事实的好例子，廿世纪，古美利坚国的星际生物最高机密档案。”
“蛇夫座史赫可星人，昆虫世纪事件。”米帕罗说道：“按照后来史赫可星人的说法指出，早在廿世纪初，他们便和古美利坚政府有所接触。然而，外星智慧并不存在的说法却蒙骗了世人近百年。”
葛雷新悠闲地把双手枕在头的后方，盯着米帕罗陷入思考的神情。
“而现在的情形比起廿世纪来只有更糟。廿世纪的媒体形式脱离不开平面，只要闭上眼睛、捂住耳朵理论上便可以不被污染。可是现在我们除了平面媒体外，又多了植入式虚拟实境，是幻是真，还真的是挺难区分。”
“别说得这么可怕。”胆小的米帕罗有点呼吸困难的说。
“理论上，虽然我们两个在这儿闲扯淡，但有可能我并不存在这个世界上，只是一个模拟出来的幻觉。也可能我并没有调职到核酸局，不是因为那个我前任的老头子……那个老头子叫什么来着？”
“杰克森先生。”米帕罗低声说道。
“对！也有可能不是因为杰克森先生突然想，我才补了这个缺。”
“看看，这是什么？”
葛雷新摊开手掌，一枚状似戒指的东西，指环处如DNA型般回旋扭曲，尽头尖锐，上面以小小的烫金字体镌上：“泰大鹏2371”几个字。
米帕罗仔细看了一下，摇摇头。
“这是我在办公桌里找到的。杰克森没有别名叫泰大鹏吧？也许这个杰克森是个VR模拟记忆，真正做了你十年同事的是这个叫泰大鹏的人。”
“可是，不能这么说吧？”米帕罗争辩道：“我可是记得清清楚楚，从我进核酸局到杰克森先生退休，我记得许多他的事，记得他的家人，他的猫，这……总不会是幻想吧？”
“为什么不会？”葛雷新笑道：“如果是植入式VR虚拟记忆，基本上什么样的回忆都可以改变。”
“和你这种家伙讲完话总是会心情沉重得要死。”米帕罗抱怨地说：“那核酸科技呢？照你的说法，也可能是虚拟出来的最高级骗局吗？”
“恰恰相反，如果核酸科技是个骗局的话，会是个不用费太大心思的骗局。”
看看米帕罗又搞不懂了，葛雷新笑着说：“想想现在的人，有没有谁真正看过，或用过核酸？四十勇士围龙城？真的有过这四十个人吗？当年从金星回来地球的探险队只看到破坏彻底的大地，金星、水星殖民地的人从所谓的'星战英雄时期'开始就闭关自保，不敢表态和地球有任何联系。我们一切的资讯来自残破地球留下的不完整史料，就连罗世列的照片也只能找到拼拼凑凑的一张。想想看，历史的证据无从稽考，现代又找不到实物。真要争辩起来的话，谁辩得赢我？”
“肯定不会是我。”
米帕罗翻了翻白眼苦笑。
“媒体和资讯本身就充满了这样的不可信性，许多小道流言不知从何而来，也不晓得会祸害到哪里去。像那首'葛雷新之歌'，就没人知道从哪儿来，什么'葛雷新为了所爱的人，穿梭三千年的时空，只为了见她的浅浅一笑……'”
米帕罗非常喜欢这首“葛雷新之歌”，忍不住跟着哼下去。
“……他俯拾桃源的甘甜流水，看遍豪门的苍桑，坐看星尘坠落，只为见她的浅浅一笑……”
米帕罗的歌喉挺不错，葛雷新没打断他的兴头，耐心等待他将歌哼完。
在米帕罗渐低的歌声中，葛雷新静静地说道：“歌当然很好听，唱唱也没什么关系。只是害惨了那些相信有核酸可盗的天才份子，为了这样虚无的理想，听说有些人就因为这首歌，相信时光之谜就在核酸里面，结果是'结果就成了一场时光旅行'。”
米帕罗叹了一口气。
“一场关在联邦监狱中的时光旅行。”
在廿四世纪的词汇中，“一场时光旅行”的意思就等于古世代的“不可能的任务”。
号称“人类更上最大谜题”的时光旅行科技是迄廿四世纪止人类未能完成的极少数壮举之一。
时光机器的硬体发展早在罗世列博士的核酸理论问世前便已稍具雏型，到了核酸时代发展更为完善。
然而，唯一一个问题，也是最致命之处在于，时光旅行送出的探险人员从来就没能回来过一次。
“理论、实际、设备都毫无破绽，”一位知名时光学者就曾在心力交瘁的病床前如此声嘶力竭地哭泣：“只要告诉我问题在哪儿，我愿用全世界来换。”
只是，就如同另一位也在英年郁闷而逝的时光学者所说，“像是锁在玻璃碗下的鲜美蛋糕，那么近，却还是碰不到。”
史上典籍所载的正式时光旅行有六十七次，人员超过百人，却从没有人回来过。
“一场时光旅行……”葛雷新沉吟道。
“不过还是有希望的，”米帕罗开玩笑说：“我们的眼前就有个时光英雄葛雷新。”
葛雷新没好气地瞪着他。
“这个葛雷新也真够英雄的了，上班迟到，三年没调过薪水，存了大半年的点数还没存够买一套生物植入型百科全书。时光英雄葛雷新，果真是'一场时光旅行'哪！”
自嘲了一番之后，他的眼神又闪出光芒。
“不过，时光旅行永远不可能完成，我倒有非常有力的证明。”
“说吧！”米帕罗有气没力地说道。
反正下午也没什么事，而且葛雷新的话题其实挺有趣的。
"why?"
葛雷新将旁边一张磁性椅拉过来，在上面抽出一支螺丝钉。
“还是用逻辑的角度想想就可以知道，”他在磁性椅的椅背上刻下几个字。
米帕罗凑过头来，看见葛雷新刻下的是以下几个字。
“请至公元二三七五年三月七日，锡洛央市核酸总局，证明时光之旅可行。”
“不懂。”米帕罗很诚实地说。
“如果有时光机，如果时光旅行真的成立，现在我们的身边就该出现一个来自未来的人，因为他看见了我刻下的这个讯息，”葛雷新说道。
“不仅如此，理论上，当我开始动念要刻下这句话时，他就该出现了，因为在未来，这张椅子早已刻上请他们来的内容。但是，你看见了吧？我们身边并没有任何来自未来的人出现。”
“也许他们有事不能来，也可能这张椅子后来坏掉了，没有人看见过。”米帕罗强辩说道。
“我从小就玩过这种游戏千百次，有时还做了合金的牌区，写明定点、时间，要他们来找我，可是从来没有人在我面前出现过。”
葛雷新越说越起劲，声音越说越响。
“有一阵子，古代的科幻电影喜欢拿回到过去、改变未来的狗屁做文章。可是又何必回到过去呢？如果真的可以时光旅行，念头一起，你的现在如果会变早就变了，因为你将会回到过去，改变现在的事，在你动念时就已经决定。”
“等等，我脑筋一下子转不过来。”
米帕罗急忙叫停，煞有介事地数着手指。
“在未来回到过去，改变现在……”
葛雷新将他的手指拨开，粗声骂道：“谁叫你去算那些东西的？只要知道，时光旅行并不存在就够了。是我的话，只要问一个问题，时光发展局就可以关门大吉了，信不信？”
米帕罗有点迟疑，听起来不太可能，但是这个葛雷新的鬼主意实在太多，难保不会真有让时光发展局关门大吉的妙法出现。
他摇摇头，不置可否。
“你想想，”葛雷新大笑。
“比方说今天要出发一支前往一九九七年的时光探险队好了，根本不用派他们前去，只要翻翻一九九七年的历史有没有过未来人类出现的历史就好了嘛！因为当这个探险队一组成，如果一九九七年的探险成功，历史上的一九九七年就一定会留下纪录。如果一九九七年没有任何来自未来的人的纪录，就表示探险失败，也不用让探险队白白送命了嘛！”
突然之间，两人的背后响起一阵掌声。
说得正痛快的葛雷新吓了一跳，同过头去。
一个身形高大的老人坐在不远处的餐桌旁，厚实的双手“啪啪”地缓缓鼓掌。
这时两人才注意到餐厅已经空荡荡，剩下没几个人。
老人的头顶全秃，留着雪白的落腮胡，厚镜片后面的蓝眼珠炯炯有神。
葛雷新不认识这个老人，但是在核酸局工作已经超过十年的米帕罗则一眼就认出老人的身分，心下觉得有点好笑，如果这世上有所谓踢到铁板的事，眼前就是个最好的例子。
老人慢慢起身，将磁性椅靠回，走出餐厅，临出餐厅时又回头向两人颔首，又鼓了一次掌，走出门口。
“搞什么鬼啊！那个老先生是谁？”
米帕罗不怀好意嘿嘿笑着。
“他就是你要他关店的时光发展局副局长，鲁敬德博士。”
一直到走回办公室，葛雷新仍然觉得核酸局今天的室温调得太高，混身极度燥热。
“为什么时光发展局的大头头会跑到小职员的餐厅吃午饭呢？”葛雷新忍不住向米帕罗埋怨：“真没面子。”
一边伸出手准备让扫瞄仪扫手腕条码，米帕罗忙挡住他的动作。
“慢着，”他说：“说了那么多废话，我请你吃的中饭还没付现呢！用梳子再开一次我看看。”
“其实，这和中午的话题很有关系的。”
葛雷新拿出梳子和示波仪。
“很多事不能看表像，看起来很难的事有时一转弯就会十分简单。”
米帕罗学葛雷新趴在地上，让扫瞄仪的光束同样照在示波仪镜面。
“我们局里的扫瞄仪有十六道光束，设定成一定要符合特定DNA条码才会将门打开。在生物电脑的主脑中，当十六道光束内建十六道长短不一的缺口，扫瞄过你的腕骨，腕骨上的条码补足缺口，十六条长度符合时，门才会打开。基本上，要猜出这十六条条码的长度是不可能的。”
“可是，”他把梳子递给米帕罗，“如果是反射出来的光束，只要缺口填满，电脑就会认定长度符合。你试试。”
米帕罗将梳子刷过光束。
果然，门应声“刷”一声拉开。
“重点在于，”葛雷新最后说道：“许多似乎不可能解答的谜，只要方法得当，却简单得出人意料之外。轻易放弃，下场就是被人骗掉一顿午饭。”
“一场时光旅行，”米帕罗不甘心地再次取笑他，“最后还是败给你这个时光英雄雷葛新。”
下班临走之前，米帕罗叫住葛雷新。
“时光英雄，站住！”
他说：“晚上做什么？”
葛雷新向他扬扬手上的月薪点数收据。
“时光英雄领到薪水了，决定去把生物植入型百科全书买回家！”
在下班的人潮中，葛雷新在“天网”地下交通网前等了一会，上下班高峰期通常得等上一个小时才能等到下一班。
核酸局大门口早上那场警匪交战早已清理完毕，连炸裂的马路都已修补好。
葛雷新下午稍微看过在天空廿四小时放送的“苍穹”新闻网，新闻对这个事件采低调处理，只说是场“纠纷”，警方已经将现场处理完毕。
嫌犯的身分没提，只是那名娇小美女被捕前的凄厉歌声仍在葛雷新耳旁久久挥之不去。
葛雷新决定步行走到“鲁肉”资讯超级广场。
在“鲁肉”资讯商场中，亮黄色的灯光下永远人潮汹涌。
葛雷新按照往例，从最底层开始逛起。
廿四世纪的资讯商场外貌和古工业时代的同类型商场大异其趣。
葛雷新在图书馆见过古廿世纪的电脑大卖场，人声嘈杂，店家的面孔总是千篇一律，坐在小单位中面色沉郁，身后堆满了金属型电脑时代的各类机件。
葛雷新现在所在的这个“鲁肉”资讯广场上没有任何商品，只有络绎的顾客人潮或走或站地来来去去。
站定的顾客喃喃自语，走动的人们则眼神空白，望向无穷远处。
葛雷新张目四望，同飘浮在空中的投影机械虫点点头。
在空中来回穿梭的投影机械虫飞下来一只，眼睛部位散发出黄绿色光芒，扩散开的投影幕逐渐将葛雷新包围。
现在他也像方才那些人一样，眼神空洞，望向极远处。
“欢迎光临'鲁肉'资讯超级商场。”
女声出现后，葛雷新已经置身VR虚拟空间。
眼前出现最新型的各种资讯商品，他在缤纷的虚拟商品城中前进，逛到一家软体商店前才停下脚步。
模拟成型的虚幻售货员带着媚惑的笑容出现，在虚幻世界中，男的永远高大英俊，女的永远高挑美丽，而且，纵使聊了三小时而没买任何商品，他们也绝不会露出不耐烦的表情。
“请问要什么，先生。”
说话的是美丽的售货员，名字叫做花子。
“我想看看生物植入型百科全书。”葛雷新说道。
售货员花子优雅地颔首，双手一合，再张开，各式各样的植入型百科全书书目在空中缓缓飘浮。
“以下是可供您挑选的项目：内载资料最多的米开朗基罗5400型，互动式赏心悦目的知性美人型，或是唯读式的经济型……”
葛雷新望着五彩缤纷的各式商品，有些眼花缭乱。
他已经来逛了好几次，对这些生物植入式百科全书有初步的了解。
米开朗基罗型的资料上至天文地理，下至人文艺术几乎无所不包，而互动型的好处在于可以与你做常态性的讨论。
“互动型和米开朗基罗型两种一起买，要多少？”他问。
花子迷人的朱唇说出了一个可怕的数字，远远超过葛雷新的预算。
“有没有类似的产品，”他不死心地问。
“但是不用花那么多点数的？”
花子的表情凝结半晌，葛雷新知道这是掌管VR的生物型电脑搜寻非正式资料的迹象。
果然，花子展颜对他一笑。
“有的，请稍候。”她说。
影像逐渐消褪，四周围的彩色环境也随着花子的消失逐渐转换，变成单调的潮湿石洞地道。
“请跟我来。”一个平板的声音说道。
足音在空旷的地道中响起，尽头是一个坐在地上的中年男人。
“坐。”他说。
葛雷新搞不清楚为什么“鲁肉”商场会有这种VR售货环境，但还是照他所说的坐了下来。
“我不是虚拟的幻象，我是一个真人，叫我派洛特就可以。”
派洛特的神色阴沉，面无表情地说道：“我知道你要博学和互动的，但又不想多花钱，是吗？”
对于这类型的口气，葛雷新觉得非常的不舒服，但还是点点头。
“二手的货在乎吗？没有版权的货在乎吗？”
他每问一句，葛雷新便摇摇头，但也没有任何想买的意愿。
最后，派洛特拿出一个小小的密封试管。
原先，葛雷新已经准备离开，却被中年人派洛特接下来的说法吸引。
“这是核酸禁绝时期前的产品，低成本，但因为有核酸成份在其中，互动情况极佳，可和你做学术性对谈，资料库的容纳是米开朗基罗型的十九点八一倍。缺点是资料一且植入便无法取出。”
葛雷新忍不住深吸一口气，有股挑战欲望在腹中升起。
这种梦幻般的配备性能就连市面上的最佳产品也望尘莫及，有股渴望的感觉逐渐占满他的脑海。
“要不要？考虑一下。”
派洛特说了一个价格，那是个远低于葛雷新估算的低价。
"want."
他说，心脏不禁“砰砰”跳动起来。
派洛特打开试管，将开口放在葛雷新的脑门，里面的溶液“刷”一下进入他的表皮组织，不留下任何痕迹。
内藏大约两亿九千万位元资讯的生物型百科全书，只花了不十秒钟的时间就安装完毕。
“他的名字，”派格特最后说道：“就叫做牛顿。”
