Chapter 496: Spring Festival

Views:

As the Spring Festival approaches, factories begin to take holidays.

This is the second year that mankind has resumed the Spring Festival since the end of the world. Compared with the first year, this year will undoubtedly be more lively. Even the outside of the super building is hung with a string of giant red lanterns symbolizing joy. The streets are also It is also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, full of strong New Year flavor.

Department stores, supermarkets, and farmers' markets are almost all crowded with people. Humanity's long-suppressed desire for consumption has been reawakened during this time.

This year’s Spring Festival has an even richer supply of supplies. Not only are shopping malls stocked with the latest generation of household appliances, but even farmers’ markets offer meat for the first time, attracting countless citizens.

This kind of meat does not come from naturally growing organisms, and of course it is not an extreme synthesis of elements. It is a kind of cultured meat. Its growth is completely unrestricted. It can grow almost infinitely like cancer cells in the nutrient solution.

This was an extremely accidental product. During the process of studying the flesh and blood of the space behemoth, a young intern who had just graduated unexpectedly discovered that when it was in culture fluid and placed in extreme environmental conditions, its flesh and blood would Awakened from a state of suspended animation and began to proliferate infinitely.

It will try its best to absorb all the nutrients nearby, divide cells, and rapidly strengthen itself to resist dangerous environments and maintain the activity of flesh and blood.

Of course, if this is the case, even if it proliferates in large quantities, the flesh and blood of this extraordinary creature that is as hard as metal will be completely inedible. The only result is to obtain more experimental consumables, but this pair has already filled a The warehouse was almost meaningless for experimenting with an amazing reserve that could not be exhausted for at least a hundred years.

After discovering this phenomenon, the laboratory did not give up. Instead, it conducted continuous experiments on this pile of flesh and blood for half a year. It also conducted sampling studies and comparisons at regular intervals, and finally discovered some shocking news.

In the process of continuous proliferation of flesh and blood, researchers found that this mass of flesh and blood was gradually degenerating. Perhaps the environment could not support this high-level flesh and blood. In order to adapt to the new environment, every time it multiplied, it showed slight changes. Undetectable degeneration, the hardness of flesh and blood begins to soften, the aggressiveness subsides, and even the genes have changed.

After continuous proliferation, what is now put on the market can no longer be called the flesh and blood of space behemoths, but a kind of flesh and blood that has adapted to the bad environment and is only level three.

"Give me some dough, I'm almost out of it!" Zhao Yali said as she quickly wrapped the dough in the filling.

"Why are you making the dough so fast?" Wang Xiaguang said in surprise. She had only made less than a fifth of the same stack of dough, but Zhao Yali had already finished it.

"Here you go!" Huang Jiahui said.

"When I was a child, my family had a snack bar, and I made dumplings and steamed buns with my parents every night. I have already mastered it." Zhao Yali took the dough from Huang Jiahui and said, her tone was not much different, time is the best medicine, After so long, the previous grief has gradually faded away.

At Luo Yuan's home, everyone gathered around the round table in the living room and made dumplings, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

The mutant watched for a while and seemed to find it interesting. She also secretly picked up a piece of dough and learned to wrap it, but it turned out that she did not have this talent. Her sharp claws always pierced the dough and wrapped it out. The dumplings came in all kinds of weird shapes, with the meat fillings exposed, but she couldn't get enough of them.

Master Wang glanced at the pile of unknown objects in front of her, and said with some disgust: "You are so stupid, you can eat it by yourself when the time comes!"

Hearing Master Wang call her stupid, the mutant suddenly bulged her mouth and seemed very angry. She reluctantly continued to make a few more. She put down the dumplings and angrily put the dumplings she had made in a small basket, and then carried them with one hand. The little basket, dragging the chair with one hand, left Wang Shishi's side, walked to Luo Yan and Luo Yu's position, and gestured to them to make room for her.

The two women didn't mind and enthusiastically moved the seats, and then the mutant placed the chair between them.

Wang Shishi was not the only one who could play with her now. Compared with Wang Shishi who often said bad things about her, Luo Yu and Luo Yan were her best friends. She jumped up on her seat and gave Wang Shishi a proud look, attracting Wang Shishi's attention. A cold snort!

However, mutants are naturally restless, and they only have three minutes of enthusiasm for whatever they do. After only doing it for a while, they ran out of patience. However, in order not to be laughed at by Master Wang, she still fidgeted and continued to work. Fortunately, the footsteps outside The sound saved her in time. Her slightly pointed ears turned slightly like a rabbit, and she immediately jumped down from the chair and rushed outside like lightning.

"It should be Luo Yuan." Looking at the mutant who disappeared without a trace, Huang Jiahui said with a smile.

"It's daddy who's back!" Luo Fan confirmed. The ears of several of their clones were sharper than others, and among all the clones, only the mutants could barely compare.

Sure enough, after a while, Luo Yuan walked into the door, and the mutants behind him followed suit!

"dad!"

"dad!"

Several people and their children quickly stood up to say hello, with well-behaved expressions on their faces.

Luo Yuan nodded with a smile, put a cardboard box in his hand on the ground, and took off his coat. Luo Yu immediately took it attentively, hung it on the hanger, and then asked expectantly: "Dad, what is this?"

"Well, a New Year's gift for you!" Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"What gift?" Luo Yu hugged Luo Yuan's arm and said coquettishly.

Luo Yuan calmly took out his arm. In the past two years, these people have grown at an alarming rate. Now they have become teenagers and girls, especially the two daughters. They had their menarche half a year ago. It is already inappropriate to be so close to each other.

He took out a gift box from the carton with specially made festive packaging, and then handed it to Luo Yu: "Open it and you'll know!"

"Dad, I want it too!" Luo Yan also shouted immediately.

"Yes, everyone has one!"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the mutant hissed at the side to remind her impatiently!

Luo Yuan touched her head funnyly: "Of course I can't forget you?"

Next, Luo Yuan distributed gifts to everyone, even Ye Qiuyu got a share.

After Luo Yu opened it, he found something similar to a pair of contact lenses inside, with a bottle of cleaning fluid inside. But even without thinking, he knew that these were definitely not contact lenses: "Dad, what is this?"

"The latest portable micro-quantum computer, you can wear it on your glasses and turn it on with your thoughts." Luo Yuan explained roughly: "It can connect to the network, conduct remote communication, and has environment detection and analysis functions. Its computing power is no less than The previous generation was weak, well, it has some other functions, so you’ll have to read the manual.”

"It's no fun to connect to the Internet." Master Wang muttered secretly.

As the military and political leader of a totalitarian society, Luo Yuan and Luo Yuan's family members are naturally the most important service recipients of the Logistics Department. Almost every once in a while, new high-tech products are delivered as special supplies, such as quantum computers, Wang Shishi's bedroom There are all versions from the first generation to the third generation, so of course he is no stranger to the Internet.

Speaking of the current Internet, Wang Shishi is really disappointed. It is far from being compared with the vast and wonderful Internet before the end of the world. It is as simple as a campus LAN, not to mention that there are only a few websites in it, and the number does not exceed one. Hundreds, even if we talk about dozens of websites, most of them are academic journals and the like, and the rest are also news or educational websites. For ordinary people, almost no one will browse them, but games, videos, etc. The website is hard to find at all, and its entertainment value is almost non-existent.

Even the communication software is mediocre. Apart from the basic communication functions, all commercial and entertainment items have been stripped away. The interface is so simple that it makes you want to send a few metal knives to the developers.

But even so, Wang Shishi couldn't wait to put the microcomputer that looked like contact lenses on her glasses. She was an avid electronic product enthusiast. Even if she didn't have much entertainment, she still spent a lot of time on the Internet, browsing the latest news, or After reading some interesting e-books, she put on her microcomputer, blinked her eyes, and found that she could hardly feel anything strange.

"Hey, why are you turning on the phone?"

But as soon as the thought came to an end, Master Wang was surprised to find that his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, it's controlled by brain waves!" She recalled the operation method Luo Yuan just mentioned.

The light was not dazzling and was quite soft. In just a blink of an eye, the microcomputer had already started up. Immediately, she couldn't help but take a breath. This was a classic picture of blue sky and white clouds. It was as lifelike as a real picture, which made her feel... It gives you an immersive feeling, as if you have returned to the earth before the disaster.

Fortunately, she was not a sad person, and she soon began to continue to explore. She found that the transparency of the picture in front of her could be automatically adjusted. When the transparency reached 50%, it would not affect her walking at all.

It is extremely easy to operate. As long as there are clear thoughts, the response is very sensitive and there are almost no errors or omissions. At the same time, some unconscious thoughts will be automatically blocked without affecting the operation.

People's distracting thoughts are constantly being produced and destroyed every moment. If it is too sensitive, it will not be able to be used unless the user condenses his will.

Wang Shishi also found several movies inside, all of which she had watched before. She chose one of them to see the immersive effect of this miniature brain. After all, since the pictures have this effect, the video is obviously Should be stronger.

The next moment, she felt a strong sense of picture impact. She felt as if she had directly entered the virtual world of the movie. Compared with it, the three-dimensional screen was completely scum.

At this time, Master Wang suddenly felt disgusted: "It's a pity that there are no games. It's such a waste of such a high-tech product."

This kind of portable computer is an initial attempt by the computer research department to create mankind's own personal portable terminal by drawing on the portable personal terminal of the Bolsians.

Some pioneering achievements have been applied, especially the brain wave control technology. There is no technical information from the Bo Xing people to learn from. It is a technology developed by human beings themselves.

Perhaps for Bosing Technology, this technology has long been eliminated. Compared to their personal terminals, which are directly connected to biological brain nerves and can create a real virtual network that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, similar to a brain in a vat. The level of science and technology between them is almost a dimension apart.

But in any case, this is the first time that human beings have broken away from the technological constraints of the Bosnians and independently developed technology, which has huge practical significance.
