Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 159 Where Are We?
Yuanze was a little worried and went back to Zhu Yi's home.

His father had fully recovered in less than two hours and was now cooking in the kitchen.

Since it has come to this, Yuanze has no other reason, so he just listens to Zhu Yi and stays here for a meal.

Zhu Yi's father Zhu Jianbin is very talkative. He is very grateful to Yuanze for helping his family.

He said that he felt very happy having lived like that from the beginning of the catastrophe to now.

At that time, the thing people talked about most was whether they could survive the next day.

But now, being able to have a drink every day and chat about family matters with colleagues were luxuries that used to happen.

Zhu Jianbin also said a lot of other things, but did not mention anything bad about being in power, and he even felt that their lives were difficult.

They led a relatively stable life, even got married and had children.

Speaking of this, he was so happy that he kept praising their great achievements.

Indeed, Yuanze has read a lot of information, and the man who stood in the first mechanical city in 2049 was indeed a hero, but he does not represent others, let alone the future of others.

However, he had obviously drunk too much, and he dragged his son and Yuanze to become sworn brothers. Fortunately, Yuanze and Zhu Yi were still sober and did not cooperate with him.

"This child is not good in any way. It is a blessing to meet a classmate like you. You have to take good care of him."

"Alas, I don't believe that. I have very picky tastes. All of my friends are rare geniuses."

"Yes, yes, you are right." Zhu Jianbin touched Yuanze's glass, "I said something wrong, so I will drink a glass as punishment."

"I am old, I can't work anymore, I can't drink anymore, my brain can't keep up with the times, but you are the pillars of the motherland, the sun is shining at 7:30."

"Yes, yes, but you are still strong and healthy. It is not easy to support this family."

"No, it's a pity that my wife is gone. She is the one who understands my strength."

Yuanze smiled. It seemed that he was also drunk and his words were irrelevant.

However, Zhu Yi had also heard of his mother, who was a female programmer who disappeared after the last beast tide.

There is a high probability that he died unfortunately. This beast tide is a devastating disaster for ordinary people.

But when it comes to this, most ordinary people will only hate the source beasts, thinking that they are the ones who caused their families to be destroyed.

Zhu Jianbin is of course no exception.

If some people are lucky enough to become source warriors, they will blame all their anger and misfortunes on them.

All information available to the outside world is disseminated in this way, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

The environment in which everyone lives has been carefully designed, and those who realize the problem become the most miserable people.

This reminded Yuanze of a fragment of a book written by a man named Zhou Shuren that he had seen in the database. It went something like this:
"If there is an iron house without any windows and it is impossible to destroy, and there are many people sleeping inside, they will soon suffocate to death, but they will die from their sleep and will not feel the sorrow of dying..."

"Go back to your room and sleep." Zhu Yi saw Yuanze looking thoughtful and thought he was drunk too.

"Nothing, maybe a little drunk."

Yuanze tidied his father up, carried him to the bed, put his head on the side of the pillow, lay on the bed, covered himself with a quilt, and left.

Late at night, he was walking on the road, his steps unusually slow.

Yuanze recalled the three completely different experiences today and felt mixed emotions.

I originally wanted to relax, but I didn't expect that I would feel so depressed after a day.

The hooligans and ruffians live a life of mediocrity and cowardice, full of meanness and filthiness, despised by everyone, yet they enjoy themselves.

The boss that everyone fears, everyone sees the surface of him, but they don’t know that he is always pursuing the truth about his other half, trying to deny his own sins.

Ordinary people can keep moving forward and strive to obtain their own happiness throughout their lives, even if they live in difficult situations. Perhaps everyone has their own life and their own sufferings, so we should not judge others easily.

Suddenly, Yuanze had a new understanding. Buddhism says that the current situation and suffering are determined by past actions (karma).

But it does not say that this "karma" is caused by oneself, it may also be brought to oneself by others.

Then, as a capable person, you should actively help those who are surrounded by the karma of others to overcome their suffering and punish the evildoers.

Like the people of Shaolin, they combine Zen and martial arts, and cultivate both inside and outside.

At the moment of enlightenment, Yuanze's mental strength became stronger and stronger, and all the chronic illnesses in his will disappeared.

He felt that if there was an instrument that could test mental strength, then it should have surpassed the concept of a warrior and reached the planetary level.

His own perception has also been greatly improved. In the "flow" state, he can observe the flow of liquid in the trachea and sieve tubes of the plant without even deliberately perceiving it.

Even in this state, the brain automatically uses bright colors to identify different organelles and flowing fluids in order to highlight the physiological activities inside the plant.

With just this fully materialized mental power, he can sweep away any enemy below the Nirvana level. The only drawback is that he can drain the source power of all cell nuclei at once.

Once it is defended, there is no follow-up.

But there was more to make Yuanze happy. The gene chip connected to the nervous system also began to adapt and change. It was just that the magnitude of the change was so slow that it could not be felt for the time being.

"Wow, this is so cool! Your automatic prompt can save a lot of computing power."

The nervous system of Astra's "second self" attached to Yuanze has also been greatly improved.

What she couldn't believe was that her projection actually had the unique touch of humans.

"Is this what the real world feels like? This is unbelievable, this is simply..."

Astra patted Yuanze lightly, then hid to see Yuanze's condition, and Yuanze actually reacted.

"Hahaha, from now on I can slap whoever I want, and you can't stop me."

"I'm speechless. You actually thought of this use first."

"Lululu, if you make me unhappy in the future, I can deal with you."

Yuanze shook his head with a wry smile and didn't intend to argue too much with Astra about this matter.

The rest of the journey was joyful, filled with the laughter of Yuanze and Astra.

The two guys played and fought like this and returned to the base in the Haisheng Building.

Li Haisheng is still leading his team in scientific research, and the researchers around him are also working hard.

It was not until two or three o'clock, when Li Haisheng saw off the last researcher, that he looked up and saw Yuan Ze outside the laboratory.

"How was your day?"

"Very good, very satisfied, very happy."

"Oh, you are the same as me."

"You've been busy so late today, what new things have you come up with? Let me take a look."

"I think we have found a way to release the potential. We need to transform the lysosomes and mitochondria at the same time, so that we can release some of the potential in battle. I will send it to you when it is perfected."

"A word is settled!"

Yuanze has found the path to becoming a strong man today, which is to follow the path that he thinks is right.
