Chapter 584
"This is……"

Really no joke.Lu Xuanyu saw the snow on the side of the road melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The most suitable temperature for metal-based organisms." Xiang Shan said: "It's more than fifty degrees. For Homo sapiens, this temperature is hotter than bath water. On the earth today, only the middle of the great desert can survive." With this temperature."

Lu Xuanyu's wife couldn't help but take a half step back.

"If you want to go in, please bring protective equipment - heat-insulating clothing, ice stickers and so on." Xiang Shan said: "Of course, I don't recommend you go in now. This park is for those who have completed genetic modification surgery." people prepared."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.The door is closed.

Xiang Shan said, "That's it."

Lu Xuanyu said: "You have made a lot... metal-based creatures? But, they won't come out, will they have any impact on the earth?"

"This question is a bit strange." Xiang Shan said: "A species can invade another ecosystem, the prerequisite is that the local environment is suitable for them to survive. But metal-based organisms are not suitable for the environment of the earth. Even in the middle of the Sahara Desert, Or the hottest places like Death Valley in California, for them, it's just a feeling of "summer is here". And the temperature difference between day and night in that place will kill them. Even in the Mesozoic era, the earth was not so hot Kind of place."

"Under the natural environment of the earth, metal-based organisms have no competitive advantage. Only by genetically modifying them to acquire hibernation-like abilities can they find a little living space in the desert."

Lu Xuanyu and his wife were silent.

"Now you should be able to understand the weight of 'species change' more intuitively." Xiang Shan shook his head: "There is still about two weeks of preparation before the formal operation. You can withdraw at any time until the operation begins. But I must remind you that once the operation is started, there is no turning back. There is no way to reverse this operation at present, and doing it halfway will only kill you."

Lu Xuanyu was silent for a few minutes before saying: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang. I will think about it carefully."

The couple watched for a few seconds outside the greenhouse.The monkeys inside eat the strangely colored fruit contentedly.No one would have imagined that they live at a temperature that can cook eggs or even meat.

Lu Xuanyu's wife asked: "Then if our old Lu wants to go out in the future..."

"Then you have to wear thicker clothes. It is also a good choice to carry an electric heater with you." Xiang Shan said: "I have entrusted a third-party organization to develop special electric heating clothing, which can allow benchmark people to go shopping in seemingly light clothes. Industry In this era, there is always no shortage of electricity."

A group of people then set off to the next place.Lu Xuanyu turned the wheelchair by himself, but found that his wife was a little behind.He stopped, looked back, and found that his wife was still looking at the greenhouse with a dazed expression.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xuanyu asked.

The wife shook her head: "I seem to understand what 'changing species' means now... a little... a little scary."

Lu Xuanyu was a little worried: "Do you not want me to continue... Well, it is true."

"No, this is an opportunity." The wife shook her head, "I just need a little mental preparation. The key is still on you."

The wife pushed onto Lu Xuanyu's wheelchair and caught up with Xiang Shan and Florence who were waiting in front.

The group continued to move forward.Suddenly, a loud noise echoed in the empty corridor.

Lu Xuanyu was a little strange, not knowing what happened.

After a while, several people in formal clothes walked through the corridor.Seeing Xiang Shan, they froze for a moment, then nodded in greeting, and walked away leaning against the wall.

Lu Xuanyu noticed that most of them were in their 60s or [-]s, well maintained, and their hair was gray.But I don't know why, the expression is very worried.

Xiang Shan nodded to them as well, and continued on his way.

Lu Xuanyu asked curiously: "Who are these people?"

"It may be from the Ministry of Health, or it may be from the Ministry of Science and Technology." Xiang Shan's tone seemed familiar, "Often, I come to inquire about the progress of research, or try to find various channels to sneak myself into volunteers. It is not surprising that there are all kinds of them.”

"what……"

"Remember what I told you last month? The Security Council passed a special resolution, prohibiting benchmarks from being elected candidates of any government agency before 2055, and prohibiting them from serving in the government system." Xiang Shan said: "This is actually the result of a compromise. By 2055, the old men can eliminate all young competitors and pave the way for the younger generation with peace of mind."

"And the young and powerful can resign from their political positions and wait for this operation to gain a longer life."

"It's just that the group of people caught in the middle is in a dilemma. They don't have much ambition to climb up. They live a good life, but they really feel the decline in physical fitness. This kind of people is the most afraid of death. Now There is a chance to get a longer lifespan. But they have to let go of what they have worked hard for all their lives. This group of people love to come here to inquire about the progress of research." Xiang Shan said: "Then, these people He is also very shy about talking to me. If he is accidentally accused of 'wanting to secretly transform into a reference person', it would be a mistake of principle."

They would only dare to speak to Xiang Shan in completely public or completely private situations.

Lu Xuanyu said: "I remember you said that some conservative people don't want this kind of change, right? Young people may not all be open..."

"But as long as you are a young man, you will be suppressed by the old man with such a reason. The reason is that he is still young, and he may resign at any time to have an operation." Xiang Shan said, "It is not easy for young people to be promoted. These are public Of course, no country will officially recognize the existence of the 'old faction' and the 'young faction'."

Lu Xuanyu felt a little heavy again. The invisible strife between the "old man" and the "young man" seems to be none of his business.But the matter was on his mind.

Even after reading the information provided by Xiang Shan, he didn't seem to have a perceptual understanding of "changing species".He just knew "oh, there are consequences".

But now, this fact has really hit him.

Florence put a hand on his shoulder: "You don't need to be confused about this matter, Mr. Lu. The boss needs to worry about this matter."

Lu Xuanyu looked at Xiang Shan's indifferent back, and sighed: "This is really something that only big people can worry about."
