Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 594
Xiang Shan couldn't help but opened his eyes, and returned to the time and space more than 200 years later.

He was squeezing on an electric flatbed with two knights, Jadl and Kane.The flatbed truck was driving in a long and narrow tunnel.The tunnel is just wide enough to accommodate the flatbed.The walls of the tunnel are slightly curved.Every time a certain distance is passed, the arc will change slightly-this is to prevent enemies from entering the tunnel, and then the long-range weapons will directly attack.

Pull a wire to the mountain and connect it to the motor of the flatbed truck.

This tunnel was also prepared by the Earth Drilling Dragon long ago.

After staying in the empty green forest village for a few days, Kane left that place with Jardl and Xiangshan, wearing camouflage nets, crawling all the way through the blocked area.Relying on his understanding of the surroundings and Xiang Shan's excellent internal strength, the group avoided all battles and broke out of the encirclement.

Afterwards, Kane led the two to find an underground mining area run by the Earth-drilling Dragon.

This was left by another group of Digger Dragons decades ago.

By the way, this is a coal mine.Canada was once a major exporter of coal.

While digging for coal sounds weird in the age of cyberpunk, there are a few burrowers who do mine the mineral.After coal is liquefied into aviation kerosene, it is a fuel with a high calorific value, which can even support the supersonic motion of a ramjet engine.Compared with liquid hydrogen, aviation kerosene is more stable, easier to store, and better to control output.

This is still attractive to melee fighters.

For many people who are not outstanding in external skills but choose to install vector injectors because of their own martial arts, aviation kerosene can be regarded as "reserve supplies".

Of course, asylum seekers would never use kerosene.And it's not just because it's cheap and easy to use.For patrons, every piece of coal is a fossil material.

They would rather take a completely "environmental protection" approach, produce hydrogen from water electrolysis with photovoltaic panels, or directly produce methanol and downstream chemical products through electrical energy synthesis.

In this tortuous underground alleyway, the three knights relaxed their tense nerves for several days, and after maintaining basic vigilance, they let the conscious subject fall asleep.

Naturally, Xiang Shan continued to read that memory.

The subject of this memory seems to be Lu Xuanyu.Lao Lu didn't play a big role in Xiang Shan's life.Lao Lu can be regarded as his friend, and he also served as a "private bodyguard" for a period of time [of course, it is more "promotional"], but he is not as close as other friends.

But the 50s and [-]s when he and Xiang Shan made friends were the most important years in Xiang Shan's life.

Many relatives and friends of Xiangshan's generation passed away during this period.He also lost important friends at this point in time.

At the same time, this is also the era of human "technological soaring" and rapid development.The technological revolution has become a daily occurrence.The business of Superman Enterprises is also like flowers blooming, and fire cooking oil.It was during this period of time that this research and development company grew into a monster capable of controlling the world.

And the people who weaved "Xiangshan Memory Maze" also tried to restore this period of time from many different perspectives.

The fragments given by the Six Dragons to Dharma Protector Li Jiliu are from Lu Xuanyu's perspective, what a pure warrior who pursued "technology" and "expression" saw and heard during that period.

But this memory stimulated Xiang Shan too strongly, causing Xiang Shan's brain to "remember" more things.Another memory recorded by the Eighth Valkyrie surfaced like this.

It's an amazing feeling.From Xiang Shan's point of view, it was as if he was observing himself with a mirror broken into countless pieces.

In the memory just now, the part that does not belong to "Lu Xuanyu's perspective" comes from the legacy of the Eighth Martial God.

The main body of the memory of the Eighth Martial God is Zhu Xinyu, but Xiang Shan and Zhu Xinyu are not conjoined giant babies, and they will not stay together all the time.If you want to complete "Xiangshan's Life" according to the timeline, you will inevitably mix in things from other perspectives.

And the clue is "time".

The conversation between him, Nia Guti, and Yawgmoth happened on the day Lu Xuanyu had the operation.

He remembered this very clearly, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

And this conversation turned a new page for the times.

In the next few years, human beings burned resources worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and researched in accordance with the "plan C" proposed by Yawgmoth.

In 1985, the biological community launched the "Human Genome Project", which is considered to be an unprecedented huge project in this field.And the budget for this plan is only a mere $30 billion.

Even taking into account inflation from 1985 to 2045, Yawgmoth's "C plan" still burned dozens of times the money of the Human Genome Project.

The entire human race, countless countries, and countless scientific researchers are all affected by this huge project.

then……

It actually worked.

Sometimes Xiang Shan felt a little unbelievable.Although "hundreds of billions of dollars" itself is unimaginable, compared with this achievement, it seems a bit insignificant.Even on the day when Nia Guti informed everyone that "it was a success", Xiang Shan was still stunned with "what, it's over".

——Such an achievement only needs to burn hundreds of billions of dollars...

Xiang Shan pressed his head to suppress the rushing emotions.

Even after staying in this era without the concept of "economy" for several years, Xiang Shan can still realize the horror of this number.

The United States, a superpower, invests only 2000 billion U.S. dollars a year in the field of scientific research-this is shared by the entire country's scholars.

Naturally, it is not easy to get this money.

There have also been many negotiations and many struggles.

At that time, Xiang Shan gave full play to his ability as a manager, cut this large project into many small projects, and took some of them out for "trading" to establish a deeper cooperative relationship with scientific researchers around the world.The part that can produce "practical technology" is used to apply for national or public research funds—especially research related to AIDS and cancer.

Among other things, Yawgmoth's plan needs to understand all the proto-oncogenes used by the human immune system.And after researching this point thoroughly, the immune system-related cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia are fundamentally hit on the ground, and even many other cancers have treatment methods—using the method that Yawgmoth has completed once in the rest of the world. Just do it again on the proto-oncogene.

And HIV...the HIV that makes people talk about it.

It's fun to say.In fact, Yawgmoth's Plan A - "Accelerating HIV" is the easiest, least risky, and least expensive of the four plans.At least "accelerating the course of HIV" does not require hundreds of billions of dollars in R&D investment.

In the process of Yawgmoth's "plan C" research, HIV will become a disease that can be cured easily, and there is no need to fear at all.

But Yawgmoth designed plan C because everyone was afraid of plan A. [Before being seized by the Security Council, Yawgmoth was already designing Plan C. 】

A small number of people who are not suitable for using plan C due to objective reasons still choose plan A.

　That dialogue probably has the status of "Longzhong Dui" in the development history of Superman Enterprise, so the chapter name originally wanted to use the couplet of Chengdu Wuhou Temple "Two Biao Pays Three Gu" and so on.But the second half of the couplet is "a pair of feet for thousands of years", which is not suitable for Xiang Shan and the others. (However, this couplet is quite impressive. Emperor Zhaolie and Marquis Wu are indeed a rare match between monarchs and ministers in history.)
