Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"What did you do?" Cahill was also a little creepy, Lao Xia was telling a story, and the vast majority of people in the Star Alliance were far from old age and death (it is only around the middle and late 22nd century, the oldest The experimenter was a little over 100 years old), but she is a real immortal, which is related to her own life and death, so she has to care about it.

"As I just said, we established his genetic information library to reconstruct the genetic replication errors of cells. You can understand that we identified a 20-year-old human being as a sample, and then referred to this sample. For his cells Carry out reconstruction and repair, so that the replication error rate of its somatic cells is kept in an ideal environment, so that there will be no accumulation of replication errors and cell coordination errors, that is, human aging.

"And then there's what we call the first disconnect, the nerve and the physical disconnect"

"Tell me"

"The lifespan of the nervous system is far longer than that of most body tissue cells. We did not adjust the nervous system at the beginning, so the nervous system that has gradually aged and accumulated errors and the body that is still at its peak are misplaced, just like the old engine belt. It is in the same condition as a brand new vehicle”

"Moreover, the past experience and life of human beings have left indelible marks on the nervous system and body, just like muscle memory, and our repair surgery means completely destroying muscle memory, and the accumulated neurological Memory and procedural memory start to become disconnected from body tissue that has no muscle memory"

"The consequences will probably be problems like cramps, shaking hands, and inability to control the body."

"Yes, and then we calibrated the nervous system" It's not difficult, the Star Alliance has accumulated a lot of technology in this area, "then something more terrifying happened"

"The part of your personality and memory that you know can't be moved. If you move, there is no guarantee that you will still be you. However, the nervous system and body are in tune after calibration, and then your entire nervous system is out of tune with your personality."

Aging of human beings is a biochemical process as well as a spiritual process. Past experiences and the endocrine and neuro-memory systems gradually changed by aging together shape the psychology and mentality of an old man. In other words, his personality software is suitable for this hardware.

Then now you restore the continuous hardware to the new version, the software is not suitable, the new endocrine and nervous system will make your mentality and cognition change from the hardware, and this will conflict with your past cognition

.Because young people's ability to accept and recognize a thing is very different from that of old people. This is not only a psychological problem, but also a physiological reason, so there is a conflict between hardware and software. Errors pile up to exceed the processing limit of the personality part of the brain, and the brain just sends.

"Of course, this can be done by being stuck from the beginning, he will not have this cognitive change." Kelsey proposed a solution.

"It is possible, but memory and experience will indeed change some of the physiological characteristics. In this case, it will become a state like Rosemary, repeatedly overwriting and reconstructing memories, and then the person will be confused, and the whole person He's gone crazy, it's hard to say he's still alive now."

Although the experiments and progress of the Star Alliance are still advancing, no one is willing to accept this imperfect longevity technology. Therefore, Lao Xia is very curious about how Kelsey, an immortal, can achieve this. .

"I have a guess, I don't know if it is accurate or not, maybe you can refer to it" Kelsey thought for a while, "You may not realize that the long-lived and the short-lived are not the same thing, or you have I realized it, but you must put the consciousness or cognition of a short-lived person into the body of a long-lived person."

"It's like stuffing a floating body that can only live for one day into the human body. The long time is a terrible impact on it, and what you want to do is not to make the mayfly and the human body more thoroughly combined——but It is to make the mayfly no longer be a mayfly”

"Well, it makes sense, but the plan you mentioned is impossible." The human beings of the Covenant Alliance are probably pure in ideology. Simply put, they insist on their part as human beings.

And what Kelsey said is very reasonable. The way of cognition and perception of the long-lived life, especially the time perception itself is very different from the short-lived species. The body can only continue to accumulate conflicts, but dies faster than normal people.

"Then, as a long-lived species, then..."

"Don't think too much," Kelsey spit, "I do have a big difference from ordinary Terrans in terms of time and partial perception, which are also the characteristics of those 'gods', but other parts are the same. "

"How did you do it?"

"Maybe it's a regular hibernation?"

"Sleeping?" Lao Xia didn't quite understand.

"Well, let me make an analogy, how long does it take for a person to go crazy if they don't sleep?"

"A week, if not dead."

"Well, then, for human beings, it is necessary to ensure at least 4 hours of sleep, that is, sleep takes up one-sixth of the life, but you have made a long-lived species, how long is his sleep time? His day is Your year, that is to say, he needs to sleep for at least 2 months every year, so that the body, consciousness and thinking can re-match and repair the link”

"Your method is like letting a person rest for 10 seconds every minute, and then stay up all year. I think it's no problem." Kelsey complained, "Of course, this is a metaphor, you just get the meaning .”

"Forget it, I'm not in charge of this project, and we have basically decided to give up this project." The main reason is that there are too many requirements, resulting in many mutually exclusive results, so let's just forget it—especially the longevity experiment The funny result of body life shorter than normal people is enough to make investors collectively withdraw their funds.

"I can't do it this way?"

"No, as soon as you wake up, Terra civilization will become ruins. The effect may be the same or even worse when we wake up." Lao Xia complained, and gave Kelsey and all the Terran people who survived back then With a powerful mind blast, Lao Mao Mao's face immediately turned black.

Chapter 77 Why is it only [-]%?

In autumn, there are two major events. The first is the autumn harvest. A large amount of labor is requisitioned. The front line is almost purely consumed without any output. It has to rely on the export of agricultural products and raw materials to earn Longmen coins to buy some necessary materials and supplies. parts to alleviate the problem of labor shortage.

In this case, considering the loss of transportation and the loss of the front line due to the enemy's small-scale counterattack, in fact, New Kazdale's food reserves are plummeting, and the autumn harvest can fill this gap very well .

In addition, Lao Xia's daughter has finally developed in the artificial womb to the age where she can be "born". To be honest, this way of giving birth really opened the eyes of the people of Terra, including Kelsey.

The first thing a newborn needs to do is to adjust the symbiont. Although the symbiont can be inherited from the parents, in order to avoid accumulating errors during repeated replication iterations, which will eventually lead to serious accidents, the first thing for each generation of newborns before birth is to It is to adjust the symbiosis.

According to the standard copy, the abnormal variants and replication errors that have been produced are corrected and calibrated, and of course, iterations and upgrades are also included.

The newborn was not good-looking, it was wrinkled like a little monkey, "It's so ugly~" Yelena poked the little sister's cheek, and the latter wriggled her mouth and vomited a bubble, seeming to be very well-behaved.

"Put it in the incubator for calibration." Lao Xia asked the little tiger to put the newborn in the incubator. A constant temperature incubator is more suitable for the life of a newborn child. Then the mechanical arm pierced her arm, before crying out. Approximately 15 milliliters of calibration fluid is injected into the blood vessel.

"Okay, next is the name, do you have a good idea?" Lao Xia looked at the little tiger, who looked at him with the same blank eyes. Obviously, neither of them had a good name.

"Elena, do you have an idea?"

"Ah? Why do you ask me?" The white rabbit lying on the side of the thermostat showed a confused expression, "Why don't we keep it simple and call it Qiu? It happens to be born in autumn~"

"Xiaqiu? Where is Chundong?" This was Lao Xia's first reaction, "Okay, it feels pretty easy, do you have a better idea?" Naming is really the number one thing for all new parents. The problem is that most of the names that sound good and have good meanings have already been called badly by others, but if you want to be independent, it may become a psychological shadow for the child's life, which can be as bad as a dictionary.

"I think it's okay. After all, there is also a meaning of harvest. You are engaged in agriculture, which seems to be very lucky."

"Ah? Ask me? I have no objection." The killer whale is addicted to poking the face, and is being watched by the child's mother. "You can call it whatever you want, the name is just a code name."

"Why don't you call it Dalabon... oops." The ghost shark was brought down and dragged away, "If you can't speak, don't speak!"

"I also think Yelena's idea is good, a simpler name is easier to support"

"Why are you so superstitious?" Kelsey looked at the doctor.

"No way, if you look up every day and see a big bomb hanging on your head that will explode in advance at an unknown time, you will also become superstitious." The doctor spread his hands, "At this time, I have to say, Metaphysics and superstition are still useful, at least you can show the courage to live a new day, instead of finding a gun to shoot yourself.”

"Then call it Xia Qiu." Lao Xia registered Xiao Qiu's name in PNIS, and her genetic symbiont would use the registered name of her parents as an electronic signature, and it would be much more troublesome to modify it.

"By the way, does she drink milk?" Yelena asked a soul question, which made the thin-skinned little tiger blush.

"Generally speaking, breast milk is recommended." Kelsey looked at the little tiger, and looked around critically, "It shouldn't be a big problem, just pay more attention to your diet, although you don't need confinement due to in vitro development , however, some flora and specific antibodies will enter the newborn's body with breast milk."

"This issue is not important, she has a symbiont, but this is indeed a good way to improve the relationship between mother and child." The doctor also added solemnly.

"You all go out!"

"Eh? Do I want it too?" The little killer whale, who was addicted to sucking young human cubs, looked confused.

"Yes, you want too, don't poke your face all the time, you'll drool!"

"Oh." The little killer whale left disappointed.

At the same time, Tracys arrived at his new headquarters in Kazdale in the south. The good news is that those dragging nobles are gone. The bad news is that it also means that the forces under his command are out of balance. The farmers and factory owners in the south The forces cannot be contained at all, and they have already shown a tendency to coerce the Teresis regime.

If it weren't for the pressure from the Yankees to increase day by day, they would immediately fall into serious internal strife. Even so, internal strife became extremely frequent.

With such frequent political strife, all kinds of government affairs will naturally become chaotic and corrupt, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes will increase day by day. After all, the army in the south is maintained by money. With sufficient military pay, at least the basic morale can be maintained and will to fight.

And once the money is gone, it may collapse faster than the nobles' retainers and private troops. For this reason, they have to continuously increase taxes and various means of squeezing, coupled with the dumping of grain in the north, the situation in the entire southern countryside is already bad almost impossible to survive.

"Father, find a way!" The young people in the village surrounded the old village head, "According to this, we will almost have no food next year!" As far as food is concerned, it is more cost-effective to collect money from the Yankees to buy food and support soldiers, but the key is that the dumping of grain by the Yankees has caused the purchase price on the market to plummet.

Of course, the selling price has not changed much. Those grain merchants unite to monopolize this business. War is war, business is business, right?It is obvious that every town in the south is struggling with half-starvation, and under the impact of cheap grain from the north, the purchase price of agricultural products has dropped again and again, but the grain store is still under the sign of limited sales, and the price is skyrocketing.

"With so much money, it's not enough for us to sell all the grain. Why don't we ask the master who came to collect the grain?"

"It's useless, I've been there." The village head looked exhausted, "Right now, I can only find a way to survive. Anyway, this year's harvest is not bad. If I borrow another sum of money, maybe next year... "

"The loan sharks are not easy to borrow."

"How about we find a way to transport things into the city to sell? I heard that the price in the city is good. Maybe there will be some money left after selling it?" Another middle-aged man said. He has a child. I work in the city, and I heard that the price of food there is quite high.

"That's great, so what are you waiting for, I'm going to set up the car!"

"Stop, you know nothing!" The village chief hurriedly stopped the reckless young man, "Let's not talk about how much the gatekeepers charge when entering the city, do you know how many wild robbers there are along the way? Last month, the river The nearby village was just looted, you forgot? With such a large pile of things, you were robbed before you even reached the gate of the city!"

"We can hire..."

"Fart, where did we get the money? Besides, those mercenaries are not the same as before." Those who kept their promises and had good combat effectiveness in the past all went to the army. I still like the three melons and two dates in this small village.

"This... How about we go and try it out? First, bring something to try, if it can be sold... There are fewer people and fewer things, so it shouldn't be so conspicuous."

"Let's do it this way." However, things are not that simple. These "wild thieves" are not all wild thieves. If these people are allowed to transport things to the city for retail at will, bypassing the exploitation of those big grain stores, it is tantamount to Cut off their financial resources, so even a little bit of supplies will soon be reported to the bribed eyeliner, and then...

All were looted and people were killed, which immediately plunged the village into chaos and despair.

It's just that it is also cutting off people's wealth, after all, some people do it more thoroughly.

"Listen to me!" The thin, middle-aged man climbed onto a pile of wooden boxes, surrounded by scrawny villagers, his face was full of despair and numbness, "The old men in the city have increased the tax this year. Twice, and next year’s payment will be collected in advance, a total of 6 silver coins, 6!!! If we take away every grain in our village, we will still owe it!”

The reason why there are so many is that a large amount of land is not in the hands of the villagers, but in the hands of those big farmers, but the names of these people are still on the land deeds that have not been renewed for a long time. In other words-the output has nothing to do with them, Taxes are spread on them and they need to pay them. Those big landlords do not pay taxes.

"The only way right now is to fight with them. We won't pay a penny for this year's tax. If they come to collect the tax, we will beat them out!" However, most of the villagers below were indifferent, just watching numbly Some of him, who were slightly moved, were held back by others.

Middle-aged people can’t arouse everyone’s emotions when they see these statements. In other words, it’s not that they haven’t tried to resist taxes, and then these people have become martyrs and their villages will be burned, and people always have luck. If you haven't come to ransack the house with dog legs, then hope that there is no such thing, or that the old man will show kindness when it comes to the end.

"Those people are nothing to be afraid of. Think about those people in the north. I heard that they only pay [-]% of the tax, and the remaining [-]% is all their own. They can eat porridge every day and have enough money every month. Eat meat, meat!"

For these people who have endured hunger and thirst for a long time, this word quickly aroused a strong reaction, and the throats of everyone in the audience began to squirm.

"Besides, the northerners beat these masters back from the other side of the mountain. They are just a bunch of mud legs. If they can do it, so can we."

In order to maintain morale and basic stability, the news organizations controlled by Tracys certainly would not say that they were blown away by the heavy weapons on the opposite side, and their souls were blown out of their bodies, but they were rendered as a group of people. The mob has no quality to speak of. Once it enters the south, it will cause chaos in several provinces and make people miserable.

It was originally used to intimidate the people not to communicate and seek refuge with the Yankees. It was even said that the northerners relied on catching slaves to go to factories until they were exhausted to death or threw them on the battlefield as cannon fodder, etc.

This certainly prevented quite a few ordinary people from taking refuge with doctors. After all, in this era when everyone was not well-educated, what the authorities said was what they said, and such rumors spread quickly.

However, this propaganda war has been reversed at this moment. The Yankees are a group of bandits and mobs, and they drove the army of the gentlemen back from the north. Then my people are definitely not as powerful as those gangsters, but they may be united. Can it really resist the encirclement and suppression of the masters?After all, gentlemen still have to guard against those barbarians, don't they?

As for the "happy life" of the northerners, he made it up purely based on the front-line news and Tracy's propaganda, and it was basically the happiest state he could imagine in his life.

After all, Tracys can't really say that the doctor's side is eating bran and drinking water, that can't explain the fact that he was beaten black and blue, and he can't really talk about the living conditions there, otherwise his troops might surrender to the enemy on the spot half.

Therefore, after downplaying the economic construction of the North and attributing it to the shameless assistance from Ursas and other foreign forces, these slightly educated people at the bottom quickly made up the life of the northerners based on these news. Several strange-minded people interpreted the information from another direction.

"We are also Sarkaz. We are born warlocks. The northerners beat the lords to their heads and run away with their numbers. As long as we unite enough people, we can do it!"

In fact, it is very difficult. What really depends on the number of people is Tracy's side. So far, the doctor's side has only two armies that add up to 7 divisions. Adding reserves and recruits in training, there will be no more than 15 divisions. The total strength of the army, and almost most of them were restrained to restore order in the occupied area, and only less than 2 divisions could really use the combat effectiveness of the offensive.

Finally, stimulated by the information, the numbness on the faces of the villagers was gradually replaced by fanaticism and excitement. After all, a lot of information is available even in relatively isolated villages. Who doesn’t have many young people conscripted to fight? ?

Soon, they found out the farm tools, and cooked the food that had been reserved for tax payment. After a full meal, and with some strength, they went around the village according to the "despicable northerners" in the news. Under the guidance of "cunning tricks", digging pits and building roadblocks, preparing for a violent tax resistance.

Then, it didn't last long before being suppressed by the regular army that was called in, but the failure didn't scare more people, on the contrary, it made many people, perhaps those who had nowhere to go, or those who were ambitious, saw hope—if a village If the rebellion and resistance in the country require the use of the army, it means that the local security forces or the servants of the lords can no longer handle it.

In other places, the forces that are more troublesome to grain merchants and factory owners are constantly growing, that is, the real wild bandits. They make a living by plundering business trips and collecting protection fees from certain villages. , but now the problem came, these villages had no money left, and they even went to seek refuge with the wild bandits themselves.

There are fewer and fewer fat sheep that can be hunted, and the number of their own groups is increasing. In the end, they must focus on those more valuable targets, that is, the farms and small cities of big farmers, as well as those transporters. Large caravans online.

"Boss, find out, the convoy will pass here in three days, it's all good wheat!"

"Very good, let everyone go to ambush in the local area, the young and strong will be given meals, and the women's camp will be halved." The supplies looted before were opened, and meals were distributed to all the young and strong who participated in the war, while the wives and children who were imprisoned or coerced Then they gave out half of the meal, which was a bit of a sigh of relief, which gave the cannon fodder of the main battle a little bit of morale.
