Human on a Chip Project

When Chen Xuan came back that day, he felt that something was wrong with the one at home.

"problem occurs?"

"...Well, I did something that might affect you too. It's urgent and I didn't discuss it with you first, but I have to do it."

Chen Xuan listened attentively.

Nan Yiming recounted what he had seen and heard during the day.

"Then I had an idea. The man's injury was at the back of the head. Although it was very close to the chip, I saw that the chip was not damaged, at least it couldn't be seen from the trauma. I agreed with my mother-in-law to take out the chip. Sell ​​it and use the money to raise two children."

Chen Xuan stopped to eat, and asked admiringly, "You really did this?" It just occurred to me that this person had installed thousands of chips with his own hands, and it would be fine to take out the chips with his eyes closed.

"En." Nan Yiming looked down at his palm, as if there was still blood on it.

"You don't mean that after the death of the children's mother, you will be the guardian?"

I did think about it at the beginning, but the key is that my future is very dark, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive.

"My mother-in-law knows some people who take care of orphans who don't have chips, but it's not free."

"Aren't you afraid that the mother will spend all the money at once?"

"It's been negotiated, the money is in the hands of the mother-in-law, and the mother can use it if she needs it, but if you want too much, you have to tell the mother-in-law what to do, and there is a limit every year."

It doesn't seem right to take out the chip from the corpse of the husband and sell it, but not give the money to him.But everyone here, including the client, seemed to think the plan was good and immediately accepted it.Anyway, Nan Yiming just provided an idea, explaining the details and the conceivable consequences clearly. It is the family members who make the decision, and they will discuss and change it if they are unhappy in the future.

"Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will steal the money?" The price of chips on the black market is not a small sum.

"...This is the best way I can think of. I also asked two neighbors trusted by the family to testify. Besides, I don't think my mother-in-law would."

"Isn't it a good thing?" But he looked unhappy.

"Yes, give the two children a little hope." Nan Yiming smiled lightly, just a little hope. "But now, many people know that I can remove the chip, and even guess that I can install it. In the afternoon, someone asked my mother-in-law to find me for surgery."

Chen Xuan's mind immediately flashed with gold.He is not sure about the specific price of the chip installation operation, but it is said that it is more expensive than the chip itself, and a good surgeon is even more rare.

"...I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide your identity." Nan Yiming finished the second half of the sentence.The skill is too special, and it can save lives. Even if there are not many people who need to use it, it will definitely become the focus.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about it.

"Does this group know who you are today?"

"I cover my face all the time, communicate by hand, and no one knows where I live—as long as my mother-in-law doesn't tell me."

"Then push it. I have known my mother-in-law for many years, and she will not make trouble out of nothing."

"Push it, you will continue to work so hard, and you don't know how long you will save money. And even if the chip is successfully sold, the money to raise two children to adults may still be a bit small. If you do one operation, it is estimated that both sides That's enough."

"Then find a suitable opportunity, one that won't go wrong. Let them pay the deposit first, and pay it off immediately after the operation. We also make all preparations before that, and leave as soon as we are done."

"..." I thought very quickly.Nan Yiming was silent.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know if you understand, but I don't want to chip anyone."

Chen Xuan looked at Nan Yiming carefully, and realized that this guy was going around saying that he was here for comfort.But Nan Yiming probably didn't realize what he was doing at all.

After experiencing so many life-and-death events, Nan Yiming never showed even a little vulnerability in front of him.Chen Xuan's heart ached.He held Nan Yiming's hand and fiddled with it for a while with his head down.

It was a clean, beautiful hand, well manicured and maintained even after all the housework in the cold weather.The slender fingers are dexterous and powerful.

Chen Xuan thought, this hand really held the scalpel and installed the chip in the human brain.Having had that kind of personal experience, Nan Yiming may have a deeper sense of responsibility for chip people than other chip pioneers, and it is easier to blame himself for seeing the status quo.

It's a pity that Nan Yiming's original world was too far away from Chen Xuan, so he couldn't figure out the details, so he could only whisper, "I think I can. If I can, I also hope that this world doesn't have chips. However, it's not your fault that things turned out like this .”

The held hand froze for a moment, Nan Yiming was a little out of breath.He swallowed the fluid that suddenly came out of his nose, and said with a wry smile, "Not all, but not a little."

"You are a human, not a god. There are always things you can't think of, can't do, and can't control. Your original intention at the time was definitely not like this. Didn't you set up some association later to try your best to make things develop in a good direction? Tell me However, you did not create the chip alone, you did not promote it alone, and how to use it is not up to you. Besides, when the chip is universalized, you have been dead for several years. What happened later has nothing to do with you relation."

Why doesn't it matter?It's like the person who invented the way to obtain nuclear energy. He didn't expect that the blood would flow into rivers later. At most, he had good intentions at first.

But Nan Yiming didn't want to argue with Chen Xuan at all.

Ever since he came to this world and discovered how bad the things he had done had had bad consequences, this was the first time Nan Yiming heard a word of consolation and a word of justification for him.too precious.Although he didn't fully agree with it, he only wanted to keep Chen Xuan's words in his heart completely.

This incident hurt Nan Yiming too deeply. Even if it was comfort, he found that he couldn't bear much at once.

Chen Xuan wanted to continue persuading her, but Nan Yiming put on a smile and changed the subject like nothing happened.

Lying on the bed at night, Nan Yiming looked at the roof and asked, "How did you live when you were young?"

"I don't remember my father. My mother has a little memory, but very little. It seems that she disappeared after the age of four or five. There should be an older sister and a younger brother. They separated after entering school and never saw each other again."

"School is like an orphanage?"

"I don't know what an orphanage is. It should be similar. Anyway, everyone grew up in school. They eat, live and study in the same place."

"Will you miss your parents?"

"I don't even remember, what is there to miss?"

"..." Everyone has grown up like this, and they probably don't have any words or habits about their parents, and maybe they don't even have much emotion in this regard.

"But sometimes I dream about my mother, and I can't see her face clearly, but I know it's my mother. In my dreams, I always run to hug her tightly, and I feel very uncomfortable. After waking up, the feeling doesn't disappear for a long time, It's like losing something very important and favorite. That's one of my least favorite dreams."

Chen Xuan paused, as if trying to cheer up, and then said: "There are also my sister and my younger brother. When I was young, I often dreamed that we played together. Now sometimes I don't know whether it was real or it was just a dream. Whether it is true or not, That happiness seems to be even better than best friends. Now that dream is rare, and occasionally I still have it. When I wake up, I always feel that it would be nice to meet again. But I don’t remember their names or looks, let alone mention where Look for it. At this age, I’m afraid I’ll find it in the cemetery. Don’t you think it’s hopeless?”

Desperate indeed.Nan Yiming really wanted to hug him tightly.

"So you still have some good friends?" Say something happy.

"Yes. I grew up together, and I went through everything together. Heh, I was the most stupid one at that time. I would fight if I couldn't do anything. It is said that I have been out of school for many years. People still tell me about me. Hehe... Let me tell you, the person who became a high-level power later on is still afraid of me because of something happened when I was a child. Are you strong? They always say that I am like a cockroach, and I am particularly resistant. I'm alone...um."

Chen Xuan's tone darkened, "At that time, two of them were zero-level at the beginning... The rest, except for the first-level ones, seem to be almost dead now. The first-level few lived too hard, and they died earlier than us. After going out of school, I gradually lost contact with us. This world, huh, maybe it’s gone long ago. In fact, one of them is very smart. We all joked that his ability is to read books, but he couldn’t help it later. .Hey, don't do that!"

Nan Yiming still couldn't hold back, turned over and hugged him tightly.

"You are like this... Let me tell you, you are responsible for the one who came first!"

Afterwards, I still didn't take responsibility to the end——Nan Yiming made a start, Chen Xuan smiled and said I should do it.

Both of them were in a bad mood, and it was over after a quick fight.

The next morning, Nan Yiming felt itchy when he saw Chen Xuan's face full of spring, with a warm smile about to overflow his eyes.

The starting point of Mars seems to be fine.

It's like when I refused before, I started to have a certain attitude, and it's hard to change suddenly, unless there is a suitable event as a primer-like last night.Nan Yiming had the first time, and soon had the second time, and then adapted to the new balance.

Or don't think about it too much, it's good for both of them to be happy—yes, no matter how rationally Nan Yiming thinks it's wrong, it's true that he's happy in his heart.

He said to himself, didn't he give up, didn't he still stick to the bottom line?It's just too much pressure, and you need to adjust it physiologically.As a man, solving it by yourself is also solving it. Two people living together have needs to solve together at the same time. There is no essential difference.

Yes, Nantah scientists are particularly good at seeing things in their essence.

Chen Xuan felt that even though winter was coming outside, the flowers in her heart couldn't be stopped - probably it must be plum blossoms.Even though the branches are basically full of bones now, the prospect is very gratifying.

Residents in the shanty town found that the service attitude of the new electrician has suddenly stepped up to a higher level, humming a little song every day, and walking briskly, making people feel that no matter how many lemons life throws at you, you should think about how many sweet ones you can make lemon pie.

Happiness is the most important thing, what else do you want?

--------------------------------

Commander has always felt a little unreal these days.

He seemed to have changed since his last vacation.Even the comrades who were promoted together told him cryptically, don't do things too much, and save some face for the chief.

But he couldn't help it.

After reading the reports of J2 and K2, the officer said that there had been no accidents in the vicinity for a long time, and it was filed like other unexplained space vibrations, and the work returned to routine scanning and monitoring.

Back in the monitoring room, he opened his mouth and told his subordinates to keep two channels to continue monitoring S city.

It was simply not something he could do.

Not only did he order the export, but he couldn't help but check the records himself every day.Unfortunately, there has been no movement.

It stands to reason that this situation should have been given up as the officer said.The strange thing is that he just couldn't do it.Every time I think about it clearly, and I have to reset the monitoring area before walking to the detector, there is always an irresistible voice in my mind, telling him to wait.

At this moment, the commander angrily followed behind the inspector, struggling to find an excuse.

"Please explain why I didn't follow my order?" The officer almost gritted his molars and asked in public, pointing to the display screen that was still showing the data of City S.

Orders in the military are greater than life, not to mention in the intelligence department, a slight deviation is tantamount to treason.

"……this……"

"Call 'sir'!"

"Yes, sir, yes!" Reflexively, he clenched his heels together, straightened his body, looked forward, and saluted. "I want to be more cautious."

"Our duty is to protect national security, and your job is to ensure that space vibrations around the world are recorded without omission. You tell me, these days, how many resources is this machine wasting in City S? How big is the scope because Is this not being scanned or reduced scanning?"

"Yes! Sir! I will submit the report as soon as possible!"

"What the hell are you thinking?!"

The commander also wanted to clarify this issue very much.You can't even think of a valid reason for blatantly violating military orders?

"I don't know, sir!"

The body language of the surrounding subordinates facing the monitor made the cold sweat on his back even harder.

"Come with me." The officer gave him a gloomy look, and strode out of the control room to the office.

"You've been here for almost five years, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, take a break and sit down."

Set up a chair.

"In our line of work, very few retire. Do you know why?"

"I don't know, sir."

"Because work exceeds the psychological limit of most people. Needless to say, the pressure is not to mention, but people live in this prison-like place, and they must keep silent when they go out. Mental illness can be said to be a necessary condition for promotion to your class." The officer smiled derisively. "However, that must not be used as an excuse for violating orders. The space vibration monitoring you are responsible for must not make mistakes. Do you know why?"

"Yes, sir. Space vibration is a new phenomenon discovered two years ago. The cause is unknown, and the consequences can be extremely huge. Especially it may involve the stability of space in the theory of relativity. Violent vibration may cause space to be unstable or even collapse. Currently There is no clue that the space shaking event was caused by a certain organization, but the root cause needs to be found and eradicated as soon as possible-before someone uses this method to sabotage or even end human civilization."

"Very good. This job is too important." The officer turned his back to him and looked at the endless grassland through the window. "Maybe I didn't realize before that the normal management system is no longer enough. It's not your fault, but it's time for you to take a long vacation."

The commander looked at the officer in shock.He understood the meaning of "long vacation", and at the same time realized that the hand behind his back had been pressing the control button on the watch back and forth according to a certain pattern since he didn't know when.

There was no sentimentality in the barracks. In the afternoon, the commander carried the only travel bag and was driven by the guards to the nearest train station.

Trains passing through backcountry and crowded are antonyms.

Perhaps the officer was right, and he was afraid that he longed for a normal life so much that he wanted to sit across from the only other passenger in the car, even if that person had gray eyes that he hated.

Looking at the flying wilderness outside the window, his thoughts returned to the report from S City.The memory is so good, the data of several weeks flashed through my mind line by line as if it was printed out.

The professional skills and experience accumulated over the years are not deceiving. After a while, he realized that a certain corner of S City had a very small energy fluctuation for several weeks—the same type of energy as before the space vibration.

Because the fluctuation is too small, the system automatically regards it as noise.But if the long-term data are superimposed, only this area in S City has a slightly higher average energy data in the past week.

The difference is still too small, even if it is found out, it is still not convincing, but it is worth re-examining and cleaning the data, or changing the algorithm, maybe there is something.Alas, it's a pity that I thought of it a little late.

That was the Commander's last regret.

Passengers boarding the train at the next stop found his still warm body.

Later, the forensic medical examination concluded that the death was caused by a rapid heartbeat caused by extreme panic.
