geneticist

Yes, but they will not abuse them. Although the corruption of internal managers is inevitable, the support of the elderly is a sensitive topic after all. Too much embezzlement will damage the image of the government, so the various supplies here are not bad. complete.

The reason why the Golden Lion Hunting Group was established was entirely because these teachers couldn't stay idle.

Sucher silently looked around.

This partitioned restaurant can accommodate about four to five hundred people, and the food is automatically distributed by the spacecraft's intelligent system.A holographic screen is hung on the wall of the restaurant, broadcasting news from the Federation Central.Although there were some old people talking, it was quite quiet overall, and Sucher could even hear the sound of a spoon on the table next to the bowl.

This is not the kind of elegant silence in a high-end restaurant with soothing music fluttering, but a feeble decadence.

"I remember they were clamoring at the beginning to prepare the Interstellar Convoy Corps, the kind of mercenary regiment that specializes in exterminating interstellar pirates." The one-eyed old blender sitting opposite him stuffed a spoonful of limp porridge into his mouth , chatting with Sucher slowly, "But I didn't agree."

Sucher didn't speak, but took a mouthful of the synthetic nutritional porridge in the bowl, which was bland and completely unable to arouse people's appetite, and the surrounding atmosphere also made him not in the mood to eat.

At this moment, as if a drop of water fell into a frying pan, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the restaurant.Because of the dead silence before, this kind of quarrel seemed particularly inconsistent.

It was an old man two tables away from Sucher. Sucher recognized him as a member of the hunting group, a retired teacher.

The red-haired old man banged his fork vigorously, growling in dissatisfaction: "Is this something for people to eat? It's as thin as water. I want to eat meat, and I want to eat medium-ripe steak!"

The old lady who was in charge of checking the meal distribution system threw away her apron, put her hands on her hips, pointed at the teacher's nose, and cursed: "You old man, last time you insisted on eating roast chicken, but the last tooth was also smashed!" It’s knocked off, what’s the fuss now! Ah! Steak, steak, here’s steak, come, eat, eat you to death! You old bastard, you still have a few teeth left in your mouth, and you still eat steak!”

The more the old lady talked, the more she got angry, she just picked up the porridge spoon and made a gesture to beat up the teacher who made the mischief.

"Don't hit, don't hit!" The teacher hid aside while covering his face, and muttered, "I just changed my dentures, and I want to try my teeth, can you care?"

Suche turned his gaze back to the old blender, seeing that he was not surprised by the commotion, and lowered his head to hide his expression: "Your decision is wise."

"Actually, I don't think the physical condition of those seniors is suitable for such dangerous activities as creature hunting." After a while, Sucher finally couldn't hold back, and expressed his slander tactfully.

They are all old and old, and they still go to grab food from those young mercenaries, why bother?

The old blender smiled insightfully, and the loose skin at the corners of his mouth drooped: "What do you think of the food here?"

Su Che was stunned for a moment, the spoon in his hand that kept stirring the porridge bowl stopped, he thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "The taste is not very good, but I took a look, and they all come from quality-guaranteed big company."

The old blender swallowed a mouthful of the bland porridge, nodded and said: "The quality is okay, they are all specially developed foods for the physical condition of the elderly, but they are unpalatable, that's the problem."

"The federal government claims that these are the most healthy foods for the elderly to show the soundness and meticulousness of the federal pension system. However, if it was your grandpa, would you let him eat this kind of food three times a day?"

Sucher looked at the sticky synthetic porridge with disgust, and shook his head firmly.

The old blender continued: "Eating this kind of food may allow you to live as long as possible and reduce the possibility of getting sick as the government said, but you will lose the joy of enjoying delicious food. Similarly, according to the government's If we live in a well-arranged mode, we may be able to live longer, but what's the point of living alone like a corpse?"

"Aging is indeed a terrible thing." The old blender said slowly while thinking, "It is painful to watch my once vigorous body gradually become dry, but the most pitiful thing is the psychological one. weak."

"These old guys, who used to be brilliant genetic masters, are passionate and passionate. They may have a fight with others for a woman they met in a bar, and they were dragged by their brothers to continue drinking after their heads were broken. Maybe they were embarrassed and struggling. , but have never been afraid, but one day, they are old, and they will lie in bed for half a year if they fall, and young people who just avoid fighting may twist their waists. They suddenly become weak, and they may be so weak They have to be fed into their mouths by others, and they have to be urinated and defecated with the help of others. They have become a complete burden, which is more humiliating than death..."

As the old blender spoke, his eyes became a little distant.

"Some people on this ship actually have children to support them, but they would rather apply to come here and stay with a group of strange old men and women."

"Even today, human society is still cruel. In primitive times, the elderly would be abandoned by tribes that lacked supplies. Today, with highly developed civilization, we will not lack food, but we are still abandoned by society. The Ship of the Old Man What is the essence? It’s a cumbersome box, the old people are packed and thrown into it, and there are all the necessities for survival in it, and then these old people are repeatedly warned by those young people, stay there in peace and don’t make trouble for us!”

It took a long time for the old blender to recover from his emotions. He looked at Sucher and smiled gently: "Can you understand?"

Su Che pursed his lips and did not speak, a feeling of shame slowly crept into his heart.

He admitted that he was shocked by what the other party said just now.The emotion mentioned by the old blender is not difficult to understand, but Sucher has never considered it before. Like everyone else, he habitually ignores those old people who have a weak sense of existence.The old blender pointedly pointed out the selfishness of his just thinking.

"You are already old, why don't you stay honest and keep tossing?" There is another sentence hidden behind this sentence.

If you are like this, I will be tossed along with it, please be quiet and don't make trouble for me.

"I'm sorry..." Su Che said bravely. Although the other party looked old and gentle, the pair of cloudy eyes were so sharp that it made one's scalp tingle.

The old blender shook his head: "There's nothing to be sorry for. It's normal to have such thoughts. Although you were recommended by Erenfell, we are also silently examining you. You are a nice young man."

He stood up slowly while leaning on the back of his chair, and took away the porridge bowl in Sucher's hand: "The food provided by the spaceship itself is indeed terrible. As a new member of our regiment, it is very inappropriate to treat you with such things. I Let me take you to experience the real orientation party."

Sucher obediently stood up and left the restaurant behind the old blender.

The old blender gave him a strange feeling, he was gentle, calm, calm but extremely sharp.And even though he hasn't had in-depth contact with him yet, Suche can also tell from his method of repairing the gene button that the other party has a deep knowledge of gene allocation.

After staying here for a few days, Sucher also learned something.

After the peak period, as the age grows, the strength of genetic masters who rely on their bodies for food will decline greatly, especially the inner armor of the genetic armor. This kind of added genes directly added to the genetic spectrum will bring The huge burden makes the old geneticists more likely to suffer from intractable diseases than the old people of the same age. In addition, they often lead a wandering life when they are young, lack the objective conditions to form a family and raise children, and are used to spending money lavishly , so the evening scene is bleak, and there are not too few genetic masters who have to board the old man's ship.

This cruel reality made Sucher even start to worry a little about Yarslan's future.Although he is an elite teacher affiliated to the military department, and his salary is quite good, he doesn't know anything about life, and he grew up in a base that implements a distribution system, and he has no concept of financial management at all, and he has no concept of spending money.

Seeing the bloody lessons of his predecessor, Sucher pondered whether to buy a long-term insurance for Arslan.

He didn't worry much about himself.Accustomed to living in poverty, Sucher is quite sensitive about money, and made a safe and secure saving and investment plan early on.According to what he thinks is a long-term vision, but in fact is a stingy way of life, Sucher believes that even if he makes no progress on the road of deployment, it is absolutely impossible for him to come to this ghostly place to retire in poverty.

Moreover, genetic blending is a profession that gets more valuable the older you get.Because genetic blending does not require much physical fitness, the blender will not be trapped by old age.Although their attention and creativity will decline somewhat as they get older, their rich experience and excellent blending skills are enough to make them rival young blenders.

Sucher couldn't figure out why this old blender was reduced to the old man's ship.

Could it be that he came here with his fellow teachers?

He was somewhat curious, but finally held back and didn't ask.

Anyway, he's already here, and he has plenty of time to find answers.

Suche, who was immersed in his own thoughts, did not realize that he was already vaguely looking forward to his life on the old man's ship in the next few months.
