191 Look at how big and round this cauldron is (1/2)

Actually, Qing Zhen was not wrong. If they were to debate this subject, neither Qing Zhen nor Yang Xiaojin could convince the other. Both parties were coming from a different standpoint, and there was no way to distinguish who was right or wrong. This was because ”right” and ”wrong” were just judgments imposed by others.

But be it the matter of nuclear technology or nanorobotics, Ren Xiaosu felt that there was indeed no right or wrong regarding these two matters. However, what motives did those who wanted to use them have?

While they were deadlocked, Ren Xiaosu suddenly raised his own doubts. ”I have a question. Are those nanomachines really that great?”

”They weren't in the past.” Luo Lan gave a simple explanation. ”They used to only be deployed for angioplasty through some basic programming, but it'd totally be different if they could directly interface with neurons in the brain and be put to military use.”

Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. ”Different in what way?”

”Just think about what if those tiny yet extremely tough nanomachines could become your new skeletal structure and muscles? What's more, after interfacing with your neurons, they'll fully be under your control like how you control your fingers. There wouldn't be a need to give them any specific instructions. Just use them like how you would use your hands,” Luo Lan said.

”It still sounds rather normal to me,” Ren Xiaosu said.

”Forget it, you won't understand!” Luo Lan scorned, ”There's no way to communicate with an uneducated person.”

Ren Xiaosu grew unhappy. ”I scored 560 points on my final exams, so who are you calling uneducated? How much did you score on your exams?”

Luo Lan was embarrassed. ”Hahaha, why would you bring that up!”

Yang Xiaojin calmly lwatched Ren Xiaosu and felt he was really thick-skinned. He could even deceive himself like that?

At this moment, Qing Zhen laughed and said, ”No matter what, we're still brothers in arms today. Whatever happens in the future, let time be the judge. We don't have any use for the hard drive, so feel free to take it back with you.”

Yang Xiaojin suddenly asked, ”The Experimentals you people caught, are the results of the study you did on it out yet? Just what are those things?”

Qing Zhen thought for a moment before saying, ”You might not believe it even if we tell you. Those things are full of cancer cells. No, to be more precise, they're full of cancer cells that seemed to have reached a state of equilibrium.

”It's common knowledge that cancer cells are a heterogeneous population, with giant nucleated, binucleated, and heteromorphic nucleated cells. However, the cancer cells found in the Experimentals comprise only of a single binuclei population, and they're even uniformly divided as normal human cells are.

”I suspect the Pyro Company attempted to search for a way to live forever. There was once a woman who, after her death, had her cancer cells taken and cultured. Later, those cancer cells were used to propagate into tens of thousands of generations of cancer cells became known as the HeLa cell line.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, ”Has that already been verified, or was it just your guess?”

”Oh,” Qing Zhen laughed and said, ”it was just my guess. After all, we haven't started our research on the Experimentals for long, so don't take it too seriously.”

Ren Xiaosu thought, 'If you were only guessing, please don't sound so certain when you are relating it to us.'

”Wait.” Yang Xiaojin suddenly also conjectured, ”They were selectively injecting drugs into humans, so does that mean they're selecting people with cancer cells?”

Qing Zhen said, ”But I think, since cancer cells are derived from a mutation in normal cells, if you're trying to define it, you can also say it's uncontrolled evolution. But in my opinion, such evolution will always be an inferior product.”

Today, Ren Xiaosu came into contact with various kinds of speculations, and some of these speculations were not even ideas he knew before. For a moment, Ren Xiaosu felt a little envious of these people for having received a complete education. It meant that these people were able to have a complete understanding of the previous world.

”Let's part ways here.” Qing Zhen smiled and said, ”Speaking of which, I'm still under house arrest.”

”Aren't you worried about the threat that they pose to this world?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Qing Zhen waved it off as he stepped into an armored vehicle. ”They're not enough to cause me any worry yet. It's only the kids who find them scary.”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at Yang Xiaojin and thought that it was no wonder she wanted to shoot him with her rifle. What a pity it was to not shoot a show-off like him.
