Earth Era

In the spacious and slightly deserted working hall of the Dragon God comprehensive scientific research spacecraft, Wang Hao sat motionless in his seat, looking at his arms in a daze.

On the forearm near the elbow, a dark brown spot is faintly visible. The dark spot is not obvious, and you can't even see it if you don't look carefully.

There is no discomfort in the dark spot area. Except for the slightly different color, it is the same as the rest of the area, just like a birthmark that originally existed on the body. But Wang Hao clearly remembered that there were no birthmarks here.

Living in the dangerous space, surrounded by the Bread Nebula containing mysterious radiation, Wang Hao knew that he could not ignore any changes in his body. Because any subtle change may indicate the onset of disease.

"I just had a full body examination four hours ago, and it was concluded that there was nothing abnormal. Now it seems that I need to go for another examination."

The Dragon God spacecraft is equipped with the most advanced medical equipment, which is even as advanced and complete as a large hospital. Wang Hao asked the robot to collect some blood samples for himself for genetic analysis. Then he came to the comprehensive examination hall, started various instruments, and conducted the most comprehensive and detailed examination of his body with the assistance of the robot.

In the past ten days, Wang Hao has done this dozens of times. Even in this dark space, Wang Hao's main job is to undergo examinations with various instruments, obtain data about his body, and analyze them in detail with the perspective of a medical expert.

Waiting for your body to change—changes that are irreversible and may ultimately kill you—is a very unpleasant experience. Every time the test results came out, Wang Hao seemed to be engaging in a life-and-death gamble. Once this bet begins, it cannot be ended, but Wang Hao already knows that in this bet, he will be the loser.

After a series of complicated examinations were completed and the results appeared, more than an hour had passed. Although he knew that in such a short period of time, even if the symptoms appeared in his body, there would be no noticeable aggravation, Wang Hao always felt that the dark spot on his arm had become a little darker.

The most complete medical examination equipment has listed the examination results of hundreds of thousands of items for Wang Hao. The results include everything from a certain gene to the operation of a certain capillary to routine examinations such as blood pressure and blood sugar. These hundreds of thousands of data completely and detailedly describe a human body.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Hao to read these data on his own, but with the help of computers, this task has become very simple. As long as the data is entered, the program will automatically compare it with the last inspection results and list the options that have changed significantly.

Among the comparison results, Wang Hao noticed a piece of data at a glance.

That's a gene numbered 45829. This gene, along with several other genes, determines skin color. But now, it is no longer normal. It seems that some external force destroyed it, causing it to change the way it used to work, resulting in a change in the color of its skin.

This change may have started a few days ago, but perhaps because the previous changes were not obvious, the machine did not detect it. It was only now that it was revealed to me in the form of data.

What is to come will eventually come. But at this moment, Wang Hao had no time to worry that an irreversible disease had already begun in his body, and instead immediately began further analysis of the gene.

By analyzing the forms and steps of these changes, Wang Hao will be able to know whether the changes that occur in his own body are the same as those that occur in other animals. If it is different, then this means that a new door will be opened to yourself, as well as all life scientists, pathologists, doctors and other medical workers in civilization.

Data analysis ended after another hour. The analysis results seem to indicate this possibility, but it is not detailed and convincing enough. More complete and valuable data needs to wait for further changes in your body.

At this moment, Wang Hao even began to hope that his body would change quickly, and that the terrifying disease... would appear on his body soon.

On the second day, the dark spot area felt a little itchy. But Wang Hao didn't know whether it was a psychological cause or a real disease. On the third day, the itching worsened and the color became darker. On the fourth day, my arms began to feel slightly sore and dark spots began to appear on my abdomen. The fifth day, the sixth day...

An unexpected viral cold invaded Wang Hao's body, but in order to ensure the accuracy of the data, Wang Hao did not take medicine, but chose to endure it. About seven days later, the cold got better, but something similar to small herpes appeared on the surface of the body on a large scale. After the herpes breaks out, ulcers begin to appear on the surface of the skin.

Now these ulcers are still very minor, similar to scratches, but Wang Hao knows that these ulcers will soon become serious.

Recalling what he saw in the Nimbus spacecraft, Wang Hao felt a sense of fear in his heart. For a moment, Wang Hao even impulsively wanted to change the course of the spacecraft and immediately return to the Phoenix Galaxy. But it was only for a moment. After calming down, Wang Hao began to look at the changes that appeared on his body with the eyes of appreciating works of art.

Observing the changes in data every day, exploring the existing patterns, and finding the differences between them and animals have become Wang Hao's greatest pleasure in his work. There are even times when Wang Hao feels that his consciousness has been separated from his body, as if this is not his own body, but like the bodies of patients he has contacted and observed countless times in the past years, or some other bodies. Experimental animals, such as mice, monkeys, etc.

Today, Wang Hao's speculation has been basically proven, and the data has been sent back to the Phoenix Galaxy. Countless medical workers are analyzing and researching on the basis of these data, but Wang Hao knows that his mission has not been completed yet.

Merely confirming differences, although of great significance, is of little value in practice. The important thing is to identify the form of this change and find ways to reverse it. And this requires Wang Hao to continue to stay here, and Wang Hao needs to obtain more data.

Time is still passing day by day. Phoenix Galaxy, Blue Star, a thick stack of information has been placed on Shen Qingyuan's desk.

These materials describe in detail the possible impacts and countermeasures of implementing this policy, as well as detailed implementation steps, implementation plans, etc.

Shen Qingyuan picked up a document and slowly opened it.

"Short-term execution items:

1. The issue of public opinion propaganda.

Second, the issue of tax increases.

Third, the issue of value orientation for social funds and private companies.

Fourth, regarding the implementation of the gradual reduction and eventual cancellation of various public benefits.

5. Plans to respond to popular opposition.

six,……"

Just a plan that can be gradually implemented in the short term has seventeen major categories and more than one hundred and thirty sub-categories. The mid-term plan and long-term strategy involve more aspects. The total word count of the materials in the three stages is up to millions of words.

Shen Qingyuan didn't have time to read it all, and there was no need. Shen Qingyuan knew that no matter how complicated it was, its core would never change. That is, on the premise of preventing society from collapsing, collect social wealth from individuals or civil organizations and concentrate it in the hands of the government as much as possible.

Looking at this information, Shen Qingyuan seemed to see countless people.

They may work hard all day long and endure a far greater workload than before, but the pay they receive is only a fraction of what it used to be, or even just enough to make ends meet. When they drag their tired bodies away from their workplace, there are no bustling commercial and food streets for them to relax and entertain. Against the backdrop of declining commerce, they have almost nowhere to go except to go home immediately. But home is no longer the warm haven it once was. The originally spacious, bright, and exquisitely decorated homes may be replaced by dormitories, and kitchen robots will no longer serve people. Instead, they will be replaced by poor uniformly distributed food. These foods provide no pleasure other than barely filling the stomach.

It was completely a scene that could only be found in hell. Shen Qingyuan once remembered that when he took office as the head of state, he vowed in his heart to lead people to a better and more prosperous life, but now, he has to personally push people down from heaven and let them fall into hell.

Shen Qingyuan didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, but Shen Qingyuan knew that as long as people are alive and civilization continues, people can discuss whether it is right or wrong. If civilization dies, even if it is right, what does it matter? use?

No matter what, Shen Qingyuan's heart never wavered.

A very high-level meeting is already being prepared. All high-level government officials within the civilization have gathered in the conference room to await Shen Qingyuan's arrival. Although Shen Qingyuan had revealed his plans to many high-level government officials before this meeting, and had won many supporters with facts and his own prestige, Shen Qingyuan still knew that during this meeting, he You will encounter resistance and opposition far beyond imagination.

"Even if I have no hope of returning to the solar system in this life, I must at least let my civilization escape from this place full of deadly traps."

"People of human civilization, I will personally push you to hell. But I am sorry, but I will not feel guilty for this."
