On the night of April 12, 2019, a spacecraft quietly appeared at an abandoned construction site in the southern suburbs of Beijing. A few minutes later, the spacecraft quietly disappeared into the night sky, as if it had never appeared before.
Interstellar travel is much faster than people imagined, and jump engine technology makes the distance between planets very close.
It was nearly 200,000 light years from the Blue Sea Star to the Earth. The spacecraft only made four jumps before arriving at the Earth. Within a few hours, Xia Fei was rudely kicked off before he could finish his space addiction.
Knowing the direction, Xia Fei took a big step and touched the few thin bills in his pocket. He knew without counting that the total was seventy-three yuan, which was his last possession.
After turning the corner, Xia Fei was lucky enough to get a taxi. Twenty minutes later, Xia Fei returned to his home.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Beijing that the east is rich, the west is noble, the south is poor, and the north is humble. Xia Fei's home is in the dormitory area of a leather factory in Nancheng.
This state-owned factory has been closed down for many years. Most of the residents are laid-off workers from the factory, and the buildings are tube buildings built decades ago.
The corridor was pitch dark with no lights, so Xia Fei had to walk upstairs in the dark. After staying on an alien planet for half a month, his phone, the only lighting facility in his hand, had long since run out of battery.
Xia Fei walked upstairs step by step, his feet were very steady, because there were many unexpected obstacles such as briquettes, bicycles, beer bottles, etc. piled in the corridor.
This is life. Although it's the 19th century, the earth today is no different from the past. Especially the slums where Xia Fei lives, at first glance, one still thinks he has returned to the last century.
Xia Fei's home is on the top floor, with one bedroom and one living room, with an area of no more than forty square meters. There are only a few simple old-fashioned furniture in the room, which the landlord did not need to throw here.
Apart from his clothes, the only things that really belonged to Xia Fei were the old-fashioned computer in the bedroom and the Giant road bicycle.
After closing the door gently, Xia Fei walked into the bedroom and sat at the desk to turn on the computer.
The old computer started very slowly. Xia Fei took out a rectangular metal box from his arms and opened it carefully.
A bottle of purple liquid lay quietly in the box, its crystal clear color revealing an indescribable mystery under the light.
The bottle is not big, just like a common nutritional liquid oral solution. There is no manufacturer, no date, and no description.
Xia Fei gently stroked the bottle with his fingers, his heart full of excitement and anticipation.
The Pan-Human Alliance sends one hundred copies of genetic optimization fluid to the Earth Federation every year to help the elites on Earth open the seventh brain domain.
One hundred potions for seven billion people, the competition is fierce as you can imagine. An ordinary little guy like Xia Fei can't even dream of it.
Xia Fei once saw in the news that the fat federal president awarded the box containing the genetic optimization fluid to the one hundred most outstanding elites of mankind in front of the global media.
The elites who received the genetic optimization fluid all cried bitterly, and some even fainted from happiness on the scene.
People who don't have the chance to get the optimization solution can only look at the coveted little bottle, filled with envy and jealousy.
Xia Fei remembered that this genetic optimization fluid seemed to be green, but his bottle was mysterious purple.
Just as he was thinking that the computer had finished starting up, Xia Fei resisted the urge to take it immediately, closed the box and put it gently into the drawer.
Since aliens arrived on the earth on April 1, 2016, the discussion about extraterrestrial civilizations has never been as popular as it is now. Overnight, countless websites about extraterrestrial civilizations popped up, the most famous of which are Starry sky network.
Opening the Star Network homepage, Xia Fei began to look for information about genetic optimization fluid.
"The brain is one of the most amazing organs in the human body. The brain development and utilization rate of ordinary people is less than 10%. Even geniuses of Einstein level only use 30%. Taking genetic optimization fluid can greatly improve It greatly improves the brain development and utilization rate. The degree of improvement varies according to each person's physical condition, and can reach a maximum of more than 90%!"
"In fact, there is a hidden special area in the brain called the seventh brain domain. Once this brain domain is opened, many powerful superpowers will be stimulated."
Xia Fei's eyes lit up, "Super power? Could he become Spider-Man?"
Becoming smart is certainly a good thing, but gaining a superpower is even more exciting.
"Different people develop different superpowers by taking genetic optimization fluid. Even the most advanced alien civilization cannot tell how many superpowers the seventh brain domain can activate."
"More than 70 percent of people who take it will become super soldiers with infinite strength, and some people will become talented musicians, mathematicians, physicists, chemists, etc."
"Mathematician?" Xia Fei frowned. He has never been interested in mathematics, physics or other things in his life. "It would be a really bad thing if you accidentally become a mathematician."
"According to incomplete statistics, less than one in 10,000 people did not gain any superpowers after taking the genetically optimized fluid, one in 100,000 died, and one in a million became a vegetative state. This is It shows that the various formulas of genetic optimization fluid at this stage are not perfect."
After reading this article in one breath, Xia Fei glanced at the table. There was still half a box of soft Hongtashan on the table. Xia Fei was a heavy smoker and only smoked the cheapest Hongtashan. He took out a cigarette and lit it for himself. The faint green smoke rises, which is really beautiful.
There are still certain risks in taking genetic optimization fluid, but these risks are far outweighed by the benefits it brings.
In fact, in addition to taking genetic optimization fluid, humans can also achieve the purpose of opening the seventh brain domain by practicing \[Starlight Technique\].
Nowadays, everyone from the elderly to children practice this kind of gymnastics every day. Unfortunately, in more than three years, no more than 8,000 people have been able to open the seventh brain realm through practicing \[Starlight Technique\].
"Don't worry, don't worry, let's check again why my bottle of optimization fluid is purple." Xia Fei said to himself.
Xia Fei's hand holding the mouse gently slid down. Starry Sky Network had quite a few articles on genetic optimization fluids, thousands of them.
"Detailed explanation of genetic optimization fluid varieties." Xia Fei opened this article with a tap of his finger.
"The quality of genetic optimization fluid is divided into four levels: top, high-grade, mid-level, and low-grade. Most civilizations in the universe produce their own genetic optimization fluid, which differs from formula to color to taste. The higher the grade of genetic optimization fluid, the better. The more expensive the raw materials are, the more obvious the effect will be after taking it.”
Xia Fei suddenly realized, "It turns out that the genetic optimization fluid is not all green, and I don't know what grade this bottle is?"
"Forget it! If you drink it directly, you will know everything. The most unfortunate thing is to die or become a mathematician." Xia Fei swept his eyes around his simple room, "No matter what level he is, he will never be better than It’s even worse now.”
Take out the small purple bottle from the drawer.
Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out, and Xia Fei twisted off the bottle cap.
Gudong!
With a raise of his neck, the genetic optimization liquid entered Xia Fei's stomach, and the whole movement was done in one go, without any hesitation.
The purple liquid has a slightly sour smell and an indescribable weird taste.
Xia Fei lit another cigarette for himself and sat quietly on the chair waiting.
A minute passed, and there was nothing strange except for a little warmth in my stomach.
Xia Fei was a little anxious and glanced at the small bottle. There was still a faint purple hanging on the wall of the bottle, and there should be a trace left.
He ran into the bathroom in a few steps, turned on the faucet, poured half of the bottle of water into the bottle, and shook it again and again.
Gudong!
The clear water went into Xia Fei's stomach along with the remaining potion. This time, the bottle was completely clean, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
at this time! The genetic optimization fluid is starting to take effect!
For a moment, Xia Fei felt like the world was spinning, as if he saw thousands of butterflies flying in front of his eyes, and there was a tearing pain in his head.
There was an old-fashioned bathtub in the bathroom that had not been used for many years. The community often had water outages. Xia Fei filled the bathtub with tap water in case of emergencies.
Plop!
Xia Fei swayed twice and fell headfirst into the bathtub.
His head sank into the icy water.
