Recently, two major events happened in Cui Weichuan's family.
The first event was that after more than two years of painful learning, he had finally passed the junior electromagnetism engineer exam and successfully joined an electromagnetism laboratory as an intern.
However, things were different now. Society's requirements for engineers were getting higher and higher. Even passing the junior engineer qualification exam was just a stepping stone. A few years ago, he could be promoted to an assistant engineer after working for a year and a half. However, that was no longer the case. Without certain achievements, it was impossible to become an assistant engineer.
However, even though he was just an intern, his salary and benefits had increased by a large margin. His family's life had also become a lot more comfortable. More importantly, when he went outside and talked about his work unit, there would always be a burst of exclamations, followed by a burst of envious flattery.
Nowadays, scientific research was the priority. All resources were given to scientific research. Once one entered a scientific research position, it was like stepping over the ordinary class and becoming a privileged class. Not only was he treated well, he could not get any benefits or status no matter how much money he had.
The second event was that his wife finally gave birth to a son for him.
However, he had mixed feelings about it.
This was because this son did not resemble his parents at all. For example, both he and his wife had slightly dark skin, but the son's skin was quite fair. Also, both he and his wife had single eyelids, but the son had double eyelids. Although he had not been born for long, he was already very beautiful.
If it was just the difference in appearance, then the fact that he was different from an ordinary baby made his heart skip a beat.
In less than half a month, his wife's breast milk was not enough for him. Under the doctor's suggestion, he had to supplement it with porridge. Fortunately, his son's physical fitness was extraordinary and he had a strong digestive system. Soon, he adapted to it. After three months, his son had learned to speak, and not long after, he was able to walk normally.
Although his son's performance was unbelievably outstanding, even in his wildest dreams, there was no such fantasy. However, was this still a normal child?
He had many thoughts in his mind and soon, he arrived home.
"Dad, you're back!" His son cheered as soon as he opened the door.
His wife was cooking. Cui Weichuan put down his document bag and smiled, "Have you been good today?"
"I've been very good. Ask mom if you don't believe me!"
At this moment, his wife placed the dishes on the dining table. Then, she hugged her son's face and gave him a big kiss. She smiled and said, "Mhm, my baby is the best! Today, I know more than a hundred words. In a few days, I will be able to read by myself. "
"Mom, I can read the storybook now, but there are a few words that I don't know yet," the son said, unconvinced.
Cui Weichuan was a little slow when he heard that. He snapped back to reality and said hesitantly, "I don't think it's a good idea for him to learn to read so quickly. After all, he's still so young."
His wife didn't seem to mind. She was proud of her son's genius. "What's wrong with that? My son is a genius. He can learn everything after just one lesson. He will definitely become a great scientist in the future."
It's only been four months. How can my son be such a genius? Cui Weichuan opened his mouth but did not say anything.
"The last time I went to the hospital, I heard from the doctor that the government is going to start an early education class. Do you think our son should go?" The wife did not care about her son's struggle. She carried her son and sat on the chair. She was still excited.
Cui Weichuan felt jealous. Ever since she gave birth to their son, his wife's attention had been attracted by their son. However, he knew that it was ridiculous to be jealous of his son.
"The early education class should be at least three years old. It's still early!"
"It's not early. The early education class is for children like my son who were born with new technology. They can start school when they're half a year old. If they don't go, they might not be able to keep up with their studies!" His wife said excitedly.
"Then let's go. We can't delay our son's progress." Cui Weichuan knew his wife's personality very well. She had already made up her mind. She only asked him to confirm it.
Perhaps the children who were born with other new technology were also geniuses. He suddenly felt uneasy.
The longer he worked in the research field, the more Cui Weichuan understood the importance of intelligence. People like him who were not much smarter than ordinary people would not be able to go far even if they tried their best. If everything went well, being an assistant engineer would be the end of his career.
And if this batch of children were all geniuses, when they grew up, old people like them would probably be eliminated.
…
After more than ten test flights, the mothership had arrived at the edge of Venus.
Looking at the Earth from there, it was no different from the other stars.
The extraction of the giant beast's carcass was in progress. A large number of engineering robots were crawling on every corner of the giant beast like ants. Most of its skin had been peeled off, revealing its hideous muscles.
Its huge body was about the same size as the mothership. The emergency spaceship that was acting as a transfer station five kilometers away was less than a third of its size.
Compared to the first extraction of the giant beast's carcass, which still required a large amount of manpower, this operation was undoubtedly much more advanced.
There was almost no one at the construction site. They were all remotely operated by unmanned machines. They were like bees that flew from the giant beast's body to the emergency spaceship. A large number of engineering robots flew out of the spaceship and pounced on the giant beast again.
Each of these engineering robots was more than ten meters tall. They were powerful and had the ability to fly in space. With their great strength, they could easily cut open the giant beast's body and complete the task perfectly.
…
At the engineering command center in the emergency spaceship, a complete and clear diagram of the giant beast's internal structure was displayed in the center of the screen through high-power MRI and X-ray.
More than a dozen experts from various fields were carefully studying this structural diagram.
The giant beast's body was too huge. It was impossible for humans to stuff the entire giant beast into the spaceship. With the spaceship's empty storage space and the space that was used to replenish the supplies over the past few years, the most they could carry was more than a hundred thousand tons of meat. The weight was not even one percent of the giant beast's body.
In order to avoid missing some important parts, it was very important to analyze and study the giant beast's structure.
"Its mutation is quite serious. Most of its internal organs have withered. However, some organs have been strengthened, such as its heart!" A slightly chubby middle-aged man said in amazement. He was a biologist and had been doing research on mutant bionics before the apocalypse. It could be said that he was very experienced.
"Through the images sent by the engineering robots, we can see that there are countless tumors growing on the heart. Every part of a creature's evolution is reasonable. These tumors obviously have their own unique functions."
"I also think that the possibility is very high. However, mutant creatures are not ordinary creatures that have evolved. We have to consider the possibility of genetic changes. We need to collect some samples first and conduct preliminary research. It's still too early to make a conclusion," another biologist said after some thought.
