157. Zheng Ran's Last Words (2)
Two men who were already strangers were sitting by the lake, watching the artificial light source reflected on the lake surface, sparkling.
Zheng Ran broke the silence and said, "Although I still have many doubts about this world, I have learned the secret of the moon in the last journey of my life, and I have died without regrets."
"The secret of the moon man?" Duda repeated.
"Yes, although not all." Zheng Ran's voice was filled with pride.
"Let me tell me." Duda said.
"Do you think I am you?" Zheng Ran sneered, "A college student who is not well-behaved has no idea how to use any means to protect his beliefs. It's ridiculous. I am an adult."
Duda didn't get angry, and he didn't even feel angry. Only fragile people would be angry, which was a serious lack of confidence. If it were a few days earlier, maybe he would be like this, but now...
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you," Duda said. "But when you bother me, I will lack motivation."
"I have handed over the key to the door to Zhang Tianyu. Although I don't like this student, he is indeed the one who is still by my side in the end. It's so helpless." Zheng Ran sighed, "When you fulfill my last wish, he will tell you these secrets, and then you will decide how to use them."
"It sounds like I've made a profit?"
"Of course you made a profit." Zheng Ran said bluntly, "After my death, Zhang Bolin will definitely not be able to support the Academy of Sciences. That guy has no special skills except for his brain, and he is simply like an idiot."
"I can tell from this point that you are much more scheming than him." Duda nodded and admitted.
"So I want you another promise," Zheng Ran said, "protecting the Academy of Sciences, never letting people interfere in its research; never to suppress scientific ideas; never to... castrate human civilization."
Duda looked at Zheng Ran, trying to find something from his already turbid eyes.
That kind of thing is universally present in everyone's heart, and is called selfishness.
However, Duda failed.
"It's good to die," Duda smiled bitterly, "but I am the moral judge you think. It's the guy who interferes with your scientists in their research, clamps up scientific ideas, and castrates human civilization. They call me anti-intellectuals. Is it okay for you to give such a selfless and great task to a villain like me?"
"Others will use the power of knowledge to achieve selfish desires." Zheng Ran said, "No matter how you look at me, look at us, we scientific madmen, but I believe you won't do this."
"How do you know?"
"You have withstood the test and temptation. Haven't you noticed it?" Zheng Ran sneered, "Or would you like to hear me praise you?"
"Then you should also know that I am parting ways with you is not because of my selfish desires. I cannot promise you." Duda said seriously, "Once the research of the Academy of Sciences has stepped on the ethical red line, or my red line, I will destroy it without hesitation. Whether it is ideological or substantial."
"No, you won't, because of Zhang Tianyu." Zheng Ran said. Before Du Da asked, he suddenly chuckled again. He said self-deprecatingly: "Sir, this kid is mediocre in qualifications, but he is so lucky. He has a good mentor like me to help him pave the way."
"Zhang Tianyu?"
"He will inherit all my legacy, especially in my mind." Zheng Ran said.
"Can you still pass the preacher before death?" Duda said contemptuously.
Zheng Ran did not explain much. He continued: "So, I believe he can gain a place in the fierce competition within the Academy of Sciences. He will use this to cooperate with you, even if he becomes your nominal subordinate. If you don't have your own scientific research ability, you will definitely need his help."
"I can find someone else," Duda smiled, "and even if I accept it, I won't agree to you."
"No one can do better than him." Zheng Ran said very affirmatively, "And, without him, how could you know who is doing those bad things in the Academy of Sciences that are against ethics?"
"Actually, you want to use me to protect Zhang Tianyu." Du Da looked at the calm lake and could see the whole picture of things more in the silence. He didn't know how fierce the internal competition in the Academy of Sciences was, nor did he know what Zheng Ran was worried about, but Zheng Ran wasting time to talk to him before his death, and he must have a deeper intention.
"This is part of it." Zheng Ran said, "Zhang Tianyu is my student and will uphold my will. All scientific research can only be used for human progress, not personal selfish desires."
"Who are you suggesting...selfish desires... that you repeatedly emphasize?" Duda finally captured the word.
"Don't you know?" Zheng Ran said.
"have no idea!"
"Didn't you notice that the moon's jump has been missing?" Zheng Ran said.
"How is that possible!" Duda followed one planet after another, "I must have not left anyone in the past few planets."
"Hehe." Zheng Ran said dryly.
These two words are translated by Duda, and they are a clean and neat "silly beep".
"Speak just by saying something!" Duda frowned.
"People, you push open a door and it's pitch black inside. You say, 'There's nothing here'." Zheng Ran said with ease, as if he was reciting a poem. Duda listened quietly. He continued, "But you forgot that when you opened the door, you already saw this darkness."
"One of us can only live for ten days, and it seems that it is not me." Duda's scalp was numb.
"Death is just another beginning," Zheng Ran said, "I think I am about to die, maybe it is the birth of another me."
"you……"
"Well, with your experience and intelligence, it is indeed difficult to see the darkness." Zheng Ran sighed, losing the interest in playing games, "what was your position when the Moon immigrated."
"Air Force Captain, responsible for escorting." Duda frowned.
"Among the soldiers, have anyone been sent to settle civilians and handle civil affairs?"
"This..." Du Da recalled briefly, "No, the large immigration has no impact on our army, except for the second military training of the troops under the police."
"So, why will the moon base quickly fall into an anarchy after the jump?" Zheng Ran's voice became serious. "Before the jump, everything was just order. Why did the administrative managers disappear overnight? Did they all stay on the earth?"
Duda's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning.
After the moon's jump, everyone fell into the unknown confusion. The people's livelihood field, which relies heavily on the earth, was hit the most. Currency became waste paper overnight, and everyone was looking for the shadow of the government. In the end, everyone could only accept the reality: the moon left the earth, and naturally left the earth's government.
"Although the government is indeed gone, it does not mean that the lunar administration will disappear so quickly." Zheng Ran said, "They did it on purpose. It was a very reasonable reaction to hide it before the situation was clear. No one knew what the army would do."
"They are so willing to give up their power?" Duda frowned.
"They are political animals, different from soldiers." Zheng Ran said, "Soldiers lose their power when they put down their guns. And they will be stronger after putting on the cloak of civilians!"
Duda suddenly felt a little nervous!
After the initial chaos, the people settled down and began to demand the quality of life. At that time, the government would be tired of dealing with it, and if they did it, they would be wrong, and if they didn't, they would always have half, or even more than half of the opposition... In the end, the people would happily welcome new leaders, sweep the former into the gutter, and regard the latter as the savior.
"Jiang Baihong's stupid child is secretly enjoyed when he is used." Zheng Ran despised the young administrator.
"So, you want me to protect Zhang Tianyu, just to prevent these people from abusing your scientific and technological achievements?"
"Yes." Zheng Ran agreed readily.
"Don't you do that, you'll have nothing left?"
"We are scientists. It is our eternal nature to pursue knowledge. It is our duty to turn knowledge into strength." Zheng Ran said, "You see the terrible side of this power, so you want to forbid this power... You are wrong. What you want to do is not blame the people who create power, but blame those who should have been taught to use power! Because their lack makes the power uncontrollable; because of their incompetence, the power has only one side of destruction and destruction."
Duda was stunned.
"Don't be discouraged, I didn't understand it before." Zheng Ran said self-deprecatingly, "I always thought you were a paranoid and pedantic naturalist. Now, I see through it and deserve to die. I despise you before I die, don't mind."
"I think it would be a good thing for everyone if you die quietly." Du Da calmed down the waves in his heart and said harshly.
"I will be very quiet, but not today." Zheng Ran said, "and I have a lot to do."
"You are a dying person. You have even discovered the secrets of the moon people. What else should you do?" Du Da said in surprise. Shouldn't such a person pretend to be in a place where there is no one in the world, and then take his last breath in the close-up?
"Star Gate," Zheng Ran turned his electric wheelchair, "non-directional energy transmission technology, human force stimulated. These three problems occupy most of my brain resources. Yesterday, it was true that we shouldn't use too many resources to consider the issues of politics and the current situation."
Duda was suddenly moved at this moment. How much does it take to be so pure! The development of human science and technology is actually meaningless to him, and...
"Is there really no technology that can slow down your illness?" Duda finally couldn't help asking.
"This is not a disease," Zheng Ran pushed the joystick. "I am not sick, my body faithfully implements the outline set by the genetic map. My death is just a natural law."
"Hey, you can't change it?"
"The modified genes can easily collapse, and the result turns into a pool of pus." Zheng Ran stopped in the wheelchair and took a deep breath. "The results of sudden attacks on individual geniuses are indeed just a short-lived legend."
