Chapter 166 Science
If someone tells you one day that they are a national superpower research institution, the normal people's reaction is that they have read too many online novels, or some new tricks of deceiving people. Xiao Tianlei met so many uninvited guests. At first, he thought he was from the Tax Bureau or the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It is said that he was illegal to do physical therapy at home, and he did not pay personal income tax. It would be fine if he did it casually, but if he earned too much money, he would inevitably be targeted.
These people showed their IDs, but unfortunately, Xiao Tianlei didn't know each other either. It's so easy to buy a fake ID now.
In fact, Xiao Tianlei was a little upset. He was involved in the government. Most of the relevant departments were not good. He just wanted to live a peaceful life, but he didn't want to cause trouble. However, the police were not here. He didn't feel that there was too much malice in dealing with it. Xiao Tianlei also wanted to figure out the situation. Xiao Tianlei was just a disbelief in their statements. Later, they found some people in charge of the community and persuaded them, which made people believe that they were really government staff.
The earth is not a foreign star, alone, and parents have to bow their heads in front of the state machine. The specific way to deal with it is to pretend to be honest, pretend to be confused, and deal with it with an ordinary attitude. However, what they said is indeed too unexpected.
What Xiao Tianlei encountered was magical enough and he could calmly deal with anything he encountered. However, the information he learned from these visitors, coupled with some of their hidden explanations, made him a little dizzy and said it for a long time. It is roughly said that there are many people in the country who have special abilities, so they set up a special research institution for this purpose. They are people from this organization. One of them still used the motivation to make a glass of water suspended.
"magic?"
Xiao Tianlei almost choked to death by using his thought power. Of course, Xiao Tianlei knew in his heart that it was not magic, but the use of spiritual power. It was really weak to see that guy was trying hard to control a glass of water! Moreover, the use of mental power was completely wrong to move objects. Xiao Tianlei was too lazy to complain, and had a rough guess about the so-called superpowers, and still maintained a disbelieving attitude.
"Please believe us. We have no malicious intentions. This phenomenon is not an individual situation. Please let go of your guard and cooperate with our work. We will do some simple levels." Fortunately, it is not the first time that these people who came to Xiao Tianlei today have dealt with such a thing, so they patiently convinced Xiao Tianlei.
Xiao Tianlei expressed his cooperation, and then a staff member asked questions and one person was responsible for the transcript.
"What do you know about this ability of yourself?" the man asked.
"I should be considered qigong, I just practice a qi. You should understand, right?" Xiao Tianlei insisted on claiming.
"Maybe, when did you get this ability?" asked the staff. In fact, they had already conducted relevant investigations before visiting.
"It's happening when you wake up. Maybe it's lightning that opened the meridians of the whole body." Xiao Tianlei said nonsense with a serious look on his face.
"Uh... open up the meridians throughout the body, do you like to read martial arts novels?"
"I saw a lot when I was young."
“No wonder.”
"Do you want to write it?" asked the person in charge of the transcript.
"Remember it, it's so weird anyway. Isn't it possible to develop the ability of practicing the cultivation techniques online? It's not bad. Anyway, we are only responsible for recording and leaving the others to the experts and professors to analyze." The staff complained to themselves, shaking their heads, and looked like they couldn't understand the world.
After finishing some records, the staff said that Xiao Tianlei would arrange a time to go to an institution to do some simple tests.
Xiao Tianlei thought about it and decided to go and take a look. However, there were a lot of patients waiting for physical therapy downstairs who were not leaving at will, so he had to deal with it.
After waiting for two days, Xiao Tianlei took time to go to the location of a supernatural agency that is said to be a state-secret secret.
It is not too far from the community where Xiao Tianlei's home is located, only a few dozen miles away, a small town in the suburbs of Chengdu.
It is not much different from other small towns on the outskirts. A new town has a comprehensive school, and other affiliated small hospitals, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. It doesn't seem special, but in fact it is not ordinary at all. Not far from the small town, there is also an army stationed. People within a radius of ten miles are in and out and are under surveillance. This small town can be said to be kept in a certain distance from the outside world.
Students in small town middle schools basically have some special abilities, but they still wear Chinese uniforms to school like ordinary students and learn cultural knowledge like ordinary schools. As for their special abilities, they mainly have five senses, their physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, and they also have mental power, that is, spiritual power, and a few have some special abilities.
In fact, people with special abilities on the earth have always existed, but their abilities are generally extremely weak. However, about 20 years ago, more and more people have some special abilities. Of course, compared with the huge population, they are still very small. This situation is not a phenomenon in individual countries, but a whole world. It has not attracted the attention of all countries at the beginning until some special abilities gather together privately and use some special abilities to commit crimes. In addition, in addition to humans, some other creatures in nature have also happened.
Some changes, in fact, appeared earlier than humans. At first, people just thought it was a mutation caused by pollution or new species evolved from nature. However, some new species appeared explosively, and these species had some strange abilities. Compared with humans, the reproduction cycle of organisms in nature was shorter. Those newly born organisms gained a strong position in nature, reproduced rapidly, and gave birth to a stronger individual. Until some harmful organisms appeared, countries realized the seriousness of the matter.
In view of some abnormal situations around the world, some major countries in the world have to join forces to deal with it.
Such a change is obviously not very natural and completely incompatible with the theory of evolution. Therefore, some people suspect that the earth was attacked by genes from alien organisms or was affected by some external influences. However, no evidence was found. However, scientists from various countries have studied some people with superpowers and have really made some research.
There was once a movie called "X-Men" in the United States, in which humans named Mutants, Mutants gained various superpowers because of gene mutations. The people with superpowers that appear now are collectively called superpowers. Europe and the United States call them mutants. In fact, the source of their abilities in the world today is not genetic mutations, and their genes have not changed, but some of their recessive genes and some genes that were previously considered useless, which some of them were stimulated to possess some special abilities.
Of course, the abilities of these mutants in reality are not as powerful as those in mutants in film and television works. They can be said to be copycat versions or weakened versions. This can relieve countries around the world. If there are such powerful mutants in film and television works in reality, then the world will be in chaos and the order of the world will change. Nowadays, the mutants in reality can be said to be very weak compared to mutants in film and television works. At least, if you get shot, you will have to die, and even cold weapons can't stand it.
Many of the abilities of mutants in film and television works are fictional and very unscientific. The abilities of mutants in reality can basically be explained by science. Their abilities cannot violate some scientific laws, and it is impossible to do exaggerated things like destroying a city by one person.
Of course, no matter what ability is, no matter how weak it is, as long as it is used properly, the effect will be quite large. Moreover, there are indeed some abilities beyond people's cognition, the simplest spiritual power, hypnosis ability. Some psychopaths used this ability to do many things, which made the US government anxious. Therefore, governments of various countries are very afraid of psychopaths. All countries have established mechanisms to find psychopaths hidden in the crowd to manage them in case they destroy the original order of society.
If we talk about the most popular scientific research today, it must be life sciences. All countries have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to study the psychopaths and figure out the mechanism of their production. If we can figure out the distance and control it by man, then humans will be able to evolve. However, various countries use scientific means to study, while the abilities and characteristics of some psychopaths that appear in various countries seem to be becoming increasingly unscientific.
Some mutants appeared in Europe and the United States, with their abilities such as legendary vampires, werewolfs, wizards, and ghosts... They are all myths and legends. The East is even more a bit more apart from those who have special abilities in nature, but also some acquired abilities. For example, some monks and Taoists rely on some inherited cultivation methods to cultivate some extraordinary abilities, and even practice blindly according to the narrative in the novel. Some religious people are very excited. Some ancient cultivation methods seem to be effective. Who dares to say that they are feudal superstitions?!
The world is changing so fast that all scientists engaged in scientific research are confused. However, scientists are scientists who firmly believe that science can explain these phenomena. Therefore, a group of scientists even switched their research directions and began to verify the authenticity of some myths and legends, as well as the feasibility of the so-called cultivation methods, and science and myths collided fiercely!
Today, scientists, religious circles, and other related fields in the world have been debated endlessly, and there has never been a unified cognition.
In any case, people can realize that the world is changing, no matter whether you want it or not. The consequences of these changes are most likely to be the collapse of the original order of the earth and social unrest. Therefore, all countries are working hard to maintain the original order. Fortunately, these seemingly legendary creatures are not very capable and are still within the scope that guns can solve.
In order to avoid panic among ordinary people, countries have blocked news, manipulated media, spread some false information and other means to make the vast majority of people maintain their original lives. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to do this.
With more than 7 billion people around the world, governments in various countries cannot work together to cover everything. With the activities of some psychics hidden in the crowd, more and more people know about psychics. Most of those with psychics are ordinary people. Why do they have psychics? Of course, they try to live a good life, or even do whatever they want. Do they still save the world like in the movie? Some of the simpler brains are good. Once exposed, a few police officers can deal with them, but they are afraid that some guys with high IQs have formed underground organizations and formed gangs, which are completely out of control by the government and do whatever they want.
The powers are not as good as guns when fighting head-on, but those who can use high-tech equipment have innate advantages compared to ordinary people. Some of them have infiltrated internally and use their superpowers to destroy, which makes people unable to defend themselves. Now the terrorist extremists in the Middle East have been suppressed by major powers in the early years. Now they are looking up again. It is very likely that some mutants are manipulating behind the scenes. It is said that some people there claimed to have obtained divine enlightenment and called on some believers to launch new holy wars; some other powers may have mastered some forces through some means, and even some small countries, becoming bombs hidden in the dark, and may break out at any time.
Superpowers have some abilities that make them stronger than ordinary people in some aspects. After years of experience, the best way to deal with superpowers is to rely on superpowers. However, superpowers will always obey the orders of some ordinary people? What if they rebel? Ideological education? Or put a collar on their necks like a bomb?
Faced with more and more psychics, how to deal with the relationship between psychics and ordinary people, is it hostility or complete acceptance, is it a harmonious coexistence, or is it even separated? Even if it is eliminated? All countries have to face these questions. No one has an answer for a while, or they have their own answers, and they cannot be unified in their cognition. Even if the dark tides in the world are surging, the earth will still operate.
Xiao Tianlei didn't know so much, but he just entered the superpower research institute and heard some fragmentary information from the staff of the national superpower institutions through sensitive hearing. The others were state secrets and they were not something he could know. However, through these words, Xiao Tianlei thought about it for a moment and realized that the earth was in secret, and the future might be even more chaotic. If you can control it now, it is not certain.
So, ignorance is happiness. Originally, he was just considering making more money, getting married, living a stable life, and letting his parents live a happy old age. Now, he has to think about the future again and prepare for the future. If he can let his material shuttle through space and take his parents to another place to enjoy happiness, no matter whether it is a world war or a flood on the earth, unfortunately he can't do it, so he can only try his best to think of ways. Others can't control it, at least his family can live a more stable life.
However, after all, he is on Earth now, and he has no power and power. He is just an ordinary person. If he wants to avoid some turmoil and danger, the best way is to join the system. Even if he pays a little price, he can live a stable, comfortable and special life.
With this idea, Xiao Tianlei cooperated quite well when doing some tests. Of course, in order to keep his secret, he could not show any special abilities, just like usual, showing some "qigong" abilities. After these tests, Xiao Tianlei felt pretty good. He wondered if he would be recruited into special departments and enjoy some national treatment... but it turned out that Xiao Tianlei was very disappointed.
This is also the situation Xiao Tianlei doesn't understand. For these people in the superpower research institute, Xiao Tianlei's performance is quite average. He is also a so-called qigong with some physical therapy abilities. For truly healthy people, at most, there is only a little health care effect. It can be said that it is a useless superpower. Besides, Xiao Tianlei is already in his forties and probably has no potential to explore. His abilities have nothing to do with fighting, and the abilities he has obtained inexplicably are not universal. Moreover, if you want to talk about healing ability, some other monks also have some ability to cure diseases. The effect is probably better than Xiao Tianlei's qigong physiotherapy.
Xiao Tianlei's only function is probably that through his experience, it is speculated that Xiao Tianlei's ability may be related to being hit by lightning. It can be seen that electric current stimulates the human body, but may stimulate some people's abilities. Therefore, in order to verify the impact of electric current on the human body, some experts from the Supernatural School have reported that they have added an experiment to try to stimulate and improve students' abilities through electric shocks.
So, after Xiao Tianlei was notified that he could go home, Xiao Tianlei was still a little shocked, stunned, and asked, "We are also psychics, so the country has not given any arrangements or treatment?"
"..." The staff member in charge of the reception glanced at Xiao Tianlei with a strange expression. One staff member couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you are not young anymore, so you should live a peaceful life. The country does not treat ordinary psychics like you. If all psychics are assigned and given special treatment, how much money will it cost, and the country will be in chaos."
"Oh..." Xiao Tianlei knew that he was old and his ability was useless. He refused to ask for it. Xiao Tianlei would not put a hot face on his cold butt. He felt relieved. If he really wanted to enter the system, he would have to be careful. It was not the life he expected. He originally planned to endure humiliation for his family, but now that he has no chance to sell himself, it would be fine.
Xiao Tianlei estimated that if he showed some powerful abilities, he would probably get some treatment. However, everything had a price. At that time, it would not be necessary to be used as a test subject or sent to be cannon fodder. Xiao Tianlei could not explain the origin of his ability, and there would be various reviews and interrogations.
In the end, Xiao Tianlei only stayed in this small town for one day, ate a working meal in the cafeteria, and was required to strictly keep state secrets. After that, he was sent home, and refused to pay any loss of work, and was so stingy! Xiao Tianlei was also open-minded that relying on others is worse than relying on himself, and living people can still suffocate to death? He believed that with his own abilities, no matter how he changes in the future, he could always let his parents live a stable life.
