Chapter 8: Superhumans

Not a wide stairwell, Oliver unfolded full speed, moving like a ghost, climbing, jumping, walking sharply, only to see him three or five steps and do one step, a jump as high as a floor. Powerful physical qualities, extremely high adaptability to the environment, completely beyond the normal human flexibility, can be said to be "super human" is not too much!

In fact, he still hid one thing from his team members: the perfect vegetation long ago had a successful case, that is, their captain ...Oliver!

This is a long story, and it is not that he deliberately concealed it, but his superiors asked him to keep it strictly confidential.

In twenty years ago, after the initial prototype of the lunar base, the human government could not wait to carry out the relevant experiments.

Perfectin is a non-renewable substance, although the quantity is large, but still limited, so it is impossible to waste on a large scale on animals, so the first experimental objects are - human fertilized eggs!

Because fertilized eggs are genetically identical to humans, but not really human, they are used for experiments to reduce some moral and ethical risks. Many scientists still have professional ethics, and there is little willingness to do real human experimentation.

Animal cells are much more complex than plant cells, especially humans, the only intelligent creature on earth, with 46 chromosomes, more than 39,000 genes, the mechanism of action of the perfectin is also more complex. With the technical means of human beings, there is no way to glimpse the mystery of it, only through the method of large-scale experiments to figure out, research.

In the first experiment, governments screened about 100,000 fertilized eggs from the human gene pool. Unfortunately, for various reasons, the first experiments all failed. The lunar base was not perfect at the time, and various technologies were not up to par, and the mortality rate of fertilized eggs was high.

There were, however, a very small number of successes and, curiously, these fertilized eggs were transformed into mature human cells after being subjected to Perfectin!

They lose the totipotency of the fertilized egg and are no longer able to divide and differentiate. These cells have a very high metabolic capacity and a high life span, with all indicators greatly exceeding those of normal humans. However, after transplantation to the mother, these cells still have no way to divide. These can not divide the fertilized eggs will not be able to grow into a human, how powerful is also a cell, the experiment naturally failed.

But the human government did not rest, but saw hope in it. Immediately after, they unleashed a more powerful force, the second experiment, they collected millions of fertilized eggs!

Not much to say about the process, two years later, a miracle appeared, that is - Oliver! The first human being who was transformed by the perfect vegetation ...

Along the way, Calvin's voice rang out from time to time from a nearby radio, not knowing if he was speaking to Oliver or talking to himself.

"Oliver, the lucky one out of millions of fertilized eggs, the only successful case of mankind so far, can be said to be a miracle that can never be replicated again. His cellular metabolism is three times that of an average human, his neural response rate is ten times that of an average human, and his life cycle is twenty times longer. In other words, Captain Oliver's normal life expectancy is over fifteen hundred years ... This amazing example shows that ... Perfectin works for humans!

It is God's gift, God's favor to him, but triggered the greatest greed of the human world!" He either sighed, or lamented, or was angry.

"Anyone who wants to be superhuman, anyone who wants to live 20 times longer! Especially those rulers who are dying of old age, they already take up a lot of social resources, but they are still not satisfied, they want to live longer ..."

"However, perfectin is, after all, a finite and non-renewable product. This also means that only one in a thousand people are qualified to become ... superhumans!"

Oliver had no way to refute this information, he was aware of it, but did not think about it carefully. This issue is too complex, most of the world's resources are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and this is true in every era. But this time, the perfect vein is different from money or oil or whatever, it's something that can completely change a life ...

He quickened his pace and climbed to the top floor in less than two minutes.

Calvin was standing in a glass room, a tall Western man, about forty years old, his face ruddy and very emotional, "Everyone is equal, who are they to want to control everything? On what basis? On what basis?"

He shouted, took out a controller from his pocket and roared, "Oliver, please tell me, who is the one in a thousand? Who is entitled to be that one in a thousand?"

"Is that the ... remote control?" An extremely bad feeling rose in his heart, Oliver secretly screamed, he had dealt with Calvin, very paranoid, very bad communication, if he accidentally detonated the bomb, then, the whole building would be finished!

Calvin's room is made of special glass, the bullet can not break, and it is impossible to break in directly.

Helpless, Oliver had to ease the other side first, "Now the application of perfectin has not yet broken through, the success rate of adults is zero! So, for the time being, there is no need to consider this kind of problem!"

"No, you don't understand!" Calvin shook his head, pointed in the direction of the earth, and exclaimed, "God has already made the choice for us! Those who don't deserve the perfect vein have been completely destroyed ... Now, we, the human race, are about to enter a new era!"

"Come on, Oliver, the first superhuman, the first transformer of Perfectin, let me see what you're really made of!" Calvin said, and suddenly opened the glass door.

"As long as you catch me in five minutes, I'll give you this remote control!"

Immediately after, he quickly ran out of the door.

"Five minutes, only five minutes!"

Although he did not know what exactly Calvin was going to do, Oliver immediately scurried over and followed closely behind.

It was a hundred-meter-long metal passage, surrounded by corridors leading in all directions, very complicated. Calvin has lived on the moon for five years, has long been accustomed to the environment here, from his body size, should often exercise, running very quickly.

Oliver did not dare to shoot directly, afraid that once he fired, Calvin would directly detonate the bomb. He quickly chased up behind.

"My 100 meter speed on Earth is about eight seconds, far exceeding the world record, on the moon can run even faster, catching Calvin should not be a problem!"

Just a few seconds of work, the distance between the two closed a cut.

Suddenly, two iron orbs appeared on the side of the corridor, each one as big as a basketball. They have two electronic eyes similar to eyes at the very front, which can freely rotate 360 degrees, and around the body, there are eight metal legs as thick as chopsticks, just like a spider.

When these two orbs saw Oliver, the electronic eyes immediately glowed red.

"This is the ... spider robot!"
