Chapter 3 Difficulty turning around on the way of evolution(1/2)
Zhang He has been following up on the woman's affairs.
She has submitted a report to ht United. The human resources department reported that it has been more than two years since the girl resigned. The file has long been handed over to the local civil affairs. At present, it seems that the person (and her unborn child) is under the control of the community. ht United
The federation has formally sent a letter through the human resources department entrusting her to represent the federation.
What can you do?
As a former employer, I would like to express my concern and condolences.
The captain's condolences level is high enough, right?
But the premise of condolences is that the person must still be alive.
Community police officer Xiao Wu reported that the person was not rescued.
His spirit was about to collapse. During the phone call with Zhang He, he couldn't help crying. Zhang He gave him a good comfort, for fear that he would regard human life as his own responsibility.
According to Xiao Wu, neither the adults nor the children were rescued.
The adult had been dead for nearly 4 hours when he was sent to the hospital, and rigor mortis had begun to occur.
The child was carried too long beyond the normal pregnancy period. The head is too big.
The adult was malnourished and had severe bone loss. Not only was the pelvis broken, but the hip joint and femur on one side were detached. The baby died about 2 hours later than the adult. It is a pity that the child's vitality cannot support its struggle.
Leaving the broken matrix.
Soon, the family members of the deceased came to arrange funeral arrangements. Zhang He saw a slender young man while wandering around the community office. He was wearing a hat even though it was not cold. He bowed when he entered the door. He looked disgusting.
It turned out that the deceased was married.
The person who came here was her life partner who shared the same goals. They both grew up in childcare institutions and had a similar spirit.
They agreed that they would live their lives in the most natural way. So after getting married, women would keep their hair longer than their ears, wear skirts and only skirts, never pants; men would wear their hair in buns, never shave their hair, and have beards.
They maintain a natural look. The two of them never dye their hair; they only eat natural food cultivated in a natural way in open-air farms with sunshine. The crops are grown from seeds without any chemical fertilizers, pesticides and commercial biological agents since their grandmothers' generation; they only wear underwear with
The natural cotton and linen grown in sunny open-air farms are cultivated in the same natural way as above. The things grown in urban indoor farms are so unnatural that they refuse to use them.
The most important thing is this: to give birth to offspring, they must also use the most natural way. Use the mother's body to give the warmest love, be born in the way of nature, and use caring eyes to nurture the children to grow up slowly and become adults.
A healthy boy in the sun.
As for why not be more natural and live together and take care of each other? That's because things grown naturally in sunny open-air farms are very expensive. If two people live together, they can't use the things of the deceased's lifetime.
Unemployment is subsidized with rent. They can rent small apartments separately, which saves expenses.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang He expressed awe and respect for mentally retarded people and kept them at a distance.
But this mentally retarded person feels like he deserves a beating.
Even if they live separately, can they live close to each other? Even if they don't live close together, can they be there if something happens? Even if they can't be there, can they keep in touch normally?
When Zhang He came back and talked to Lan Ze, he gave him a three-word evaluation: "A real scumbag."
On the morning of the seventh day of the fever, Zhang He attended on behalf of the aviation association. The condolence commission was officially converted into a condolence commission. Lan Ze saw that she was in a vague mood and was not at ease, so he accompanied her as a family member of the captain (he should cover his face here).
Attend the meeting.
White flags were hung in front of the door of the small apartment (yes, the door was demolished by Lanze...), and the room was filled with colorful wreaths of flowers. The smell was sweet and much better than that day. The male family members of the deceased woman faced
Everyone who came in bowed and handed out white banners. Those who came were mainly neighbors in the building and a few community service workers.
A long table covered with black cloth is placed against the wall in the middle of the small hall. Two plain porcelain jars, one large and one small, are placed on it. Behind the jars, there is a large photo with a black frame on the wall. The photo shows a beautiful woman with long hair.
, black hair draped over her shoulders. On a large plate in front of the jar were presented fresh fragrant flowers, so fresh that they dripped water.
Zhang He exchanged a few polite words with the male principal at the door, conveying the consortium's deepest condolences to the deceased employee and cordial condolences to his family. Then, Zhang He stepped forward and kowtowed to the two jars and the large photo.
Take out a flower from the bucket on the ground and put it on the plate.
The great captain in the sky kowtows to the small civil servant below. This is a very important ceremony for the union. The greatest is the greatest in heaven and earth.
Lan Ze followed him and kowtowed, offered incense and flowers, and the two of them temporarily left the door.
The community staff said hello and left first, and the two of them watched the monks chanting sutras with the neighbors who were watching the fun in the corridor.
After reciting the sutra, it means that the house is fine and completely ready for habitation.
In fact, most of the community monks are part-time psychological counselors, and a small number are lay disciples. There is nothing we can do about it. In order for some mentally fragile people in the human race to not have nightmares and random thoughts, and then make up stories to scare themselves and others, they must hold ceremonies in a serious manner.
It means that the soul has been saved/left/has no attachment/go to the other side/go to the West. The room of the dead has been purified, which is quite necessary. It is especially useful for children.
Lan Ze was like this when he was a child. When he was afraid of the dark and cried, the psychological counselor of the children's school took the props and pretended to recite the sutra a few times, and he fell asleep on his own. Later, he also met a real monk, which is quite rare.
The psychological counselor in this community is a very dignified old man, and he seems to have a lot of wisdom. Today he specially wore a set of yellow clothes with a slanted front, a bit like a monk's robe. He checked the time and it was already passed.
At 11 o'clock (noon was already here), he grabbed an old-looking paper booklet and entered the room. The male host accompanied him, and the two of them knelt face to face on the ground in front of the table. However, the uncle quickly changed it to
Cross your legs, leaving the family members of the deceased kneeling alone.
The uncle opened the booklet and read it carefully word for word. It was obvious that he read it very fluently and had practiced it. But most people could not understand it.
Sister Hehua sighed softly. Lanze heard her and held her hand.
Sister Hehua turned her head, and Lanze smiled with his teeth exposed; Sister Hehua also raised the corners of her mouth.
The two of them stood side by side quietly in front of the window in the corridor. After the uncle in the room finished reading the pamphlet, he also read a piece of paper sandwiched in the pamphlet, which seemed to be a very mysterious speech. Finally he announced loudly: Wandering.
The departed soul has no attachment. The fragrance of flowers is like clouds, and blessings are like wind. Riding on the long wind to drive the clouds to the west, the world has been refreshed and clean.
The neighbors dispersed and went home, and the two of them slowly walked through the long corridor and headed towards the elevator.
"I can't even hear what these sutras say. No one understands, right?" Sister Hehua complained. Because she couldn't understand, she was mysterious.
The part-time monk still stayed in the apartment to talk to the male family members. Zhang He and Lan Ze got into the empty elevator. In the enclosed space of the elevator, Zhang He felt much more relaxed.
"The themes and ideas of many scriptures are similar. Roughly speaking, this world is empty and illusory. When you die, you wake up. When your soul wakes up, you will face the real reality. These realities are either good or bad."
"Huh?" Sister Hehua was surprised to hear Xiaolan actually answer.
Lan Ze smiled proudly: "It's okay, it's over."
Sister Hehua looked up at him, "I just don't understand... human beings have evolved for so many years, why suddenly... people can't reproduce after leaving the nursery?"
"Huh!" Zhang He breathed a long sigh of relief, "Can human beings evolve so fast? How many generations has it only taken? How many years have it only passed?"
"Always, more than a hundred years?" Xiaolan asked uncertainly.
"It was only 1955 when nurseries were included in the national security system. Before, commercialized in vitro child care services were not popular and affected very few people. From 1955 to now, it has only been eighty-two years. (She refers to: 2155-2237
Year) You have studied biology. Please explain, how can humans evolve so fast? Are other animals so fast? Creatures that evolve very quickly should reproduce very quickly, right? Eighty-two years,
People can only have three generations at most." Seeing Xiaolan's doubtful eyes, Sister Hehua changed her words and said, "Well, four generations is also possible, which is the most."
"I can really explain this." Xiaolan finally said, "Have you ever heard of a word called 'acquired inheritance'?"
"I've actually heard of it. Isn't 'acquisition' the same as the early theory of evolution... Lamarck?"
"Uh-huh, continue?"
"The ancestors cut off their legs, so the descendants will also be missing a leg? This is wrong!"
"Well, it is indeed wrong. Because only germ cells are responsible for inheritance."
"The basis of the theory of evolution is that 'acquisition' cannot be inherited, right?"
"Actually, 'acquisition' can be inherited." Xiaolan said slowly, "If under the influence of hormones and stress, certain changes occur inside the germ cells, such changes can be inherited."
The elevator quickly reached the ground floor, and the elevator door opened with a "squeak" sound.
Sister Hehua pulled Xiaolan toward the ground exit. Xiaolan continued to popularize science mainly because she had a rare opportunity to be cool. "It's not as complete as a genetic mutation, but a reversible change. For example, under some conditions, chromosomes
Some hydrocarbon groups will be linked to it. It is formed by removing a hydrogen from methane..."
"methyl"
"You know."
"Who doesn't know this?" Zhang He said helplessly.
"At the chromosomal position where the methyl group is linked, the gene functional group will be temporarily inactivated. This is called 'methylation'. The mark of methylation inactivation can be passed on to the offspring after cell division. This mark
, I also often use it in design.”
Xiaolan glanced at Sister Hehua and summed it up succinctly: "It means that "acquisition" can be inherited."
"Are you saying that her child cannot be born at the normal time in the past because of the 'methylation' inherited from her generation?"
"No, I think it's the opposite." It's because the methylation has been detached!
Lanze lamented, "This kind of mark can be eliminated under certain conditions, especially before meiosis of sexual reproduction. So..."
Since ancient times, generations of babies have struggled painfully and desperately to be born, with light at the end of the birth canal.
Sunshine, firelight, candlelight, and lights are the hope of survival; if you stay in the warm and dark mother's belly, the only thing that will eventually come is death.
In the desperate struggle to cross the birth canal, every cell in the body is added and strengthened from generation to generation, which represents a sign that you can survive! The brain has grown too big, and it is a sign that you must be born immediately!
Birth, birth! Or die!
For millions of years, humans have been biologically premature.
Before his organs have grown and his brain is far from mature, he is helpless and comes into this dangerous world early.
