As the words fell, the room was silent.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Xue Yan suddenly came to his senses.

An excitement flashed in his eyes: "Why should we try it too?"

Similar to Xue Yan, Walter also rubbed his palms eagerly at this time: "Try...yes! Try!"

"I've had enough of this kind of life!"

"Look at this exoskeleton armor..."

While saying that, Walter tapped the exoskeleton armor fixed to his body hard, then pointed his hand at the family medical cabin beside him, and said incoherently: "There is also that medical cabin. Do you know the pain of sleeping inside every night?"

"I know, of course I know..." Xue Yan echoed repeatedly.

Since we arrived at Dawn Star, everyone has endured an extremely uncomfortable life.

Every morning, they crawled out of the wet medical cabin, cleared the deep-sea fluid on their bodies, and then struggled to put on exoskeleton armor.

Although the Academy of Sciences tried its best to increase the comfort of exoskeleton armor, this powerful "iron rack" still aroused dissatisfaction among many people - in peaceful times, no one was willing to wear a semi-open armor forever.

"I'll sign up now!" Xue Yan hurriedly reached out and dragged the holographic image, and found the registration entrance.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

The moment the key is pressed, the holographic image page will automatically jump.

"Instructions on Human Body Strengthening Projects"

...

“…”

After a few minutes, the atmosphere in the room became stiff.

"Or why don't you wait first?" Walter's eyes flashed with a hesitant light and he whispered, "This thing seems to be a genetic tampering..."

"and……"

Looking at the simulation of visceral omentum in the holographic projection, Walter's face showed a trace of fear visible to the naked eye.

"This human body reinforcement project will actually change the original body traits of human beings!"

Walter was silent for a moment and spoke again: "I remember that in the Earth's era, human genetic modification seemed to be a prohibited experimental project..."

As an older generation in the Earth age, Walter had an extremely strong sense of resistance to genetic modification.

As for Xue Yan, who was born from Proxima Centauri, his brows frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "Is that true?"

"But this bill was abolished a few years ago."

While speaking, Xue Yan found the corresponding evidence on his watch.

"Look." He pointed at a not-so-conspicuous news, "according to the discussions between the Parliament and the Academy of Sciences..."

Walter didn't say anything, but just looked at the holographic projection in front of him silently, his eyes filled with struggle.

"I……"

He opened his mouth, but he was reluctant to say a complete sentence.

"Hu!" After a long time, Walter breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had figured out something.

His lips moved slightly and he whispered: "I, I think, why don't you... forget it this time."

"Human body enhancement technology has just been launched, and no one knows if there will be any sequelae."

"just in case……"

"What's more, I think compared to genetic modification, mechanical exoskeletons and medical cabins are actually acceptable."

Xue Yan shrugged and reached out to close the holographic image in front of him.

"Okay, listen to you."

"Let's wait first and see what others choose."

...

The next day.

Headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.

"Professor, Academician Mao Zhengzhi is here."

Lu Yongchang, who was sitting behind the desk, paused slightly, then reached out and "pulled" the several holographic images in front of him to the side.

"Let him come in."

As the words came to an end, the office door slowly opened.

"Professor, something happened!"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

Before the door was fully opened, Mao Zhengzhi's voice came into Lu Yongchang's ears.

Lu Yongchang frowned slightly and stood up from the chair: "What? Something happened to the human body reinforcement project?"

"There are too many people who sign up, and there are not enough reinforced cabins?"

Mao Zhengzhi, who had just walked into the office, suddenly became strange when he heard this.

He shook his head awkwardly: "No, no."

"However, it's really related to registration..."

Lu Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, then turned his head to the robot beside him and said:

"Zero, how is the project registration situation?"

“As of now, the number of applicants is zero.”

Zero's electronic synthesizing sound came out of the speaker, and at the same time, a holographic statistical picture appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

Looking at the huge number, Lu Yongchang twitched slightly and muttered to himself with a confused look on his face.

"how so……"

"There is something wrong with the promotional video?"

Hearing Lu Yongchang's inquiry, Mao Zhengzhi sighed softly.

“It’s not us who are wrong.”

"After the news, I sent someone to conduct a simple investigation."

"The survey shows that all the 'old people' from the earth have rejected this human body reinforcement transformation."

"What's the reason?" Lu Yongchang asked with a frown.

"Genetic transformation." Mao Zhengzhi squeezed out a few words from the cracks of his teeth, "They have a heartfelt fear of human genetic transformation."

"..." Lu Yongchang fell into silence.

Even he did not take this into consideration.

He reached out and pinched his eyebrows and said tiredly: "What about the new generation? Why didn't those new generations born in Proxima B register?"

"Under the influence of the older generation, they all chose to wait and see." Mao Zhengzhi pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a sense of laughter, "Simply put, they are all waiting for others to be the so-called 'test samples'."

"And, there's even worse news."

“Because no one has signed up, people’s trust in the project has begun to decline sharply.”

"If I drag it on, I'm afraid..."

Lu Yongchang didn't say anything, but just looked at the statistical charts in the holographic projection silently.

It is not difficult to understand the reason behind this situation.

Everyone has fear of strange things.

But as long as someone tries to become the "first person to eat crabs", then naturally someone will choose to follow.

But today's human body reinforcement program is stuck at the beginning - except for Hope and Hansent, no one wants to be the "first person to eat crabs".

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, slowly raised his head and looked at Mao Zhengzhi in front of him: "Prepare for it."

"I'll be the first volunteer."

Mao Zhengzhi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yongchang behind the desk with horror.

"No, this, professor, this won't work!"

He waved his hands repeatedly and dissuaded incoherently: "This, this is too dangerous, and..."

"Nothing is wrong."

Lu Yongchang interrupted Mao Zhengzhi's words: "In addition to me, all staff of the Academy of Sciences will give priority to human body strengthening projects."

"I will also say to Chairman Hong on the Parliament."
