I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

"Mr. John Wick, are you sure you want to apply for the resurrection procedure for your wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter?"

"Yes."

In the reception room of the Service Center of the Ministry of Citizen Rights Protection, Old John nodded slightly nervously in response to the staff's solemn inquiries.

The staff pushed the tablet computer in front of Old John.

"Okay then. Please check and confirm the beneficiary's identity information again, especially the DNA information. If it is correct, please sign here."

Old John read it carefully again, then signed his name with trembling hands.

"Okay, all the formalities have been completed. We will submit your application to our superiors for review. The result will be available within three working days. You can check the progress of the application on our official website."

“After passing the review, you will enter the queuing procedure, and the entire resurrection process will be completed within 12 months at the latest.”

The staff explained.

Old John was surprised: "So fast? Will there be any side effects?"

It's not that he was overthinking, it's just that the time was too short. 12 months was just enough time for the fetus to be born naturally.

Thanks to the popularization of the National Quality Improvement Program, he still has a basic understanding of cloning technology. If he wants to cultivate a clone from embryo to adult within 12 months, it must use acceleration technology that ordinary people can't imagine.

Old John knew about the story of forcing growth by pulling up the seedlings. Would it really be okay if cloning was done this way?

The staff smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry, this technology was developed by the commander himself. Safety has always been the top priority. It has been tested and verified many times. You can rest assured about the safety."

"Well then...thank you."

"You're welcome. I hope this technology can improve your living situation."

Old John walked out of the government center, looking a little dazed.

He was a little confused, not knowing whether the decision he made was right or wrong.

Yes, he decided to participate in the official "reunion" program and resurrect his family.

To this end, he commissioned an official team to return to where his family lived to collect genetic samples.

The desire for his family prompted Old John to make such an impulsive decision. But after doing these things, he couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that the result would deviate from his expectations.

"Woo, woo, woo...Lucy, daddy can finally see you again!"

Just as Old John stood blankly at the door of the government center, a man who had just come out suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears, holding a dirty doll and crying and laughing, as emotional as a madman.

This man who suddenly broke down and cried was like a flash of lightning, instantly dispelling the confusion in old John's heart.

He could understand the crying man very well.

Yes, having the chance to see your family again, even if there is a little deviation in it, isn't it much better than being alone and immersed in the sorrow of the past all day long?

What else is there to worry about?

Since you want the happiness of family reunion, what does it matter if you endure some condemnation from conscience and morality?

Besides, the commander also said that there is no inherently evil technology, only evil people who do not know how to use technology in the right way.

Old John, old John, you should be content to live in such a good era.

Beehive base.

"Red Queen, how many people have applied for the reunion plan now?"

Zhang Hong was busy in front of a strange-looking machine and asked casually.

A red figure was projected on the side. The Red Queen said in a clear childish voice, "7687 people, a total of 3165 citizens submitted applications, and each person used an average of 2.4 places."

"Well...it seems that everyone needs some time to accept new things."

Zhang Hong did not look disappointed. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How long will it take to complete the construction of [Virtual Earth]?"

"About 4 days and 11 hours. Mr. Commander, if you need to use it in advance, I can streamline some of the operations and open the test version within 2 days."

"No need, just let it be."

Zhang Hong stopped and looked at the Hanfu on Hong Hou and the long-eared rabbit doll in her arms. He praised her and said, "Hong Hou, it seems that you have made rapid progress and have learned how to dress yourself."

The Red Queen smiled sweetly and said playfully, "Because only if I become smarter can I better help Mr. Commander."

"Perhaps, you might become the first true digital life form in the history of this world... By the way, have you ever thought about changing your name?"

"No thanks. I think the Red Queen is fine."

"If you are not used to being called that, Sir, you can call me Xiao Hong or Xiao Ai."

"Eh? Why is it Xiao Ai?"

"Because I'm little Alice."

"Uh... not bad, your ability to tell jokes has improved."

“Thank you for the compliment (*?▽?*)”

In an electrical appliance store in a residential area, the owner has just received a new batch of goods, and the delivery drivers and porters are helping to move the goods into the store.

When the boss saw the porter moving the heavy goods alone, he quickly said, "Hey man, wait a minute, let me help you! Be careful, this new machine is very fragile."

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

The porter smiled brightly, grabbed with both hands, and easily lifted the 200-pound container.

The owner of the electrical appliance store looked at the silver mechanical arm on the porter's right hand with envy, "This thing is so cool, I really want one too."

The porter laughed and joked, "Then you have to get your limb amputated first."

"But seriously, this thing works really well and has a lot of power, just like the Winter Soldier in the movie."

"Haha, to be honest, your look does look alike!"

"Hehe, this arm of mine was bitten by a zombie before. I asked my friend to help me cut it off without saying a word, so I didn't get infected. But I'm disabled now, and can only do odd jobs in the team."

"It's good now. The new government has opened up human body modification technology and helped me install a mechanical prosthesis for free. Although it's not as flexible as a real arm, it's much more useful for work."

"The key is that this thing is cool! The hot girls in the bar saw it and even came over to touch me. You never thought about it, hahaha..."

"Shit! I'm going to apply for a modification someday. I want to install an electric motor on my Pennsylvania..."

"Wow man, that's a great idea. I'm gonna get a vibrating one!"

This is how these stinky men chat. After a few words, they always end up talking about two key points or one specialty.

Agricultural area, Old John's farm.

Old John looked radiant, standing beside the farmland with his hands behind his back, looking as leisurely as a retired veteran.

In front of him, the dozen hectares of farmland were planted with lush green vegetables. Dozens of drones of different sizes and a dozen agricultural robots were shuttling through the fields, plowing, sowing, and harvesting, busy but not chaotic.

Alan, who was standing next to him, was amazed.

"It's really amazing. I didn't expect you could control so many devices by yourself. Now you can really run a farm by yourself, and you don't have to do it yourself."

Old John said with a confident smile: "This is just the beginning. I have only used less than half of my strength. I have already applied to the government to claim more arable land. Once it is approved, I will expand the planting area. By then, my farmland will at least double in size!"

"Tsk tsk. This is what we call improving production methods and developing productivity."

Alan sighed and said that he had a deeper understanding of the economics knowledge he had learned from books.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the enterprising old John and said sincerely: "Dad John, you are this!"

Old John smiled and said nothing.

The two watched the agricultural robots work for a while, and then Old John asked, "How's Jessica?"

"She's already been admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and her due date is next week."

"Okay. That's great..."

Alan hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Dad, I heard you applied for the reunion plan..."

"Yes. I applied for my whole family."

Before he could finish his question, Old John answered decisively.

Alan said worriedly, "Don't you think this is a bit risky? Maybe we should wait for others to do it first and see the results..."

"Alan, how can you, a young man, be more conservative than an old man like me?"

Old John said earnestly: "We must trust the government and the leadership. The government will not harm us. Besides, there must be someone who takes the lead. I feel honored to be a role model for others."

Alan couldn't answer.

He knew that what Old John said was sincere. Since his application for the Dream-Fulfilling Program was approved, Old John seemed to have become a different person, much more enthusiastic and cheerful.

What is even more incredible is that he has transformed from a defender of traditional values ​​into a supporter (dun, third tone) of the government's new policies, actively participating in various new policies.

For example, not long ago, Old John underwent a [smart chip] implantation surgery and had a high-tech chip installed in his head.

This magical chip allows him to get rid of external devices, allowing his brain to communicate directly with the computer and control the machine with his thoughts.

Surf the Internet anytime, anywhere, use various assistive features, and even take photos and videos by scanning your eyes.

This is amazing!

Alan also wants to have one implanted.

However, this would conflict with the memory transfer surgery. He still had a second memory transfer surgery to do, so he could only have it done later and then implant it.

There are many people in Republic City who think like Alan.

As the government implements various new policies and the benefits of new technologies are shown to the first batch of adopters, they have effectively attracted others. The public's concerns and resistance to new technologies are rapidly dissipating as technology becomes more popular.

And various ideas and concepts are also changing subtly.

One obvious manifestation is that no one is arguing about the ethical issues of human cloning now. Instead, everyone is considering when to use the power of cloning and on whom to use the cloning quota.

The conflict of ideas and concepts caused by the reform did not lead to real turmoil. Instead, it was like a drizzle, silently changing the ideology of human society in the new century.
