Hollywood Domination Chapter 375: Liar

"I think anyone who is mature enough can understand that there must be something wrong in this world." In the restaurant, the main plate has been removed, desserts are placed in front of the two of them, and the red wine is half down. He said with a smile, "It can be said that the atomic bomb destroyed all of this—after World War II, the speed of human reproduction became faster and faster, but the main areas could not reduce the number of people through war. Except for Africa, Europe, Asia, America... nuclear The bundling strategy makes the population continue to increase, and all kinds of ugly phenomena become more and more obvious. You will find that there are many people in this world... They are more like beasts, the kind of instinctive evil and - the most unbearable ——Stupid—”

He shook his head, and his expression became serious, "I'm not talking about the poor, you must understand this, Kelly, I'm talking about those who slow down the progress of mankind, those who make drugs, The people who sell it, the ones who started the wars and rose to power, they're amazingly stupid, and because of their stupidity, they're taking the world in a bad direction, you know what I mean, these people don't understand the future Responsible, according to the current speed, oil and coal can only last for hundreds of years, but Wellington's research on alternative energy has been harassed by interest groups-they are too stupid to see the future, they will only Be attracted by the scenery in front of you for three minutes.”

Although they knew that the director was trying to give the villain some charm points, like Kelly, the audience couldn't help but nod their heads: At this time, they would never remember that they live in the city with the highest resource consumption per capita. In China, the waste of resources has even reached an outrageous level. Instead, he would naturally think that he was on the side of justice, judging those stupid and evil humans with Tom - he was right, the existence of these people is indeed of no help to humans.

"If you look at the measurement of a century, you will find that although human beings have reached unprecedented heights in the past three hundred years and our way of life has undergone great changes, in fact , we are also in a great crisis. And science is the way out of everything, and Einstein is the answer to everything—general relativity, time travel, planetary immigration—”

With the cooperation of Kelly nodding from time to time and expressing approval from the bottom of her heart, Tom became more and more interested in talking. He talked about his views with some excitement, and his expression could even be said to be somewhat holy. , "And this is why the Wellington Group values ​​the ds gene so much - as one of the largest economic organizations in the world, I think this is the obligation of the Wellington Group - to consider the future of the planet, which is our duty ——"

Judging from his pious expression, Tom has nothing to do with the villain at all, and his theory can't help but make people mutter to themselves, and his villain identity has been shaken again. Zachary Quinto's His acting skills exploded completely in this paragraph, and his innate evil energy seemed to be completely subdued. The eager and fanatical expression did not feel crazy, but like an enthusiastic believer, giving people the feeling of "although I don't quite agree with you, but you seem like you're doing it for everyone's...' favor.

As if under the influence of Tom, Kelly's sense of superiority gradually disappeared. Her expression didn't change much, but she could easily see the change in her attitude - her eyes were a little dazed from usual, Looking at you is also like looking at an alien, becoming focused and concentrated, and nodding involuntarily when listening. Was she totally impressed by Tom, or was she acting? Now even the audience doesn't know, because Tom's theory isn't evil and seems pretty normal at the moment.

"Oh, and speaking of which, I have to apologize to you, Kelly," Tom said suddenly, watching Kelly's reaction with a smile on his eyes. , "Oh, no, no, no, let me pay the bill-this is actually the property of the Wellington Consortium, it is my home field-"

The camera cuts, and the next second, Tom and Kelly are sitting in Kelly's car, driving past the sign of Wellington Park, and Tom continues, "Speaking of which, I have to say You apologize, Kelly—in fact, all your research on the ds gene has been under surveillance, even before you joined the job, we also investigated you—"

He suddenly revealed the hidden information that Kelly was being watched by default, which surprised Kelly and made the audience feel unprepared-this twist exceeded people's expectations, and it was also a big surprise for them. Strong stimulation.

Kelly turned her head to look at Tom, and the camera once again entered the 'Kelly's field of vision', but this time, the camera focused on a few places and found nothing wrong, and finally reported an error in a daze, and returned to reality .

"What?" She said, and stepped on the brakes, her expression was so surprised that people couldn't help secretly praising Kelly's acting skills-at this time, she should be surprised, if she is completely innocent, for being If the fact of surveillance is not discovered. "Surveilled? But this shouldn't require employee consent—and cameras—"

"I know that this violates your rights, but considering the importance of the ds gene, please understand that we really have no choice." Of course Tom said sorry immediately, and he signaled Kelly to continue driving Go to the laboratory and take her into the laboratory on the 2nd floor. "I know, you tested the performance of rats for a day today..."

He turned on the computer equipment familiarly, and called out the experimental video of the afternoon: the rats walked the maze, ran the flywheel, and did various tests. And Tom took out a rat and touched it gently - the rat, which usually struggled very much, behaved very tame today, and even showed a gesture of attachment to Tom's hand.

Kelly's eyes widened in surprise, and Tom laughed in surprise.

"Oh, it's starting to work," he said, "You see, he's already understood the gap between human beings and his status, that attachment and obedience can bring food, and maybe even prolong life—if it's If IQ can understand this step.”

As he spoke, he put the rat into the maze. "The ds gene, also known as the genius gene, Kelly, is a hidden gene commonly carried by human beings. According to the collection and investigation of the genetic maps of the Wellington Group in the global region, more than 70% of the population may carry this gene. Gene, the only difference is whether the gene is awakened, whether it is expressed... and after being activated by the r287 protein..."

He made a "look at" action, "ta-dah, within 48 hours, the experimental body will undergo obvious changes, and you will find that the rat's senses are more sensitive——"

This is a maze that can be freely modulated. Tom made it very difficult to design. Among the six switches of different colors, three switches corresponding to the color on the door must be pressed to open the door. After observing the door for a while, he stepped forward and pushed the switch with his nose.

"Think faster."

Kelly couldn't help but gasp when she saw the rat cracking the mechanism with extraordinary speed, going straight to the center of the maze with a clear goal, and got the food. For the first time since the beginning of the movie, her expression appeared Emotions of 'longing' and 'dream'.

"fascinating..." she said, and hastened to Tom's side, pressing her hand to the glass fascinatedly.

"More communicative*." Tom said - after the rat got the food, it didn't eat it right away, but called Tom twice, as if it knew it was the food he gave. He turned his head and smiled softly at Kelly, "If I had to use that word, it would be more—human, don't you think?"

"Humanization is a very human word," Kelly said quickly, almost pressing her face to the glass box, "This is not humanization, my God, this is not a genius gene, this is—this It is a gene that promotes the development and evolution of organisms..."

"Yes." A clear expression of approval flashed on Tom's face, "Genes are not good or bad. Evolution is an accidental phenomenon, and it takes a long time. Natural selection - the reason why this kind of gene is precious is exactly It is because the observation ability, communication ability and thinking ability brought by it are more suitable for the survival of the species in the current environment of the earth..."

"Whether the population carrying this mutant gene can reproduce and occupy the mainstream position will determine the time when the human race will occupy the dominant position in the long biological generation..." Kelly murmured.

"Yes, yes!" Tom became emotional, "I knew you would understand! —Kelly, we are in the process of evolution! This is a game with ten thousand years as the unit, Human beings have been the most advanced so far. We have developed step by step from a monkey on the African grassland to the present. Every step of evolution—the enlargement of the brain and the shortening of the arms—is a key step. Will be a genius ten thousand years ago, because—"

"Brain capacity," Kelly said absently, "the brain capacity of ancient humans 10,000 years ago was only half of that of modern humans. They are destined to be more... stupid than modern humans."

"Yes, stupid." Tom said loudly, pointing to the rat, "that's how we see ancient humans, and that's how Einstein saw ordinary people—and that's how we see those whose genes are not activated way kelly the next pivotal event in the history of human evolution is close at hand the ds gene spread to 70% of the human population within hundreds to thousands of years maybe it will be in the next round if nothing intervenes Dominant between a hundred years and a thousand years, and then passed on from generation to generation, more and more babies with the ds gene being dominant, human beings lacking gene expression will be eliminated naturally...In tens of thousands of years, human beings will enter...enter the next generation A generation, enter a new generation!"

His fierce voice echoed in the empty laboratory, and Kelly's distraught and completely shocked expression also became the background for Tom. Tom raised his hand, as if giving a speech, and said enthusiastically, " But it must be a race against time against the process of human self-destruction, Kelly, do you understand? The general public may think that humans are the protagonists of the universe, and they cannot see the world from our perspective-from five billion years At this point in time, looking down at this young race, during these five billion years, countless thriving races have disappeared into history silently, and human beings are not immune to death. Nuclear wars, asteroid impacts, Yellowstone Volcano, Great Earthquake, Ice Age—in tens of millions of years, there are too many accidents that can destroy the human race, who knows if luck is on our side this time?”

He waved his hand vigorously, "And what we have to do now is to artificially promote this process before human beings are destroyed, do you understand, Kelly? Push human beings to the next one before they are destroyed by planetary accidents Generations—promote to a new generation! This is what you are doing, and you will be famous in history in the future—you will be the key person to promote human evolution!"

He walked towards Kelly, held her hand, and said softly, "Now, do you still blame the Wellington Group for secretly monitoring your experiment process? Kelly, do you understand now? —— and race survival We really have no other choice.”

There was silence in the auditorium. Although Tom had a monologue for almost three minutes just now, no one felt that his performance was too extreme, or that this scene was a bit boring-the explanation in a simple and simple way made everyone think what Tom said. It makes sense: to a person with basic common sense, Tom is not lying, these are scientific facts, and this makes the whole 'ds gene' hypothesis more convincing, at least not like 'by a spider Like "Suddenly have superpowers after taking a bite", you will clearly know that it is fake: both are pseudoscience, but this kind of pseudoscience makes people more convinced and intoxicated.

Is he a villain after all... Some people began to doubt again: Tom's thinking is normal, and it can even be said to be great, and he really looks at it from the perspective of human survival. There are even many female viewers who have already fallen in love with Tom - so handsome, so talented, and so rich in money, it's hard not to like him.

Nodding numbly, it was regarded as approval of Tom's words. Kelly shook off his hand and walked to the edge of the glass box again.

"This is why you want to mass-produce the r287 protein..." she said, "to push humans into the next generation...but...how will this be done?"

She turned around and seemed to have entered the research mode, "First of all, genetic testing must be done, at least under the current conditions - it is impossible to distribute compound 876 indiscriminately...compound 876 It's deadly poison to someone without the gene—"

"That's why I want you to continue to improve the compound," Tom said with a smile. For the carrier, it is a wake-up agent, but for the non-carrier, it is safe and harmless—"

"I understand." Kelly nodded, "This incident...is indeed of great significance. If I can really become a promoter of this cause, I...will feel very honored."

She looked touched, even as devout as Tom—but then immediately, Kelly's vision fell, and this time, Tom was clearly visible and in focus—

However, in the next second, accompanied by a loud sound, a big 'liar' suddenly appeared, and was slapped on Tom's face...
