883 Disasters and Rules
eternal life……
What a seductive word, this is definitely the ultimate goal pursued by countless intelligent creatures, and it also extends countless topics.
As early as ancient China on Earth, the First Emperor who was the first to unify the Central Plains of China once tried every means to live forever. Until more than two thousand years later, modern scientists were unable to solve this problem. For countless years, as the old man said, in the cognition of the earth civilization, only those omnipotent gods can have this ability that is admired by mortals, or it is precisely because of this ability that these gods have become the belief of mortals.
It is precisely because of eternal life that we can do everything and cannot even be able to do eternal life. Can we still be called... God?
However, when I heard that the Samsung civilization had developed a way to make their lives immortal for a long time ago, Prince Wang was definitely in a mixed mood.
As the old man said, in the eyes of many people on Earth, the Samsung civilization is really like the god-level civilization they imagined. Prince Wang believes that this is the same for the Chinese Star civilization. However, the existence of this civilization is also frightening. There is no doubt that this powerful civilization will begin to grow and plunder like cancer cells in this universe, and even as the old man analyzed before, or they can really conquer the entire universe.
When one has the ability to live forever, it is even hard to imagine what else can be used to stump such a civilization with extremely advanced material and technology lines that have almost been pointed to the peak. Prince Wang even firmly believed that if it weren't for the disaster that the old man mentioned, he would never have driven the spaceship alone like the interstellar Lei Feng, looking for different civilizations in the universe, and leaving behind various knowledge.
Soon, the old man's low voice rang again.
"That was 1,369th year of the Star Age, which was the second year of the development of the Source of Life. We suddenly discovered that many people of the age who were injected with the Source of Life lost their fertility. The reason why this situation delayed for so long was that, in small-scale experiments, no impact on fertility was found. Secondly, the source of life was given priority to vaccination with the elderly who were about to reach the end of their lives, and soldiers who might die at any time. And they almost didn't consider fertility issues!"
"The reason why this issue was quickly valued was because it first affected the privileged class of the Samsung civilization at that time. They used various methods to prioritize the benefits brought by the source of life, but they also tasted the bitter fruit first! Dozens of stillbirth appeared in the most noble family of our civilization. However, before our vital scientists could figure out what the problem was, they found that our civilization quickly lost its fertility because of the source of life."
"What's sad is that the scientists who were so confident that they could even be called arrogant at that time did not realize the seriousness of the problem. They believed that this problem was just a small setback in the process of immortality of our civilization. It didn't take long to solve this problem and let everything return to the right track. Moreover, in addition to affecting fertility, no other impact on health was found. On the contrary, at that time, the source of life saved the lives of countless three-star people and proved to be effective. Therefore, there was no suspension of measures to continue to promote the source of life at that time. Obviously, the facts were far less simple than these scientists imagined."
"More and more Samsung people are losing their fertility. We have saved countless elderly lives, but the younger generation is no longer able to come to this world. Just as our scientists finally realized the seriousness of the problem and are ready to suspend the supply of life sources across the planet. Until this problem is completely solved, even more severe disasters will come when the immortality technology is not promoted to fertile people of appropriate age!"
"A unprecedented virus suddenly swept across our planet. Can you believe it? In a highly developed civilization, we have even studied immortal technology, but it cannot stop the rampant virus! Moreover, this virus is fierce and the infection target is very clear. It is only targeted at those people who have not been vaccinated with the source of life, that is, those young and middle-aged people in our civilization who happen to be infertile. And once infected, the mortality rate reaches 100%, without exception. The most terrifying thing is that this virus attacks extremely quickly, and there has never been more than two hours of cases from infection to death! This is also the most incomprehensible."
"We all know that viruses will continue to evolve. In order to prolong their life, these microorganisms usually have variants. They will adapt to the environment in our body, make our bodies sick, but will not die immediately. But this virus is different. It appears to be to seize life. It is like a genetic virus designed specifically for the genes of our Samsungs. Even scientists can't stop the spread of this virus even if they study it day and night!"
"Scientists are helpless. A large number of young and middle-aged people face the threat of death every day. The most heavy losses are naturally those who migrated to a small star because of opposing the source of life. Almost all the planet was slaughtered by viruses. There is no doubt that in this case, the source of life has once again become a life-saving straw for our Samsung civilization. In the face of the civilization crisis, the pharmaceutical factories responsible for producing this source of life obviously cannot consider profit issues and fully disclose the manufacturing process and production methods of the source of life. At that time, almost all pharmaceutical factories in the Samsung civilization began to work overtime to produce, and vaccinate all Samsung people with this preparation that can make people achieve their dream of immortality for free."
"You should be able to guess what happens next. All the survivors of our civilization have been injected with this potion that can make us immortal, and have endless lifespans, but we have always lost the ability to reproduce. Our scientists have even given up their efforts in this regard, because everything is futile. Or from the moment the source of life is developed, everything is destined! That's right, when a planet's civilization reaches its peak and tries to challenge the balance of the entire universe, disasters follow."
"Now the problem is here. Is there any hope for a top civilization that has no new generation and can only be supported by more than 4 billion individuals? What's more sad is that most of them are still three-star people who have entered the old age like me. Compared with the vast universe, the four billion individuals are so small that they can even be ignored. Any small administrative star can accommodate so many entities. But we are a huge civilization with hundreds of administrative stars! That's right, we survived by luck and have endless life, but we have lost the hope of continuing to develop as a civilization. The great Samsung civilization was brought into the twilight years by the most outstanding group of scientists at that time!"
The old man said here, with an extremely sad look on his face. On the contrary, Loka Dengli, who was sitting next to him, was glad on his face. Only the prince Wang seemed to be unmoved at all. Gu Jingbubo on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
...
Wang Xinyao, who was sitting in the dark room, was already fascinated by it.
She really didn't expect that after a long and boring wait, she could hear such a wonderful story from an alien old man who was not very good-looking. Although the old man described it very simply, the little girl could use her rich imagination to make all the pictures told by the old man concrete, and imagine the magnificent scenes.
The spectacular scene of three earth-like planets revolving around stars, the rise of a high-level civilization, the heart-wrenching robot riot, the magnificent interstellar war, and an immortal civilization... At this moment, the little girl's mind was impressed by the long history of the Samsung civilization that was countless times more exciting than the earth civilization.
For a ten-year-old girl, she can't consider so many profound things for the time being. At this time, she is more sympathetic to the experience of Samsung civilization.
A race that cannot be continued, the loneliness of the hero and the desolation on the old man's face deeply touched this little girl who was not yet experienced in the world.
She hadn't thought that it might be this kind of intervention of the laws of the universe that allowed the earth's civilization to escape a catastrophe that had already arrived. If it weren't for the situation of the Samsung civilization, or the old man in front of her might not have arrived at the earth with the mentality of inheritance.
...
He ignored Wang Xinyao and showed a slightly childish mentality. At this time, Prince Wang's expression of Gu Jing Bubo was like a stormy wave.
The laws of the universe, these four words echoed in his mind.
If according to the old man, there is indeed a force in the dark to ensure that the universe continues to operate in a normal and orderly manner.
When a civilization tries to break the shackles of the laws, disasters follow one after another. Samsung civilization is the most distinctive example. The history told by the old man gave him an extremely vivid moment. In fact, some laws can be seen from the nature of the earth. Generally speaking, the larger the size, the more resources you need to feed few natural enemies, and the longer lifespan is often more difficult to reproduce. For example, the reproduction cycle of elephants is very slow, with the reproduction interval reaching four to six years. The reproduction cycle of mice is only 40 days.
The entire ecosystem has always maintained a delicate balance. Once the balance is broken, things often happen disastrously.
Now it seems that the same is true when enlarged to the cosmic level.
Once the development of a civilization transcends a certain limit, force majeure factors will quietly appear.
With the development of the Samsung civilization as the old man said, he had no choice but to have any help from a virus. Apart from the freedom and power in the dark, the prince could no longer think of anything to describe how this situation occurred.
Losing fertility can also be explained by the flaws in the source of vaccinated life, but the sudden outbreak of the virus is really unexplainable. If it were human factors, Prince Wang really didn't believe that the development of Samsung civilization at that time would not be able to find out what was going on.
However, now seeing the old man's sigh with a hint of awe, Prince Wang believes that even in the history of Samsung civilization, there is still no explanation.
"What then?" Just when the old man was obviously still remembering the past, the prince of the king suddenly asked.
The old man glanced at Prince Wang and sighed: "Oh, then, then there is nothing. The bitter fruit has been planted, and we can only bear it ourselves! At that time, only 4.3 billion people remained in the entire Samsung civilization and were scattered to hundreds of administrative stars. The source of life was completely sealed. A group of scientists started a long research again, and the external conquest was also paused. Our civilization entered a dormant period, hiding in our corner, licking the wound silently!"
"Fortunately, although the civilizations we conquered have undergone genetic modification to a certain extent, the virus does not seem to have much impact on them. Therefore, in our star domain, we can maintain a slow development momentum. In addition, we have a long and long life, every single remaining individual of our civilization has begun to devote ourselves to the dedication. However, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and too many people have discovered that immortality is not as beautiful as imagined. The genetic defects caused by the source of life have never been repaired. Scientists have not found a way to reproduce us again, and even cloning is not possible. Many desperate compatriots are so empty that they choose to fly a spacecraft alone or in a team, and enter the vast space to self-destruct to end their lives, because only in this case can the super cells in our body be completely eliminated in an almost empty space, so that our eternal life will eventually consume all energy and return to the embrace of the universe because we cannot get any supplements!"
"In recent times, in a recent statistics, there are only about one billion people left in the entire Samsung civilization, and others are either missing or have already been cut off from the world. In order to solve this situation, our philosophers came up with another way to give all immortals a new goal! It is to voluntarily become the inheritors of civilization."
"A person, a spaceship, is full of our civilization's technological routes, embark on a journey, find a backward civilization, sneak in, impart the knowledge we once had, and then observe, without interfering, just observe!"
