Chapter 1039: A Choice Without a Choice—Death
Many people will face many choices in this life, and a philosopher once said, "Life is a process of continuous choice." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
That's true. From the moment people are born, they are actually faced with a variety of choices. The baby age is constantly choosing toys, the childhood is constantly choosing toys and games, and the student age will face more choices, as for the society, choice has become a daily work.
And what is the most important choice in this life? It's hard to say, but there is a choice that everyone can't bypass, and everyone has no choice when faced with this choice, so they can only passively and helplessly accept it!
It is death!
From the moment of human birth, death is an indispensable choice in a person's life, and no one can escape this choice, and no one can choose not to die. Death is the ultimate multiple-choice question that a person has to face since birth, and there is no second choice for you to choose, you can only choose the choice that you cannot escape despite your unwillingness to accept everything.
Therefore, from the moment the word death was born, it was destined to become one of the most feared words in the world. Over time, death has become one of the most feared outcomes of human beings.
It can be said that there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death, even if he really doesn't care whether he dies or not, but out of animal instinct, he will still have a variety of emotions at the moment when death really comes, including fear.
Even a fool will be terrified when death comes. It doesn't matter what spirit is not spiritual, it is purely an instinctive reaction of an animal, and man cannot suppress this instinct at all.
It is for this reason that human beings have been full of various expectations for immortality since ancient times, and have worked hard for thousands of years to achieve immortality.
From Qin Shi Huang in China, to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, to some great independence in modern times. Judges, they are all spending their lives in the pursuit of immortality.
And in fact, it's not just those big people who hold a lot of power who are pursuing immortality, it's ordinary ordinary people, who doesn't expect to be immortal? Even if it's a beggar who has nothing, is destitute, and has not eaten the last meal, if you let him die now, he will definitely spit on you.
Although people are poor and can no longer be poor, and there is no hope in life, they are not willing to die early, and they also hope to live for two more years!
As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live, that's what I said.
Modern human medicine is becoming more and more developed, and diseases such as smallpox and the Black Death, which used to ravage human beings, have disappeared without a trace under the control of modern medicine. Tuberculosis and inflammatory infections that were helpless to humans in the past can now be cleaned up at their fingertips. The reason why human medicine has always been at the forefront of human science is to live a long life.
Don't use the lofty reasons for benefiting the health of all mankind and eliminating diseases for all mankind as a pretense, even if they are, the essence of these pretenses is to allow mankind to live two more years. The most fundamental essence is one word - fear of death!
Tang Feng is also afraid of death, and Tang Feng also hopes that he can live for two more years. Therefore, when Tang Feng learned that the lifespan of the people in the Star Covenant was actually based on millions of earth years, the shock in his heart could be imagined.
Millions of years of life, in the eyes of earthlings, that is definitely immortality. Not to mention that the old man Andro has lived for more than 900 Star Alliance years, which is equivalent to more than 900 million years of life on Earth, if people know, then they can't be stunned?
Even Eric and the others are all masters who have lived for hundreds of years!
The genes of the earthlings are the same as Eric's, and they all come from the old man Andro. Logically speaking, if those two can live for so long, the earthlings should also be able to live for so long. Can the life span of a Mao Earth person only be a hundred years?
For this reason, Tang Feng had thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, and in all the information left by Old Man Andro, there was no hint about prolonging life.
It wasn't until he met Eric again this time and successfully condensed a star core for the Doug family that Eric told the secret of prolonging his life under Tang Feng's questioning.
The mystery is simple, but when it comes to it, it's extremely difficult. Of course, this incomparably difficult refers to all other earthlings except Tang Feng, the owner of Tang Feng's stellar star core, and is the only exception on the entire earth.
Without him, because Tang Feng is the owner of the star core, and on Earth, other people don't even know what the star core is.
In fact, the key to prolonging lifespan lies in the star core!
The star core is an extremely special existence, and even the Star Alliance, which has a highly developed scientific and technological civilization, has not figured out what the star core is for so many years. But it is undeniable that the star core contains the core essence of a planet, a star system and even a river system, so the star core has all kinds of magical effects that make people feel incredible.
One of the main effects of this is that it can extend the lifespan of the owner of the star core almost indefinitely.
The owner of a star core, even if it is only the owner of a lowly primary star core, because the moment the star core merges with itself, its own genes will be completely changed by the star core. As a result, even the owners of the lowliest primary cores will have a lifespan of up to two hundred years.
The owner of a fifth-level planetary star core has a lifespan of up to 500 star alliance years, while the owner of a stellar star core has a lifespan of 1,000 star alliance years. As for the lifespan of the owner of the river-level star core, even the Star Alliance does not know at the moment. Because at present, the longest appearance of a river-level star core in the Star Covenant has only appeared in more than a thousand Star Alliance years......
So, as long as you can have a Star Core, then your lifespan will immediately increase by many years, or even many times!
Of course, this theorem is currently only suitable for the Covenant people living in the Star Alliance, and intelligent beings outside the Star Covenant cannot gain such a long lifespan for the time being, even if the Star Core owner is the same.
Just like Tang Feng, although he now has a stellar star core, this stellar star core extends his lifespan by about a hundred times at most, that is to say, Tang Feng's current lifespan is only about 10,000 years, one hundredth of a star alliance year.
Why is this happening? Eric also gave a definite answer. That is, the earthlings have not gone through the genetic modification process of the Star Alliance, so the various magical abilities contained in the genes have not yet been stimulated. Only when the earth's civilization can truly integrate into the Star Alliance, then the earth's people are eligible to enjoy this genetic modification.
If an ordinary earthling undergoes this kind of genetic modification after birth, after three consecutive genetic modifications of varying degrees, the lifespan of this ordinary earthling will be extended to fifty star league years! (To be continued.) )
