Chapter 20: A Lonely World
When Su Meng used the remote control to switch the real-time image on the screen to the side that did not face the earth, he saw a starry sky dotted with stars.
Su Meng knew that most of the stars in the galaxy dotted the starry sky were galaxies, and to observe extragalactic galaxies, it was necessary to use high-precision instruments to do so.
Su Meng didn't know if humans had the ability to leave the galaxy, but at least the current humans didn't, and in the foreseeable future, at least for 10,000 years, humans would not have the ability to leave the galaxy.
Mirai is currently undergoing a second acceleration, which ends at 44 km/s relative to the Sun, a speed that will allow Mirai to escape the solar system.
As stated in previous meetings, there is no future for humanity remaining within the solar system, and the source of demons will devour everything at a rate that humans cannot predict.
Those flying demons will not be able to fly to an altitude of tens of kilometers in a short time, and then they will evolve stronger, and humans have no hope of returning to Earth.
Now, the earth, is equated with hell.
The Alliance of Light has held several meetings in the past few days, one of which officially renamed the zombie virus as the source of the demon and named the zombie as the demon.
"Ding Dong" At this time, the doorbell rang, and Su Meng looked at the display screen embedded in the wall next to the door, and there was a 1.2-meter-tall humanoid white robot standing outside, holding a tray with food in his hand.
This is a defense robot designed by the Bright Alliance on Earth, which can help humans fight in wartime and act as a service robot in peacetime.
"Minister Su, you and your sister's lunch has arrived." The white robot said.
The robot works according to a set program and delivers food at regular intervals every day.
Su Meng pressed the control button to open the door, the robot brought the tray in, and put it on the table, the robot's control system Su Meng also participated in the design, the performance is much better than before, at this moment the robot's action is very smooth, after placing the tray said: "Minister Su, just put the tray outside the door after eating." Then it made a gesture of allegiance by putting its hand on its chest, and then turned away.
Su Meng closed the door, looked at the food in the tray, analyzed it with super sense, and then looked at the food in the tray, and with a thought, the food inside disappeared in the shimmer.
These foods disappeared suddenly, and were restored into energy by Su Meng using the negative space ability, and now Su Meng uses the negative space to devour matter, which can be done without contact.
Then Su Meng's heart moved, and a piece of food that looked the same as the food just now reappeared, and then Su Meng said to Su Tian: "Sister, eat, it has been reconstructed." ”
"Hmm" Su Tian nodded, Su Tian has no way to absorb energy to survive, she has to eat, Su Meng wants to make Su Tian's life longer, every time Su Tian eats food, Su Meng reconstructs and designs it, using special foods to extend Su Tian's lifespan, as long as she persists, it is estimated that Su Tian can at least double her lifespan.
Su Tian, who has evolved to the third stage, which is the final stage of ordinary life, can fully exert his maximum lifespan after being transformed by his body and eating the food made by Su Meng, and he can live for more than three hundred years.
Two more days passed, and Future began to gradually move away from the moon, which used to occupy half of the sky, but now it is only a quarter of the size of the sky.
The surface of the earth turned completely black, and the demons evolved the ability to absorb light, and the light that fell on the ground was absorbed by the demons, and the earth was no longer the earth it once was.
Humans have created demons that destroyed the Earth, and now the same kind of Demon Makers have fled the Earth.
On the Mirai spacecraft, strict anti-virus procedures are being implemented every day, and the source of the demons that accompanied the Mirai to space has also been cleared by various cosmic rays and human anti-virus methods, and because it was forced to stop evolution, these sources of demons are gradually becoming less and less, and as humans leave the solar system, these sources of demons will eventually fade away and disappear from the last spaceship of mankind.
The distress signal sent by the only space station of mankind to Mirai was ignored, after all, the people there were not qualified to enter Future, and it was best to leave them to fend for themselves, and any reckless behavior would bring disaster to Mirage, thus destroying the last spark of humanity.
Human beings have not mastered embryo breeding technology, and cloning technology is very immature, so when human beings enter space for three months, a major issue related to the future of mankind is raised.
At this moment, Miku has already begun to move towards Jupiter's orbit, and because the speed has reached escape velocity, Miraku will fly out of the solar system along a parabola, which will be calculated to cross Jupiter's orbit in three and a half years, when it will be more than 10 trillion kilometers away from Jupiter, making it impossible to observe Jupiter up close, but at the same time reducing unnecessary dangers.
At this moment, the twelve elders of the Light Alliance are participating in the virtual meeting.
Among them are Su Meng and Layton.
As the minister of science and technology, Su Meng is currently only responsible for listening.
The Minister of Social Affairs, John Jack, was there to talk.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if we humans want to continue, considering the current technology that we humans have, there is no way to enter a state of hibernation, which means that we will all die soon, and our generation will all die."
John Jack paused and continued: "Then I want to ask you a question, if we all die, will our civilization also be extinct? ”
The elders in the virtual conference room did not speak, but waited for John Jack's next words, after all, they were all wise men, and they knew that John Jack could not just ask such a question, he must have a solution, or wanted to put forward some proposal.
Sure enough, John Jack continued: "This is a lonely world, we humans must rely on ourselves if we want to survive, the upper limit of the carrying capacity of the Future is 5,000 people, but for safety, this upper limit must be limited to 4,000 people, that is, we can have another 500 children on the Future." ”
"Five hundred children, they represent the future of our humanity, so we need to select the best genes to pass on, and at the same time, for the health of the race, we must also ensure the diversity and excellence of genes."
"These 500 children will be born one after another in ten years, and they will not have fathers, but only mothers, after all, the old-fashioned concept on the earth is not suitable for us today."
"This is a detailed report, and I hope you can approve it." John Jack swiped his hand through the air, and a document was placed on the shared platform of the virtual conference room.
Su Meng downloaded it, and then looked at it.
The title is: "Research and Proposals on the Future Generations of the New Age of Mankind".
After reading it, Su Meng frowned slightly.
According to John Jack, the genes of these 500 children will be selected, optimized, and combined from all the human genes on the Future, and the genetic source data of these children will be kept secret, and then the Ministry of Science and Technology will organize the extraction of genes and eggs, and after the successful cultivation of embryos, surrogacy will be carried out by 500 mothers, and finally give birth to these 500 children.
The Senate, because of its special rights, should be restricted from having genes extracted, lest the members of the Senate seek personal gain.
The rest, whether they have resources or not, will be forced to extract their genes and be selected from the crowd.
The reason why Su Meng frowned was because she didn't want her sister to be selected into this plan.
"I agree with this bill, but I have one condition." Su Meng said.
Everyone else looked at Su Meng.
"My sister doesn't join this program, whether it's gene extraction, egg extraction, or surrogacy, it can't involve my sister. I love her so much. Su Meng said.
When the elders heard this, they were silent for a moment, and then agreed to Su Meng's request, promising that they would not force Su Tian to extract genes, but if Su Tian was willing, Su Meng was not allowed to stop it.
"I agree."
In the end, Su Meng signed her name on the proposal.
