Chapter 281: Life

To the north is the road to Afuhan, and it is not far from the border.

It's not the first time I've been forced to take a detour, but this time it's different, because this time I'm going to encounter a city that is completely overrun by alien creatures.

There are certain obstacles, and everyone is prepared for this, but when communication is cut off and there is no way to know what is going on elsewhere, a small town like Quetta in a remote corner is completely overrun by alien creatures, which means that in the rest of the world, the situation can only be worse.

So I can only go to Afuhan, all things considered, there is no better route at the moment.

According to meteorological data, in this season, the temperature in the desert during the day can reach more than 40 degrees, and the night can drop to zero or even below, such a climate is obviously not suitable for insects.

If you don't go to Afghanistan, you can only take a detour to the Indus Valley, which is the most densely populated area in Pakistan, with a hot climate and a dense water network, which is more suitable for insects no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, although Afuhan is a perennial war-torn country, under comprehensive consideration, it can only go to Afuhan.

The border will only be reflected on the map, but when you really go to the border, except for a small border town, you can't see the boundary between the two countries at all.

Bidding farewell to the Pakistani troops who had sent them to each other, they left the road, bypassed the border town, and drove into the territory of Afuhan.

Walking in the desert was full of roads, and roads became dispensable, and this terrain continued until they bypassed the border town of Spin Burdak in Afuhan, until they had to return to the road after entering a mountainous area.

But when you get here, there will be no human population, and without human population, there will naturally not be a large number of zombies.

The road conditions were very bad, there were some bumps, the car drove half a day and a night, before dawn came, the convoy left the road, and after a search, in a mud house on the side of the road, rested from five in the morning to one at noon.

It's been more than three months, and the time spent in the car is much longer than the time on the ground, and everyone is familiar with it every day except for chatting and chatting.

So there are still some fresh things every day, and there is only hope that Galaxy can tell you about the mysteries of the universe.

Now Xinghe has become a treasure girl, whether she can understand what she says or not, but as long as she hasn't heard it, this is the importance of freshness.

"Xinghe, can you tell me how you treat diseases?"

As a doctor, Wang Ning wanted to know for a long time what height the aliens' scientific and technological level could reach in terms of medical treatment, but when Zhao Qiang was alive, others did not have this opportunity to get close to the galaxy and communicate without barriers.

Now, with Gao Yuan's permission and Li Yang's acquiescence, Xinghe can tell everything she knows, provided that she wants to.

If you don't do this, it's really hard to maintain the morale of this team, the future is bleak, no one knows how far they can hold out, and if this morale can always be kept high, it is really unrealistic.

"Medical?"

Xinghe looked at the porridge in the basin, and then she put down the porridge basin and said indifferently: "After the genetic technology reaches a certain level, getting sick has become a very old and long-term thing for us, because all newborns have undergone genetic screening before they speak out, and some bad genes will be deleted, so genetic diseases will not exist." ”

Wang Ning immediately said: "I know that after you arrived on the earth, you stayed in your mecha for a long time, because you have to adapt to the earth's environment, so during this time, did you first establish your adaptability to the earth's microbial environment?" ”

Xinghe smiled: "Yes, I need to build an immune system for myself against the earth's environment, it will take a while, and then, I need to inject a certain amount of robots into my body, real nano-scale robots, the size of white blood cells, distributed in my subcutaneous tissue, as a supplementary part of my own immune system, if I am attacked by viruses or bacteria, these nano-scale robots will take the initiative, but more importantly, if I am injured, these nano-scale robots will repair my damaged parts." ”

Wang Ning said cautiously: "Then the medical warehouse ...... Can you tell us about how it works? ”

Xinghe spread his hands and said: "For you, technology is becoming more and more developed, but for us, because of two consecutive technological interruptions, our scientific and technological level is gradually declining, and the medical warehouse left on the earth is the product of the peak of our science and technology. ”

Everyone looked at Xinghe, and Xinghe continued: "First of all, there are a large number of recyclable robots in the medical warehouse, which can use human tissue as building materials, cut and transport healthy cells from other intact locations, and reassemble a new complete organ, all of which are fully automated. ”

Wang Ning nodded again and again, his face was already showing his fascination.

Galaxy continued: "Systemic diseases that are difficult to solve on Earth, such as spreading cancer cells, are not worth mentioning in front of the nanobots carried by the medical warehouse, but this is only the most basic application method, and the value of the medical warehouse is that it is not just a medical device, but a small biological laboratory. ”

"Biology lab?"

"Biological laboratory, it just needs to be operated manually, if you want to make a vaccine against a certain virus, then you need to put the virus sample into the medical warehouse, because we are a civilization that can travel through space, and the viruses encountered are also varied, so such a small laboratory is a must for every spacecraft."

After Xinghe finished speaking, she thought for a while and said, "Don't ask me how I made it, your scientists have already asked, but I can only say that there are other instruments that make this medical warehouse and the ultra-micro robots inside, and I don't understand the others at all, because ......"

"Because you're just an explorer, not a scientist."

Several people finished the rest of the words for Xinghe, because when Xinghe ended a topic, he always used this sentence as a conclusion.

However, this time, Wang Ning didn't want to end the topic like this, he said thoughtfully: "So your medical treatment focuses on prevention rather than treatment, and mainly uses mechanical rather than chemical power, right?" ”

Xinghe smiled and said: "You don't know anything about the mysteries of the human body, any civilization is developing in the general direction in the early stage, such as building bigger cities, building bigger machinery, flying higher, and running faster, but when will it start to develop in the direction of small, you can better understand yourself and better recognize this universe, so big and small are not two opposite directions, but two parallel roads." ”

Xinghe's words seemed to be very philosophical, and Wang Ning said, "What does this mean?" How small can it be? Atom? Electron? Proton? ”

Only Wang Ning and Xinghe can have a dialogue to this extent, but it is obvious that Wang Ning is still not qualified.

Xinghe said a very obscure word, because it was her native language, and after speaking, she said with a relaxed face: "The earth has no corresponding language, I can't describe to you the end of what we have discovered, but I want to tell you that the universe has no end to the big, but the small is also endless, it can be approached, but there is no end, do you understand?" ”

Wang Ning thought for a moment, and then he nodded and said, "I understand, but you said that I don't know anything about the human body, what do you say...... What is the meaning? After all, our current technology is enough for us to ......"

Xinghe interrupted Wang Ning without hesitation, and she said with a serious face: "The lifespan of human beings is only a few decades, let alone truly understanding the mysteries of the human body." ”

Celestial beings have achieved near-eternal life, so let's not argue with Xinghe about this.

Wang Ning thought for a while and said, "I still have a question, that is, since your technology has developed to the point where it can reorganize organs, then it seems that it can achieve resurrection after death, right?" For example, even if you are shot in the heart, as long as you create a new heart and make the heart beat, wouldn't you be able to resurrect from the dead? ”

Xinghe shook her head, and then she said very seriously: "Yes, but this is not a resurrection, because what we have never mastered is the mind, we can let a person who has been dead for a few hours recover his breathing, but his brain has become blank, this is not as simple as you think of brain death, because even if we maintain the oxygen supply to the brain, so that the brain will not be brain dead due to lack of oxygen, but the dead person still cannot recover his consciousness before his death, why is this happening, it is a mystery to us, A mystery that still can't be cracked. ”

Wang Ning frowned and said: "If you can keep the oxygen supply to the brain and avoid brain death, then this situation should not occur." ”

Xinghe smiled, and then she whispered, "So in a phrase that you can understand, it's that we believe in souls, we don't believe in gods, or we think we are gods, but we still believe in souls, because we can't explain all this except souls." ”

When he said this, Wang Ning could still understand it, so he said very blankly: "Is it true that after science reaches the end, it is theological arguments." ”

Xinghe shook his head and said, "No, you are wrong, the reason I have just said, since there is no end to science, then after the end is theology." ”

Speaking of theology, this is the professional scope of Li Shuzi, so he lifted his spirits and said: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, the Tao is the nature, according to our Taoist theory, if you can reach the state of the unity of heaven and man, that is to find the great way." ”

Wang Ning pursed his lips slightly, but Xinghe looked at Li Shuzi and smiled, "You're right." ”

Xinghe actually agreed with Li Shuzi's words, which surprised everyone, and Wang Ning was especially surprised, but just when Wang Ning wanted to argue or discuss it again, Li Jingang said on the side: "I don't want to interrupt you raising the bar, but we'd better leave quickly, someone is coming." ”
