Chapter 1 I am an early Homo sapiens

Next Chapter

In front of a bachelor apartment, several movers were carrying furniture to the pickup truck, and with the shouts of one, two, three, four, the bed board fell heavily into the car. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jiang Feng also carried the package, stuffed it into the back seat of his car, and handed a few cigarettes to the movers from time to time.

Just as the moving work was in order, several cars stopped in front of the building.

"Jiang Feng, you left in a hurry, and you didn't even notify us in advance." Out of the car came an old pedant with gray hair.

Although his hair is gray, his spirit is very strong, and he looks extremely young in a straight tunic on his body, but the old age spots on his face deeply betray his age.

"Professor Zhang, why are you here?" Jiang Feng, who was handing over the cigarette, smiled bitterly when he saw the old man, and walked over helplessly.

"If I don't come, you're really going to leave without saying a word." Zhang Yanjiang pretended to be angry and closed the car door heavily.

"How could I be, I'm not going to call you after I move."

Jiang Feng stood beside Zhang Yanjiang and said with a smile, looking like a good student.

In the past few years of working in the school, Jiang Feng has been taken care of by Zhang Yanjiang, as a well-known good professor in the history department, Zhang Yanjiang is not only friendly to students, but also praised among colleagues for promoting juniors.

"Xiao Jiang, I have to talk about you, if it weren't for the head of the department to show us your resignation application, we would all be kept in the dark by you."

Another professor from the history department, Huang, also walked over from the car.

Compared with Zhang Yanjiang, Huang Mo is much younger, but it is only relatively speaking, the wrinkles on his face show that Huang Mo has entered middle age.

"Haha, Professor Huang, you're here too."

Jiang Feng's expression became even more helpless.

"You're not going to tell us why you quit your job all of a sudden and then move?"

Huang Mo stepped out of the car and another person, a young woman, a lecturer in the history department, was only in her thirties, and she was very young in the education team of the university.

"What's the problem?" The female lecturer Li Jiasi walked to the corridor, still carrying some things in her hand, "The cooked food I just bought on the road should be used as a farewell meal." ”

"No, no problem, everything is fine."

Hearing Jiang Feng's perfunctory answer, the three instructors glanced at each other, and a trace of concern flashed in their eyes.

Jiang Feng shook his shoulders and let go of a position for Li Jiasi to pass.

Several professors had already been to Jiang Feng's apartment many times, and they found the house where the furniture was being moved.

"Fortunately, the sofa hasn't been moved yet." Li Jiasi put things on the coffee table and sat on the sofa.

Jiang Feng stood next to the sofa and put his hand on the leather of the sofa.

"I'll let the movers move the couch last."

"And the coffee table." The female lecturer patted the table top, "I'm going to eat a meal next." ”

Huang Mo moved a chair, and although he was middle-aged, Huang Mo often had a hearty smile on his face that only young people have.

"Let's be honest, Jiang Feng, why did you resign, it was too sudden, without a hint."

Li Jiasi, a female lecturer, also added: "You are only in your thirties now, and you are already in the position of full professor, the youngest full professor in the whole university. ”

"Still a full professor of 985 and 211." The elderly Zhang Yanjiang pointed at Jiang Feng, "Well, it only took ten years to become a full professor, and he is about to become a leader, are you still not satisfied with this kind of achievement?" ”

"Enough, enough, I'm satisfied, how can I not be satisfied." Jiang Feng shook his head, untied the cooked food brought by Li Jiasi, and took them out one by one.

I bought them at the deli next to the university, and the deli was also opened by a professor of food science at the university, and the quality was guaranteed.

"Let's be honest, Jiang Feng, you resigned in too much of a hurry, something must have happened to you." Zhang Yanjiang's old eyes were full of questions.

Jiang Feng pursed his mouth, and an unnatural look appeared on his face: "You should think that I am like those emotional college students, who have been stable in a peaceful life for a long time, and want to pursue a different life." ”

"Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance?" Huang Mo sat on the chair and let out a sneer, "It's really a young man's fantasy, but this is not like your usual style." ”

Jiang Feng shook his shoulders and didn't speak again, but walked to the kitchen.

"Since you brought the candied rice, I still have some good things here......

After seeing Jiang Feng leave, Huang Mo raised his chin: "Look, he's avoiding us again." ”

"There must be something unspeakable." Zhang Yanjiang took off the tunic he was wearing.

"Before I knew it, Xiao Jiang had been working in the department for ten years." Director Wang began to recall, "Don't say it, compared with ten years ago, Xiao Jiang doesn't seem to have changed much. ”

"Hey, it's true that Jiang Feng looks exactly the same as ten years ago, without a little aging, not a single gray hair, not even ...... Temperament, invisible and intangible, has not changed. ”

"It's a secret that all the female teachers in the school want to know." Li Jiasi looked at the kitchen, "What woman doesn't want to never age?" But it seems that the ability to never age has appeared in men. ”

"Strange people."

Zhang Yanjiang evaluated Jiang Feng in two words.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Feng came out of the kitchen, still holding a bottle of liquor in his hand that looked very old.

"How can you have no wine in the rice of candied food."

"Don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving." Although Huang Mo said that he would not drink, he walked over quickly and grabbed the wine bottle in Jiang Feng's hand.

The faculty members in the history department all know that Huang Mo is good at wine, and they also have a special study of wine.

"Hey, Moutai, you're really willing to spend your money." Huang Mo glanced at the wine bottle and couldn't pull it out, "Ouch, the three revolutions of the five-star brand, hiss...... You're so willing. ”

"What is reluctant to give, isn't good wine just used to drink when it should be drunk."

At this moment, a fat professor with a slightly upright belly and a soft face walked outside the door.

"Three Revolutions Moutai? Millions, little ginger, I didn't see that you were so rich. ”

"Director Wang, you laughed at me, how can you have any money." Jiang Feng shook his head, "It's the three revolutions of the 80s, the market price is more than 10,000, and the quality is not good, and the wine in it has volatilized a lot." Not worth a few bucks. ”

"Then you're welcome." After Huang Mo smiled at Director Wang, he hurriedly opened the cap of the wine bottle.

For a while, the rich aroma of wine filled the room, obviously, this bottle of wine was not as "volatile as Jiang Feng said".

"There is good wine, there is deliciousness, it is really a good farewell meal, Jiang Feng, don't sell it, we can't let you leave like this." Zhang Yanjiang found some paper cups and handed them to everyone, "It's really a tyrannical thing, drink the Three Revolutions with paper cups." ”

"What the hell is going on, could it be that you are a murderer who has been absconding for many years? Or agents sent by other countries? Now the east window incident happened, and he had to flee for his life. Huang Mo took the paper cup.

"yes, let's talk about it." Li Jiasi shook his hand, indicating that he would not drink.

"Don't hold it back, Xiao Jiang, I also want to know what's going on, your sudden attack scared me, the head of the department."

"Say it, don't hide it."

"Hurry up."

Seeing the close inquiry of the four colleagues, Jiang Feng spread out his two hands, leaned forward slightly, and smiled a little reluctantly on his handsome but calm face.

"Say, even if you're a fugitive, we're not going to the police."

"Say it."

"That's what you told me to say......"

Jiang Feng took a slight sip of the Moutai in the paper cup.

"I'm going to tell you a story I've never told anyone before." Jiang Feng put down the paper cup, shook his head gently, and glanced at the four lecturers and professors who were doing it.

Seeing Jiang Feng's serious expression, the four of them all sat up straight seriously.

"Before I get into this story, I want to ask a question that makes sense, is full of holes."

Zhang Yanjiang sat on the single sofa, deeply sunk in the cushion: "When I was in school, I kept asking teachers unreasonable questions, and now I am a teacher, and I am also answering students' stupid questions every day." ”

"What if...... I mean, what if...... That is, if...... What would it be like for a man to live from 100,000 years ago to the present...... What kind of person. ”

The rich aroma of wine spread in Jiang Feng's mouth.

"100,000 years ago? He has lived until now, which means that he has never died, has always lived? Director Wang raised the paper cup.

"Hmm!" Jiang Feng nodded.

"I guess he's going to be hunted by modern people, or taken into a lab." Huang Mo took a sip of wine with enjoyment.

"Think about it, when was 100,000 years ago? Climatically speaking, the Pleistocene, that is, the Accolia, human beings began to appear in the Pleistocene, and by 100,000 years ago, our ancestors of modern humans, Homo sapiens, had expanded their territory to a crazy large area. ”

Huang Mo studied paleoanthropology, and among the professors present, he had the most say.

"Homo erectus replaced Homo erectus more than 1.7 million years ago, and was replaced by early Homo sapiens 200,000 years ago, and the rule of early Homo sapiens has been from 200,000 years ago to 50,000 years ago, well, but there are still some early Homo sapiens scattered on the earth 20,000 years ago."

"Do you know what early Homo sapiens were like? They have a well-developed brow crest, a sloping forehead, a wide nose, and a protruding jaw. It's a little better looking than the Homo erectus in Zhoukoudian, but you can still see a very obvious ape-like appearance, which is very different from the appearance of modern humans who evolved from our late ape-man. ”

"That's why I said that if there was an early Homo sapiens from 100,000 years ago who lived to the present, and his appearance was too different from that of modern humans, he would definitely be discovered by scientists and sent to the laboratory. Moreover, the brain capacity of early Homo sapiens was much smaller than that of our modern humans, and even now, not to mention the mentally retarded, it is not much different from a fool, in a word - too conspicuous. ”

Jiang Feng nodded, indicating that he agreed with Huang Mo's words.

"That's true, but what if this early Homo sapiens would evolve?"

"Evolves, you mean?" Li Jiasi asked curiously, she was a little curious about this discussion.

"Literally." Jiang Feng paced back and forth in the room, "In the course of 100,000 years, he has completed the evolution of the individual, the muscle density has become soft, the height has become taller, the cheekbones have become lower, the nose is straight, the hair has decreased, and the most amazing thing is that his brain volume is still increasing." ”

"Interesting." Zhang Yanjiang sat on the chair and laughed, "In other words, the evolution that was completed by early Homo sapiens for tens of thousands of years, countless lives, countless hardships, successions, and the rise and disappearance of countless races, he completed it alone?" ”

"Any living thing has a tendency to overreproduce, that's what Darwin said, do you know why? This is the order of the group to ensure the continuation of the group and to be able to have enough base to produce favorable evolution. And now, an early Homo sapiens 100,000 years ago has reversed the basic theorems of biology, completed genetic mutation, and completed the evolution of the race. ”

"Maybe to this day, that early Homo sapiens is still huddled in the unknown mountains, wrapped in fur and drinking blood." Li Jiasi said.

"No, no, no." Huang Mo drank and shook his head, not knowing whether he was drunk or what, "We have assumed that his brain capacity will evolve and he will have infinite vitality, that is, that early Homo sapiens has been adjusting himself with the changes of the times. With the rapid progress of human society, more and more knowledge is stored, and life customs have been changing, so from the perspective of appearance or habits, this early Homo sapiens who lived for 100,000 years is no different from ordinary people. This early Homo sapiens, an early Homo sapiens who lived for 100,000 years, will have an astonishing amount of knowledge he has accumulated. ”

"It's an interesting idea, I didn't expect you to have a talent for writing science fiction." Director Wang walked to the corner and opened the curtains.

"But how can a person live to be 100,000 years old, the limit life span of human beings is more than 100 years." Li Jiasi took a glass of water in front of the water dispenser.

"Didn't Jiang Feng say that this is a hypothesis, then let's assume that the cells of this early Homo sapiens can be perfectly regenerated, knowing the lighthouse jellyfish? It is possible that it is the only immortal creature on Earth, and at a water temperature of 20°C, the lighthouse jellyfish will reach sexual maturity, after which the jellyfish will return to the polyp state, and the process can be repeated indefinitely. Theoretically, this cycle can be repeated over and over again, that is, the lighthouse jellyfish can live forever without having to face death. ”

"Will this early Homo sapiens return to infancy when it matures?"

"Of course not, we have assumed that the cells of that early Homo sapiens were perfect cells, that DNA would not be lost in each recombination, that would not fall off, that would regenerate perfectly, that organs would not age, that they would never face aging, death, or even disease."

"Sounds like a fantasy." Li Jiasi summed up Huang Mo's hypothesis in a very appropriate word.

"Who's to say it's not a fantasy, but what if it's true." Zhang Yanjiang's son is the leader of a pharmaceutical state-owned enterprise, "Nowadays, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and smallpox, plague, and influenza that seemed impossible to cure in ancient times are just small troubles today, even if it is AIDS that cannot be solved now, maybe one morning when we wake up and run, a certain research laboratory will suddenly announce that it has perfectly solved AIDS." ”

"Professor Zhang, what you say is civil science." Although Huang Mo said a bunch of words just now, he did not agree with his assumptions, "It is impossible to invent the technology of immortality, unless the physical basis of the entire universe is changed, no matter how science and technology develop, there is a limit, our gunpowder technology today is from ancient times, but today, it is impossible to blow up a molecule purely with gunpowder." Well, the Taoist priests who invented gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty would not have thought that gunpowder could be used in warfare, let alone that a thousand years later, in the mid-nineteenth century, people in the same land would be defeated by the firearms of the Western Hu people. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng took a sip of the wine in the paper cup and exhaled slowly.

He swept his head and rubbed his temples with his fingers.

The intoxicating smell of wine emanated from his mouth like vines, entwining a patch of air.

Jiang Feng spoke, and after putting forward his hypothesis, he also participated in the discussion for the first time, and as soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

"That's right, Professor Huang is right, we really didn't think that those inconspicuous medicinal powders could be used in war, at the beginning, we only thought that it was a medicine that could cultivate immortals and live forever, well, although I didn't believe in the so-called elixir."

"But then things often developed beyond people's imagination, these black medicine powders first turned into charlatans from the hands of Fang Shi, and then in the end, applied to war, I was also shocked when I faced those primitive muskets at the beginning, and I thought that there was really a thunder god in the sky."

"But at that time, I still didn't expect that gunpowder would completely change the shape of war, and even change the entire human society."

Jiang Feng poured another glass of wine, his eyes wide open.

Originally, the four university faculty members who had a lively discussion suddenly fell silent, as if someone had cast a silence spell, everyone looked at each other with their mouths slightly open, and Huang Mo had already put the paper cup into his mouth, but he was stupid and didn't take a sip.

"Uh......"

"Ahem...... Haha......" Huang Mo coughed awkwardly a few times and laughed again.

"Jiang Feng, I said it wrong, you shouldn't write a novel, you should be a screenwriter, you see, we were all scared by your words just now." Director Wang said and looked at the people around him.

"No, I'm not making up stories or making jokes, like you just discussed."

Jiang Feng paused: "In the process of evolution, I faded from the appearance of early Homo sapiens, and became the same as you, modern humans, and in the process of 100,000 years, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge, because of the change in appearance, no one recognizes me as an early Homo sapiens, and no one will doubt that I will be an early Homo sapiens - even if this primitive man obtained doctoral certificates from many prestigious universities when he was in his twenties, has profound knowledge of history, and it took ten years to become a full professor of a famous university." ”

When he said this, a mocking smile appeared on Jiang Feng's face.

"After all, the least lacking thing in human society is genius, isn't it?"

As soon as Jiang Feng's words fell, the atmosphere in the room became more strange, and the fragrant fragrance of Moutai failed to break away the somewhat solemn atmosphere in the room.

"Oh, uh...... Hahaha, what just happened? Director Wang clapped his hands, "Jiang Feng said that he has lived for 100,000 years?" Lived from the time of early Homo sapiens to the present? ”

"Hahahaha, we were colleagues with an early Homo sapiens for ten years, and then we haven't found out yet? Hahaha, that's so funny. Huang Mo laughed, "Well, but it doesn't seem to be that funny." ”

Seeing the reaction of the two people, Jiang Feng just smiled, continued to pace back and forth, and said slowly.

"As an immortal person, I naturally don't age, so every time after a while, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the people around me, I will choose to leave, move suddenly, or leave without saying a word, this cycle is often ten years, or less, just like now."

The smile on Jiang Feng's face became even richer.

Needle drops can be heard.

Needle drops can be heard.

It was fitting to describe the current situation in the room by the smell of a falling pin, and the minds of the four instructors all recalled the discussion about Jiang Feng's immortality, and their throats seemed to be choked, without a single sound.

"Very well, you just managed to scare us with your story." Director Wang circled the room with his fingers and motioned to the four faculty members sitting in the room, "Go on." ”

"Then I'll go on."
