Chapter 63: The Seed
The story probably starts from the old days, a person named Zheng Sicheng.
He is a "scientist", but he does not specialize in scientific research, but he has several heavyweight scientific awards.
He was also born in the juvenile class, and his talent is considered to be the best, but he went to play halfway, and his studies were scrapped for a while.
But when he was only in his early thirties, when his peers in the laboratory were still struggling with their doctoral dissertations, he was almost a luxury car beauty, and the hat of an international scientist was on.
Cause? It's not that he really has an exceptional talent, he is just a generalist with a solid foundation, plus a good vision, a wide range of ideas, rather than research and reading, he is good at exchanging the research results of his colleagues for money, and he is extremely sensitive to the changes and needs of society.
But unlike other bastard liars who were kicked out of the scientist by the infamy, his division is relatively fair, and he often goes to unpopular disciplines and Qingshui Yamen to dig for treasure.
Many of the "nerds" who were discovered by him have received wealth and more research funds, and regard them as benefactors and close friends, and some have even become winners of international awards, which really prevents him from becoming "outsiders" to scientists.
"What I'm good at is just observing and choosing. The real contributors and doers are them, the researchers who are always in the laboratory, our loveliest people, and the promoters of society. ”
Such a statement has undoubtedly added a lot of goodwill and popularity, and some people have taken the initiative to promote their scientific research results to him.
As for what he thinks in private...... It didn't really matter at all, after all, he didn't say it.
He is undoubtedly a scumbag, relying on the second author of the paper and subsidizing poor researchers to buy research results, not only won several eye-catching academic awards, but also became a rare rich man among scientists.
The reputation is good and bad, but he doesn't really care, he and his family just have a comfortable life.
Don't say that I deceive the world and steal my name, I have funded the most researchers in the country, so I have a job for the research results that come, I dare to say responsibly, without my vision and funds, there will be no final results...... The researcher is going to be hungry to sell vegetables, and there is a result of wool, not to mention the commercialization later.
Zheng Sicheng wanted to open it very much, he originally thought that this was his life...... However, the big collision came.
This is undoubtedly a tragedy, a terror that has swept the whole world, and in front of the gods and their families, the human society, which has just begun to immigrate to Mars, is simply powerless.
The frontal battlefield was defeated, and several counteroffensive plans were effective in the short term, but after a period of time they were ineffective, and even became a joke...... The most classic failure was the "AI mass production counteroffensive plan" that everyone had high hopes for, and finally turned into the "Iron Man Rebellion" that no one laughed at.
The war has been tilting all the way, the population base has been greatly reduced, whether it is the judgment of the high-level or the deduction of AI, it is judged that the next step may be the end of extermination, various doomsday plans and sowing plans have been implemented, and it has become an acceptable consensus to give priority to retaining the flame of civilization.
However, most of the plans simply failed.
Escape, can you escape to that place?
At this time, human beings still rely on science and technology, and the underwater base in the deep sea and the underground vein base are collapsing themselves at a high speed in the face of various physical degrees of crazy replacement.
The high-strength glass, which can withstand the pressure of the deep sea, suddenly disintegrated, and ninety percent of the world's deep-sea bases instantly turned into hell on earth, and it is still unknown whether that god did it.
Even the freezer cabin technology, which was already mature at that time, had been adjusted and adapted to the change of resistance, and if there was no regular maintenance, the people inside would quickly become a piece of waste meat.
At the time, it wasn't just Artel who was a bastard, he wasn't even the most enthusiastic.
But even the current human beings know that killing Attel does not mean that the technological civilization can be rebuilt, and it can torment you like a high-dimensional god, and they really know too much about the weaknesses of the technological civilization.
The general regularity of technology and the ability to mass produce have become weaknesses at this time.
In the end, humanity had no choice but to turn its gaze to the sky.
One by one, spaceships were sent into space, but an even more desperate scene appeared, human beings found that they were no longer in the universe before, except for a few familiar faces in the solar system, the astronomical signals did not match....... It turned out that it was not the gods who came, but the ones who passed by themselves.
And if you forcibly step out of the solar system of these two moons, you will immediately lose contact with each other........ Originally, human beings thought that this was a normal phenomenon that could be understood, and many migrant ships that barely arrived on Mars stepped out of the solar system without hesitation.
It wasn't until three months later that an unmanned migrant ship appeared on the other side of the universe, empty except for a pile of slime and a bunch of terrible carnivorous monsters, and the entire ship repeatedly roaring "don't go out" and "the same outside" warnings.
It's the same out there? It's full of monsters out there too? Outside is also an arena of the gods? No one has been able to give an answer.
Such speculation was destined to be unanswered, thinking that no more lucky people would be able to return, and the migrant ship would not dare to go out....... The gods also set their sights on the Martian colony, and an alien god of war has arrived.
With the passage of time, more and more migrant ships are still not far from being completely scrapped even if they are repeatedly maintained and adjusted.
"Assuming that the outside is also a different world, can the gods such as Artel change the physical constants of the outside world, if the answer is no, it is true that after going out, there is no way to return. But can we straddle two worlds at the same time, conceptually, always in a state between going out and not going out? ”
The original statement is very complicated, but what is explained to the decision-makers is nothing more than the classic idea of stepping on two boats.
Not to mention the absurdity of this idea, the even more outrageous idea was tested as an executable solution before the genocide.
An immigrant ship, driven to the edge of the universe...... But the question arises, how exactly is the edge of the universe defined, and how is it considered to be a step out of the solar system.
People write down the point where he disappeared, and then the second, and the third...... Thankfully, it seems to be a fixed boundary in space, and it was finally determined that as long as there is no tail crossing the line, it will not be transferred!
Then, using what few resources they had left, they pushed an asteroid belt over, including a larger meteorite, enough to be half of the supergiant artificial meteorite.
Not to mention, this method really works!
That meteorite has become the last hope and home, and countless external equipment and facilities have been added to it, as well as a new scientific research center and a new headquarters.
Zheng Sicheng, who chose the right one all the way, worked in it, doing the coordination work he was good at, and he was a bag boy in a group of top bosses in the industry, and he didn't have a strong sense of existence.
In the face of foreigners who wantonly play with the rules of physics, the scientific and technological civilization established on the basis of the rules of physics can only exchange space for time and survive.
Humans can learn, but they also have to have opportunities, as long as they have the time......
"The AI has deduced that even if there are survivors who escape this catastrophe, there will be a large-scale fault in our civilization, but the probability of returning to the original civilization is not high. Enslavement by a foreign race, cultural mediation, raising into vassals, and slavery are the most likely encounters. ”
This is an unacceptable experience, and researchers have gained a certain understanding of the so-called "observer effect" and "soul energy", and learning to master new rules is inherently a human strength...... But the gods also knew the advantages of technological civilization in this regard, and they even made an internal truce, single-mindedly ending the future of this competitor once and for all.
And so." The "seed" project was launched, and a select group of talents were sent into cryophores, where they would be the seeds to be sown on Earth, which would be launched on a regular basis to sustain the heritage and culture of the race.
Does it work? Zheng Sicheng didn't know, but he applied for the first batch of participation places as soon as possible.
"Now this is not right, there is less and less aid from outside. The food supply is all unpalatable, deadly synthetic food, and the medicine is gone. Those big guys don't look at scientists in the right way, and there have been thirteen disputes this week. Sure enough, is it still that rumor? ”
What rumors? It was the reckless actions of scientists that led to all this.
On the contrary, there are nerds who explain to their faces that the study of the observer effect itself is not harmful, and how could that group of scientists at that time survive until now, and those who are still in shelter now, have nothing to do with the catastrophe!
At that time, Zheng Sicheng knew that the situation was not good.
"God, do you think they're reasonable? They just want to find an unlucky guy to vent their insecurity and anger! The more you explain that the observer effect is harmless, the more you detain this flying cauldron? In their eyes, you are different from those dead scientists? ”
Zheng Sicheng, who is not yet middle-aged, has experienced a lot, he knows that people's hearts are sometimes the kindest, good enough to cut flesh and save people, but sometimes, it is the most ....... There is no way to count on the lower limit.
"They need a culprit, they need to prove that what happened to them is someone else's fault, they need to draw a line, they need to put themselves in the position of innocent victims, they need to vent their insecurity and hatred, they need to vent their insecurity and hatred, they need to find dissidents, they can be identical, they can be colored, they can be international, if necessary, left-handers and baldness can be living sacrifice characteristics......"
When he found that the tendency to exclude and discriminate against scientists in the shelter became more and more obvious, Zheng Sicheng did not hesitate to take off the scientist's white coat and directly changed into a suit, applied for the "seed" plan, and changed his identity from "scientist" to "businessman".
"Hopefully, they have a bottom line, don't even ruin the seed plan, after all, this is the last meaning of survival for our group of people."
Uh, real scum, refined egoist.
What happened after that? Zheng Sicheng guessed correctly, a big riot completely turned the last shelter into a large area of no man's land, the survivors and victors did not live long, the regular supply ships were gone, and in the end, only space bones under the monitor remained.
He also learned all this from the computer recording of the cryopod, and he saw that those people fought each other, and even had the evil deeds of preying on their own kind, but what made him sigh was that until the end, no one touched the cryopod.
After that, he was also surprised to find that he was actually the last batch of seeds, and it was also the largest batch.
Cause? The Seed Seniors really did a ruthless blow, they set a trap, killed all of Artel's immediate family and bloodline, and even almost killed the body of this mortal enemy of humanity, but also caused him to fall into the menopausal hysteria that continues to this day.
It's a pity that under the frantic pursuit of the entire race, the seeds were also exposed.
When the Attel's ship appeared at the edge of the asteroid belt, the AI did not hesitate to activate the backup plan, and all the seeds were scattered.
Most of them did not succeed in reaching their destinations, and Zheng Sicheng was lucky.
The rest, probably needless to say, is that when he just arrived, Zheng Sicheng thought he was in the wrong place.
Mercury? Looking at the unrecognizable world map, Zheng Sicheng didn't know how to evaluate it, the world is changing too fast.
But you won't be four or five times bigger than the whole world, the proportion of ocean masks increased even higher, and the new Age of Discovery will be engraved in history, so change the name of the planet.
Civilization short-layered? Of course there is, and it has become strange because of civilization preservation plans such as the Seed Project, but looking at the world where the total population even exceeds that of the heyday, Zheng Lizhen doesn't know what to say.
Well, Zheng Li, probably because the soul origin was stimulated before, and these bits and pieces finally reappeared in a relatively complete posture.
But it didn't mean much to him, he had already found out...... And since then, he has never said a word of "go home" again.
"Home? I have a home to go back to. ”
Subconsciously said the same words as in the past, but in his mind, there were many figures.
“....... Perhaps, now, I have a home to go back to. ”
When I woke up from my confusion, what I saw was indeed an unfamiliar ceiling.
"I ...... I did it?! ”
The furnishings around are unfamiliar, but they are more life-like and luxurious, and they do not seem to be cold prisons or detention centers, which undoubtedly speaks to the attitude and decisions of the city.
"Heh, I really succeeded, I really succeeded!"
In fact, he knew that when the Wheel of Reverse Time was activated and Sister Yinzi was set back forty-five minutes, his plan had already succeeded.
The appearance of the speaker next can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, which improves his bargaining chips and persuasiveness in the next negotiations.
The rest is simple, there must be a monitor outside of yourself, and others will soon know that someone will come to talk to you.
But unexpectedly, the first visitor made Zheng Li extremely unhappy.
"Director Xie, what are you doing?!"
