“…… God? One muttered under his breath, clearly dissatisfied with the large, mystical answer. He seemed to be habitually leaning to his left, and then realized that it was not his staff member sitting there, but another leader.

So he said dissatisfiedly: "I think now we all need a technical advisor in the relevant field." ”

"I'm sorry. At least for now, as agreed, what I am going to say next is known only to all of you. Li Zhen said solemnly, "In fact, we haven't entered the topic until now. ”

So what exactly is the subject you are talking about? Discussion about God? The kind of God who knows and omnipotentiates? "We're tired of being pretentious and sensational," said the chief, with a look of obvious impatience, so please be more concise and direct. ”

But Li Zhen smiled tolerantly. The smile made him look more like a teacher—the kind of teacher who looked at some ignorant and fearless student in the classroom. The smile also made the scathing questioner feel insulted, and his eyes showed a palpable look of resentment.

But Li Zhen had already restrained his smile - he restrained his smile, the corners of his mouth suddenly pressed down, and his lips pursed into two lines.

Then people felt that the light in the house had become much dimmer.

The roof was originally the old-fashioned incandescent lamps of the last century, emitting yellowish-white yellow lines. This is because the massive underground system was opened in such a hurry that people have not had time to completely modernize the house. So there were faint shadows on the ground and in the corners—shadows created by the people and some of the instruments in this room.

But now an even bigger shadow came over. That's Li Zhen's shadow. The shadow behind him seemed to come alive and grow rapidly the moment he retracted his smile, climbing from behind him to the podium. Climb the wall behind him from the podium and occupy it. Then the shadow continued to fill the other two walls of this conference room, as if Li Zhen had suddenly grown into a giant at this moment.

This terrifying and eerie sight made the leaders hold their breath. But before anyone could speak, a great sense of fear gripped their hearts.

Because there was a terrible pressure coming out of the body of the young man behind the stage, pressing directly on them with an overwhelming force, making them feel as if at this moment, an incomparably majestic and tall mountain was collapsing in front of them!

This is coercion. It is the uncontrollable natural fear of human beings in the face of some mysterious and powerful ancient creature, in their bones, or in their genes!

So Li Zhen said: "Remember this feeling. ”

It's like a spell. When it dissipated, Li Zhen's shadow quickly shrank back again, and the room suddenly brightened.

But no one spoke—they were still basking in the afterglow of the terrible and shameful fear they had just had.

"Remember that feeling." Li Zhen repeated, "If I can think of a more precise word that can clearly describe that thing." Then I wouldn't use the word 'God' either. And the feeling you just experienced. Not less than a tenth of what I learned from it. ”

"So, what is God, guys?" Li Zhen turned off the projection beside him and asked in a serious tone, "As far as my personal understanding is concerned." God means. Something that has a force that we can't imagine or understand. In my hometown. Our gods have the power to control and change our destiny—they can create the world, they can create humanity, they can move mountains and rivers instead. ”

"And a little farther afield, like your homeland—" he nodded to the former Führer, "your myths and legends have the gods of Olympus. They all have the same amount of force as I mentioned earlier. In the past, we thought that the images of these gods came about because the ancients knew too little about them—they didn't know why thunder and lightning, clouds and rain, tsunamis, and landslides came about, so they were given a more intuitive meaning. But now that we've been through everything we've had in previous years, we know that at least some of the legendary 'gods' are real – they're species. It was a creature far more powerful than humans at the time. ”

"But these creatures once brought us fear and suffering, and we have overcome them now. So I can understand the strong emotion you have for the word I just used, which I think reminds you of something you don't want to recall. ”

Li Zhen nodded to the Führer just now: "But the creature I am mentioning now is far from being comparable to those species. It is to our ancestors 10,000 years ago. ”

"Over the years of war, we've come to understand what the species are capable of. And I bet that some of the countries represented by you have already started research to try to give that ability to ordinary humans. Then you should find that those abilities, including those that I have at present, are difficult to explain by the physical laws and scientific cognition of our world. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this must be the biggest problem that plagues all of you here - because without understanding the laws behind those abilities, you will never be able to build a sound and self-consistent theoretical system."

Li Zhen paused after finishing speaking. And at this time, people finally recovered from the terrible feeling of oppression before. Then they didn't have time to express their dissatisfaction with what Li Zhen had done before, and they were once again firmly attracted by what he said.

Because the issue mentioned by Li Zhen is indeed the one they are most concerned about. For now, the importance of this matter is such that they can even ignore the theme of this meeting for the time being, and instead set their eyes on Li Zhen's face.

It is true that there are a significant number of countries that are capable of doing this kind of research – making ordinary people capable. Because this is not just a military problem, it has also become a serious social problem. A few years ago, this world was peaceful and beautiful, and the number of capable people was quite rare. Humans are actually fragile relative to capable people as they are perceived in their minds – billions of such fragile humans constitute the backbone of human civilization.

But suddenly one day people know that there is actually another kind of people in the road - they can jump on a building more than ten meters high, they can not be afraid of the burning of the flames, they can turn themselves into a gust of wind or a puddle of water......

And there are more and more such people because of the arrival of the "peak".

When the number of capable people is an absolute minority, people will see them as outliers and will instinctively reject and fear them. However, when the number of capable people reaches a critical point, the fear of the past turns into envy. Governments had the opportunity to wipe out this "outlier" – albeit at a high cost. However, the catastrophe caused by the species has left them no longer able to care about all this, and they even need to rely on the strength of those "aliens".

As a result, the "outliers" can now walk calmly in the sun, no longer subject to the harsh rules of the past. This has led to serious social upheaval - while some people who are able to do so only want a stable and happy life, more people who have tasted the sweetness of "strength" for the first time want more.

As a result, in some remote and underdeveloped areas, the prestige of local governments has been minimized, and armed groups have been established by capable people, large and small.

In this case, if there is no way to solve "them", then the best way to do it is to become "them".

The result was the "evolutionist trend" – the idea that ordinary people demanded that their governments make efforts to turn all people into "evolutionaries", which they believed meant that humanity had taken a big step forward in biology, an act comparable to that of the first ape that learned to use fire.

But it's hard to know whether this kind of thing is good or bad – at least for decades now. Because once all people have the ability, then the prospects of human civilization will become unpredictable. The development of technology has not kept pace with the "evolution" of human beings, and this situation is like a group of prisoners who could be effectively deterred with a single baton, and suddenly each armed with an AK47, the power behind the baton will become precarious.

Thus, as in the case of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty before it, most countries have reached an agreement not to encourage, promote, or put this evolutionary trend into practice.

But where would anyone be really stupid enough to "never do such research"?

You must know that a group of ordinary soldiers with guns and a group of supermen with guns are completely two different concepts!

So the problem that Li Zhen said arose. Scientists are confronted with a law that they are completely ignorant of – if that can also be called a "law".

But as humans also know, there seems to be an "evolutionary" in southern Luzon who is conducting such research with amazing results. In fact, some of the advanced weapons they have used over the past few years have been based on that "law" of operation.

Li Zhen is also from Southern Luzon.

And...... The implication seemed to be that he knew what he was saying, and wanted to sell what he knew.

"He got them." Dai Bingcheng said to the imperial prime minister next to him. But the Prime Minister didn't seem to react to the remark, he just owed himself a debt and tried to sit more comfortably. The man in power, who had just turned sixty, now looked old and haggard, and he hadn't looked up much since the meeting began—more often than not, staring at the ground, as if a great and terrible secret was buried there.

So Dai Bingcheng shook his head and went to see Li Zhen again.

The young man did much better than he had imagined, and he was even slightly surprised. He had thrown the bait in half an hour, and the vast majority of the room seemed to be about to take the bait.

But there was silence in the room, and no one was going to speak first.

Li Zhen broke the deadlock. He smiled and said, "Yes." As you think, I am here today to tell you one thing and one condition. ”

"As you might have guessed, Luzon has mastered some sort of core technique. I can offer this technique to you, but I need you to do something for me. (To be continued......)
