Xu Shu finished reading the sci-fi short story, closed the document, smiled, and leaned back in his chair.

This is a little story that was created five or six years ago.

At the beginning of the story, some people can accept the legend of cultivating immortality, but they reject the use of scientific and technological means to transform the human body, perhaps, because one is ethereal and romantic, and the other is intuitive and cold.

Or, it involves the self-existent defense mechanisms that are naturally carried by human genes.

The gene itself does not want to be changed by external forces, otherwise, it is no longer itself.

Manifested in the humanistic level of science and technology, it has become the concept of scientific ethics.

But to what extent can human beings use scientific and technological means?

Some techniques are not unmastered, but cannot be applied.

……

Xu Shucha remembered his classmate again.

He looked at the ceiling, was stunned for about two minutes, stood up, and went to find Xing Zong Li Haotu.

A crazy and bold idea sprung up in his mind.

Li Haotu and the deputy star general Cheng Xutu and the chief of the strategy department Zhang Luo gathered together and were discussing things.

"Lao Xu." Li Haotu is as gentle as ever, without any arrogance.

Xu Shucha sat down and said straight to the point: "Do you still remember Fu Evenqi?" ”

"Even?" Li Haotu was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Luoji said: "Lao Xu, that classmate of yours? ”

"Yes." Xu Shucha nodded: "I want to find him." ”

"Why do you suddenly want to find him at this time?" Li Haotu frowned slightly: "It's difficult." ”

Xu Shucha said: "At that time, nanohuman science and technology was stopped, and it was only allowed to be used in medical minimally invasive surgery, and since then it has stagnated, and Fu Evenqi resigned from his job at the scientific research institute and opened a technology company on his own. After the human retreat to Guanwai three years ago, there has been no news of him. ”

"Well, I have an impression of that." Zhang Luoji nodded.

"I want to find him." Xu Shucha repeated it again. And improved the sound:

"It's not enough to have 100,000 warriors quenching their bodies, humanity has to evolve.

"I have a bold idea to use the metal of germanium-based life to transform human warriors and transform a group of warriors with enhanced combat power."

Li Haotu continued to be stunned: "Old Xu, I have never seen you ...... like this"

Xu Shucha: "In the past, I was very strict, right? ”

"yes."

"But now when life and death are at stake, it's time to go crazy again."

Zhang Luoji said softly: "The warrior who transforms the metal body is very bold and creative, but this is against ethics. ”

"We no longer carry the burden of scientific research ethics, we can no longer be framed by our own rules and regulations, and human beings can no longer limit themselves!"

"But who wants to be an experiment? This may need volunteers~, will anyone support it? ”

Xu Shucha said firmly: "If I can find Fu Evenqi, I can be the first volunteer experimenter, and I am willing to use scientific and technological means to transform myself into a germanium-based life form!" ”

"Lao Xu, you...... Suddenly I don't seem to know you. ”

Xu Shucha smiled, stood up against his bird's nest hairstyle, and walked to the window.

On the windowsill of Li Haotu's office, there are several pots of drought-tolerant plants, as well as a small fish tank with a few cold-water fish.

These fish survived from the laboratories of the Ministry of Science.

Xu Shucha picked up the fish tank with both hands, turned around and said:

"Look at these fish, they have lived in a tank since they were born, and they can't leave this little tank where they live.

"Without the water, they will die very quickly.

"This is their whole world, a limited world.

"They can see the outside world, but they can't see too far.

"We humans don't know how they understand the world they live in, but on a cosmic level, humans are not much different from these fish.

"Humans can't leave the planet under their feet, just like a fish is confined to water.

"We can't leave the planet we live on our own, we can't fly to other planets on our own, even if we are close together, even if we are in a small star system.

"If a fish wants to get from this tank to a larger water system, from the tank to the lake to the sea, they have to learn to crawl on land, they have to evolve, they have to evolve their fins into legs, and their gills into lungs.

"They have to transform and evolve themselves in order to break free from their limitations and move towards the wider world.

"Any living organism, how strong the ability to survive and adapt, how wide the world is.

"In the past, human beings, we, before the advent of the era of crisis, most people did not have much curiosity about the vast cosmic sea of stars, and just wanted to thrive and work in a small world on our planet.

"But now, human beings have fallen into an unprecedented existential crisis, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no place to die and die, if you don't evolve at this time, and don't choose to evolve actively, there is really only one way to die!

"To be honest, our level of science and technology has actually begun to enter the road of transformation as early as a few decades ago, but it is precisely because of the ethics of science and technology that those genius ideas and those ideas that can see the future choose to bury themselves.

"Human beings started from an agrarian civilization, like to be content with the status quo, afraid of change, full of worries about all unknown things, and unknown futures, many people are always more worried than optimistic when they think about the future.

"This is understandable, it is also a natural self-preservation mechanism, the nesting mentality may be engraved in our genes, this natural sense of stability allows human beings to survive on this planet for a long time.

"But now it's different, humans have to evolve and reinvent themselves!

"Similar to the realm mentioned by the grandmaster of the inner world, our bodies must evolve to the point where we can fly freely to the universe without the help of any external mechanical conditions.

"We don't even need to breathe oxygen, our bodies need to be able to leave everything behind and be able to withstand extreme heat and extreme cold.

"Just like the germanium-based race, they don't need mechanical assistance to survive, because they are inherently machine-like lifeforms!

"Although the cultivation of quenching the body is also going in this direction, the speed is still not fast enough.

"I want to develop another evolutionary path at the same time.

"The two do not conflict, they can even complement each other.

"If we talk about the ethics of science and technology...... Let's set aside those ethical constraints.

"Morality and ethics can maintain social stability in a normal and peaceful society.

But in special cases, too rigid and pedantic morality can trap us in a cage of thinking and thinking.

"If we do everything with the ethics of science and technology in mind, and even give up our lives for the sake of ethics, then there will be no future for mankind.

"In certain periods of history, in certain stages of civilization, it is necessary to promote ethics.

"But now, we cannot afford to ignore the fate and survival of humanity as a whole.

"Our vision can no longer be limited to the land and planets under our feet, we should look at the vastness of the universe.

"If there is always one person in this world who wants to be the first to break those cages of consciousness, then I would like to be a pioneer.

"I want to lead the evolution of human beings who are willing to evolve and seek more possibilities for survival.

"I want humanity to survive under any conditions!"

Xu Shucha finished these words in one breath as if he were giving a speech.

Li Haotu, Cheng Xutu, and Zhang Luoji sat down, all listening silently and thinking deeply at the same time.
