Chapter 59 Thoughts
"When the time comes, everyone will kill each other for food, high-level creatures, feed on low-level creatures, and the era of cannibalism won't be long before ...
"That's not right!"
Just when everyone was scared by this message, a voice suddenly came out.
"There's a trap in your words," Professor Kim said suddenly.
"The average amount of biological energy consumed by human beings has actually been increasing, but it has not really become extinct, those cultivators use so much biological energy every day, but these energies are not really gone, they are really gone, and the consumed biological energy is still left on the earth, but it is just a different form of existence..."
"Yes, it's just a different form, but..."Yuan Lao asked rhetorically, "Have you considered the problem of conversion rate?" Can human beings get their own energy directly from the air, water or sunlight? It is not up to plants to transform first, the higher the level of organisms, the lower the conversion rate, for example, if a second-order evolutionary eats a vegetarian diet, how much do they need to eat to be full? What about the third order? β
"The way for them to quickly replenish their physical strength is to eat meat, eat the meat of high-level creatures, so that they can quickly replenish their physical strength, and the meat of high-level creatures is not for nothing? From plants to low-level organisms to high-level organisms, the conversion rate is further reduced, and the biological energy required is further increased..."
"Fourth-order creatures, no, fourth-order humans, can extract energy from the void and maintain their own operations...," Professor Jin said.
"How many fourth-order humans are there? It is possible to maintain daily consumption, but what about non-daily consumption? What about when it comes to fighting? What about when you cultivate? What about the advanced time? Yuan Lao asked rhetorically, and Professor Jin was speechless and was refuted.
"In other words, in general, energy is cyclic and will not disappear in vain, but in the process of energy conversion, because of the efficiency problem, it will cause a lot of damage, is that right?" Another member of the negotiating team asked.
"Yes."
"What about improving energy conversion efficiency? Is there a way? β
Yuan Lao stretched out his hand and said, "I'm still trying to figure out a way, and I'm still experimenting recently, so I can only say that I'm just getting a first glimpse of the door." β
"What test?"
"Find a plant that is domineering, has a high conversion rate, and is fast!"
"Did you find it?"
Yuan Lao shook his head and said: "The plants on the earth, they grow fast, I have tried them, they are still far away, if they are cultivated from generation to generation, it is not impossible, but it takes too long, we humans may not be able to wait that long..."
"That's an alien plant?" Professor Kim asked directly.
Yuan Lao nodded: "Plants of different races, I have cultivated some here, compared to the plants inherent in our earth, they are much stronger, but they are still not enough, they are still far behind, several orders of magnitude worse..."
Now everyone is silent, the previous similar report, not that no one has mentioned it, and it is not that no one has paid attention to it, because the number of human beings is very small now, the amount of land is large, and the proportion of evolutionaries is not high, so it can be maintained for the time being, at least all the people in the safe zone, no one starved to death.
But now that the whole people want to cultivate martial arts, then the consumption will increase a lot all of a sudden, and the output and quality of human food will definitely not be enough all of a sudden, so what will happen at that time? Really want to eat people? High-level people, eat up all the low-level people?
"Then you really can't think of anything about it?" Someone asked with a headache.
Yuan Lao said: "No, at least it is difficult to have it in a short period of time, and it seems that you are the big names in the industry, why are you asking me!" β
For a while, everyone stopped talking, except for Lin Sen, who was unexpected, they were all extremely smart people, but they were all silent at this time, this is almost an unsolvable problem, if there is enough time, then it is naturally no problem to cultivate plants with high yield, high energy and high conversion rate from generation to generation, but now do humans have time? Nope! The alien has come to the door!
So let's talk about cultivating martial arts for the whole people first? But who will be able to take on this responsibility when the time comes? After the phenomenon of cannibalism appears, what is the situation on the earth? The second-order eats the first-order, and the third-order eats the first-order and the second-order? Then you don't need to fight with other races, you can eat it yourself!
"The otherworld is blended with our earth, and the energy of the otherworld is much higher than our earth, and it is slowly increasing the total amount of energy of our earth..."
This thing is true, but no one has spoken, because this is at most a palliative, and the focus is still on the issue of conversion rate, do you let a third-order evolutionary sit there and eat and excrete without doing anything all day? The energy that a third-order evolutionary needs every day, if it is supplemented by a vegetarian diet, I am afraid that there is really nothing to do except eat and sleep...
"Synthetic high-energy food... With organic matterβ" A think tank said hesitantly, but before he finished speaking, he knew that I denied it: "No, there are no conditions and technologies yet, and..."
Subsequently, several ideas were proposed, but none of them received a response from everyone, because either the current technology could not be reached, or it was simply a conjecture.
Lin Sen was an observer on the sidelines, and he couldn't interject, because he was too far behind in terms of knowledge or something else, and it was only at this time that he spoke: "I... I have an idea, I don't know if it can be done. β
Most of them didn't respond, only Professor Jin and two or three others looked at him, Yuan Lao looked at him and said, "Tell me, I remember that you sometimes have some good ideas." Lin Sen has been experimenting with him for two or three months, and he has made many suggestions in between.
"Evolvers need to consume a lot of energy, and food alone can't replenish it, and here's the contradiction, right? If the Evolver could draw energy from the Void on their own, then the problem would be solved. Lin Sen said.
"Can it be done?" Now many people looked at him.
"It's difficult, at the moment there is only the fourth order that can, but... If we can create a more reasonable practice, it may not be impossible to do it, allowing non-fourth-order people to obtain energy on their own. β
"How sure are you? How long does it take? Professor Kim asked.
"I'm not sure, I'm just guessing, the difference between the first order and ordinary people is not big, it's just a little stronger, the second order, the strength of the flesh has reached the limit, and the excess energy in the body overflows from the flesh and blood, forming an internal force, in the final analysis, the difference in essence is not big, but the third order..."
"Under the operation of the exercises created by Yang Fei, people's consciousness will be exercised, and the divine consciousness will gradually be formed, and the divine consciousness can be expanded outside the body, so since it can be expanded to the outside of the body, it is possible to obtain energy from the outside of the body."
Professor Jin thought for a moment and asked, "You are now a third-order top, can you do it?" β
"I haven't tried it, I don't know, but I think it's better for you to ask Yang Fei about this issue." Lin Sen said.
"After all, the exercises were created by him, so it must be that he is most familiar with, and I, as a latecomer, have taken the path that others have walked, so it is difficult to say that there is any experience or anything like that."
Professor Jin nodded, took out the phone and dialed Yang Fei's number.
"Hey! Who is it! Lao Tzu is busy! Hung up! β
