Chapter 47: The Origin of the Virus

"Almost all prophecies in the world mention that there will be a savior saint in our time, calling him the savior or the Messiah of the last days, and the savior will come from the East, so it is very likely that the Messiah prophesied by the West is the same savior saint as Maitreya prophesied by Buddhism and Ziwei sage prophesied by Taoism."

Huang Shan's speech was getting faster and faster, and his tone was subdued and impassioned, full of demagogic power.

He shook his fist vigorously, looking like a magic stick: "All this is not a coincidence, all this will be fulfilled." And you are the only savior. ”

The savior was shocked by the sudden change of identity, and looked at the god stick in front of him dumbfounded: "But ......"

"Nothing."

"It's not easy to be a savior. Jesus was crucified, and Neo from The Matrix was dragged away like a dead dog by a robot and left in the rubble......"

"You have the future of humanity on your shoulders, and sacrifice may be inevitable, but you have to believe that you have the power to change it all."

Ye Feng said worriedly: "Third brother, I can't adapt to your painting style today, I always feel like you're fooling people to be cannon fodder." In fact, the craftsman civilization is so good, do you ask them to ask for some black technology to solve the virus once and for all. ”

Huang Shan muttered, "In fact, they can't deal with the doomsday virus.

The conclusions of our current research on virus samples are only superficial, and the real situation is much more complicated.

First of all, it is worth speculating about the origin of the virus.

Conspiracy theories are prevalent among survivors. The content is much the same, an evil government or evil organization hires a group of evil scientists to secretly develop biological and chemical weapons that kill people in some dark corner. As a result, the virus accidentally leaked, which eventually led to a global catastrophe.

This view is logically self-consistent, and satisfies the public's demand for emotional catharsis, so it has a large market and basically occupies a dominant position.

However, twenty years have passed, and the culprit has never surfaced, and the truth remains in doubt.

You must know all of this, so I won't expand on it, but the focus is on the point of view of craftsman civilization. Rebelyn's exact words were: 'Viruses are not man-made, they are created by the world.' ’”

Ye Feng said in disappointment: "It's just a product of natural evolution? The truth is as simple as that? ”

In this regard, he is also not exempt from vulgarity. If there is a mastermind, then once the culprit is caught, all the problems are solved.

Huang Shan shook his head: "It's not that simple. Have you ever heard the saying that the world has a will?

It's an evolution of totems. What is intriguing is that in the information-closed ancient times, several ancient civilizations isolated from each other gave birth to similar ideas, such as the Alaya consciousness of Buddhism, the Gaia consciousness derived from ancient Greek mythology, and so on.

After all, the thinking of the ancients was limited to the sky and the earth that could be touched by the field of vision.

Artisan civilizations have similar inferences and extend their scope to the entire universe, believing that the universe is alive.

If the universe is compared to the human body, then the planet is the human organ, and the intelligent beings are the microorganisms that parasitize on a certain organ.

In the early stages of evolution, intelligent beings settled on a certain planet, and the change or damage to the environment was limited. However, when their civilization reaches a certain stage of evolution and begins to move towards the stars, it is like the bacteria in the human body begin to spread to other organs. The self-healing mechanism is triggered, and the immune system works to release a large number of white blood cells to engulf bacteria.

The world has purged humanity, and Judgment Day has arrived. From the perspective of humanity, the apocalyptic crisis has erupted. For the world itself, however, it is a process of returning to health through self-healing.

White blood cells are doomsday viruses, and that's where viruses originate.

If we look back at the major events that took place before and after, we will find that the time when the Voyager 1 probe flew out of the solar system coincided with the time of the first case of viral infection.

This may not be just a coincidence. Personally, I'm more inclined to support the argument, and it was this landmark event that triggered the Resident Evil.

The world of artisan civilization has also erupted in Resident Evil. The viruses of the two worlds may be different in morphology, but they are essentially the same thing.

Rebelyn judged that the destruction of the universe might have something to do with it, but unfortunately there wasn't enough information, so she could only conjecture. ”

Ye Feng questioned: "At most, it's just the destruction of civilization, and it seems to be an exaggeration to say that the universe is destroyed." ”

Huang Shan replied in the affirmative: "The universe has indeed been destroyed.

As for the reason, as I said earlier, it is still a conjecture. There are some proven viral properties that can be used as a basis for reasoning.

First of all, the doomsday virus is conscious and has the property of consciousness sharing. All viruses within the same host share a single consciousness, called 'karma'.

'Karma' can be seen as aggregate consciousness, or collective will.

Second, there is some form of connection between 'karma'. For example, the virus in a dead body can sense that an infected person in the incubation period already has the virus in the body, and will not drive the zombie to be infected again. So, normally, zombies don't attack zombies.

Through observation, engineers have found that 'karma' can even perceive the same kind hundreds of thousands of kilometers away or even beyond.

When there are no more potential hosts in an area, zombies begin to fight each other, with the strong devouring the weak and eliminating divisions. 'Karma' merged with each other, and began to evolve wisdom, giving birth to dark creatures.

Dark creatures that have evolved to a higher level have inherited the characteristics of 'karma' and share consciousness. This explains the dark legion's terrifying synergy in war.

Based on the above characteristics, Libelyn came to the final inference. When the Artisan civilization fell, all potential hosts in the entire star field were infected. As a result, dark creatures began to devour and evolve on a large scale, eventually coalescing into the only 'karma'. The most likely event is this only consciousness that destroys the universe. ”

Ye Feng was stunned: "The consciousness body is powerful enough to destroy the universe, this is ......"

"I was curious about the process of destruction, but unfortunately Rebelyn was very rigorous, or rather rigid, and refused to give unfounded conjectures, no matter how much I asked.

I had to work on it myself.

What is the relationship between 'karma' and the will of the world?

If the two are independent, then it is too powerful. Will the cleaning mechanism be triggered again?

It's powerful, it's even more powerful than we realize. But it's too small compared to the universe as a whole. The confrontation between the two cannot even be called a battle, the result is obvious.

Conversely, if the two are unified, it is part of the will of the world, or even the will of the world itself. Then, we can try to explain the process of destruction of the universe with quantum theory.

We know that quantum states also exist in the macroscopic world, and the superposition effect of quantum states is related to scale.

A few years ago, a research team at Stanford University in the United States succeeded in superimposing two states of atomic clouds at a distance of half a meter, which extended the maximum scale record of the superposition effect of quantum states from 1 centimeter to 54 centimeters.

So, I came up with a hypothesis. Assuming that the universe where the artisan civilization is located, the quantum state superposition effect is generally true on a larger macroscopic scale, then the existence of this universe is related to the macroscopic quantum state collapse after the observer intervenes.

I asked Rebelyn to verify this hypothesis. However, Runetech's theoretical system is completely different from ours, and she can't answer this question.

So, let's just let it hold. We then deduce that when the only consciousness and the world consciousness merge, the universe completely loses its observer and returns to the macroscopic quantum state.

Everything becomes uncertain, the mass of the universe may be infinite, it may be infinitesimal or infinitesimal small, and it is not even possible to determine how many dimensions it has. In a sense, the universe went out. ”

Ye Feng asked suspiciously, "Aren't there still aliens?" ”

"That's a good question, maybe the alien civilization was also destroyed by Resident Evil, and the Artisan civilization happened to be the last one. It is also possible that the artisan civilization would have been the only one.

For extraterrestrial civilizations, I asked Rebelyn. The universe was too big for her to give a definite answer, only to tell me that there were indeed no other civilizations found in the known star fields they had explored.

So, at least so far, this deduction holds. What is left beyond the impossible, no matter how incredible, is the truth. ”

"I still have a question, what was the universe like before the birth of intelligent beings?"

Huang Shan laughed and said, "Who knows, quantum states are inherently uncertain, you can imagine whatever you want." ”

He is in a good mood, a secret has been held in his stomach for more than ten years, and it is a torment for anyone. I poured it out at once today, and suddenly the whole person was much more relaxed.

Although what he said had a nose and eyes, Ye Feng still felt a little ridiculous, but fortunately, the matter was really far away, and it didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out, he was more concerned about another question: "Third brother, the person you see is what I am now?" ”

"Isn't it, if you want you to be the way you are, I didn't find out until today? It's just that it's been a little long time, and the impression is a little blurry, so it makes you shave. ”

"But I want to change my body back."

"Don't think about it, it's already buried."

"What, what ......"

"Oh, I accidentally said it."

Huang Shan's eyes flashed with cunning, how could he say the slightest apology.

"That's the case, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I kept it from you. Now that you are tall and mighty, sunny and handsome, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Ye Feng was about to cry: "I still can't accept it." ”

"Actually, it's been buried for years. You just happened to have amnesia, so we'll keep it a secret.

At that time, cloning technology was still in the testing stage and had not yet been officially put into use. Your mission is to explore an unknown world, and from the image of a single soldier, the landing point is a battlefield. There are a total of four people on both sides of the war, and their combat power is very terrifying, it is like watching a war of gods.

This level of world is not something we can meddle in. You were only badly wounded by the aftermath of the battle far away.

Your injuries are too severe for the medical department to do anything about it. In the end, Han Kun proposed that a dead horse be a live horse doctor, and try to convert your consciousness body into an experimental clone.

After all, your luck is not the worst, you are in the list of the first clones. As a result, it turned out to be. ”

Ye Feng cried and said, "In other words, I have been a clone all these years?" ”

"Don't mind that, we're not racist here."

Seeing that Ye Feng was still muttering, Huang Shan raised his eyebrows: "You kid, don't be so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed." Since you changed the clone, you haven't even had a cold in the past few years, and others can't change it if they want to. If it weren't for the long-term occupation of clones, there would be rejection, and how many people would line up to beg for a change. ”

"Third brother, I'm a savior, save some face."

"The Lord is also my soldier. It's strange to say, last time, Shen Hou's stunned boy was delayed in the Qin State for more than half a year, and after coming back, he was in a coma in bed for several months. Why didn't you react at all? ”

"I'm more determined."

"Fuck off!"
