On the subject of prolonging life, mankind has made many attempts.

In the distant past, there were attempts to fuse humans with animals, with plants, and even graft consciousness onto cold circuit boards to make synthetic humans with electronic bodies. However, it turned out that these brain-opening experiments were all wrong, and even caused quite serious accidents.

Not everyone can accept that they are transformed into three-headed and six-armed monsters, or that they can store their brains in the culture tank of some medical institution and live in the virtual world as ghosts. Two rather serious civil strife in the history of the Federation almost followed in the footsteps of those prehistoric civilizations that were self-destructive.

Once because of synths, and once because of new humans.

What happened to Krees reminded Jiang Feng of the Federal Science and Ethics Commission's regulations on genetic modification. No individual or organization, without federal authorization, may use genetic engineering or other technical means to cause a federal citizen or a secondary citizen or federal resident whose genetic similarity to human beings reaches 80%, the genetic similarity to less than 80%, or the difference between the existing DNA set and the original DNA set by more than 5%.

Anyone who violates this law faces criminal prosecution. Those who are reformed will also face the choice of giving up full citizenship or undergoing reductive surgery.

However, on this wild planet, there are not so many rules and regulations.

Human life is too short, and in order to live until the day when Chaos awakens, Krees accepts the elf's proposal and transplants his consciousness to the towering tree. As long as new leaves grow the following spring, he will be able to keep an eye on the land.

"It just so happens that I also want to go to the other side of the sea to see, and I will send this sword for you, but I still want to say that this method is a palliative rather than a cure." Weighing the long sword in his hand, Jiang Feng said, "If Chaos comes back again and again, how many two thousand years do you have left to save this world." ”

"At least while I'm alive, I'll be able to watch over my hometown." Krees said slowly.

Jiang Feng shook his head, turned around and walked in the direction outside the village.

Great idea, though not very efficient.

The most effective way to eradicate chaos once and for all is not to launch a campaign against the "heretics" every two thousand years. war, but to destroy the ignorance of the human race itself in this world.

It's like you can't stop your neighbors from spreading the word. Pin, letter. Loan even evil. teach, but you can improve your IQ and not be deceived by bad information. When civilization goes to the materialist side, it will naturally suppress the growth of the idealistic side of the force, even if the abundance of stardust on this planet is very high, it does not mean that there is no room for development on the materialist side.

After leaving Krees Morrowind, Jiang Feng declined Kanrui Donglu's invitation to live in the half-elf village and walked on the way to the entrance of the village. Following him, Emily seemed to have recovered a lot, although she was still pouting.

Along the way, the two did not communicate again.

As she approached the entrance to the village, Emily finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, what did Grandpa Krees say to you?"

"Nothing, just an interesting story with me." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Story?"

Hearing the story, Emily's eyes suddenly changed, she loved to listen to Grandpa Kreese tell stories when she was a child. But soon, she remembered that she was still angry with this guy, so she immediately forced a snort, turned her head, and showed that she didn't care what that "funny story" was.

Looking at Emily's small movements, Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything.

It was approaching dusk, and the trees in the forest were gilded with gold.

The two came to the edge of the village, and under the wall surrounded by vines, Jiang Feng saw that an elk was standing at the entrance of the village, leisurely pouting vine leaves.

Looking at the elk that appeared at the entrance to the village, Emily's eyes widened in surprise.

"Lord Noyce, why are you here?"

"Come and say goodbye to our lovely Emily," the little girl giggled, rubbing the side of Emily's face with her silver-white antlers, and the elk said in a gentle tone, "Don't be naughty outside." ”

"First the talking oak, and now the elven-speaking elk?" Jiang Feng glanced at the elk, "You're the same as Kress?" ”

Dissatisfied with Jiang Feng's slightly frivolous tone, Emily raised two eyebrows.

However, the elk didn't care about this, and meekly bowed slightly, answering Jiang Feng's question, "Yes." We come from the same era, albeit with different capacities. He is an elder in his clan, and I am a prophet. ”

"Oh? Prophet? Jiang Feng asked with interest, "Can you still predict the future?" ”

"The future is not superficial enough to be woven into words," said the elk in a leisurely tone, "and all I can see is a rough outline of the fate of all of us." ”

"Fate?" Jiang Feng's eyebrows raised, and he said with a smile, "Then you come and help me see, what is my fate?" ”

"I saw a pitch black." Elk said.

"So my future is bleak?"

"On the contrary, your future is infinitely bright. Behind the darkness that I can't see, there are endless possibilities, and only a few lucky people can get such an honor. Most people spend their ordinary lives doing nothing, and you should be happy that only a very small number of people are in control of their own destiny. ”

For this ambiguous answer, Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile.

There were two things he never believed.

One is the gods, and the other is the old man who tells fortunes.

Turning to look at Emily, the elk's eyes were full of love.

"Emily."

"Huh?" Emily tilted her head and looked back at the elk's two deep starry eyes.

"Watch the front, watch the foot," the two dark stars reflected the deep starry sky in the eyes of the universe, and in the tone of the elders admonishing the juniors, the elk said slowly, "I saw thorns behind you, and it was not a friendly omen. ”

Jiang Feng glanced at the elk more.

Although he did not take this ambiguous prophecy to heart at all, it was not the prophecy itself that surprised him.

Just as the words came out, he saw a trace of spiritual energy behind it that he had never seen before.

That spiritual energy is huge.

It was even much more massive than all the spiritual energy he possessed combined.

……

Shelter, the alloy door opened, and Jiang Feng walked in with Emily.

Emily sniffed and smelled a nice smell, and her eyes lit up and her saliva was about to water.

"It smells so good! What's delicious? ”

Large, sapphire eyes searched the room, and soon found the source of the scent. But after seeing the face hanging on the bowl of noodles, Emily's little face suddenly collapsed and shrank behind Jiang Feng's back.

In contrast, she was more afraid of this little girl because she would set fire.

"Coming back?" With a mask around her neck and sitting on the sofa with instant noodles in her arms, Yiran, who was sucking big, glanced at the two people at the door, and her eyes stayed on Emily for two more seconds with some surprise, "Why is she there?" ”

These instant noodles are made from the flour that is ground from the nongba in stock. Some time ago, Jiang Feng was researching alien food, and no matter what he did with these nongba, he couldn't stop it from turning into a sticky starch paste, so he simply boiled it, dried it, and broke it into flour and kneaded it into noodles.

Now that the noodles are available, let's just get some instant noodles.

Thinking like this, seeing that there were still many materials, Jiang Feng easily fried some of the noodles into dough cakes and threw them into the sterile refrigerator of the shelter for preservation. Although these fast foods are not as balanced as the nutritional mixture, the liquid food really can't make the stomach belt feel happy.

The key sauces are also well addressed. The newly grown chili peppers and moldy soy products were simply processed to make sauces that tasted no less than those industrial products, which was not a challenge at all for Jiang Feng, who had taken "Alien Gastronomy".

But speaking of which, he hadn't eaten much of it himself since he made it, but the little guy Ira ate it with relish every day.

For small children, it is indeed junk food that is more attractive.

"For some special reasons, she has to live here for the time being," Jiang Feng touched his chin and thought for a moment, then pointed to the room next door to Yiran, "You can live in this room, how to use the living utensils inside, I will teach you later." ”

He had previously felt that the rooms in the shelter were redundant, but now he found himself overthinking. At this rate, it won't be long before the shelter will have to expand its living quarters, which means thousands of square meters of solar panels......

It's a big head.

Emily didn't pay attention to what Jiang Feng said at all, and kept peeking at the bowl of fragrant noodles in Yi Ran's hand.

Yi Ran put down the instant noodles in her hand, stared at Jiang Feng with strange eyes, and lowered her legs coiled on the sofa.

"I said ......"

"What's wrong?"

"You can't be Lo. Licon, right? Ira asked with a wary expression.

"How is that possible...... Where did you learn this word? ”

"I'm afraid you forgot, I'll tell you again, I'm a man."

"Get out!"
