Chapter 34: Fate (2)
"Because of superfluous life and contempt for the laws of life, we have declared war on the entire world of living beings, we have fought against the ancient and technologically advanced mechanical civilization, we have fought against the mysterious and magical civilization of cultivation, and we have even fought against inorganic life.
……
Because we are strong enough, we have won the vast majority of all past wars. We have destroyed countless civilizations, destroyed countless planets, and even caused three massive cosmic explosions...... Gradually, we felt that even fighting with aliens could not satisfy the desire to kill, so we ...... We fought again ourselves. ”
Daddy Oak looked at the image of the interstellar war and breathed heavily, "Finally, we have found an evenly matched opponent, and this is ourselves. It's been a long battle...... It was so long that we forgot the time, and we didn't know the winner until the war stopped, but it was pointless, because we were almost dead. ”
"Three epochs ago, our people were scattered across all dimensions, and after three epochs, we are left with less than two thousand, and we are scarred."
Oak Daddy waved his tentacles, and the picture changed again, in the reckless universe, a black strange battleship floated in a vacuum, like an interstellar prodigal son. Against the backdrop of huge planets and even larger stars, the spaceship is particularly lonely.
"It took us three cosmic epochs to reduce our race to the point of no sustainability, and what makes us even more desperate is that we don't even know how to multiply because of the long eternal life!" Oak Daddy lamented.
Wang Qiang's eyes were stunned, and then he laughed: "Yes, if no one kills you, you will never die, you can travel the world, you can travel through the future, but you have no reproductive ability, hahahaha, that is one less to die!" ”
Daddy Oak sighed, "Although your tone is very bad, you are not at all right, we have indeed come to the point of extinction. ”
The spaceship in the picture is slowly floating in the universe, and the lonely boat in the vast starry world finally stopped drifting in front of a strange world.
This is an expanded star. The stars are enormous, dark and dull, with no planetary belts or other stars, just dead air lingering around them.
"The star of death, eventually, will swell, it will swallow up the stars that once shined, occupy most of the galaxy, and turn everything into nothingness.
In search of a cure for the race not to be exterminated, we traced the source along the time to find the origin of our race, and we traveled through countless galaxies and countless parallel spaces before finally arriving here. Daddy Oak said, looking at the black planet.
"Where is this?" Wang Qiang asked.
Daddy Oak looked at the planet and replied word by word, "This is where we were born." ”
"The Land of Birth!" Wang Qiang muttered to himself, recalling the first time he saw the terrible scene of the Big Bang, and really didn't believe that this was the remnant of the Big Bang.
"There must be an antidote within five steps of a poisonous snake, the symbiotic relationship between natural enemies is incomprehensible, we expect a miracle, however, here we have suffered a heavy blow again." Daddy Oak said.
Wang Qiang looked at the picture suspiciously, waiting for Daddy Oak's narration.
"We are so proud that we have wishful thinking that the Creator has a special favor for our race. But what we didn't realize was that the poison was all around us. In the Land of Birth, we encounter a strange species of parasitic life, which we still don't know what they are, but who suffer from it in a rash contact. ”
Daddy Oak waved his tentacles, and a pitch-black mass appeared in the frame. The mass of the object was like a lump of ink, slowly wriggling, and it looked very disgusting.
"Our race has never had the concept of birth, old age, sickness and death, but when we encounter this kind of parasitic lifeform, the nightmare comes! They quickly invade our bodies and quickly weaken us, depriving us of our great abilities and rapidly debilitating our lives. ”
Speaking of this, Daddy Oak's voice was no longer calm, and it became very frightened, and Wang Qiang could even feel its fear.
"Most of the remaining people have been infected with this strange and terrifying virus, and there is a feeling of fear in their minds. As time passed, more and more of the people began to develop lesions, and this affected the self-creatures captured in the parallel world.
In order to survive better, many people choose to fight the virus in a dormant way. Deep dormancy can make the virus in the body also appear in a state of suspended animation, which can significantly reduce the speed of disease in the body.
As a result, our people have been struggling on the brink of illness for tens of thousands of years.
Struggle, survive, until we get here......"
As he spoke, Daddy Oak waved his tentacles again, and the image in the air transformed into a beautiful blue planet, the blue ocean enveloped the world, and a powerful and rich vitality erupted from the planet.
There is no need to say superfluous, Wang Qiang also recognizes that this is the planet he lives on, the earth!
"So, you came to our planet?" Wang Qiang said.
Daddy Oak nodded: "That's right, we came here more than 10,000 years ago. ”
Daddy Oak looked at the projection of the Earth and continued, "This is a beautiful planet, full of life and vitality. We have traveled through many galaxies in the universe, but we have rarely seen such a beautiful planet. We also observe the known parallel worlds from dimensional space, and pay attention to this planet from different directions. Eventually, we decided to settle down, believing that the breath of life might give us a solution to our predicament. ”
Wang Qiang asked, "What way?" ”
"In the midst of the predicament, the only remaining of our clan began to think about issues that we had never thought about before, such as the true meaning of life, such as the choice of fate, such as the concept of the world, and of course, the question of inheritance.
There is a polymath among us who believes that the immortality of our race is actually an original sin. It believes that the energy of the universe is still equal after all, and that if we get too much moisture, the more other creatures in the universe will lose. I don't know if it's right, but I think there's some truth to that.
It's time for us to find a way to change the world. In other words, we hope to prove to other intelligent beings in the future that we have existed. With this in mind, we began to transform in different parallel worlds on this planet. Since 10,000 years ago, we have been working to transform the world. ”
Wang Qiang understood, and then said: "It is because of your transformation that we humans are born? Right? ”
Daddy Oak nodded and shook his head, "You're partly right, but not all of them. In fact, we have tried to persuade and transform hundreds of different intelligent beings in hundreds of parallel worlds of different dimensions, but the probability of failure is very high...... In the end, only four species in four parallel worlds achieved initial success, successfully gaining the power to represent evolution, and there is no doubt that you humans, are one of them. ”
Wang Qiang was shocked in his heart, according to Daddy Oak's meaning, there are still three earths like ours! This kind of thing is unimaginable if you grow a head!
"There are a total of four original creatures of the earth that have evolved to the point of having the ability to explore extraterrestrials, and you humans are just one of them, and they are also the least favored race, after all, three thousand years ago, the race with the fastest development in the parallel world had begun to have the ability to explore the plane, and three thousand years ago, you had just come from the era of Ru Mao drinking blood slash and burn."
Daddy Oak changed the picture in front of him, and popped up a picture of a primitive battlefield, in the picture, in a familiar land, two extremely strange-looking races are fighting wildly!
It is difficult for Wang Qiang to describe the appearance of the two races, but the most striking feeling is that the two races are completely different: one of them has a pair of bone wings that can support movement, while the other has three heads and six arms.
"During the time that you were inspired by us to begin your own evolution, we witnessed it as spectators and recorders. It took you humans 1,200 years to descend from trees to the ground, 500 years to master fire, and 2,000 years to learn how to make weapons and pass on the arts...... Your great awe and careful greed for the unknown and fears have allowed you to start out very slowly, but you have also been the longest.
By the time you learned to use bronze and began to experiment with iron, the dimensional wars in parallel worlds had begun to come to an end.
As you can see, the three-headed, six-armed race that called itself Shura slaughtered the other two races in the conquest of the plane...... They have three heads, can think three different ways at once, and have much better hands-on skills than you. They are smart, they are quick learners, and they are very ambitious, and you should be thankful that they did not find you in time to explore the plane. ”
"Didn't find us in time? Do you mean they're going to come and fight us? Wang Qiang was a little nervous, the three-headed and six-armed guy only knew one Nezha.
"It's not bad for them to come now, the zombies outside are turned upside down, those guys are bloodthirsty and brainless, maybe they will have feelings when they meet." Wang Qiang laughed to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
What are you kidding, it's a zombie and an alien, and now even the fucking alien creatures have come out, do you want humans to live?
Unexpectedly, Daddy Oak said lightly: "They have no chance to come to your world again. ”
"Why" Wang Qiang was stunned.
Daddy Oak said: "After winning the parallel war, an accident happened. ”
"What accident?"
Daddy Oak took a deep breath and said, "This pretentious race would be stupid enough to challenge us!" ”
Wang Qiang moved his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Daddy Oak continued, "The Shura discovered our ship docked in low Earth orbit during their plane exploration, and launched a sneak attack on us, and it just so happened that many of our people were asleep, and the weakness of the guards gave them an opportunity.
Once again, we suffered heavy losses, more than a hundred of our clansmen died in a sneak attack. This made us very angry, and the Shura clan could not afford our wrath, so they erased their world and their history with it. This was only a thousand years ago. ”
Wang Qiang stroked his beard, thinking that a thousand years ago, it seemed to be very close to him.
"Although we have exterminated the Shura clan, our only people are becoming more and more vulnerable, so much so that we have to suppress the virus inside our bodies with all our strength to ensure the continuation of life and sanity. If there are no accidents, we will be completely healed in our slumber or completely perished in our slumber. But three hundred years ago, I changed my mind. ”
"You?" Wang Qiang asked.
Daddy Oak nodded: "Yes, that's me!" For tens of thousands of years, as one of the few people intact, I have taken on the responsibility of keeping the Sleepers safe. But after the surprise attack of the Shura, I am deeply aware of the fact ---that our race will inevitably die out eventually, even if we are cured of the mysterious disease. ”
"Why?" Wang Qiang asked.
"Because we can't find a way to continue the inheritance, we don't have the ability to reproduce!" Daddy Oak sighed.
"So I changed my mind, and I took advantage of the time when the people were asleep and awake to advance your evolution...... I've decided to let you grow up as quickly as possible. If you are well versed in the history of your humanity, you should know that in these three hundred years, your human society and the transformation of the world have combined more than all previous human history combined, and this is happening faster and faster, if nothing else, you will be able to travel through planes and time in hundreds of years. All this is thanks to me! ”
Wang Qiang moved his throat and asked, "What have you done?" ”
Daddy Oak thought for a moment and said, "Originally, I was incarnated as Isaac. Newton expounded the three fundamental laws of mechanics to you in a systematic way, which brought about the greatest scientific revolution for you. It was I who personally opened the door for you to be promoted to a higher civilization.
Then, as Laplace, I wrote "Celestial Mechanics", "Theory of Cosmological Systems", and "Theory of Probabilistic Analysis" based on human astronomy and applied mathematics. It was I who told you the first macroscopic theory of the universe, from an acceptable point of view in your time.
Then I became Leonhard. Euler, the successful combination of primitive mechanics, primitive geometry, and fundamental analytical methods in mathematics is the scientific method that I have told you about the use of mathematics, and has pointed you in the direction of the development of pioneering mathematics.
But you are stupid and stupid enough to linger outside the halls of science, and I have to make myself John Carl Friedrich Gauss and James Clark Maxwell. It has taken me nearly a hundred years to elaborate the mathematical foundations of basic planetary life in various branches, and to elevate modern physics to a level that is enough for you to pay attention to, and thus enlighten your first scientific researchers.
When your mathematical research is on the right path and physics is beginning to emerge with a large number of geniuses, I have taken the form of Dmitry Mendeleev and opened the door to the temple of the elements for you, and introduced you to one of the most promising tech trees of organic life!
Then I became a manyman, step by step, and sent your race to unprecedented heights.
If you don't do stupid things, you should be happy. ”
Daddy Oak was grieved.
Wang Qiang's head was a little unable to turn, although he had been shocked by Daddy Oak's words again and again, he still couldn't wake up from the shock.
"What stupid thing did we do?" Wang Qiang couldn't help but ask.
Daddy Oak shook his head and said, "It was an accident, and we were responsible for our negligence, but you were really stupid. ”
As he spoke, the picture of the hall changed again.
On a huge experimental bench, a strange corpse was lying.
Strange!
The alien corpse was about one and a half meters long, and three huge blue tentacles lay horizontally on the dissecting table, like giant octopus tentacles. Around the octopus aliens, more than a dozen human scientists in robes are busy.
"This is Uloros, a member of our race, who died by suicide due to the effects of a mysterious virus. By all sorts of coincidences, his body fell into your hands, and you didn't even realize what disaster you were about to face. Instead, in order to get what you want, you are greedy and want to start searching for the mystery of eternal life from Urolos.
We learn the truth from the time backtrack, it turns out that Uloros came to the human scientists in his true identity before committing suicide, and seduced a considerable number of scientists, telling humanity that the secret of immortality lies in its genes.
Faced with the temptation of eternal life, several major human countries have formed a secret joint scientific research department and opened the [Gate] project representing eternal life, in an attempt to decipher our gene chain code. ”
Daddy Oak sighed: "You are really stupid, according to the current level of technology you have, it is simply a fool's dream to try to decipher the code of our genetic chain.
If you were just stupid, you might not have gone extinction, but the smartest among you came up with an alternative solution when you discovered that it would take tens of thousands of years to decipher our genetic code using supercomputers.
Although you can't decipher our gene chain code, you actually rewrite our gene chain with a gourd, and carry out a copycat!
You copy part of the genetic code from the copycat into your own gene body, in an attempt to get a shortcut to eternal life in this way.
However, you have failed.
Instead of succeeding and receiving eternal life, you have transplanted the virus that is hidden in us! ”
