Chapter 251: Arriving at Pandora
In the few days after Sun Xiucheng woke up, in addition to doing some physical function recovery training, the rest of the time was to chat with some people, talk about life, talk about ideals, and live a very comfortable life.
Of course, Sun Xiucheng did not forget to take advantage of this time to have a good relationship with Jack, the protagonist of the original plot, because Sun Xiucheng made a lot of preparations in advance, so it only took a few days for Sun Xiucheng and Jack to become good friends who talked about everything.
The Entrepreneur spacecraft was too large to land, so thousands of kilometers from Pandora, the group boarded a heavy transport plane to the human settlement on Pandora.
When the hatch opened, everyone who couldn't wait immediately rushed off the spaceship, and Sun Xiucheng did not compete with everyone, but walked last. After pushing the transport plane, looking at the surrounding environment, Sun Xiucheng said with a smile:
"Jack, I thought that you could leave that noisy part of the earth and come to this legendary planet of Pandora, which is full of forests and nature, would be very helpful for your physical and mental health, but now it seems that this is not the case. The roar of the machines here is as loud as on Earth, and it seems that we have left one cage and walked into another. ”
Sun Xiucheng deliberately instilled the concept of environmental protection in Jack, so that Jack would get tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, so as not to make the plot change too much because of his appearance. Sun Xiucheng's actions during this period of time have obvious effects. When Jack realized that the scene in front of him was not as beautiful as he imagined, he immediately frowned.
"Doctor. As you say, we human beings, the natural enemies of nature, have changed the earth beyond recognition for the sake of our ever-expanding *, and now we are doing it again. Reaching out to the planet Pandora. I can even foresee, in the near future. Pandora will be as barren and destroyed as the earth, doctor, can't we humans live in harmony with nature? ”
After listening to Jack's complaining words. Sun Xiucheng smiled slightly and said with a smile:
"Of course, human beings can live in harmony with the natural world, in fact, no one likes to destroy nature, but there are some problems with the social form of the entire earth today, and the selfish desires of a few people will make the planet Pandora face the danger of destruction. I believe that now these are among those who are destroying the planet Pandora. Most people are as reluctant to do this as you are, but they don't have a choice to survive or for other reasons. ”
Sun Xiucheng wants Jack to embark on the established path. It can be described as painstaking, Sun Xiucheng tried to convince Jack that the destruction of the planet Pandora was only due to the greed of a few people, so that Jack could give himself a good excuse when he wanted to help the Na'vi people in the future.
"yes. Doctor, you're right. How can we ordinary people be willing to destroy the masterpieces of nature with our own hands, but we can't help it. Just like me, I don't want anyone to destroy the beautiful environment of Pandora, but in order to heal my legs, I have to participate in the Avatar Project and find ways to communicate with the indigenous people here so that the mining operation can go faster and smoother. ”
After Jack finished speaking, he sighed helplessly, Sun Xiucheng looked at Jack and said with a slight smile:
"The development plan of Planet Pandora, even if we resolutely oppose it, it will not be of the slightest use, ordinary people like us can't change the general decision of the RDA company at all, in this case, let's not mention these unpleasant things! Jack, actually, through this interstellar journey, I suddenly thought of a way to cure you, perhaps, this method is more reliable than pinning your hopes on RDA Corporation. ”
"What's the solution, doctor?" Hearing Sun Xiucheng talk about his illness, Jack immediately raised his attention.
"Jack, your legs are the result of injuries on the battlefield, loss of sensation in your legs, and then a long period of inactivity, which caused muscle atrophy and nervous system degeneration, and finally became like this. With our current level of medical care, even if there is a hospital that can cure your illness, it will take a long time to treat, and in addition, your physical fitness will never return to the level you had when you were a Marine. When I came out of the hibernation pod, it occurred to me that if you use the hibernation pod, wake up every five years to refuel, and then continue to sleep in the hibernation pod, then you will have no problem living for hundreds of years. In a few hundred years, technology will definitely be more advanced than it is now, and at that time, maybe there will be some way for you to fully recover. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Xiucheng couldn't help but stop, because Sun Xiucheng suddenly remembered another use of the hibernation cabin, a use that made Sun Xiucheng a little unbelievable.
"Doctor, doctor, are you alright, have you thought of anything?" Seeing Sun Xiucheng stop, Jack immediately asked out loud.
"I did think of something amazing, Jack, have you ever thought about immortality?"
Sun Xiucheng's question made Jack stunned, hesitated for a moment, and Jack said with a smile:
"Doctor, if I didn't know that you were a scientist, I would have thought you were a theologian, immortality, this is simply impossible, there is no such thing as true eternity in nature. In addition, if people can really live forever, then human beings will continue to reproduce, and it won't be long before the entire universe will be filled with human beings! ”
Jack apparently didn't think much about it, and after expressing his disbelief in immortality, Jack didn't forget to make a joke.
"Jack, as I just said, using the hibernation pod, you can even live until a few hundred years later, and the technology in a few hundred years will definitely be more advanced than now, maybe there will be something that will make the life span of human beings appear at that time, greatly extend the technology, after extending the lifespan, then use the hibernation pod, and then extend the life in the future, in this way, immortality is not really possible!"
Sun Xiucheng's words made Jack couldn't help but be stunned, Jack wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he didn't know what to say. Sun Xiucheng pushed the wheelchair and speculated maliciously:
"Perhaps, the reason why the earth has become what it is now is because some people who want to live forever are constantly trying to accumulate more wealth for their own selfish desires. After all, if people can only live for more than a hundred years, when there is a certain amount of wealth, more wealth is just a number, but if people can live forever, it will be different. Jack, do you say that when someone evaluates us ordinary people in the future, will they say that the meaning of our existence is just a tool to become eternal? ”
Although Sun Xiucheng was joking with Jack, Sun Xiucheng knew in his heart that his guess was very likely to be true. (To be continued)
