[Chapter 334: The Gate of Evolution]

It's a magical journey, it's a romantic interstellar journey.

From the friction of the sand on the beach to the whistling sound of volleyball, Liu Fei's thoughts spread little by little, and the scene in his brain was constantly changing.

At this moment, he felt as if he was sitting quietly in a closed room, the bright starlight gently passing by the window; It feels like sitting on the top of a high mountain, looking down at the rolling mountains, looking up at the stars, bathed in the moonlight, and the surrounding silence.

Suddenly.

Liu Fei felt that his thoughts suddenly expanded rapidly, expanding outward, getting bigger and bigger. Its rapid speed and vigor are vigorous, as if the entire universe is about to be involved, this feeling is wonderful, Liu Fei has a feeling of transcending all living beings, transcending all known and unknown things and worlds.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and the rapid speed seems to be about to break through the shell of time and space. Perceptions, memories and imaginations are reduced to thousands of fragments, and the tide is pouring in.

In the distance, there seemed to be a dazzling spark attracting Liu Fei's thoughts to spread-

"Liu Fei, is that you?" When his thoughts were like thousands of horses galloping, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in the void, and that voice was very familiar to Liu Fei.

It's a little monk.

The galloping thoughts suddenly stopped, and in an instant, Liu Fei's thoughts were pulled to the starry sky outside Fox, and he could have a bird's-eye view of Fox's magnificent and majestic hull flying like a giant beast in the clean night sky, and behind it, there was a cyan tail flame. Around it, there were also five armed flying boats in formation.

"It's me."

"You opened the door to evolution?" The little monk's voice was filled with an indescribable shock.

"The Gate of Evolution?" Liu Fei was stunned.

"You don't know?" The little monk was also stunned.

"I don't know-" Liu Fei's shock was beyond measure, he could actually feel the existence of the little monk. He couldn't describe that kind of existence, it was a new form of life, condensed by complex signals into a cartoon little monk, constantly jumping from one carrier to another, and it seemed very busy.

"Then why were you able to catch my signal?"

"-I don't know." Liu Fei shook his head.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely strange thing. It is understandable that Liu Fei and the tadpole have brainwave communication, after all, the tadpole is a flesh and blood life; The little monk is an electronic signal, and a human being can directly link with the electronic signal without any medium, which has surpassed the thinking of human imagination.

"It may be an accident, with your ability, even if it takes another thousand years, it is impossible to cross the gate of evolution - hey, you are busy, the old man has to sort out the information." The little monk scratched his head, and it seemed that he couldn't explain it.

"What is the Gate of Evolution?" Liu Fei naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity, he knew that the little monk was a huge treasure house here, holding the mysteries of the universe and the secrets of human evolution

"It's a complicated question, and with your IQ, it's hard for me to explain it to you."

"Maybe I can get it."

"In the universe, there is a barrier in the evolutionary history of every species, and this barrier becomes the door of evolution." The little monk thought for a moment.

"What barrier?"

"This-this-really hard to explain. For example, some dinosaurs evolved a pair of wings to escape from the harsh environment and turned into birds - this is too complicated! Well, let's take you humans as an example, human beings evolved from sea creatures to terrestrial creatures, and in tens of millions of years of evolution, they became the current human beings, among which, human beings have gone through three evolutionary gates. The first is the evolution from marine organisms to terrestrial organisms, which is the period of the greatest change in the structure of the human body, and intelligence can be described as the beginning of Hongmeng; The second is the evolution from primitive creatures to intelligent creatures, and this period is from the Stone Age to mechanical civilization; The third way is to break through the space barrier and enter the universe, which includes the invention of the warp engine and the exploration of space windows. These three processes, each evolution, make the survival of human beings change from quantitative to qualitative, which is called the three evolutionary gates. ”

"In other words, humanity is about to enter the fourth gate of evolution?" Liu Fei's heart moved.

"Yes."

"What is the fourth evolutionary gate?"

"It's hard to say, in fact, the form of human evolution has diversified. Human brains are getting smarter and more creative, and it is not impossible for human beings to change the universe with science and technology in the future; In addition to the brain, human limbs are also changing, and while many human abilities are degrading, many abilities have also been added, such as being able to master intelligent machines as quickly as possible, and being able to adapt to long-distance space travel. You may not know that more than a thousand years ago, ordinary people's bodily functions were not adapted to space survival at all, and every astronaut had to go through years of training to adapt to the living environment in outer space, and now, anyone can live in space for a long time-"

Liu Fei was silent for a while.

Obviously, what the little monk said is very reasonable, this is like an ape coming down from a tree and picking up a stick, and the ancient earthlings getting motion sickness and seasickness, from a lack of adaptation to gradual adaptation, which is also a kind of evolution. Human beings unconsciously change their physical functions in life, making themselves more adaptable to the living environment.

In fact, animals, insects and bacteria are all evolving with the human environment, and some insects and bacteria have become resistant to human drugs, which is also an evolutionary process. In the course of these evolutions, they have become more and more powerful and more difficult to eliminate.

"Mankind has encountered a bottleneck in space technology, and at present, it may take a long time for mankind to evolve in science and technology."

"Bottlenecks in space technology?"

"Yes, the bottleneck of space technology, at present, human beings can only carry out space navigation through the space window in the universe, which itself is full of risks and very time-consuming, it is impossible for human beings to let their footprints cover every corner of the universe, and even human exploration can not keep up with the speed of expansion of the universe, for the intelligent life of the entire universe, human beings are low-level, in their eyes, human beings are like apes with stone axes."

"Such a big gap?" Liu Fei's face showed a sluggish look.

"Well, from the perspective of the evolution of science and technology, the gap is very large, you imagine, human beings cannot keep up with the speed of the expansion of the universe, then it means that human beings cannot keep up with the speed of the shrinking of the universe, if it really comes to that day, the human beings in the seven star fields will never be the last intelligent life to die. However, the other form of human evolution spans a lot, and if we count according to the three paths of science and technology, the other form of evolution knows that it has crossed the fifth evolutionary gate. ”

"What would that look like?"

"It's hard for me to make this clear, although I am an artificial intelligence life, I have very little grasp of some human abilities, especially some advanced evolutionary forms, but communicating with artificial intelligence is one of the minimum abilities."

"Oh-" Liu Fei showed a look of disappointment on his face.

"Don't worry, you're already standing outside the threshold, but it's hard to really step into the threshold—"

"How hard is it?" Liu Fei's face showed a hint of determination.

"How difficult is it -- haha -- from the origin of human beings on the earth to the present, there have been tens of millions of years, and the total population of human beings over the past generations has only exceeded trillions, but the number of people who can cross this threshold is less than 10,000, less than 1 in 100 million, do you say it is difficult?" The little monk laughed.

"In other words, there are less than 10,000 people who have crossed the fifth evolutionary gate?"

"No, no, no, that's not the case, there are many, many more, and the Earth is not the first place of human origin. Hehe, little one, the history of mankind in the universe is long, and I can't tell you for a while, besides, with your current ability, it's better not to know, so as not to add to your troubles-quack-" The little monk laughed strangely.

“――”

"Go ahead, it's not going to be easy, be careful."

"Is there a situation?" Liu Fei was in good spirits.
