(Apologies for the error, in Chapter 733, the mistake is as follows: It is not a lie to be the 49th ranked empire, with a territory of hundreds of light-years and thousands of planets of life; It is constantly expanding, integrating the wisdom of more than 10,000 civilizations and races, with trillions of people and hundreds of millions of scientists.

It should be: a territory of five light years, hundreds of planets of life ......)

"Ahem...... "The second prince Lieyang. Light. Bo Ying coughed weakly, and a mouthful of dark red blood spat out.

"Your Highness!"

"Father's ......"

There was a lot of sorrow all around. I've been traveling for 100 years, and I'm only halfway there. Space is very empty, especially after leaving the Pearl Star Field, there is no ethereal superpower energy in the starry sky, and it has relied on superpowers for a long time, so that the life that leaves the Pearl Star Field is like a fish leaving the water, and the body is getting weaker and weaker; The people in the Pearl Star Field, who once had an average life expectancy of 200 years, shrank their lives in an instant; In a hundred years, the second prince is already old! The short red hair that was once spiritual has turned gray, like dry grass and trees; In addition to the unknown energy, there is also a point that ultra-long-distance cosmic travel inevitably leads to the inability of the body to withstand the pressure of the unknown; The ultra-long-distance migration of earthlings has been encountered, and there are not a few who have died.

It's just that over the years, the farthest distance traveled by earthlings is only 20 light years, and there is usually only one time in a lifetime! No one is idle and has nothing to do, flying in space every day, even if you have the capital and leisure, you have to see if there is a spaceship.

And now, travelers from the Holy Sun Empire. However, it has experienced hundreds of years of continuous flight, and has flown a distance of about 80 light years. Such a long and long-distance travel has caused changes in space and time from the universe, radiation, and so on, to begin to affect living organisms. Of course, the universe looks very empty, but it is also very complex, and neither the earthlings nor the intelligent life in the Pearl Star Domain can explore too much.

For example, right now, the second prince and the most noble Cunzi in the fleet still can't resist the influence from the universe, and now he has begun to be terminally ill. The body itself is decrepit. Nothing can be done with any medical technology. The complexity of life. In particular, the complexity of intelligent life cannot be solved by a few genes, changing bodies, etc. As long as one day it is impossible to analyze the generation and transplantation of "spiritual intelligence", human beings and all intelligent life. I had to accept the arrangement of fate - inevitable death.

"How long can I live?" The second prince asked the middle-aged doctor next to him. This doctor. It's a person who was born on a spaceship. There were 105 spaceships and a billion people when they set off, and now there are not many of the billions left. Now the spaceship is almost entirely new.

"Hey...... Your Highness, there are still about three years. "The people born on the spaceship are no worse than the original old men; There is a good social system on the spaceship, and even every room has an Internet, so you can log in to the online world to learn more.

"Three years?" The second prince thought quietly, and there was a depression around him. Although the interior of the Pearl Star Field is 40 light-years in diameter, people generally do not fly more than 10 light-years away; And because black holes distort space, with a little space technology, it is enough to make a distance of 10 light years, and the travel time is generally about three or five years.

It's just that in the outside world, time and space are normal, and these superficial space technologies have lost their usefulness.

"Three years, it's too short...... the second prince thought about it for a long time, suddenly sighed, and then finally made up his mind, "Seal me, and when you reach your destination, unseal me, so that you can have at least a year." I think it would be better for me to communicate with other civilizations. ”

"Your Highness, please rest for two days, we need two days to prepare. In addition, in the past two days, His Highness also needs to take and inject some anti-cell swelling and cracking drugs. "The doctor was meticulous. There will be no doubts about His Highness's decision, just do your own thing.

"Hey, I'm sorry for you children." The corners of the second prince's eyes suddenly moistened, the travel of the universe is really difficult, it has only been a hundred years, and the newest born in space has a fifth generation, and it can run around the ground.

The elderly second prince decided to freeze himself, suspend the loss of life, and wait until the destination to unseal; The news swept through 105 spacecraft. This means that the old generation has officially become a thing of the past, and the spacecraft in the future will be the world of the new generation. However, the goal of space travel will not change! The new generation, under the education of the older generation and the influence of childhood, will also go to foreign civilizations and bring alternative civilizations and technologies back to their own countries, as a new and only goal. This already carries a pilgrimage mentality: make your civilization stronger!

With the second prince being temporarily frozen, more than 5 important people on the spaceship also applied for ice, some things, I personally went out, undoubtedly better, sometimes, maybe just a few words can be compared to a few years of communication of the new generation.

After a brief lament, the ship continued to move forward, without slowing down; Only the occasional burst of energy weapons and destroyed small meteorites indicate that the spaceship still has a strong vitality. And the slightly mottled traces on the outside of the spacecraft indicate that the universe is not really empty, but still has some small debris. With such a high velocity, the debris is still a threat to the ship; But it's not very big, just pay a little attention.

After that, the spacecraft began an endless flight mission, with limited communication between the spacecraft and the spacecraft through small aircraft. Also, although it is said that when we set off, the material reserves were sufficient, but after more than one hundred and fifty, we also began to be stretched. In order to cope with at least fifty years of travel, the ship had to enforce birth restrictions, which began to plummet the population of 1.1 billion people. But such a means can be regarded as ensuring the healthy operation of the spacecraft.

――――――――

However, it is said that today's empire has entered the imperial calendar for 400 years, and today's empire has completely changed, and the sixth emperor is now reigning. Zhang Huaiyuan is also the fourth-generation great-grandson of Zhang Jingyuan.

400 years of development have made the empire truly powerful. The solar system is still the core of humanity, and there is only one Earth that is alone and cannot be handled. Over the years, many citizens of the empire have been tough on "recovering the earth"; But the empire thought about it for a long time and did not implement it. After all, this is the ancestral star of mankind: the name of the ancestral star is destined to be impossible for the empire to attack with drastic means.

For 400 years. 20 light years. A total of 58 star systems have been discovered, of which 20 have the value of modification. Among them, there is a Barnard Star West of the Republic, and an Earth; The rest, all belong to the empire (department). Of course. The division is divided like this. Actually, because of the vastness of the universe. Cross-star system governance is still unrealistic, and each galaxy operates independently. It's just that the countries that split from the empire are more or less respected by the empire.

Now. The gap between the imperial and republican lines has grown farther and farther; These gaps are mainly in practice! Of course, there is also the gap of peak technology.

As time passed, the benefits of the practice gradually became apparent. When the average life expectancy on Earth stopped at 80 years, the average life expectancy of the average citizen of the (solar system) empire was about 120 years; A gap of 40 years is enough for a scientist to play more than four times the value. Not to mention, this is just ordinary citizens!

On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Empire, another class was officially born: the nobles!

The nobles, between the nobles and the citizens, are a group of people who have made social contributions and have strong cultivation ability, and they all have good cultivation qualifications and certain cultivation ability. However, the nobles and citizens are listed in the law to unify the class; However, because of the ability to practice (the Void Pill Period), with a minimum lifespan of 200 years and a maximum (Jindan Period) of 500 years, a new class has been formed unconsciously and naturally. And when the cultivation enters the infant stage, the empire will automatically grant the title of lord-baron; Lords, who do not have hereditary abilities, but who are title holders enjoy the same treatment as normal titles.

However, in the perception of the empire and the whole society, spiritual cultivation is regarded as a right granted to citizens by the empire, so it is not a contribution to the success of spiritual practice; Therefore, in the constitution of the empire, the existence of a class of nobles is not recognized; In the strictest constitution, your citizens are citizens, but they may be richer and more powerful. However, society is developing after all, and the laws of the empire have not yet officially recognized it, but society has accepted this class, and they even have their own representatives, associations, and so on.

In addition, as the life expectancy of people with cultivation lineage is getting longer and more multiplying, the number of noble people is expanding dramatically; In contrast, the number of citizens is decreasing. It is foreseeable that under this ruthless rule of natural elimination, after a thousand years, there will be no more citizen classes in the Empire! In other words, the citizen class will likely be "upgraded" to the "protection ranks". Only those with noble bloodlines can constantly gain new living space. Because, those who do not have a cultivation bloodline will gradually be eliminated by this society, and human beings have never stopped moving forward, let alone stopped.

Of course, the long life span has also led to a large number of excellent scientists springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and each of them also has a strong memory ability, a strong life, and a long lifespan. Some people have commented that an excellent scientist in the empire is already capable of creating a civilized country of his own! Top scientists, plus cultivators, are all monsters with the ability to destroy the world. Of course, the empire that can control these monsters in its hands is even more abyss and cannot be detected.

And Zhang Huaiyuan, the sixth emperor who came to the throne not long ago, saw the changes in society, and the new policy he implemented pushed this prosperous world to the peak! This new policy is: the empire began to try to develop into a civilization that integrates cultivation and technology, and truly pushed the human civilization to a civilization with the ability to expand the universe!

As for citizens and nobles, Zhang Huaiyuan also treats them equally, for a very good reason: the descendants of ordinary people may have cultivation qualifications; And the descendants of the practitioner may not have the ability to practice. The power of inheritance is still not something that can be fully analyzed by current technology. From a spiritual point of view, lineage is also related to the soul -- and the study of the soul is still a weakness of science.

In the more than 20 years since the New Deal, a society that is at the peak of temporary science and technology and is close to stagnation has exploded with unprecedented enthusiasm. Practice, which has completely unveiled the mysterious cotton yarn, has become a standard course in 12 years of compulsory education (including kindergarten)!

In just 20 years, technology and cultivation have begun to fundamentally try to merge! Fundamentally, it is the fusion of theories.

Scientific, pay attention to seeking truth from facts, seeing is believing; Pay more attention to accumulation and theory.

And cultivation pays attention to the ethereal......

But recently, with the development of cosmic information theory, with the development of science and technology, and with the increase in the number of practitioners, another demonic genius has finally been born. Huang Daoxuan, an ordinary practitioner, yet published a remarkable research theory: the theory says that both spiritual practice and technology are the application of energy and matter. In the end, the desired outcome is the same. Moreover, cultivation and technology are not completely incompatible. The development of science and technology requires theory, and the pinnacle of cultivation requires mastery of the rules of heaven and earth. In fact, this so-called rule of heaven and earth, embodied (expressed in numbers), isn't it just a formula!

After that, I attached my own research on palm thunder, as well as the research report on lightning and electric energy, and I actually used the machine to imitate the palm thunder that can be controlled by a computer! This is the first time that a human has launched a spell attack with a machine!

Huang Daoxuan became the darling of another era with a thesis, and under the influence of this, mankind has taken a big step forward on the road of complete integration of technology and cultivation! Then, Huang Daoxuan was entangled with a group of like-minded people, summarized the technological achievements of his predecessors, and proposed a new scientific and technological system: metaphysical technology! A scientific system that perfectly integrates practice with traditional technology is also a new system of practice. (To be continued......)
