Chapter 103: Long live
[Wish: Happy 18th birthday to Xiaoyu! ] Daddy loves you forever! 】
Taking advantage of the robot's efforts to carry blood beans and the computer room to upload data, Xia and Xing Wen relied on a broken place to chat. chatted and talked about the lifespan of the Ming people.
"In fact, the problem of extending life expectancy has only been solved in the last 50 years," Xing said.
"Oh?" Summer is coming, as long as it is a normal person, who doesn't want to live for two more years, especially he also knows that the average life expectancy of the Ming people is three hundred years old, which is more than the average life expectancy of the earthlings at 75 years old (note), "Can you tell me more details?" ”
"Of course," Xing Wen said with a smile, but before he began to introduce the secret of longevity, he asked rhetorically, "Do you know what the average lifespan of primitive people is?" ”
Summer shook his head, how did he know, although it was said in the history books, but he couldn't study at all, so he couldn't remember the knowledge in these textbooks.
"Diao Chan should know, right?" Xing Wen asked.
"Yes, Diao Chan knows," Diao Chan said, "According to the records of modern earth knowledge, the average life expectancy of human ancestors was only about 10 years old, and the average life expectancy of Peking people more than 700,000 years ago was only about 15 years old. ”
"Why is it so short?" Summer asked.
"yes, do you know why?" Xing Wen asked, looking at Xia's blank look, and said, "This has a lot to do with diet. Of course, various irresistible factors such as war and natural disasters are also related, but diet is the biggest reason.
"With the human diet from raw food to cooked food, from hungry to fine and rich food, human life expectancy is gradually improving, but no breakthrough can be made."
"That's right," Summer asked, "and how did Daming break through?" ”
"It's still diet, that is, to abandon the intake of primitive material foods and replace it with pure energy absorption." Xing Wen's words were amazing, I couldn't believe it in summer, the implication was that people can live a long life without eating, how could it be possible, they would starve to death if they were hungry!
"You mean skipping meals?" Summer asked rhetorically.
"Yes, even if you don't eat, but pure energy absorption instead of raw food intake is still in the theoretical stage, and it is still difficult to achieve."
"Could it be that there are really immortals who don't eat fireworks in the world?" Summer asked, as far as he knew, in some ancient myths and legends, immortals just didn't eat, so he asked.
Xing Wen shook his hand and said with a smile: "That's deification, ancient people couldn't eat enough, so they fantasized that they could live without eating after becoming an immortal." ”
"Oh, I see," Xia nodded, "how did the Ming people live to an average life expectancy of three hundred years now?" ”
"Although the absorption of pure energy has not yet been realized, there is a transition period now, and that is the essence cocoon."
"Essence Cocoon?" Summer asked. He knew that Daming Technology was mainly based on celestial insects, which had four kinds of cocoons, flying cocoons (teleportation cocoons), hibernation cocoons, Yuanshen cocoons and essence cocoons. He has seen the first three, but the fourth kind of essence cocoon has not yet been seen.
"Essence Qi Cocoon," Xing Wen said, "can replenish your energy, adults, soak in the Essence Qi Cocoon every ten days to absorb energy, once for four hours." You are guaranteed to live to be 300 years old. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
Xing Wen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, it's as simple as that." In the ultimate transition period where energy and food coexist, the average life expectancy could theoretically increase to 750 years. And the current 300 years old is only the beginning of the transition period. ”
Summer was stunned, 750 years old, what kind of concept is this? If the problem of energy absorption is solved, the life will be even longer! Looks like I've come to the right place for Dawning II. Even the current 300-year-old primary stage is also very long, but why has Diao Chan never mentioned it to me?
"Diao Chan, why haven't I heard you say it?" Summer asked, pretending to be angry.
"I'm sorry adults, but the Essence Cocoon is only suitable for adults." Diao Chan replied simply.
"I'll go, what are you talking about? Am I not an underage? Summer asked rhetorically, he has his own exclusive machine room puppet, how can he say that he is not yet an adult?
"Yes, my lord, you must be at least eighteen years old. And your eighteenth birthday is still a month away, my lord. Diao Chan still replied mechanically.
"Diao Chan is right, Lord Xia, you can't blame her," Xing Wen cleared the siege on the side, and then continued to introduce the topic of lifespan, only to hear him say: "Human beings have gone from crude raw food to fine food, and their lifespan has increased from 15 to 75 years old, which is five times. At the age of 750, when energy and food are used together, it has increased by 10 times. ”
"Can it be extended later?"
"Of course, theoretically, it can be greatly extended," Xing Wen said with a smile, "The absorption of pure energy will increase the lifespan by 15 times, which is 750 times 15." Lord Xia, how old is it? Ha ha! ”
Summer counted for a while and exclaimed: "11,250 years old!" Hooray! ”
"Haha, Lord Xia, your arithmetic is very good! That's right, but 10,000 years is not the ultimate human lifespan. ”
"Can it be improved?"
"Yes, it can be improved, but this is just speculation, and it is unknown whether it exists." Looking at the endless night sky, Xing Wen let out a long sigh, "It was God who gave Daming a glorious future. We worship God, worship God, and fear God. This god, they live in the distant heavenly realm. It has been 2,476 million years since the birth of the celestial realm. And even 10,000 years of life is only a snap of a finger in God's eyes. ”
"God?" Summer asked suspiciously, how could Daming, who is so technologically advanced, actually believe that there is a god in the world? "You're talking about the Engineer, right?"
Xing Wen didn't answer him, but said with a wry smile: "Even if you can live for 100 million years and be the same age as the universe, so what? The days without Yurong, even for a second, are long and painful years for me. ”
Summer patted him on the shoulder and comforted him silently, he had to find ways to arouse his courage to live, there were still more than two hundred years to live, and he couldn't be so depressed! At the same time, he swore in his heart that he must find a way to get Mira to come to Daming, let her live with him to be three hundred years old, and grow old slowly with him.
The two chatted for a while, watching as the robots were almost done. Due to the fact that there were too many blood beans on the battleship, there were not enough cryogenic storage boxes with it, so they could only be transported back first, and the rest could be shipped on the second trip.
Just as he was about to tell everyone to send back the spaceship, Mira went online, and when she learned that Summer had come to the battleship in person, she couldn't help but angrily count Summer, but Summer just smiled silly and responded to her reproach, but said in her heart: "If you want to stand on this dark universe, how can you not have something to watch after?" ”
