Chapter 67: Superpowers: The Theory of Evolution
After talking to Feng Dong, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, so after Lin Xu left, he didn't continue to patrol, but left the area directly and returned to the place where he parked.
He was really speechless about Feng Dong's strange superpowers, and he was really not interested in discussing more with the first person with superpowers he had discovered. Because of this superpower, it will be really embarrassing to discuss it.
When Lin Xu didn't understand the affairs of men and women before, he might have been very curious about this kind of topic. But now that I understand it, I feel that this matter is very private, and it is really not suitable to talk about it openly with others. Especially when talking to someone of the same sex, it can be embarrassing. So much so that after he didn't want to continue, he couldn't prove that what Feng Dong said was true or false, to verify whether the so-called "superpower" was true.
However, although it was not verified, Lin Xu was still inclined to believe that what Feng Dong said was true. Because this superpower is so weird, so strange that I can't even think of it, and I can't make it up at all. So, if it wasn't real and experienced, how could Feng Dong say it?
Superpowers and special functions, like the martial arts described in martial arts, have always been considered fictional. But since the martial arts with internal power have been personally proven by him to be true, it is possible that such a thing as superpower also really exists.
Since cultivating the first wisp of internal qi, Lin Xu's worldview has changed a lot. That is, "the world is so big that there are no wonders", and nothing is impossible and absolute. What you don't think doesn't exist may just be because you haven't seen it. After all, the world is so big, who can understand everything. Science has developed to the present, and there are still many unsolved mysteries.
Just like the soul, no one can prove that the soul exists, but no one can prove that the soul does not exist. And most people, and even some scientific opinions, believe that the soul does exist. It's just that the current scientific research has not yet proved and discovered.
And superpowers, in the scientific community, have also been studied for a long time, and there are many theoretical knowledge and scientific assumptions. Lin Xu had read an article about this kind of thing in a magazine before, saying that Western countries began to study superpowers and superhumans as early as World War II. Even back then, the real superpowers had been discovered, but they had been secretly controlled and studied by various governments, so they were not known to outsiders.
With the development of science to the present, the use of science and technology to strengthen and change the human body itself has long been a point of view and idea. Even clones are real. Technology is sometimes more advanced than people know and think. Technologies such as gene enhancement, enhancement agents, and genetic adjustment have been studied for a long time.
And the real example, Lin Xu has already encountered, is the foreign girl Jessica he met in Bincheng.
Jessica is completely artificially enhanced by modern science and technology, and according to her, the secret organization of the US government that she escaped from is conducting research on human enhancement drugs. She is an experimental subject of this organization, and through the injection of drugs, she has been fully strengthened in all aspects of her body, including strength.
This agent can be said to be a successful research, but it has not yet reached 100% success. People who inject drugs have a certain chance of being fatal, and it is as high as more than 50 percent. In addition, those who can survive the successful enhancement also have the defect of shortening their lifespan, and those who strengthen it will not live for more than ten years.
But even with the high risk of lethality and this defect, the drug can be said to be successful. Because the people who have been successfully strengthened after injection, their physical functions have been greatly enhanced, and they are all superhuman, and their strength has increased almost tenfold. As far as Jessica's strength is concerned, it can already exert a thousand catties (half a ton) of great power.
Gaining so much power is the same as having superpowers. And the acquisition of this power does not need to go through arduous cultivation, but only needs to be injected with a potion, and after being able to survive and succeed, it can be obtained.
In comparison, the superpowers that Feng Dong has awakened now can reach more than three hundred catties, which is far inferior to the strengthening effect of this potion. Therefore, the research of this potion is also equivalent to the study of how to make human beings gain superpowers.
There is another theoretical direction regarding superpowers, which is evolution. It is said that the generation of superpowers is the evolutionary embodiment of human beings. After all, research shows that humans evolved from monkeys. After a long period of time, will human beings be able to evolve further and evolve into more powerful and perfect human beings? For example, having a super physique, as well as a long lifespan, and so on.
Superpowers are individuals in all human beings whose evolutionary mutations have accelerated. They evolved one step ahead of all the others.
Everyone in this world is different, some people are born with high IQ or good physique, and some people are not. These people who are born with high IQs, compared to ordinary people, are they considered to be an evolution, and they are also some kind of superpowers. Moreover, the children born now are more intelligent and precocious than the previous generation, and this is not also some kind of gradual evolution.
There are many theories and some corroborations, and there are also many real examples. Therefore, the theory of human evolution is also a mainstream theory in terms of superpowers.
In terms of evolutionary theory, martial arts can also be regarded as a unique way to accelerate the evolution of the human body. Because after practicing martial arts, the physique is better, the strength is stronger, and even if the internal force cultivation is successful, not only can you be more intelligent, but your life span can also be greatly extended. Isn't this kind of manifestation an evolution into a more powerful and perfect human being? Therefore, martial arts training, from a scientific point of view, can also be said to be a kind of evolution.
Superpowers are evolutionaries with accelerated genetic mutations, and they are extremely rare individuals in all human beings, and martial arts are special methods that can gradually evolve ordinary people and strengthen them step by step. In the end, the two can be regarded as the same goal. It's just that superpowers are completely accidental and basically uncontrollable at present. It is impossible to tell in whom and when it will awaken. Martial arts training has a certain inevitability, although it also emphasizes personal posture, roots and talent, but as long as you are willing to work hard to cultivate, you still have a certain degree of success. And no matter who practices it, even if it can't achieve ultimate success, it will still gain something in the process and evolve to a certain extent. From this point of view, martial arts training is more universal.
It's just that, whether it's to strengthen the body and prolong life, or to become stronger and have great force, or the lofty goal of human evolution, most people are still just flies and dogs all day long, and they have no intention of doing this.
Because of the first case of superpowers he encountered, Lin Xu couldn't help but think a lot while performing light skills all the way. I thought about the various contrasts and differences between martial arts and superpowers.
However, although superpowers are magical, and some superpowers may be particularly powerful, and they can be acquired without hard cultivation, Lin Xu is not envious of this. Because what he has taken is a more stable and solid road, and he can go further.
Just like his current martial arts, he is high and high, and his light skills are like flying, and what he doesn't understand is also regarded as a superpower. Before Feng Dong, there was such a misunderstanding.
After Lin Xu rushed to the remote uninhabited alley where he parked, he first changed his clothes on the roof of the building next to the alley, and changed the Skywalker costume on his body back to the original one. Then he jumped down the alley and drove away.
After driving out of the alley, Lin Xu didn't stay outside for long, and returned to the hotel directly.
The car key to Wang Qiankun's sports car, Lin Xu planned to hand it over to Su Zi, and then let Su Zi transfer it to Wang Qiankun. After all, he is leaving tomorrow, and it is impossible to stay and wait for Wang Qiankun. And after Su Zi deliberately misunderstood Wang Qiankun as liking him before he came out, it was even more impossible for him to stay and wait for Wang Qiankun. After this farewell, he will meet indefinitely, and he never plans to see each other again. Otherwise, this misunderstanding will not be solved, and it will be troublesome to see it.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and Lin Xu estimated that Su Zi had already fallen asleep. So after coming back, he didn't bother Su Zi, and planned to wait for the morning after dawn to hand over the car keys to Su Zi for safekeeping.
By the way, he glanced at Su Zi's door, he turned around and opened his door, put down his things, took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then set the alarm clock and went to bed.
