Chapter XXVII
The ice chamber was chiseled open, and although the temperature was low enough, most of the biological samples were still rotten to the point where it was impossible to see what they were. In the innermost deformed metal cabinet, Estrid unlocked the code of the cabinet and found two bottles of intact genetic potions. No. 104, Retinal Alienation, No. 111, Skin Modification.
"Drink it, Brian. The girl handed the bottle to the viscount, "Only if you drink it, there will be no rejection, it will become stronger and stronger." ”
Brian, who possessed genes 116 and 97, knew that the potion would give him renewed abilities, but after drinking it, he didn't feel any noticeable changes in himself.
"This base, which was built very hastily, was converted from an underground arsenal, and only ten auxiliary supergene proteins were studied. "Now there are three that you have absorbed, and the remaining seven, due to the age of the earth's crustal movements, may be absorbed by other creatures, and we must find them." There are a total of 120 genetic proteins in the nine bases, and you had better absorb them all before you can compete with St. Ossibine. ”
"So I'm going to visit the other bases, or ruins?" Brian concluded.
"Yes, that will be your mission in the future. ”
Dunbar said: "But don't be in a hurry, as we can see, some of the potions have been lost, creating powerful life, and these lives are all moving around the ruins, I think Brian can't explore the ruins without level seven." ”
Brian nodded, obviously he couldn't even beat the centipede man, this matter can only be discussed in the long run, and it can't be done overnight.
Back in the dwarven village, Estrid suddenly remembered the entire content of "Estrid's Notes" and translated it.
"Now that I think about it, how ignorant and ridiculous our excitement and anticipation are! The whole world has finally come to the brink of destruction with our efforts, and it may not last for three months, and the beautiful Tula Star is only dust and storms, and there is no longer a trace of life!
I don't know if my record is meaningful, deep underground, until it dies out completely, maybe it is, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years from now, it may be possible to come back to life, intelligent life will be born again, and they will remember our lesson!
Unfortunately, no one's mind can remain calm, and the rapid changes brought about by technology have made everyone swell and eventually try to completely reinvent themselves. Professor Hughis Fergus believes that the time is ripe for the development of supergenes, and that the Ronin will no longer be the Lonin of the past, and that they will be able to do anything!
In the future, we will be disease-free, live long, our physical and mental abilities will be strengthened several times, we will be able to survive in an oxygen-free environment, draw energy from our skin, and say goodbye to the traditional life of eating and sleeping every day. The most incredible thing is that after the supergene is further optimized, our descendants can even use their minds to mobilize the huge energy in the space and transform the surrounding material composition at will, and we will almost become the protagonists of mythological stories!
The St. Ossitine Project has finally been implemented through repeated research. In this way, under the leadership of Hughis, as his assistant, I spent sixteen years in the Supergene Testing Center, and my youth was all dedicated to experiments and research, and we, a huge team of 1,300 people, were ready to create St. Ossibine, the perfect all-powerful life form! If this sample succeeded, then everyone would be as powerful as a god, and the age of god-making was just around the corner.
The great taunt finally came, and it turned out that we were not realizing an exciting future, but digging a grave! The research center has become not only the graveyard of Hughes, but also the graveyard of 1,300 of us, and more importantly, it has become the grave of the entire universe! Now I can only hide in the ground for a thousand meters, not daring to activate any electrical facilities, and write this warning with an oil lamp and a pen - never! Never touch your uncontrollable realm, which is the forbidden land of science and technology!
I don't know how long it will last?St. Ossidine is already omnipotent, and if it weren't for us hiding in the depths, it could even find us and manipulate it through the faint brain waves emitted by the Lorin.
Therefore, we did not dare to use any machine that emitted electromagnetic waves, and we tasted this primitive and bitter taste, feeling that it was difficult to breathe, and our hearts were tightening little by little, and maybe in a few weeks, all the life in the ground would be suffocated and mixed with the earth.
At the moment when he first sensed that St. Ossidine was out of control, Hughis believed that he could use the time he had to create a supergenetic life that was more powerful than Ossedin in order to deal with it. The wise man is also confused at this time, we can't even control St. Ossidine, more powerful, will it listen to the command of humans?
Despite this, we made a last-ditch effort and set up nine bases on the Tula Star to find a way to deal with St. Osidine, but it was too late!
When St. Ossidine was still an embryo, he used his super mind to understand what he was. It has been deceiving us, in the growth stage, it controls its body, making it appear sluggish and vulnerable, and we really think that the problem of multiple supergenes being combined and mutually exclusive has not been completely solved, and that St. Ossedine is not strong yet, it is a failed sample.
St. Ossidine has been drawing on the energy of the environment, and when it shows its autonomous mind and super destructive power, no facilities or weapons can stop it, and our next countermeasures are all expected by it. Mankind did create God, but this God does not love man!
All efforts failed, and each test sample had a self-destructive gene segment, but St. Ossidine used its intelligence to identify it and modify it, and nothing could deal with it. When particle weapons, biological and chemical weapons, light wave weapons and nuclear weapons are all mobilized, in the blink of an eye, there is no more scenery in the world, no more sunlight, no more food and water sources, and organic life is dying out in geometric multiples!
Fortunately, Osidine is greedy, it has the fundamental characteristics of "human", it is not satisfied with the status quo, it will try to be stronger, but only if this requires more energy to achieve. When the energy of the planet Tula is depleted, if it cannot break through the shackles of space and cross elsewhere, St. Ossidine will not be able to support it, and at that moment, the once vibrant blue planet will soon turn gray - a real dead silence!
It turns out that the terminal of prosperity is dead silence!
There is still one last bit of time, and I am not in the mood to remember the unforgettable spring, what we can do is to collect and preserve the genes of each species as much as possible, and wait for the planet to recover itself. How amazing the universe is, it is always in a constant self-equilibrium and self-regulation, albeit slowly, and we believe that maybe, in 100,000 years, 300,000 years, or a million years, the atmospheres of some planets will finally stabilize, the storms will always subside, and organic life will emerge at the right time.
The earth's crust always moves, and at that moment, these genes that we have preserved have the opportunity to combine with the newborn organism and evolve to form similar species. If, millions of years later, humans reappear on the planet Tula, they will retain an extremely vague memory of our civilization, which will give us some comfort and make up for our mistakes.
I only hope that the intelligent life of the future will not perpetuate our false ......"
After reading the translated notes, Dunbar sighed: "It turns out that even the most powerful god has not existed since ancient times, but was created by civilization, but unfortunately he destroyed civilization. ”
