44. The problem of immortality

Regarding the topic of whether Bai Jinfeng is becoming more and more lively, Yi Feng didn't say much, he turned the topic back to the two books.

"I don't know if I should say it......" Yi Feng glanced at the live camera.

The mobile phone that Bai Jinfeng used for live broadcast was not a single person at this time, but was steadily suspended in the air next to the two, making the two seem to be doing a dialogue show.

"If you haven't seen it in the live broadcast room, I recommend these two science fiction novels, "Supporting God" and "The Ruins of Time". What I'm going to say next may involve spoilers, so you can quit and leave it unheard. ”

After explaining these two sentences, Yi Feng didn't care about the live broadcast room anymore, and turned back to look at Bai Jinfeng: "Sister Bai, do you want to take a look at the original work first?" ”

Bai Jinfeng shook his head unexpectedly, Yi Feng sorted out his memory, he actually didn't remember much about the details.

"Yifeng, have you noticed any changes in you lately?" Bai Jinfeng suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Yi Feng's train of thought: "On the same trip, I may have become a little more lively, which is a good thing." And you seem to ...... It can't be said that it has become old-fashioned......"

Bai Jinfeng unconsciously pointed his finger at his lips and thought for a moment: "You seem to be very tired." ”

Yi Feng nodded happily and admitted, "It's a little tired, I know, and I know what's going on." It's simple: I haven't slept lately. ”

Although the immortal body is so powerful that people don't need to sleep to maintain their energy, Yifeng, who suddenly obtained the immortal body, can't adjust his mentality well.

This kind of thing is not something that can be overcome by knowing the cause, it is caused by his living habits for more than 20 years.

Energetic, but not adapted to this continuous prolonged wakefulness.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same problem as them."

Yi Feng pointed to the three tellers:

"In "The Ruins of Time", after thousands of years of human existence, many people are just stupid. And in "Supporting God", although it is not so stupid, human beings have forgotten the technology of their ancestors.

Human beings themselves are a short-lived species, and after the transformation into a long-lived species, there will be various problems.

Their brains, the capacity is just that, maybe a normal person can use it for a lifetime, but they have lived for tens of thousands of years, and their memories will definitely be missing. It is estimated that in their memories, they have forgotten even the events of a thousand years ago.

I guess they did it through genetic technology, and they still need to eat, drink, and sleep.

Another situation of becoming an immortal seed is cultivating the truth. In the process of cultivating the truth, there will be a lot of 'heart refining' links, which is one of the reasons why those immortals have not become stupid. Another reason is probably that the brain capacity of the gods is enough to support them to maintain their memories for a long time.

Well, it's not absolute, in the world of Qiqi, the immortals will also wear out because of time.

And my situation is a little special, I suddenly obtained the immortal body, probably not like them. But at first, the subconscious thought that I needed to sleep, but the conscious knew that I didn't, and my body had enough energy.

I and they are both problems caused by the transition from short-lived to long-lived species, although the form of the problem is different, but, well......"

When Yi Feng said this, he suddenly stopped, then smiled and said, "It seems that I really need to sleep, fortunately, there is a spell in the elixir I eat, which can make me fall asleep quickly, otherwise it may be really troublesome......"

Before he finished speaking, Yi Feng suddenly disappeared and entered the horn space.

"Qiqi, I can sleep, when you don't want to learn, play by yourself or go out to find Sister Bai." Yi Feng explained to Qiqi, ran to a distance and locked himself in the tent, and fell asleep.

Bai Jinfeng watched Yi Feng suddenly go to sleep, and couldn't help but feel a little crying and laughing.

She didn't need to sleep.

Unlike Bai Jinfeng, she had already passed her cultivation and reached the point where she didn't need to sleep for a long time.

When she was sealed before, she would fall asleep when she had nothing to do, but that didn't affect her conscious and conscious that she didn't need to sleep.

"Friends in the live broadcast room, when Yi Feng wakes up, I will tell him the story of this world, if you want to hear it now, I can also tell it first."

The people in the live broadcast room were divided into three factions at this time, one was to listen to stories, the other was to let Bai Jinfeng sing and chat, and wait for Yi Feng to wake up before talking, and the other group let Bai Jinfeng decide for himself what to broadcast and watch.

"Then I'll sing a song first!" Bai Jinfeng didn't really want to say one thing a few times, so he took out the piano and played it in the empty library.

The melodious sound of the piano was heard far away, adding a touch of color to this lifeless world.

The beauty of rhythm is to the sense of hearing what the beauty of color is to sight. If the world before was like the Gobi Desert in black and white tones, the sound of the piano is like a rainbow blooming on the Gobi.

In some films, the director will deliberately use black and white tones to express the gloom of the protagonist's heart, and when the protagonist meets the person who makes his heart flutter, the color will spread from that point and envelop the vision.

If Yi Feng, who had just observed this world for a long time, was here, he might have been soothed in his heart.

It's a pity that the current audience is only those immortal mortals who are like walking corpses.

They don't live forever, it's just that the length of their life is enough to consume their minds.

Bai Jinfeng didn't want to bring changes to the world through his music, so he didn't have any loss about this situation.

However, the change still appeared, although only a small part, like a pebble thrown into a river, for the river as a whole, there will only be a momentary ripple, and it will not change its direction.

The musical stone struck a passing local resident outside the window.

It was a relatively young woman, who looked no different from everyone else, clean and tidy, and insensitive.

The woman walked past the window, stopped, and glanced inside.

That afternoon, a job in the city was missing an employee. It's just that it didn't make any difference because no one cared.

The woman is not "woken up", she is just attracted to the music, and then listens blankly, squats down when she is tired of standing, and sits on the ground when she is tired.

At dusk, when Yi Feng came out of the horn space, he immediately noticed the situation, and he tried to talk to the woman, but only got a glimpse of the woman.

The woman didn't mean to ignore him, she just didn't know how to deal with the questions that Yi Feng asked that were out of her life's trajectory.

Yi Feng could only give up helplessly, walked back to the table and sat down, did not disturb Bai Jinfeng, just sat quietly.

After a good night's sleep, he didn't get more lively, but felt quieter.

It's even a little melancholy.

Yi Feng leaned his head on the table, thinking to himself if he had gone to bed early, and should wait until the evening to sleep. When I woke up at this time, I always felt a sense of jet lag.

Bai Jinfeng stopped after playing the current song, and the woman outside the window did not leave. Bai Jinfeng couldn't have been playing the piano all afternoon, and he had stopped many times in the middle, but the woman had stayed there all the time.

"Sister Bai, should we call Xiao Fu and Xiao Li over to listen to you tell you the story of this world?"

Bai Jinfeng shook his head and said, "Actually, I have already told them in private. ”

"Oh, tell me again now! I can imagine them becoming what they are because of their immortality, but I still can't figure out why the world is so obsessed with six-pointed stars. ”

Yi Feng remembers his first curiosity about the world.

Bai Jinfeng said: "Actually, this question is not important at all, it is just a somewhat ridiculous accident."

The situation here is similar to what you said, humans have cultivated immortal species through genetic technology. In the beginning, society was relatively normal.

As time went on, there were more and more problems, and at that time memory problems had not yet appeared, and one of the first problems that came up was that people no longer had offspring. ”

Yi Feng nodded, this is easy to think, an important reason for human beings to give birth to offspring is to rely on old age.

These people can live for more than 10,000 years, and this need becomes less urgent, even if they want to give birth, they have to wait for thousands of years old, they will be born early, and when they are old, their children will also be old.

In terms of 10,000 years of age, the difference between tens and hundreds of years is almost negligible.

And to the millennium...... It is estimated that these people are close to their current state, and the idea of having offspring is gone.

At first, this is not completely without benefits, and the population will not swell to the point of uncontrollable. They are all immortal, there is no natural death, only natural birth, and the population will accumulate to the point where resources are completely insufficient.

Bai Jinfeng continued: "The second problem is that although everyone has learned a lot of knowledge, as they get older, even if they are still young, they still lose their ability to innovate.

The development of science and technology slowly stagnated, and finally only horizontal development remained, and on the basis of existing scientific theories, it was developed into practical technology as much as possible, until horizontal development also stagnated. ”

"Wait, if that's the case, they should be aware of the problem, so that someone will have a baby out of social responsibility, right?"

"Yes, some people did do it, but it didn't work." Bai Jinfeng nodded: "Because everyone has already finished school, the education industry has disappeared long before this.

Newborns can only rely on their parents' education, coupled with the solidification of society to the point of unbelievable, everyone has their own position, will not retire, and it is difficult for them to even insert into the operation of society.

Of course, even so, in the first 1,000 years or 2,000, there were still people who would have offspring, and the number of them became smaller and smaller, until they did not have children at all. ”

"Hmm, that's why we can see those middle-aged people, right?"

Bai Jinfeng shook his head and said, "Part of it is yes, and the other part is due to the difference in the practical application of gene technology, some people have a longer lifespan.

When the first immortals were more than a thousand years old, many people began to forget many things, and the part about knowledge was the hardest hit area.

The memories that people leave are mainly the ones they use now, the parts before they are in their twenties, and the parts that are impressive and touch a certain emotion.

It was after hundreds of years of this situation that there was one last great change in society, a change that had no practical use, and it was this change that led to the current six-pointed star layout. ”

Bai Jinfeng said this, stopped, turned his head to look out the window, and Yi Feng also cast his gaze.

I saw the woman who was listening to music there standing in front of the window and took the initiative to speak.

"Singing? Don't sing it anymore? ”

The woman still looked calm, but Yi Feng became a little excited, and immediately replied, "Sing!" Of course sing! ”
