"What's that Heap?" Xia Lian asked.

"According to the information obtained from this database, his research project is to upload human consciousness to a computer and upgrade the human life form.

It is a first-class project in this research base, and the authority is very large. ”

"It's the exact opposite of Helios." Xia Lian muttered in a low voice, "It seems that there are quite a few people in the top echelons of the new federation who want to live forever." ”

Nowadays, technology has been very advanced, and if there is a problem with the organs of the body, you can use cloning technology to clone the organs or replace all the organs with mechanical ascension.

Or, like Imperial, the injection of micro and nano technology for real-time organ repair and enhancement of organ function, so that people can always keep their bodies in the same state as they were when they were injected before they die.

But even so, people can't really live forever, the brain is something that can't be easily replaced, and even if the brain has the longest lifespan of all organs, the limit is only 200 years.

Two hundred years old is the limit for most people.

According to the secret history that Xia Lian knew from his father, mankind had eternal life at some point in the past.

On a certain planet, they discovered a special aquatic organism whose cell tissue can be regenerated almost infinitely.

Through biotechnology, people extracted this infinitely regenerative gene, and succeeded in making the elixir of immortality.

Moreover, the number of that creature is very large, so this elixir of immortality is very cheap and can be enjoyed by almost everyone.

The problem was that productivity at that time was not to the point where eternal life was allowed, and later, as the number of eternal lives grew, many social problems followed.

The older people get, the harder it is to accept new things, and the technology of civilization has fallen into a huge stagnation.

And the most fatal thing is the birth rate and employment rate.

When technology comes to a standstill, the growth of jobs naturally comes to a standstill, and the original jobs are difficult to replace because people have gained immortality, and there are almost no employment opportunities for those born later.

It is also because human beings have achieved eternal life, people no longer need children to support their old age, coupled with many problems such as the difficulty of future employment of newborns, the fertility rate has almost dropped to zero.

But one cannot work in the workplace forever, and after gaining eternal life, people will have more time to accumulate wealth.

When their wealth accumulation is completed, they naturally do not go to work, and the fertility rate has been zero for a long time, and it is difficult for people to find new people to take over these jobs, which is a catastrophe for a society that has not yet been fully intelligent.

At the same time, there are also some people who are confused and afraid of living too long, and the suicide rate is skyrocketing.

A vicious circle emerged in the society of the time, almost endangering the continuation of the entire human society.

People have tried many methods, such as making people euthanasia at the age of 100, and government control of birth and work.

But in the end, this repression led to a civil war that ended with the planet producing the Elixir of Immortality being burned to glass.

People lost their eternal life.

But in fact, according to his father, the elixir of immortality was not really immortal, and those who were originally injected with the elixir of immortality also died of cancer in their organs after living for more than a thousand years.

"No wonder there are no homeless people here, they are used as consumables." Xia Lian continued.

"Limited to the brain." "The corpse was made into minced meat and fed to the rest of the homeless, and it was called a good name for recycling, so he had a good reputation among the homeless." ”

Xia Lian in the voice was silent for a long time, and after a moment, she heard Xia Lian take a deep breath.

"Mercury, sometimes, you really have to feel the bottom line of human nature."

Mercury seemed to sense the depression in Xia Lian's words, and she opened her mouth to say something, but the next moment.

"Boom!"

A cannon of light slammed into her body from afar, knocking her several meters away, and the mercury flipped in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

Her right back was melted by the heat, making a sizzling sound, but soon the micro-nanos filled the wound.

Mercury's wide-area radar was turned on to its maximum at this moment, and in her radar map, dozens of red dots loomed, surrounding her.

In the darkness of the alleyway in the distance, Hype walked out slowly.

"It seems, I guessed correctly, that it can only be the technology of the Empire to break through our firewall so easily.

Your neural integration technology has similar capabilities to artificial intelligence, and I've been hungry for a long time..."

His voice sounded uncomfortable as it mixed with grit, and Hype looked at Mercury's face with fanaticism and possessiveness in his eyes.

In the darkness around them, dozens of men and women who looked the same, wearing black tights and sunglasses, slowly approached.

"Let me introduce you, their name is Guardians, and they're our transhuman technology." Haipu put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

It's as if mercury is already a turtle in their urn.

"However, they don't have brains, and the last weakness of humanity has been completely overcome by me!" Hype shouted frantically.

And as his words fell, the guardians around him also acted at this moment, and they raised their weapons and prepared to attack Mercury together.

But Haipp shouted anxiously on the side, "Don't use that, don't destroy my sample!" ”

Hearing this, the rest of the Guardians withdrew their guns and rushed straight towards the mercury.

Mercury didn't hesitate to pull out the gravitational rod, and the rod turned into a halo floating above her head, like an angelic halo.

At the same time, she simultaneously turned on the overclocking mode, the white short hair particles flowed, the overclocking mode can not only increase her base value, her main function is to overclock her brain, so that her brain processing speed doubles.

In her eyes, all the movements around her slowed down at this moment, like bullet time.

With the help of the gravitational manipulation device above her head, she reduced her gravitational pull and jumped high from the ground, and at the same time, she raised her hand, and her arm began to deform, turning into a giant gun, and the muzzle of the cannon condensed with light, the next moment.

"Boom!"

The ground shook from top to bottom with a huge flame that sounded like a pop falling.

When the flames cleared, a huge crater was blasted out of the ground, but the guardians were guarded by the light shield, and they did not move.

That's a technique similar to Helios Field.

And at the moment, mercury does not have a Helios field.

The next moment, the Guardians appeared around the mercury, and at the same time, a repulsive force spread from the center of the mercury to the surrounding area, bouncing them away.

Mercury tried to evacuate, but the Guardians chased after them, and the cannons shot out of their mouths and bombarded Mercury's open gravitational shield.

These light cannons were deflected by the gravitational shield, but as the bombardment of these light cannons ended, a bolt of lightning shattered the air, bombarded the gravitational shield, penetrated the gravitational shield, and bombarded the mercury solidly.

This is also the reason why the deflection shield was eventually eliminated, it has a conductive medium, so it will be penetrated by an electric spear.

The thunder and lightning of the high volts destroyed the body of the mercury, and her eyes went black and she fell to the ground, but was caught by the Mithril who rushed in.

Seeing the second transformer appear in the venue, the person named Hype was even more excited.

"The second material."

Mercury quickly regained consciousness, and she used a miniature nano to separate a USB flash drive, handed it to Mithril, and whispered.

"Take Your Highness and leave."

Mithril took the USB flash drive, transforming people is not an emotional person, and her brain quickly parsed the current situation.

The two of them can indeed fight these guardians for a while together, and the Principality of Helios' transhuman technology is superior to that of the New Federation.

But as time drags on, the enemy's support will increase, and there is no point in continuing to fight.

After confirming this, Mithril glanced at Mercury and turned away without any hesitation.

"Don't let her run!" Haipu said excitedly.

The dozens of Guardians immediately flew up and chased after them, ready to stop Mithril, but the next moment.

"Boom!"

The terrifying gravitational field pressed them directly to the ground, and the concrete floor cracked.

The mercury's hair was flying, the particle flow was becoming more and more vigorous, and the gravitational field spread hundreds of meters in a radius, and everyone could not move.

"Mercury." Xia Lian's voice sounded in Mercury's mind.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Mercury said calmly, "I may not be able to accompany you on the next road, I should have listened to you just now, and I shouldn't have made any extraneous branches."

Now, it's time to pay for my stupidity. ”
