Sherlock had just walked out of the restaurant door when he was immediately in place.

Then use a method that can only be used with "??? He looked at Lilith beside him.

He thought about hell for many, many reasons, including environmental factors, virus erosion, species evolution, global experiment failures, and so on.

But he never thought that it would be the reason why 'the sun has blown up' so frustrating.

The sun has exploded, so how can the earth still exist?

Lilith obviously guessed that Sherlock would react in this way, so she motioned to him not to block the door of the restaurant, and the waiter inside called the police after a while.

The two walked side by side, passers-by walking by, and they didn't pay attention to what they were saying.

"When I say explosion, it's not like a bomb, it explodes with a bang. After all, in a way, the sun is actually exploding all the time.

I mean, the nuclear fusion on the sun, which never stops, suddenly starts to get more intense one day.

It may not sound so scary, so let me put it another way.

It is that the sun of this world suddenly dies one day, and the process of this death is calculated, about 400 million years, and this sun is very capricious, ready to use 400 million time to release all its fusion energy of more than 5 billion years.

Obviously, the heat, electromagnetic radiation, and particle streams emitted during this period are enough to destroy all life on Earth. ”

When passing by a small stall, Lilith bought a box of cigarettes, and Sherlock knowingly asked, is there a brand called "Blues"? Of course, the answer was no, so I casually asked Lilith to buy a box, and then I was embarrassed to ask for one.

"Uh————"

Cigarettes into the lungs, although not very enjoyable, but for an old smoker who has not smoked for a long time, this puff is still very comfortable.

Lilith beside her also lit one and continued:

"Didn't you ask before, when is it?

At that time, in order not to make you think that the time span was too large, I said that it is now 2027 AD, but you should also know by this time, I am lying.

Actually, the present time is 2479 A.D.

This is the earth, the Antarctic continent, the last gathering place of human beings. Because of the thawing permafrost, this is one of the few water storage areas on the planet at this stage, and in other places, it has long since dried up completely. ”

Hearing this, Sherlock smoked a little more slowly, and he thought of what he had seen when he wandered around in that barren and bloody London, and sure enough, there was no water source, and there was wind and sand everywhere, scorching air waves, and no vegetation.

"But if you say so, in fact, in the first few years of the sun's life decay, the earth should be scorched, right?" Sherlock couldn't help but ask.

"It stands to reason that this is true, but the decay of the sun is progressive, and in the first few years, the heat and electromagnetic waves it releases do not increase significantly.

This should be considered a good phenomenon, because it avoids the tragic situation of human beings suddenly facing a huge environmental change and thus becoming extinct all at once.

But at the same time, this phenomenon also leads to the fact that we do not recognize the dire effects of radiation and particle streams on species and the environment on Earth in the first place.

None of the instruments detected this change.

Until the things that are wrong can be easily identified by the naked eye, for example, the glasses of a domestic pet dog start to turn green and have two pupils, they will be completely blind when they open their eyes and see the first rays of light, and they will not see anything for the rest of their lives.

The cattle and sheep in the feedlot howled all night, and the straight throat shouted, and the ulcers in the lungs would never stop, so they tired themselves to death little by little, and the flying insects in the sky began to fall, flies, mosquitoes, ladybugs, moths, crackling, sometimes all over the ground overnight, a thick layer, and then birds, and the cases of birds smashing people to death during that time would appear every once in a while.

At this time, people finally realized that something was wrong, and the experts were still studying whether a certain part of the ecosystem had been corrupted, so that the things around them lost their delicate balance. Then soon it started to rain no more, there were no clouds, the sky was clear, and people were looking at the blue sky. Probably never before in the history of mankind has there been such a fear of sunny days. ”

Lilith said, her tone was very calm, it may be that over the years, the human beings in this world have experienced too much suffering, and even the newborn children just feel that this world should be like this, only those recorded in historical documents can slightly realize that in fact, the original world is not like this.

And the woman in front of her obviously knows this history very well, she actually didn't talk so much along the way, but when she talked about it, she seemed to become a little talkative.

It's just that between the lines, there is a faint unwillingness:

"Do you know what it looks like for a planet's ecology to gradually go to extinction?

The cows no longer produce milk, and their bodies are covered with abscesses, and all that comes out is blood; The dirt starts to turn black, then red.

No vegetation was renewed, flowers, leaves, all withered.

Everything became hopeless and lifeless.

Irreversible changes in genes and environment lead to unpredictable reproduction of species.

The earthworms came out, with barbs and sharp teeth at the tips, devouring each other, biting each other, and finally the remaining one was also strung alive. A fly can become the size of a leather shoe in dozens of iterations, and it will also have wings with bone spurs, even more terrifying compound eyes, and even some insects can simulate the sounds of other animals.

You know, these things were originally the size of a fingernail.

In a few years, more and more fragile species have gone extinct, such as fish, mosses, etc., and now there are no wild individuals to be found, except for rare embryos stored in laboratories; At the same time, more new species are beginning to emerge, and the theory of evolution has begun to crumble, and no one knows what those creatures will be like in a few years.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the time of the sun's explosion, according to inaccurate calculations, should have originally occurred 420 years ago, but it was only after more than ten years of bathing in that abnormal sunlight that we finally realized that something was wrong, and at that time, people just felt that the weather was a little hotter than in previous years. ”

"What about the man?"

"People?"

"Yes, you said that the decline of the sun will lead to changes in species, so what will have the greatest impact on the human species?" Sherlock asked.

He just thought about the question quite naturally, not realizing that it would make Lilith look a little sad.

This grief was not because of herself, but because of herself, but as a human being, despair and helplessness for the future of her race.

"The impact on humanity is that we can't reproduce anymore.

At the very least, we can't reproduce through our own bodies. ”

Sherlock frowned.

Lilith walked forward, puffing on a cigarette softly: "The human womb or the genes carried by it have been completely messed up, and the little baby will be born without legs, arms, or even eyes during that time.

Even if they are born sound and successfully grow into adults, they will have a variety of diseases, such as extreme rickets, which can only curl up into a ball in a few years and stay in bed until old age and death; or unable to breathe continuously, the lungs can only relax 3 times a minute, and it takes decades to slowly suffocate themselves; Some people's ribs grow in the direction of internal organs, and when it hurts, they take the initiative to dig out their bones, and then pull them out along with the organs that penetrate and sprinkle them on the floor.

Humans finally realized that there was something wrong with the sun, but it was the sun, a celestial body, and even if humans found out that something was wrong with it, what else could they do?

The mortality rate in those years was so terrible that the government stopped announcing the mortality rate, no one asked why, the lake began to dry up, a lot of things washed ashore, the bones of babies, the rotting corpses of humans with four or five mouths, the house was not safe, your father's eyes might turn white the next morning, and your mother's teeth turned sharp blades overnight, and he snuck into your sister's room and ate her. The old people would sleepwalk at night, one by one they would walk onto the road and burn their hands with fire, but the next day they could not remember anything.

When pregnant, the child will grow to 70 pounds in a short period of time, and the mother will be blown alive, or when giving birth, the uterus is full of shocking scratches, which are scratched by the baby.

In short, childbearing has become a terrible thing, and people don't reproduce anymore. ”

At this point, Lilith raised her head and looked at the pedestrians around her, her eyes full of decline: "We were all born in artificial embryos.

All the people here, young and old, all of them come from the breeding factory, where we grow up to two years old and then give birth, and if we find defects or mutations in the process, we dispose of them directly, like substandard goods, and in the first experimental varieties, people even have a barcode engraved on the back of their heads to classify them.

And you're the only real human in the world who has ever been exposed to amniotic fluid."

Sherlock was silent, his smoking more and more slowly, and this huge amount of information, accompanied by many questions being answered, would undoubtedly make him feel happy.

Well, if it were a normal situation, of course he would feel pleasure physically and mentally, but at this moment, he was not happy at all, because he was listening to the tragedies of countless races in this world.

In the world where he used to be, people called this place hell, and when Sherlock first came, he found that there were still people here, and he even wondered if there were people here, and he continued to call this place hell, isn't it a bit unauthentic.

But now it sounds like it's more desperate than hell.

And the back of the brain of the first experimental embryo, which will be engraved with a barcode?

Sherlock had never heard of the word "barcode", but it literally meant some kind of code made up of one line at a time.

This reminded him of Nightingale's summoned creatures

Wait, don't go off-topic, first understand the general framework of the world, so that you can continue to understand the details of the problem.

So, Sherlock went on to ask:

"And how did you survive?"

"It's complicated, for the first 100 years, humans went underground as a way to escape the heat and radiation on the surface. At first, it was fine, but gradually, the shadows of high temperatures and particle waves reverberated the soil structure, and the changes in the sea water also caused more and more continental frameworks to be disturbed, and the human settlements began to collapse frequently, which caused the bottom layer to become uninhabitable.

Fortunately, in the past hundred years, we have not been idle.

Humanity's desire to survive has led to an incredible development of our technology during this time, and although it is incredible, we have finally developed a large machine that can extend life on this planet. Well, in fact, it can't be called a machine anymore, it's a miracle creation that condenses the entire human manufacturing industry and almost all the financial, material, human and other resources on this planet.

We

A new sun has been created. ”

“.”

Sherlock exhaled the smoke from his mouth as fast as he could.

He frowned slightly, then tilted his head, he is a human being, although many people say that he has anti-human tendencies, or why he is a mad monster, but he likes human beings, he can perceive the greatness of human beings, tenacity, the wisdom that can be shown in the tribulation, and the miracles that can be created.

But a sun was created???

Isn't that a bit too much of a fuck!

In his original world, being able to communicate remotely, radio, electricity and other new things was already the high-end technology that Sherlock knew, so Lilith couldn't understand that her words were more or less difficult to accept for the [defector] in front of her.

But she didn't care, just continued:

"Over the course of a hundred years or so, we have covered about 160 million square kilometers of solar baffles in the near-Earth zone between the Moon and the Earth by building space transport ladders.

It sounded like a joke, but we did it.

In addition, the artificial sun absorbs sunlight and converts it into solar and thermal energy suitable for the earth's environment, which has persisted for more than 300 years.

We have created a miracle.

But everyone knows that the angle and shadow of the baffle cannot cover the entire earth, that sun cannot hold on forever, it is not a real sun, and it will always have a limit under the huge energy conversion consumption.

fortunately

I don't know if you've ever heard the saying:

Rely on genius in times of adversity.

In a desperate situation, rely on the madman."
