Chapter 400: We're Too Old
The instinct of life is to reproduce, to let life continue from generation to generation!
It is hard to imagine that when civilization has developed to a certain extent, some people will even choose to end their lives because they have lived enough and are too boring.
It's against instinct, but it's just the way it is.
According to Yang Hongtian, 10,000 years ago they still had 3 billion people, and now they still have 2 billion people. So how many people will be there in 10,000 years?
Maybe...... Only Tang Ying was left.
At that time, Tang Ying was like the only living person on a grave planet, and he arrived in the solar system alone.
"Earth?" Tang Ying heard Yang Hongtian call this planet "Earth".
"That's right! Haven't you studied history? Yang Hongtian glanced at Tang Ying and said, "Although my thinking has degenerated, I can't even solve the binary equation. But I remember our history! ”
"That was a long time ago. How long is it? Probably 100 million years ago, a billion years ago, or even more? I don't remember either. At that time, our ancestors wanted to conquer the sea of stars, so they transformed the planet into what it is now! ”
"The process of conquering the cosmic sea of stars is quite smooth, there are strange things in the universe, but only the 'Ancient Saints' and 'Star Gods' have caused us trouble."
"No way, we're too strong! The emergence of heat death weapons and collapse bombs puts us in absolute fire suppression. Oh, and there are dimensionality reduction weapons, which once turned one-third of the universe into a two-dimensional spiritual world. ”
"Later, we discovered the grand unification model of the universe, and the entire universe no longer has any opponents to compete with us, and the ancestors at that time can be described as high-spirited, so they are ready to make a multiverse ......."
Yang Hongtian said nagged, as if an old man saw the nagging of a junior who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but he also had a limited level, and some things were said in a jumping process.
Even so, quite a bit of information is revealed.
How come the Ancient Saint and the Star God sound familiar...... It can't be that world, right?
This familiar sense of abstraction makes Tang Ying feel that the taste is right!
"After the model of the multiverse was made, some of them went to another universe. It was an empty universe, and some people were keen to build a new universe from scratch, while others were returning to our universe. ”
"Later, after a long time, few people in society had children. We feel that we can live forever, everyone represents civilization, and there is no need to reproduce at all! ”
"We have overcome the instinct of life!"
"But there is no victory over curiosity, curiosity about death!"
"I see!" Tang Ying interrupted Yang Hongtian's words and said, "Later, you want to return to the solar system? ”
"It's not you, it's us!" Yang Hongtian said: "That day, someone proposed, if one day we are all gone, why not return to the solar system? ”
"It's an interesting proposition, we're leaving the solar system and back in the solar system!"
"Everyone agreed with this decision, so some people cheered up and began to study the route!"
"That's when we found out. In the time of high intelligence, our thinking has been solidified, and there is nothing innovative. Our ability to calculate and logic is also declining, and we can't even solve binary equations. Yang Hongtian said a little lonely:
"When I was young, I was a soldier, and I drove the battleship Luan Niao in the depths of the universe. But now I can only laugh at the hand-tearing devil. ”
"We ...... It's so old! ”
"You can make your body younger, your brain younger." Tang Ying said.
"That won't work, we've tried. Our minds are like old stones, completely solidified. Unless we choose to be conscious uploaded. Yang Hongtian said: "But that's just another kind of death." ”
"No wonder it has been said that eternal life is eternal death!"
Tang Ying didn't know what to say, he had never faced such a person and such a civilization.
They don't have to worry about food or clothing, they can do what they want to do, and the result is ...... but waiting to die.
It's just that they have experienced everything, but not death.
"With our technology, we should be able to reach the solar system soon, right?" Tang Ying asked.
"The universe is big, big! There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, and the solar system is just the most ordinary one. But even the Milky Way is not a drop in the ocean in the universe. ”
"Where we are now, we're very far away from the Milky Way, so far away that it's billions of light-years away. But it still doesn't bother us, using the soap ship of the spiritual space, our spaceship only needs ten years to reach the solar system. ”
"But we want the Earth to return to the solar system. So it's a long time, even if the sub-light speed plus the wormhole wants to travel through 82 billion light years, it will take about 20,000 years. ”
The distance of 82 billion light years is to fly at the speed of light, and it will also fly 82 billion light years! And the birth of the universe is only about 13.8 billion years old!
Tang Ying knows how big the universe is, if the universe is compared to a desert, then the Milky Way is just a piece of sand. If the Milky Way is also compared to a desert, the solar system is just a piece of sand.
It is hard to imagine that there is really a civilization that can conquer the universe and reach anywhere in the universe, and even have a model of the great unity of the universe.
Such a civilization can even allow a planet to fly in the universe at sub-light speeds, and the people inside the planet do not feel the sub-light speed of flight at all.
Incredible, incomprehensible technology.
"So...... Is there still 10,000 years to sail away? Tang Ying asked.
"Yes, 10,000 years to go!"
"Do you think you'll survive that time?" Tang Ying asked again.
"I don't know...... Yang Hongtian was silent and said, "Maybe it's possible, maybe it's impossible?" ”
"Why not hibernate and rest? As long as you sleep, maybe you will return to your hometown in 10,000 years. ”
"I've thought about it, but I don't think it makes sense. I was born on this planet, which is my home, and there is no difference between being in the solar system and being in a network of galaxies. ”
"That ......"
Tang Ying was about to say more, but was interrupted by Yang Hongtian, he yawned and said, "I'm tired, I want to sleep, let's go back and talk!" ”
With his words, there are naturally intelligent robots that change the surrounding weather, so that when Yang Hongtian sleeps, he can enjoy the majesty of nature, and at the same time, he will not get cold. It also shielded the sun's rays from the sun's dazzling rays, making him sleep uncomfortably.
He is like a god, as long as he gives orders, everything can be done according to his ideas.
No wonder, he was not interested in anything.
