511 People Inside Want to Come Out, People Outside Want to Go Back
Tens of billions of years?
This initially startled Jiang Xingchen.
What is the concept of tens of billions of years?
You know, according to current research, the universe where Jiang Xingchen lives is only over 10 billion years old.
Before the two conversations, the time this guy spent could almost complete the course of his own universe?
What an exaggeration!
"Why, does it feel exaggerated?"
"In the past, when humans did not master genetic enhancement, their life span was only a hundred years, but a few decades was already a very long time."
"Now, according to your federation's own standards, you have reached the sixth level of genetic enhancement. So how do you feel about the decades now?"
Hearing this question, Jiang Xingchen fell silent.
Indeed, in the past fifty years, I have not had any great feelings, and I do not feel that it has been a long time.
so...
"It seems that you should understand that for me, who has eternal life, tens of billions of years don't mean much."
Lin Fan said after seeing Jiang Xingchen's expression.
"Okay, I won't discuss these questions any further. We don't have much time, so you can start asking!"
"Okay, let's continue the topic from last time. Where...is this place?"
"Here, don't you already have a guess in your mind? I can tell you that your guess... is correct!"
boom...
Lin Fan's words were like thunder, exploding in Jiang Xingchen's mind instantly.
Yes, he had already made speculations since the last conversation.
I just didn't expect that this guess was correct?
but...
Is this answer a little too scary?
Such a powerful civilization is within one's own body?
"As I said last time, the civilization I live in has experienced countless transcendences, and the whole process is like a matryoshka doll, with no end in sight!"
"Yes, and you also said that the so-called savior gene in me is something you created in order to achieve complete transcendence."
"Well, that's right, but have you ever thought about how you can achieve complete detachment when faced with an infinite matryoshka-like situation?"
"this..."
Jiang Xingchen has indeed thought about this issue, and has been thinking about it for nearly a hundred years.
But unfortunately, there is still no answer!
According to Lin Fan, the existence of human beings is like germs to the entire black cavity space. For the health of the subject, germs must be eliminated and eliminated.
Therefore, the Sweeper appeared in the universe where Lin Fan originally lived.
After that, they defeated the Sweepers, but that didn't mean that the black space would tolerate the existence of humans from now on.
No, it won't!
Next time, the black cavity space will produce more powerful sweepers, and there will never be an end.
Until one day, human beings are completely erased from the black cavity space.
Therefore, Lin Fan and the others chose to detach themselves and evacuate from that black space.
But it is a pity that after escaping from the black cavity space, it was discovered that they were really just germs.
The so-called detachment is only the separation from the biological individual.
It's like the germs left the body and came into the air.
But here, there is still a universe, they are still germs, and everything is not over yet!
Afterwards, I experienced detachment again and again, just like a black cavity space within a black cavity space, without any meaning.
In order to deal with this situation, the savior gene was born...
However, Jiang Xingchen still hasn't figured out how the so-called savior gene can allow Lin Fan and the others to achieve true transcendence.
"You don't understand, do you? In fact, you can think about it from another angle, why does our civilization need to transcend?"
"Because after defeating the Sweepers, the black cavity space used more powerful methods, so powerful that even you can't resist?"
Jiang Xingchen asked, recalling what Lin Fan said for the first time decades ago.
"Yes, a more powerful method!"
"It's like a person is sick and takes some medicine, but obviously those medicines are not able to eliminate the germs in the body."
"Taking medicine doesn't work, so what should I do?"
"So, he ran to the hospital, and then the doctor gave him a shot!"
"Okay, maybe we can defeat the Sweepers, but you can't imagine that back then we faced the scene where the entire black cavity space was swallowed up bit by bit by a strange and irresistible force."
"We have no choice but to transcend!"
(This connects to the ending of the previous book.)
"But just like what was said at the beginning, after repeated detachment countless times, we found..."
"There is no such thing as true detachment!"
"To put it figuratively, it's like there is a black cavity space in a human body. Within this black cavity space, there are countless universes and countless living things, and each living creature has a black cavity space."
"One after another, there is no end. We think we have transcended, but in fact we have just entered another cage. In the new cage, we are still lambs to be slaughtered. In the end, we can only choose to transcend again."
"Once this process starts, it cannot be stopped."
"Subsequently, our scientists came up with a theory..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen knew that the important point was coming.
Immediately, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully.
"Since we can never transcend, why not transform ourselves into a beneficial existence for this black cavity."
"After all, the reason why we choose to transcend is because for every black cavity, we are germs that have to be eliminated?"
"But once we are no longer germs, but are beneficial to the black cavity, then the black cavity will naturally not want to eliminate us."
"In this case, do we still need to transcend?"
Boy, this theory is awesome.
Jiang Xingchen's expression was very strange.
What is this...
At this moment, a germ in my body is trying its best to turn it into a substance that is beneficial to me in order to survive?
There is a saying mmp that I don’t know if I should say it right?
However, although he understood Lin Fan's motives, there was another problem that still puzzled Jiang Xingchen.
"But, even if you can do this, what should I do?"
"According to what you said, no matter which black cavity space we are in, human beings are like germs. Then, the black cavity space I am in will one day be eliminated because of this?"
"And if I am eliminated, won't you all be finished with me too?"
Indeed, you are a germ, and I am also a germ.
Where you were once, the black space wanted to get rid of these germs like you.
And now where I am, doesn't the black consciousness want to get rid of itself sooner or later?
Then, the problem comes.
If I die...
Can you still live in my body?
"So, this is the true meaning of the existence of the savior gene!"
After hearing Jiang Xingchen's question, Lin Fan said with a smile!
