Chu Xiaoming said a lot, but he can sum it up in one sentence.

The "Abundance" plan has been executed perfectly, so all the resources in the camp are now very sufficient. It can even be said that, let alone the five of them, even if there are another 500, the camp will be enough to support a hundred years, or even longer.

"With ample water, ample food, a large number of books and various entertainment facilities, I dare say that this is a resort built on Mars." Chu Xiaoming said with emotion.

Su Wanxia was very silent. He didn't speak and was even a little worried.

Xian Qianhua was happy, "Does that mean that even if we can't return to Earth, we can still live here for the rest of our lives?"

"Yes, Sister Qianhua, and not only us, but our descendants can continue to live here." Chu Xiaoming took out a new report. There were all kinds of data on it, and there were countless, but it looked like

It all comes out green, which means it is sufficient.

"Unless the camp is hit by a meteorite, or a big commotion breaks out inside the camp causing serious damage to the camp's infrastructure, it will remain young forever." There are some flaws in Chu Xiaoming's words, but the meaning is relatively clear.

Yan Sichen remained silent, but when he heard this, he looked at Shen Yinuo and said, "Where is the earth? Still no news?"

"Not yet, but I have set up a program to send a wide-area distress message to the earth every once in a while. I believe there will be a response soon." Shen Yinuo said and showed off his results.

.

Xian Qianhua was slightly startled when she saw this scene, and her smile froze.

Su Wanxia noticed her change and stood up and said, "Anyway, this is good news for us. We have enough time to think about the future, right?"

Xian Qianhua was slightly startled. After looking at Su Wanxia, ​​her mood changed obviously. She seemed to want to smile, but she couldn't.

Yan Sichen also noticed Xian Qianhua's changes. He held Xian Qianhua's hand and said, "Cheer up."

Xian Qianhua glanced at him and just said "hmm" softly.

…

Day 5 of Mars Camp.

When Su Wanxia passed by the activity area with several books, she happened to see Chu Xiaoming and Shen Yinuo who were swimming and enjoying their time together. He stopped and looked at them silently for a while.

Chu Xiaoming, who was kissing Shen Yinuo in the water, was really proud of himself at this moment.

But when Shen Yinuo discovered Su Wanxia, ​​she subconsciously pushed Chu Xiaoming away.

Chu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Su Wanxia.

Seeing that she had disturbed the two of them, Su Wanxia planned to leave, but Chu Xiaoming chased him out and stopped him.

"Hey, brother Wanxia, ​​wait a minute, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Su Wanxia, ​​who had not slept for several days and nights, was still full of the taste of energy drinks in her mouth. He stopped, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"What are you talking about?" His voice was so loud that Chu Xiaoming was startled.

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, so I wanted to talk to you about my future plans."

"In the future? Are you not considering returning to the earth?" Su Wanxia's current mental state is in a highly excited state. Although his willpower is very exhausted, his body continues to maintain a fever with the help of hormones.

"No, of course we have to go back. I mean... we definitely have to stay here for a while, so... we have to talk, do you understand?"

"Absolutely? Why are you so sure? Just because you haven't received a response from Earth after trying 1,300 times, you are sure that we can't go back?" Su Wanxia was a little excited.

Chu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, Brother Wanxia, ​​I didn't mean that, I meant...hey...I meant that you have been locking yourself up recently. Yinuo and I care about you very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yinuo, with wet hair, also walked over. She could not hide her proud figure even though she was wrapped in a bath towel.

But when Su Wanxia saw her, her heart was not disturbed at all.

He slowly calmed down, and there was a dull depth in his pupils.

"Care about me? No need, I'm fine, I'm enjoying every minute now, thank you." Su Wanxia turned around and left.

Chu Xiaoming froze on the spot, and Shen Yinuo hurriedly stepped forward and took hold of Su Wanxia's arm, "Wanxia, ​​wait!"

Su Wanxia stopped again. He had to admit that when he really faced Shen Yinuo, it was still difficult to calm down deep in his heart.

"Shall we have dinner together tonight? Just the three of us, okay?" Shen Yinuo's tone was slightly humble, but more concerned.

This was the first time that Su Wanxia took the initiative to invite Su Wanxia since she met Shen Yinuo, even though it was a dinner for three people.

"Well..." Su Wanxia agreed, but he did not look back.

Looking at Su Wanxia's leaving figure, Chu Xiaoming stepped forward and said, "Yinuo, regarding my proposal yesterday... look..."

"Shut up!" Shen Yinuo's expression changed, as if she had suddenly become a different person. She glared at Chu Xiaoming fiercely and walked away angrily.

Chu Xiaoming smiled bitterly and said to himself, "I'm really a bastard..."

…

"Rat Utopia in Universe 25? What kind of experiment is this?" Yan Sichen has also been studying recently, but his research direction is not consistent with Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia is trying to unlock all the secrets about the old gods.

Yan Sichen, on the other hand, is trying to use everything in the camp to build an interstellar spacecraft piloted by an artificial intelligence robot, with the goal of figuring out what is happening on the earth within ten years.

"You can think of this as an ultimate microcosm experiment about the progress of civilization." Su Wanxia unfolded all kinds of information. He pointed to a scanned photo that looked very dated and said, "Nearly two centuries ago. , someone once conducted a simulation experiment about a mouse utopia. In this experiment, the designer prepared a 'utopia' for the experimental mice, a place where food, water and space were very sufficient compared to the existing number of mice. Utopia' and named it Universe 25."

"Well..." Yan Sichen looked at the photo. A group of people gathered around the "mouse utopia" built on wooden boards. The space of this "utopia" is small compared to human society, but for the relatively small number of mice in the "utopia" But it is very sufficient.

"In Universe 25, the designers designed the theoretical survival limit of the 'Mouse Utopia' to be around 3,800. At the same time, they ensured that all the mice in the 'Mouse Utopia' were kept away from disease, disaster and other objective factors, and then They are talking about observing the future of four male rats and four female rats as experimental subjects in Utopia." Su Wanxia said this and turned on the projection function of the crystal plate.

"I used the camp's carrier core to restore various details of this experiment, and then came up with...this result..." Su Wanxia didn't say any more.

Yan Sichen's attention also shifted from the information on the table to the projection screen.

In the picture, the rats living in Universe 25 lived a very comfortable life at first. They had plenty of water and food, so the first batch of baby rats were soon born.

Next, as time goes by, more and more rats are born in the "Rat Utopia" in Universe 25.

The number of mice at this stage increases in a "J" shape.

But when the number of rats reached about 600, the growth of the rat population began to slow down.

At this time, nearly a year has passed since the experiment began.

During this year, the rat population as a whole maintained a peaceful and stable state, and the rat utopia was thriving.

But at this time, there is one detail worth noting, that is, the first generation of mice still controls the core resources and geographical location of the mouse utopia after having their own families and children, so that other new mice, female mice, can only move away from the center

Life on the other fringes of the region.

These female rats gradually began to learn to live alone, and moved away from the society of the rat group and their original family of origin.

The male rats continued to gather in the central area, enjoying easier access to food and water, where they also had a richer social life, but they began to become anxious and irritable, and even experienced obvious physical weakness and other problems.

The rats that gathered in the area that was the original source of food and water began to become no longer peaceful. They attacked each other and behaved very strangely.

And the oldest mice among them are still continuing to carry out the process of repeated reproduction and expansion.

Of course, they have also undergone some new changes, that is, they have begun to be vigilant and pay attention to communication and contact with rats of different blood origins, just like several large families are wary of each other.

At the same time, they also exiled the newborn rats. To this end, the female rats among them adopted measures such as early weaning and expulsion, which directly led to the death of many young rats.

A few months later, the number of rats in Universe 25 has stopped growing.

But at this time, the number of rats is still far from the upper limit of the actual survival of Universe 25. This means that with the existing space and resources, the rats could have grown stronger, but they did not.

At this time, the rats entered the third stage, also known as the sinking stage.

During the sinking stage, a large number of rats in the rat colony began to invest time and energy in eating, sleeping, and socializing. They lost interest in reproduction, and many rats even began to exhibit same-sex behaviors.

At this stage, the initial prosperity of the Mouse Utopia has been replaced by decay.

Some mice became manic and restless, and some showed obvious mutations.

The restless rats are very aggressive and often create large-scale commotions, while the mutated rats have lost their hair and even become deformed such that they cannot see or smell because they have lived in the dark for a long time.

In the later stages of the decline, the mutual aggression within the rat group had basically disappeared, but these rats were completely different from the rats that were initially observed in the experiment.

Experimenters released these mice into a normal group of mice in the hope that their abnormalities would be improved.

But the fact is that all rats that have experienced a stage of decline in the "Rat Utopia" of Universe 25 are completely unable to integrate into a "healthy" group like normal rats. The decline they show is not reflected in their bodies.

On the other hand, it’s about mental character.

Finally, the five-year mouse utopia came to an end.

Universe 25 did not fulfill all human fantasies about utopia as the experimenters expected. On the contrary, it was the most realistic example of dystopia.

…

The demonstration ends here.

Yan Sichen nodded thoughtfully and asked Su Wanxia, ​​"So you think the camp will not be our final destination?"

Su Wanxia shook her head, "It doesn't matter what our outcome will be. What matters is how to fight against the law."

"Oh?" Yan Sichen was a little surprised. He looked at Su Wanxia in surprise and said, "Why do you want to try to fight against the law?"

Su Wanxia said, "Murphy's Law tells us that things will always get worse. Most of the time we just try to keep things in a relatively good state as much as possible, but it is still inevitable that our entire civilization will be like this

The rats in Universe 25 are heading towards a dark and lightless end."

Hearing this, Yan Sichen understood, but he still sighed deeply and said, "The universe we observe now is not eternal, so why do humans think they should transcend this reality? As you said, Murphy's Law tells us

Things will always get worse and worse, that’s because the existence of everything in the universe is destined to be a countdown from birth to destruction. It’s nothing more than a short and long term. In this case, why not be free and unrestrained?”
