Homo sapiens

The root cause of neurasthenia syndrome has been discovered in human civilization, but at this time, humans are still helpless against this disease.

Including the parent company of the solar system, dozens of branches of human civilization are fully committed to researching souls.

In fact, it is the study of dark matter and dark energy.

But time passed unknowingly, and more than a hundred years passed.

Galaxy year 521.

More than 190 years have passed since the crisis caused by neurasthenia syndrome.

During this period, countless new human scientists worked one after another, working day and night to study dark matter and dark energy, and the relationship between these two things and the souls of living things.

Even though a huge amount of manpower and material resources have been invested, and the work has been busy for more than 190 years, there have been very few results, and they are all theoretical results, none of which can be applied in practice.

However, as time goes by, human civilization has no choice but to accept the reality.

Of course, many people accept the 360-year-old life limit calmly.

Including Li Qingye, he knew that he could not continue to be frozen. After all, if he could not wait for the emergence of treatment technology within 372 years of freezing, his soul would be gone.

Instead of spending the rest of his cold life in a cryo-sleep chamber, he chose to release cryo-sleep and spend his last fifty years solving some problems.

After explaining all the work of the company.

Li Qingye appeared on an artificial asteroid on the edge of the Cooper Belt, which will become his final place of work.

He has decided that after his death, he will scatter the atoms of his body in the cypress belt.

But he did not admit defeat, nor did he want to surrender to the rules of the universe. In these 53 remaining years, Li Qingye would go all out and devote himself to the research of soul, dark matter and dark energy.

Even if he failed in the end, he would have no regrets.

If he succeeds, he can change his destiny again.

Inside the Asteroid Laboratory.

Many top scientists who were also unwilling to wait for death in the cryo-sleep chamber also joined Li Qingye's research team.

Li Qingye finished a day's research work tiredly. He looked at the laboratory where things and people had changed. His body looked very young, but in fact his soul was already extremely old.

Suddenly, a message popped up in the email inbox where no work letter had appeared for a long time.

This is a reminder program he set up. Only people who are close to him can send messages.

After reading the message, Li Qingye sighed softly: "I didn't expect that you would leave too!"

That information was Levi's obituary. As one of the veterans of Homo Sapiens Company and the founder of the company's nuclear field, Levi's was more than twenty years older than Li Qingye, and the other party was not willing to wait for death in the dormant cabin. Naturally, the end will soon be reached.

In the bathroom on the side, after washing his face with cold water, Li Qingye patted his cheek: "Come on! Let me see where my limit is!"

He used the deep sleep device to rest for three hours before returning to his research work.

Assistant Dak saw his figure appearing in the laboratory and immediately came forward: "Dr. Li! This is part of the technical information sent by the Sirius Group yesterday. I have summarized the information about dark matter, dark energy and soul. .”

"Well! Sorry to trouble you!" Li Qingye took the tablet and started browsing at a glance.

Among the subsidiaries, Sirius Group is the one with the most in-depth research in the fields of dark matter, dark energy and soul.

Li Qingye attached great importance to the information they sent.

Half an hour later, he had read more than 400 related papers, but Li Qingye's face did not relax because of this, but instead became more frowning.

The reason is of course that the research papers of the Sirius Group do not have any breakthrough progress.

"It's all superficial. Now we have no way to directly observe dark matter and dark energy, which is the fundamental reason why our research is in trouble."

Dr. Ivan, who was not far away from him, heard his muttering and came over helplessly:

"Yes! We can only observe dark matter and dark energy through several indirect methods, and the information distortion is too great."

"Ivan, how is the situation over there?"

Ivan shook his head: "There is no way. We have conducted numerous tests on hundreds of volunteers and found that their souls did not change much in response to changes in various bright substances."

Li Qingye was lost in thought, and suddenly his eyes flashed: "No! Logically speaking, our human souls should appear simultaneously during the embryonic formation stage. So here comes the question! Why is the soul produced during the embryonic development process? "

Others were also lost in thought.

This is indeed a critical question.

Now they don't need to think about why the soul is composed of dark matter and dark energy. They only need to know that the soul is "born" in the embryonic development stage of life.

Why should we figure this out?

The reason is very simple. As long as we understand how the soul is born during embryonic development, we can learn from this method to replenish the human soul or return it to its original state.

One of the researchers didn't figure out the key, but he made a suggestion: "Dr. Li! Let's use genetic engineering to cultivate a group of wild animals!"

Li Qingye nodded: "Yes! Yes! You can make arrangements."

There is really no use in thinking about it now.

However, conducting experiments and observing the changes in biological embryos during their development is a feasible solution to study the birth of souls in organisms.

Soon, a large amount of raw materials for cultivating wild animals were injected into special culture chambers, and then tens of thousands of animal embryos were cultured.

Everyone is operating various equipment and conducting various tests on these biological embryos, hoping to find out the mystery of the birth of the soul.

But this time, they all failed.

During the development process of tens of thousands of biological embryos, various data have been analyzed trillions of times by supercomputers, but the result is still nothing.

Li Qingye was not discouraged by this, because he understood that if this secret was so easy for them to find, then the universe would have been filled with immortal species.

Obviously, this secret involving the birth of the soul of an organism is one of the deep physical rules of the universe, and it is a very hidden one.

However, Li Qingye did not fight alone. He immediately shared this idea with the entire scientific community of human civilization and asked them to join in the research.

He did not believe that by concentrating the intelligence of three trillion new humans, he would not be able to study the secrets hidden within.

As long as the mystery of this is found, human civilization can further break through the boundaries of life.
