Voyage of the Stars

Science is a discipline that explains phenomena and analyzes their essence.

As long as the theory you propose can explain the existing phenomena of the universe, it can be considered correct to a certain extent.

So these two explanations do not conflict.

On the contrary, they seem to complement each other.

In the following time, like Yi Kai and Liu Miyan, special research projects on the Wolf 1061 c biosphere also sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Humanity, which has settled down a little, has ushered in a period of vigorous development. Technology in various fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology has made breakthroughs one after another, and has overcome one technical difficulty after another, transforming mankind from a junior first-level civilization to a senior first-level civilization. Civilization is steadily advancing.

Especially biology, because mankind has regained a treasure house of the biosphere, this subject has become the most popular subject, and has become the first choice subject for countless new students when choosing a major.

Time passed by, and sixteen years passed in a flash.

The quiet years not only contribute to the development of various disciplines, but also greatly promote the development of humanities.

Research shows that in a relatively stable environment, humans secrete many more hormones than in an anxious environment. The open gender culture allows men and women to enjoy sex after work.

Controllable nuclear fusion has brought nearly endless energy, the interstellar era has ensured abundant supplies, and the new government has provided various welfare subsidies to families with newborns.

In this context, human newborns ushered in a great explosion.

In just a dozen years, the number of humans who first arrived here was less than 120,000, and the number suddenly exploded to more than 600,000, of which children accounted for the majority.

It is foreseeable that as generations of children grow up, the number of humans will inevitably continue to rise. The new government predicts that human numbers could triple another three to five times in the next two decades.

Because of the existence of the Life Potion, the problem of population aging is no longer a problem. Although the first version of the Life Potion could only deceive genes for two hundred years, it is already a long time for humans who become sexually mature in their teens.

When the new government predicts population development, in addition to considering the objective laws of childbirth, there is also an effect of approval of life medicines.

To put it simply, everyone has a love for beauty.

The approval of the first version of the life potion requires the applicant to have offspring. This alone is enough to allow the majority of beauty-loving women to get married early, start a family and have children early.

The reason is that although the life potion can deceive genes for two hundred years, it has no rejuvenating effect, and the user is generally fixed at the age of use.

Well, fixing the age does not mean that the whole person has not changed, but it makes the genes think that the body at this stage should be maintained. So the damn cells will die, but the genes trigger a certain mechanism that prompts the body's cell factory to copy new cells to replace them. In other words, metabolism still continues, you have to eat when you need to eat, and you have to have diarrhea when you need to.

Men who have lost their reproductive function still have bullets, but they are bullets without genetic factors. Women also have targets, but they are also targets without genetic factors.

After knowing this situation, almost no one in the human race is willing to wait until they are old before using the life potion. After all, who doesn't like to be young, strong and energetic!

Of course, two hundred years is still too short for the interstellar era.

This is one of the main reasons why biology has become the hottest among hot topics.

According to Yi Kai's original life potion data, the first version of the life potion theoretically only takes effect once on the same body. The reason is said to be that the gene itself has some unknown principle of memory.

After a gene is deceived by a drug once, it will form a certain recognition mechanism so that the drug cannot deceive it again.

In this case, humans need better medicines, or medicines with different ingredients, so that they can continue to deceive genes.

Yue Yuan already knew the efficacy of the first version of the life potion after Yi Kai studied it. After all, the experimental data on various mice were clearly recorded there.

But not long ago, Yi Kai told him that while studying a new version of the life potion at the Life Research Institute, he discovered that the same was true for his five-hundred-year lifespan. Even if he inhaled the red gas again, it would no longer have an effect.

In other words, the life potion developed by humans may not be an incomplete version, but a weakened version of a different prescription.

What does this finding mean?

This means that humans are likely to gain insight into the background of a certain aspect of the universe.

Thinking about the key points, Yue Yuan fell into deep thought.

He slid his office chair to the edge of the porthole and stared blankly at the orange planet 140,000 to 50,000 kilometers away, but his thoughts had already flown into the universe.

"Treasure, what a treasure in the universe." He murmured and sighed.

If humanity's first version of the life potion was a incomplete version, and the original Callisto alien spacecraft was a complete or perfect version, then it doesn't matter - if you develop the perfect version, you can live forever once and for all.

But the current discovery clearly tells mankind that that is not the complete version, or the perfect version.

Even if there is a perfect version, humans are now skeptical. If there is a perfect version of the Life Potion, it must also be priceless.

Immortality can be expected, but hard to find.

If there is no perfect version of the potion of life, then the biosphere that has evolved naturally for billions of years is definitely the treasure of treasures in the universe.

Because intelligent life must constantly update the life potion formula in order to live forever. So how can we update life potions better and faster?

The answer, of course, is the living planet biosphere.

But life planets in the universe are so rare, why don’t all kinds of civilizations compete for them?

"In that case." Yue Yuan muttered. At this time, he thought of the original broadcast of the Galaxy Alliance.

refuge!

According to the meaning, it should be a place that provides shelter to low-level civilizations. Why should a high-level civilization provide shelter to low-level civilizations? What do they want?

Yue Yuan seems to have found the answer to this question now.

"They want to be the cradle of life that gave birth to low-level civilization." Yue Yuan thought secretly, but as soon as this idea came to him, he felt that something was wrong.

Because if this is the case, then advanced civilizations must desperately search for life planets. How come such low-level civilizations, like the human earth, have not discovered aliens in so many years.

"Isn't it possible that we have been there before, just like how humans have come to Wolf 1061 now? There is another possibility, that is, the universe is too big, and the time difference between aliens' possible visits is terrifyingly large."

"But if this is the case, the silicon-based alliance must be the natural enemy of carbon-based life. After all, they do not need the biosphere. As for the Immortal Community, it may be a group of civilizations that communicate with each other about the presence or absence of the biosphere. But how do you explain the reapers? Harvest other The fruits of civilization?" Yue Yuan shook his head secretly, "Perhaps, there is already a perfect version of that kind of existence, and they are actually pursuing other goals!"

Yue Yuan felt that the existence that dared to broadcast everywhere must be the top civilization in the galaxy. It should be impossible for such an existence to still pursue the secrets of the biosphere, otherwise the galaxy would have been divided into power zones by these advanced civilizations.

But the earth has evolved for billions of years, and even until it was destroyed, no civilization jumped out and said that this was the territory of their power, so there must be another reason.
