Text Chapter 1633 Rebirth Plan

Cui Lingfeng was silent, his lips were as strong as the gate of a starship facing the vacuum of the universe.

Tang Dingyuan glanced at Li Yao, his eyes became more severe, and his anger gradually accumulated: "First it was the 'Red Lotus Project', and now there is a 'Rebirth Project', I don't know how many things are going on on this ship. ?”

"a lot of."

Cui Lingfeng said quietly, "You are the captain of the Firefly. The captain must be fearless, go forward bravely, and ride the wind and waves! Only the ignorant can be fearless. You don't need to know everything."

"I want to know."

Tang Dingyuan stared into Cui Lingfeng's eyes, and said calmly but firmly, "If you don't say it, then let Ding Zhengyang do it."

Cui Lingfeng's lip, which has sealed countless secrets, trembled slightly for a long time, and finally said: "In the past thousand years, we have encountered countless difficulties, dangers, and dangerous situations, and we have drawn up contingency plans for all situations, the 'Rebirth Plan' It is an emergency plan formulated for the most serious, dangerous, and deadly 'super crisis' situations."

Tang Dingyuan was slightly startled and said, "I've never heard of a 'super crisis situation', and a 'first-level crisis situation' is already the highest level."

Cui Lingfeng smiled: "No, the first level is not the highest level, but the super level is. The so-called 'super crisis' means that the resources used for survival and escape on the ship are less than one-fifth of the standard, and the circulation system and artificial greenhouses are severely damaged. destruction, follow-up resources will not be able to return to half of the standard within fifty years, and will even continue to decrease, leading to the collapse of our civilization within fifty years and complete extinction within one hundred years, oh, this is still In an ideal state, in fact, due to people’s survival instinct and all kinds of crazy actions before dying, once everyone knows that we will perish within fifty to one hundred years, it will not take so long at all, five years at most, The social order will completely collapse, and within ten years, the fire of civilization on this ship, which is as weak as a firefly, will be completely extinguished.

Once the speaker is aware of the occurrence of this situation, he has the power and must start the 'rebirth plan' to reduce the population on board quickly, efficiently, and steadily until a balance is reached between the population and the sustainable recovery of resources.

Tang Dingyuan's voice began to tremble: "Why, how to 'reduce the population'?"

Cui Lingfeng said: "Do you know the icy rain attack that the Firefly suffered 728 years ago? The icy rain itself was not serious, it only penetrated the shell of our outer starship, but the meteor ice carried With a strange virus, a great plague was caused inside the Firefly, which reduced our population by 20%."

"Of course I know, that was almost the most difficult and darkest period of the Firefly."

Tang Dingyuan wondered, "But wasn't that plague completely extinguished by us?"

"Yes, the plague was extinguished, but the virus was not completely destroyed."

Cui Lingfeng smiled strangely, "This is really a very perfect virus. It mutates a lot. It spreads through the air and spreads quickly. The symptoms are not obvious. The incubation period is uncertain. Once it occurs, it is extremely deadly. It will automatically find the strongest virus. The hosts with higher psychic powers are preferentially infected. In hosts with more powerful psychic powers, the rate of mutation and erosion will be faster, which can offset the host's efforts to use psychic powers to heal themselves. In other words, this is a virus that treats everyone equally Neither ordinary people nor cultivators can escape its clutches, and the death rate is almost the same.

Our virologists studied it in depth in the laboratory. At first, the idea was to refine a virus weapon to fight the empire, but later found that it has an Achilles' heel, which can be easily destroyed by a synthetic drug. Prevention and treatment, and the materials for synthesizing this drug are produced in various worlds, and the synthesis method is not too complicated.

In other words, even if the virus weapon is really refined, it will be difficult to cause a serious blow to the empire. It will only wreak havoc on one or two of their starships for a while, and it does not have much military significance.

But this kind of special medicine... on our ship, it is difficult to refine it in large quantities.

As a result, experts hundreds of years ago began to refine virus weapons for a new purpose, and the final result was very satisfactory. It spreads quickly, has hidden symptoms, is highly lethal, and targets both practitioners and ordinary people. The air circulation system diffuses inside the sealed starship, which can silently and instantly reduce a large number of people. Most importantly, it has a characteristic we call 'half-life', and it will automatically annihilate after a few generations of transmission. Will not continue to spread.

And this half-life is controllable and can be long or short.

In other words, this is a "precision strike" virus weapon. As long as the half-life is controlled and the total number of people available for infection is known, it can be calculated in advance how many people it can kill. It will then be exhausted and annihilated without leaving any sequelae.

This virus is named the 'Rebirth Virus', and it is the key to the Rebirth Project, which may bring... rebirth to the dying Firefly. "

Tang Dingyuan couldn't believe his ears at all, and stared at Cui Lingfeng dumbfounded for a long time: "You, you have secretly developed a virus weapon, but it is not used to deal with the enemy, but to kill your own people, your own Compatriots, those people I swear to protect! What is the difference between you and immortal cultivators?"

"have."

Cui Lingfeng said calmly, "Suppose you are an immortal cultivator and are in charge of implementing the 'Rebirth Plan', think about it, what would you do exactly? Of course, the cabin where ordinary people, that is, the lowly 'original people' live, and the immortal cultivator also It is to isolate the cabin where the "real person" lives, and only put the virus in the cabin of the original person; or let all the cultivators take special medicine in advance; or even find a way to weaken it during the refining stage of the virus weapon The aggressiveness towards those who have awakened their spiritual roots should only infect ordinary people, not immortal cultivators, right?

After all, in the eyes of cultivators, ordinary people are garbage people, a useless burden. Since resources are insufficient, reducing the number of garbage people is a matter of course.

But this is not how we implement it. I can decipher all the implementation plans of the "Rebirth Plan" to you. We have no intention of isolating everyone or letting anyone take special drugs in advance. Even, for insurance, our ancestors All special medicines and materials that can be used to refine medicines have been destroyed long ago.

Once I decide to launch the virus, the virus will instantly spread throughout the Firefly, randomly killing its prey, no one will be spared, no matter the practitioners or ordinary people, even myself included. become infected and eventually die.

Do you understand, the ancestors who made this decision did not regard themselves as "supermen" who could decide the life and death of "mortals". Whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, everyone is the same, obeying the ruling of fate, many people will die, But many more will carry their burdens and move on, in the... dark universe.

It is fine to say that the ancestors who drew up the 'Rebirth Plan' are deceiving themselves and others, but I think this is probably the biggest difference between them... us and immortal cultivators. "

Tang Dingyuan's heartbeat and breathing became extremely difficult, and the upper and lower rows of teeth were clenched so hard that one felt that even if a starship was put in his mouth, he could chew it into pieces: "No matter how you explain, I still Unacceptable, absolutely not!"

"Then, brother Dingyuan, tell me what to do?"

Cui Lingfeng sighed and said, "Suppose now, as the captain, you know very well that the resources on board are only enough for one hundred people to barely survive, but we have two hundred people, two hundred mouths waiting to be fed and never enough to fill up." belly, what would you do?"

Tang Dingyuan fell into deep thought, speechless, and his voice became much lower: "Cultivators, cultivators shouldn't be like this, so..."

"If you think cultivators shouldn't be so dark."

Cui Lingfeng said indifferently, "That's just because someone stood in front of you, first help you get rid of these dark, dirty, and cruel things, my captain."

In the prison cell, Ding Zhengyang let out a "croak" laugh like a crow: "Captain, you know the truth about the 'Rebirth Plan', right? The planner, is he still a true cultivator? No, I am not the first immortal cultivator on the Firefly, there have been immortal cultivators on this ship for a long time, and it has been occupied by immortal cultivators long ago!"

Cui Lingfeng said coldly: "Ding Zhengyang, we didn't implement the 'Rebirth Plan' until the end, and the Firefly survived."

"That's right, we made it through, but it's only because you were lucky enough not to encounter a 'super crisis'!"

Ding Zhengyang said with a smile, "But luck will not always be so good. If I hadn't encountered the Imperial Claw Fleet or the Xingyao Federation, the Firefly would have continued to drift toward the depths of the Star Sea, towards an unknown place that is inaccessible. The starship is slowly aging, and within a few hundred years, a 'super crisis' will definitely happen!

Don't argue with me, I'm the first mate, and I know every thread and thread of every screw on this boat like the back of my hand!

That is to say, within a few hundred years, even if the empire does not capture the Firefly, the Firefly itself will be swallowed by the darkness and become a small 'immortal cultivator civilization'!

Do you understand, one day, we will all become immortal cultivators, I just... just took a step ahead!

This is Lu Qingchen's theory, cultivators are just "special mutant forms" in a stable environment with sufficient resources, but in the dark universe, lack of resources and drastic changes in the environment are the norm, so cultivators are the general "superman" Manifestation! "(To be continued.)
