Chapter 1665 Collapse of the Ethereal Realm

That's the end of the video.

There was no applause at the end.

Because including Xie Wufeng, all the lecturers, professors and college students of Tianhuan Academy present couldn't help but look at their hands.

It seems that in their palms, there is really a small, fragile, and immature "sub-civilization" that is being conceived and is about to be born.

The strong power contained in Professor Mo Xuan's calm and crystal-like voice penetrated the barriers of time and space, making Li Yao, who watched this video decades later, couldn't help but groan slightly. Open your hands.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled the day when he set his hand on the pulsating neutron star in the cosmic vacuum near the Kunlun ruins more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, he had already decided to venture deep into the dark nebula, but he didn't know if he could come back alive, so he absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, collected the aura of the universe, condensed the huge spiritual energy of the pulse neutron star, and left some seeds of life .

When the night is vast, the road ahead is long, good and bad are unpredictable, and the seeds of life are left behind to breed better, stronger and more evolved offspring, people will become fearless and full of protection and fighting. And the courage to go forward!

This is true for an individual, and why is it not true for human civilization as a whole when it is wandering in the dark universe?

As the saying goes, brothers who fight tigers, father and son fight in battle. Human civilization is still too lonely after all. If a sub-civilization is really created, father and son stand side by side to fight against the darkness and danger of the universe. Wouldn't it be better?

Li Yao stared out the window in a daze.

At this moment, the artificial sky dome of the ring world is slowly being replaced by night, and the lights are dimmed for thousands of households.

On the noisy streets in the downtown area, there are also many citizens, supporting the old and the young, pacing slowly on the street and going to restaurants for dinner.

The children are either holding the hands of their parents and swinging, or running around their parents, or pestering their parents to ask for this and that, laughing, carefree and innocent.

But the smiles hidden deep in the wrinkles of the parents seem to be stronger and brighter than the smiles of the children!

Looking at these warm scenes, Li Yao's heart was full of emotions.

A hundred years during hibernation is just a blink of an eye. When he was in the ancient holy world, he didn't feel the passage of time, and he regarded himself as Li Yao, a young man in his 20s and 30s.

However, when he returned to the Federation, he really felt the passage of a hundred years, and his mentality also changed subtly, and he really regarded himself as a centenarian, Laomo Li.

"Zi Wenming... child... oops, I didn't expect that even Ding Lingdang would quietly accept a adoptive daughter, but the seeds of life left by me and her back then didn't seem to be conceived!"

Li Yao has carefully checked the relevant information. If the life seeds of the "Supreme of the Three Realms" and the "Federal God of War" are really taken out to give birth to offspring, such explosive news must be known to everyone in the Federation.

Such a thing did not happen.

He didn't know whether to regret it or take a long breath of relief.

But if you think about it carefully, if you return to the Federation this time and see Ding Lingdang, a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls and boys suddenly appear around him and call him "Daddy", it seems quite scary.

Thinking of such a scene, Li Yao couldn't help shivering.

It's terrible, so let's not do it!

From the perspective of a Nascent Soul monster, he is still young and in full bloom, and he still wants to be full of stars and waves everywhere. Let's talk about things like having children later!

Li Yao collected himself, forcibly suppressed the wild thoughts in his head, and asked Ling Xiaole curiously: "After watching the video, it was really thought-provoking, but I don't know what happened afterwards. With the efforts of Professor Mo Xuan, has the 'Zi Wen Ming' been born?"

"of course not."

Ling Xiaole sighed, puffed her cheeks and said, "Creating a new life, and a highly developed new civilization with self-awareness, how can it be so easy? It's not really writing a fantasy novel!

"If you can't understand the difficulty of this matter, let's give you an example of a primitive planet with an atmosphere and liquid water, which is generally suitable for the birth and reproduction of life, and then give you some single-celled life with tenacious vitality and unlimited evolution possibilities , put them into the ocean of this planet, how long will it take you to cultivate them into a real civilization?"

Li Yao nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, the birth of life is destined to be impossible to achieve overnight. Even if the evolution law of the virtual world is different from that of the real world, even if the speed is dozens or hundreds of times faster, it will be of no avail compared to the long years required to conceive life.

Not to mention, the fragility of the initial life is very likely to die halfway!

Ling Xiaole continued: "Decades ago, a research team headed by Professor Mo Xuan did try to explore related directions. They were like looking for a 'primitive planet' suitable for the birth of life. A 'virtual planet' has been created in a small corner of the city, an expansion pack dedicated to the research team, or in other words, a small 'sub-civilization incubation pool'.

"They are trying to create virtual life in this small world called 'Ethereal World', of course not advanced life with self-awareness, at best, some, uh, similar to 'virtual fungi, virtual algae, virtual trilobites' And so on, the original virtual life!

"I don't really understand the principles and terminology in this area. This is roughly what it means. Can you understand?"

Li Yao thought for a while, "It's like a crystal brain virus or something?"

Ling Xiaole nodded: "Almost, but it is definitely more advanced and complex than the crystal brain virus. Professor Mo Xuan hopes that these 'virtual ancient creatures' can reproduce themselves, evolve slowly, and continuously upgrade, so that humans can gain insight into the birth and evolution of 'virtual life' the mystery."

Li Yao listened intently: "What happened later, did you succeed?"

"No, the birth of life is mysterious, unpredictable and manipulable. It doesn't mean that all the factors that can give birth to life will be able to create new life. Hundreds of millions of planets in the universe can really give birth to life. Even the planet of the most primitive fungi is no more than one in a trillion, and any extremely small factor may lead to the premature death of primitive life."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiaole's expression became quite gloomy, "Manpower is sometimes poor, how can the 'creator' be so easy to be? Professor Mo Xuan failed, and the 'Ethereal World' completely collapsed, turning into a barren and dead number The ruins were finally sealed and stored. This failed attempt may be the worst blow in the century since the founding of the New Federation."

Li Yao thought for a while, but still didn't understand: "Wait, the so-called 'virtual life' was originally something illusory. No one expected them to be born within a few decades. It was originally a cutting-edge experiment. Even if it really failed, It doesn't seem to be the 'worst blow', right?"

"No, the collapse of the 'Ethereal World' was nothing in itself, but it led to several serious consequences."

Ling Xiaole explained, "At that time, the most important members of the "Civilization" production team, including Professor Mo Xuan, Professor Su Changfa, and Su Changfa's disciple Lu Qingchen, all joined this 'incubation team'."

Li Yao blinked: "Is that the most wanted criminal in the Federation, Lu Qingchen, the president of the Emperor's Association?"

"Yes."

Ling Xiaole said, "He wasn't a villain from the beginning. A hundred years ago, he was Su Changfa's only true disciple, and Su Changfa was the person who made great contributions to "Civilization" after Li Yao, so in "Civilization" In the early days of ", Lu Qingchen was naturally also Su Changfa's right-hand man, one of the core members of the "Civilization" production team, the best content architect, and the creator of the virtual world.

"Professor Mo Xuan, Su Changfa, Lu Qingchen, together with a group of the best crystal brain experts from the Federation, jointly created the special expansion piece 'Ethereal World', which was originally just a simple experiment to verify some basic principles. Theory and law, but somehow the experiment went awry and caused a serious accident.

"This accident directly led to the death of Su Changfa; afterward, Professor Mo Xuan was also disheartened, thinking that with the current development speed of the Federation's crystal brain and the unified spiritual network, it is impossible for a virtual life with self-awareness to be born within five hundred years , coupled with the fact that we are facing the military pressure of the empire, he was forced to transfer to other research fields, and was finally replaced by Professor Xie Wufeng.

"What's more, the unexpected occurrence and the tragic death of Master planted the seeds of rebellion in Lu Qingchen's heart, causing him to eventually fall to the Real Human Empire and become the president of the Dilin Society!

"If history can be assumed, maybe we can imagine that if Professor Mo Xuan hadn't been so radical back then, and carried out the 'Ethereal World' experiment hastily in an extremely immature environment, Su Changfa would not have died, Professor Mo Xuan I will not be disheartened, and Lu Qingchen will not be greatly stimulated and fall to the empire.

"Then, will the situation of the Federation be much better today? After all, within the Federation, the 'Emperor's Meeting' can be said to be the number one trouble!"

It turned out to be like this, I didn't expect that so many things happened outside when I was sleeping soundly.

The truth of the accident that Ling Xiaole understated must not be so simple, Su Changfa died like this, and even Professor Mo Xuan was disheartened, really...

etc!

Li Yao frowned, suddenly felt a little strange.

Because, judging from their encounters on the Firefly, especially the rebellion launched by Ding Zhengyang and Cheng Xuansu under the instigation of Lu Qingchen from the Emperor Linhui, Li Yao and Long Yangjun had previously analyzed that Lu Qingchen was extremely It may be that Jin Xinyue deliberately created an "Emperor's Meeting" to attract all immortal cultivators, so as to catch them all at once.

But now Ling Xiaole said that Lu Qingchen fell to the empire because of the collapse of the "Ethereal World" and the tragic death of his master Su Changfa.
