Text Chapter 1704 The Origin of Tinder

Li Yao was deeply shocked by the long river of time from ancient times to the future.

He originally thought that the so-called "Tombstone Project" or "Tinder Project" was just an insignificant one among hundreds of whimsical plans hastily thrown out by the Federation a hundred years ago under the dual pressure of the Empire and the Holy League.

At least until he left, it did.

The Tombstone Project was an "escapeist solution" derived from "absolute defeatism". It was doomed to have no market in the face of the mainstream thought of the Federation's united and bloody battle at the time.

Even Li Yao's Yaoshi Group, for the sake of Gui Shishou's face, only gave the Tombstone Project a symbolic start-up capital, and let the project die on its own.

And the original leader of the Tombstone Project, Yaozu's old birthday star, Guishou, is not a person who is good at practical operations.

He was a historian, barely half a sociological theorist, or a "civilizationist," as the Federation said at the time.

He can come up with a set of pretentious and mysterious theories that make people stunned for a while, but how to put these theories into practice is not the strong point of this old tortoise.

Therefore, until Li Yao left the Federation, the Tombstone Project did not make much progress, and in the foreseeable decades, it seemed that no substantial results would be achieved, it was just talk on paper.

Unexpectedly, today, a hundred years later, the Tombstone Project has transformed into the Tinder Project, which has developed to the point where the first batch of "Tinders" can be launched!

Just from the time tunnel created by this three-dimensional light curtain, we can see the ambition contained in the depths of the "fire". They really want to condense the origin, development, peak and future of human civilization in an instant , Inherited to a new race hundreds of millions of years later!

and……

In this "time tunnel", archaea are replaced by green algae, green algae are replaced by trilobites, trilobites are replaced by mudpot fish, mudpot fish are replaced by dinosaurs, dinosaurs are replaced by apes, apes are replaced by humans... Gradually replace or Say, out.

Until the last scene, humans are replaced and eliminated by some silvery white spheres. What does this really mean?

Li Yao was deep in thought, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Immediately, he laughed dumbfounded, was he too sensitive to laugh?

If there is really something ulterior, it will not be displayed openly like this!

At this time, Long Yangjun smiled and said to Ling Xiaole: "I heard that in the ancient Xiu era 40,000 years ago, many ancient sects would set up phantom arrays in front of the mountain gates, so that visitors can first feel the majesty and power. I can't help feeling awe and yearning for this sect.

"At that time, the Mountain Gate Phantom Formation represented the strength of a sect!

"Many ancient classics describe the phantom array of the wealthy family as extravagant and grotesque, as if a new world has really opened up in front of the mountain gate.

"At first I thought the ancients were exaggerating, but today I saw the 'Modern Magic Formation' in front of the 'Shanmen' of the Tinder Base, and I realized that the ancients were sincere!

"Just from the layout of this 'Modern Illusion Array', we can see that the 'Fire Seed Project' has a very large plan. It's strange, how come it's rarely heard of such a magnificent super plan that spans hundreds of millions of years? Tomorrow The first Tinder launch is about to take place, but the outside news media didn’t report much, isn’t this too low-key?”

Ling Xiaole said: "The Tinder Project is very low-key and mysterious, and even I don't know their inside story. To be honest, if it weren't for the honor of the two of you, a secret sword user of my level would not be qualified to enter at all.

"Even the two of you can't come in and visit casually, because in principle, the 'Tinder Project' is not completely regarded as a government project. Professor Mo Xuan himself owns an absolute majority of the shares, and he invested most of the funds. This base is almost his private property, so the two of you can come here only with the consent of Professor Mo Xuan."

"oh?"

Long Yangjun blinked, "Is there anything here that needs to be kept secret?"

"It's not a secret."

Ling Xiaole thought for a while and said, "How should I put it, the predecessor of the Tinder Project was the Tombstone Project, and the word 'Tombstone' sounds quite unlucky, and it is indeed the case. This is a defeatist and escapist project, and even It doesn't even count as fleeing, it's equivalent to saying, "We are all going to die anyway, just carve a beautiful tombstone and launch it as a memorial, and then let's just die." The two think, since the Federation is now full of vitality The momentum of prosperity, prosperity, and rising sun is the most beautiful golden age, who would be willing to understand this kind of plan!"

Long Yangjun pondered for a moment, then laughed: "That's true, crow's mouth won't be welcomed anywhere."

Ling Xiaole nodded and said: "That's right, the public prefers those passionate and impassioned plans, and the government doesn't want too much exposure of the Tombstone Project, which will hurt everyone's morale. Human civilization is doomed to perish after hundreds of millions of years. , it tastes too much nihilism, no one likes to hear it.

"The public doesn't like to hear it, and the government doesn't want to publicize it. This project can't be kept low-key.

"More importantly, even as a 'defeatist' plan, it is impossible for us to know whether it will be 'successful' in the end. When I say 'us', it is not just our generation, but the entire human race. Everyone in civilization from the past to the future."

Long Yangjun frowned: "I don't understand..."

"For example, they will launch the first 'Tinder' tomorrow. Naturally, our deep space navigation technology is very mature, and there will be no problems with the launch of the Tinder."

Ling Xiaole said, "But this kindling is set to drift in the star sea for at least several million years, to find a brand-new race after a few million years, then, whether this kindling can drift in the universe for millions of years? If it is not damaged, everything contained in the tinder, including Wei Qingqing herself, will disappear, and will she be able to find a suitable planet, discover new life, or drift forever in the desolate and boundless universe?

"Also, even if she finds a new life, is the new life a carbon-based multicellular life like us, with a flesh and blood body, able to understand our civilization, or something...no wonder, something mysterious?

"Assuming that there is a planet with a temperature difference of more than 500 degrees between day and night, and lakes of metal solution all over the surface, and some kind of life is born in these metal lakes, I find it hard to believe that it can understand and accept the inheritance of human civilization.

"It is impossible for us to give answers to all these questions now, and it may take one million, ten million, or even one hundred million years before we can answer them.

"The two think, how can this kind of 'tinder project' that has no meaning to 'this moment' attract the interest of the public and the press?

"In addition, Professor Mo Xuan's character is indeed a bit withdrawn, he deliberately kept a low profile, and did not publicize or invite the media with great fanfare. He refused interviews and observations from several major media. Only the federal army, the parliament and our secret sword Bureau, sent some guests to watch the ceremony, to be honest, I was quite surprised that he agreed to the visit of the two of you."

Long Yangjun smiled: "Is there anything special about us?"

Ling Xiaole said: "Professor Mo Xuan said that the Tinder Project is a fugitive plan, and your Star Sea Republic's...orthodox government, hasn't it been a long-term escape? Everyone is a fugitive in a certain sense, maybe you will Understand the connotation of the Tinder Project, can you have a common language with him? Therefore, he is willing to meet the distinguished guests from the Firefly and have a chat with you."

Long Yangjun and Li Yao looked at each other, and said: "Then we are really honored. It sounds like this Professor Mo Xuan is a rather weird person. I once watched a debate between him and Professor Xie Wufeng about the big He was deeply impressed by the combination of spirit net and virtual life.

"Why did Professor Mo Xuan take charge of the Tinder Project instead of doing a good job of unifying the spiritual network and virtual life research?"

Ling Xiaole shook her head, bit her lips and said: "I don't know the details, it seems that Professor Mo Xuan suffered a major setback in the 'Spirit Net and Virtual Life Project', and gave up halfway, but somehow, put all his enthusiasm and even his whole life Efforts have been transferred to the 'fire plan'.

"Actually, before Professor Mo Xuan joined, the original Tombstone project had been in a semi-paralyzed state. The start-up funds obtained from the initial investor 'Yaoshi Group' were almost spent, and the project leader Gui Shishou was a pure Theorists are not good at promoting such large-scale, multi-level and complex projects, and their connections in the human race are not very wide. This kind of defeatist project is quite unlucky, and not many elite soldiers are willing to join.

"After all, the Federation at that time was thriving in all aspects, and there were countless exciting projects and plans. As long as they were talents, there were plenty of places to use them. Why would you dedicate your life to this kind of absolute defeatism and escapism?

"Seeing that the Tombstone project was about to come to an end without a problem, Professor Mo Xuan joined in forcefully, bought out the project from Gui Shishou, and reorganized it into the 'Tinder Project'.

"Professor Mo Xuan has served as the dean of the Great Desolation War Institute, the president of the Federation of Artifact Refiners Association, the president of the Federation of Ghost Cultivators Association, etc. in the past hundred years. He has personally led the promotion and implementation of dozens of large-scale projects. Experience and contacts in the circle are not comparable to Gui Shishou.

"Furthermore, Professor Mo Xuan invested all of his wealth, and even sold off his shares in the Yaoshi Group and the authorizations for all the magic weapons he designed and refined in his life, including the 'Xuan Bone Battle Armor', to raise funds. A large sum of money was invested in the tinder plan!

"With his strong joining, the funds continued to flow, an experienced team was quickly pulled together, and this base was established. The Tinder Project was brought back to life, making rapid progress, and in just a few decades, it produced results!" (~^~ )
