Chapter 557 The Same Direction
"Okay, let's take ten years. If you can complete the reproduction of the ZS bacteria within ten years, then I guarantee you that even if I risk my life, I will create a three-dimensional space for you."
After Ou Mengfeng hesitated for a moment, he decided to go all out.
Lai Wenming grinned, his serious expression showing the vitality that seemed to belong to a young man, "Dean Ou, you are being humble. After all, in the previous timeline, you were able to create particle-related particles without having the technical conditions at all. Where’s the bomber?”
Ou Mengfeng waved his hands angrily, "Okay, okay, I don't need you to put a high hat on me."
When Lai Wenming turned around to leave, Ou Mengfeng reminded him fiercely from behind, "It doesn't matter if you understand the history yourself. This is your own ability. But I have to remind you not to relay what you discovered to anyone." Others who don’t know. The sage once said..."
"Okay, okay, I know. Everyone has their own different destiny that is changing. So predicting life in advance may not be a happy thing. Right? Even though I am only sixteen years old, it makes sense. I know a lot.”
"go Go."
Ou Mengfeng waved his hands angrily.
After Lai Wenming left the office, Ou Mengfeng said to himself, "I don't know what height this kid can reach this time."
Although he didn't want to admit it, as a dean, he secretly envied Lai Wenming's achievements.
He knows it very well.
Even if he is not old now and is on the same starting line as Lai Wenming, he will never be able to catch up with Lai Wenming's height.
Creating a three-dimensional space is his limit.
But Ou Mengfeng knew that if Lai Wenming succeeded, ZS bacteria would be just the beginning.
"So the sage was right. People without any perseverance really can't bear this blow."
Ou Mengfeng muttered to himself, closed the book and walked out of the room.
He needs to get some air.
It's sunny outside.
The sun is high.
The garden-style Xingfeng Research Institute is surrounded by green trees, with birds flying through the sky and animals running through the forest.
There are white houses dotting the woods.
When the level of science and technology has reached a new peak in the twenty-sixth century, humans have decorated the earth as if it were ancient times tens of millions of years ago.
Time and space seem to be a subtle reincarnation.
…
"Commander Glennie, there are still seventy-two hours left, and we are about to arrive at Methuselah."
A small fleet is sailing slowly through the universe at half the speed of light.
In the command cabin of the New Heartfire, Sumit, who was dressed in a sharp military uniform, said to Glennie, who was dozing in the command chair.
Glennie opened his sleepy eyes, "Is that so? Okay, execute plan A."
The so-called Plan A is the most common and conventional development plan formulated by the Imperial Science Department before departure.
The Bonnie fleet will first establish a residential space station colony around the planet Methuselah and launch a rapid racial reproduction plan with the goal of reaching a population of 10 billion within twenty years.
The fleet carries as many as 20 billion frozen embryos.
The tasks of the more than one million crew members accompanying the fleet include conducting on-site scientific research activities and building bases.
In the interstellar age, when humans are unable to master cryonics technology and human life spans have never exceeded the five-hundred-year threshold, the importance of frozen embryos in the process of human colonization and expansion has been elevated to unprecedented heights.
Human beings, whose life span is short and must face birth, old age, illness and death, want to occupy more space in the universe, and can only continue to place their hopes on the next generation.
Of course, some people desire immortality. In the 24th century, some resource allocators even invested huge sums of money and a lot of manpower and material resources in an attempt to find immortality technology outside of the "Millennium Plan" left by Chen Feng.
Although Chen Feng has long said that eternal life is a foolish dream for human beings, but since it is a dream, there will always be people who dream it.
These people have tried many different methods, including anti-aging, mind freezing, cryonics, mechanized transformation, cloning replacement... and so on, but there is still one big problem that cannot be solved.
Human thinking cannot be solidified.
Even if someone did successfully transfer the memory of an elderly person into his cloned brain, the mind would disintegrate within two days, and the cloned human brain would become a bunch of meaningless organisms.
There are also people like Chen Feng who try to convert their thinking to quantization and enter the quantum network. But cruelly, the memories of these people are assimilated by data in the quantum network and become the "nutrient" of the stars.
These people’s sense of autonomy evaporates.
Their lives have become an insignificant part of the vast experience of the stars.
Humanity's coveting of eternal life lasted until the end of the twenty-fifth century, when it finally came to an end.
Only then did people fully realize the reality.
"No one" can live forever.
This is the basic law given to human beings by the universe.
Now Glennie seems to be facing the end of his life.
Glennie, who will soon turn 180, looks much older than his peers. His hair has fallen out, his eyes are cloudy, and his cheeks are red from years of drinking.
He didn't look like a fleet commander at all, but like a despised old man who was degenerate.
Sumit had made many reports in private, requesting a change of commander, but her applications were all in vain and no one responded.
No one rejected it, and no one gave her a signature.
Sumit was helpless.
This chief of staff must be really frustrated.
She could only secretly rejoice. Thank God, this voyage was only ten years long, otherwise her life would be ruined here.
Sumit: "Mr. Glennie, our voyage is about to reach its end. Is this all you have to say? Execute Plan A? Is it over?"
Glennie nodded, "Yeah. What else can I say? Give an impassioned speech?"
Sumit covered his forehead, "I can't believe it. You are actually the hero who turned the tide during the voyage to Planet K."
Glennie laughed loudly, "Little girl, the universe is so big, of course it is full of wonders, and there are many things you can't believe."
"I've seen your resume. It's obvious that you were..."
"A person with a passion for life?"
"Yes."
"People change. Okay, I remember it was written in Plan A that after the colony is established, you will be transferred to the colonial administrator, right?"
"Yes."
"Very good. Then please use your privileges to prepare a combat-grade small spaceship for me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Go where I need to go."
Sumit: "..."
On this side of the earth, Lai Wenming is waving goodbye to many of his closest friends and parents.
In these ten years, he not only completed the reconstruction of ZS bacteria, but also completed the theoretical deduction of pseudo-quantum viruses.
Now, he will continue his "dangerous" research in the first complete three-dimensional space in human history that Dean Ou Mengfeng personally built for him.
The three-dimensional space is built in a palm-sized metal sphere.
The characteristics of the metal sphere are somewhat similar to those of the core of the Mizu.
During Ou Mengfeng's research process, the stable unified cohesion in the core of the Mi clan provided him with a lot of ideas and references.
The metal sphere will be buried in an unnamed asteroid in the Kuiper asteroid belt.
From now on, Lai Wenming will be alone and isolated from the world until he completes all his unfinished business.
Lai Wenming, now 27, rejected all assistants.
He is slimmer than he was ten years ago.
In an era of highly developed nutrition, it is a miracle that Lai Wenming has lost such weight.
Watching Lai Wenming board the spacecraft, Lai Shengyi stepped forward, shook hands with his son, and patted his shoulder, but said nothing.
Lai Wenming's mother looked at him eagerly, "After entering alone, you must remember to strictly follow the reminders of the artificial intelligence, eat on time, and ensure nutrition. If your body collapses first, then nothing can be done."
Lai Wenming nodded, "I understand."
Turn around.
The spaceship sets sail.
In two completely different places separated by a dome spanning 190 light-years, two people with different destinies unknowingly moved in the same direction.
