Chapter 401 We Are Too Old
The instinct of life is to reproduce and continue life from generation to generation!
It is hard to imagine that when civilization develops to a certain level, some people will even choose to end their lives because they have had enough and are too bored.
It goes against instinct, but it is what it is.
According to Yang Hongtian, they still had 3 billion people 10,000 years ago, and now they still have 2 billion people. So how many people will there be in ten thousand years?
Maybe... Tang Yan is the only one left.
By then, Tang Yan would be like the only living person on a tomb planet, arriving alone in the solar system.
"Earth?" Tang Yan heard Yang Hongtian call this planet "Earth".
"That's right! Haven't you studied history?" Yang Hongtian glanced at Tang Yan and said, "Although my thinking has deteriorated and I can't even solve a linear equation of two variables. But I still remember our history!"
"That was probably a long time ago. How long was it? Probably a hundred million years ago, a billion years ago or even longer? I can't remember. At that time, our ancestors wanted to conquer the star sea, so they transformed the planet into What it is like now!”
"The process of conquering the cosmic star sea is going quite smoothly. There are strange things in the universe, but only the 'Old Sage' and the 'Star God' have caused us trouble."
"There is no way, we are too strong! The emergence of heat death weapons and collapse bombs puts us under absolute firepower suppression. Oh, and there are also dimensionality reduction weapons, which once turned one-third of the universe into a two-dimensional spiritual world. "
"Later, we discovered the grand unified model of the universe, and there was no opponent in the entire universe to compete with us. The ancestors at that time were very high-spirited, so they prepared to create a multiverse..."
Yang Hongtian said naggingly, as if an old man was nagging an unlearned junior, but his level was limited, and some things were skipped.
Even so, quite a bit of information is revealed.
Why do the Ancient Sages and Star Gods sound familiar... It can't be from that world, right?
This familiar sense of abstraction struck Tang Yan as right!
"After the model of the multiverse was made, some people went to another universe. It was an empty universe. Some people were keen to build a new universe from scratch, while others returned to our universe. among.”
"Later, a long time passed, and few people in society gave birth to children. We thought that we could live forever, and everyone represented civilization, so there was no need to reproduce at all!"
"We defeated the instinct of life!"
"But there is no victory over curiosity, curiosity about death!"
"I understand!" Tang Yan interrupted Yang Hongtian and said, "Later, you wanted to return to the solar system?"
"It's not you, it's us!" Yang Hongtian said: "That day someone suggested that if one day we are no longer here, why not return to the solar system?"
"This is really an interesting proposal. We leave the solar system and return to the solar system!"
“Everyone agreed with this decision, so some people cheered up and started studying the route!”
"This is when we discovered it. In a highly intelligent time, our thinking has been solidified and there is nothing innovative. Our computing and logical abilities are also declining, and we can't even solve linear equations in two variables." Yang Hongtian said a little lonely:
"When I was young, I was a soldier. I drove the Luanniao battleship in the depths of the universe. But now I can only laugh at the hand-tearing devils."
"We are...too old!"
"You can make your body younger and your brain younger," Tang Yan said.
"That won't work. We have already tried it. Our thinking is like an old stone, completely solidified. Unless we choose to upload our consciousness." Yang Hongtian said: "But that is just a different kind of death."
"No wonder someone said that eternal life is eternal death!"
Tang Yan didn't know what to say. He had never faced such a person or such a civilization.
They had no worries about food and clothing, and could do what they wanted to do, but in the end... they were waiting to die.
Just because they have experienced everything except death.
"With our technology, we should be able to reach the solar system quickly, right?" Tang Yan asked.
"The universe is very, very big! There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, and the solar system is just the most ordinary one. But even the Milky Way is not a drop in the ocean in the universe."
"Where we are now is very far away from the Milky Way. It's so far away that it's billions of light years away. But it's still not a problem for us. Using soap ships in the spiritual space, our spaceship only needs We can reach the solar system in ten years.”
"But we hope that the earth can return to the solar system. So this is a long time. Even if the sub-light speed and wormhole want to travel through 82 billion light years, it will take about 20,000 years."
A distance of 82 billion light years means that even if you fly at the speed of light, you still need to fly 82 billion light years! The birth of the universe was only about 13.8 billion years ago!
Tang Yan knows how big the universe is. If the universe is compared to a desert, then the Milky Way is just a grain of sand. If the Milky Way is compared to a desert, the solar system is just a grain of sand.
It is hard to imagine that there is really a civilization that can conquer the universe, reach anywhere in the universe, or even have a grand unified model of the universe.
Such a civilization can even allow a planet to fly through the universe at sub-light speed, and the people inside the planet will not feel the sub-light speed at all.
Incredible, incomprehensible technology.
"So...is there still a 10,000-year voyage left?" Tang Yan asked.
"Yes, there are still ten thousand years!"
"Do you think you can survive until that time?" Tang Yan asked again.
"I don't know..." Yang Hongtian was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe it's possible, maybe it's impossible?"
"Why don't you sleep and take a rest? As long as you sleep, maybe you can return to your hometown ten thousand years later."
"I have also considered it, but I think it is meaningless. I was born on this planet, and this is my home. There is no difference between the solar system and the galaxy network."
"That……"
Tang Yan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Yang Hongtian. He yawned and said, "I'm tired and want to take a nap. Let's talk later!"
Following his words, an intelligent robot naturally changed the surrounding weather, so that Yang Hongtian could enjoy the majesty of nature while sleeping without getting cold. It also blocked the sun's rays and prevented the sun's dazzling rays from making him sleep uncomfortable.
He is like a god, as long as he gives orders, everything can be realized according to his ideas.
No wonder he wasn't interested in anything.
