Chapter 363: The End of Life
"Humans have high-tech intelligent life." Zhou Qing did not agree with Liu Fei's view.
"What is wisdom? Wisdom is just another form of force. In fact, it is no different from the strong limbs and sharp teeth of dinosaurs. When dinosaurs dominated the earth's land, humans were still a humble marine creature, so power was only relative, not absolute. In the eyes of many creatures, humans are powerful and invincible existences, but in the eyes of many creatures, humans are vulnerable. AIDS, Black Death, smallpox, etc. have all been abused in human territory. Humans can only watch the death of the same kind but have no choice—"
"However, our current medical level is already able to treat the diseases you mentioned." Zhou Qing retorted.
"What about those new bacteria?"
"—" Zhou Qing was speechless. Although human science and technology level is getting higher and higher, as the scope of human activities becomes larger and larger, there will always be some incurable diseases that will cause headaches for humans.
"In fact, this is also a war, a war between humans and living things, this is a life-and-death war. There will only be one winner, and the only ending of the loser is death."
"Human destruction cannot be destroyed by diseases." Zhou Qing said firmly.
"I'm just making a metaphor. Humans face threats all the time. We can easily kill viruses. Then there will be a kind of creature that can easily kill us humans, as easy as we step on ants. One day in the future, humans will become extinct like dinosaurs, leaving only some relics for creatures that are more advanced than us. Of course, a bigger possibility is that we will not leave anything, even a skeleton-"
"Don't - stop talking, I'm afraid-" Zhou Qing said, and she suddenly felt a strange feeling. She used to be as good as a man, but she always showed a soft and weak side in front of Liu Fei.
"What should come will always come, but the situation may not necessarily develop in the worst direction. At present, human beings have learned to coexist peacefully with some species, and even reserve some free range of activities for other species. This is a civilizational progress. If this progress can be implemented in every corner of the universe, then the death of the universe will not be completed by higher intelligent life, but another unknown reason-"
"I don't understand, do you mean that the disappearance of the universe or the extinction of organisms are caused by advanced intelligent life?" Zhou Qing looked puzzled. In Zhou Qing's knowledge field, the universe we know was that the universe itself collapsed and collapsed at the end of its life, leading to the extinction of all organisms.
"Theoretically, the destruction of the universe is the process of the universe itself, but advanced intelligent life can change this process. Unfortunately, so far, it seems that all advanced intelligent life is accelerating the death of the universe - look at the stars in the sky, there is a star behind the starlight. However, during the expansion and migration of the human universe, people have discovered that those stars have long disappeared, and I doubt-"
"What?" Zhou Qing was a little nervous and urged.
"I suspect that tens of millions of years ago, or hundreds of millions of years ago, there were wise lives that looted the seven major star domains where we humans now live. In this looting, all life disappeared, the star domain became deserted, the space became dead and quiet, and countless planets were completely destroyed-"
"Then why do we humans appear?"
"In fact, the universe is like a huge intelligent life. Although it is not aggressive, it has a certain degree of creativity. For example, creating life through amino acids. In the long river of time, the universe slowly repairs this damaged star field. One by one, the desolate planets become vibrant and new stars appear one by one. Unfortunately, this speed is too slow. It has been nurtured to give birth to human life-wise life at the level of humanity's life. Compared with the speed of those plunderers, this speed is negligible."
"I have never understood, when a species' intelligence level reaches a level that can easily plunder a star field, what else will they do? Is it necessary to plunder and destroy?"
"Energy." Liu Fei said slowly.
"Is it necessary to use energy in this universe?"
"Who told you that there is endless energy?"
"Ahem, just like the sun-"
"Don't you know that the life of the sun has time? They do not exist forever. A planet like the sun has only 5 billion years of vitality. In fact, when 3 billion years, the gas emitted by the sun has already shone light and is no longer suitable for human life. All wind energy, solar energy and petroleum and coal formed by photosynthesis will disappear."
"Humans can find another sun." Zhou Qing retorted.
"What about the sun I'm looking for after the death of it?"
"Look for it again-"
"Yes, look for it again and find all the suns disappear. In fact, we don't have to be pessimistic, the sun is also born constantly. According to data, Huanxing, which is not far away from Zhuoer, is also a gaseous planet composed of hydrogen elements. However, since its mass is less than the critical mass, and the internal pressure and temperature cannot meet the conditions for thermonuclear fusion, it can only be a gaseous planet. However, it is a potential sun. Some scientists speculate that after the sun is destroyed in the future, Huanxing, which is without the restriction of the sun, will attract the surrounding planets to form a small solar system with its position as the boss of the solar system, and at the same time it will continuously absorb the surrounding matter to increase the mass. After reaching the critical mass, it will shine and heat and become another sun. But that will happen 5 billion years later. In other words, it will take 5 billion years to give birth to a sun-like planet—"
"5 billion years--" Zhou Qing was dazed. If the energy was really exhausted, let alone 5 billion years, five years would be a torment.
"Okay, we don't discuss these unhappy things. Human life is too short. Not to mention 5 billion years, even 50 years is a long time."
"I want to know what crisis will humans encounter, or is there any way to resolve these problems?"
"There are many crises in humans. In addition to the self-destruction of humans, there are too many external threats, viruses, plagues, terminal illnesses. If these viruses that cannot be treated in humans suddenly break out in full swing on one day, humans will die. As for more specific threats, such as aliens, according to some data provided by scientists, alien bodies are a miniature chemical factory. Their bodies are perfect and can almost adapt to any harsh environment. Their only flaw is that they cannot create. However, this situation is changing. aliens have known how to maintain ecological balance and control the number of races. Look at this storm, species are still abundant, and some animals and plants have not become extinct because of the appearance of aliens. This shows that they have done a good job in this regard. The basis of survival is not based on devastating destruction. It is expected that in the near future, three possibilities will appear. The first is human slave aliens, the second is aliens enslave humans, and the third is aliens living peacefully with humans."
"Share peacefully?!" Zhou Qing was shocked and couldn't stop. She could not imagine the scene of living with those dark aliens.
"In fact, these three endings are the best. If humans destroy aliens, or aliens destroy humans, then neither humans nor aliens will eventually be able to escape the fate of being extinct."
"I don't understand." Zhou Qing shook her head. She could not tie the fate of the alien to the fate of human beings.
"This is just a general statement, and it is also a conjecture. If the alien evolves to the level of human intelligence, and humans still cannot coexist peacefully with the alien, it means that the existence of human beings is based on the extinction of other advanced lives. You can imagine that if the alien's wisdom and technology level reach the same level as humans, and when they regard the other party as the enemy of life and death, what will the seven star domains become? The planet is smashed by giant cannons, the star domain will become deserted and quiet, the space channel will be congested by countless wreckage, and the surviving humans will be confined to a narrow space to fend for themselves-"
"I see--"
Zhou Qing looked at Liu Fei with a hint of undetectable respect in his eyes. In addition to his terrifying skills, this young man's extensive knowledge made Zhou Qing, a top student, feel beyond his reach. What shocked Zhou Qing the most was Liu Fei's wisdom. His thinking was farther and more comprehensive, and his far-sightedness was not like the leader of a mercenary regiment.
"In fact, we don't have to worry about it. Even if the end of life is death, we can enjoy the glory and excitement of life in the process."
"Yes, we know ourselves, we have all worked hard for the land under our feet and the sky above our heads."
“Yes, we all tried!”
