Chapter 281 Life

Going north is the road leading to Afohan, and it's not far from the national border.

This was not the first time that we were forced to take a detour, but this time it was different because this time we encountered a city that was completely occupied by alien creatures.

Difficulties and obstacles are inevitable, and everyone is mentally prepared for this. However, when communication is cut off and there is no way to know what is happening in other places, small towns in remote corners like Quetta are completely occupied by alien creatures.

That means things can only get worse in other parts of the world.

So we can only go to Afhan. After comprehensive consideration, there is currently no better route.

Because the first thing you enter into Afhan is the Dashkiy Margo Desert, and this desert is also known as the Desert of Death. According to meteorological data, during this season, the temperature in the desert during the day can reach over 40 degrees, while at night it can drop.

With temperatures reaching zero or even below zero, such a climate is obviously not suitable for insects to survive.

If you don't go to Afghanistan, you can only take a detour and go to the Indus River Basin. The Indus River Basin is the most densely populated area in Pakistan. It has a hot climate and dense water networks. It is more suitable for the survival of insects.

Therefore, although Afhan is a country that has been at war all year round, after comprehensive consideration, we can only go to Afhan.

The national border is only reflected on the map, but when it comes to the actual border, except for a small border town, it is impossible to see the boundary between the two countries.

Farewell to the Pakistani troops who were escorting each other, Gao Yuan and the others left the road, bypassed the border town, and drove into the territory of Afohan.

Walking in the desert, there were roads everywhere, and highways became dispensable. This terrain continued until they bypassed the small border town of Spinbuldak in Afohan. It was not until they entered a mountainous area that Gao Yuan and the others had to start again.

Return to the road.

But once we get here, there are no more people, and without people, naturally there won't be a lot of zombies.

The road conditions were very bad and bumpy. The car drove for half a day and a night. Before dawn, the convoy drove off the road. After searching, they rested in an earthen house on the side of the road from five o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the afternoon.

It has been more than three months. The time in the car is much longer than the time on the ground. In addition to chatting every day, everyone is familiar to each other.

Therefore, there are still some fresh things to do every day, and I can only look forward to Xinghe telling everyone about the mysteries of the universe.

Now Xinghe has become a treasure girl. It doesn’t matter whether you can understand what she says, but as long as you haven’t heard it before, that’s the importance of freshness.

"Xinghe, can you tell me how you treat diseases?"

As a doctor, Wang Ning has long wanted to know what level of medical treatment can be achieved with the technological level of aliens. However, when Zhao Qiang was alive, others did not have the opportunity to have close contact with the galaxy without any barriers.

comminicate.

Now, with Gao Yuan's permission and Li Yang's acquiescence, Xinghe can tell everything she knows, if she is willing.

If we don't do this, it will be really difficult to maintain the morale of this team, and the future will be slim. No one knows how far they can persist. If morale can always be maintained high in this way, it is really unrealistic.

"Medical?"

Xinghe looked at the porridge in the basin, then she put down the porridge basin and said calmly: "After genetic technology reaches a certain level, getting sick will become a very ancient and long-lasting thing for us, because

All newborns undergo genetic screening before they make a sound, and some bad genes will be deleted, so genetic diseases will not exist."

Wang Ning immediately said: "I know that after you arrived on the earth, you stayed in your mecha for a long time because you had to adapt to the earth's environment. So during this period, did you first establish an understanding of the earth's microorganisms?

Adaptability to the environment?”

Xinghe smiled and said: "Yes, I need to build myself an immune system against the earth's environment. This will take a while. Then, I need to inject a certain amount of robots into my body. Real nanoscale robots, similar in size to white blood cells, are distributed in

My subcutaneous tissue, as a supplementary part of my own immune system, if I am invaded by viruses or bacteria, these nanoscale robots will take the initiative to attack, but more importantly, if I suffer trauma, these nanoscale robots will

Repair the broken parts of me.”

Wang Ning said cautiously: "So... can you tell me how the medical warehouse... works?"

Xinghe spread his hands and said: "For you, technology is becoming more and more developed, but for us, because of two consecutive technological interruptions, our technological level has gradually declined, and the medical treatment left on the earth has gradually declined.

The warehouse is a product at the peak of our technology."

Everyone looked at Xinghe, who continued: "First of all, there are a large number of recyclable robots in the medical warehouse. These robots can use human tissue as building materials, cut and transport healthy cells from other intact locations, and reorganize a new one.

Complete organs, and all this is done fully automatically."

Wang Ning nodded repeatedly, his face already showing fascination.

Xinghe continued: "Systemic diseases that are difficult to solve on the earth, such as spreading cancer cells, are not worth mentioning in front of the nanorobots carried in the medical warehouse, but this is only the most basic application method. The value of the medical warehouse lies in this

Not just a medical device, but a small biological laboratory."

"Biological laboratory?"

"The biological laboratory only requires manual operations. If you want to make a vaccine against a certain virus, then you just need to put the virus samples into the medical warehouse. Because we are a civilization that can travel through the universe. What we encounter

There are also various types of viruses, so such a small laboratory must be equipped for every spacecraft."

After Xinghe finished speaking, she thought for a while and said: "Don't ask me how it was made. Your scientists have already asked, but I can only say that other instruments were used to make this medical warehouse and the ultra-micro robot inside.

I don’t understand it at all, because…”

"Because you are just an explorer, not a scientist."

Several people finished the rest of the words for Xinghe, because when Xinghe ends a topic, he always ends with this sentence.

However, this time Wang Ning did not want to end the topic like this. He said thoughtfully: "So your medical treatment focuses on prevention rather than treatment, and mainly uses mechanical rather than chemical power, right?"

Xinghe smiled and said: "You know nothing about the mysteries of the human body. In the early stages of any civilization, it develops in a big direction, such as building bigger cities, making bigger machines, flying higher, and running faster.

Faster, but when you start to develop in the direction of small, you can better understand yourself and the universe. Therefore, big and small are not two opposite directions, but two parallel roads.

"

Xinghe's words seemed very philosophical. Wang Ning said: "What does this mean? Small, how small can it be? Atom? Electron? Proton?"

Only Wang Ning can have this level of dialogue with Xinghe, but obviously, Wang Ning is still not qualified.

Xinghe said something very obscure, because it was her mother tongue. After saying it, she said with a relaxed look: "There is no corresponding language on the earth. I can't describe to you the end we have discovered, but I want to tell you."

, there is no end to the bigness of the universe, but there is also no end to the smallness. It can be close, but there is no end. Do you understand this?"

Wang Ning thought for a while, then nodded: "I understand, but you said that I know nothing about the human body. What do you mean... After all, our current technology is enough for us..."

Xinghe interrupted Wang Ning without hesitation, and said with a serious face: "Human life span is only a few decades, let alone truly understand the mysteries of the human body."

Heavenly beings have achieved near-immortality, so it’s better not to argue with Xinghe about this.

Wang Ning thought for a while and said: "I have another question, that is, if your technology has developed to the point where it can reorganize organs, then it seems that resurrection after death can be achieved, right? For example, even if you are shot in the heart,

So as long as we create a new heart and let it beat again, wouldn't it be possible to resurrect the dead?"

Xinghe shook her head, and then she said seriously: "Yes, but this is not considered resurrection, because what we have never mastered is thought. We can make a person who has been dead for several hours resume breathing, but his brain has become

Blank, this is not as simple as brain death as you think, because even if we maintain the oxygen supply to the brain so that the brain will not die due to lack of oxygen, the dead person still cannot regain his consciousness during life. Why is this happening?

It is a mystery to us, a mystery that still cannot be solved."

Wang Ning frowned and said: "If the oxygen supply to the brain can be maintained and brain death does not occur, then this situation should not occur."

Xinghe smiled, and then she whispered: "So in a word you can understand, we believe in the soul, we don't believe in God, or we think we are gods, but we still believe in the soul, because apart from the soul, we can't

Explain it all."

When it came to this, Wang Ning could still understand it, so he said in confusion: "Sure enough, after science reaches its end, it will become theology."

Xinghe shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong. The reason I have just said is that since science has no end at all, then there is no need to talk about theology after the end."

When it comes to theology, this is Li Shuzi's professional field, so he cheered up and said: "Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature. According to our Taoist theory, if you can

To reach the state of unity between man and nature is to find the great road."

Wang Ning curled his lips slightly, but Xinghe looked at Li Shuzi and said with a smile: "You are right."

Xinghe actually complied with Li Shuzi's words, which surprised everyone, and Wang Ning was especially surprised. But just when Wang Ning wanted to argue or discuss it further, Li Jinjiang said from the side: "I don't want to interrupt
