Chapter 10 Chapter nine

Yuan Zhenxia's heart was full of questions, but he didn't even know how to ask them.Although he is an earthling, and he once boasted that he is not an "ordinary earthling". But his understanding of the earth, compared with the information stored here, is a down-to-earth idiot. The voice was explaining: "There is a crisis on the earth. The creatures that used to live on the earth are almost extinct. Due to the sudden drop in temperature, the temperature on the earth can be estimated from what you see now. The temperature we measured at that time , close to the absolute zero discovered by humans later!"

Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help but let out a groan! The absolute zero "discovered later by humans" is minus 273 degrees Celsius.One or six degrees.In fact, it is impossible to make the temperature of the object so low.However, at that time, the temperature of the entire earth was close to absolute zero! Yuan Zhenxia raised his hand, like a primary school student asking a teacher: "In the low temperature close to absolute zero... the earth... doesn't even have an atmosphere...?" The voice said: "Yes, the atmosphere has become a semi-solidified state, attached to the surface of the earth. At this time, the earth can be said to be ninety-nine percent dead, except for some genes of life, it is basically dead. There is no life. But the genes of life on the earth are so tenaciously preserved in such a death situation. From this we can see that if the environment improves, the advanced life developed by this gene will be very outstanding life!"

Yuan Zhenxia took a deep breath, and then exhaled again. He looked at Maxian beside him, and thought: So the Eros people discovered the earth so early, no wonder they established an "observation zone"! At this time, the moon was no longer visible in the cage of light, so we knew that the spaceship had already passed the moon and was approaching the earth. The voice said: "I omitted the part where we landed on the earth and conducted detailed research, because it is very lengthy, and...you don't understand the process very well." Yuan Zhenxia had no objection to this arrangement, he just asked: "Let me experience the situation on Earth at that time!"

The voice hesitated for a moment: "You can't stand the cold, and you can't see anything, because on the surface of the earth, it's just darkness!" Yuan Zhenxia lost his voice: "Why? Isn't there a sun? The sun's light cannot reach the earth?" The voice said: "At first, we thought that the problem was the earth itself, but after some research, we realized that it was not. There was life on the earth because the distance between the earth and the sun was appropriate, and there were conditions for life to arise. ——Life on Earth originates from the sun!"

Yuan Zhenxia nodded.Life on earth originates from the sun, this is something that every person on earth knows. The voice continued: "The temperature on the earth has dropped to close to absolute zero because something happened to the sun. The crisis on the earth was triggered by the crisis on the sun. At that time, the sun was on the verge of death-this situation, in the It’s very common in the universe, and it’s not uncommon. If a huge star is about to die, we can’t do anything about it, but for a star like the sun, at that time, we already had a way—” Yuan Zhenxia lost his voice: "Save the sun from death?"

From what the voice said, it is inferred that they saved the sun, that is the most natural conclusion! However, after Yuan Zhenxia said this, the voice did not respond for a long time. It wasn't until Yuan Zhenxia got impatient with waiting that the voice answered: "No!" After a while, the voice said: "A dying planet is irreversible!" Yuan Zhenxia spread his hands: "I don't understand, the sun is still there!" The voice became very slow: "The measure we decided at that time was: let the sun die, and then, at the same time, we build a new sun to replace the original sun!"

Yuan Zhenxia was startled suddenly, and shouted: "What? What did you say?" The voice was very calm: "The original real sun is dead, and what replaced the function of the real sun is the fake sun we made!" Yuan Zhenxia was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed uncontrollably.While smiling, he pushed Ma Xian beside him, as if he wanted Ma Xian to laugh with him. Naturally, Ma Xian didn't respond—it made Yuan Zhenxia feel heart-piercingly sad, but that still couldn't stop him from laughing. His laughter sounded like it could be heard far away, he hadn't laughed like this for a long time!

He laughed for several minutes before he gradually stopped laughing, but he was still out of breath. The voice said coldly: "You laugh like this, do you mean that you don't believe what I said? Originally, I didn't intend to disclose all this to the people on Earth. It was the three-crystal star robot who insisted again and again that you had the opportunity to know Content. Since you are not interested, forget it!" Yuan Zhenxia didn't expect the data device to be "angry", so he calmed down and said: "I'm sorry, because everything you told me is beyond the range I can accept - our sun is fake? Haha, I'm sorry , I can't help laughing again!"

At this time, what Yuan Zhenxia saw in front of his eyes was a gray-white earth.Of course, he can also see the sun, which is indeed different from the sun he is familiar with—everyone on the earth, regardless of his status, wisdom or stupidity, sees the same sun.The sun is so strong that it cannot be stared at; the sun symbolizes the supreme authority, and the supreme god in Greek mythology is the sun god. The sun is also the object of human worship since ancient times. The sun has bred and bred all things; with the sun, there is the earth and all life.The relationship between human beings and the sun is a relationship of life and death.

Yuan Zhenxia is a member of the earth's people, and naturally, like all earth people, he is not familiar with his own sun - he just called the sun "our sun" very naturally! However, the sun he saw at this time was not the sun he was familiar with.Although there is also light, but the light is very dim, and there is no feeling of blazing heat.Like a large group of molten iron that has been released for a long time, it has passed its white-hot stage and is in the stage of gradual cooling, so this situation occurs. When Yuan Zhenxia saw this scene, he could accept it. It was the record when the sun was on the verge of death; it was the real scene recorded after Eros entered the solar system.

However, he still couldn't accept that the Eros people created a fake sun to replace the original sun! What he can't accept is actually not just the fact that "a fake sun has replaced the real sun", but there are many other problems that come with it.The most immediate question is: What about life on Earth?Or, to put it more bluntly: what about Earthlings? The earth was in an ice age close to absolute zero. According to the Eros people, there were only some "life genes" at that time, and they survived tenaciously.Later, all creatures on the earth, including people on earth, naturally developed from these surviving genes. However, the reason why those surviving life genes have the opportunity to develop into advanced life is not because of the original sun, but because of a fake sun! As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Zhenxia's thoughts naturally fell into an abyss of extreme disorder.He didn't know how he should conceive at all. On the contrary, many messy and extremely weird thoughts came and went, ups and downs. For example, his first thought was artificially hatched eggs -- heated by electricity, the chicks hatched, not naturally hatched by the hen.He thought of test-tube babies, artificial insemination, and life grown in a laboratory.In the end, what he thought of was: since the sun is fake, then all creatures on the earth are also fake? This includes the earthlings—there are earthlings with a fake sun, so are the earthlings real or fake? Thinking of this, Yuan Zhenxia was even more at a loss, he felt extremely helpless.He held Ma Xian's hand tightly and looked at Ma Xian, hoping that Ma Xian could think about this issue with him. Of course, Ma Xian didn't react at all - at that moment, Yuan Zhenxia even felt that he couldn't think about anything, he was really blessed! During the time when his thoughts were extremely disordered, the voice never sounded, as if he specially set aside a time for Yuan Zhenxia to think deeply. But Yuan Zhenxia stared at the three-dimensional projection, his eyes were straight, his thinking had no result at all—it can't be said that there was no result at all, and the result was that he groaned. The voice came again at this time: "The previous decision is justified: people on earth are absolutely not suitable for obtaining the content of this material. It seems that you can't accept it either, why don't you stop here, okay?" Yuan Zhenxia groaned again, and he shouted hoarsely: "No! You have already let me know, so let me keep watching!" The voice was silent for a moment: "That also depends on how much you can comprehend and accept!" Yuan Zhenxia managed to gather his composure: "Please disclose to me as much as possible!" The voice corrected Yuan Zhenxia's words: "It's not to disclose as much as possible, but to let you know everything! You must know that I'm just explaining the information, and I don't ask you to accept it!" Yuan Zhenxia felt that there was a heavy pressure in his heart, and it was very painful. He took a few deep breaths and said: "Okay, I will listen first and then I will talk. Just now, I am sorry to interrupt your explanation. You said... so Your sun is dying, and you made another sun!" The voice said: "Yes, as you can see, how long do you think this sun can survive?" Yuan Zhenxia shook his head naturally. The voice said: "The sun is a large mass of matter that is constantly undergoing nuclear fusion. From the day it exists, there will always be an end. We estimate that if we are a little late, then we can survive on the earth near absolute zero." The genes of life in the universe will no longer exist. In the end, the sun will no longer have light and heat, and the entire solar system, like most galaxies in the universe, will no longer have any life, just dead silence!" Yuan Zhenxia took a breath, he was still staring at the earth at that time, the earth whose surface temperature was close to absolute zero, was dead silent at that time! The voice said again: "After we discovered that the surviving life genes can develop into advanced life, we started to create another sun next to the original sun. You can watch the formation process of this sun. We have gathered The material for nuclear fusion is mainly hydrogen, let it gather together for nuclear fusion. At the beginning, naturally, the temperature cannot be raised too high, and two suns coexist.” At this time, Yuan Zhenxia saw that there was an extra sun beside the original eclipsed sun. His thoughts became confused again, and what he thought of was: "There are no two suns" is not correct, but there was a period when two suns appeared at the same time.Although one is true and the other is false, it is true that there have been two suns coexisting! He also thought that in Chinese myths and legends, there were originally ten suns in the sky, but a man named Hou Yi shot down nine of them with a magic arrow.Only one sun was left, and since then, the earth has been able to enjoy good weather, and through the sunshine, all things grow and nourish. He thought again, is the ancient legend about the sun due to the induction of life genes that survived on the earth at that time?And this kind of induction has become a part of the genetic factors of life, so that when life becomes more and more advanced, it forms a myth! When Yuan Zhenxia was thinking wildly, he saw that the original sun was getting darker and darker, while the other sun was getting brighter and brighter.In the end, the original sun became dark, and after forming a maelstrom, it flew away in all directions. When the maelstrom disintegrated, there was still a faint light shining, but in the blink of an eye, it flew around at a very high speed, and it was no longer visible. The scene was extremely strange, and the sun created by the Eros star was not as bright as the sun Yuan Zhenxia was familiar with—it was not as bright. At this time, the voice began to explain again: "The intensity and heat of the sun's light are gradual. If it reaches the level set later, on the surface of the earth near absolute zero, a terrible catastrophe will occur, and life will be lost." Opportunity was born!" Yuan Zhenxia clenched his fists tightly. What he was thinking in his heart was: the Eros created a sun, and gradually ended the ice age on the earth, so that there was life on the earth again.So, can it be said that the life on the earth was created by Eros people? Yuan Zhenxia could clearly see the changes taking place on the earth. At this time, what he heard was the voice saying: "As you saw just now, the original sun has been scattered. The part that has been separated has become the solar system and the solar system." Wanderers in the Milky Way, where the solar system is located, sometimes come very close to Earth—" When Yuan Zhenxia heard this, he suddenly shouted: "Comets! We call them comets!" The voice said: "Yes, you call these parts that were originally the sun comets. Well, now, you can see the changes on the surface of the earth! First of all, the liquefied atmosphere has returned to the form of gas! Under the dense atmosphere, although the earth is still gray and white, it seems that business has already been bred." Gradually, on Earth, some blue was seen.Blue first appeared in the middle of the earth, which is the area that receives the most sunlight on the earth. This area now has a special term: the equator. When the blue color gradually increased, clouds began to appear in the atmosphere.The blue is the sea. The water evaporated by the flow of sea water becomes clouds, and when the clouds become thicker, they will turn into water again and land on the surface of the earth. The falling rain and the gradually strengthening sunlight caused the ice on the land to begin to melt. The voice was explaining: "The change you see every second is equivalent to 10,000 years at that time. At this time, all the glaciers melted, leaving only the ice sheets of the Antarctic and Arctic, and the land that should be revealed on the earth , are all revealed. You can see that there is only a very slight difference between it and the current appearance, and it cannot be distinguished by the naked eye unless it is measured with a precision instrument!" The earth presented to Yuan Zhenxia is indeed the earth he is familiar with.From the time of the change of the earth just now, according to the explanation of the voice, he deduced that the time for the earth to wake up from the ice age is about 300,000 years. It took the Eros people 300,000 years to bring the earth back to life from the brink of death.Without them, the earth would have died long ago! At this time, Yuan Zhenxia felt an inexplicable emotion. As a person on earth, he should be grateful to the creator of the sun and the savior of the earth.But among the people on Earth, he is the only one who knows this mystery, the biggest mystery related to the earth! He couldn't help shouting: "I want to announce everything I have learned here to all mankind!" The voice didn't seem to be infected by Yuan Zhenxia's gratitude, but said: "I'll talk about it after you get all the information." Yuan Zhenxia pointed to the earth: "Three hundred thousand years! Eros people have spent three hundred thousand years saving the earth!" The voice laughed: "You are very confused. It is true that during this period, the earth has indeed revolved around the created sun for more than 300,000 times. The eleven major planets and their satellites in the solar system, The orbit around the sun remains unchanged. This is a more difficult part of the process of creating a fake sun. We felt that it was difficult to complete it independently, so we first established an "observation zone"-in fact, this was a very vast contact area at the beginning, which is convenient Contact the astronauts of various planets. People from at least seven planets have helped us, and this has successfully solved the problem!" Only then did Yuan Zhenxia know that the establishment of the "observation zone" was so long ago! The voice said again: "We have set up various devices on the 'observation zone', and they will observe and record the changes that have occurred on the earth, while we continue to roam the universe. Various devices will regularly collect the data on the changes that have occurred on the earth. , report to us!" Yuan Zhenxia said "ah": "At this time, life must have multiplied on the earth, and the most primitive life form started? Did it evolve into trilobites and dinosaurs later?" When Yuan Zhenxia spoke, although he used a questioning tone, based on his knowledge, he expected that the other party's answer must be in the affirmative, because the entire human race thinks that the origin of life is like this! However, the strange thing is that Yuan Zhenxia thought that the other party only needed to say "yes" to this question, and after waiting for a long time, he still did not answer. Yuan Zhenxia was very suspicious, but at this moment, he was in a very good mood, and his emotions were also in a state of excitement.He half turned around, kissed Ma Xian on the face, and said, "Ma Xian, listen, I probably asked another stupid question!" Of course Ma Xian would not respond, and in fact, what Yuan Zhenxia said was not for Ma Xian at all, but for that voice. This time, there was an immediate response: "It's not that the question is stupid, it's that the question is more complicated, but if you explain it in detail, you can still understand it-the primitive life you mentioned, such as trilobites, dinosaurs, etc., has nothing to do with this new question." The matter of the sun. That is the work of the last sun, the sun that has died and turned into many comets!" Yuan Zhenxia let out an "ah" and took a deep breath.Although he understood, he still had an extremely strange feeling. Indeed, since human beings have studied the origin of life and the evolution of organisms, they have only excavated data on fossils and made assumptions and demonstrations. No one has seen living trilobites or living dinosaurs. It is also very unreliable to judge the life age of trilobites or dinosaurs from fossils-the earth has been in ice close to absolute zero for millions of years, or even tens of millions of years.Under such circumstances, even if the earth has never died, it has hibernated for a long time. How can the correct year be deduced from the fossils? All the fossils of ancient organisms, according to the explanations heard now, were all produced under the conditions of the original sun! When Yuan Zhenxia thought of this, his body shook suddenly, and he thought of an extremely important key question: Where are people?Among the lives conceived by the original sun, is there anyone? Were there people on Earth before the Ice Age? Yuan Zhenxia held his breath, but he still paused and raised this question. Another long silence.And later, what Yuan Zhenxia got was not a direct answer: "I have already said at the beginning that although the original sun bred and bred thousands of creatures on the earth, it does not have the conditions to produce advanced creatures. If we continue to develop and reach the stage of apes, we will no longer be able to break through!" Yuan Zhenxia waved his hands unconsciously for a moment, but when he retracted his hands, he didn't know where to put them, so he had to wave his hands again.His mind was in chaos, and it took him a while before he could ask: "The people on Earth... were...created by... Eros people?" The voice said in a very positive tone: "It can be said that we have transferred the genetic code of life that an advanced creature must have into the ape. This work is not difficult for us. Therefore, the earth There are people in the world, with the conditions of advanced creatures, able to think and act!" Yuan Zhenxia's voice was extremely bitter: "So the appearance of a human is similar to that of an ape?" The voice immediately replied: "This is a great misunderstanding. The genes we inject come from the Eros people themselves. We use our own genes to create humans. Therefore, the appearance of the earth humans is exactly the same as ours. It is a pity that we I did one thing wrong...or rather, neglected one thing!" When Yuan Zhenxia heard this, he didn't even have the energy to moan.He only felt that his body seemed to be floating upwards, and he didn't know where it would go.This feeling of vanity is naturally caused by the extreme psychological shock-the Eros people not only created a new sun and saved the earth from the ice, but also created the people on earth.Using their genes, a new advanced creature was created on the earth: human beings! He gestured feebly that he needed to know more. The voice suddenly sighed: "When we were carrying out gene injection, the group of people who carried out the process landed on the earth in a giant spaceship, and chose a kind of ape that they thought was suitable for this work. Everything After precise calculations, it is estimated that in about 10,000 years, the genes will be naturally strengthened generation by generation, and the advanced creature "human" will be produced. Therefore, the spaceship will leave, and it will come back to observe at that time!" Yuan Zhenxia closed his eyes. He is a doctor, so he naturally connected this scene with the use of greenhouses to cultivate bacteria in the laboratory.Or, more advanced, genetically altering the life of fruit flies or mice to cause upheaval. Man is made in such a way!Not only from a fake sun, but also from artificial gene transplantation! The voice sighed again——Yuan Zhenxia didn't understand why the voice sighed again and again, his own thoughts were extremely disordered, and he didn't have the mind to pursue it.Of course, he soon understood the reason for the sigh of the voice (representing the Eros).It said: "When the spacecraft left the earth, everyone thought that after 10,000 years, the advanced creatures that would appear on the earth would have the same appearance as the Eros people, and naturally everything would be the same as the Eros people. Then After tens of thousands of years, the people on Earth will progress to the same level as the Eros people. We are very happy that we have done a good thing for the universe.” The voice paused at this point, and then let out another long, very sad sigh. At this moment, Yuan Zhenxia suddenly remembered that the God of Cupid he had seen again and again was naturally from the Planet of Cupids.Appears to be a splendid beauty, as beauties on earth. However, the behavior of the people on earth is not like the Eros people at all.The Eros people are kind and full of love, they don’t know what deceit is, and they have all the virtues, but the people on Earth——he said in a very deep voice: “Even in appearance, the people on Earth and the people on Eros are the same, but they are different inside. what!" The voice said: "This is our negligence. We think that our life genes can determine everything, but we didn't estimate that the self-developing organisms on the earth, their own life genes, are also developing. Therefore, the complex formation of human beings on earth is formed. The inner character, good and evil—Eros genes and Earth genes are intertwined, alas! Unclear, as to the extreme!" Yuan Zhenxia opened his mouth wide and let out a "hehe" sound, which made no sense at all. The voice continued: "Earth people themselves know this, and admit that humans have human nature as well as animal nature. After we left that time, we came back after a lapse of 100,000 years, thinking that the earth people have created a considerable degree of civilization. Know that what we see is Earthlings killing each other!" Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "People on Earth have been used to it for a long time! It turns out... this is also a gift from you? Your actions have determined the character and behavior of people on Earth, making a history of mankind a history of cruelty overcoming goodness! " The voice was silent for a while: "It's not very fair to us if you say it like this-this will be discussed later. Do you want to listen to my explanation in order? That is easier to understand!" Yuan Zhenxia took a deep breath. Beforehand, he never imagined that the so-called "biggest mystery of the earth" also includes "the greatest mystery of human beings": the earthlings were born under such circumstances! In Yuan Zhenxia's messy thoughts, he also thought that human beings have been exploring their own origin, first with religious theories, and later with Darwin's theory of evolution. Although Darwin's theory of evolution has been generally accepted, the theory that "apes evolved into humans" also has its ambiguities.First of all, there are no fossils to prove this point - the evolution process from ape to man is estimated to be 5 million to 10 million years. During this long period of time, there should be creatures between man and ape exist, and there should be fossils left.However, none of them have been discovered. Instead, fossils of primitive people have been discovered many times.Therefore, there is also a theory, although it supports the principle of "changing from ape to man", they all believe that it is not a gradual change, but a mutation! Second, what is ambiguous about the theory of evolution is: For what reason did the evolution from apes to humans stop?Why did ancient apes evolve into ancient humans, but modern apes cannot? It is obviously unreasonable to say that evolution only took place in ancient times and stopped in modern times. But now, the Eros people told him the origin of human beings, and the formation of the complex personality of humans, all are the "masterpieces" of the Eros people, it is really a mess!So he naturally expressed his dissatisfaction! The voice did not avoid his dissatisfaction, and was ready to discuss it with him, but suggested that he accept the explanations first--this kind of proposal, Yuan Zhenxia could naturally accept, he snorted, and said nothing more. The voice sounded very emotional: "We never imagined that the original plan would become like this. When we saw the heinous situation of human beings killing each other and violating the same kind with violence, all of us, I was so shocked that I didn't know what happened!" Yuan Zhenxia muttered: "With the development of human civilization, there are still many non-violent violations against the same kind!" The voice said "Oh", obviously agreeing with Yuan Zhenxia's statement, and added more directly: "Yes, but at that time, we didn't know that the human heart contained so much ugliness. Looking at the behavior alone, we have already made us wonder what happened-of course, it didn't take long before we knew where the mistake was, and there was a heated argument between us at that time!" Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help shaking, and with his imagination, he could also know what the Eros people were arguing about at that time!He lowered his voice very low: "Have you ever thought of...to destroy human beings?" The voice sighed again: "It's not us—when building another sun, there were people from several different planets who helped us. One of them, who happened to be with us, saw the situation of the advanced creatures on the earth." , and knew that the production of this kind of advanced life was related to us, so he proposed that we should completely wipe out this kind of advanced life.” Yuan Zhenxia expressed his dissatisfaction again: "The 'high-level creature' you are talking about has an official name: 'human'! And the human life code contains your life gene." The voice ignored Yuan Zhenxia's protest, but changed the name: "This proposal to completely wipe out people shocked us, because in our concept, there is absolutely no way to kill another life this time. What’s more, at that time, the number of people was quite large, and it was unimaginable to wipe them all out, so of course we opposed it!” Yuan Zhenxia said in a deep voice: "In the end, you won?" There was a meaningless cooing from the voice—perhaps in Eros's language, the sound had another meaning.It said again: "It's hard to say what the outcome is, because although the reasons we held at the time convinced the other party, but... until now, it has not become a reality!" Yuan Zhenxia was very curious: "What reason do you have to keep this kind of interstellar life genetically mixed monster!" The voice paused every word: "Confidence, a kind of strong confidence in our own life genes. Since the appearance of people on earth has become the same as us due to our life genes, then human thoughts and behaviors will naturally be the same as us." Can be like us!" Yuan Zhenxia sneered: "Your confidence seems to be just wishful thinking!" The voice said: "You are a member of the people of the earth. Of course, you are well aware of the thoughts and behaviors of the people on the earth. You must not deny that the role of our life genes is constantly increasing. Human behavior is always improving. , like blatant slavery, has it not been overthrown?" Yuan Zhenxia said in a loud voice: "But slavery in disguise, isn't it still ruling half of the population?" The voice said: "The struggle between light and darkness, good and evil is long-term. In fact, it is a struggle between two life genes in human thought and behavior. We are confident that the life from Eros Gene, will definitely win!" Yuan Zhenxia, ​​as a person from the earth, felt as if he had overturned the five-flavored shelf in his heart at this time, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and all kinds of tastes. He couldn't help but said: "So you are still idealists!"
