Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Rise of Man

"Tell me everything you know." Cao Cang said, "I am now like you, and I am no longer just carrying the mission of the country. If you need help, don't hide anything from me." "I overestimated your IQ and analytical skills," Miller said. "My intention was for you to come up with this answer yourself. It appears that you have not." "I only have high school culture, and I didn't learn much knowledge when I was studying." Miller looked at Cao Cang for a while, and slowly began to speak: "Humans evolved from apes. This is an undoubted fact, but humans cannot live on the earth forever. The environment of the earth will deteriorate, even if Remus The success of their plan with Mike will not change the final outcome."

"Is your statement too absolute?" Cao Cang said, "If human beings realize the importance of the environment, change the way of development, and no longer exploit the earth predatoryly, human beings should be able to continue to survive." "Yes, this is the position that Mike and the others insist on." Miller shrugged, "It is undeniable that at a certain level, they are very correct... However, whether it is human beings or the earth, the ultimate fate is still destruction. There is a limit to the principle that Mike and the others insist on." "What limitation?" Cao Cang asked.

"time." Cao Cang understood immediately. Miller continued: "Yes, humans improve the environment on the earth. The earth can support the development of human populations as much as possible, and this possibility can be extended indefinitely. But how long will it be extended? One thousand years, ten thousand years, one hundred million years Is it enough? But in the end, human beings and the earth, even the solar system and the Milky Way, will go to extinction. And human beings may not be able to wait so long. The energy level of the sun is slightly higher than normal, and all life on the earth will become extinct; If the orbit is slightly deviated, the ecology of the earth will be completely changed; there are also asteroids and meteorites everywhere in the universe... Do you know how many meteorites hit the earth every day? If one day, a meteorite with a very large mass Entering the orbit of the earth... and the geological changes of the earth itself... Can humans bear these disasters? There is only one reason why humans have not encountered these devastating disasters!"

"The reason is time." Cao Cang replied helplessly. "Yes, it is time. From the perspective of the universe, the time for humans to appear on the earth is very short. Even if it is hundreds of thousands of years, it is only a moment. Humans have not encountered devastating disasters. It is not good luck , but that humans have not existed long enough.” "When the time scale is stretched to the scale of millions and tens of millions of years, the possibility of encountering such a disaster is inevitable." Cao Cang further understood Miller's meaning. "The history of human development in the universe is actually a process of constantly getting out of trouble. But because of the limitation of the speed of light, human beings will never be able to colonize space in the universe."

Cao Cang nodded and said, "But this kind of spatial displacement is relatively simple. It is more feasible than the movement of space in the universe." "That's what humanity is trying to keep going," Miller said. "But I don't want to understand something." Cao Cang said, "How did humans realize this? What does all this have to do with the rock paintings in those potholes? This pocket watch is not a work of humans at all." "What if we're not human?" Miller said darkly. "What if we're another creature?" Cao Cang's head buzzed, and his thoughts became confused.

"If I tell you that it is impossible for the environment on the earth to produce intelligent life, what do you think?" Miller continued, ignoring Cao Cang, who was already on the verge of collapse, "If there is no biological space to colonize the earth, what would you think?" Will there never be civilization?" Cao Cang began to think of those petroglyphs again.The contents of those petroglyphs can now be determined, and they are basically descriptions of different space universes.Each painting represents a space.Why do human beings think about leaving the earth all the time from the beginning of consciousness?It's an instinct built into your genes.But no one has ever thought about the reason for this instinct.Human beings are constantly exploring the universe and conducting experiments into different seas. The only explanation is that human beings cannot stay on the earth forever.However, no one has ever said why humans do this!

"What the hell are we?" "We are apes, but we have been elevated. The process of ascension is the ascension of humans." "Human ascension?" Cao Cang had never heard of this theory. "Humans are separated from the category of animals only in terms of IQ and level of consciousness." Miller said, "Humans' physiological attributes are still mammals, but humans are different from ordinary animals. This difference is that humans have produced consciousness. .And because of the generation of consciousness, and then the generation of wisdom. Do you think this kind of leap mutation can be realized by the development of apes themselves?"

"People's ascension is due to external factors!" Cao Cang finally got rid of the control of his subconscious mind and calmly faced this terrible reality. "The ancestors of human beings, a group of apes, suddenly gave up the comfortable jungle life. Of course, there are reasons for environmental changes, but this reason is by no means the main reason. Because those apes who have not left the African jungle have continued until now. They are all active in the habitat in central Africa." Miller looked at Cao Cang and said. Cao Cang's mood gradually calmed down, and he began to follow Miller's thinking. "You mean, there must be intelligent creatures from another world who used some means to improve the intelligence of the apes, so that the intelligence of this part of the apes was improved and began to evolve towards humans?" Cao Cang said.

"It's a very big turning point," Miller said. "There's no doubt it happened." "In this way, we are all the experimental products of that kind of intelligent creatures, and everything humans do is done under the secret guidance of that advanced civilization?" Cao Cang said, "We humans have undergone tens of thousands of years of physiological After evolution and psychological evolution, a sufficient number of individuals have been reproduced through agricultural society, and on this basis, it finally entered the industrial revolution in modern times, and technology began to develop rapidly in modern times..."

Miller nodded and signaled Cao Cang to continue. "We Chinese have an idiom called thick accumulation and thin hair. Human beings have slowly accumulated technology and cultural knowledge in the past tens of thousands of years of reproduction, for today. Now human technology is gradually mature, and finally able to explore the universe and travel across space. Try, all of this is definitely not an unconscious behavior." Cao Cang shuddered, "Obviously, there is an invisible hand manipulating the direction of human development." "So far, your speculation is the same as mine." Miller agreed with Cao Cang's statement.

"Why do they do this?" Cao Cang said, "We are just their experiments. What is their purpose? Treat us as playthings, watch us develop from low creatures to advanced animals, just to get something from it." Some sense of satisfaction?" "Of course not," Miller said. "They had to." "I have to?" When Cao Cang heard this sentence, all the relevant information flashed in his head. "The continuation of the nation." Before Cao Cang entered the different sea, an old man said to him. "Build a new society," said Remus. "We're brothers!" Joshua said. Aztec sun world and moon world. The petroglyphs, the petroglyphs of the potholes, that set of pictures. Cao Cang's mind was finally completely clear, and he said to Miller, "I asked you, what are we?" Miller replied quickly: "We are them." "How did they do it?" Cao Cang asked the last question. Miller said: "I showed you those petroglyphs to let you understand that there is more than one universe, and parallel spaces exist universally. But every universe has a process from birth to death. When a universe in a certain space is born After the intelligent life, in order to get rid of the fate of perishing with the universe, what they have to do is to keep migrating, jumping space migration. Of course, moving in any inner space of the universe can continue this civilization time for a long time. But movement within a universe would be limited by the speed of light, making such internal displacements only theoretical." "Comparatively speaking, traveling in parallel spaces is more feasible. This is the conclusion they came to," Cao Cang said. "Have you ever thought about it, they don't just choose one way or the other," Miller said. "Yes." Cao Cang suddenly realized, "Who said that the two ways of exploring the universe and moving to parallel spaces are in conflict with each other, and intelligent creatures can work hard in these two directions at the same time! And that's exactly what humans do. .” "Okay, what I want to say now is just my speculation, and I will tell you the answer in my own way," Miller said. "I'm listening." Miller began to speak slowly again: "If, what I'm talking about is if, hundreds of millions of years ago, or billions of years ago, maybe just tens of millions of years ago, I can't define this time base, because each The time scale of space is inconsistent, and you should know what I mean. In a universe in a parallel space, a kind of intelligent civilization finally emerged. The way of existence of this civilization must be beyond our understanding. , and cannot know the structure and manifestation of that civilization. This civilization has gradually evolved to a very high level, and they are aware of their environment and will gradually perish. Of course, there is another situation where they are aware of their existence. The environment is about to face catastrophe. What will they do?" "Of course I won't sit still." Cao Cang said, "I will try my best to escape like we are now." "So they made all kinds of efforts to leave their homes." Miller said, "Maybe they didn't discover the existence of parallel spaces at the beginning, and they realized a technology that spans spaces, allowing their own civilization individuals to carry out long-term Displacement of distance. Space folding is the most feasible method among them. Only this method can break away from the limitation of the speed of light and allow individuals to move over long distances... But this method gave them an unexpected ending." "The ending is that they found that after the technological migration of space folding, they went to another parallel space, and the universe was no longer the one they were in." "When Columbus discovered the American continent, until his death, he believed that what he discovered was the eastern Indian continent, not a new world." "That's right!" Cao Cang said, "That higher civilization must not have discovered that they have crossed the entire universe during the initial space displacement. They must have realized this after many times of folding space displacement. .” "When they realize this, they use all their technological power to develop this technology," Miller said, "so this technology becomes more and more mature. Later, once they find that the living space they live in is about to collapse. If there is any sign, they immediately use the space folding technology to run to the next parallel space. Even later, whenever they enter a new space environment, they are ready to enter the next destination. This is already an instinct of them. Time In the past, I think they have slowly discarded all their technology in the traversal of countless cosmic spaces, leaving only the space-crossing technology and a part of their ability to adapt to different environments." "The worlds they have experienced include ionic worlds, water worlds, terrestrial worlds, and many worlds in physical forms that we cannot understand." Cao Cang said, "The petroglyphs are their memories." "During the long process of spatial migration, they changed their forms. They had to do this in order to adapt to different environments. They would eventually develop into forms that they could not predict. They had to abandon their complex physiological characteristics , making their physiological structure infinitely close to the original form. The simpler the life form, the better it can adapt to the new living environment. This is the ending they cannot choose." Miller paused and asked Cao Cang, "What kind of life form is closest to primitive life?" "Some kind of simple creature." Cao Cang understood, and stretched out his arm, "like green algae." "You're thinking in the right direction, but the shape of green algae is still too complicated for them," Miller said. "Their shape should be simpler than green algae, although green algae and their way of life are already similar." "We humans are parasitized by them!" Cao Cang's eyes widened, "They are a kind of parasite!" Miller didn't care about Cao Cang's astonishment, maybe this secret had been buried in his heart for too long, he needed someone to confide in, and maybe Cao Cang was the first person who could accept this fact. "They're not parasites," Miller said. "'Symbiont' would be a better way to describe them. And as I said, we are them. Every theory you use here, talking to me, stands Based on the scientific and technological achievements of human beings for tens of thousands of years. Can our close relatives, the gorillas in the jungle, be able to do it? The difference between us and apes and other species on the earth is that we have consciousness. Who are we? " Cao Cang was dripping with cold sweat, this feeling was really terrifying!When a person is suddenly told that he is not himself, but another incomprehensible life form, no one can immediately accept it. "The genes of green algae can fuse with our body so smoothly." Cao Cang said with a wry smile, "It's not that the green algae is parasitic on our body, but we take the initiative to fuse with the green algae. This ability comes from a certain living body The instinct of continuation is to be able to adapt to the new environment as much as possible.” "What surprised me even more is that you are the one who can adapt the most." Miller said, "You have been able to survive in sea water without needing to take a breath." "Why can't those associated with the Freemasons accept the Chlorella gene?" "That's why I want to go back." Miller said, "Now you also know that this kind of intelligent creature that coexists with humans has different effects on different individuals." "This is the reason why human beings have different positions on the process of entering the different sea." Cao Cang said, "Because of the degree of influence of this kind of intelligent creature on human beings, it has led to differences among human beings, and this difference has been going on since the ascension of human beings." exist." Miller said: "They have gone through countless spatial displacements and finally entered the earth. They finally chose primates on earth. One thing I have always wondered is why they did not choose cetaceans living in the sea. From physiological From the angle of choice, the brains of cetaceans are bigger and can hold more information. And the living environment of different seas is more suitable for the survival of cetaceans." "Maybe that's the case." Cao Cang thought for a while, and said, "They have gradually abandoned their own forms during countless space leaps. They are used to co-existing with creatures in the new environment. The life forms they choose, individuals cannot Individuals that are too large and too large are not suitable for changes in the environment. Individuals that are too small cannot meet their requirements in terms of brain capacity and cannot inherit their consciousness and memory." "It should be like this." Miller said, "Their previous process was very smooth, until they came to Earth, they faced danger that they had never encountered before." "What danger?" "They underestimated humans!" Miller said. "underestimate?" "After they lived with our biological ancestors, they found that humans were not the best choice for them." Miller said, "Humans were not only not completely controlled by them, but gradually assimilated them. Humans absorbed part of their intelligence. , but not controlled as they intended." "They have lost too much memory and technological knowledge." Cao Cang said, "They may not even know why they have to keep moving in different spaces. It is only because of instinct that they do all this. Their shape is also used to it." Symbiosis, they have to depend on humans." "Things become clear after analysis." Miller said, "Most human beings in the world, after accepting the process of human ascension, have escaped their control in an unconscious state, removed their memories, and retained Genes that are beneficial to human beings. But there are still some people who haven't done it. This part of people is the ancestors of the pocket watch family!" "What kind of existence are they?" Cao Cang asked, "I'm talking about after they entered the earth." "According to my inference, before they entered the earth, they had already adapted to the parasitic or symbiotic life form in the living environment of the last space. This form is very suitable for space crossing." "This kind of life form cannot manipulate high-tech machines to shuttle between spaces." Cao Cang raised this question, "The form of microorganisms cannot do this." "Of course they manipulated parasitic life forms to enter the earth." Miller replied, "but after entering the earth, they immediately abandoned that kind of creatures. They have to choose animals that are more adaptable to the environment in order to continue their memory and civilization." "This is the reason why you want to return to Earth. You are afraid that humans will be their carriers and will be abandoned by them after entering the alien sea." Cao Cang said, "But it seems that human beings can adapt to the environment of the alien sea." "Yes, that's it. This is what they are most afraid of. Human beings' ability to adapt is too powerful, beyond their imagination." "They are afraid that they will not be able to get rid of humans." Cao Cang said, "Yes, they have become very lazy. If it is not forced by the situation, they will not give up the symbiosis easily. It is very likely that before they enter the earth, they have already It is a habit to move through different spaces on a symbiont. Only when it is absolutely necessary, will the carrier be re-selected." "Obviously, they were very satisfied with choosing human individuals at first. But after a long time, they realized that they were wrong." "Humanity has become hostile." Cao Cang nodded. "They parasitize comfortably on humans, and then change the IQ of humans, waiting for humans to be used as their tools to achieve their goals. For example, in the consciousness of humans, they teach humans to make tools, use fire, preserve fire, and let humans invent smelting Technology. Then human beings take the initiative to improve their living environment and prolong the lifespan of individuals. Only when the lifespan of an individual reaches a certain period of time can civilization gradually develop. Then in the later stage, there is no need for them to continue to guide, and human intelligence can be autonomous develop in the desired direction.” "But when did they find out they made that mistake?" "From the time when human beings really possessed civilization." Miller said, "It should be more than 10,000 years ago that human beings started their own civilization. During this period, they must have thought that their direction was correct, for example, they were still following the My own ideas change human beings. For example, many human relics, those ancient civilization relics are still incomprehensible to human beings. At this time, human beings have a civilization break." "They realized that this is not the chronology of human civilization." Cao Cang said, "It should be that the direction of civilization has changed. After that, human society is moving towards the direction of human development. Before the crossroads, Humans have taken another path. However, there is one thing I don’t understand, why do humans turn their backs and establish their own consciousness?” "What we say now is our speculation." Miller said, "I have to go back to Earth to find out these things. What we talk about here is actually based on our fantasy, but Find the most realistic possibility based on logic." Cao Cang nodded in agreement. "They have lived with apes for a long time, maybe hundreds of thousands of years. When it was more than 10,000 BC, human civilization finally took shape. They suddenly realized that almost all human beings were no longer affected Their control. At this time, what will they do?" "They will gather the humans who are still under their control, agree to keep the pocket watch secret, and then disperse these remaining symbionts to all corners of the earth. All they have to do is wait. For example, the pocket watch family is There is no part of the human population that is out of control. The reason they want to do this is because humans have begun to kill each other. The reason for the killing is simple. Humans have developed an independent consciousness, and humans have an instinct that can never be changed-to exclude dissidents !" Miller said: "You finally begin to understand that these things that humans do do not start after they have independent consciousness. At the beginning, humans were just as a parasite, but gradually the human body merged with them, and humans and humans This kind of organism has gradually evolved from a parasitic relationship to a symbiotic relationship. However, human beings still feel that they cannot adapt. For example, it is like getting sand in the eyes. Even if there is no adverse effect on the human body, people still feel uncomfortable. Comfortable. It is very likely that human beings were silently resisting this kind of life at the very beginning, using their own instincts to resist. The process of human evolution is not only a process of adapting to the external environment, but also constantly resisting inside the body. Use a A covert way to resist is to assimilate this living body step by step." "Your idea is too exaggerated!" Cao Cang said, "Is there any theoretical support?" "Yes!" Miller said firmly. Cao Cang waited for Miller to tell his theory. "When they entered the earth, they must not have discovered that all creatures on the earth, every species, developed from a symbiotic life structure." Cao Cang asked, "I didn't understand." "Do you think that if a person ignores this kind of intelligent creature, he really only exists as a human being?" "Is not it?" "Of course not." Miller said, "Millions of years ago, or even tens of millions of years ago, all living things began to co-exist. All living things are a collection of many kinds of life forms. Human beings are still the main body." For example, there are many bacteria on the surface of your body, and these bacteria will live on your body for a lifetime. In your large intestine, there is a kind of bacteria—E. coli... When these bacteria first parasitize the human body, they are harmful to the human body Yes, but the way humans deal with these foreign organisms is not to get rid of them, but to gradually change them. Now the bacteria on the surface of your skin will protect your skin. The E. coli in your body will help you digest food. But these Alien life forms are all produced in the later stages of human development. There is a kind of alien life form that has begun to co-exist with animal bodies a long time ago." "It's also a kind of bacteria?" Cao Cang asked. "No, they are simpler in structure than bacteria." Miller said, "They are absorbed by the animal's body, and in the end, they exist completely for the function of the animal's body. That kind of independent life, the 19th century. Humans discovered and gave them a name - mitochondria." "Mitochondria?" Cao Cang couldn't understand this unfamiliar term, so he just imitated Miller and said it. "Mitochondria are an independent life, they have their own genes, but they have completely integrated with us, they convert energy for us, and do all this silently inside our body. Without mitochondria, human beings would be paralyzed immediately , All cells are paralyzed. So that after the discovery of mitochondria, scientists are divided into two factions, one supports mitochondria as a part of the human body; the other believes that mitochondria are life with independent genes." "It turns out to be like this." Cao Cang said, "This can explain that the intelligent creatures from another dimension parasitize the apes in the form of microorganisms. But they didn't realize at all that the animals on the earth actually They are very good at fusing alien life. They don't know that humans have gradually assimilated them into creatures similar to mitochondria. Moreover, the human body is a very fierce weapon. The subconscious hidden in the human body gradually fuses them and absorbs their advantages. This advantage is to take the initiative to let them improve their intelligence. Then, unconsciously, gradually integrate them with themselves. This is also a battlefield, which has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, slowly and silently in the body. War. After countless generations of reproduction, human beings have finally won this war. The next thing to do is to cross the river and tear down the bridges, and completely take this lazy life as their own. Put aside their consciousness and face the living environment alone—— The land, the sea, the earth, the universe... Humans will not be slaves forever. This is human instinct, and it does not require mature thinking to make a decision." "However, because of individual differences in human beings, the degree of assimilation is different." Miller said, "The pocket watch family still occupies a part of the number of human individuals. But in terms of numbers, they are no longer able to fight against the entire human race. They can only change their choices and use another A way to achieve their goals. They still have an advantage, an intelligence advantage. Although they fail temporarily, their intelligence is still higher than other humans." "So they can gradually influence human beings through religion and economy." Cao Cang said, "They made a choice, which is to continue to endure. They also have an advantage, that is, all human beings cannot discover their existence at the level of knowledge at that time. Human beings The biological instinct of human beings far surpasses the development of intelligence. They take advantage of this and wait for the development of human beings slowly." "In some ways, they're very close to humans," Miller said. "I admire you very much. You actually figured out these processes alone in the strange sea." Cao Cang said. "My colleagues and I have been studying this secret for a long time before entering the different sea." Miller said, "The pocket watch family has influenced a large number of people and gradually developed into a nation." "Do you know anything about world history?" Miller asked. "I don't know much about it." Cao Cang admitted honestly, "But I am very familiar with the nation you mentioned." "It was the 1980s (20th century) when I entered the different sea." Cao Cang said. "Our country has been defeated... Britain has also begun to lose its influence in the world." Miller whispered, "Then they are one step closer to their goal. Before I entered the alien sea, that nation was already infiltrating into the United States. The United States will become the economic center of the world, which is what they want to see. They have started to act." "But the United States and the Soviet Union are now hostile to each other." Cao Cang said. "Entering the alien sea requires a lot of resources and technological support." Miller said, "Do you know what is the most reasonable state to use the huge resources of human beings?" "A state of war." Cao Cang replied. "As long as the two huge countries maintain a state of hostility, no matter what kind of resources they use and what kind of technology they develop, they can use the purpose of war as a cover." Miller said, "They must not have large-scale battles. Just keep it that way." Cao Cang admired Miller so much. "The first batch of your personnel who conducted the different sea experiments are the ones who are truly out of their control." Cao Cang said, "No wonder the second batch of people who entered the different sea can't unite with you." "We are the only real humans who have walked in front of the pocket watch family." Miller said proudly, "We entered the different sea one step ahead of them, so they were in a hurry." "The consequences of their haste are very serious," Cao Cang said. "They urgently need to shuffle the cards and change the pattern of the world." Miller suddenly changed the subject, "Do you know why the direct descendants of the pocket watch family cannot co-exist with the green algae genes of the different seas?" "They are afraid of repeating the same mistakes." Cao Cang said with a smile, "They are already afraid of being backlashed by parasites. In the individuals of the pocket watch family, they occupy a strong position and weaken the individual's adaptability to foreign creatures." "So, we have no room for it." Miller said, "They rely on humans to enter the alien sea and abandon all humans on earth. Then the next thing to do is to break away from the humans who entered the alien sea and find a suitable place in the alien sea. parasites." "Human beings have only two paths now, either to be abandoned, or to defeat them." Cao Cang said, "Why didn't you announce this secret?" "Do you think this secret will be accepted by the world?" Miller said, "And at that time, these were just theoretical constructs, and we entered the alien sea to confirm this speculation." Cao Cang became silent. Miller was right. No one on earth would agree with this point of view. "Do you understand now why I desperately returned to Earth?" "I fully understand." Cao Cang gave a military salute to Miller, "When necessary, I will use my life to help you accomplish this goal." All doubts were solved in front of Cao Cang.Cao Cang fully understood his purpose of entering the Different Sea.The height of this purpose has far exceeded his expectations.This war has transcended the divisions between humans.What everyone has to face now is a common enemy, that kind of intelligent life that coexists with human beings, lurks in the corner of human body, and spends a long time. The ice in the different sea has long since melted, and now it is an ocean world again. Miller was quite familiar with the different seas, and the two boats were speeding across the sea, heading towards the small island. Time flies, Cao Cang and Miller are worried whether Remus' submarine has launched an attack on the island.Typhoon Ji's nuclear submarine is equipped with missiles carrying nuclear warheads.If Remus knows the role of Kojima, it is difficult to predict how likely he is to launch the ultimate attack on Kojima. The weather in Yihai began to become violent again, with lightning, thunder, and hurricanes raging.Countless fishes crashed randomly on the surface of the sea, and Cao Cang also saw many dead fishes.None of the corpses had any scars on the surface, and the cause of death could not be seen. The two ships were tossed by the waves like a floating leaf on the sea surface, and their speed had to be slowed down. Miller said to Cao Cang: "It should be more lively now, and more humans have entered the different sea." Cao Cang said, "They conducted the fourth experiment?" "They are no longer cautious this time. They must have brought in more weapons, and the number of people must not be small." Miller said, "The Yihai is being affected by the shock of space. Have you noticed? The climate of the Yihai has changed, The monsoon season has moved forward, and the direction of the ocean current is changing, and the creatures in the other seas are also affected, and many fish cannot find suitable breeding and foraging places. The forces on the other side of the earth are already putting all their eggs in one basket, and they can't afford to wait." "So this time, you must successfully land on the island and destroy their plan before they take the final action." Cao Cang said, "But have you ever thought that when we return to Earth, what do you have?" Power to stop all of this?" Miller said: "You forgot, I have been studying this secret for a long time before entering the different sea, and of course we will plan countermeasures. Back then, we had predicted various possibilities of time development, and one of the plans was personally participated in by me. .” "Are you holding back?" Cao Cang asked. "We have established a secret military base on the inaccessible southern hemisphere continent. In that base, we not only keep the most advanced high-tech weapons, but also research subjects. It is a laboratory that surpasses many other countries, for the purpose of This war. When I go back, this base will be up and running. All the scientists near this base will be involved ... that's what we planned." "Do you have a weapon against that kind of life?" Cao Cang said, "Have you studied it for a long time? What kind of weapon is that?" "It's a virus." Miller said, "A virus that is very easy to infect in the human body. This virus can identify the tiny organisms with high intelligence in the human body, and then..." A grim smile appeared on Miller's stiff face. "Why didn't you use this kind of biochemical weapon?" Cao Cang said, "Is there any side effect?" "It's inevitable, but we have no choice," Miller replied. "Tell me what harm this weapon does to the human body?" Cao Cang said, "Physiological harm to real humans." "Since it is to be successful, there must be sacrifices." Miller said, "Humans will definitely be able to survive." "There are various variants of this weapon, some are transmitted through air and water, some are transmitted through body fluids and blood, and it reproduces very fast, but its own mutation is very unstable. It has already been produced during our experimental stage There are many variants." Miller said coldly, "The most important thing is that human beings cannot use the power of the state machine to isolate this weapon." “人类无法阻止这种生化武器的扩散？” “当初，我们研究这种病毒的时候，就能够让它们在人类和各种动物之间相互传播。”米勒说道，“人类可以阻拦陆地生物在地球上的移动，可是能阻挡天上的飞鸟吗？能阻拦海中的鱼类吗？这就是我们的武器。” 曹沧对米勒本已完全信服的决心，又开始了动摇。曹沧都差点忘了，站在自己面前的这个德国军人，是一个纳粹，一个对物种发展方向无比狂热的军人。曹沧对米勒所说的那种生化武器的存在深信不疑，而且毫无疑问，这些武器对人类也有巨大的伤害，毕竟人类和那种高智能生命已经共生了几十万年，两者已经完全融合，当这种病毒在杀死那种共生生命体的时候，对人体的伤害一定不能避免。 米勒从曹沧脸上犹豫的神情看出了曹沧的想法。 “人类会幸存下来。”米勒说道，“并且还会继续朝着这个方向发展。当我们把那个讨厌的寄生物从身体剔除之后，我们会延续他们的目标，继续进入异海……进入异海之后，我们也不会停滞步伐，我们会继续登上进入下一个空间的殖民之船。只是这条船将不会再有那种生命的位置，这才是我们人类的使命。我们的确要谢谢他们，但是对不起，人类不是个愿意永远和异类共存的物种。我们有自己的路要走，并且这条路不再需要领路人。” 曹沧仍旧在犹豫。 米勒说道：“生物进化的过程就是一个不断竞争，排除和自己类似的生物，消灭对自己生存造成障碍的任何生物的过程。空间太小，人类能走到今天这一步，就是因为不断地实践这个真理。当初那种生命体在无数种生物种群中选择我们祖先，就是看中了我们超强的适应能力。这个能力不是天生的，而是一步又一步靠着对环境的适应，克服自身的弱点，进化而来的。那些不能适应的个体，只有一个结局，就是被淘汰。如今的人类，从外部能战胜所有的猫科动物、犬科动物、有毒的爬行类、天空中的巨型鹰凖、海底的食肉动物，从内部能够战胜黑死病、天花、疟疾、霍乱……这些曾经的致命微生物。只有一个原因，我们是在这些敌人攻击下的幸存者。那些不能适应的个体，已经被淘汰。现在，人类要战胜最后一个敌人，一个从来没有尝试摆脱的敌人。只有战胜他们，我们才能向着自己的发展方向前行。那些不能从战争中坚持下来的弱小个体，根本就不值得同情。能生存下来的，永远是强者。你还在犹豫什么？” 曹沧身上冷汗淋漓，无疑从人类的整体来分析，米勒的理论是完全正确的。可是，这种说法在曹沧当时所在的时代，完全是异端邪说。 是一股什么势力，让人类勉强地接受和达尔文计划理论相反的普世价值？曹沧已经隐隐想到了。 是的，无论什么理论，都有自身的局限性，当把这个理论放到更广阔的环境里之后，这个理论就已经不再正确，就必须要有更加客观的理论来支持更广阔的环境。 普世价值在人类社会的环境中是非常正确的准则，可是当人类要面对整个宇宙和无数平行空间的时候，唯一的价值，就是生存原则。 毫无疑问，这是一个从情感上非常难以接受的理念，但是很明显，米勒是对的。 “先帮你回到地球再说吧。”曹沧妥协了，“我相信地球上的人类会作出正确的选择。” 米勒笑了笑，用手拍了拍曹沧的肩膀，然后用力摁了一下。 两艘船，在暴风中艰难前行，终于又接近了小岛。 当战船行驶到能看见小岛轮廓的时候，风浪停止了。曹沧向船后看去，海面仍然惊涛骇浪，但是他们船只所在的海域非常平静。 曹沧和米勒站在船头远远看见小岛上冒起一股浓烟，天空中弥漫着烟尘。这些烟尘已经扩散了很远，很快战船上就覆盖了一层细细的灰尘。 “小岛上的火山活了。”米勒说道，“这也是地球和异海之间物质交换的结果。这次影响很大，引发了小岛上的火山爆发。这个火山沉寂了很久，没有外力的影响根本不会苏醒。” “异海唯一的陆地就是这个火山岛。”曹沧说道，“我在小岛上看到过，小岛的一端应该就是一个火山口。火山的爆发会不会把小岛完全毁灭？” 米勒说道：“我不知道，我只知道地球上的力量正在迫切地想过来，如果他们进一步努力，小岛的毁灭，是必然的后果。” 曹沧看着海面，仔细看着。 “你在找雷缪斯和他的潜艇吗？”米勒说道，“他们现在应该在我们的脚下，他们进不去的。” “怀表在我们这里。”曹沧说道，“从小岛的状况来看，麦克无法组织起有效的抵抗。” “不。”米勒说道，“现在要做的，是你和简博士回到小岛，跟他们谈谈。” “我该怎么跟他们解释？”曹沧说道，“告诉他们所有的真相吗？” “到这个时候，不能顾忌太多了。”米勒说道，“你告诉他们，我们必须要联合起来！不然都只有死路一条！” “到底要发生了什么事情？”曹沧说道，“难道火山喷发会对整个生活在异海上的人类产生致命的影响吗？” “我们现在最大的敌人不是异海的环境！”米勒急切地说道，“是来自地球的威胁。我已经说过，根据现在异海的环境突变，基本上可以断定，地球的势力已经完成了第四次实验。这次实验，他们送进来了更多的物资和人员。他们为什么要这么做？” 曹沧明白了米勒的分析，前三次的实验都没有人员回到地球，地球上的势力绝不会无动于衷，他们一定也在分析异海可能发生的各种变数。要么是前三批的人员无法适应异海的环境，全部死亡了。当然还有第二种分析，就是和现在的走向一致的推测，实验人员不愿意把这个任务进行下去，要隔断异海和地球的通道。 曹沧看着米勒，低声问道：“他们真的会这么做吗？” “一定会。”米勒说道，“他们已经在做了。” “我马上去小岛告诉他们。”曹沧说道。 曹沧现在一刻都不能耽误，要马上回到小岛，告诉他们真相。因为，没有时间了。地球的第四次实验已经开始，这次实验最重要的内容一定就是把前三批实验人员全部清除。地球上的那个势力，已经没有耐心了。
