Chapter 689: A Fight to the Death
The root cause of neurasthenia has been discovered in human civilization, but at this time humans are still helpless against this disease.
Dozens of branches of human civilization, including the solar system parent company, are working hard to study the soul.
In fact, it is the study of dark matter and dark energy.
But time passed by unknowingly, and more than a hundred years had passed.
Galaxy 521 years.
More than 190 years have passed since the crisis caused by neurasthenia.
During this period, countless new human scientists followed one after another and worked day and night to study dark matter, dark energy, and the relationship between these two things and the soul of living things.
Even though huge amounts of manpower and material resources have been invested and people have been busy for more than 190 years, there are only a few results, and they are all theoretical results, with no results that can be applied in practice.
However, as time went by, human civilization had no choice but to accept reality.
Of course, many people have accepted the life limit of 360 years calmly.
Including Li Qingye, he knew that he could not continue to be frozen. After all, if he could not wait until the treatment technology appeared within 372 years, his soul would be gone.
Rather than spending the rest of his life in a freezing cryogenic chamber, he chose to break out of it and use his last fifty years to solve some problems.
After explaining all the work of the company.
Li Qingye appeared on an artificial asteroid at the edge of the Kuiper Belt, which will be his final place of work.
He had decided that after his death, the atoms of his body would be scattered throughout the Kuiper Belt.
But he did not give up, nor did he want to succumb to the rules of the universe. In these remaining 53 years, Li Qingye will devote all his efforts to the research of soul, dark matter and dark energy.
Even if he failed in the end, he had no regrets.
If he succeeds, he can change his fate again.
Inside the Asteroid Laboratory.
Many top scientists who were unwilling to wait for death in the cryogenic hibernation chamber also joined Li Qingye's research team.
Li Qingye finished a day's research work tiredly. He looked at the laboratory where everything had changed. His body looked very young, but in fact his soul was extremely old.
Suddenly, a message popped up in my email mailbox, which hadn't received any work letters for a long time.
This is the reminder program he set up. Only people who are closely related to him can send messages.
After reading the message, Li Qingye sighed: "I didn't expect that you would leave too!"
That information was exactly Levis' obituary. As one of the founders of the Sapiens Company and the founder of the company's nuclear field, Levis was more than 20 years older than Li Qingye. In addition, the other party was unwilling to wait for death in the hibernation capsule, so naturally his death date would soon come.
In the bathroom on the side, after washing his face with cold water, Li Qingye patted his cheeks and said, "Come on! Let me see where my limits are!"
He used a deep sleep device to rest for three hours and then returned to his research work.
Assistant Dak saw him appear in the laboratory and immediately came forward: "Dr. Li! This is some of the technical information sent by the Sirius Group yesterday. I have summarized the information about dark matter, dark energy and soul."
"Okay! Thank you for your help!" Li Qingye took the tablet and browsed through it quickly.
Among all its subsidiaries, Sirius Group has conducted the most in-depth research in the fields of dark matter, dark energy and soul.
Li Qingye attached great importance to the information they sent over.
Half an hour later, he had finished reading more than 400 related papers, but Li Qingye's expression did not relax. Instead, he became even more frowned.
The reason, of course, is that Sirius Group’s research papers did not contain any groundbreaking progress.
"These are just superficial findings. Right now, we have no way of directly observing dark matter and dark energy, which is the fundamental reason why our research is in trouble."
Dr. Ivan, who was not far away from him, heard his mumbling and came over with a helpless look on his face:
"Yes! We can only observe dark matter and dark energy through several indirect methods, and the information distortion is too great."
"Ivan, how are things going over there?"
Ivan shook his head. "There is no way. We have conducted many tests on hundreds of volunteers and found that their souls do not change much in response to various visible substances."
Li Qingye fell into deep thought, and suddenly his eyes flashed: "No! Logically speaking , the soul should appear at the same time when we humans are in the embryonic stage. So here comes the question! Why does the soul appear during the embryonic development?"
The others also fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a key issue.
Now they don’t need to think about why the soul is composed of dark matter and dark energy, they just need to know that the soul is “born” in the embryonic development stage of life.
Why do we need to understand this issue?
The reason is very simple. As long as we understand how the soul is born during embryonic development, we can learn from this method to replenish the human soul or return it to its original state.
One of the researchers didn't figure out the key, but he made a suggestion: "Dr. Li! Let's use genetic engineering to cultivate a group of wild animals!"
Li Qingye nodded: "Yes ! Sure! You go and arrange it."
There is really no point in just thinking about it now.
Conducting experiments and observing the changes in biological embryos during their development is a feasible way to study the birth of souls in living organisms.
Soon, large amounts of raw materials for cultivating wild animals were injected into special culture chambers, and then tens of thousands of animal embryos were cultured.
Everyone is operating various equipment and conducting various tests on these biological embryos, hoping to find the mystery of the birth of the soul.
But this time, they all failed in the experiment.
During the development process of tens of thousands of biological embryos, various data have been analyzed trillions of times by supercomputers, but still nothing has been found.
Li Qingye was not discouraged by this, because he understood that if this secret was so easy for them to find, the universe would have been filled with immortal species.
Obviously, this secret involving the birth of souls in living organisms is one of the deep physical laws of the universe, and it is a very hidden one.
However, Li Qingye did not fight alone. He immediately shared this idea with the scientific community of human civilization and asked them to join in the research.
He didn't believe that even with the combined intelligence of three trillion new humans, they would not be able to uncover the hidden secrets.
As long as we find the secret, human civilization can further break through the limits of life.
