Chapter 175 The Golden Age
"Is it possible to improve one's cultivation by acquiring knowledge?" Li Xiu said calmly: "Do you have any skills? If you have any, please pass it on."
" Not yet." Xie Shen replied: "But I am going to a place called the Academy of Sciences. Not surprisingly, there should be some cultivation techniques related to science."
"That's good."
Li Xiu continued: "Such a science-based system. Practicing exercises is of great reference value to us.”
"If conditions permit, we must try our best to get the technique."
As he said that, Li Xiuhu handed a spherical glass bottle to Xie Shen through the Shendao tripod.
He asked: "Since the nameless creatures on your planet feed on human beings' desire for knowledge."
"Then it corresponds."
"There should be a black mist generated by human curiosity on this planet, right?"
"Yes." Xie Shen hurriedly responded: "Humans on this planet call the black mist 'endless energy'."
"Don't say that."
“This is a very appropriate name.”
Thank you Shen explained: "It is different from the black fog generated by painful emotions on our planet."
"The black fog generated by the desire for knowledge on this planet can serve as the energy source for almost all high-tech equipment. .”
"For example, laser guns, stance shields, etc."
"Standard shield?" Li Xiu said with a slightly fluctuating tone: "The scientists on your planet actually have stance shields. Kind of equipment?”
Xie Shen replied: “Yes, there is, but It's just a one-time use, or it will be scrapped after 2-3 uses."
"It can be used to save lives, but the value of mass production is not high."
"After all. , we have cultivation techniques that can improve people’s strength, right?”
"Those disposable consumables are not of much help to us."
"Forget it." Li Xiu returned to the topic and said: "You use the black mist on your planet, which is the endless energy, to , put some into a glass bottle and use The Shen Dao Cauldron was passed to me. I plan to study its properties to see if it has any value."
"It's simple." Xie Shen responded and quickly imitated Geng Tianhua's method to use a small amount of endless energy. Introduced into glass bottles.
After returning the glass bottle containing endless energy to Li Xiu, Xie Shen cut off contact with him.
The night is long.
Because monks in the transformation stage do not need to rest.
Xie Shen spent the remaining time silently absorbing the endless energy floating between heaven and earth.
…
The next day.
Father Geng Tianhua woke up Geng Tao and Geng Yizhi early.
He led the team from south to north and soon arrived at a small town not far from Gu Qingcheng.
"We have arrived." Geng Tianhua said to Xie Shen and others: "This town is located to the south of Gu Qingcheng, so people generally call it 'South Town'. The Academy of Sciences I mentioned before is hidden In this small town.”
“This place is quite remote,” Xie Shen followed.
“There is no way.” Geng Tianhua said helplessly: “In fact, a long time ago, we scientists did not have to hide our heads and tails like this.”
“At that time, the technological level on the entire Zhiyu Planet could be said to be It is unprecedentedly developed.”
"Especially after the discovery of endless energy."
In the town.
Geng Tianhua walked and said: "With endless energy, the scientists on Zhiyu Planet not only developed various high-tech equipment, but also began to develop aerospace technology, preparing to lead all mankind to explore outer space. This This period of history was called the golden age by later generations."
"The stand shield and the micro laser gun I used before"
"Those are all products of the golden age. .”
I see!
Hearing this, Xie Shendu’s eyes suddenly revealed a look of astonishment.
——After seeing the high-tech equipment in Geng Tianhua’s hands, he always felt that those equipment were somewhat incompatible with the style of this world.
After all, those equipment cannot be made with the corresponding drawings.
Producers also need to have industrialized production lines.
Such as screws, springs, iron pipes, etc.
These can only be mass produced with the help of modern assembly lines.
So Xie Shen never figured it out.
In such a backward environment, how did Geng Tianhua and other scientists produce such high-tech equipment.
It took a long time.
Those equipment are actually products left over from the past golden age.
In this way, everything will have a reasonable explanation.
There is only one question that Xie Shen can still figure out.
He asked Geng Tianhua: "So why did today's Zhiyuxing suddenly become so backward? Is it because of the war?"
"No."
Geng Tianhua smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I hope that all this is because of the war."
"After all, no matter how fierce the war is, it will not cause the civilization of our Zhiyu Star to regress."
“Uh”
Geng Tianhua As he spoke, he suddenly added: "Even if civilization regresses because of war, it will not degenerate to the point it is now."
"Nowadays, people make fire to cook, let alone lighters. , even a match is hard to find.”
"Most people are living with flints and fire sickles."
"So what is the reason for the regression of civilization?" Xie Shen repeated the question just now.
Geng Tianhua said: “It’s because of the abuse of endless energy.”
“Endless energy is a double-edged sword”
“It not only brings convenience to us humans , at the same time, it has also brought unimaginable horrific pollution to us humans.”
"For example, the 'private school' I told you before is one of the many pollutions caused by endless energy."
"I don't understand this." Xie Shen said doubtfully: "Since Using endless energy will bring pollution to the entire planet, so why don’t you just develop technology normally and develop things that don’t rely on endless energy? Isn’t it enough to use Yuan’s technology?”
Geng Tianhua sighed and said, “What you said is quite easy.”
“But do you know”
“The golden age. Zhiyu Star, nearly 90% of the instruments and equipment on the entire planet are powered by endless energy.”
"The endless energy at that time had already been integrated into the daily production and life of all mankind."
"Unless all mankind is dead, how can it be possible to just stop?"
That's true.
Xie Shen followed Geng Tianhua's words: "So since then, pollution has begun to spread across the entire planet?"
"Yeah."
Geng Tianhua said: "It is said that if you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years."
"Since the pollution spread on the Zhiyu Star, people have regarded science as a scourge."
< br>"Whether it is dependent on endless energy Technology, or technology that does not rely on endless energy."
"In short, cut it all off with one knife."
"As science is banned, the public becomes increasingly ignorant. .”
"As time passed, the church that believed in the only true god Kesun emerged."
Kesun?
Could it be an indescribable creature with two words?
Driven by curiosity, Xie Shen asked, "What does Kesun look like specifically? Can you describe it?"
"I don't know" Geng Tianhua shook his head. He shook his head and said: "After all, I am just a junior scientist at the Academy of Sciences."
"The church and I are naturally on opposite sides."
"So it is definitely impossible for me to know the secrets of the church."
"The only thing I know clearly is: the secrets in the church Goddess and missionaries, all their divine power comes from Kesun.”
Xie Shen captured the key point of Geng Tianhua’s words. He was a little surprised and said: "The priests and missionaries of the church actually have divine power?"
"If there is really divine power.
"Then why was the goddess who came to the village before killed by you with a laser gun? ”
In a small town.
While Xie Shen was talking with Geng Tianhua, a group of four people had unknowingly arrived at a secluded, uninhabited alley.
< br>There is a wooden door at the end of the alley
Geng Tianhua stepped forward, knocked lightly on the wooden door, and continued to reply to Xie Shen: "The reason why the goddess was killed by me with a laser gun is because the goddess also has the power of a missionary, and there is also a mutual understanding between us. High and low”
“Just like us scientists”
“They are also divided into different levels such as entry level, junior level, advanced level, and master level.”
“As expected, the goddess who was shot to death by me before should be Only entry-level strength.”
When we talk about this.
Xie Shen and the other four people heard a burst of light footsteps suddenly coming from behind the wooden door of the alley.
Next second.
I heard an old voice from behind the door: "Who is it?"
Hearing this, Geng Tianhua hurriedly responded: "Mr. Niu, it's me, Geng Tianhua."
After hearing the familiar voice, Mr. Niu opened the wooden door to a gap and took a look out through the gap.
After confirming that the person coming was indeed Geng Tianhua, Mr. Niu opened the wooden door with confidence.
He glanced at Xie Shen and others behind Geng Tianhua, and asked casually: "Are these three from your family?"
"Yes."
Geng Tianhua He smiled bitterly and said: "My scientific research was discovered by people in the village."
"They took advantage of me and knocked me down with hemp arrows, and even attracted people from the church. ”
"I was forced to have no choice, so I used contaminated equipment."
"In the end, the entire village was contaminated."
"As a last resort, I I had no choice but to leave there."
said.
Geng Tianhua did not forget to turn around and explain to Xie Shen and others: "The so-called contaminated equipment refers to those high-tech weapons that rely on endless energy to drive."
Follow behind Niu Lao.
After Xie Shen and his party passed through a long and narrow corridor, they saw a sudden change in the painting style around them.
——What catches everyone’s eyes is a high-tech laboratory with a very modern atmosphere.
This laboratory has been soundproofed.
You can also see machine tools, experimental tables, electric lamps, petri dishes, alcohol lamps and other equipment.
Among them, what surprised Xie Shen the most was the robot sitting on the machine tool.
Seeing Xie Shen staring at the robot in silence, Geng Tianhua hurriedly explained: "The person sitting on the machine is a skeleton man born in the golden age."
"Bone People?" Xie Shen frowned after hearing this.
Geng Tianhua explained: "Although the bodies of the bone people are made of steel."
"But they look very much like a skeleton as a whole, so there is a 'bone' The title "person"
"In the golden age."
"The technology related to endless energy has developed to its peak."
"In order to survive and extend life, some high-level human beings asked Scientists helped build countless mechanical bodies."
"Through surgery, those high-level humans transplanted their brains into the mechanical bodies."
"And then you have what you have now. The Skeleton Man Seen.”
Strange to say.
Geng Tianhua, Xie Shen and others were obviously talking loudly about the skeleton man.
But the Skeleton Man at the center of the topic really never had any overreaction.
It just sat on the machine bed blankly.
Only occasionally he would turn his head and look at Xie Shen and others.
"This bone man."
Xie Shen saw something was wrong with the other party.
He asked Geng Tianhua: "Has he been stimulated in any way?"
"Yes."
Geng Tianhua replied: "Skeleton people do not need to be like humans. Eat”
"They only need to regularly absorb a certain amount of endless energy to maintain their life needs."
"But didn't I just say that."
"Because endless energy provides the entire The Wisdom Star has brought extremely serious pollution."
"So for a period of time, all high-tech equipment will be suppressed by the church and other mainstream human forces."
"This. Including the Skeleton Man.”
"The suppressed skeletons cannot absorb enough endless energy on a regular basis."
"This causes them to lie or sit in place when their energy source is exhausted, and can do almost nothing."
Geng Tianhua emphasized: "The pain involved is really worse than sitting Prison is also torture. "
"After all, when people are in prison, at least there are inmates who can talk to each other occasionally, or stretch their muscles in the cell."
" But the skeleton man can neither speak nor move his body.”
"Among these skeletons."
"Some were buried underground due to accidents."
"There are also skeletons that were regarded as antiques by the nobles who emerged after the golden age. They were randomly discarded in the warehouse. "
"Their thoughts and consciousness were trapped in the iron skeleton forever, enduring almost eternal torture."
In the laboratory. .
Geng Tianhua looked at the skeleton man sitting on the machine tool.
He finally asked back: "Just imagine, under such endless torture, which skeleton can not go crazy?"
It's amazing.
After listening to Geng Tianhua’s story, Xie Shen immediately had a plan in his mind:
On earth.
Regarding brain transplantation technology, scientists led by Li Xiu have made more than one attempt.
But all attempts failed in the end without exception.
Just like the brain.
Li Xiu has always wanted to build a mechanical body for him, but he has been unable to succeed because he could not solve the rejection reaction.
And Xue Guoer.
Under the influence of the Silver Demon, her own desires were infinitely magnified.
In the end, eroded by endless desire, she was forced to give up her body.
Li Xiu also wants to build a mechanical body for her.
But again.
Xue Guoer's brain died suddenly due to rejection not long after it was transplanted into the mechanical body.
Unexpectedly, with the blessing of endless energy.
Scientists on Zhiyu Planet have solved the problem of rejection countless years ago and developed related technologies for skeleton humans.
Now the brain can finally have a body of its own.
