"In fact, now we have almost determined at a painful cost that the path of genetic development is wrong and unreasonable!
Fortunately, fortunately, I encountered the great Chinese civilization! You are a great civilization, indeed. I wish you a smooth development path and a hundred flowers blooming! Your mind can accommodate other races and is wider than the Milky Way. Your vision, knowledge, positioning, development direction and speed all make us ashamed.
But we are lucky, we have encountered the great Chinese civilization! ”
In the end, Mr. Claw grabbed Zhang Chengye's hands hard with a look of emotion on his face. Just, why are your claws so strong!
It turns out that this old guy is not honest either, and is taking advantage of the opportunity of shaking hands to explore Hua Xia's practice. As a result, his hard claws were like cotton balls hitting steel.
"Hehe..." The old guy laughed a few times and took back his paw without any embarrassment.
"Hey!" Zhang Chengye also laughed, but didn't show anything. Instead of being disgusted with the other party's unconcealed attitude, Zhang Chengye actually appreciated it. If you don't show fear, you will be afraid of those who are doing dirty things behind your back.
"By the way, Mr. Sharp Claw, are your beings at a height of a few hundred meters mechanical? But I think they look like living people!" Finally, at the last moment, Zhang Chengye asked the question in his mind.
"This..." Mr. Claw's face suddenly darkened, full of grief, "They are all warriors of the Bailing Civilization! They are all heroes! At the most powerful moment of their lives, they gave up everything they had. , transformed into the protector of Bailing Civilization
Their souls will be imprisoned in their bodies forever, with no way to escape. They will live alone in the training barn forever, and will only appear when needed!
They gave up happiness, gave up freedom. Choose to live in pain and become our greatest warrior, patrolling in space to protect our safety.
They are our eternal pain, they are the products of the failure of Bailing civilization and science and technology!
They are our eternal backbone, guarding our civilization without regrets.
Transformation from natural life into that life. You have to go through cruel, painful torture and a narrow escape from death. Even if the transformation is successful, you will encounter the pain of genetic rejection from time to time in the future, and you will be miserable. ”
Mr. Claw, who had always had a somewhat indifferent expression, suddenly became moist at the corners of his eyes.
"We...can we see..." Zhang Chengye also felt that his request was a bit excessive.
"Yes! This is the greatest spirit of our civilization!" Mr. Claw's face showed a trace of divine radiance.
Zhang Chengye and some personnel followed Mr. Claw out. There are still a large number of professionals left, who have to negotiate the details of the cooperation between the two parties. Since it is cooperation, of course there must be equal interests.
In fact, the two parties are now almost equal. First of all, although China has just reached the middle stage of the fifth-level civilization. Moreover, Zhang Chengye led only one-tenth of China's military strength and a fraction of its population. But this Bailing civilization itself has also declined.
In fact, before coming here, Zhang Chengye and even the Chinese civilization would never have thought that a civilization could die on its own without external interference!
Yes, if there is no external support, this Bailing civilization will have its day sooner or later. completely disappeared into the universe.
Needless to say about ancient civilizations, people's minds were not yet enlightened at that time. but. It is a bit difficult to understand that a civilization that has entered a scientific and technological civilization, has an extremely developed society, and has enlightened people's minds can also go downhill.
Developed civilization itself has strong self-healing capabilities. Even if the ruling class faints, the people can move out and develop again! For a powerful civilization with a population of several trillions, it only takes a few hundred million people to migrate out. It can re-develop into a complete civilization!
Among the civilizations China has encountered, including China itself, after the people become enlightened, the overall civilization is on an upward trend. The goblin civilization is a special case—it is also a typical example of seeking death.
But what happened today has sounded the alarm in the hearts of Zhang Chengye and Chinese civilization! Maybe. The laws of nature are not that simple. If one day Chinese civilization reaches its peak and stops moving forward, will it also flourish and then decline?
Perhaps, everything has a lifespan, but some things have a lifespan that is so long that humans cannot detect it.
Small spaceships, hover vehicles, etc., landed on the back of the planet. Here, there is a huge honeycomb-like building, ten kilometers wide, with hundreds of hexagonal bulges on it.
And here, some huge halflings can already be seen, shining with metallic light, flying in the sky.
Then, Zhang Chengye and his party entered an observation center under the leadership of Sharp Claw, and everyone stood silently.
Soon, Zhang Chengye saw 120 display screens around him, showing lives that were transforming one by one.
Beside, a commentator has already begun to explain:
"We select the best heroes from the best people who voluntarily sign up. Then these heroes will choose the halfling shape they want. However, before that, the degree of genetic fusion will be tested. Only when the genetic fusion is perfect 99.9% will start.
And because we have to endure long-term and tremendous pain during transformation, we only choose those in their prime. Most are around 40 years old. People of this age group are broad-minded, mentally tough, and determined.
But this age group is also the most glorious time in life. At this time, everyone who applies for transformation is a real hero.
These heroes will then enter the hive and undergo transformation.
The first step is also the simplest and the most comfortable of all the steps. Of course, this link is also painful, but compared to the later links.
The first step is gene fusion, proofreading, screening, editing, etc. This process takes about a month. One month later, we entered the second stage.
The pain started to get worse in the second session. This link involves replacing the original structure of the human body with various specific active metal substances, nanomaterials, etc. This process changes little by little. In the process of change, the soreness, numbness and itching pain constantly attack the spirit!
In this process, at least half of the people will have a mental breakdown because they cannot bear the pain. From then on, he could only be buried in the Heroes Garden.
This process will last about two months. And in order to perfectly integrate with the nerves, the heroes must constantly feel the body and complete the integration during the transformation process. Therefore, no anesthesia can be used. In this process, the greater the pain you suffer, the greater your achievements will be!
Our tallest hero is 1,200 meters tall!
The most painful thing in the second stage is the transformation of the internal organs, bone marrow, nerves, etc., cramps and bone scraping, which are more comfortable than this.
After that comes the third stage. The third stage is the transformation of the brain, which is also the most important link. The mortality rate at this stage is as high as 80%! It is necessary to stay awake during the painful process, and even use powerful mental power to control the transformation of cells.
Over the years, our average success rate has only hovered around 11.5%.
Moreover, 30% of them come from great scientists! ”
Zhang Chengye and the Chinese people around him all gasped! Such a cruel transformation was actually applied for voluntarily! Based on this alone, this civilization cannot be underestimated. In this civilization that is beginning to decline, everyone is making their own efforts for the development of civilization.
Scientists even experience it themselves for the sake of research!
This kind of spirit shocked even Zhang Chengye. When a nation is not afraid of death or pain, it always shocks outsiders. But many times, such problems occur because we are facing a life-or-death crisis. This reminded Zhang Chengye of the time when the Chinese nation was roaring - facing the crisis of national subjugation and genocide.
Looking at the warriors roaring in pain one by one on the screen, watching the silver-gray metal substance constantly invading and transforming the body, watching the blood flowing across the river, watching the bones breaking bit by bit and then being replaced by the silver-gray substance, these were caused by gravity and The energy of the warriors was firmly fixed, and their whole bodies were trembling - this was the most painful situation.
On some screens, some warriors have completed "rebirth", but their faces are also very ferocious. They should be replacing the spinal cord, brain, etc.
But more often than not, after half of the transformation, it suddenly stops. Then the red light comes on and a life is over!
"This is the place where warriors are tested!" Mr. Claw was beside him with a low voice; "My son has also been tested here, and I am proud of him!"
Zhang Chengye turned to look at this old man whose face was full of vicissitudes of life, and suddenly felt a little worried!
But more than that, it is a kind of reverence for nature! The wrong path of civilization development can be so, so heartbreaking! Let a great civilization begin to wander at the door of death!
Finally, a green light came on, and a transformed "Metal Man" appeared.
The commentator next to him explained with a cold expression: "They are still the size of their original people, but their next step will be to enter the training base for the final transformation.
But the most painful and dangerous stage is over. The next step is to reconstruct the body under the operation of genes and with the support of a large amount of atomic-scale materials. This process is normal growth after transformation.
The one just now chose a fish-tailed halfling, and the transformation process was perfect at the intermediate level; next he will grow to a height of 200 meters. Its skills will be space shuttle, space piercing, cold control, etc.
Although we have not truly entered the sixth-level civilization, we have also explored some capabilities. And this kind of transformed halfling is a kind of research and experiment that is still ongoing! ”
Zhang Chengye nodded and quickly left this depressing place. This place carries the hope of Bailing civilization, but it is also their sad place! A civilization that has developed wrongly is paying a heavy price for its past mistakes! (To be continued...)
