Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 2341 The length of life

The wind howled through the mountains and forests, the air was cold, and the trees were covered with dry leaves. Guyi was holding an instrument to test the quality of light. His expression was a bit serious. Gene was lying on a big rock beside him. He was sitting comfortably smoking a cigarette.

Gene looked at the dim sun in the sky, and yawned boredly. They had been out for more than ten hours, and this was the No.19 test point that Gu Yi came to.

Gu Yi is counting the energy of the sun in detail. It has been a whole year since Jin left for the grassland last time.

Jean never went to the grassland again during the period. The eight people researched day and night in the base. Many technologies have been turned into reality, and they are still in the application testing stage. They found several veins in the mountains and forests, some of which have been Mining started.

Every day, everyone takes turns going to the mine to extract ore, and then bring the metal back to the base. Now there is a very rich stock of metal in the base. Jean and the others are planning to open a cave to store more Metal.

Because these metals will definitely be used in the future, and there are still a lot of rare metals, the eight people are full of confidence in the future technology, and now they just need to continue to apply many technologies to reality.

This is a huge and complicated project, which cannot be completed in a short period of time, and requires countless painstaking efforts. The repeated experiments alone leave the eight people with almost no spare time.

"What's the matter?"

Gene asked, and Gu Yi shook his head with a serious expression.

"According to the current situation, after a while, it will be difficult for the sun to provide energy for the plants on the earth. The sun will disappear soon."

Gene's face was solemn, and now they were faced with a choice. If they ignored humans, it would only take ten years at most, and the humans on this land would become extinct.

"I'll take a trip when I have time. Now our aerodynamic machine is still researching, so I can't leave."

Jean nodded while talking about Gu Yi, he sighed helplessly, his brows were full of sorrow.

"We are facing a dilemma. The best way now is to teach humans to build shelters close to the mountains, otherwise the cold air in this land will kill them in the future."

The direct temperature of the sun has been lowering for several months, and the worst situation has come earlier. It is a miracle that the sun can continue to shine on this land for more than two years. Now we can't expect too much, we must It has to rely on humans themselves.

The establishment of shelters, water-drawing technology, and the establishment of agriculture in caves are the three most important aspects that can allow humans to survive, but to be precise, only a small number of humans can survive.

The most desperate moment is coming. After the sun disappears, the whole world will fall into cold and darkness, and it is extremely difficult for human beings to survive in such a world.

If there are only a small number of humans, there is still a way, but there is no way for such a large group of humans, and the resources are simply not enough for so many humans to survive.

"The only way is to produce high-yielding crops. I don't know how Ai Li's research is going."

Gene laughed helplessly. For nearly a month, Ellie was almost always in the laboratory, and rarely returned to the bedroom. Every time, Gene went to the laboratory with food and chatted with Ellie. , she is still working.

Because Ellie also knows that if the research fails to make a breakthrough, the human beings on the grassland will be finished, and they can only wait to die. In the end, the fighting that turned into food will return to the few people who were killed when the doomsday happened. status of the month.

Moreover, the forces on the grassland should basically have been consolidated now, and they should have been prepared for this day. Everyone seems to have a string stretched in their heads. Once the string is broken, human beings will fall into To the rawest madness and cruelty.

"We have to prevent the worst from happening, I think it's better to get them moving as soon as possible."

Looking at the worried Guyi, Jin asked.

"About how long?"

Gu Yi replied after thinking for a long time.

"Six months, a conservative estimate."

"In half a year, as long as they work day and night, they can cultivate some shelters, with our help."

Gene stood up with a smile, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and then looked at the sky in the distance. There was a touch of light gray on the edge of the darkness in the distance. The sun was indeed disappearing at a very fast speed, and the outdoor temperature had dropped. Several degrees.

Some cold-resistant plants have begun to wither, which is a very bad phenomenon, because it means that the environment has begun to deteriorate. When humans see the deterioration of the environment, it has already indicated that the environment is not suitable for human survival.

"There is one more time, Mr. Driver, let's go."

As Gu Yi said, Gene laughed helplessly, squatted down and picked up Gu Yi on his back, and jumped to the distance in an instant.

Soon the two came to the last test point, which was the top of a mountain, and the surrounding plants looked very lush, because it was much higher than other places.

After taking down the machine placed on the top of the mountain, Gu Yi began to check the data during this period.

"The situation is not very optimistic."

Gene hummed, and waited for Gu Yi to record and update the data. The original old data must be cleared, and then let the machine start recording again, otherwise there may be some problems.

Because this is not a stable indoor, but a sinister outdoor.

Gu Yi also had to check the operation of the machines. The reason why it took so much time was because some machines were damaged, and Gu Yi could only repair them on the spot.

After a while, everything finally ended. It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but now the sun was shining on my body and I couldn't feel the temperature at all.

Gene carried Gu Yi on his back, and soon came to the edge of a mine in the mountains. As soon as the two landed, they saw Rose reading a book with a smile. After seeing the two, Rose put down her hand book of.

"Why do you come here?"

Gu Yi glanced at the stove outside the mine, and the metal in a basket beside it. There was very little, and Gene would act as a porter, going back and forth between the mine and the base, and transporting all the metal back.

"That's all you've done all day?"

Gu Yi asked, looking a little unhappy.

"What's the matter, it's rare to relax, I'm not a machine, I'm not like you two, a robot."

Jin smiled awkwardly, Gu Yi sighed, and got up directly to get some ore to smelt and get metal materials.

"I really don't understand, what is he doing so seriously? Although we have become non-human now, we still have thoughts and feelings. We can't be like robots, working from morning to night. Anyway, I'm too lazy to do it today. Alright, let’s talk about it tomorrow, it’s almost done in a few hours.”

Gene nodded. It is true that they have all become like robots recently, probably because the sun is disappearing little by little.

Gene looked at the book in Rose's hand. It was a collection of stories, which contained many short stories. It was a very thick volume. Now probably reading books was their only entertainment.

Even if there is a network here, there are no content providers on the network.

After a while, Gu Yi came up with two big bags of ore and began to smelt it. His expression relaxed a lot at this time, he looked at Rose and said sincerely.

"Sorry."

"It's true, it's true, I will do it well."

The three of them entered the mine pit, and they easily mined some ore, and then smelted it. The efficiency was very high, and the basket was full in less than an hour, Jean directly picked it up and said.

"You wait for me here for a while."

After Gene left, Rose sat down again, and she took out a cigarette and started smoking, which she had never touched before because it was very stupid, but recently she liked it.

Looking at Gu Yi who was still busy, Rose frowned slightly and said with a pursed mouth.

"I said, can you stop for a while, Master Gu Yi, and chat with me for a while, I'm bored here alone."

Gu Yi smiled awkwardly and could only walk over.

"I've often been thinking about a question these days. The length of life. If we say that the length of our life may have no end, then what is it if we continue to survive?"

"In order to lead mankind to survive."

Gu Yi gave the answer without hesitation.

"And what about the ordinary people?"

Gu Yi scratched his head and said after thinking about it.

"I don't know how to answer, but this is the only way to do it now."

Rose laughed.

"What do you think would happen if human life was extended?"

Gu Yi was a little confused, he said with a smile.

"This can't be done casually, they are not like us."

"Indeed, so I think we need to try it, what do you think?"

Gu Yi put away his smile, stood up after shaking his head, and continued to walk to the melting furnace.

"I don't think we should discuss this topic anymore, and we don't have the right to decide the length of human life. I don't think it is very good. I can't imagine what it will be like if human life is extended, but it is certain, The pain will be doubled."

Rose laughed, and the sky began to turn gray.

After a while, Gene came back, carrying wine and food, Rose hurriedly walked over, the three of them started eating and drinking on the spot, Rose would not go back until tomorrow noon when Tang Rao came to take over.

Although there are enough metals to use now, the more the better, if you accumulate it slowly, if there is a big problem in the future, you will have enough resources to support it.

Rose looked at Gene, and she said the question she asked Guyi today. After thinking for a moment, Gene smiled and shook his head.

"When we really do it one day, we will naturally know the answer. The current assumption is meaningless."

Rose couldn't help but said.

"I really don't know what Ellie likes about you. Really, your answer is really direct and very rational."

After eating, Rose returned to the mine, and Jin and Guyi also left.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the two returned to the base. On an open field near the plantation field, Li Chu was holding a laptop, and Deguna was testing a new type of pipe cleaning robot.

Now the base has basically achieved a very high degree of automation. Many places are handled by robots, especially chores such as cleaning. They are all done by robots. They only need to concentrate on research.

Li Chu is already developing a higher-level AI. This is his idea for many years. Before that, it was because of insufficient materials, but now the metal can fully meet the demand.

Everything in the base needs to be taken care of to be able to operate normally. As long as it is fully automated, they will have more time to go to the human society in the future and help them complete some constructions, instead of going back and forth every day.

It takes at least six or seven days to get to this base. Although the other people can run very fast, it will take at least one or two days. Only Gene can go back and forth in a short time, but going back and forth all the time is not an option.

"How's the situation?"

Gu Yi asked, and Li Chu said with a sigh.

"Not ideal."

Deguna gave Li Chu a slap. She is now in her twenties, exuding a youthful atmosphere all over her body.

On weekdays, Deguna would find a way to use her power when she was free. She had to find a way to stop the reverse growth of her body, otherwise, if she continued like this, she would really turn into a baby.

"You just design the program, and of course you don't know how difficult it is to combine these small parts into a whole."

Li Chu pouted.

"You really think the program is so well designed."

"Okay, have you eaten yet?"

Gu Yi asked, the two shook their heads, and Gene rolled up his sleeves.

"It's been a long time since everyone got together. I'll cook, and you can just come over for dinner later."

Gene looked at the current field. All the grains are for experiments. Ellie and Werther have accelerated the cultivation of fast-growing and large-volume crops. Eating these crops will have side effects. They have personally tried this. It feels very bad. Humans will definitely die if they eat it for a long time. Their bodies can recover, but humans cannot.

The risks to these crops must now be minimized before the seeds can be given to humans.

"By the way, what's going on today?"

Li Chu asked, Deguna also looked over, Gu Yi took out the computer, and began to explain to the two of them.

"You two will help tomorrow. We have to remove the external power generation panels. Many power generation panels have been damaged. If we continue, these things will be broken, and the power generation is still so small."

At this time, Gene, who walked into the kitchen, looked at Ellie who was writing notes and eating potatoes.

"How to eat so simple?"

Allie was startled.

"I hate it, I won't say anything when I come back."

Gene walked over and gently embraced Ellie's shoulder.

"I'll cook you a delicious meal."

Ellie nodded happily, put down the potatoes, Gene turned and walked towards the refrigerator, and Ellie stood up at this time.

"I thought about it, I have to go back to the laboratory first, Gene, bring me the things."

Seeing Elle Jean leave, she felt a little helpless.

"The length of our lives, what is the ultimate meaning!"
