Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 194 Survivor

"announcement:
Since the world government has blocked the Reaper event, the data on the Reaper's impact probability on the official website of the Asteroid Warning Center is no longer accurate.In order to ensure that everyone can get accurate first-hand information, our Ark Base has dispatched a hacker team to hack into the official website of the Asteroid Warning Center and obtained real first-hand information.Everyone can follow in real time. "

In the Ark Communication group chat app, the temporary person in charge posted a message.As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a lot of scolding.

"I said how the probability of collision stopped rising when it reached 8% at the highest, and it kept falling. It turns out that the world government blocked the news!"

"Haha, they can't do anything about Death Star anyway, so what if they don't block the news?"

"They also refuted the rumors! They refuted the rumors! They said that the possibility of impact has been ruled out! Damn, the probability has climbed to 19%!"

"It is very reasonable for the world government to choose to block the news, and it is also the best choice under the current circumstances. This is true regardless of whether the Death Star will eventually hit the earth."

"Yes. If the impact happens, blocking the news can at least avoid the social turmoil and chaos before the end. If the impact doesn't happen, it can be ignored as nothing happened."

"There is a ball! No matter how hard you try, you will die in the end. Only we can survive!"

"We are the masters of the earth!"

"If you want me to say, it's better not to block the news. All of you should have a carnival for a few days before the end of the day, and you will have no regrets if you die."

"Carnival? Carnival shit, only the strong can have carnival, and the weak can only suffer disaster. Without the shackles of morality and law, there is no future, and the end is approaching. You can't imagine how bad people can be. "

"No matter how chaotic it is, it's none of our business. After the apocalypse, we just need to rebuild order."

"Look, everyone! The impact probability has exceeded 20% for the first time, and it is now 21.2%!"

……

At the core of the Ark base, the Holy Church.

The holy church is the place where the gods are worshiped, and it is also the permanent residence of the Son of God.Only the Son of God can enter here, and it is also the most heavily guarded place in the entire Ark base, and it is also the place where the main systems of the Ark base can be directly controlled.

In addition to the identity of the Son of God and the ability to predict the future, the identity verification system of the Holy Church is the most important tool to ensure that the Son of God rules the entire base.

At this moment, the Son of God is sitting on the large "God Throne", with fragrant tea in front of him. There are sixteen "bionic human" girls wearing white robes, slender figures, and exquisite faces kneeling on the ground, waiting for the Son of God at any time. call.

These "bionic people" who have created bodies through cloning technology and gained consciousness through "mind duplication" technology, have rooted in their brains the idea of ​​always being loyal to the Son of God since their birth, and will never betray him.

They are the most trustworthy.They can do anything with a word from the Son of God.Even if the Son of God told them to die, he would not hesitate at all.

Miko picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and put it beside him.A bionic girl immediately got up silently, took away the remaining tea, and quietly put down a cup of steaming new tea.

A set of movements is smooth and flowing, as if it has been rehearsed thousands of times.

In front of the Son of God, before the large throne, there is a huge screen.Above the screen is an endless starry sky, and in the middle of the starry sky is a dumbbell-like star with larger ends and a thinner center.

This is directly intercepted from the Asteroid Warning Center, a real-time observation screen of the Reaper.

It is black and gray as a whole, and its surface is full of bumps, sharp rocks and deep cracks.One side of it is completely dark, completely invisible, and the other side facing the sun, under the heat brought by the sun, gas is constantly ejected.

This obviously means that there are some things such as water ice, dry ice, solid methane, solid hydrogen inside the asteroid.

At the extremely low temperature during the long journey, they exist in the solid state.At this moment, once they are close to the stars, their temperature rises, they change from solid to gas, and then escape directly into space, becoming part of the interstellar dust.

This also means that since its birth, it should not have been close to the star.Because it has been determined that there is not much gas on it.And if it has been close to the star, the originally small amount of gas should have evaporated cleanly.

However, if it has not been close to a massive star like a star, and has not been accelerated by the gravitational force of a star-level star, it is difficult to explain its high speed at this moment.

Perhaps, it comes from a star system that already has a very high speed of motion compared to the solar system?

There are some stars in the Milky Way, which originally have quite high velocities relative to the sun.In addition, other stars in such a star system, such as planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, etc., naturally have a relatively high speed relative to the solar system.

It may have been orbiting far from the star.Then, or in a certain collision or the gravitational battle of several larger stars, it was expelled from the original star system, and has since become a wandering planet, embarking on a long and distant journey in the starry sky.

The speed of more than 300 kilometers per second seems extremely fast, but compared to the vast and empty space of the universe, it is still as slow as a snail crawling.Even if it is from the star system closest to the solar system to get here, at this speed, it will take about 3500 years.

And if I remember correctly, there is no star system with such a high speed of motion around the solar system.

This means that this asteroid came from at least tens of light-years away.

That is a long voyage of at least tens of thousands of years.

The long time has covered up many things, making it impossible to verify many things.The question of where this asteroid came from was not clearly judged until the world where he lived, where human civilization was finally completely destroyed.

Shenzi, or Tang Yun, was thinking silently.

But the question may not matter.What matters is that even though the odds are so implausible, it finally came.

Same as previous life.

Fate is still repeating itself.This life, and the previous life, except for myself, everything else is the same.

In the last life, human civilization was completely extinct.In this life, with myself, the fate of human civilization will be completely different.

He never thought that after he finally faced death in despair, fate would favor him so much and give him another chance.

Rebirth, time travel, things that used to only exist in novels actually happened to me.

Although my own scientific literacy tells me that this kind of thing has actually been denied by science, but... who cares?
Whether it is real rebirth time travel, or something that does not violate the laws of science and is similar to rebirth time travel, or I have not time travel at all, but because of some unknown reasons, some future is inexplicably added to my head. memory - what's the difference?
It doesn't matter.The effect is the same.

At this moment, even though nearly 40 years have passed in his memory, he still clearly remembers the terrible things he encountered in his previous life.

Different from this life.In my previous life, because I didn't pay special attention to the asteroid threat, this asteroid approaching the earth at a very high speed was not discovered by an astronomer until three days before the impact.It took another day before it was confirmed by official observation agencies.

The accident happened too fast, and the time was too tight, so that the world government was caught off guard, and there was no time to react.

In addition to urgently transporting a batch of materials to various possible safe areas as reserves, it is too late to even allocate personnel and build disaster-proof buildings.

Time is too tight.

The seven safe bases proposed as an alternative were all proven to be false after the asteroid impact finally occurred.

Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, strong winds, thunderstorms, and torrential rains sweep the globe.Countless people were still asleep, and lost their lives without knowing what happened.The splendid human civilization is like a sandcastle on the beach, which collapses without a trace when it is gently washed by the sea.

Clouds obscured the sky, and dust blocked the sun.It was clearly autumn, and the temperature had already dropped to tens of degrees below zero.

Wreckage everywhere, death everywhere.

In such a short period of time, the total population on the earth dropped from nearly ten billion to less than ten million.

I am one of the survivors.

Compared with other survivors, I am luckier.Because I happened to be discovered by a helicopter, and the pilot of the helicopter received an emergency global broadcast from the Provisional World Government, knowing the location of the Temporary Safety Zone.

The so-called temporary safety zone is actually nothing more than an underground military base that was left behind and fortunately not too seriously damaged.

There is a certain amount of food, energy, machinery and other reserves here.

Even more fortunately, the location of the temporary safety zone was not far from where he was, completely within the range of the helicopter.

Thus, I came to the last settlement of human civilization.

The rest of the survivors who are not as lucky as themselves, what fate awaits them, it is self-evident.

In the end, the number of people gathered in the temporary safety zone reached about 200 million.

But there is a lack of food and clothing, extreme cold, extreme drought, the air is not suitable for breathing, and the life support equipment in people's hands is simply not enough.

Thousands of people die every day.In desperation, the provisional government decided to relocate, to a real place that was least affected by the impact and most likely to allow civilization to continue.

That's the proven least affected place, not the least affected place in computer simulations.

The environment there is equally harsh, but it is much better than here.It is not impossible to build a base there that is more suitable for people to live with the tools we have at the moment.

The process of migration was very bitter and difficult, and many people fell down on the way.There are less than one million people who finally reach the end.

Relying on the knowledge inherited from the pre-apocalyptic world, people started from scratch here, using the original and various tools obtained from the wreckage of the city to build a base from scratch that could protect their own survival.

Tang Yun still clearly remembered the suffering he endured during that time.

Every day, comrades in arms die.Every day, I was thinking, don't hold on anymore, just fall down like this, and there will be no pain at all.

Every day, I am thinking, if I can know before the impact that this is the real "safe zone" and the place that will be least affected, and then build a huge building here in advance, food, fresh water, oil, energy, medicine, etc. It would be great if there were enough supplies to allow people to escape the apocalypse comfortably and then rebuild the base of civilization.

I finally persevered until the base was built.

The remaining people finally had shelter.But the days ahead did not get any better.

Secondary disasters are frequent, the base is too simple, and supplies are in short supply...

Most importantly, during the process of building the base, too many people died.As a result, although it can be regarded as stable at the moment, there is no spare energy to expand the area of ​​the shelter, or to carry out more development and reclamation activities.

It is necessary to expand the population size as quickly as possible, and it is necessary to quickly have a large number of cheap, hard-working, labor force that can be consumed on a large scale without any distress even if it dies.

Relying on natural reproduction is simply impossible.

In desperation, the interim government decided to lift the ban on biological research on humans, hoping that through cloning technology, the population can be quickly restored and there will be enough manpower and labor quickly.

As a biologist, I became the person in charge of this research as a matter of course, and began to lead the only scientists to carry out related research with the full support of the provisional government.

After the lifting of the ban, human research has made rapid progress.Even in such a poor environment, his team quickly overcame many difficulties and mastered the technology of human cloning.

The human cloning here is not just the cloning of simple embryos, and then transplanting them into the uterus of human women to make them develop slowly.

This kind of cloning is too troublesome.It takes ten months from embryo to birth.From birth to the formation of the labor force, it will take more than ten years.

It's too slow, and the human civilization at this moment simply can't wait.

What I have studied is more similar to the "human body manufacturing" technology.That is, instead of creating embryos, they directly create adult bodies.

But with the body, what about the mind?
These created people are as simple as a blank sheet of paper, completely ignorant of the social rules of human beings, they only follow their instincts, without any moral concepts, like beasts, they eat when they are hungry, drink when they are thirsty, and drink when they have nothing to eat Yes, just go to rob, go to kill, don't know how to control yourself at all.
