Half-immortal civilization

"Cough cough..." Second Prince Lieyang Guang Boying coughed weakly, spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood.

"Your Highness!"

"Father..."

There was sadness all around.It has been a hundred years of travel, and the journey is only halfway.The space is very empty, especially after leaving the Pearl Star Field, there is no such ethereal superpower energy in the starry sky, relying on superpowers for a long time, the life that leaves the Pearl Star Field is like a fish out of water, and the body is getting weaker and weaker; The average lifespan of a person in the Pearl Star Field is 200 years old, and the life span shrinks instantly; in a hundred years, the second prince is already old!The short red hair that used to be spiritual has turned gray, like dry grass; in addition to unknown energy, there is another point, that is, the ultra-long-distance space travel, which inevitably causes the body to be unable to withstand the unknown pressure; people on earth are far away Migration from distance encountered, and not a few died.And now, the travelers from the Holy Sun Empire.However, after hundreds of years of continuous flight, it has flown a distance of about 80 light years.Traveling for such a long time and long distance, the space and time changes, radiation, etc. from the universe began to affect the living body.Of course, the universe looks very empty, but it is also very complicated. Neither the people on Earth nor the intelligent life in the Pearl Star Field can explore too much.

For example, right now, as the second prince and the most honored existence in the fleet, he still couldn't resist the influence from the universe, and now he was dying of terminal illness.The aging of the body itself.Make any medical technology powerless.The complexity of life.In particular, the complexity of intelligent life cannot be solved by a few genes or changing the body.As long as one day it is impossible to analyze the generation and transplantation of "spiritual intelligence", human beings and all intelligent life.You have to accept the arrangement of fate-inevitable death.

"How long can I live?" The second prince asked the middle-aged doctor next to him.this doctor.A man born on a spaceship.When we set off that year, there were 105 spaceships with a total population of one billion. Now there are very few billion people left.Now the spaceship is almost entirely filled with new generations. "Three years?" The second prince thought about it quietly, and the surroundings were oppressed.The difficulty of interstellar travel is beyond imagination. Although the Pearl star field has a diameter of 40 light-years, generally everyone will not travel more than 10 light-years; and because black holes distort space, as long as a little bit of space technology is enough. For a distance of 10 light years, the travel time is generally about three to five years.

It's just that in the outside world, time and space are normal, and these superficial space technologies are useless.

"Three years, it's too short..." The second prince thought for a long time, then sighed suddenly, and then finally made up his mind, "Seal me up, and when I arrive at the destination, unseal me, so that at least one day can be saved." years. To communicate with other civilizations, I think it is better for me to communicate in person.”

"Your Highness, please rest for two days. We need two days of preparation time. In addition, His Highness also needs to take and inject some anti-cell swelling medicine in these two days." The doctor was meticulous.There will be no doubts about His Highness's decision, just do your own thing well.

"Hey, it's hard for you children." The corners of the second prince's eyes suddenly became wet. Traveling in the universe is really difficult. It has only been a hundred years, and the latest born in space has already had the fifth generation, and can run around all over the place. .

The elderly second prince decided to freeze himself, suspend the loss of life, and unseal it when he reached his destination; the news swept through 105 spaceships.This means that the old generation is officially in the past, and future spaceships will be ruled by the new generation.However, the goal of space travel will not change!The new generation, under the education of the older generation, will also go to foreign civilizations and bring alternative civilizations and technologies back to their own countries as their new and only goal.This already has a pilgrimage mentality: make your own civilization stronger!
After the second prince was temporarily frozen, more than 5 important people on the spaceship also applied for freezing. For some things, it is undoubtedly better to do it yourself. Sometimes, a few words may be as good as a freshman several years of communication.

After simply lamenting, the spaceship continued to move forward without slowing down; only the occasional bursts of energy weapons and destroyed small meteorites represented the strong vitality of the spaceship.And the slightly mottled traces on the outside of the spacecraft indicate that the universe is not really empty, but there are still some tiny debris.With such a high speed of the spacecraft, these debris still pose a certain threat to the spacecraft; but it is not very large, just pay attention to it.

Afterwards, the spaceship started an endless flight mission, and the spaceship and spaceships were connected by small aircraft for limited communication.In addition, although the material reserves were sufficient when we set off, after more than 150 days, we began to be stretched.In order to cope with at least 50 years of travel, the spacecraft had to enforce birth restriction measures, which caused a sharp decline in the peak population of 11 billion.But such a method can be regarded as ensuring the healthy operation of the spacecraft.

But it is said that the current empire has entered the 400th year of the imperial calendar, and the current empire has completely changed, and the sixth emperor is currently in power.Zhang Huaiyuan is also the fourth great-great-grandson of Zhang Jingyuan.

400 years of development have made the empire truly powerful.The solar system remains at the heart of humanity, with only one Earth alone and unable to handle it.Over the years, many citizens of the empire have proposed to "recover" the earth forcefully; but the empire has considered it for a long time, but has not implemented it.After all, this is the ancestral star of mankind: the name of the ancestral star is destined to prevent the empire from using drastic means.

400 years. Within 20 light-years.A total of 58 star systems have been identified, of which 20 are of value for transformation.Among them, there is one Barnard Star West and one Earth belonging to the Republic; the rest all belong to the Empire.certainly.The division is divided like this.In fact, it is because of the vastness of the universe.Cross-star system governance is still unrealistic, and each galaxy operates independently.It's just that the countries that split from the empire are more or less respected by the empire.

now.The gap between the empire system and the republic system has become farther and farther; these gaps are mainly in practice!Of course, there is also a gap in peak technology.

As time went on, the benefits of practicing practice gradually emerged.When the average life expectancy of the earth stops at 80 years old, the average life expectancy of ordinary citizens of the empire is about 120 years; the difference of 40 years is enough for a scientist to exert more than four times the value.Not to mention, this is just an ordinary citizen!

On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the empire, another class was officially born: noble people!

Noble people, between nobles and citizens, are a group of people with social contributions and strong cultivation abilities. They all have good cultivation qualifications and certain cultivation abilities.However, nobles and citizens are legally listed as a unified class; but because they have the ability to practice and have a minimum life span of 200 years and a maximum lifespan of 500 years, a new class has been unconsciously and naturally formed.And those who practiced into the Nascent Soul stage, the empire would automatically grant the title of lord—baron; a lord does not have the ability to be hereditary, but the holder of the title enjoys the same treatment as a normal title.

However, in the understanding of the empire and the whole society, practice is regarded as the right granted to citizens by the empire, so success in practice is not considered a contribution; therefore, in the constitution of the empire, the class of nobles is not recognized; in the most strict In the constitution, noble people are citizens, but they may be richer and more capable.However, society is developing after all, and the imperial law has not officially recognized it, but society has accepted this class, and they even have their own representatives, associations, etc.

Also, as people with spiritual blood lived longer and multiplied more and more, the number of the noble class was expanding rapidly; in comparison, the number of citizens was constantly decreasing.It can be predicted that under this ruthless natural elimination rule, after a thousand years, the empire will no longer have a citizen class!In other words, the citizen class may be "upgraded" to the "protection ranks".Only those with noble blood can continuously gain new living space.Because those who do not have the blood of cultivation will gradually be eliminated by this society. Human beings have never stopped moving forward, let alone stop.

Of course, the long lifespan has also led to a large number of excellent scientists springing up like mushrooms after rain, and each of them has a strong memory ability, a strong life, and a long lifespan.Some people commented that an excellent scientist in the empire has the ability to create his own civilized country!The top scientists, coupled with their practice, are all monsters with the ability to destroy the world.Of course, the empire that can control these monsters is as deep as a mountain and cannot be detected.

Not long ago, Zhang Huaiyuan, the sixth emperor who took over the throne, saw the changes in society, and implemented the New Deal, which pushed this prosperous world to its peak!This new policy is: the empire began to try to develop into a civilization that integrates practice and technology, and truly pushes human civilization to a civilization with the ability to expand the universe!
As for citizens and nobles, Zhang Huaiyuan also treats them equally for a good reason: the offspring of ordinary people may have the qualifications for cultivation; while the offspring of practitioners may not have the ability to practice.The power of inheritance is still not fully resolved by current technology.From the point of view of practice, inheritance is also related to the soul—and the study of the soul is still the weakness of science.

Over the past 20 years of the New Deal, unprecedented enthusiasm has erupted in a society that is at the peak of temporary technology and nearly stagnant.Practice has completely revealed the mysterious cotton yarn, and it has become a standard course in the 12-year compulsory education!

In just 20 years, technology and practice have begun to try to integrate fundamentally!Basically, it is the integration of theory.

Science, pay attention to seeking truth from facts, seeing is believing; pay more attention to accumulation and theory.

And practice, pay attention to illusory...

But recently, with the development of cosmic information theory, with the development of science and technology, and with the increase in the number of practitioners, finally there are monster-like geniuses born.Huang Daoxuan, an ordinary practitioner, published a remarkable research theory: The theory says that both practice and technology are the application of energy and matter.From the perspective of the final expected result, the reason is the same.Moreover, practice and technology are not entirely incompatible.The development of science and technology requires theory, and the pinnacle of practice requires mastering the rules of heaven and earth.In fact, the so-called rules of heaven and earth, when manifested, are not just formulas!
Afterwards, I attached my own research on palm thunder, as well as research reports on lightning and electric energy, and even used a machine to simulate a palm thunder that can be controlled by a computer!This is the first time that humans use machines to launch spell attacks!
Huang Daoxuan has become the darling of another era with a thesis, and human beings have been affected by this, and they have taken a big step forward on the road of complete integration of technology and practice!Afterwards, Huang Daoxuan gathered a group of like-minded people, summed up the technological achievements of the predecessors, and proposed a new technological system: metaphysical technology!The scientific system that perfectly integrates practice and traditional technology is also a new practice system.
