Chapter 153: All Failed
Time passed quietly, and with the intensive preparations of several project teams, the first plan was finally ready.
"Deep Space" antenna array control center.
This is the only high-power deep-space communication antenna currently in human civilization. Zhou Cheng's initial mission to Mercury, as well as subsequent communications with Mercury, were accomplished through this array antenna.
Now, it has been debugged and the relevant information about the human genome has been prepared.
At this moment, the information is no longer presented in the way that people are familiar with, but is replaced by countless zeros and ones. Moreover, the arrangement of these zeros and ones is also different from ordinary computer codes, but follows another arrangement method.
Mathematics and physics.
Human culture and writing belong only to human civilization. For other civilizations, they may have different cultures and writing systems, and different ways of thinking.
This means that they may be completely unable to understand the information sent by humans.
But if we use the language of mathematics and physics, there is no such concern, because mathematics and physics are universal throughout the universe.
Despite the huge power supply, a low, high-frequency buzzing sound came from the antenna array, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
That's it doing its best, using the highest power, to send this information out in the form of radio waves.
The transmission lasted for a full five hours before the entire massive gene bank data was sent. But this wasn't the end.
It turned around and started sending again, and even after the Earth rotated to the right angle, it would repeat the sending again.
People have calculated that it needs to repeat this message more than 100 times to barely cover the entire celestial sphere.
Then, more than ten days passed. At this moment, the buzzing sound that had lasted for more than ten days finally disappeared.
Humans have already broadcast the "source code" that constitutes themselves to the entire universe at the highest power.
If this really worked, then... the Moon Goddess should have been exterminated by us.
In another laboratory, in a pure air environment, a new sperm-egg combination experiment began again.
Two days later, the results came out.
The sperm and egg failed to combine successfully.
This plan was abandoned without hesitation.
Next, the second plan was completed.
It is still the same rocket launch site.
The old engineers looked at the rocket reluctantly, their eyes full of nostalgia.
"This is the last one... Once this rocket is launched, we will have no more."
"That's good. We don't have to perform maintenance anymore. We don't have to stay here anymore. We can go back to the cradle."
"Haha, yes, that's a good thing."
People were chatting and laughing, saying it was a good thing, but they always looked like they were worried and reluctant to leave.
Under the gazes of various complex people, the rocket successfully ignited, pierced the sky, and flew into the boundless sea of stars.
After several changes of orbit, the spacecraft carrying the human genome information finally gained the speed to break free from the gravity of the earth and even the gravity of the sun, and entered the vast deep space, never to return.
It flew away carrying people's hopes.
This plan has been implemented.
If it worked, people's fertility would have been restored by now.
After waiting for two days, the result came again.
Failure of sperm and egg fusion.
Undeterred, people started their third attempt.
A tightly sealed box was buried in a specially selected, geologically stable location. Meanwhile, the team tasked with recording the human genome in stone had completed their work.
However, the sperm and egg fusion failed again.
The team responsible for gene editing, trying to integrate the human genome into the genes of other species, also reported bad news.
Their plan failed.
This cannot be achieved with the current level of human technology.
Therefore, this plan was abandoned before its success rate was verified.
After failing again and again, there is only one option left.
That underground base that can theoretically last for 500,000 years.
After a while, it was also built.
It all adopts the most reliable and simplest possible structure to ensure that it can be maintained by only one person in the future.
Its area is not large, but it can still provide enough food for one or two people.
An old man who participated in the experiment entered and began to cultivate the first embryo.
After a month, the frozen embryo develops and grows slowly in the artificial womb.
At this time, the sperm-egg fusion test begins again.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the person in charge of the sperm-egg fusion test announced the result with a heavy face.
Still a failure.
This plan failed again, so the base was temporarily abandoned and all test personnel and equipment were evacuated.
Now, every plan proposed by people, as long as it is not too outrageous and humans have the ability to realize it, has been verified.
However, all failed and no one survived.
The human world, which had been slightly expectant and had regained a little vitality, fell silent again.
With so many options, is there really no one that can give us the possibility of continuing?
No matter what, there must be one, right?
For example, cosmic broadcasts, information records, and the spacecraft sent into space...
There has to be one that works, right? Why... why are all of them ineffective?
Faced with these failures, Liu Yu also fell silent.
But after a period of adjustment, she recovered quickly.
Because she remembered that when the mentor of the Shengwei Sect was captured, Zhou Cheng also suffered a huge blow.
But it only took a few days for him to adjust and recover.
In the dark, that figure who was not very strong but always moved forward silently and never stopped because of any setbacks or accidents became the pillar in Liu Yu's heart.
"Why did everything fail? What exactly went wrong?"
Liu Yu was silent, thinking, and repeatedly reviewing every detail of this entire set of logic and reasoning.
During the day, she is still a part-time teacher and physicist. In addition to imparting knowledge to children, she also conducts her own research in the institute.
At night, Liu Yu would always be stuck in this problem, thinking about it persistently and never stopping.
During this long period of thinking, she gradually came to understanding.
"I think... I think I know what's going on."
In the darkness, Liu Yu sat up from the bed, his eyes unusually bright.
