Chapter 158: The Savior (Complete Book)
A large amount of rock was instantly vaporized, but the rock layer was too thick and ultimately still firmly bound this huge energy.
With nowhere to vent, they can only rush to the outside through the channels preset by people.
In an instant, tens of thousands of cones were accelerated from a standstill to tens of kilometers per second. In that instant, the immense air resistance exerted upon them, causing them to deform instantly and their temperature to rise sharply.
They began to rotate uncontrollably, and at an extremely high speed that could not be reproduced by any human machine.
Although they only rotated for less than a microsecond and only a few turns before exploding instantly due to centrifugal force, they at least rotated.
Gravitational waves have been radiated.
At this moment, tens of thousands of dazzling balls of light appeared at the same time on the land where the "cannon" was located, and endless dust instantly covered the entire land.
The earth trembled and the sun and moon lost their light.
But even with such a violent explosion, it was just an ordinary one among the more than 2,000 Earth cannons, and a less powerful one at that.
At almost the same time, another Earth cannon fired hundreds of kilometers away.
Then the third door, the fourth door...
Within an hour, a total of more than 2,000 earth cannons were fired according to the predetermined plan.
People have observed that because their power is so great, even the earth's plates have shifted a certain distance and the movement of the plates has been affected.
In the coming period, I am afraid that there will be more geological movements such as earthquakes and volcanoes.
But no one is paying attention to these things at the moment.
All people's attention is focused on one thing.
Did we... succeed?
At this moment, no one knows the answer to this question.
All people know is that after the firing of two thousand Earth cannons and the rotation of tens of millions of shells, the gravitational wave signal encoding human genetic information has been broadcast in all directions of the universe with the Earth as the center.
These highly penetrating "space ripples" are hardly affected by any external factors.
Even a wall that is 10 billion light years thick cannot block the transmission of these signals.
Because their penetrating power is too strong, and their interaction with any real matter is too weak.
Once they are created, they become part of the universe and cannot be eliminated.
Now, they are traveling outward at the speed of light.
It was still a short time since they were generated, so they did not travel too far.
But it doesn't matter.
What people need is a possibility, not that they are actually transmitted to a super alien civilization and that alien civilization actually creates a human being according to this blueprint.
As long as there is this possibility, it is enough.
So… if everything goes well, then the Moon God Civilization that exists in the “possibility set” should have already lost the possibility of human extinction forever, and along with that continent of possibilities, it should have begun a process of being reversed by the law, completely hollowed out, and unable to be chosen again.
They should have already started the process of extinction.
The restrictions imposed on humans should also disappear simultaneously with the disappearance of the Moon God civilization.
In this case...our fertility should be restored within a short period of time.
So, has it recovered?
Images of the reproductive laboratory appeared on the big screen in the conference hall.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, several people in white coats operated the equipment to take out 100 samples each from the sperm and egg banks, and then started the sperm-egg fusion test again.
If human fertility has been restored, then within about 48 hours the fertilized egg will begin its first mitosis, which means that the embryo has been formed.
Then the only thing to do next is to wait.
Although this was a live broadcast to the whole world and the live footage of the reproductive laboratory could be seen everywhere, the people in the conference hall still stubbornly stayed there and refused to leave.
When he was hungry, he would just eat something. When he was sleepy, he would lie down on the conference table and take a nap. When he woke up, he would raise his head again and stare at the picture on the big screen, as if this would provide some help for the sperm and egg to gather together.
People were silent and waiting.
In this kind of anxiety, some worries that had been temporarily forgotten because of their previous all-out participation in the Earth Cannon Project once again surfaced in people's minds.
The ascending-dimensional teacher said that there is no possibility of a savior being born in the human world anymore.
Without a savior, how can civilization be saved?
So...are we really saved at this point?
Did we really succeed?
Or is this time just like the past, just another false hope and expectation?
This is the final charge for the entire human world...
If we fail again this time, we really won't have the energy to charge again...
Amidst all the complicated thoughts, people are still waiting silently.
Time passes slowly.
The staff on duty once again made a round to check the status of the sperm and egg combination - normally, they would only make a round once a day. But this time, they did a round almost every five minutes.
The staff member examined it carefully, and finally, his body froze in front of one of the petri dishes.
He watched quietly, motionless for a long time.
People looked at each other, not knowing what was going on there.
He stood there frozen for two minutes, and people all over the world waited in silence for two minutes.
His body slowly began to tremble from stillness.
He raised his head, showing his slightly distorted face to everyone in the world.
"It, it split..."
He spoke tremblingly, as if he had used up all his strength, and roared heartbreakingly: "It's split! It's split!
It's split! Woo woo woo woo..."
It was impossible to tell from his face whether he was happy, sad or angry at the moment.
In other words, there was no emotion on his face at the moment, except excitement.
His voice had also become distorted, and it seemed that he could not say anything other than this sentence.
He just kept repeating the words "It's split" several times, howling loudly a few times, and then repeating "It's split" again, as if he had gone mad.
More staff members rushed in, rushed to the petri dish like beggars seeing a big steamed bun, and observed it through the microscope.
So after a moment, everyone in the reproductive laboratory went crazy.
The people in front of the screen looked at each other, each looking at their friends and colleagues with inquiring eyes.
When the sound of "it split" continued to reach people's ears, people seemed to finally confirm that all this was true.
Division is the beginning of development.
An egg cell divides into two, then four, eight... more and more, and eventually becomes an embryo.
After ten months of pregnancy, the baby is born.
Yes, it's a baby...
It's a baby!
It is a baby that represents new life, continuation, hope and inheritance!
Countless loud cries and laughter rang out in the conference hall at the same time.
These two sounds are completely opposite, but at this moment, they blend together so harmoniously.
People were crying, laughing, hugging, and roaring.
Liu Yu sat quietly in his seat with a relieved smile on his face.
Finally succeeded...
Ah Cheng, did you see that? We succeeded.
Zhou Cheng's figure seemed to appear before her eyes again, as well as the figures of countless people who had fought for this moment all their lives and dedicated all their blood and lives.
At this moment, Liu Yu suddenly understood.
I understand everything.
The Moon Goddess and the Ascending Dimension Sect were actually not wrong in their judgment.
It is true that the human world will never produce another savior.
Our human world does not violate the laws of physics.
Neither the physical laws of the ordinary matter universe nor the physical laws of the dark matter universe are violated.
This is true, 100 percent true.
But... does the human world really need a savior?
Does human civilization really need the birth of a savior to be saved?
No.
Just like now, is there a savior? Who is it?
Is it Sun Huiya? No. Although she made a crucial contribution, it was based on the work of Liu Hong, who published a paper earlier.
Is Liu Hong the savior?
No. He completed the paper with the help of his team and based on the direction of "gravitational waves" that he proposed.
So... am I the savior?
No. Without Zhou Cheng’s proposal that “dark matter is the collection of all future possibilities,” I would not have been able to make my judgment.
Is Zhou Cheng the savior?
It was indeed as the "mentor" said, Zhou Cheng had indeed lost the possibility of becoming a savior.
He is not a savior. In fact, his own contributions were made with the help of countless scientific researchers in human civilization.
Liu Yu thought of Professors Wang Liyun, Mo Wei Zhong, and Zheng Yunong who had lost their lives in the Yangjiagou ruins. He also thought of the lives of ordinary and outstanding people who had paid the price of verifying one hypothesis after another. He also thought of those who had burned their lives in a short period of time in order to implement the Earth Cannon Plan.
Who is the savior?
There is no savior. Or rather, everyone is a savior.
Even if he is just a caregiver for a patient - with him taking care of the patient, the others can concentrate on their struggle;
Even if he is just a chef - with him responsible for cooking the dishes, people have the energy to work;
Even if he is just a driver, the Earth Cannon Project can only be carried out if he is responsible for the transportation of supplies;
Even if he is a vegetable washer, dishwasher, farmer, scientist, official...
Everyone is a savior.
No one is a savior.
Liu Yu raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a slight smile.
"It's true that our human civilization has no savior, but so what?"
Suddenly, an ancient melody that was popular in the heyday of the times inexplicably appeared in Liu Yu's mind, making her unconsciously hum along with the melody.
“There has never been a savior, and we don’t rely on gods or emperors.
To create human happiness, it all depends on ourselves.
We must take back the fruits of our labor. Slaves, rise up! Don’t say we have nothing! We want to be the masters of the world…”
Amidst the excitement, Liu Yu's humming was so soft that it was almost impossible for anyone to notice it.
But for some reason, some people began to hum along with Liu Yu and sang loudly together.
There were only a few people at the beginning, but soon almost everyone joined in the singing.
Not only the conference hall, but also every cradle, every city, and every person on earth where people still live began to sing.
There has never been a savior, nor do we rely on gods or emperors...
…
"Professor Liu, please rest assured. As the primary decision-maker, I can solemnly promise you on behalf of the entire world government.
Our human civilization will certainly do its utmost to develop aerospace technology. Once the time is ripe, we will immediately set off for Mercury and bring Professor Zhou back.
We will also devote all our efforts to the development of biotechnology and try every possible means to wake up Professor Zhou.
This is not just my personal commitment, but the commitment of all of us policymakers, world governments, and all of human civilization.”
Listening to the faint cry of a baby coming from outside, Liu Yu smiled and shook his head.
Recently, sperm banks and egg banks have been fully operational, and combined with natural births, an average of more than 10,000 babies are born every day.
In order to cope with the baby boom, the World Government has made every effort to deploy personnel and materials, and even converted some rooms in the World Government Building into nurseries.
Therefore, recently no matter where I go, I can hear the crying of babies, which makes me dizzy.
"I didn't come to you to talk about this."
"Oh? So you are..."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "I remember we still have one of those experimental hibernation chambers in stock, right? Freeze me. Wait until you bring Ah Cheng back and wake him up, then come and wake me up. I want to wait for him."
The first decision maker was a little shocked.
"Professor Liu, you understand that current hibernation technology is very immature and carries significant risks."
Liu Yu nodded: "I understand. But now that the disaster is over, there is no place that can use me. I want to live for myself.
Even if I die accidentally due to immature hibernation technology, it doesn’t matter, at least I can die with Ah Cheng. "
The first decision maker remained silent.
He understood that if it were not for Zhou Cheng's "last wish", the dignified and elegant middle-aged woman in front of him would have ended her life long ago.
After Zhou Cheng left, she continued to fight for civilization for more than ten years, and ultimately made important contributions to mankind's solution to disasters.
In that case...
The First Decision Maker sighed, "I promise you. Rest assured, the entire civilization will do its utmost to retrieve Professor Zhou Cheng and awaken you and Professor Zhou Cheng."
The hibernation cabin hatch slowly closed.
"Will I ever wake up again? Will I ever see Cheng again?"
With a little expectation and a little relaxation, Liu Yu slowly closed his eyes.
Time flies and the world changes.
"Three, two, one, fire!"
At the rocket launch site, a giant rocket, the latest development of human civilization, with a height of more than 150 meters and a diameter of more than ten meters, ejected a hot and bright flame from its tail.
Amidst this huge movement that seemed like an earthquake, the huge rocket slowly took off into the sky.
The commentator's voice was heard simultaneously on the TV screen.
"This was the last of 16 Mercury missions.
The main mission of this launch was to replenish personnel and supplies for the newly developed "Mercury" spacecraft.
The entire resupply mission is expected to last three days. After a period of debugging and repairs, the Mercury spacecraft will finally set sail a month later, taking 10 years to reach Mercury and returning to Earth within three years.
During this Mercury voyage, in addition to routine scientific research missions, the astronauts will carry out a most important mission.
Bring back our hero, Zhou Cheng!
Here, we wish you a complete success on this voyage!"
…
Ten years later.
A landing spacecraft slowly landed on the desolate and silent land of Mercury.
The sun hung on the horizon, with only a tiny sliver of it visible. But even that tiny sliver of sunlight still emitted a blindingly hot light, raising the temperature of the dead earth to over 100 degrees Celsius.
The five astronauts left the landing spacecraft and slowly moved forward under the sunlight and under the protection of their space suits.
There seems to be some reflections ahead.
As the astronauts slowly approached, they could see clearly that the reflections were solar panels.
After a long period of scorching sun and the double torture of high temperature and cold, they showed obvious signs of damage.
but……
After some inspection, they were somewhat delighted to find that although the performance of these solar panels had dropped sharply, they were still functioning.
"Okay, I just received news from Mercury. Although the power of the solar panels Zhou Cheng installed over a hundred years ago has been reduced to less than 5% of its peak power, they are still working.
This is good news.
Dr. Sun, you are an expert in human hibernation. Could a hibernation chamber built with the technology of humanity's peak era operate at this power?"
"From what I understand, there's absolutely no problem. We'll leave enough redundancy..."
…
At the push of a button, the hatch slowly opened. The astronauts entered the cabin, which had been silent for over a hundred years, and saw that because the interior had always maintained a vacuum, there was no sign of damage.
Everything remains the same as it was over a hundred years ago.
The astronauts arrived in front of the hibernation chamber.
Through the hatch of the hibernation chamber, people could clearly see Zhou Cheng who seemed to be asleep.
Standing solemnly in a row, the five astronauts bent down towards the hibernation chamber at the same time.
"Senior Zhou Cheng, we are here to take you home."
…
It felt like I had a very long dream, or like my consciousness had left my body.
Now, it finally returned to its body.
Zhou Cheng slowly opened his eyes and saw many people he didn't recognize surrounding him. He could also hear faint voices: "Professor Zhou is awake... awake..."
In a trance, he lost consciousness again.
I felt much better when I woke up again.
In front of me was an old man with a wrinkled face.
"I am the current first decision-maker, and these are my colleagues. Professor Zhou Cheng, on behalf of the entire world government and all of human civilization, we welcome you home."
The old man stood up solemnly and, along with several equally old men, bowed deeply to Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng showed a weak but relaxed smile on his face, and a few tears slowly slid down from the corners of his eyes.
He knew that the disaster must have been resolved and human civilization must have started to develop again.
Zhou Cheng's body recovered quickly. Not long after, he was able to get out of bed and walk again.
At Zhou Cheng's strong request, medical staff pushed his wheelchair and took him to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital.
Here, he saw many women who had just given birth and were still weak, and he saw wrinkled little babies lying in cribs.
A smile appeared on Zhou Cheng's face.
The medical staff pushed him into a kindergarten.
It was just after school, and parents who came to pick up their children gathered together, waiting.
Ding-ling-ling...
The school bell rang, the kindergarten gate opened, and many children rushed out.
"Dad! I want to eat candied haws!"
"Dad, can you buy me a hamburger?"
"I want a car!"
A little girl with pigtails and a lollipop stopped in front of Zhou Cheng with curiosity.
"Uncle, are you sick?"
Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, uncle is sick. Little boy, what's your name and how old are you?"
"My name is Yaya, and I am five years old."
"Five years old... Then what year were you born?"
"Uncle, can't you count? Of course I was born in the 149th year of the New Calendar."
"Oh...it's the 149th year of the New Calendar. Yaya is so smart. Go quickly, your mother is waiting for you."
The little girl named Yaya hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Zhou Cheng, saying, "My mother told me that if I'm sick, I need to eat more fruits, drink more water, and take medicine on time to get better.
But the medicine is bitter. I'll give you a lollipop. If the medicine tastes bitter, lick the lollipop and it won't be bitter anymore.
Goodbye, uncle, I'm leaving!"
"Goodbye, goodbye..."
Zhou Cheng smiled and waved his hands, tears flowing uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
The human civilization that I had only seen in my dreams before...is finally back.
Suddenly, the figure that I had dreamt of countless times appeared in my mind again.
Ayu, how have you spent your life?
It's already the 149th year of the new calendar. Over a hundred years have passed in a flash. You...
During this time, Zhou Cheng had been asking the medical staff about Liu Yu's situation, but they always avoided the question and never responded directly.
So Zhou Cheng stopped asking.
He probably knew the reason, which was simply that he was afraid of irritating himself and affecting his recovery.
But, but I still really miss her.
Now, people's lives have returned to normal, but what about me?
In silence, Zhou Cheng returned to the ward again.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
On this day, the first decision maker came to Zhou Cheng's ward again.
"Professor Zhou, I have something to inform you about Professor Liu Yu."
Zhou Cheng suddenly looked up and stared at him intently.
The first decision-maker said with some helplessness, "It's not our fault. Professor Liu Yu told us not to speak before, so we had no choice but to follow her advice."
Um?
Zhou Cheng was slightly startled, his heart quietly tensing.
"Professor Liu Yu's situation is as follows. In the first year of the new calendar, Professor Liu Yu, like you, entered hibernation.
She asked us to wake her up only after we pick you up and wake you up.
Later, thanks to the development of biotechnology and some luck, we were able to wake you and Professor Liu Yu. But Professor Liu Yu said... she didn't want you to see her haggard appearance, and she needed to recover for a while, and only let you know when she was almost recovered. So..."
The first decision maker said helplessly: "Although Professor Zhou Cheng is older than me in absolute terms, you are actually much younger than me. Is it okay for me to call you a young man?
You young people, really are..."
He shook his head and sighed, "Professor Liu Yu has almost recovered now. If you want to see her, I can arrange it for you."
Zhou Cheng's voice was trembling: "I, I want to see her."
"Can."
A car sped away. After a long moment, it stopped. Zhou Cheng opened the door and jumped out.
Looking forward, Zhou Cheng's gaze was like iron filings attracted by a magnet, unable to move away.
A woman with long hair, a slender figure, long legs, and an intellectual and dignified appearance was looking at him with a hint of shyness.
Zhou Cheng walked over involuntarily as if his mind was controlled, and then hugged the figure he had seen countless times in his dreams tightly.
"Ayu, it's great to see you again."
Liu Yu whispered, "I'm old now, not pretty anymore."
"You will always be the most beautiful in my heart, forever and ever."
A smile appeared on Liu Yu's face, and he hugged Zhou Cheng tightly as well.
At this moment, the setting sun is already hanging in the sky and is about to fall into the horizon.
The soft sunlight shines on the city. The sounds of car horns, hawking and laughter fill the entire city, which is full of the breath of human life.
