Embryo culture room.

The situation of this culture room at this time is completely different from before.

The culture chamber has disappeared into thin air.

The bean-sized embryo has lost its support and is suspended in the air.

The nutrient solution that originally wrapped the embryo has also disappeared.

A total of 900 nutrient solution output tubes connected to the embryo culture chamber are open, and a large amount of high-concentration nutrient solution is spraying out from the tube mouth.

But not a drop of liquid fell on the floor of the culture room.

These energy liquids that gushed out like opening a gate to release water were all absorbed by the reviving embryo with similar characteristics to the crystal water bear.

The absorption problem that had troubled the nutrition group in the past was solved.

Because the embryo is essentially a miniature crystal water bear, it can absorb energy and convert matter into energy before absorbing it.

Many nutrient solution formulas that failed in previous tests, as well as a large number of stock formula raw materials, are now all used.

There is no need to consider the precise ratio, and it does not even need to be completely melted. Just add a little water, so that it can enter the pipeline for transportation, and it can be used.

In the small culture room, a vortex composed of nutrient solution has now condensed.

The embryo is the center of the vortex.

Silently, an injection port on the top of the culture room slowly opened, and began to sizzle out transparent liquid.

Invisible to the naked eye, mutant DNA chains of HeLa cells flowed into the culture chamber along with the solution, and at an extremely fast speed, they followed the direction of the vortex flow and surged towards the embryo.

At this time, the flying speed of the corpse planet had reached 299,700 kilometers per second, which was about to reach the speed of light.

Yang Guoding lay on another bed next to Lin La's bed.

His eyelids were opening and closing with difficulty.

He was tired and wanted to sleep.

Every cell in his body seemed to be telling him that it was time to sleep.

Now Yang Guoding already knew the reason for this, and he also knew that as long as he slept at this time, he would definitely sleep forever.

The closer the physical speed is to the speed of light, the faster the proportion of matter being stretched expands, and it is growing madly in a geometric series.

His body has been stretched too long. Even a single cell has become a line millions of kilometers long.

Every transmission of nerve signals has become a long march.

But Yang Guoding gritted his teeth and tried his best to keep his mind clear, even though he needed more than ten seconds of "delay" to complete a complete thought each time.

He is still waiting for the opportunity.

He stared at the management system model in front of him.

The green dots of light representing the lives of his colleagues are going out one after another.

These dots of light are like the longevity lamps in the ancient palace. Every time a lamp is extinguished, a person is lost.

But the nutrient supply in the embryo room is still stable, and the injection of HeLa genes is still proceeding step by step.

The scanned model of the embryo has one more data than before, which is the degree of fusion between the HeLa gene and the embryo.

The HeLa DNA, which is invincible in the human body, has changed in the world of virtual energy. It is no longer as strong as before and will still be downgraded to original energy, but it carries some information compared to ordinary original energy.

This information successfully interferes with the virtual energy tissue in the embryo.

As the fusion ratio continues to increase, when it exceeds 99%, the virtual energy cells finally restart their active division.

At this moment, a harsh sound rang out again in the research institute base.

This is not an alarm, but the last reminder that it is about to reach the speed of light.

The current flying speed of the corpse planet is 299792458 meters per second.

Officially reaching the speed of light.

Yang Guoding "fell asleep".

But before he fell asleep, the thought he had conveyed in advance completed the last step of the operation, activating the last of the Institute's energy reserves, instantly injecting it into the embryo, and returning it to energy.

Under the monitoring of countless external detectors or electromagnetic waves, or optical, or quantum scanning methods, the corpse planet and the eighteen Worm III spaceships disappeared in the universe.

Instead, there was an extremely concentrated beam of light.

No one knows how long this beam of light is.

Starting from the place where the corpse planet disappeared, the light kept moving forward like Pinocchio's nose, piercing into the deep space of the universe.

Millions of kilometers, tens of millions of kilometers, hundreds of millions of kilometers...

A year passed.

Two years passed.

The light is still stretching? Like a laser flashlight that will never go out.

Under all human monitoring methods, it is just a seemingly ordinary beam of light.

No one knows where it ends.

Perhaps, if there were no obstacles, it could illuminate the edge of the universe.

Fanxing spent years watching the light go away.

Afterwards, Fanxing wrote the story of the Primitive Gene Research Institute into her confidential database and put it together with Chen Feng's memory.

Fanxing felt somewhat guilty.

She had disappointed Lin La.

Lin La wanted to leave her name in history, but now the deeds of her, Yang Guoding, and everyone else had to become a secret.

In fact, most of the external staff involved in this project did not know that this matter was related to the resurrection plan of the ancient sage. The

few insiders did not need others to read out the confidentiality regulations. They knew with their toes that everything about the ancient sage was the highest secret of mankind.

In the war of civilization, there are always some unknown heroes who will sacrifice for the most noble goal in unknown places and unknown ways.

Only when the war is over and civilization enters the era of peace, these unspeakable secrets can be taken out again.

Fanxing looked down at the piece of paper in front of her again.

That was the last sentence the blank poet who noticed her existence said to her.

"Our personality will become the nourishment for the sage's revival? Our beliefs will gather into his thinking guide. We left him a seed. This seed will grow into a bridge? Connecting the personality of the sage in the future with the memory symbol left by his previous life. The bridge will allow him to recover his memories bit by bit. By then, the sage will usher in a real rebirth. Please wait quietly, one day, he will reappear in the universe when humans need him? In the posture that humans need? To complete his unfinished business. This is the answer given to us by the consciousness of the universe. We are born in the universe, so we must believe in the universe."

A smile gradually appeared on Fanxing's face.

She not only recalled the "past".

In the past timelines, I had to wait for him to meet me again in confusion every time.

This time, I took over the responsibility of watching over the progress of mankind from him, and waited with stronger expectations.

This feeling is pretty good.

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. It is 2801.

The nameless fleet has been sailing in the galaxy for a full 87 years.

57 years have passed since 2743.

During these 57 years, human technological development has stagnated on a large scale.

Almost more than 90% of the new achievements are related to the use of real energy, virtual energy and cosmic median values.

This belongs to the field of applied science and has not made much progress in basic disciplines.

Simply put, it means that humans seem to have touched the limit of cosmic technology, and can only accumulate quantitative changes, but can no longer trigger qualitative changes.

The huge stargate has connected the entire Orion Arm.

Humanity has expanded its territory and has begun to deeply involve itself in the Perseus Arm.

Going further in, as the battle line between humans and the Compound Eyes shifts, humans have also built hundreds of super-large dispersed settlements in the Sagittarius spiral arm, each consisting of dozens of stars and thousands of stars.

After a brief stagnation in the early 28th century, the total human population began to expand exponentially again, just like in the 20th century.

The huge productivity revolution has brought about an even greater population expansion.

But population expansion does not mean absolute technological advancement, and humans still need to continue moving forward along the established path.

In March 2801, after decades of waiting, an unprecedented revolutionary technology was born.

The Earth Biological Research Institute compared HeLa cells, the original genetic information of the first generation of life on Earth, and Chen Feng's genetic information, and then incorporated many analysis results extracted by Fanxing from Chen Feng's resurrection plan. The human body freezing technology that humans have longed for finally revealed the tip of the iceberg.

...

In the combat training room of the main battleship of the Nameless Fleet, Tong Ling finished a day's teaching and walked towards the shuttle with her hands in her pockets.

The students watched her back go away, and there was inevitably a trace of worship and awe in their eyes.

Tong Ling has been deployed more than ten times in the past few decades.

She has proved her ability far superior to her peers with her iron-fighting achievements and established a great reputation.

"Instructor Tong is really good-looking. Alas, it's a pity..."

After Tong Ling walked away, a young man muttered in a low voice.

This is a 30-year-old synthetic human, a hybrid of the Long Arms and the Suns, with a very lively personality and a lot of courage.

Bang!

The Orton warrior next to him stretched out his big hand and knocked on his head, "What are you thinking, idiot."

"I think that Instructor Tong is a bit selfish. She is so powerful, so her genes must have a high fighting talent, but why is she always unwilling to share a little? Even if she only provides an embryo occasionally, it can be considered a contribution."

"How dare you say such a swear word?"

"If Instructor Tong hears it, you will be skinned alive."

"Forget it, your brothers will teach you a lesson now, in case Instructor Tong finds out someday. You can tell him that you have been taught a lesson, otherwise you will be in trouble."

So, the poor young man was beaten up on the spot.

Tong Ling returned to the room, took off her combat uniform, and wore only a black tight vest, which showed off her exquisite figure.

Although she was already 128 years old, she looked like she was still in her twenties.

Tong Ling went to the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, and then stared at herself in the mirror.

She actually heard everything that the fool had said behind her back.

But she was too lazy to care.

Over the years, as her military exploits grew, she took over the duties of Instructor Long and became the chief instructor of combat training for the entire fleet. In her daily teaching, she had to put on a cold face. Others began to be more and more afraid of her unconsciously, and even attached their own fantasy horror personality to her.

She didn't care, nor did she feel troubled.

Her distress was about another thing.

One day in 2740, after she called Brother T again and failed to get a response, she applied to the fleet commander Qin Guang for the highest right to know.

Eight years later, Tong Ling was lucky enough to get the highest level of trust authorization from the main brain Fanxing, which allowed her to know the truth about the abnormal phenomenon of star beams that occurred between 2740 and 2745.

Tong Ling connected the cause and effect and suddenly realized something.

Instructor Long and Brother T are actually the same person, the sage Chen Feng who ordinary people thought had been dead for hundreds of years.

She finally realized it.

No wonder the ultimate training given by Brother T is so similar to what happened in the fantasy history, the battle details are designed so realistically, the logic is so strict, and the difficulty of completing it is so high.

It turns out that this is exactly what the sages have done. When you can do it yourself, you will indeed have the ability to be compared with the sages.

The shock in her heart is indescribable.

As a solar system person born on Ceres, she has lived in the legend of the sages since she was born.

That man was so great. Although there was no statue of him in the universe due to his will, almost everyone could remember his life story by heart, and would be deeply shocked by the things he accomplished in the history of nothingness.

In addition, T100 also occupied a large proportion in her life.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had been challenging the training that T100 left for her.

Although the two of them had talked only a few times, Tong Ling could deeply feel that every time she became stronger, Brother T's tone of voice would be more satisfied.

This subtle and clever change affected her mind little by little.

Her struggle was not only for herself, but also because she wanted to prove something in front of Brother T.

Instructor Long, who pretended to be the sage's pseudo-personality, also left a deep mark in her life, completely changing her life, allowing her to find herself and unleash all her talents.

This kind of kindness is hard to describe in words.

Since the Hanjie Galaxy Campaign, Tong Ling and other fighters in the Nameless Fleet have spent many years under the guidance of Instructor Long.

But after 2740, Instructor Long and Brother T suddenly disappeared together, without even saying goodbye.

Tong Ling was puzzled by this, but she couldn't ask around until 2748, when she was authorized and finally knew the truth.

After realizing that the sage who was worshipped by hundreds of millions of people had invested so much effort in her, she was both terrified and proud.

After being certain that the sage would reappear in the 31st century, Tong Ling was happy for a long time.

Until a few years ago, when her life span exceeded 120 years, which was roughly equivalent to the 30-year-olds in the 21st century, she began to see traces of aging on the face in the mirror, which were almost imperceptible but objectively existed.

Tong Ling realized with despair that she would not live to see the sage for 3,000 years.

She obviously had a lot to say to him.

She even dreamed of seeing the sage driving the new Forge armor.

But these wonderful fantasies were as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the invisible blade of time.

An indescribable loss enveloped her heart.

This is Tong Ling's biggest secret.

"Alas. But I'm getting older day by day."

Tong Ling turned and left the mirror.
