Chapter 108 Evolution [Second Update]
"I don't think aliens can be so kind." Not invading is probably the greatest kindness of aliens.
However, is it possible?
He Ziqian was the first to disagree with this theory, and with just one sentence, he instantly shattered the pacifist fantasies of some people.
No one could refute He Ziqian's words. For a moment, the conference room fell into silence again, a deathly silence.
"Then what about the theory of human evolution you talked about before? It's not valid?" The young researcher who initially proposed to take Ruan Xi back to the research institute asked the doubts in his heart anxiously. He almost lay down in the conference room, staring at Ruan Xi without blinking, for fear that if he glanced at him incorrectly, Ruan Xi would give a negative answer.
"Of course not! The alien race is a newly born race and needs to be perfected. We humans, on the other hand, are stimulated and influenced by external conditions and passively enter a new round of evolution. The key is that while the alien race absorbs human genes, humans, with a certain probability, also absorb the alien race's genes in return. Under such stimulation, humans must evolve in a favorable direction in order to survive and develop."
Ruan Xi tried to explain it in as much detail as possible, combining the information Xiaoshu had told him with his own understanding, and told it one by one to the group of people in front of him, who at least represented a part of humanity's most advanced scientific research capabilities.
In his previous life, Ruan Xi believed in cause and effect. Even after being reborn into the technologically advanced interstellar age, Ruan Xi still believed in cause and effect.
He felt that his rebirth into this world was definitely not meaningless. Perhaps he was not the savior, but there must be someone around him who could become the savior of this world.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xi subconsciously looked at He Ziqian, with stars twinkling in his eyes. He Ziqian, who had been staring at him, raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes seemed to be asking - why are you looking at me like this? This makes me feel that you admire me so much!
At this moment, Ruan Xi seemed to have mastered the art of mind reading without any instruction. He understood He Ziqian's thoughts in an instant and couldn't help laughing softly.
However, in such a silent room, even the quietest laughter seemed too abrupt. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Ruan Xi.
"What are you laughing at, little doctor? Have you made some new discoveries? Don't be secretive, just tell us now. We are so worried..." An anxious researcher, who was sitting on Ruan Xi's left, forgot himself for a moment and grabbed his shoulders and started shaking them. He looked like he was going to go crazy at any moment.
Ruan Xi was caught off guard, unsure how to react. However, with He Ziqian around, he didn't have to worry about such a problem at all. He reached out and palmed him down. How could a weakling researcher possibly be a match for the king of special forces? In seconds, his arms went numb as he was pushed back, and he was unable to recover for a long time.
However, at this time, no one was in the mood to care about the researcher's feelings. They all stared at Ruan Xi closely, waiting for his next words.
For no reason, everyone was certain that something must happen to Ruan Xi.
Receiving everyone's trusting and expectant eyes, Ruan Xi naturally would not let them down.
"Humanity's evolution is a response to alien invasions. Therefore, humanity's current solution is evolution."
"But, at the beginning of evolution, there's also the issue of probability, right? It's impossible for everyone to evolve all of a sudden? Otherwise, why did we humans suffer from alien invasions for nearly a hundred years, and only recently discovered signs of evolution?"
"Human evolution must have occurred from the very beginning. However, perhaps because it's so slow, or perhaps because it's not so obvious, and our attention is almost entirely focused on alien species, it's not easy to detect. Under purely natural conditions, the evolution of a species can be incredibly slow. There might even be no noticeable changes for thousands of years."
Doesn’t the history of human evolution illustrate this point?
No one objected to this, but everyone couldn't help but become more anxious.
"Then how do we distinguish who is evolving and who is not, who has a high level of evolution and who has a low level of evolution? This is a brand new field and we need to start from scratch..." A brand new field, if it does not involve alien races, if they are in a peaceful era, this will definitely be good news that makes all scientific researchers excited.
But now, it only makes them more anxious and nervous.
Because no one knows when the alien race will appear again, and how powerful they will be when they appear again.
Often, the unknown is the most terrifying.
"Who said we have to start from scratch?" Ruan Xi smiled slyly and raised the electronic screen in his hand. "Isn't the original data right here? Although we can't crack the deep-level code for the time being, there are still many peripheral materials that are worthy of our in-depth research."
When the researchers heard this, they fell silent again. Finally, He Ziqian spoke first.
"You mean, we can learn from the evolutionary process of other races?" This was a bold guess, but it coincided with Ruan Xi's idea, and immediately earned him an appreciative smile from his boyfriend.
The atmosphere was no longer tense.
He Ziqian's tense body gradually relaxed unconsciously, and he put his arm around Ruan Xi's shoulders. "Am I right?"
"Well, you are worthy of being the one I like." How smart!
The others were suddenly brought to their senses by their display of affection, and immediately began a heated discussion. The central point of the discussion was how to use the research on alien races to reverse-infer the process of human evolution, and then expand it to the identification and even promotion of human evolution.
This is definitely a long and arduous task. Everyone is full of hope, but they have to worry that during this period, the alien race may strike back at any time.
"Everyone, I have a hypothesis. Perhaps this code that we can't crack for the time being is also the bottleneck of the alien race. They can't get over this bottleneck here, so they turned to other places to find a solution. So, can it be understood that until the alien race solves this bottleneck problem, we humans are temporarily safe?"
"Yes, that's it!"
"That makes sense, but we have to face reality. We can't grasp the pulse of the alien race and can't predict when they will return. So, we can only try our best to do what we can first."
This is the reality that no one can refute, but has to face.
"Then we'll use the army's standard elite identification system to identify the most outstanding individuals, simulate the alien's cell growth process, artificially create stimulation, and try to stimulate their potential... But in reality, every base has been doing this all along, and there's no..."
"Yes! Those with attributes beyond the normal range may be Evolved Humans. For example, I, like General He Jun, and we all excel in certain areas. This excels in combat, and it's even more evident in our fighting prowess. I used to think it was due to fighting spirit, but now it seems it's not purely spiritual stimulation, but rather our bodies are evolving."
He Ziqian's words were not carefully organized, but they were clear to everyone who heard them. For a moment, everyone had a general direction to work towards.
Ruan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and silently gave her boyfriend a thumbs up. As expected, courage and momentum are things that are innate and acquired through training. Without either one, it would be impossible.
"Then there's no need to hesitate. Act immediately. And we can't just act from one base; all bases must unite. The first thing we need to do is integrate the research data on the alien races. The more useful information we have, the more stable our start will be. I'll report to General He immediately. Everyone else, do what you can. We don't have time to waste."
They really have no time to waste, and they dare not waste time. The alien races that may invade again at any time are like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Until it falls, they will never be able to sleep peacefully.
"Yes, Director!" As soon as the old director finished speaking, everyone took action instantly. In the blink of an eye, only Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were left in the conference room.
"The efficiency of the operation is still quite high, so shall we go back?" After all, he is now General He Jun's attending physician and has treatment tasks to perform!
Mr. He must be very busy now. Does this mean that no one can effectively look after the patient He Jun?
Ruan Xi's eyes narrowed slightly dangerously, "I think Uncle He must be trying to cause trouble right now."
If He Jun's body has already begun to evolve, it must be in an unstable evolutionary period. Then, once any abnormality occurs in the body, it may affect his evolutionary process. In the most serious case, it may endanger his life.
The two masters of the He family are the backbone of the Sirius system. If something happens to them, the Sirius system may be in chaos. To put it in a conspiracy theory, this may be a bomb buried by aliens long ago, and it may explode at any time.
Ruan Xi was startled by her own conspiracy theory and subconsciously looked at He Ziqian. She actually saw the same worry in He Ziqian's eyes and subconsciously asked, "Are we thinking the same thing?"
“I think we have a good understanding.”
So, there is no need to check the answer anymore, it is probably 80/90% correct.
"Hurry up, go back and look after Uncle He, nothing must happen to him." If this time bomb explodes, it will definitely be extremely powerful!
"good."
Someone picked them up when they came, but no one saw them off when they left. They had no choice but to rely on themselves and borrowed a car to drive back. Fortunately, He Ziqian's face was still recognizable in this base.
On the way, He Ziqian connected to the communication at the Imperial Capital Star Base and reported the situation there. Then, the scene changed, and a gentle and handsome figure appeared on the screen, waving and greeting He Ziqian with a smile.
"Ziqian, long time no see."
He Ziqian immediately sat up straight and saluted, "Your Highness."
Ruan Xi: “…”
Your Highness, which Your Highness? Could it be the Your Highness he was thinking of?
