I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 76 The Guardian
"What's the origin of that Haipu?" Xia Lian asked.

Mercury walked on the streets of this no-man's land, "According to the information obtained from this database, his research project is to upload human consciousness to the computer and upgrade the human life form.

It is a first-level project in this research base, with great authority. "

"It's the exact opposite way to Helios." Xia Lian whispered, "It seems that there are many people at the top of the new federation who want to live forever."

Today's technology has been very developed, and if there is a problem with the body's organs, you can use cloning technology to clone the organs or mechanical ascension to replace all the organs with machines.

Or, like the Empire, injecting micro-nano technology for real-time organ repair and enhancement of organ function, allowing people to keep their bodies in the same state as they were injected before they die.

But even so, people cannot truly achieve immortality. The brain cannot be easily replaced, and even if the lifespan of the brain is the longest among all organs, the limit is only 200 years.

Two hundred years old is the limit for most people.

According to the secret history that Xia Lian knew from his father, human beings had immortality at some point in the past.

On a certain planet, they discovered a special aquatic organism whose cell tissue can regenerate almost infinitely.

People have extracted this infinitely regenerated gene through biotechnology and successfully produced immortal medicine.

Moreover, the number of such creatures is very large, so this immortality potion is very cheap, and almost everyone can enjoy it.

But the problem is that the productivity at that time did not reach the level that could allow immortality. Later, as the number of immortals became larger and larger, many social problems followed.

The older people are, the harder it is to accept new things, and the technology of civilization has fallen into a huge stagnation.

And the most deadly issue is the birth rate and employment rate.

Technology has stagnated, and the number of jobs has naturally stagnated, and the original jobs will be difficult to replace because people gain immortality, and there will be almost no employment opportunities for those born later.

Also because human beings have gained immortality, people no longer need children for old age, coupled with many problems such as the future employment difficulties of newborns, the fertility rate has dropped to almost zero.

But a person can't work at a job forever, and after gaining immortality, people have more time to accumulate wealth.

When their wealth is accumulated, they will naturally not go to work. In addition, the fertility rate has been zero for a long time, and it is difficult for people to find new people to take over these jobs. For a society whose production capacity has not yet been fully intelligent, this is a Doomsday.

At the same time, some people have become confused and fearful about their long life, and the suicide rate is also skyrocketing.

A vicious circle appeared in the society at that time, which almost endangered the continuation of the entire human society.

People have tried many methods, such as euthanasia at the age of [-], and government control of births and jobs.

But in the end, this repression led to a civil war, culminating in the burning glass of the planet that produced the elixir of immortality.

People lose immortality.

But in fact, according to his father, the immortality potion is not really immortal. Those who injected the immortality potion at first also died of organ cancer after living for more than 1000 years.

So since then, humans have been cautious about immortality.

"It's no wonder that there are no homeless people here. They are used as consumables." Xia Lian continued.

"Only the brain," said Mercury. "The corpse was made into minced meat and fed to the rest of the homeless. It has a reputation for recycling, so he has a good reputation among the homeless."

Xia Lian in the voice was silent for a long time, and after a while, she heard Xia Lian take a deep breath.

"Mercury, sometimes, you really have to feel the bottom line of human nature."

Mercury seemed to sense the lowness in Xia Lian's words, she opened her mouth to say something, but the next moment.

"boom!"

A light cannon slammed into her body from a distance, knocking her several meters away. Mercury turned a somersault in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

Her right back was melted by the high temperature, making a sizzling sound, but soon, micro-nano particles filled the wound.

Mercury's wide-area radar was at its maximum at this moment. In her radar map, dozens of red dots loomed, surrounding her.

In the darkness of the alleyway in the distance, Haipu walked out slowly.

"Looks like, I guessed right, the ability to break through our firewall so easily can only be the Empire's technology.

Your neural integration technology has capabilities similar to artificial intelligence, and I have been greedy for a long time."

His voice seemed to be mixed with gravel, making it uncomfortable to hear.

In the surrounding darkness, dozens of men and women who looked the same, wore black tights and sunglasses slowly approached.

"Let me introduce them. Their names are Guardians, and they are our human-transforming technology." Haipu said calmly with his hands behind his back.

As if the mercury was already the turtle in their urn.

"However, they don't have brains. The last weakness of human beings has been completely overcome by me!" Hepu shouted frantically.

And as his words fell, the guardians around also acted at this moment, and they raised their weapons and prepared to attack Quicksilver together.

But Haipu shouted anxiously on the side, "Don't use that, don't destroy my sample!"

Hearing this, the rest of the guardians withdrew their firearms and charged directly towards the mercury.

Mercury pulled out the gravitational rod without hesitation, and the light rod turned into a halo floating above her head, like an angel halo.

At the same time, she simultaneously turned on the overclocking mode, and the short white hair particles flowed. The overclocking mode not only increased her basic stats, but her main function was to overclock her brain, which doubled the processing speed of her brain.

In her eyes, all the movements around him slowed down at this moment, like bullet time.

With the help of the gravity control device on the top of her head to reduce her own gravity, she jumped high from the ground. At the same time, she raised her hand, and her arm began to deform, turning into a giant gun, the muzzle condensed with brilliance, the next moment.

"boom!"

A huge flame like a pop fell from top to bottom to the ground, and the earth shook.

When the flames dissipated, a huge crater was blasted out of the ground, but the guardians were guarded by the light shield and remained motionless.

That's a technique similar to the Helios field.

At the moment, there is no Helios field in mercury.

The next moment, the guardians appeared around Mercury, and at the same time, a repulsive force spread from Mercury to the surroundings, bouncing them away.

Mercury wanted to take the opportunity to evacuate, but the guardians were chasing extremely tightly, and the light cannon shot out of their mouths, bombarding the gravity shield opened by Mercury.

These light cannons were deflected away by the gravity shield, but after the bombardment of these light cannons ended, a bolt of lightning shattered the air, bombarded the gravity shield, penetrated the gravity shield, and hit the mercury firmly.

This is also the reason why the deflector shield was eventually eliminated. It has a conductive medium, so it will be penetrated by the electric spear.

The high-voltage lightning destroyed the mercury's body, her eyes went black, and she fell to the ground, but was caught by Mithril who came.

Seeing the second remodeler appearing in the field, the man named Haipu was even more excited.

"Second material."

Mercury quickly regained consciousness. She separated a USB flash drive with a micro nanometer, handed it to Mithril, and said in a low voice.

"Leave with His Highness."

Mithril took over the USB flash drive. Transforming people is not someone who is emotional, and her brain quickly parsed the current situation.

Together, the two of them can indeed fight against these guardians for a period of time. The human transformation technology of the Principality of Helios is superior to that of the new federation.

But as time goes on, there will be more and more enemy support, and there is no point in continuing to fight.

After confirming this, Mithril glanced at Mercury and turned away without any hesitation.

"Don't let her run away!" Hepu said excitedly.

The dozens of guardians immediately flew up and chased after them, ready to block Mithril, but the next moment.

"boom!"

The terrifying gravitational field directly pressed them to the ground, and the concrete floor cracked.

The mercury's hair fluttered, and the particle flow became more and more vigorous. The gravitational field spread hundreds of meters in a radius, and everyone could not move.

"Mercury." Xia Lian's voice sounded in Mercury's mind.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Quicksilver said calmly, "I may not be able to accompany you on the next journey. I should have obeyed your words just now, and shouldn't make any extras.

Now, it's time to pay for my stupidity. "
