Chapter 10, Living in a Good Era

After years of experimentation, we have developed a method of genetic evolution that guarantees one hundred percent success, " Angus said, " which is applicable to all humans on our Blue Planet

"This is a new era," Mr. Xu lamented. "When I was young, we still used computers at home, and my father played computer games. In my youth, we entered the era of mobile phones... In my middle age, it became the era of virtual reality glasses... Nowadays, human lifespan can be doubled; I have lived in a wonderful time."

In the enormous light screen behind, thousands of people appeared, men and women, young and old, some with disabilities, some looking frail, and others robust, some elderly and on the verge of death

When I was young, it was still the era of mobile games. Has it really been sixty or seventy years... and there are virtual worlds now? I am eighty-eight years old, and I can still witness this day? Old Master Xu was astonished

Is this a spacecraft? Is it 5.8 kilometers long?

More than half of them have terminal illnesses, and one-fifth are disabled. Secretary-General Angus stated, "Learning the laws of evolution is not easy; it can leave one physically exhausted. If the movements are incorrect, it can be even more harmful. Therefore, these volunteers learn in virtual helmets, ensuring that they have fully mastered the skills in the virtual world before applying them in reality"

Evolution

What technology is actually present inside this spacecraft

"Yes, my illness can be cured as well." Yang's mother nodded repeatedly, "Our family can be together again, thanks to this era, thanks to this era indeed"

Angus took out a silver-gray helmet from a nearby box

The global collaborative effort to develop Firefly Mars will also benefit all of humanity through the technology obtained from Firefly Mars. Angus smiled and said, for example, the virtual reality glasses technology originates from the virtual helmets on Firefly Mars

It will get better. Yang Qingshuo smiled, feeling that the future life was filled with hope

People around the world have fallen silent

They, eight in total, have only studied the method of genetic evolution for three months, and their average time for the 100-meter dash is generally over five seconds said Secretary-General Angus

This is the genetic evolution method discovered on Firefly Planet. After our experiments, we have confirmed ten evolution methods suitable for the blue planet's humanity

Secretary-General Angus stated, "If technology can reach the point of monitoring human genes and summarizing the genetic changes caused by human exercise... monitoring the genetic changes of millions, even hundreds of millions of humans... the final summarized exercise evolution plan will be astonishing"

"Xiao Shuo, Xiao Shuo, can you hear me? Severed limbs can grow back. In the video, both legs were severed, and they grew back. You only have one hand; it will definitely grow back too." Mother Yang was overwhelmed with tears; as long as her son could no longer be disabled, she would be satisfied even if she were to die.

People around the world are marveling and discussing.

However, those are merely simple exercise methods that we have summarized from our daily habits

Just like a boxer, who through long-term training develops fists that are far stronger than those of an average person. His children, influenced by genetic inheritance, will also naturally possess stronger fists. This is a subtle evolution of genes

Secretary-General Angus hardly provided much explanation, and with another wave of his hand, an even more shocking scene appeared—a massive, brand-new spaceship, broken into two halves, deep within a great canyon

The virtual reality glasses technology has only reached a virtuality level of 30%, but the virtual helmet technology... Angus said, "After an incredibly great cost, we on Blue Star have finally conquered it."

Yet the world is boiling at this moment

In 2036, we will land on Mars.

... ...

The son opened his eyes, groggily glanced at his father, and, still in a daze, closed his eyes again and continued to sleep

The fastest experimenter achieved a time of 5.13 seconds

Mom, your illness can also be cured Yang Qingshuo was also overwhelmed with joy and tears

"Please take a look at the group of experimenters invited six months ago," Secretary-General Angus pointed to the screen.

Yang Qingshuo looked down at his son, who was dozing off. He had fallen asleep while waiting for the live broadcast. Yang Qingshuo, feeling excited, kissed his son.

"Can my mother's illness be cured? Can my hand grow back?" Yang Qingshuo murmured softly

"More than forty years ago, in 2036, humanity first set foot on Firefly Mars," Angus said, "and there were astonishing discoveries made on Firefly Mars, which had previously been kept confidential. Today, we can disclose some of this information to the global public"

This is how technology changes humanity

Secretary-General Angus paused momentarily after finishing his remarks

It has long been recognized that exercise can strengthen the body. Exercise can reduce many diseases. Exercise can promote longevity

"Is Tao Tao asleep?" Mother Yang asked

All entertainment is completely suspended, there are no cartoons either, and Tao Tao is getting sleepy said Yang Qingshuo with a smile

A personal image of men and women appeared on the screen behind.

Secretary-General Angus said with enthusiasm

What is this

As soon as this statement was made, people all over the world were stirred up

One could see individuals with disabilities, some with amputated legs, others with amputated arms, yet in the video, the severed limbs gradually grew back, ultimately restoring each individual completely.

On the screen, someone leaped over the high bar.

Sleep time, entering the virtual world? Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and their family were all shocked

"Son, your leg injury will definitely heal," the mother said excitedly as she embraced Xu Jingming. "People can regrow their severed legs; your minor injury is nothing to worry about."

Secretary-General Angus paused for a moment in silence, flipping through the manuscript in his hand, and then looked up to continue: "Firefly Mars is a treasure for all humanity, which is why we established the Blue Star Alliance in 2056 to jointly develop Firefly Mars"

Can all terminal illnesses be cured

Secretary Angus stood up, and behind him, a massive screen displayed a scene of the planet Firefly—a vast, dilapidated steel city

Xu Jingming looked at his aging parents beside him; his father was already sixty, his mother had some gray hair, and his grandfather was even eighty-eight. Could these most important family members in his life live to be over 160 years old?

Gene evolution sounds incredible, but the principle is very simple

A leap, a height of 3.9 meters

Dad, Mom, we can stay together and live to be over 160 years old. Li Miaomiao happily embraced her parents

"By wearing a virtual helmet, the brain's neurons will connect with the virtual helmet, and the consciousness of the brain will enter the virtual world," Angus said. "First, the level of virtualization can reach nearly 100%, with tactile and olfactory sensations being simulated, allowing the human body to be virtually represented at a rate of 100%."

Without professional weightlifting training, an ordinary young person can easily lift a barbell weighing 1,000 kilograms with both hands

But as soon as the young man exerted himself, he had already lifted it above his head

This sculpture, created 30 million years ago, resembles us humans. " Secretary-General Angus said, "It was also discovered on Phosphorescent Mars.

These messages left the whole family feeling dazed

Xu Jingming nodded: "However, the martial arts competitions in the future will certainly be different from the past; in the future, an ordinary person will be able to lift over a thousand kilograms with both hands."

Can all terminal illnesses be eradicated? Can severed limbs regenerate? In the living room of Tianjin City, Yang Qingshuo, holding his son, stared blankly at all of this on the live broadcast

They are all wearing silver-gray helmets, lying on individual beds

Mother Yang nodded: "Let him rest well, our family will get better from now on."

Accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, eight experimenters sprang out, their figures blurring like cheetahs, swiftly racing towards the finish line.

In just three months, this group of experimenters underwent a transformation

The terminally ill patient, who was once in poor health, gradually regained health and even exhibited a rosy complexion

Beep beep beep, a small screen appears beside.

All the viewers of the live broadcast were astonished

This is the ruins of an underground city on Firefly Mars. The remaining relics suggest that it measures thirty-six kilometers in length and twenty-five kilometers in width, resembling a gigantic underground fortress. Secretary-General Angus said, and then he waved his hand again, changing the scene on the screen to a human sculpture

We have unearthed some ancient technology from Firefly Planet, among which is the method of genetic evolution. Angus said, "After years of experimentation, here, we need to express our gratitude to those volunteers who sacrificed their lives for the experiments. They are the heroes of all humanity"

Xu Jingming's family was equally filled with excitement

That sculpture, a sculpture from thirty million years ago, still retains its overall appearance; the material of this sculpture is remarkable. Moreover, it resembles a human form

Such a vast steel city

Indeed, we are living in a good era. Li Chen'an and his wife exchanged glances at each other.

In 2056, the Blue Star Alliance was formed globally

Their genes have undergone evolution, completely transforming to a new level, said Secretary-General Angus

Can severed limbs grow back

Did many volunteers die for the sake of experimentation

This is a 100-meter sprint test. Previously, the world record for the 100 meters was 9.32 seconds. And these eight experimenters... Secretary-General Angus looked at the screen

Our family is together. Li Chengan and his wife smiled, their eyes glistening with tears

This spacecraft measures 5.8 kilometers in length. The time of its crash and fragmentation is estimated to be one million years ago. Secretary-General Angus stated, "When we discovered it, this fragmented spacecraft was buried by a canyon. After excavating it from the ruins and performing simple maintenance, we found that the spacecraft remains as good as new, showing no signs of decay. The technology contained within this spacecraft is simply astonishing."

Was there once humanity on Mars?

Secondly, because once entering the virtual world, the body is in a complete state of rest while the brain seems to be dreaming. Therefore, people can utilize the time spent 'sleeping' to enter the virtual world. This significantly increases our available time each day. We can study and work during the day, and at night in the virtual world, we can also study, conduct scientific research, and enjoy entertainment. Secretary-General Angus smiled and said, 'Technology changes humanity; in the future, our sleep time can also be fully utilized.' We can study and work during the day, and at night in the virtual world, we can also study, conduct scientific research, and enjoy entertainment. Secretary-General Angus smiled and said, 'Technology changes humanity; in the future, our sleep time can also be fully utilized.'

Nearly 100% virtual

Many elderly individuals with gray hair gradually find their hair turning black again over time, their wrinkles disappearing, and they become youthful

People around the world are listening carefully, is the virtual helmet only in second place? Is human evolution in first place?

Secretary General Angus stated, "Jumping higher, running faster, lifting heavier, the resilience of the body has become formidable, severed limbs can regenerate, and past terminal illnesses for evolved humans are akin to a mere cold, as the body's immunity naturally eradicates them. All known terminal illnesses can be eliminated by the evolved body, and most importantly... lifespan has also changed. Based on our findings, the lifespan of evolved humans will generally range from 160 to 200 years. The lifespan of humans has doubled."

"The virtual helmet is not the greatest achievement of our development of Firefly Mars," Angus said. "In today's press conference, the virtual helmet is only in second place; in first place is... human evolution!"

On the screen, there are young individuals gripping a barbell, the bar being thicker than that of the Olympic competition, yet the heavy weight plates on either side still cause the thick bar to bend

A million years of time, and the materials remain as new? What kind of technology is this

Lifespan of 160 years to 200 years

Ten books appeared on the screen behind, each inscribed with alien characters
