Chapter 102 The Tower of Babel in Babylon
Li Fei knew that Emily was thinking wrongly, but she was just happy. Anyway, the evolutionary potion would not run away, but she would feel uncomfortable when her emotions came.
So he picked up Emily and headed straight for the bed.
...
After everything was done, Li Fei hugged the lazy Emily and entered the cabin of the invisible unmanned transport plane.
"So tired! I want to rest." Emily still didn't want to move.
"Be good, I won't be tired in a while." Li Fei gently put down Emily, then took out a metal box.
"What is this?" Although the silver-white metal box is not very big, it looks mysterious and heavy.
Of course, Li Fei knew how to use the things produced by the system. There was a button on the side of the metal box, and he pressed it down.
With a slight and undetectable movement, the metal box opened itself.
This is a refrigerated box, which is used to preserve the five evolutionary potions.
Sure enough, after opening it, the metal box was blazing cold air, and five gun-shaped syringes were quietly lying inside.
The gun-type syringe is a dark blue liquid inside the barrel. Li Fei knew that it was an evolutionary potion.
"What's this?"
At this time, Emily was energetic and quickly got up and asked.
Li Fei picked up a gun-type syringe and looked carefully at the pool of mysterious blue liquid inside the gun-type syringe.
"Have you seen the blockbuster Avengers in North Hollywood?"
Li Fei murmured: "There is a North American captain in there. How did he become a super warrior?"
This sentence immediately shocked Emily. She suddenly got up and stared at the gun-shaped syringe in Li Fei's hand with her eyes burning.
"You mean, this thing can turn a person into a super warrior like a captain in North America?"
Li Fei nodded: "Maybe the effect is better than in the movie!"
Li Fei looked at the introduction of this potion in the system, and then told Emily.
"Human gene chains are incomplete, and a long time ago, it may have been during human evolution.
In this evolutionary process, being deliberately induced by artificial or something has led to the lack of certain links in our human gene chain."
Li Fei paused for a moment, and he wanted to find something to use as an analogy:
"Have you heard of frogs under the glass bottle cap?"
Emily doesn't understand what Li Fei is talking about?
Li Fei said solemnly: "Scientists have done experiments."
They caught some frogs and some frogs with particularly strong jumping ability.
Then put them in a low water tank, and these frogs can easily pop out of the water tank.
When the frogs popped out, the scientists grabbed them and put them back in the water tank and covered them with a piece of transparent glass."
Emily understood a little, “So?”
"So because it is covered with a layer of transparent glass, every time a frog jumps up and wants to jump out, it will hit the transparent glass.
They couldn't see a piece of glass there, but after hitting their heads more often, they realized that there was an invisible layer of things that were preventing them from jumping out.
Stop them from jumping out of that cell and that water tank.
After many failures, they accepted their fate, so they lived happily in the water tank. After a long time, even after scientists took away the transparent piece of glass, they would not pop up again.
Not only do they not pop up, but even the offspring they reproduced also learned from their genetic information that there was an invisible layer blocking it.
Therefore, their descendants will also convey a genetic message to their descendants, and there is a transparent thing at the entrance of the water tank, blocking them from jumping out and unable to get out.
Generation after generation, slowly, the frog's jumping ability will disappear until even if you know, there is no transparent thing in the sky blocking it, and you will not be able to jump out."
This time, Emily understood.
"You mean, humans could have evolved into captains like North America, but later humans or creatures maliciously restricted the direction of human evolution.
So, we human evolution will go downhill. Is that what does that mean?"
Li Fei nodded.
"There must be a cause for the groundlessness."
"This is our old Chinese saying, you may not understand it very much.
It means that since there is such a legend and speculation, it must be a foreshadowing, and it did not appear for no reason.
There are many legends in our China, and you may not feel any sense of immersion when you say it.
Why not tell me a legend in the Bible.
For example, the Tower of Heaven in the ancient city of Babylon.
This is recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible.
After the flood that year, Noah's descendants re-produced into a large ethnic group.
Then they unite, and they have a high level of wisdom.
They like to think, they like the truth.
In the Bible, the Lord made a vow with people after the Great Flood, and will not descend the Great Flood again to flood the earth.
But Noah's descendants felt that it was a terrible thing to place the hope of the survival of the ethnic group in the hands of others.
So they built a tower to heaven, a tower that leads to heaven, and a tower that allows humans to challenge the wisdom of gods.
Then this tower of heaven alarmed the Lord in the Bible.
He felt that humans had offended his majesty, so he went down to the world and divided the crowds around the world.
Give them different languages, different customs, and different living habits, so that they can fight each other, no longer unite or study knowledge together, no longer enhance their wisdom, and no longer challenge the status of gods."
That's the frog under the glass cover.
"So, legend has it that such a great emperor appeared in ancient China.
He discovered that humans divided into ethnic groups to attack each other, and then their words and weights and measures are not common.
Language, characters and weights and measures are different, and of course culture is also different, so it was difficult for each other's wisdom to have similarities at that time.
It is precisely because of different cultures, customs and languages that they attack each other.
So that great emperor directly unified all the countries in the Central Plains at that time, and spent his whole life looking for the secret of immortality.
Challenge the majesty of the gods.
Although he failed in the end, his behavior proves that when humans in a region use the same words and speak the same language, follow the same country, and use the same weights and measures, the human power and wisdom in this region are incomparable to other ethnic groups."
Emily nodded to show her understanding, then pointed to the gun-shaped syringe in Li Fei's hand and asked:
"You mean, the things in this syringe can allow humans to break through the glass cover that the gods have covered us, right?"
Li Fei nodded with relief.
"Yes, that's it!"
Emily is not an ordinary woman, she is more comprehensive in her consideration of the problem.
"I didn't know what book I saw in the past. What benefits do you have to get and what price you have to pay.
Is this kind of drug so good? Is there a great risk?
Just like Captain North America, I remember the movie said that there were many soldiers who conducted experiments with him, and he survived."
"So why not try it first. There is no risk, and you can get the injection."
After saying that, Emily picked up a gun-shaped syringe in the metal box at lightning speed and stabbed it on her arm.
Chapter completed!
