Chapter 2034 The temptation of "longevity"
In the Dragon Palace on the Sea, Gu Xiaobai saw Yan Xuexin leaning against the wall in the corridor outside his laboratory.

"Yan, what are you doing here? Where have you been these two days?" Since Yan Xuexin agreed to help Gu Xiaobai, he devoted most of his energy to the research of helping Gu Xiaobai.

Although Yan Xuexin himself did not have many achievements in scientific research, this is because Yan Xuexin has dabbled in too many areas, liked too many things, and was too distracted.

What Gu Xiaobai is researching is currently a blank in science. His previous achievements and experience are actually useless. Yan Xuexin's super high IQ and super learning ability come in handy here. He can quickly start, Quickly took over Gu Xiaobai's research, helped Gu Xiaobai with auxiliary work, and also possessed strong hands-on ability. It can be said that he has become Gu Xiaobai's most powerful assistant.

For a genius like Yan Xuexin to restrain his sharpness steadily and follow his own path, I am afraid that only Gu Xiaobai can do it in this world.

But two days ago, Yan Xuexin suddenly said that he had something to do, and disappeared for two days, which made Gu Xiaobai, who was used to working with Yan Xuexin, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'm going to verify one thing..." Yan Xuexin raised his head, his movements were a little slow, with a look of stagnation that shouldn't be at this age, looking at Gu Xiaobai with slightly gray eyes, as if standing in front of Gu Xiaobai, Not a young man, but an old man, he said slowly: "Xiaobai, I want to tell you something..."

Gu Xiaobai was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yan Xuexin: "You went too? How long... have you been there?"

He could tell at a glance that Yan Xuexin had time-traveled!

Moreover, I am afraid that staying there for a long time after time travel has seriously affected Yan Xuexin's personality and ego.

Although the time travel of the system is similar to the "soul travel" of a dream, the "relative time" of each person is different.

If only relying on his own intelligence, or the "hardware conditions" of the brain, Yan Xuexin is probably second to none in the world. He can beat Gu Xiaobai, an "acquired genius", to nothing. Time, maybe it can go through a century.

"How long have you been there?" Yan Xuexin's thinking was even a little sluggish, and he frowned in confusion.

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I... I don't know."

Time travel is like a dream. After waking up, the sense of time will be suppressed by the human brain. This is the protection mechanism of the brain. Otherwise, human beings will be torn apart by the sense of alienation.

"Don't be too greedy and recall the time travel, let your brain empty..."

Gu Xiaobai said that his time-traveling experience is extremely rich, as long as he does not cling to the memories after time-traveling, his brain will gradually restore this sense of separation.

Yan Xuexin closed his eyes. After a long time, his eyes regained clarity. He took a deep breath and said to Gu Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, I know where the little moth is! I also know how you freeze the little moth." !"

"How come? Did you see it?" Gu Xiaobai stared wide-eyed.

A few minutes later, in Gu Xiaobai's laboratory, on a huge whiteboard, Yan Xuexin drew a huge flow chart.

"In general, this is how this system works. First, there are two isolated links, cryopreservation and rapid freezing..."

"The core area of ​​this system is an iceberg. We can also call this area 'core cold storage'. The small moths are frozen in it for a long time. This iceberg floats on the sea all year round, away from the disturbance and dust on the ground. At the same time, according to different ages, we trace the crustal movement in different places, and borrow the energy released by the crustal movement nearby."

The temperature loss of a huge object is very slow, and such a huge iceberg also melts very slowly. The core of the iceberg can be maintained at a low temperature for a long time, and with some technical means, it can be maintained at an extremely low temperature relatively easily.

"Of course, the ancient times did not have the technical conditions to drag icebergs to sail. Icebergs can only follow the ocean currents and make limited direction corrections. Therefore, there is also an executor on the ground. They build huge machines and borrow the energy of the crustal movement. Create an instant extremely low temperature. There is another link in the middle, which is to keep the small moth in this state and transport it from the land to the iceberg... During the period when the small moth is frozen, the iceberg can return to the extremely cold regions of the North and South Poles 'Replenishing the cold'..."

Gu Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

"This... is too big a battle."

In Gu Xiaobai's imagination, the little moth is in a "secret tomb", and then wakes up every once in a while, appearing in the rivers and lakes.

It feels a bit like "Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain".

He never thought that this whole system is actually so complicated, so huge, so...unbelievable.

How could this thing work?

"To have so many people complete such a huge project...how is this possible?"

Although most of the people around Gu Xiaobai are loyal and enthusiastic, and there are even some descendants who are still loyal to Gu Xiaobai after hundreds or even hundreds of years, but Gu Xiaobai understands the fickleness of people's hearts too well. The impermanence of the world.

But when the old man dies, everything will become different. It is difficult to pass on the inheritance of one or two generations, but the inheritance of hundreds of years can be said to be met but not sought after.

Not to mention, in the change of generations, even the dynasty is only a few hundred years old, and its rise and fall is within a hundred years. It is extremely difficult for a system to operate steadily for 2700 years.

Even though Little Moth has a song called "Love Duet", which can inspire others to "love", its effect is almost open, but this is not a panacea. Every time Little Moth sleeps, it is enough for hundreds of years.

"The design of this system is very subtle. Even though I have been lurking for so long, I haven't been able to fully see through it..." Yan Xuexin shook his head, "However, there are two most important points, one is...you."

"Me?" Gu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Although he can't travel back to every era and every moment, his meeting with Little Moth proves that they are in the same era and he can participate in it.

It's just that he doesn't know it now.

"And the other one is... the temptation of longevity."

longevity.

Gu Xiaobai suddenly understood.

Since ancient times, countless emperors have been pursuing the illusory longevity.

And freezing this method, although it can't be regarded as a real longevity, but countless terminal illnesses in ancient times are nothing but a minor illness in modern times.

Since ancient times, China has well-documented records, and the average life expectancy of emperors with age records is only about 40 years old, and those who cannot be checked are probably less than 40 years old.

Qin Shihuang was only 49 years old when he died. If this age is in modern times, he would be the age when a child has just finished college. Even grandpas may not be able to become a grandpa. Some people think they take up space when dancing in the square.

Qianlong's long life, now, is the old man in the community basking in the sun.

If someone tells you that it can double your life expectancy, and even make you live 2700 years old...

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaobai couldn't laugh or cry, and even felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

I really don't know what role I played in history...
