I am immortal with scientific thinking

"Evolution Warrior?"

Lin Chen's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at Fang Zhengyang standing beside him:
"Who is the other party...?"

Fang Zhengyang instantly understood what Lin Chen meant and whispered closer:
"Junior brother, you should know that the upcoming S-level disaster, the evolutionary disaster, is now troubling the entire scientific community and human civilization, right?"

"Of course I know this. This is a horrible disaster that evolved from the Cambrian explosion of species during the ancient times..." Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Why? Could it be that the person in front of me is affected by this supernatural disaster?"

"Yes and no." Fang Zhengyang lowered his voice and said, "The most critical factor in this evolutionary disaster is the existence of what we call the evolutionary virus. This virus can cause all species in the world to undergo incomprehensible mutations and evolutions like those in the ancient Cambrian period. However, among the billions of species on the Blue Planet, only humans are the slowest in this evolution and are at the bottom."

"In order to deal with this disaster, the entire scientific research community has invested all its efforts, and this evolved warrior is one of the research results."

"Through human interference, evolved viruses can be expressed in humans, thus promoting human mutation and evolution."

"Then what is the most outstanding feature of this evolved warrior?" Lin Chen asked the most core and crucial point.

The most prominent characteristics of evolving organisms often reveal the direction in which they are evolving.

Fang Zhengyang was silent for a moment after hearing this question, then he said in a deep voice:
"Superpowers have appeared."

"you sure?!"

Hearing this answer, Lin Chen's face became extremely solemn.

As we all know, the most fundamental purpose of biological evolution is not for anything else but to adapt to the environment.

Judging from the current environment on Blue Planet, no matter how much biological evolution adapts to the environment, it will not pose much of a threat to humans in essence.

Because the power created by science and technology is the crystallization of human wisdom and the application of the greater power of the universe. Given the existing environment on the blue planet, no matter how any species evolves based on adapting to the environment, it cannot threaten human survival.

For example, no matter how much an ant evolves, as long as it evolves based on adapting to the environment, it will never be able to withstand the power of a nuclear explosion, because the blue planet does not have the same high temperature and high pressure as a nuclear explosion, and the environment that remains constant for hundreds or thousands of years (referring to the surface of the planet).

But if the direction of biological evolution is superpowers, that would be different.

Whether it is high temperature control, electromagnetic force field, gravity interference, or space-time distortion, these extremely terrifying methods can completely destroy the existing human civilization!

"This is impossible. The purpose of biological evolution is to adapt to the environment. This was also the case during the Cambrian explosion. How could they evolve in violation of this rule?!" Lin Chen frowned.

"That's why we say this disaster is a supernatural disaster, because it violates common sense." Fang Zhengyang sighed, "But fortunately, even though this evolution violates common sense, the physical rules of our universe have not completely collapsed, and the law of conservation of energy is still strong. The existing energy on Blue Star is completely unable to support the evolution of species around the world in this direction of superpowers, so this disaster will only happen in the future, and we still have plenty of time to prepare."

"What about super powers?" Lin Chen asked, "This evolution itself violates the laws of nature. Perhaps the key lies in these super powers."

"No one knows exactly what's going on." Fang Zhengyang said, "Some people suspect that this supernatural ability has existed since the invasion of idealism, and it is a loophole caused by the change in the rules of the universe. Some people suspect that this is the evolution of species brought about by the evolutionary disaster, and it is a manifestation of the evolution of carbon-based flesh and blood creatures to the next stage..."

After just two or three sentences of Fang Zhengyang's introduction, Lin Chen had roughly understood the origin of the so-called super powers of these evolved warriors. No, to be precise, it was the scientific community's speculation about these super powers.

One side believes that the superpowers that have emerged today, whether in humans or other living species, are essentially the same as supernatural phenomena, and are logical loopholes that arise in the process of changes in the physical rules of the universe.

According to their speculation, the physical laws of the universe are undergoing changes that humans cannot understand. Someone or an object has inadvertently triggered a loophole in the rules of the universe in some way, thus developing their own superpowers.

Therefore, this superpower itself is a loophole in the rules and a mistake in the world.

The other side believes that this so-called superpower is a sign that today's carbon-based life has evolved to the next stage.

For example, some people think that abilities such as releasing lightning, having immense strength, and being able to disappear into nature are things that only exist in myths and legends.

But if we put these abilities into science, these mysterious abilities are essentially biological means of affecting electromagnetism, super-strong negative gravity, camouflage and deformation. Corresponding to the species on the blue planet, they are electric eels that can generate up to 600V, octopuses with excellent camouflage and deformation abilities, ants that can carry objects weighing dozens of times their own weight, and so on.

From the above, we can see that even carbon-based creatures composed mainly of flesh and blood can possess abilities that are almost supernatural.

What if this method can be further evolved?

If we can do this before evolution, what about after evolution?
Could it be possible to control high temperatures, influence electromagnetism, interfere with gravity, etc., and possess powers comparable to those in myths and legends such as burning mountains and boiling seas and controlling the five thunders?

So from another perspective, this so-called supernatural ability is not a loophole in the universe, but a sign that life is constantly evolving.

"...these two schools of thought each hold their own opinions and neither can convince the other. Whether it is a physical loophole or a sign of biological evolution, they cannot fundamentally violate the most basic law of conservation of energy in the universe. Therefore, the strength of these evolved warriors has reached an inhuman level in terms of physique, but has not yet reached the standard of transcendence in myths and legends." Fang Zhengyang said in a low voice.

"That means it can only play a supporting role. The most important thing is still technology?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes, and no matter how much these people evolve, in the end, they have to return to theory and science to understand how to truly display their power. So these super powers are essentially a part of our scientific system that is constantly evolving." Fang Zhengyang said.

"Then logically speaking, these people with super powers should be very valuable. After all, they can open up new research areas. Why do they come to carry out missions?" Lin Chen asked another question. Fang Zhengyang was silent for a moment after hearing this. His voice was lowered at this moment, and he said vaguely:
"For us, what's really important about people with super powers is the source of their super powers, not themselves."

Although the other party did not speak clearly, Lin Chen understood his meaning instantly.

For humans, people with super powers are far less important than the super powers themselves.

To put it in an analogy, these people with super powers are actually equivalent to the independent cultivators who have obtained wild inheritance in the world of immortal cultivation. They have no system and no way forward. They cannot go far by relying solely on mutation, and it is impossible for them to become the main force of human civilization to fight against disasters.

Only when scientific researchers understand the source of superpowers and determine the direction of evolution, just like monks comprehend the spiritual path to become immortals, can humans truly evolve into the legendary supermen or even immortal gods.

Even something as mysterious as cultivating immortals requires skills to reach the highest level. How could human evolution be without theory and direction?

As for those creatures in the wild, the reason why they evolve so rapidly and are able to evolve into such complex and advanced creatures, and even show behaviors that go against the common sense of species evolution, is because they are affected by the S-level disaster of evolution.

However, human evolution did not occur in this evolutionary disaster, so if these people with super powers want to evolve, they must either rely on themselves or find scientific researchers who can study the basis of their super powers and point out the direction of evolution. Otherwise, they are essentially just alternative super soldiers.

As long as the essence cannot be thoroughly studied, superpowers can only serve as an auxiliary at best, but cannot play a decisive role.

As long as the essence is studied thoroughly, it means that it can be mass-produced, and individual ordinary super-powered people will lose their important role.

'In fact, this is just like cultivation. If you cultivate the art without the method, or cultivate the method without the Tao, you will eventually forget about immortality and have no hope for the Tao...'

Lin Chen understood this principle immediately.

However, having said that, these people with super powers have physical fitness and abilities that are different from ordinary people. They are also elite warriors who have been trained to fight in many battles. Now, with the black technology that can turn people into supermen, when it comes to individual combat capabilities, they are definitely top-notch among humans.

With this thought in mind, Lin Chen looked at the six people in front of him.

The six people in front of me were all naked big men, about 1.9 meters tall, with broad backs and strong waists. Their muscles were very obvious, their waists were particularly flexible, and there were no scars or bullet marks on their bodies...

'The height and body shape are evolving towards a large species, which will give it an advantage in fighting; the muscles on the body are very developed, and the waist is very flexible, which means that it is very flexible and agile, and can burst out extremely powerful strength at any time; more importantly, there are no obvious scars on the skin, which means that the body's self-healing ability exceeds that of ordinary humans... Is the direction of evolution no longer to adapt to the environment, but to pursue perfection? '

Lin Chen took a look and analyzed a lot of things.

'Can this evolution virus make living things evolve towards a more perfect direction? This is not likely to happen naturally. After all, in an environment where the fittest survive, all life evolves to adapt to the environment, not the other way around. You know, the energy required to evolve towards a more perfect direction completely exceeds the supply of the environment, and the final result will only lead to the complete extinction of the organism.'

"So this virus can only be man-made. But why does this thing always give me a very familiar feeling? It's like I've seen it somewhere..."

"Come on! This is the team I'm introducing to you. It's called the Guardians and they're there to help you with this operation!"

After the two sides looked at each other and talked in low voices for a while, Captain Zuo finally spoke up and introduced:
"These are the special elites selected from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our military region. They have also been selected through evolutionary experiments and are top-notch." Captain Zuo looked at the six people and introduced them one by one.

"This is the captain, a superhuman-type evolved warrior, equipped with a laser rifle, smart helmet, quantum communicator, tactical AI assistant, etc. He is responsible for the command and decision-making of the entire team."

"Sniper, a superhuman-type evolved warrior, equipped with high-precision laser sniper rifles, optical camouflage, micro drones, etc., responsible for fixed-point sniping of targets and covering retreat."

"A demolition expert, an evolved energy warrior, equipped with plasma grenade launchers, portable high-energy bombs, nano-repair tools, etc., responsible for large-scale combat.

"Medics are specially evolved warriors, equipped with nano medical needles, bio-scanners, portable shield generators, etc., responsible for the medical care and life-saving of the entire team.

"Commando, a special type of evolved warrior, equipped with a plasma pistol, sonic jammer, underwater breathing apparatus, etc., responsible for dealing with special monsters and siege battles."

"Communications soldier, a special evolution warrior, equipped with satellite communicators, quantum radars, etc., responsible for battlefield communications and contacting the headquarters."

After introducing everything in one breath, Captain Zuo looked at Lin Chen again and said solemnly:
"In addition, we will also let the entire Yuncang City police system and a regiment stationed there cooperate with your operation to ensure that everything goes well!"

"That's good. Tell them to put on their equipment and get ready to go." Lin Chen said without any hesitation.

"The command of the team is now handed over to you. The troops are very tight recently, and we have already spared this team." At this point, Captain Zuo looked at Lin Chen and said word by word, "Although I don't know why the people above ordered to keep you, I know that no matter whether they are leaders or academicians, they will never protect you for personal reasons, so you must have unimaginable value."

"So, in this operation, whether it succeeds or fails, you must prioritize your own safety, even if it means sacrificing everyone present."

"Huh?!" Lin Chen frowned upon hearing this and glanced at the people around him. They had also heard this, but none of them showed any strange expression on their faces. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Are you sure?"

"If I have a choice, I naturally hope that you can all come back alive, but dealing with these supernatural events is always dangerous, so we can only save the most valuable people. Most of us are mentally prepared for this." Captain Zuo was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Of course, if possible, I still hope that you can bring them all back."

Lin Chen was silent for a moment before he uttered:
"I will...try my best." (End of this chapter)
