I am immortal with scientific thinking

Sitting in the car driving out of the mountain base, Lin Chen held his chin with his hand, looking at the mountain scenery outside the window with an inexplicable expression.

Logically speaking, as a military base, even if it looks green on the surface, all kinds of road facilities should be complete.

Why do people always say that if you want to get rich, you must build roads first? It is because wide roads ensure the transportation of traffic, the transportation of traffic facilitates the transfer of resources, and the transfer of resources speeds up the overall development.

Therefore, even though the southwestern area of ​​Tianhai City is a mountainous terrain, with the whole country of Donghua contributing its strength, it is enough to build mountain roads of all sizes in all directions to ensure a steady flow of resources and support the operation of the mountain base.

But now, from his perspective, even the road they were driving on had weeds breaking through the asphalt concrete, forming cracks one after another.

Not to mention the mountain paths used for patrols, which are full of weeds and thorns, making them quite difficult to walk on.

The trees on both sides suddenly became dense. Each tree was extremely tall, and there were many large trees as thick as a man's embrace. The branches extending from the trees covered half of the sky along the entire avenue, just like a ray of light overhead in the Three Gorges.

Even the branches on both sides of the road had obvious signs of repair, and at this moment you could see people in military uniforms driving special vehicles to carry out repairs.

It seemed that these extremely dense branches, like the branches of ancient trees, grew overnight.

"Although I know that our country attaches great importance to protecting the environment, but leaving so many ancient trees next to the base will obviously hinder our operations..."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the shadow of the tree above the car window. The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding, but the green bushes above his head were so dense that there was almost no difference.

A huge green network was formed between the trees on the roadside, completely blocking the sun above, making it seem a little dim. Only occasionally a few rays of sunlight leaked from the sky through the gaps in the green umbrella cover, forming mottled spots of light.

If you leave the road and walk into it, you will feel like you have completely left human society and returned to the dense primeval forest that has existed for tens of millions of years.

The chirping of insects and birds could be clearly heard on both sides of the road, and occasionally wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits could be seen. No one knew where they came from, but one could see soldiers constantly cutting through the thorns and clearing a path for walking.

Something is wrong. I always feel like something is wrong...

A strange yet familiar feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart again. Lin Chen narrowed his eyes at this moment, took out his mobile phone from his arms, and dialed a number directly.

Although he is now a university doctor and a member of the Supernatural Research Institute branch, and is considered to be in the upper-middle class in the entire society, as long as he does not step into the top level, he will still be trapped in the information cocoon, unable to know about the drastic changes taking place in the world.

It is clearly winter now, but these plants are growing so abnormally. Something big must have happened, so serious that not a single word of it can leak out.

However, such information was simply not something he could know in his current position. The only way he could get a glimpse of it was to...

beep……

beep……

The reminder sounded continuously in the car, but the phone showed that it was in a call.

Even though the call was hung up and he called again, and was hung up again, the car had already driven out of the entire mountainous area and started heading towards Yuncang City before the call was connected.

As soon as the call was connected, a very noisy voice came from the other end of the line, as if countless people were having a fierce conversation, and one could vaguely hear an argument:
"Each of the world's twenty-five civilized cities is equipped with at least four corps. The active military has entered a full combat readiness state, retired military personnel are being recalled, and a new round of selection for reserve personnel has begun!"

"Not enough, far from enough! The number of species in the wild completely exceeds the current number of human beings, not to mention that they have also undergone evolution that we are not aware of. The current military force is far from enough. I propose that we start recruiting young people over 18 and under 35 in the entire society!"

"You are crazy. This will cause unrest in the entire society. If it shakes the basic cognition of most people and allows idealism to take advantage of the loopholes, causing the physical laws of the world to further collapse, we will be in an even more dangerous situation! This proposal is absolutely not allowed!"

"If we suffer heavy casualties, the physical laws of this world will also be shaken. We can't care about so much now. The key is to deal with the impending disaster!"

"The more serious and urgent the matter is, the calmer we must act. I still say that we must act according to the original plan, mobilize the armies of all parties, use the civilized city as the core point, radiate to dozens of surrounding cities, and form a designated area to resist the outbreak of the disaster!"

"But will it be in time? According to the original estimate, this evolutionary disaster will not break out until at least 30 years later. After all, the existing energy on Blue Planet cannot support their evolution against the laws of nature. But now the sudden mutation has satisfied their energy needs for evolution. None of us knows whether the species in the wild will show exponential growth in evolution in a short period of time. After all, this virus itself does not seem to be born naturally, but rather man-made. We can't judge its potential at all!"

"If we are too late, we can only make up for it with human lives and land! Every civilized city wants to form a self-sufficient system. Heavy industrial parks, high-quality population, top-notch scientific and technological equipment, large-scale weapons deterrence, basic population... none of these can be lacking! Once we lose one of them because of rushing, it will not be a matter of sacrifice, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, or even the risk of extinction of the seeds of our civilization. So no matter what, we must perfect it, no matter how great the sacrifice!"

"Then we can only use the army to buy time. At the same time, we have to find a way to announce this to the entire society. Whether it is an unknown virus or an attack from aliens, we cannot let the public realize the existence of the idealistic invasion..."

In just a few seconds, countless voices flooded into Lin Chen's ears like a tide. If there was not a chip in his mind that could control his body and classify all the passively input information, the ordinary human brain would not be able to process and organize so much information in an instant.

Soon, the sounds faded away, as if the owner of the phone was looking for a quiet place to talk to him.

Soon, an old and tired voice sounded:
"It's Xiaolin, calling me, what's the matter?"

Obviously, this was Fang Changqing's voice. He paused and continued:
"I've read the three laws of the soul you proposed. They are indeed very forward-looking. It is very likely that they will become the key theory for us humans to open the next era. They are also similar to the [Ether Theory] we proposed in recent years to deal with idealistic invasions. Therefore, many of us are paying close attention to this. I hope you can take a key step to allow us humans to step into the soul realm and find the answer to how future civilizations can survive disasters..."

"Ether theory?" Lin Chen immediately grasped the key words in this passage and asked, "Teacher, is this the theory proposed by the scientific community regarding the soul?"

Fang Changqing explained:
"Yes, ever since the outbreak of the idealistic invasion, any supernatural disaster has been closely related to human imagination. There is a soul behind it, and there is an inexplicable connection. In addition, with the birth of various supernatural phenomena, we have also developed certain theories in this regard, and the most famous and widely recognized one is the ether theory." "For example, the soul, we believe that it is a special substance with substantial influence. It is both idealistic and materialistic. It can be regarded as a special information that can interfere with the movement of ordinary matter."

"Like the microscopic particles in quantum mechanics, it has multiple properties. It is everywhere, and through the ether, it can connect the purely materialistic world and the purely idealistic world. And now the birth of these disasters is closely related to the etheric matter..."

"So what breakthroughs have we made in this area now?" Lin Chen asked.

"This theory is the same as your Soul Law. It was only proposed in recent years. However, humans have already tried their best to deal with the upcoming S-level disaster and can no longer spare any extra energy..." Fang Changqing sighed deeply and continued, "So now we have to deal with the current disaster first..."

"Speaking of the current disaster..." Lin Chen frowned and described the anomalies he had observed recently one by one.

The abnormal winter weather, the unusually lush vegetation, the rapidly increasing number of species... those abnormalities that were changing silently were all keenly noticed and seen by Lin Chen.

After hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before speaking:
"We can't tell you the specifics, because no one knows if too many people know about this, and whether it will lead to idealistic invasion and further shake the physical rules of the world, causing the whole thing to collapse. So I can only say that you should deal with the things in your hometown as soon as possible, and then take your parents back to Tianhai City as quickly as possible..."

When Lin Chen heard this, his eyes moved:
"So I'd better finish something like this within a few days?"

"We can't be sure about the time, but the sooner the better," said Fang Changqing.

"I understand, mentor." Lin Chen instantly understood what the other party meant.

"Also, make good use of those high-tech weapons I gave you and protect yourself. We can't spare any extra energy now. If you are really in danger, I'm afraid there will be no extra support." Fang Changqing gave his final instructions.

"Don't worry, mentor, I will be careful about my safety." Lin Chen nodded.

beep--

The phone was hung up at this moment.

"It seems that the evolutionary disaster is about to break out ahead of schedule."

Lin Chen put down his phone and looked out the window at the lush and green scenery in the winter, which looked like a tropical rainforest. His expression became solemn.

"Huh? But I didn't hear this matter mentioned in your conversation just now." Su Mu couldn't help scratching his head when he heard that, feeling a little confused.

"The entire civilization is treating it so seriously, and the military district of a large civilized city has entered a state of combat readiness. It can only be an S-level disaster." Lin Chen said, "As for why it was not mentioned on the phone, it is because such critical information cannot be disclosed directly, even to the top people, because no one knows what the consequences will be. No one is willing to take this responsibility, and no one is willing to bear the consequences."

"But if you guess it yourself and then ask, then you can give some vague hints."

Having said that, Lin Chen looked at Su Mu:
"I told my instructor about my guess and asked him about it. His answer was not "don't think too much" or "it's impossible", but "I can't say". So this "I can't say" already represents the answer."

"Ah, this..." Su Mu was speechless, "Why do you smart people have such a hard time talking?"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lin Chen propped up his chin and looked out the window, "I don't know what form this S-level disaster will take."

"Is it like the ancient catastrophic flood that instantly covers the entire world? If you survive it, everything will be fine, but if you can't survive it, you will die; or is it a continuous disaster that covers the entire world... These two different forms of outbreaks have different consequences and different ways of dealing with them."

"Is there any difference between the two?" Fang Zhengyang asked at this moment.

"If it's the former, then we have to accumulate the foundation of the entire civilization to withstand the first wave of attacks. As long as we can withstand the most ferocious part, the rest will not be a problem." Lin Chen looked puzzled. "But if it's the latter, then it will be troublesome. At that time, the competition will be about the foundation of both sides and how long human civilization can last without collapsing under the disaster..."

"What do you mean? How long do you need to last without collapsing?" Fang Zhengyang was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly.

Lin Chen said calmly:
"Whether it is a force, a country, or even a civilization, it is impossible to maintain a state of war for a long time. The war between the two major powers in the last era has already explained everything. A long war, even a cold war, is an unbearable burden for any society."

"The stronger and more superior a civilization's system is, the more it can withstand the pressure of war and the longer it can last. But there is a limit after all."

"It takes time for a baby to grow, time to cultivate talents, and time for the development of science and technology. Only through continuous accumulation can an extremely terrifying ability to withstand pressure suddenly burst out. But if the war lasts longer than the limit that civilization can bear, then the system of cultivating and accumulating foundation will have problems. At that time, let alone external forces, the internal system may collapse."

This is just like making a great effort at first, then it becomes weaker and then it is exhausted.

When a disaster first strikes, most people can unite to fight it, but as time goes by, resources begin to decrease, casualties exceed original estimates, and technological development cannot keep up with environmental changes... At that time, people's hearts begin to waver, and the entire group will be in danger of falling apart.

"Then how long can humans bear it?" Fang Zhengyang's face suddenly changed when he heard this analysis, and he asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. I'm not at the highest level of civilization. I don't know all our backgrounds, nor do I know the intensity and form of the disaster in the future. So, I can't predict it." Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I can only say, take one step at a time and see."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressing.

At this moment, the car is heading towards Yuncang City. (End of this chapter)
