Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 50 Black Mist
"Ah?" Xie Shen was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why?"

The man in the suit said, "Because when people are tortured, they generate a black mist."

"This black mist contains enormous energy."

"You can think of black fog as oil, gas, or solar energy."

"Isn't it easy to understand if I describe it this way?"

“I understand, but.” Xie Shen asked doubtfully, “Don’t they say that matter and energy cannot be created out of thin air? The black mist produced after a person is tortured always sounds like something created out of nothing, a bit like a perpetual motion machine. This doesn’t make sense!”

"It's indeed irrational." The man in the suit said, "But isn't the emergence of resurrection also impossible to explain scientifically?"

"If you think about it this way, is it acceptable that black mist will be produced when humans are tortured?"

Ah this.

It is true.
Xie Shen no longer worried about whether the "black mist" was reasonable.

He then said, "Since you said that when people are tortured, black mist will be produced. Then there is one thing I don't understand: why have I never seen the 'black mist' you mentioned before in the Tower Prison?"

"Because the black fog cannot be seen by the naked eye." The man in the suit replied: "The reason why the space station can detect the black fog is mainly thanks to Li Xiu who made a kind of 'black fog lens'. As long as you wear it, you can see the black fog directly with your naked eyes."

"Is this all possible?" Xie Shen always thought that Li Xiu was a genius.

But I never thought that he was so talented.

"Li Xiu is indeed a talent." The man in the suit continued, "Because of this discovery, he has now become the leader of the space station's scientific research team and has a very high status."

"And didn't he join our Separation Society?"

"This way, if the research team on the space station makes any new discoveries, our separation meeting will be able to know through Li Xiu first."

Li Xiuzhen has finally made it big.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask, "What is the research team led by Li Xiu doing recently?"

"Of course we are trying to find a way to develop and utilize the 'black mist'." The man in the suit replied, "Black mist is a new energy source. The top management attaches great importance to it. So while trying to save themselves, they also allocated a small part of their resources to support Li Xiu's research on the 'black mist'."

outside the laboratory.

After chatting with Xie Shen about the "black fog", the man in the suit said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

Although the space station is undergoing earth-shaking changes, Xie Shen always stays in seclusion in the secret room.

Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed, and another major event occurred in the Tiangong Space Station.

"Uh"

“It’s a big deal, but it doesn’t really affect us that much.”

Outside the secret room.

The man in the suit said to Xie Shen, "Didn't I say before that the top executives of the Europa Space Station were all dead?"

"Then not long ago, a senior official from Europa was unexpectedly resurrected and came to our space station."

"He was also lucky. He happened to have a Chinese name, and then he happened to be resurrected by our people."

"Because of this person, we have obtained a lot of technologies related to the 'Biological Ascension Project'."

Xie Shen has never been interested in high technology.

He remained silent at the moment and just listened to what the man in the suit was saying.

The latter continued: "Do you remember the 'virtual world' that the giant brain mentioned earlier on the Europa Space Station?"

"remember."

The words "virtual world" actually aroused Xie Shen's interest. He asked, "What's wrong?"

The man in the suit said, "In fact, the 'virtual world' that the giant brain refers to does exist. If you regard the virtual world as an online game, then the giant brain is the server that maintains this game, and all uploaders are players in this game."

"That's a pretty good description, but," Xie Shen asked in confusion, "If you say that, how do you explain Collins, the leader of the six-man team? Why is he fake in the virtual world?"

The man in the suit replied: "Because the computing power of the giant brain is limited."

“This shouldn’t be hard to understand, right?”

“As we all know, the more players there are in an online game, the greater the load on the server.”

"The same goes for giant brains."

"So in order to save computing power, the senior executives of the Europa Space Station only uploaded their own consciousness to the cloud server."

"As for the people in the middle and lower levels, they are all used as 'nutrients' to strengthen that giant brain."

"This includes the eldest brother Collins."

"As for how he was transformed into nutrients, I can't explain it to you."

"After all, I'm not specialized in this."

The resurrection of the senior executives of the Europa Space Station was just a small episode for Xie Shen.

He no longer cared about it.

He just turned around and asked, "By the way, how is the research on the black mist going? Is there any progress?"

"No."

The man in the suit thought for a moment and said, "According to Li Xiu, the 'black mist' is a very special inert substance."

"The so-called 'inertness' refers to substances that are slow to react physically and chemically and remain stable under various environments."

"So, even though the 'black mist' contains huge energy, it is difficult to find a way to utilize it in a short period of time."

"Oh, right."

At this point in the conversation, the man in the suit suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

He then said to Xie Shen, "Recently, Li Xiu has been asking me about your situation, saying that he needs your help with something. When I asked him what it was, he just smiled and refused to tell me. So I wanted to ask you, how long will it take for you to be released?"

"Soon."

In the secret room.

Xie Shen, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, a spiritual power so strong that it seemed to be tangible surged up from his body.

Now the foundation of the Tao has been established.

Xie Shen is only one step away from the foundation-building stage.
Outside the secret room.

The strange vision caused by Xie Shen opening his eyes made the man in the suit subconsciously feel a little uneasy. He said with a hint of panic in his tone: "Brother, are you okay? I suddenly felt scared just now. Did something happen to you?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xie Shen replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to leave in February next year."

"During the Spring Festival?" The man in the suit looked thoughtful.

With half expectation and half curiosity, he said to Xie Shen in the secret room: "Okay, I'll bring people to welcome you then!"

After some greetings, the man in the suit said goodbye and left again.

Xie Shen continued to meditate in the secret room.
