Perhaps because his IQ increased by more than 30 points, Zhou Xing became more rational and his mentality became stronger, and he reluctantly accepted the consequences of mission failure.
Unable to figure out how to complete the task, Zhou Xing put the problem aside for the time being and thought about other things, especially the sudden changes in the system after becoming a great scientist.
Zhou Xing couldn't wait to ask the system: "The penalty for mission failure is to reduce the 'influence targets', so is the promotion of the great scientist related to the number of 'influence targets'?"
"Yes, host, the target affected by you will determine the core foundation for you to move towards a top scientist. The size of the target's ethnic group, the degree of technology application, the level of civilization development, the degree of civilization prosperity... and so on will cost a certain amount of contribution value. To upgrade the title level." The system replied in detail:
"Understood, is the next level the intermediate level? To what extent does civilization need to develop? How much contribution points does it cost?" Zhou Xing nodded and continued to ask.
"Yes, host, there are four levels of great scientists: primary, intermediate, advanced, and the highest level: top. According to the development level of interstellar civilization, it can be simplified into: planetary civilization, galaxy civilization, star civilization, and cosmic civilization; large The entry-level scientist needs to reach the level of galaxy civilization and spend 20 billion contribution points to advance to the intermediate level." The system answered Zhou Xing's question.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing sighed. There is no need to count on upgrading to the intermediate level in the short term. The current upper limit of contribution value is only more than 7 billion. A population of 20 billion can burst the earth.
"Every time the title is upgraded, the system will give a special reward and a mysterious reward. The host is also asked to work hard." As if it sensed Zhou Xing's "frustration", the system reminded and encouraged.
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly. No matter how hard he worked, it was useless. He would probably have to wait until he reached the system upgrade requirements. He had better find a way to complete the task of "The Origin of Humanity" first! Otherwise, if the mission fails, many people will die in one fell swoop. He cannot think of becoming the eternal sinner of all mankind.
Zhou Xing left the system's virtual space, sat on the wide and comfortable boss's chair, frowned and pondered.
Since human civilization has written records, it has been asking itself for thousands of years: Where did we come from
If the theory of evolution is a universal law in the biological world, then this law should be suitable for the evolution of all living things. Since one ape has evolved into a human, why haven't we discovered other apes that are evolving? Or why haven’t we discovered the trend of other apes evolving into humans so far? Why is it that only humans on Earth have evolved at such a rapid rate
If we consider the entire biological world on earth, although the evolution of animals will be very different in body shape, there should be synchronous evolution in terms of functions and characteristics. Take a look at other animals! Mammals share many characteristics and functions, suggesting that they have evolved along an essentially identical trajectory. However, we humans are the miracle of the entire animal world. Our evolutionary trajectory is fundamentally different from theirs. They are simply two different things. Except for humans, we can no longer find animals that walk upright.
If upright walking marks the evolution of animals, then this evolution should not only be reflected in humans, but similar evolution should also occur among other animals. This is in line with the laws of animal evolution on the entire earth.
However, in other animals, we don’t see any tendency to walk upright. Why is this? If we continue to ask this question, how did our human evolutionary lineage come from
“…”
There are various inferences, and various hypotheses about the origin of modern humans can be generally divided into two categories: One category attributes the origin of humans to accidents outside the earth, that is, humans are not the result of the evolution of the earth's creatures themselves, but came from the depths of the universe. Those created by highly intelligent creatures are like the theory that aliens created humans; the other group insists that the origin of humans can only be considered from the development of the earth itself. No matter how it changes, humans are always the result of the evolution of the earth's creatures.
The two kinds of thinking are both reasonable and have weaknesses. The "strong evidence" has disappeared over hundreds of thousands of years. It is very difficult to determine a research and development direction.
This mission system does not require him to complete it independently. He can use all resources to explore together in two directions.

"What are you thinking about again? You are so absorbed in your thoughts." A gentle voice sounded from behind Zhou Xing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xing immediately felt a pair of slightly cold and silky fingers gently kneading the solar systems on both sides. The force was just right and very comfortable, which greatly relieved the dull pain caused by overuse of the brain.
With this familiar technique, Zhou Xing knew it was Tang Xin without having to guess.
"I didn't think about anything." Zhou Xing leaned his head on the back of the chair, gave up thinking, and said with a comfortable expression.
"Do you have a new project to study?" Tang Xin lowered his head and looked at Zhou Xing's face carefully, and asked in a low voice.
Once Zhou Xing was conducting scientific research on a project, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to it, often neglecting himself. During the time they were with him, the two of them had argued about this issue more than a hundred times.
The "Tebo Theory of All Things" that Zhou Xing painstakingly researched has attracted worldwide attention and his reputation is soaring. However, he seems not to be satisfied with this. At least, Tang Xin has never seen a truly happy smile on his face.
What is Zhou Xing doing research on? Isn’t it annoying that he has such endless research? Can't you just act like a normal person
Tang Xin suddenly felt very tired, very tired! She can no longer hold on. She just hopes that Zhou Xing can be like a normal boyfriend and spend more time with her, instead of letting her stay alone in a luxurious and spacious office, month after month, year after year. work.
But to be separated from Zhou Xing... Tang Xin was extremely reluctant to leave. Her trembling eyelashes began to fill with tears, and the tears slowly blurred her eyes.
Suddenly, a crystal tear fell down and "exploded" on Zhou Xing's forehead.
Zhou Xing felt a chill on his face and suddenly opened his eyes.
What caught the eye was Tang Xin's pursed lips, red eyes, and silent tears.
"Why are you crying?" Zhou Xing stood up from his chair as if he was electrocuted and asked nervously: "Xiao Xin, what happened?"
Tang Xin wiped away her overflowing tears twice, looked at Zhou Xing with a straight face, and said, "Nothing happened, I just suddenly realized that we are not suitable to be together anymore."
Zhou Xing was taken aback, and then combined with Tang Xue's question just now, he was so keen that he "reacted".
Zhou Xingru had divine help and quickly explained and reassured: "Xiao Xin, I have no plans to start a new research project! I was just thinking about our marriage!"
Tang Xin's clear eyes fell on Zhou Xing's face without saying a word, not believing Zhou Xing's words at all.
