"Can I really..." Lidney murmured looking at his palm.
He is a pure human being. The level of technology and medical treatment in this era is very advanced. He can live to be at least a hundred years old. If this age is placed in the ancient earth period, it can be called a long life. Not enough for an evolved human to fully grow up.
A long time ago, human beings pursued immortality. They tried their best to seize the passing time and longed to keep an immortal face. After thousands of years, they finally succeeded, but they also lost their moral bottom line and conscience. All kinds of creatures in the place mate and give birth to "evolved humans" dressed in human skin.
The chance of conception of evolved humans is very low, and they may not be able to give birth to a single child for hundreds of years. Ironically, pure humans with weak vitality still maintain a very high rate of conception, and evolved humans with "noble" blood For the reproduction of the family, a group of pure humans are often raised to maintain the inheritance of blood at the last moment, and only pure humans can mate with other species to produce new blood. Evolutionary humans have always despised pure humans, but they cannot do without them.
From the perspective of evolutionary humans, pure humans are no different from reproductive machines. They only have a short lifespan of a hundred years and an ugly appearance that will continue to age after 50 years at most. No evolutionary humans will fall in love with pure humans, because of life. No wait, would you fall in love with an ant that will die tomorrow
When Lidney was very young, his entire world was only as big as the Freeport Pure Human Orphanage. His parents abandoned him when he was just born, and when he went to school later, the dean had changed. Yes, he went to school and learned a lot of knowledge, only to realize that the world is so vast. When he was in college, he already knew how small the planet he was on was compared with the entire empire and the entire galaxy, so he fell in love with it. The world under the microscope.
He has read in textbooks that the distance between atoms is very large. If every atom is gathered together, a person is only as big as an ant.
Lidney once stood naked in front of the mirror and observed his body. This body has smooth lines, fair skin, but is very fragile. How big is an ant? How old is a person? Whether it is an evolved human or a pure human, they are composed of most of the same elements, and when the distance between the atoms is changed, they will become the same small.
He once envied those evolved humans, because they have complete families and long lives, and they have so much time, even if they can't read all the books on all the planets in the interstellar world, it is enough for them to read the books in the entire Freeport Library , and it took Lidney nearly ten years to finish reading a shelf in the Freeport Library. He used one-tenth of his life to read one percent of the Freeport Library.
In a blink of an eye, that little figure has grown into a handsome young man, and his time flies too fast.
Lidney's evolutionary human classmate ten years ago skipped classes almost every day, eating, drinking and having fun in various entertainment venues in Freeport. Ten years later, Lidney started graduate school. He was still in junior high school, and was repeated because of insufficient test scores. The test paper that Zhang could calculate all the answers in Lidney at a glance actually trapped him for 3 years.
What is the meaning of their long lives
With such doubts in mind, Lidney went to the Imperial City as an exchange student for a year, and participated in the research of the imperial military closed wall, where Lidney met the most authoritative scientific research team in the entire interstellar, and also met many Well-known scientists, but there is no doubt that they are all evolutionary humans, and Lidney only asked them one question-this year Gui Geng
Lidney counted their average age:
Top scientists: average age 1000 years old
Senior scientific research personnel: generally 600 years old
Other ordinary bachelors: generally 400 years old +
Youngest cleaner: 200 years old
It is simply amazing that a pure human has entered a scientific research base full of evolved humans.
Many scientists came to visit Lidney. They all wanted to see how old this man was. When they saw that Lidney looked as young as them, they were very disappointed. How could he be so young? But after they asked Lidney's age, they would look at him with disdain and indifferent eyes: How old are you? Know what? Still want to do research with us? You have 80 years left to live, you are dying, maybe by the time we research it, your body will have turned into bones.
So Lidney only got the right to watch the research. He wandered around the laboratory all day, and he could only write some indifferent experimental reports with his notebook. The equation to calculate the answer was hard to think about, and it took the scientists 8 months to come up with the design inspiration that he wrote down on the draft paper on the first day he first entered the laboratory.
One day he stood behind a high maester and couldn't resist pointing out a mistake and got slapped, and from that day on Lidney knew he had to go.
The imperial capital cannot accommodate lowly pure humans. Even "noble" evolved humans have slums waiting for them, and they will live at the bottom of the world just like pure humans in their long lives.
No one wants to die early, and neither does he.
It’s not that Lidney didn’t look forward to it. He also thought that it would be great if he could have a longer life. He could read the books in the Freeport Library, go to other planets to see the scenery, and even he could live in the Imperial City. Those old idiots have researched the closed wall before, but these are impossible, his expectations will turn into regrets, and when he dies, he will sigh and disappear in an unknown corner. After another hundred years In the future, all the pure human friends who remember him will also die, and no one will remember them.
But he fell in love with Karl, and from then on these regrets turned into hate and pain, stuck in his throat, choked his breath, he couldn't speak, dared not even mention his life in front of Karl, because Carl will suffer more than he does.
Sometimes Lidney even regretted it, maybe he should have rejected Karl when he invited him to the vagrant, so that Karl would not be sad with him.
Seeing that Lidney's eyes were red, Hai'an panicked. He didn't understand why he just said that he would give Lidney a gift and made him cry
Hai'an had always been made to cry by August before, but this time Hai'an made Lidney cry, and his heart was filled with emotions such as anxiety and apology, which made him very uncomfortable. Hai'an couldn't help thinking, could it be that August Does he feel guilty when crying himself? If so, there is no need to be angry with August...
"Lidney... what's wrong with you? Is it because you don't like this gift?"
"No, I like it very much." Lidney grabbed Hai'an's hand, adjusted his emotions, and thanked solemnly: "Thank you, cheap."
With a goal, Lidney worked harder to learn magic. He was not stupid, but his talent was not as good as Quertan, but hard work could make up for it. After one day, Quertan could already use intermediate magic, and Lidney Just been able to mobilize the magic element.
But the learning speed of both of them is very fast, far surpassing most of the magic apprentices in the Nord Continent. Queltan's learning speed is so fast, Hai'an guessed that it may be because he has the blood of the earth beast. Lidney's talent, which is purely human, is surprisingly good, after all, he has nothing to add.
Hai'an Quiertan and Lidney sat in the pit for a day, and at-6765453 squatted on the edge of the pit and played with them for a day, harvesting a hockey puck from Hai'an and a rose wreath from Quertan, but In the evening, at-6765453 suddenly stood up and yelled: "A magnetic storm is coming!! Run, everyone!!" Then he jumped into the pit and shivered into a ball.
The robot that was attacking Colin Cosen and the others also stopped, and the world suddenly distorted, deformed and then shattered—backtracking to 'load files'.
Everyone returned to their original positions when they were 'archived'. There was a small vibration on the ground, and the backtracking changed back to the original. When they ran in front of Winchet and the others, it was the voice of Sisi Pucha, which proved that he had been backtracked. Loaded into the cockpit.
"Hide quickly, the magnetic storm is coming!" Sisi Pucha shouted anxiously, "There is no way to 'archive' backtracking, if you are taken away by the magnetic storm... you will really die..."
Sisi Census may still want to say something, but backtracking quickly shut down the voice, found a piece of land and started digging, grabbed a few robots and put them into the pit, and then buried themselves, those robots saw the backtracking action After that, they also started digging holes, but their efficiency was obviously not as high as backtracking, and the pits were shallow and slow.
"It's too late to plan, find something to hide!"
"My God!! I don't want to die yet! I lost my arm in the last magnetic storm."
"Woo, I don't want to die either, I don't have a body, whoever gives me a hug."
The headless robot made a crying sound, and Alia hugged the robot's head while trotting, and shouted to Winchet and the others, "Gather around Red Guard, climb up if you can!!"
The Red Guard also cooperated to open the cockpit and let some soldiers in. When the other soldiers heard Alia's shouting, they also quickly approached her and gathered around the Red Guard. The Red Guard drew her giant sword and drew a circle on the ground. "This is the maximum range of my protective shield. Only here can I protect you."
"Lidney... Lidney is still outside!!" Carl's breathing became rapid, and he turned around and wanted to run out to find Lidney, but August grabbed him.
"Don't go out." There was no ups and downs in August's voice.
Carl waved his hand away angrily, staring at his eyes: "Are you crazy! Bitch is outside too!! They will die!"
"Don't go out." August looked into Carl's eyes calmly, without changing his breathing, "I'll go."
