To Four Thousand Years Later - v6 Chapter 15

“You mean that spirit body? Oh, that’s a person who has just been put to sleep.” Lying in the dormant cabin, Carl unconsciously reappeared Zheng Fu’s words at that time: “He lived five times and toiled for two lifetimes. , Two lifetimes of enjoyment… But in this lifetime, he feels that he has lived enough.

He will die forever. And his power will be with us.

Carl murmured, his movements slightly paused. And he himself had died seven times. Now it is your eighth life…but in total, he has only tasted the taste of slow old age and death once in total.

Because since the first time he was aging on the sickbed, he has made up his mind that he would rather die in the front line than stay in a comfortable place and enjoy the service and care of his partner, where he wants a brighter life. He wants a more glorious life.

Still want to live. If you have the ability, serve the people and dedicate all your energy and brains; if you don’t have the ability, don’t, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the ability. Isn’t he still alive? Anyway, for Karl, the least important thing is life. If he exhausts one life, he will get another life. It’s like an arcade machine with infinite life…the reason why he can continue to play forever. There is only “fun” to speak of. When Carl loses his joy in life…that’s when his life ends. Just like what I saw in front of the Shencheng Astronomical Torch. The spirit body sleeps peacefully in the belly of the angel, gradually dissolving and dissolving without any pain. Little by little, she faded away her own color, turned into the purest spiritual energy… and then returned to this world and this society. Their spiritual energy will become electricity, food, and medicine… and their lives will be forever remembered. All their existing knowledge and memories will become digital libraries one after another, and will be kept inside the giant tower of mind. Become an immortal symbol of human civilization.

– This is much better than the old days.

When a mortal dies, he can also leave behind his own life. They can also upload their consciousness to the virtual world “center”, and enjoy real immortality in the infinite world. But that’s for old people. It’s still early.

long…”

Carl murmured, then sneered: “Forget it. I haven’t lived enough yet.

It was he who closed the hatch completely with a snap, and pressed the indicator button to confirm the deep sleep. As the gray gas was released into the cabin, Karl gradually lost consciousness. He was in a personal sleeping cabin similar to a coffin, and his breathing became more and more calm. The water surface in the cabin gradually rose and spread, and finally, Karl’s consciousness fell into chaos again. It was as if he had had a dream.

At that time, Carl hadn’t died yet. He also has his own surname – Er Wellington. That’s his full name.

There is a younger brother and a younger sister. He is the eldest son in the family.

Also has a pro. But no father. Of course, in this era… there is no possibility of death or sacrifice…His father Carl studied at the University of Washington, majoring in electrical and psionic engineering. After graduation, relying on his excellent personal ability—and the lack of artificial intelligence in this era—he easily became an engineer and obtained a third-level certificate (meaning that his personal ability has surpassed the artificial intelligence in the same industry) .

At that time, Karl was young and energetic. His first order after graduation was to go to the No. 1 space station to repair the satellite that was almost knocked down by the Zerg and is now dilapidated. It is running, transmitting important data back, and completing the handover with the newly launched psionic satellite “Aleister”.

No one expected that he could successfully complete this task—he spent seven years repairing the “Roger Bacon” with his two mechanical companions. For this reason, he won the “Golden Rose Award”. This is the second highest achievement in the world that an inventor and engineer can get, second only to the “Solomon Award”.

But when he returned to Earth, he got a bad news—or rather, a notice. After all three of them became adults, his mother chose to live in the “center”. Achieve cyber immortality. And his younger brother dropped out of school to join the band, stayed on the earth to enjoy life, seemed to have become a little famous star, and was touring around the world; while his younger sister committed suicide due to relationship problems while she was in school, and was punished for fifteen years. imprisonment. Has not yet been reborn. When he opened the door with the mentality of reunion after a long absence, and saw the dusty room, he finally realized something.

He has few friends. Parents abandoned them. The three brothers and sisters each have their own lives, and there is no communication or support among them. The concept of family in the earth age has become extremely rare in the interstellar age. Carl finally realizes that he doesn’t really have many choices in life. And after he died of old age and resurrected, he sadly found that brother R had been reincarnated twice. He was just born now. His younger sister was already in decline, got married and had children, and even had a grandson.

From then on, he was just Carl.

At the beginning of the second life, he fell into confusion. He didn’t know what to do, and he didn’t want to enter the center for pleasure. What he chose at this time was to rush to the street to breed with adults who were bigger and stronger than himself. It would be even better if you can take Dunmai. And when others scold him angrily, “Are you full?!”, he will nod excitedly. He has been on the streets like this for twelve years, and has gained quite a reputation. It wasn’t until he was forty that he began to age again. After that, his accumulated fame collapsed overnight and turned into a stepping stone for others. And he was lonely and helpless, and sadly found that he had no friends since his two lifetimes… The few people who could talk were either serving their sentences or being resurrected.

So later, he chose to join the army. It can be regarded as finding an outlet to vent violence and grievances…or it has evolved from “seeking beating” to “seeking death”.

After that, he finally found the meaning of his life. He even felt that he had wasted more than a hundred years of time—the days of fighting with the bugs were the happiest for him, and he didn’t want to die. He wants to shine.

He can also glow and generate heat.

Karl’s consciousness floated in a cold, chaotic sea of ​​darkness. His psychic energy was shining brightly, like a fish in the deep sea, while his consciousness was chaotic, unable to think, let alone open his eyes. It was as if the limbs had been severed. Like falling into an abyss. Like sinking into the ocean.

Until his consciousness receives some signal and floats up naturally, you know a brand new body.
