Chapter 149

In the locked solar system, Meng Yi was deducing future developments.

"The Earth, this 'novice village', is a bit fragile."

Without the interference of extraordinary power, human civilization could turn itself into a radioactive wasteland with just its tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.

"To prevent technological weapons from destroying the evolution testing ground, the destructive power of technological weapons must be limited in the early stages, but the possibility of civilization climbing the technological path cannot be reduced."

Many brain-hole works he had read in his previous life gave Meng Yi inspiration.

"The 'World Energy Level Theory' has its reasons for existing."

"Increasing the strength of the Earth novice village and reducing the damage caused to the environment by individual extraordinary beings and technological weapons can solve this problem."

This plan will be carried out in two aspects.

①: Significantly increase the Earth's mass, like ten times, a hundred times the area expansion...

②: The Trisolarans' sophons can lock Earth's technological development; he can completely do the opposite, modifying technological parameters to reduce the performance of weapons like thermobaric bombs, fuel-air bombs, nuclear bombs, and hydrogen bombs.

The above two points are not difficult for "Phase Three: Galaxy Power · Meng Yi", who can interfere with the four fundamental forces of the universe and modify the underlying rules of the local universe.

"Increasing mass is postponed for now; the Earth civilization at the current stage cannot withstand higher intensity planetary gravity; wait until I complete the 'Star Body'."

"On the contrary, reducing weapon destructive power can begin; it's just a small problem of moving a finger."

The outer space satellite chains and space stations were scrapped into space junk; there's no reason why thermal weapons, which are quite useful in the early and mid-stages, could escape unscathed.

"Start working!"

Meng Yi raised his hand, and the "Infinite World Tree" rooted in the Sun constructed a guqin in front of him.

'Zheng—'

Fingers gently plucked the strings, and the high-spec interference power of the top Seventh Rank swept across the Earth, silently annihilating existing technological weapons and covering the physical rule parameters of the Earth.

"Temporarily seal high-power weapons, don't lock other aspects, keep it up."

The guqin dissipated, and Meng Yi began the version update from "Bai Xue Battle Body v3.5 · Positive and Negative Infinite Star" to "Bai Xue Battle Body v4.0 · Star Body".

"Estimated time is one and a half years, barely acceptable."

"At that time, I will accept the results of the 'StarCraft · Phase I Project'."

The spread of "Spirit Qi" caused all things to begin to undergo subtle mutations.

Satellite chains failed, and the existing civilization order suffered a painful blow.

Weak countries became 'blind', while the Five Permanent Members with complete industrial systems were much better off.

Major economies were like ants on a hot pan, busy running around.

Think tanks worked through the night, racking their brains to think about the cause of the mutation.

Misfortune is what fortune relies on; fortune is what misfortune hides in.

There are disadvantages, and naturally there are advantages.

Humans immersed in the torrent of "Spirit Qi" found that their physical fitness and mental state had improved a lot.

For example, patients with terminal cancer who were despairing and waiting to die found that the cancer cells causing their bodies to mutate had stopped spreading.

The elderly in their twilight years felt their muddled spirits refreshed, their gray hair gained a bit of black, the wrinkles on their faces gradually faded, and their energy improved significantly.

For physically strong military personnel, the improvement effect brought by high-intensity training was even more obvious.

The cultivation classics of famous mountains and sects for calming the mind and nourishing energy were no longer useless decorations.

Having opened the "Evolution Path", humanity was striding forward in the direction of an 'extraordinary species'.

Humans were still like this, and the changes in animals, plants, and microorganisms were even more obvious.

Arctic region.

A polar bear with snow-white fur, a shoulder height of 1.7 meters, a body length of 2.6 meters, and a weight of 800kg, had rational thinking added to its beastly eyes.

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is the most difficult season for the largest land carnivore · the polar bear.

Today, this polar bear discovered that as long as it accelerated its breathing speed, it didn't have to suffer from hunger, and there was a warm airflow infiltrating its limbs and bones.

'Sniff—sniff—'

The sense of smell of the glacial beast was very sensitive, and having initially opened its wisdom, it searched for places with more "Spirit Qi".

The much smarter polar bear discovered that the higher the place, the more "Spirit Qi" there was, so it ran rapidly toward the highest iceberg in its memory.

Usually, polar bears would avoid conflicts as much as possible and reduce energy consumption caused by high-intensity exercise unless necessary.

After bringing energy through breathing "Spirit Qi", the polar bear's consumption and replenishment reached a clever balance, and it didn't feel very tired even when maintaining speed while running.

A few hours later.

The furry glacial giant beast arrived at the highest peak in its memory and found that many of its own kind were already entrenched there.

A few glaring bloodstains were scattered on the snowy glacier.

A few smaller polar bears huddled in the edge corners had their white fur stained blood-red.

The deep-to-the-bone injuries should have been fatal, but a magical scene occurred; their injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Roar—!!"

The large polar bear that arrived wanted to compete for the core area with more "Spirit Qi".

Standing on its hind legs, it roared loudly, the sound traveling far in the biting cold wind.

'Crackle—!'

In the core area, a polar bear that had resonated to an extraordinary frequency, with a burly body weighing two tons, was surrounded by jumping electric arcs.

The thunder bear opened its pupils glowing with misty lightning, impatiently waved its bear paw, and the electric arcs drew several charred cracks several meters deep in front of the newcomer.

"Roar—!!"

The Thunder Xiong Wang roared, scaring the newcomer polar bear so much it didn't dare to offend again.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and ice and snow flew.

Two other bear kings that had resonated with extraordinary frequency bands arrived.

The bear king that controlled ice and snow had a layer of sturdy dark blue armor on its body, covered in ferocious ice cones, a fully armed war machine.

The bear king that used strong winds had its fur turn sky blue, and its clumsy body evolved toward a streamlined shape with aerodynamic beauty.

The three met, and none retreated.

For more "Spirit Qi", for faster "Evolution", a battle was inevitable.

The polar bears that hadn't completed extraordinary resonance scattered and fled, avoiding the life-and-death duel of the three bear kings.

Pacific Ocean, deep sea area where sunlight cannot reach.

There is no distinction between night and day here, always shrouded in an absolute dark environment.

At the edge of an undersea volcano, two bumps grew on the head of a huge fish, and four claws grew under its body.

The sea monster, resembling both a dragon and a fish, was covered in red scales, with a body length of over thirty meters.

It was swallowing the high-concentration "Spirit Qi" escaping from the undersea volcano; its huge vertical pupils, as if cast from magma, seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness, and the heat torrent emitted from its body warned any uninvited guest who dared to break into its territory.

Below the trench.

A giant squid also underwent mutation; more tentacles grew from under its body, and its turbid beast pupils gradually became clear.

'Swish—!'

Under the high-pressure environment, the squid sea monster moved like a rabbit, its waving tentacles pushed away the water flow, and the tentacles covered in bone blades wrapped around an adult sperm whale.

The adult sperm whale, 18 meters long and weighing over seventy tons, was easily strangled by a tentacle of the squid sea monster.

The squid sea monster used its tentacles to drag the sperm whale over, opened its bloody mouth, and rapidly devoured its old nemesis that it used to have to fight to the death.

Not long after, the seventy-ton sperm whale was devoured completely.

Under the action of "Spirit Qi", biomass was rapidly converted into nutrients for its own growth, driving a significant increase in body mass.

Mid-layer sea area far from danger.

On the seabed, many weak aquatic animals gathered together.

They were busy transporting stones, gravel, seaweed, coral..., seemingly wanting to build something.

The weak races that received "Apocalypse" united to build a statue for the "God of Apocalypse" in the dark.

A faint radiance of faith spread from the unfinished statue to the four seas, warning those extraordinary sea monsters like "Occupying the Land · Fire Dragon" and "Devouring Evolution · Water Squid".

Land, Shenzhou · a dense primeval forest somewhere.

Survival of the fittest.

Even at night, it still revealed the undisguised law of the jungle.

By the clear stream, a sturdy tiger sat up in a human posture, obsessively looking at the bright full moon in the sky.

The "Spirit Qi" diffused by the full moon gathered toward the tiger's head in the form of 'moonlight', and individual resonance with extraordinary frequency allowed the tiger to embark on the path of evolution.

The cold nether wind whistled.

The prey that died under its fangs and claws hid in the nether wind in the form of "ghosts".

It's not very appropriate to call it a 'tiger' anymore; perhaps it should be called the "Nether Mountain Lord".

Peak of the high mountain.

The snow-white wolf king worshipped the moon.

The wolf pack followed the "Moon Wolf King", learning the wolf king's movements step by step, absorbing "Spirit Qi" to rapidly transform.

Bottom of the cliff.

The vibrant ancient tree shook its branches.

Hundreds of vermilion fruits diffused a refreshing fragrance, blown into the distance by the breeze.

Many small animals that couldn't resist the temptation broke into the forbidden area, and the roots of the ancient tree rose like pythons, strangling the fresh food.

Soon, the unlucky ones became one of the many white bones under the tree.

The "Life Magic Tree" absorbing nutrients pulled out more branches, and the roots spread toward the deeper bottom layer.

The vermilion fruits acting as bait climbed with a few wisps of blood.

While the appearance was more eerie, the fragrance also became more intense.

The "Extraordinary Fungi" hiding in the dark parasitized spores onto many extraordinary giant beasts with average strength, waiting for work to seize nutrients for growth.

Under the night curtain, a goshawk with a wingspan of nearly ten meters soared.

Many blue-white patterns appeared on the edges of its feathers, and its beak and claws turned into bright gold.

"Li—!!"

The "Space Hawk" shrieked, folded its wings, and dived sharply.

The instinctively operated space power allowed its body to pierce through the barriers of space.

In a deep mountain pool, a giant snake over ten meters long fled in panic, trying to escape back to the pool to avoid its natural enemy.

'Crackle—!'

The hawk king's claws pierced the giant snake's head and seven inches, lifted the giant snake's corpse, flew into the high sky, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Southern Hemisphere · African wilderness.

At noon, a majestic lion king shook its golden-red fur shining with the sun's brilliance.

The lion king's claws reached forward, and raging flames burned under its paws.

The "Blazing Lion" walking through fire patrolled its territory, using the drawn black ash circle as a boundary, warning other extraordinary giant beasts not to look for trouble.

Several hundred kilometers away from the "Blazing Lion".

A rhinoceros clad in sturdy armor was confronting an adult African elephant.

The giant elephant's tusks were as sharp as knives, stabbing a series of sparks on the rhinoceros's steel armor.

How could the rhinoceros be willing to suffer a loss?

It couldn't beat an adult African elephant before, but it was no longer what it used to be!

The "Armored Rhinoceros" rushed over with all its might, but was deflected by the giant elephant's trunk.

Two extraordinary giant beasts with great endurance and thick skin began a protracted war that had to end with one side fleeing or even dying.

Coincidentally.

In a river on the African continent, an extraordinary giant beast evolved from a crocodile was in a life-and-death duel with a hippopotamus several stories high.

Wild animals that had opened their wisdom were not stupid; the evolution speed of only absorbing "Spirit Qi" was too slow.

Eating the flesh and blood of extraordinary giant beasts could significantly accelerate their evolution speed.

"Spirit Qi" made extraordinary giant beasts fight, and "Spirit Qi" also shortened the reproduction cycle and increased the reproduction quantity of extraordinary giant beasts.

Antarctic glacier.

Prehistoric ancient viruses frozen for long ages revived, wanting to pollute the amphibious creatures living on the Antarctic continent and sea areas.

The first batch of tens of thousands of extraordinary giant beasts evolved from penguin groups, walrus groups, whale groups, etc., joined forces to build a Great Wall of Ice to block the spread of the virus.

The "Spirit Qi" of the Antarctic continent was too rich, and neither the ancient virus species nor the extraordinary giant beasts were willing to give up.

This was destined to be a war of spread and anti-spread, pollution and anti-pollution, which could not end in a short time.

In just half a month, human society discovered that plants were growing wildly, and traffic between cities became a big problem.

Incidents of zoo beasts going crazy and hurting people were everywhere, and incidents of domestic pets killing their owners were not rare.

The think tanks of various countries were not decorations, and there were never a shortage of smart people.

Humans soon discovered that "Spirit Qi" seemed to favor famous mountains and rivers where few people went.

On the contrary, in modernized cities with large populations, perhaps due to pollution, the "Spirit Qi" concentration was very low.

For a time, the real estate bubble collapsed first.

Humans who wanted to go to the countryside to pursue "Spirit Qi" and "Evolution" found that it had long been occupied by animals and plants that had 'become spirits'.

The benefits brought by "Spirit Qi" were too great!

So great that it overturned the existing world pattern and reshaped world civilization!

How could humans give up such immense wealth?

Even if technological weapons were banned for the most part, they had to take down places rich in "Spirit Qi" even if they had to use their lives to fill them!

Shenzhou's action efficiency was very high; relying on the existing number of troops was not enough, so they started a large conscription plan and a national physical strengthening plan!

The elders of major sects that had been passed down for a long time united with big names in human body science, medicine, and biology to promote the "New Era Radio Gymnastics · v1.0".

The upper levels forced elementary school students to start strengthening their bodies and significantly increased the proportion of scores occupied by physical fitness tests.

The 'physically weak and sickly' PE teachers were proud and began to occupy the classes of other subject teachers in turn.

"Apocalypse Year 1", Shenzhou · Shanghai.

The roof of a high building at Shilan Superpower Middle School.

A little boy in a black suit, wearing a pair of shiny little leather shoes, with black hair and golden eyes, looked solemnly at the loser Lu sweating like rain on the playground.

Lu Mingze curled up on the edge of the rooftop, blankly and helplessly saying: "Brother, the world has changed."
