Chapter 3725
Schiller, however, seemed accustomed to it, dug his ears, and said: "I called and told you a long time ago. Except for some extremely serious external injuries, most internal medical lesions don't need to be managed; they will heal slowly by themselves. Children and teenagers in the developmental stage heal the fastest, followed by middle-aged people, and then the elderly..."
"Sorry, interrupt for a second," Wanda said, "So the things that happened in the hospital today are not a coincidence?"
Schiller pulled a stool over and sat down, then said: "Of course not. This is one of the benefits brought by the rebirth of the World Tree. The energy level of our universe has risen a lot, and all creatures living here have been affected, manifested in carbon-based organisms like humans, which is to enhance soul strength and significantly increase cell activity of the body. And the specific manifestation is: enhance human mental strength and physical fitness, cure most cell lesions..."
"So that's how it is," Wanda said, "No wonder the congenital heart disease of that child this morning self-healed. This is too magical, right?"
"Basically cannot be explained by science," Schiller said, "Because the cosmic energy level itself is more of a magical side statement. Simply put, the more abundant the energy in the universe, the higher the energy level, and the greater the changes in all creatures with souls. They will gradually tend towards perfect evolution."
"Perfect evolution?"
"That's right. Just like the golden apple, abundant energy will make the human body into a state most suitable for this environment. Some diseases that might lead to a decline in human physical function will gradually self-heal in an abundant energy environment; those without diseases will also have stronger self-healing ability, exercise ability will also rise significantly, and even have the talent to control energy."
"The talent to control energy? Isn't that the same as the God race?"
"You can understand it this way." Schiller nodded and said, "Before, there were no such organs in the human body; whether it was the brain or limbs, there was no way to feel the existence of energy. But because the cosmic energy level rose, the cosmic environment changed, and the body tending towards perfect evolution will automatically supplement this function to adapt to the new environment."
"Then won't we all be magicians in the future?"
"That's not necessarily true. Before evolving, didn't some people jump higher and run faster than others? In general, it still depends on talent. People with good talent, after certain training, can use energy like a mage; those with poor talent can only roughly feel the existence of energy."
Wanda nodded, indicating she understood. But soon he said: "But in that case, won't the upper and lower limits of humans be further widened?"
"No." Schiller said, "Objectively speaking, it will actually shrink. The gap between the original ordinary people and you shouldn't need to be talked about, but now, the vast majority of ordinary people can feel energy, a part of ordinary people can use energy, and a very small number of ordinary people can become powerful superhumans like you. This means the lower limit of humans is raised, and with the upper limit unchanged, the gap is narrowed."
"Also." Then Wanda suddenly said with some surprise, "You said all humans can feel energy fluctuations, then won't they be able to feel the explosion of mutant abilities and dodge in advance?"
"That's right, I am here to tell you this good news. In Nevada, just now, a seven-year-old mutant welcomed his ability explosion, and it was in a crowded shopping mall. But this time only three people were slightly injured, and everyone else ran away before his ability exploded."
Wanda breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said: "That's good. The tragedy of the past should not happen again."
"And, those three people who were slightly injured had already recovered on the way to the hospital. One twisted his foot, and it didn't hurt after about three minutes; one was scratched on the shoulder and face when running away and hitting a clothes rack, and healed within about five minutes; the other was more unfortunate, he was in the elevator when the incident happened, the energy explosion affected the elevator operation, and he fell from the sixth floor to the first floor, breaking two ribs. After going to the hospital for fracture fixation, it grew back within about two hours."
"My God." Wanda couldn't help but exclaim, "This self-healing ability is too powerful, right? Probably stronger than Spider-Man?"
"Currently, all countries are conducting specific data tests, but the situation is more optimistic than we imagined. Now the human body can not only automatically adjust to the best state, possess not bad external injury self-healing ability, but also significantly enhance anti-strike ability. If an ordinary person falls from the sixth floor to the first floor, they won't just break two ribs."
"That's great!" Wanda cheered happily, "Small injuries don't need to go to the hospital, and big injuries won't be fatal. In the future, the emergency department will never be overcrowded again."
"Also, human lifespan has also been significantly improved. Currently, the research results given by Dr. Connors show that the expected lifespan has increased to about 230 years. The reproductive period remains unchanged, but the prime period is extended to 200 years. However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the fertility rate will drop significantly, and it will probably gradually drop to about one-third of the current fertility rate in the next 200 years."
"Then the human population will decrease a lot." Strange calculated and said, "In a few hundred years, there will only be one-third of the population left on Earth. This is not very good."
"But the quality has risen significantly." Schiller spread his hands and said, "The cosmic law is like this, there is no way to have both. And although it is a decline compared to before, it is still much higher than Asgard..."
"You really know how to compare." Strange couldn't help but say.
"Then can human physical fitness eventually reach the level of the three great empires?" Wanda asked, "We should be stronger than them, otherwise we are weaker than them, and there are fewer people than them..."
"Now we are weaker than them, and there are fewer people than them." Schiller said, "In front of the hundreds of billions of people of the three great empires, no matter how many Earth people there are, it's useless. Instead of fighting for quantity, it's better to fight for quality. Don't forget, as human lifespan rises, we will also have more time to learn and inherit, which is the advantage of humans."
Wanda calculated and said: "If it is still mature at 20, then humans will have at least 180 years of prime period. This is almost four or five times the original. Our learning time can be extended by at least double, if brain cell activity also rises, then learning efficiency will also rise, perhaps we can use this double time to learn two times more knowledge. After the learning period ends, there are at least 100 years left to contribute to society. Human technological development is just around the corner."
"Exactly." Schiller said, "In addition to the original scientific research system, now humans have the ability to perceive and manipulate energy, and can also conduct magic learning. Even if not everyone has good talent, because lifespan is extended and learning efficiency rises, the final average level of everyone will not be very low. Compared with other races, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is a magician."
"When do you plan to announce this news?" Strange said impatiently, "All doctors, nurses, and patient families are asking me, and the hospital is in a mess. Instead of hiding it like this, it's better to explain it to the public as soon as possible."
"The World Tree has only been reborn for a few days, there is no need to be so anxious, the wording still needs to be thought about for a while." Schiller was not in a hurry, he said, "Your most urgent task now is not to do surgery, but to quickly put the enrollment of the magic academy on the right track. If I'm not mistaken, they will come to find you soon."
"Strange! Stephen Strange! Where is our respected Supreme Sorcerer?!" Nick's loud voice rang out in the corridor. He pushed the door open with a bang, saw Strange standing in the corner and said, "What are you still doing here? Quick, the special plane to Massachusetts has been arranged, let's go."
Strange was speechless, but he still insisted on arranging the matter of the patient this morning, and then left with Nick.
Wanda followed behind Schiller, he obviously had many questions to ask. But when Schiller returned to the office, there were already others waiting for him.
"It's me, Doctor." Peter popped out from behind the door. Gwen sat on the sofa next to her helplessly.
Schiller was not frightened by him, but still knocked on his head. Peter touched his head and walked in, Gwen revealed an apologetic smile. The two of them sat on the sofa together.
"Today is very unusual," Gwen said, "I feel a bit strange, how about you?"
"Yes, ma'am, you should indeed have this feeling." Schiller sat behind the desk, took out a notebook, and then asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
"I can only describe my feelings to you. In short, I woke up and the world changed. When Peter was making breakfast in the kitchen, I suddenly found that I could feel heat—I don't mean I was hot, but I could feel the pot emitting heat, and could clearly feel the range and degree of the heat."
"Hmm, what else?"
"The sky is a bit cloudy today, but I can still feel the existence of ultraviolet rays, or something else, maybe the sun's energy? This gave me an urge, making me want to control this energy."
"Did you try it?"
"I tried it a little bit, and scared Peter to death." Gwen glanced at Peter and said.
Peter immediately put on a bitter face and said: "Doctor, you don't know, I went back to the bedroom after making breakfast and found a huge fireball in her hand! I was scared to death!"
Schiller and Wanda laughed, they could fully imagine how terrified Peter was at that time.
"Can you perform for me, ma'am?"
"I'm afraid not. After I tried it, I found it difficult to control, and I was very tired after finishing it. I only asked for a day off and didn't go to work."
"What kind of tired is it?"
"A bit like running a long-distance race, my whole body is a bit sore, my breathing is rapid, my legs are a bit soft, and my spirit is a bit listless. I tried it after 7 o'clock in the morning and slept until now."
Schiller recorded these situations truthfully, and then said: "As far as I know, you should be considered to have good talent. Being able to try to control it the first time you feel energy is not something ordinary people can do. Is there anything else?"
"I was starving to death when I woke up," Gwen said, "I realized how Peter felt when he first became Spider-Man. I couldn't wait to lie on the ground and gnaw on the table leg. Fortunately, Peter ran downstairs and bought me a four-person pizza, and I felt better after eating it."
Schiller's expression gradually became serious, and he said: "After cell activity rises, the energy circulation speed in the body will also become faster, which may require more heat intake. This point is indeed worth noting."
"But I think this should only be temporary." Gwen said, "I feel much better after eating. Then I found that my physical recovery speed is also faster than before. Also, I feel that my mental state is much better, I can concentrate faster, my thinking speed has become faster, and I don't feel tired."
Schiller recorded all of Gwen's symptoms, and then said to them: "This is your mental assessment report, you can take these things to Dr. Connors, they will give you a comprehensive check. The specific situation should have an official notice before tomorrow morning, remember to pay attention to official news in time."
