Can't Die
"Great Commander, I've heard that Earth civilization also has other vassal races." As the new Great Commander of the Crimson Flame Civilization was reminiscing, a voice sounded from behind him.
Upon hearing this voice, the new leader didn't move his four legs, but instead turned his head 180 degrees to look at the source of the voice. "It's A Mo Sang, you don't blame me for submitting to Earth's civilization?"
"Great Commander, what are you saying? It's a matter of necessity. Even without you, Earth's civilization would have allowed someone else to take over. It's all the same. I've figured it out. Losers should have the awareness of losers," A Mo Sang said.
Upon hearing this, the new Great Commander of the Crimson Flame Civilization turned his head back and continued to look at the fleet of warships slowly traversing space, saying, "The Earth Civilization does indeed have several vassal races, and the one we previously thought was their main life form is one of them."
The Great Commander had always believed that the Dog-Headed People were the main life form of Earth's civilization until he had a video call with Yue Yuan, at which point he realized that this was not the case.
Those life forms, slightly shorter than Dog-Headed People, are the dominant life forms of Earth's civilization. Actually, when the new Great Commander first saw Yue Yuan, he thought the Dog-Headed People were more attractive, but he didn't dare say it.
The new Great Commander's wish was indeed fulfilled, and his fears did not materialize, because after Yue Yuan reunited with the main body of Human Civilization, he made a series of arrangements for them.
There were no human experiments or massacres of their lives. Humanity promised them the freedom to develop. Apart from armed forces, social and technological development continued to operate according to the original system of the Crimson Flame Civilization, without human interference. However, research results had to be reported to humanity.
At the same time, humanity also gave scientists from the Crimson Flame Civilization the opportunity to be rated as extraterrestrial academicians of the Human Academy of Sciences, provided that they made significant contributions to the development of science and technology.
It can be said that, apart from military power, humanity has given the Crimson Flame Civilization a great deal of freedom to develop.
Of course, all resource input to the Crimson Flame Civilization 'Residential Spaceship Cluster is still controlled by humans, since the source of these resources is human-developed Strong Artificial Intelligence.
Although they were very free, as Sentient Life, the new leader of the Crimson Flame Civilization and other high-level leaders knew that they had become a completely subservient civilization to humanity.
Yue Yuan didn't bother with any pretense of politeness. After the main body of Human Civilization was awakened from its slumber, he arranged for all the high-ranking officials and key personnel of the Crimson Flame Civilization to be Mind Imprint.
As for the common people of the Crimson Flame Civilization, they are allowed to live freely within the civilization's society. After all, there are simply too many individuals in the Crimson Flame Civilization to Mind Imprint on them all.
However, this does not affect human control over them. They use their own people to manage themselves, and their superiors are loyal to humans. That's all.
As for their internal education, those administrators who are loyal to humanity will take care of it themselves. They will instill in their people the idea that humanity is their Main Civilization through generations of education. Over time, this idea will become deeply ingrained and eventually become taken for granted.
Just like the Dog-Headed People and Kuntai People nowadays.
Time passed day by day.
On this day, the Lyra welcomed a scientist who had awakened from a human -Residential Spaceship. She was gently shaking a transparent container the size of a can in her hand and murmured, "Chief, is this the Life Elixir that the Crimson Flame Civilization has modified for applicability?"
"Chief" is naturally the title used to address Yue Yuan.
"Well, before setting sail, I had the scientific team of the Crimson Flame Civilization make adaptations based on our human genes. I didn't expect them to actually succeed. There are no problems with the data. However, before large-scale popularization, it is still necessary for you to test it yourself to be on the safe side. How is it? You haven't missed anything after sleeping for hundreds of years, have you?" Yue Yuan turned to look at the female Life Science with a smile on his face.
The two were currently in the memory warehouse of the Lyra, a warehouse specifically for storing valuable items, including the Life Elixir that had been traded from the Crimson Flame Civilization.
Looking around, you can see canisters of azure liquid stored in a low-temperature environment on the warehouse walls.
"The chief doesn't need to worry about that. At most, we can determine the authenticity of this Life Elixir within a year." The female scientist smiled as she put the Life Elixir back into the container on the warehouse wall. Then, the automated system absorbed the agent and released cryogenic liquid to freeze it at the most suitable storage temperature.
After that, the female scientist pressed a button on her clothes to cancel the Magnetic Force adsorption system. Then, she lightly touched the floor with her toes to make herself float up slowly. At the same time, she looked at the instructions on each storage item on the warehouse wall and said, "It seems that my Hometown is not going to die this time."
With a sigh that sounded like both a lament and a sigh, she paused and then said, "If these indicators are true, then we probably won't have to worry about lifespan for a long time. This long lifespan is practically as long as the heavens."
Yue Yuan stood on the bottom and looked up at the female scientist floating upward slowly, feeling a little emotional in his heart. At the first sight of her, Yue Yuan felt that she was much more mature than before.
It's the outward maturity that's apparent, probably from waking up quite a bit during this period of collective human hibernation. I used to look like I was nineteen or twenty, but now I look almost thirty. And with my increased physical age, my voice isn't as clear as it used to be.
"The idea of living as long as the heavens is just nonsense. In the grand scheme of things, these Life Elixir can only grant us humans a fleeting moment of lifespan," Yue Yuan said slowly.
He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment as if organizing his thoughts, and then spoke again after a while, "By the way, Academician Shi, regarding the Life Elixir, I've discovered that I have some problems with my body."
Academician Shi, who is in the Life Science and is also a student of Yi Kai, is naturally a person of high standing. She is Shi Lifen.
Upon hearing Yue Yuan's words, Shi Lifen stopped and landed back on the floor.
"What's the problem?" she asked, looking puzzled, while also staring intently at Yue Yuan.
"Huh!"
Just as Yue Yuan was about to speak about the fact that he seemed not to be aging, he heard Shi Lifen exclaim "Eh?" and then say with a puzzled and somewhat nervous expression, "Could it be that there are some side effects? That shouldn't be the case. We've never found any precedent for side effects with those three Life Elixir. Could it be the Red Mist that the Chief inhaled before? That shouldn't be the case either. Professor Lu didn't seem to have any problems."
The Professor Lu she mentioned was Lu Xiaofen, who, besides Yue Yuan, was the only person who inhaled that Red Mist from back then.
"The problem I'm referring to isn't any side effects, but rather the fact that even after the medication seems to have reached its effective period, I haven't shown any signs of aging."
Seeing that Shi Lifen seemed to have misunderstood, Yue Yuan didn't keep her in suspense any longer and quickly recounted how he discovered something strange about his body during the war with the Crimson Flame Civilization, and his speculations about it.
After hearing Yue Yuan's words, Shi Lifen pondered for a long time before speaking, "Could it be that our technological level was too weak back then, and our detection was incomplete?"
She spoke as if to herself, then paused, looked at Yue Yuan, and asked, "Chief, what are your own thoughts on this?"
"Naturally, I'll first go to your Academy of Life Sciences for a check-up to see if there are any new discoveries. If not, I'll stay awake and see when I change. During this process, I think the Academy of Life Sciences should also conduct a series of tests on me," Yue Yuan said.
Shi Lifen nodded. "Of course, the Academy of Sciences needs this data. If the facts are as the Director-General says, then we may need to reassess the Red Mist. It seems we need to give the Director-General a comprehensive test first, and then, depending on the situation, we may need to set up a new research team to follow up on it."
"Okay, let's proceed according to the research procedures," Yue Yuan said.
Yue Yuan has always been very proactive in researching himself, mainly because he also wants to understand the true effects of the Red Mist from back then.
