Chapter 9: The Second Great Evolution Era
"First Great Evolution Era?" Bu Fan heard Bu Yan's words and softly repeated a sentence, as if thinking about something.
"Not bad, the first Great Evolution Era! However, in the past 300 years, humanity has already dug up its potential to an extreme, because the evolutionary path brought about by the changes in the heavens and the earth has slowly come to an end. The First Great Evolution Era is about to come to a close!"
"On the contrary, the evolution of yao beasts and zombies has not stopped, but instead, a different kind of geyser has appeared in recent years! As time goes on, the probability of intelligent yao beasts and zombies appearing will become greater and greater, and the survival challenges faced by humans will become increasingly difficult!"
"So, for hundreds of years, the Federation has been searching for an opportunity to trigger a second evolution in humans, in order to counter and even completely eliminate the threats of zombies and demonic beasts!"
"Could the Jianghu be the key to promoting a second Great Evolution?" Bu Fan thought of the words Bu Yan had told him before, and boldly guessed.
Bù yān chī yì de kàn le bù fán yī yǎn, tā hū rán jiān yǒu xiē gǎo bù dǒng le, zì jǐ zhè ge gē gē zěn me hū rán jiān biàn de cōng míng le.
However, becoming smarter is also a good thing. She nodded lightly and said "What you said can't be considered wrong! It's just that it's not as simple as you think. According to the information I've obtained, Jianghu and Shengtang are indeed technological achievements of the Federal Government's research. Moreover, it's said that this contains the key to unlocking humanity's second great evolutionary era. However, this is an unproven statement. All I can say is that this is your opportunity!
Bu Fan didn't respond, but instead lowered his head and fell into deep contemplation, pondering the meaning behind Bu Yan's words.
In fact, compared with ordinary cigarettes, the extraordinary cigarette that has crossed over from modern society has an unexpected advantage that no one can imagine.
Because modern society's online literature is truly a fantasy world, whether it's reasonable or unreasonable, as long as it's something humans can imagine, there are scenes that have been covered in modern online literature.
Maybe there are many absurd things inside, but they can give people a direction for thinking and speculation, just like now.
If Jianghu and Shengtang are indeed a catalyst for the second great evolution of humanity launched by the federal government, then what is this catalyst?
Moreover, this also involves the cultural background settings of ancient Eastern and Western cultures. Connecting to the previous exam questions given by Xue Mei'er and Xia Xiao-xue to Bu Fan, combined with the current state of the post-apocalyptic society, Bu Fan's mind began to constantly deduce.
Suddenly, a gleam of inspiration flashed through Bofan's mind, and he thought of an incredible possibility.
"Bu Yan, I'm asking you, what do you usually teach at the Federal Academy? Do you teach any specific qigong methods, like the kind that circulates spiritual energy inside the body as depicted in martial arts novels?" Bu Fan suddenly raised his head and asked in a low voice.
Bu Yan looked at Bu Fan with a puzzled expression, seemingly unable to understand why he had suddenly asked this question.
However, she calmly replied, "No, what you said is too unrealistic. But based on the breathing techniques of ancient Eastern internal martial arts, there is a guiding technique that can not only strengthen the body and improve physical fitness but also keep the brain clear at all times while increasing the amount of hetero elements in the body!"
"You wouldn't say that the one who initiated the second Great Evolution Era is actually a martial artist with a cultivation technique, would you?" Bu Yan suddenly stood up and asked Bu Fan in surprise.
"Not bad, if I'm not mistaken, the key to unlocking the second great evolution of humanity that the federal government wants to promote is actually the kung fu in the game!"
Bo Fan didn't say this without reason, first of all, this speculation comes from some internet knowledge in Bo Fan's mind.
In many online games, the greatest achievement brought about by such virtual means is that some people bring the abilities they have acquired in the game back to reality, thereby producing their own evolution.
Of course, this statement is nonsense in modern society, but converted to the current post-apocalyptic society that Stephon is in, this ability is no longer nonsense.
The technology of virtual reality doesn't need to be said much, just looking at the development of Tiangong over the past few decades is enough to know that it has become an extremely mature technology, and what needs to be considered now is the modern environment.
After the end of the world, the environment of heaven and earth changed, and there were many mysterious elements in the air. These elements also accelerated the evolution of biological organisms on Earth at an incredible speed. In a sense, these elements are the spiritual energy in fantasy.
With spiritual energy, there is the capital for evolution. What's needed next is a method to use this evolutionary capital, which is the gongfa in traditional practices.
Bo Fan can boldly speculate that perhaps some perspectives in traditional culture have pointed out the direction of human evolution to the federal government.
Due to the differences in Eastern and Western cultures in ancient times, the evolutionary paths imagined by the two regions were also vastly different. As a result, the federal government eventually released two games: Jianghu, set against the backdrop of ancient Eastern culture, and Sanctuary, set against the backdrop of ancient Western culture.
As for why use games for promotion, what else is there that's easier for people to accept than games?
Moreover, if the survivors in the base are really obsessed with these two games, they can not only fully understand the skills inside, but also reduce people's activity intensity and lower the difficulty of managing the base.
Even if the federal government were to add deeper settings to the game, such as military formations and mythical creatures, humans would no longer be exercising at all times during the game.
Even if it's just a raise in consciousness, for humanity's overall strength, that will still be a huge progress.
If this is really an evolutionary plan formulated by the federal government, then all I can say is that the person who came up with this plan must be a genius.
On the other side, just as Bù Fán's mind was racing, his brother Bù Yān looked at him with a deep sense of incomprehension.
To be honest, the second key to unlock human evolution is actually the concept of "gong fa" in games, which Bu Yan had known for a long time.
But this was what she and a group of geniuses from the Academy had slowly deduced after compiling countless confidential materials.
And this also includes some information intentionally leaked by the federal government so that they won't be like headless flies flying around.
And now, it's only been a short while, but Bu Fan has already inferred the true purpose behind Jiang Hu. Could it be that this brother of his is actually an unconventional genius?
Just as Bu Yan and Bu Fan were each thinking their own thoughts, a "knock knock" sound came from the door.
Bu Fan raised his head to take a look, and saw that at the door stood a beautiful woman. Perhaps her beauty was not as stunning as Bu Yan's, but the skin on her face outside of her clothes made people gaze at her in a daze.
"What's wrong? Han Fei, is something the matter?" Bu Yan asked softly, rushing towards the woman at the door.
"Hey, Sister Yan, it's time for dinner. Also, Yu Rong sister said that after dinner, there is a meeting to be held, so she asked me to come down and call you guys up!" Ji Huanfei seemed to be unable to withstand Bo Fan's scorching gaze, her delicate little face flushing with a hint of redness as she spoke. After finishing, she turned around and ran off like a startled rabbit.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet the others in the villa!" Bù Yān said coldly, casting a faint glance at Bù Fán.
Bu Fan nodded and followed Bu Yan out!
