————————————————————————
David. Charles devoted most of his life to biology. When he was 7 years old, he saw the floating spots under the microscope from the first sight. Trapped in this, at the age of 15, he was thinking hard in the gene sequence, at the age of 30, he was rampaging between cells, and at the age of 40, he was brilliant in the field of biology.
Today, scholars from all over the world gather in this lecture theater just to listen to a class taught by David. I spent several months blowing with my colleagues in the laboratory.
David slowly closed his notes. After a moment of silence, there was thunderous applause, and the shaking classroom chairs rattled. To the students in the audience, this was a feast of biology. In David's eyes, this is at most just a boring recitation, annoying lights, and boring words. This kind of applause is meaningless ten thousand times. David didn't say thank you, but walked out slowly with his back bent. This noisy classroom
Fifteen years ago, the 40-year-old David was already a rising star in the field of biology. He seemed omnipotent and conquered the criticisms of countless seniors in the industry. Before, the blind spot of the theory of evolution, a demon standing in front of ancient and modern scholars, a mystery without an answer. . . The origin of human beings, the blank period of 1.5 million years seems to be a terrible black hole, which cannot be entered or escaped.
As usual, David walked into the quiet cafe at 3 pm and ordered a cup of coffee in the most inconspicuous corner. The sunlight through the frosted glass diffused on the table and mixed with the aroma of the coffee , David likes to think in such a hazy atmosphere. Next week will be the birthday of his disappointing son, but David doesn't want to spend any more time on it. In his eyes, anything other than academics is useless.
The coffee here is very good, a bit bitter, but every sip can leave a strong aroma, without effort to aftertaste, refreshing enough. David took a sip, licked his lips, and opened the notebook that had been with him for many years. The fluffy leather wrapped the yellowed pages, and the scribbled words recorded David's nearly 15-year answer to the origin of human beings. Crazy pursuit, from pride to confusion to almost despair. Now that he is old, his brain, which has been spinning for more than 50 years, is overwhelmed, and David knows that in just a few more years, his genius mind will be dimmed, and he will never touch the secret that no one has ever set foot.
David is unwilling to give up, only the answer to the origin of human beings is worthy of his glorious life, otherwise, he is just the second Darwin, another failed coward.
The day was getting late, another fruitless afternoon, David put away his notes in frustration, and was about to get up, when a woman sat in front of David,
She claims to be a student of Dr. C, a professor of biology. Of course, David has never heard of Dr. C, but during the conversation with the girl, David found that many of the views of this professor C are very bold. Vaguely, he seems to have grasped a key to unlock the treasure. Just as the conversation was over, the girl handed David a letter. In the letter, Dr. C claimed that he had some ideas about the origin of human beings and hoped to communicate with David, and David naturally agreed happily
...
...
Just when David was looking forward to meeting with Professor C, an unmarked military helicopter flew to a no-fly area in the Indian Ocean. The deafening bang was accompanied by the churning sea water, and a piece of helipad rose from the sea. The helicopter landed slowly, and Dr. C got off the plane. More than a dozen task force members armed with guns and ammunition quickly surrounded the unarmed and hunchbacked uncle. After some instrument testing, the soldiers escorted Dr. Cai into this huge underwater fortress.
3,500 meters below the surface of the water, the 1.5-meter-thick titanium-rich metal bears enough pressure to destroy any hope. There is no light, no sound, and more than 400 people work in this indestructible underwater prison, just for one piece thing, looking at an old man.
As the name suggests, this person is very old, beyond anyone's imagination. In his nearly endless life, the old man had never been so excited. In the past 55 years, the old man has been in a state of excitement all the time, sometimes laughing wildly, sometimes crying, pulling off his scabbed long hair one by one, suddenly jumping up and throwing himself on the floor, or several times in a row. Zhou slammed into the steel wall crazily, his eyes were bloodshot with restless sleep, and his long-term near-masochistic behavior only left light bruises on his body.
Dr. C walked through the corridors full of monitors and pressure sensors, and came to the deepest room in the basement. After a full-body scan, the door opened. His face was pretty, but he couldn't stop the excitement from his scarlet eyes. After discovering that Dr. Cq came in, the old man frantically used his hands and feet, crawled to the doctor's side, pointed to his right hand which was still steaming but not burnt, and said: Look, the skin is red and it hurts. After speaking, he laughed wildly, rolled all over the floor, hit the floor with his head crazily, tears and saliva splashed all over the floor.
Dr. C took out a watch, pointed to the shortest hour hand and said: There are still 24 hours, this hand turns twice.
The old man knelt up from the ground, took the watch tremblingly, stared at the dial and let out a beast-like cry, murmured in an incomprehensible language, his hair soaked in tears was tangled together, revealing the old man's face, Much like David Charles.
The sound of the old bus engine was covered by the heavy rain. The roads in the suburbs are always muddy in this weather. The 6-hour drive and the heavy rain did not affect David's full expectations. There was a voice telling Dave David, this conversation is the key to unlocking the secret of human origin. After the doorbell rang, it was Dr. C who opened the door. No one knew how he crossed half of the world to meet David in such a short period of time. Of course, no one would have thought that since the moment David was born 55 years ago, From the very beginning, he was approved as an extremely important containment item, numbered s-021.
David omitted all the politeness, and couldn't wait to start Dr. C's academic discussion. The conversation gradually became better, until Professor C expressed a point of view on the origin of human wisdom, David was shocked and speechless Come.
The evolution of organisms has no direction itself, accidents will become inevitable over a long period of time, and the surviving organisms will pass on the mutated genes to the next generation, and the survival of the fittest will form a vector line similar to evolution, but What if there is a guide that has been formed in the course of evolution, a finished product that has gone through a long evolution, with a huge brain and wisdom standing in front of the creatures at the evolutionary level. David's thinking seemed to explode, because if this is the case, there will be no fork in the road, and there will be no accidents. A guide will turn everything into an inevitable result, and all doubts will be solved. But another question arises, how did this wizard appear. David looked at Professor C for solutions.
Professor C did not explain, but asked David to make a choice, abandon his current life, and seek the ultimate answer to the origin of human beings, or, like all losers, bow his head and admit defeat on the road to knowledge. David did not have any doubts about this strange choice. The answer that he had been struggling with for a lifetime was in front of him. Naturally, he would not give up and chose the former.
Professor C led David to open a corner wooden door. In the center of the narrow room stood a strange old iron machine that resembled an armchair. The dial was inlaid on the back of the chair, which was full of rust. A few pointers trembled as if they were about to fall off. Professor C motioned for David to take off his clothes and sit on it. David did so with a hint of doubt. Professor C turned around and pulled a switch similar to the electric switch of the last century. , the dial turned slowly, faster and faster, shaking the whole machine as if it was about to fall apart. David wanted to stand up, but was pressed on the seat by an invisible pressure. The sound stopped, and the machine scattered all over the place, and David had disappeared.
....
....
David slowly opened his eyes. This is an unknown coast, the sun is dazzling, and there are huge plants growing sparsely around. Behind it are towering trees, whose leaves are enough to cover people tightly. David stood up in confusion, staring at the calm sea, stunned. After that, David walked along the coast for two full days. The flourishing angiosperms and the occasional grinning fish washed up on the shore made David have to admit that he was at a certain time 3 million years ago. And I won't feel hungry, thirsty, or even pain. After being attacked by a sickle crab hiding under the sand, David found that the sharp front claws could not pierce his skin.
Dr. C returned to the room where the old man was imprisoned. The old man was staring at his watch, at a loss. Seeing Dr. C walking in, the old man raised his right thumb that had just been bandaged and said: I have a broken bone. His eyes were full of helplessness and fear. Dr. C sat on the ground face to face with the old man and said: From now on, you will be in pain, sick, old, and dead. Now you can get a haircut, change your clothes, and go back to your home on Memphis Street. Your wife spent the remaining twenty or thirty years, and finally died in the care of the children. The old man listened, bowed his back, and tears and wailing were left between his fingers.
……
Loneliness is the most terrible punishment. David is sitting between the sea and the forest, surrounded by countless lives, and he really cannot communicate with him. He has been here for 3 months, and David has not taken a drop of water or slept. I felt it once, but there was no abnormality in my body. The loneliness and madness impacted David's fragile spirit, but it couldn't make him go crazy. That second of sitting on that strange machine. Five months later, David wept bitterly after a strong sea wind blew away a scarecrow he had built. Afterwards, he sat by the seaside, watching the sun rise and set. I don't know how long it took, maybe a month, maybe ten years, until he no longer regretted his choice, no longer hated that Professor C, and no longer thought about the answer to the origin of human beings.
One day, David was still sitting by the sea, and the thick sand that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time covered him. Shell, David opened his eyes and saw this hairy monkey, a trace of anger slowly appeared in his eyes, David stood up suddenly, shook off the dirt on his body, stared at the monkey with ecstasy on all fours , Xiong Yuan was taken aback, jumped to the side, and stared vigilantly at this strange monkey with only hair on its head. . .
A few days later, David followed the ape into the group of apes. At first, the group of apes was full of hostility towards this strange monkey, but they were quickly driven away by a roasted howler bird, and the oily meat was raging. Tasting the taste buds of the apes, David soon integrated into the group. The good times didn’t last long. In another huge cold snap, the life of the apes and half of the nearby continents was almost extinct. David spent a lonely 240 years alone. During this period, David used all methods to kill himself. Whether it was suffocation or roasting, it was useless and could only increase the pain. Gradually, the temperature warmed up, the cold snap passed, and life reappeared. After several years of trekking, he joined a colony of newborn Yumudi apes, and quickly became the leader with roast meat and invulnerable bodies. In this way, after an unknown period of time, David gradually learned the communication method of the ape group, and made the ape group grow stronger. Group after batch of old apes died, and more new apes were born. When David drilled wood to make fire, he didn't notice that in a corner not far away, a newborn ape was imitating the same behavior. knocking on the roots of the trees with a stick.
Gradually, more and more apes in the community began to learn to walk on two feet and break the hard shells with stones. It seemed that there was a hand pushing the habits of the apes in another direction. The instigator of all this has long forgotten that this is the answer he was looking for. . . In this way, David experienced countless earthquakes, cold currents, and volcanic eruptions. During a continental shelf shock, David fell into a huge crack. It was dark, quiet, and airless under the surface. He did not know how long it had passed. After countless years of vicissitudes, when David crawled out of the wound on the belly of a stranded whale, he finally saw the sun again, and at this time, there were already upright walking Homo sapiens all over the continent.
David has lost the meaning of life in endless time, sometimes he can be like a stone without thinking for hundreds of years, or violently conquering one tribe after another alone, he can watch the seedlings break through the ground without moving. It grows to the sky, or can walk in one direction until it is blocked by mountains. One day, David learned to forget. When he felt boring, it only took a few decades to clear most of the memories in his head. After that, he He smiled, tens of thousands of years had passed since the last time he laughed. Humans gradually dominated the whole earth. Their faces became flatter and their feet became wider. They walked out of caves and lived in huts, and the sticks in their hands gradually turned into sharp axes. David also has many names. After he was hit by a boulder and got up again, he was called Hercules, and after he built a triangular building for himself on a whim, he was called Narmer. After painting a few paintings and being called Da Vinci, he wrote another book more than 300 years later, when he was called Darwin.
Hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye in his eyes. On this day, he was lying on the corner of the street in ragged clothes, letting the rain wash over him, with wine bottles piled up around him, but he didn't feel drunk at all. The rain was suddenly cut off, and a pair of shoes came into his sight. He waved his hand to signal the man to go away, but the man did not respond. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a hunchback in front of him. When he was about to lower his head to see if there was any wine left, the words of the middle-aged man made his whole body tremble.
"Hi, David, first time meeting, no, for you, it's been a long time no see..."
David hasn't had any waves in tens of thousands of years. His eyes have changed, anger, pain, sadness, etc. seem to have been suppressed for millions of years. The emotions that have been suppressed for millions of years break through countless sealed memories in an instant, and rush out all at once, but David suddenly said: I can't speak.
David was taken to a submarine prison. The uncle ~IndoMTL.com~, also known as Professor C, told him about the foundation and the reasons why he experienced all this. At the beginning of the establishment of the foundation, there were several I don’t know when the rules drawn up must be followed. One is that on July 23, 1959, a homeless man was found in a block west of St. Mark’s Square in Venice, and he was placed in S-class containment measures. Two days later, a homeless man in County Down, Northern Ireland The nursery will give birth to a baby boy named David Charles, who will be monitored and protected for 55 years, and will do everything possible to block his contact with "homeless people". For 4 days, use containment item A-211 (that broken chair) on the target, and the turnaround time is 2.77 million years ago. At that time, the containment measures for homeless people will be lifted.
On that day, David learned that his life was a reincarnation. When he was 55 years old, he would inevitably be sent millions of years ago to be the guide who promoted the germination of human wisdom, and this also made him fall into a trap. In an unsolvable time paradox, it is impossible for him to die before the next person sits in that strange chair anyway.
Time has changed, and one day 55 years later, Dr. C gave David a watch. When the hour hand of the watch has passed two laps, the other self will go back to 3 million years ago and experience his millions of years. All the things he has experienced, he is the origin of human beings, and he is the answer to his lifelong pursuit. And now, everything doesn't matter anymore, David put on the clothes left by another himself a few days ago, and took the flight home. He used the 55 years in the submarine prison to forget 3 million memories, when he When he brought the cake and opened the door again, he seemed like a stubborn old man who had just gone out for a few days and came back home.
At this moment, the sun came in from the window and spread warmly on his body. David hugged his son, crying.
"Happy Birthday!"
