Chapter 144 143.Fountain of Life
The man who was taking care of Chen's father was startled when he saw the sudden appearance of Chen Dioshan. He took a deep look at Chen Dioshan and Chen's father on the bed, but didn't say much, just silently stepped aside.
"hehe……"
On the white sheets, Father Chen's voice sounded a little hoarse, as if he might die at any time, but he smiled happily, "I knew I would see you again one day..."
"Father, why didn't I see you preparing for quantum immortality?"
Chen Shibo looked around, but didn't see any equipment for transmitting consciousness into the Yuan Universe.
"Tired of it."
Father Chen chuckled lightly, "Illusion will always be illusion, and quantum immortality is just a long dream. Four hundred years of life is long enough. I can live such a wonderful life, so what should I miss? "
Chen Shibo's expression changed when he heard this.
Seeing the look in Chen's father's eyes, he suddenly realized that his father had planned to choose death.
"Perhaps it won't be long before 3D printed human bodies can be produced."
Chen Shibo couldn't help but say one more thing, "I'm temporarily inhabiting the Yuan Universe, and maybe one or two hundred years later, I can download my consciousness back from the Yuan Universe."
"That's not necessary."
Father Chen shook his head, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, "When I said this, too many people left me, Xiao You, your mother, and my dozen wives, more than thirty children... There is nothing left in this world that I can miss..."
Chen Shibo nodded. The quantum immortality project had only been around for more than fifty years, which meant that the quantum immortality project had not yet been launched when these people died, so their death was considered true death.
Seeing that Chen Shibo did not continue to speak, Father Chen looked at the man with a majestic expression on the side with some worry, "Chen Ca, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you call me uncle?"
The man looked at Chen Shibo and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he moved his lips and shouted stiffly at Chen Shibo.
"uncle……"
Chen Zuoshan nodded and said calmly, "Who is your father?"
"My father is Chen Zhibo."
The majestic man lowered his head slightly and replied.
"It turns out he is Lao Ba's son."
Chen Shibo narrowed his eyes. The Lao Ba here was the eighth child born to the Chen father and his son, and the Chen Cai in front of him was Lao Ba's son, Chen Shibo's nephew.
"How is your father now?"
Chen Shibo asked while recalling Chen Zhibo's appearance as a child.
"My father... died a hundred years ago."
Chen Ca shook his head, "He only lived two hundred and forty years old."
Chen Shibo nodded.
"Little Flash."
When Father Chen saw the look in Chen Shibo's eyes, he immediately gave a wry smile and slowly took his hand, "Xiao Shan... I know your ambition is not in power, and it doesn't matter if I die, but the only thing you can't worry about is ours." Family, my father has never asked you for anything in his life. Now I beg you, can you help my father take care of the current Chen family? Even if someone in the Chen family offends you, don't...don't..."
Hearing these words, Chen Cai suddenly looked confused. He looked at Chen's father who was gasping for breath on the bed, and then at Chen Zhongshan who looked indifferent. He really couldn't tell what the two men were selling in the gourd. medicine.
It's okay if he has an uncle-like elder out of thin air, but he has clearly decided to become the next president, so why do he still need this person in front of him to take care of the Chen family?
Seeing Chen's father's earnest eyes and his increasingly clear face, Chen Shibo nodded slowly, "Okay."
"Ha, then I'll be relieved!"
Chen's father suddenly beamed with joy, such a joy that even Chen Cai was a little surprised. From the time he could remember, he had never seen his grandfather smile so kindly and happily in his two hundred years of life.
"Don't worry! Don't worry..."
As Father Chen murmured, his eyes quickly went blank. At the same time, various life-support facilities nearby also sounded alarms.
By the end, a long straight line had been drawn out from the pattern representing brain waves.
Chen She ended his life with brain cell apoptosis.
"grandfather!"
Chen Ca closed his eyes in pain and slowly knelt down in front of the bed.
After about a few minutes, a few footsteps slowly approached, and they immediately helped him up from the ground.
"Mr. Chen Ca, please forgive me."
Several doctors supported him and helped him to a chair nearby.
But it was only then that Chen Cai was suddenly startled. He quickly looked around the room, but he never saw the figure just now.
"Where are the people?"
Chen Ca stood up suddenly, grabbed the doctor beside him and asked, "Where is the man next to my father just now?"
"who?"
Several doctors were a little confused when they heard this. They looked around in confusion, "From beginning to end, are you the only one in front of Mr. President's bed?"
Hearing these words, Chen Ca was shocked and showed an incredible expression.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Chen Ca said, "Come in." The AI intelligence in the room immediately opened the door and let people outside come in.
There were also several senior federal officials and core members of the Chen family outside the door. When they saw Chen She lying dead on the bed, they all looked at each other, squeezed out a few tears, and pretended to cry. A few times.
Then, one of them immediately stood up and said to Chen Cai, "Uncle, now that our ancestor has passed away, is it time to prepare for a memorial service? At the same time, announce to the federation that you will succeed the new president?"
"Not urgent."
Chen Ca shook his head, "Did you see a person enter this room when you were outside just now?"
"I saw it."
Several people looked at each other, and then another person replied, "I saw a man who looked very similar to my ancestor walking in before. By the way, why isn't he here?"
When Chen Cai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand again, "Lilith, help me search for information across the federation. I want all the information about the man just now!"
Suddenly, a woman with white light all over her body, like an elf, appeared in front of everyone out of thin air, "I'm sorry, Mr. Acting President, who is the man you are referring to?"
"That's the one who was talking to Mr. President just now."
Chen Cai answered immediately.
"Sorry, this person is not found in the database."
The intelligent life called Lilith immediately released the surveillance, but saw only a black figure in the surveillance. This figure walked in from the outside and talked with Chen She for a long time, but every time he spoke, his voice also changed. Automatically turned into noise.
This scene, as if this person exists between reality and illusion, is extremely weird. "All my sensors cannot collect any information about this person."
"hiss……"
Seeing this scene, not only Chen Cai, but also the remaining senior executives were frightened, "Impossible, Lilith is the most powerful intelligent life in the world, how could it not be possible to collect information on even one living person?" ?”
"There's only one possibility."
At this time, Chen Cai gradually calmed down. He looked at the strange images that were playing in front of him with a serious expression, "This person is a psionic person..."
"Psychic?"
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
The name Psyker shocked everyone.
The so-called psychics are a group of superhuman beings who have gradually appeared in this world in the past three hundred years.
These people have different abilities. Some can manipulate viruses at will, some can turn their blood into various deadly weapons, some can transform into succubi, and some can rely on their super high Intelligence wins a thousand miles...
This is an extremely secretive group of people. Most of them have been hidden among the general population throughout their lives. Only a few people have been gradually discovered by the federal government because they use their abilities in a too high-profile way.
In order to study these people, the Federation secretly began to arrest this group of people and carried out cruel and abnormal experiments on them. However, until the end, it could not find the reason why this group of people was different from ordinary people.
However, on the one hand, these people use psychic powers to make profits for themselves, and on the other hand, the federation wants to capture these people for their own use. This conflict of interests eventually led to a gap and hatred between the psykers and the federal government.
It's a pity that the chance of psykers being born is too small, more than one in a million. The list of psykers discovered by the Federation in the past three hundred years is only tens of thousands, and most of them are still lurking in the corners of the Federation.
And now, a psychic was born in the Chen family?
"Uncle, who is that psychic?"
The senior official from before suddenly became a little excited, "Is it true that a psyker was born in our Chen family?"
"I-I don't know."
Chen Cai was a little confused when he heard this, but then he suddenly thought of something, "I only remember that grandpa called him Xiaoshan. He is my father's brother! Lilith, use this clue to check the other party's information!"
"clear."
Lilith closed her eyes again after hearing this, and then opened them again, "Sorry, you don't have enough authority."
"What!"
This time, not only Chen Cai, but also all the Chen family members in the room exclaimed.
"Did you make a mistake?"
A member of the Chen family suddenly became anxious, "You see clearly, the ancestor is now dead, and the highest authority in charge of the entire federation will be automatically transferred. Now the authority should have been transferred to the heir, Brother Chen, which means that only Brother Chen in the entire federation is S-level. , you should have the highest authority!"
"Sorry, that's not the case."
However, Lilith still maintained a smiling expression, "According to my database, federal management authority is divided into seven levels: S/A/B/C/D/E/F. Currently, Mr. Chen Cai is in S-level, but there is a hidden level above S-level, called SSS level. Mr. Chen Cai does not have access rights to the current S-level."
"How, how could this happen?"
The moment they heard this sentence, everyone was stunned.
Although Chen Cai was deeply shocked when he heard this, he suddenly recalled the meaningful look in Mr. Chen She's eyes before he died, so he asked again, "Then how do you obtain SSS-level permissions? How many people have it?"
"The SSS level is a hidden level of authority. The authority is essentially the same as the S level. They both have the highest command authority of the federation and are also unique. The only difference is that when the S level and SSS level orders conflict, the entire federation will unconditionally execute the SSS orders. And ignore the S-class."
Lilith immediately replied, "At the same time, the SSS class cannot be inherited or transferred. Only one person has owned the entire federation since its creation, and it will only be owned by one person in the future."
"That is to say..."
Hearing this sentence, everyone's expressions became even more ugly, "The ancestor was never the person with the highest authority in the federation?"
"I'm afraid that's true."
Chen Cai also showed a complicated expression when he heard this. At this moment, he could finally understand why his grandfather told him to take care of the Chen family before he died.
It turns out that from beginning to end, Grandpa was not the one with the highest authority in the Federation. The reason why he was able to stand in that position was just because the other party disdained rights...
…
Not to mention the disappointment that everyone in the Chen family felt after learning the truth, Chen Shibo had already left the ancestral home and left without any regrets.
He didn't belong to this world in the first place, so naturally he wouldn't have any nostalgia for the so-called Chen family. The only person he was familiar with was his cheap father in this body.
Now, is he even dead?
Chen Shibo shook his head. He closed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen's father who gradually turned into a cocoon of souls in the imaginary space. He suddenly threw it with one hand.
Immediately, Father Chen's soul was kicked out of the imaginary space and merged into Terra's fountain of life.
Since this cheap father wants to be freed, let him be completely freed.
As early as when Chen Shibo's imaginary space covered most of Terra, he had already sensed the fountain of life hidden deep in the earth's core.
In the past, the Shinra Corporation exploited this substance aggressively, causing the plant area of Terra to wither. The Fountain of Life was already damaged at that time. But now, three hundred years later, every time someone dies, the other person's soul will be captured by the imaginary space. , naturally, the fountain of life has become more exhausted.
Now, deep in the earth's core throughout Terra, the fountain of life that was once as strong as a gurgling river has dried up a lot, as if it has entered a dry season.
Many years ago, Chen Shibo could actually completely swallow up the entire Fountain of Life, but that end was actually foreseeable.
The fountain of life is the fountain of human souls. Once the planet loses the fountain of life, what will be the consequences?
The answer is self-evident.
Fortunately, Chen Shibo discovered that not only Terra, but also Luna, Mars, Europa and other planets also have fountains of life, but they do not exist on Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and other planets. I don’t know. Are the planets caused by human migration gradually producing springs of life, or do these planets themselves have springs of life, which enables human beings to migrate?
Chen Shibo didn't know, he only knew that these springs of life were very precious, and it was better not to absorb them until everything was clear.
After all, humans have not left the solar system so far. Even if they want to absorb it, they have to wait until humans can completely leave the solar system.
