MTL - This is How the Heavens and the Worlds Come-Chapter 1 go home and die
"Advanced pancreatic cancer, one of the hardest types of cancer to detect, has less than five percent of the world's survival rates beyond five years. Cancer cells develop so fast that the current medical conditions can only delay it for a few months, Are you going to continue chemotherapy?"
"From three months to six months?"
Yang Shou raised his head and looked at his attending doctor.
Now he has sparse hair, pale complexion on his face, and chapped lips. These are the sequelae of a month of chemotherapy.
Pancreatic cancer, as the most difficult cancer to find, develops too fast and has a very high fatality rate. The probability of surviving six months after diagnosis is less than 4 in 1,000, and the average survival time is only three months.
Moreover, pancreatic cancer is the most painful and dangerous of all cancers with chemotherapy and surgery, and the mortality rate of surgery is extremely high.
Yang Shou is the head of operations of a Fortune 500 company. He graduated from college for three years and climbed to this position by himself. His ability is not bad.
Originally, life was not bad or bad, but he didn't expect that fate would suddenly make such a joke to him.
In just one month, he spent half of the hundreds of thousands he had saved in four or five years. Should he continue the treatment?
There is no need for treatment.
Yang Shou thought silently in his heart, from disbelief, daze, and fear at the beginning of the diagnosis, to now being indifferent and casual, his mentality has undergone a great change.
"Just let me do what I want to do in the last three months of my life."
After dragging his suitcase and buying a train ticket, Yang Shou left the hospital full of western medicine.
Back to my hometown, the small county, Shoucheng, a city that has produced many longevity celebrities in history.
The irony is that his name is Yang Shou, but his life is not long, so he can only return to this famous hometown of longevity and wait for his death.
"Just wait until you die, there are still three months to live anyway."
After packing up his things, Yang Shou looked down at his girlfriend in his yard, oh no, it was a "broken love token" given to him by his ex-girlfriend.
a watch.
A watch with a faint silver edge, I don't know which brand it is.
This is the watch he picked up by the reservoir when he was a child. What is strange is that this watch is still running even after college, and the time has not been wrong for ten years.
But Yang Shou searched all the brands and found no watch, as if it was not a product on earth.
The material is very light. When he was in college, he met Zhang Yutong. After falling in love, he gave her this watch. After he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she broke up with him after only one month of chemotherapy.
Heartache?
That's for sure, but let people follow you with someone who is dying?
Yang Shou originally wanted to mention breaking up, but the other party mentioned it first, which was even more heartless.
"Now only you are with me. In three months, your hour hand will turn 2,160, the minute hand will turn 129,600, and the second hand will turn 7,776,000. Down."
In other words, after 7,776,000 strokes, his life will end.
Staring at the second hand, every beat of it is irreversible, and time is slowly passing.
"Hey, what word is this?"
Yang Shou was lying on the old man's chair basking in the sun, staring at the second hand for an hour, and suddenly found that the world in front of him was a little blurry, the silver borders around the bezel were shiny, and a few words he couldn't read emerged.
Obviously it wasn't any text known on earth, but he just understood its meaning.
"Time Converter."
What is this?
What made Yang Shou even more shocked was still in the back, the silver edge slowly flowing, showing more words, the ghost painting was confused, but he recognized it at a glance.
"Ordinary civilization genes have no plasticity and development potential. Some organs of the living body are severely diseased, and the remaining life span is 89 days, 10 hours and 23 minutes."
Yang Shou took a deep breath and endured the shock in his heart. Can this watch count his lifespan?
Moreover, there was only a rotatable crown for adjusting the hour and minute hands, but a crown suddenly appeared.
Yang Shou hesitated for a moment and chose to turn the newly added crown.
At the same time as he turned, Yang Shou's mind was spinning, and he only felt that the world in front of him was gradually blurring, replaced by a desolate world that was barren and devoid of any vitality.
The sea and the land are simple and clear, but not even a single plant or an animal can be seen.
"Time accelerates."
Four small characters appeared on the watch Yang Shou was wearing, and then, the world in front of Yang Shou's eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The hour hand was circling frantically, and at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, Yang Shou felt that the flow of time in this world had increased to an unbelievable level.
I don't know how long it has evolved, but suddenly there are a few more microbes drifting with the current in the ocean.
Almost in two breathing worlds, these microorganisms are born and die, the generations change, and they evolve between life and death.
In order to survive better and live longer, they have produced a thin film to protect themselves. Inside the thin film is a fragile core that gathers all their energy.
"Live longer."
Yang Shou can clearly feel that if these most primitive creatures were born and died 30 million times with one breath before, then now with one breath, they are only born and died 25 million times...
This is the evolution of life, natural selection and survival of the fittest.
For any life, the first criterion written into its genes is to survive. Do whatever it takes to survive.
With the passage of time, I don't know how long, these are protected by a thin film, and the tiny microbes at the core begin to explore the surrounding sea area.
The prolongation of life gives them more time to recognize the surrounding environment. They feed on the organic small molecular substances in the seawater, and gradually expand the population.
With countless births and deaths, they gradually occupied the entire ocean.
But because the number is too large, the organic molecular substances in the sea water are getting less and less, and they ushered in a racial crisis of extinction due to lack of food.
Finally, under their uncontrolled development, the entire race collapsed and began to die in large numbers.
All over the ocean, their corpses were floating, making the sea water extremely turbid.
"Mass extinction."
Yang Shou was shocked when he witnessed this strange scene.
Is it an illusion? But why is it so real.
Time was reversed, and the world was spinning again. His consciousness escaped from that world and returned to the courtyard.
For the first time, Yang Shou looked down at his watch and found that it was still 4:03 in the afternoon, the sun was still warm, and only ten minutes had passed.
But in that world, tens of thousands of years have passed.
"Isn't it? The lifespan has been reduced by twenty minutes?"
Yang Shou looked at the remaining lifespan displayed on the watch. Your lifespan balance is insufficient. Please recharge in time.
It used to be 89 days, 10 hours and 23 minutes, but now it has become 89 days, 10 hours and 3 minutes.
"Time changer, don't you think?"
Yang Shou guessed silently in his heart, the time conversion, could it be that his one hour was converted into the time of those microorganisms just now.
Because they are too weak, so ten minutes is equal to their tens of thousands of years? What is the time to velocity ratio?
1,576,800,000 times!
How terrible is the difference in life levels?
Yang Shou suppressed the excitement in his heart and had a crazy idea in his heart.
He still has 89 days and 10 hours left, which is 2146 hours, and the consumption time is twice as long, because the time is also being lost during the evolution, that is, they can evolve for 1073 hours.
In 190 million years, can intelligent species appear? The species of the earth evolved for 3.2 billion years before the birth of ancient intelligent species, apes.
If I manually intervene, can intelligent species be born within 100 million years?
Let them study how to treat pancreatic cancer for me? Can it be saved?
Can they overcome this difficult problem that modern medicine cannot solve for themselves, especially the king of cancer, pancreatic cancer?
Thinking of this, Yang Shou's heart is hot, and at the end of his life, he will make a comeback for himself?
Doing what he said, Yang Shou thought carefully about the tools needed to evolve a new civilization.
Necessary items: Petri dishes, as well as various organic and inorganic substances.
I didn't expect others for a while. Yang Shou returned to the house and brought out an ant petri dish with a length, width and height of forty centimeters. There was a rockery, a small pond, and a dozen or so little ants he raised.
"You are free."
Yang Shou released them in the yard. This was one of the few activities he did after he was diagnosed with cancer. Looking at the little ants in the petri dish made him feel the value of life even more.
The original ant environment was artificially transformed, and the pond was expanded, that is, a small puddle. The ocean and land area are now seven to three, simulating the earth's environment.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the garbage disposal center in the county...
Yes, it is the garbage disposal center. The basis of life is organic matter, organic matter composed of hydrocarbons, and Yang Shou thinks that the most important place is the garbage dump.
He manually excavated a part of the soil that had settled in the garbage heap for more than ten years. Yang Shou threw it near a small puddle, half on land and half in water.
"Next, it's time to speed up, I hope it can be achieved, one hour of life."
Yang Shou took a deep breath. An hour was nothing to others. But for him, the current days are counted in seconds, and it is a huge fortune.
"Take it as an investment, otherwise you can only wait at home to die. Time, speed up!"
Yang Shou put the watch on the petri dish and twisted the crown.
no response.
fake? Was it a hallucination just now? Yang Shou rubbed his eyes several times and stared at the petri dish that didn't respond at all.
But ten minutes later, the petri dish still didn't respond at all.
"Oh yes, the microorganisms are too small to be observed by the naked eye."
Yang Shou suddenly reacted, took out a high-powered microscope from the bedroom, adjusted the magnification to the petri dish, and observed it again.
Don't ask why there is a microscope. He, an undergraduate who graduated from archaeology, bought a microscope at the university with his own money, which is not too much.
Later, it was because it was too difficult to find a job in archaeology, so I switched to operating. People are forced out.
The world of petri dishes is full of vicissitudes. Through the microscope, Yang Shou saw strange scenes.
"Damn it, it moved!"
