Chapter 67: Several Dusks(1/2)
Twelve hours after the angel Gundam stopped moving, he still did not wake up because of the forced supply of GN particles while driving Exia, and could not wake up with ordinary means. This immediately aroused Tieria's alertness and was sent directly to the hospital for examination.
"How about it?"
Shina's mother, Marina, and Areluya, who came as a young soldier visiting representative, were waiting outside the door for the result.
Tieria sat inside the house and asked him.
Routine blood tests, CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, biopsy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, X-ray, and almost all methods were used. Because it was a medical treatment with a confidentiality agreement, Tieria was not afraid of being discovered, and he even wanted to know the sudden change.
Fear comes from the unknown.
The reason why all changes are terrible is because they don’t know the reason.
All equipment inspections were summarized and the final results were calculated in a short time, and the medical team also came to the conclusion based on their own experience.
"After all the examinations, the reference result is our answer... It's incredible-"
The older doctor's sparse eyebrows were twisted into a tangled look, and he had never encountered such a situation in all his studies and practices.
He and his colleagues looked at each other and learned that their conclusions were the same, so he barely said a few words from his mouth like the timid ignorant.
"Mr. Raphael, do you know cancer cells? Do you know why organisms eventually evolved into reproduction and death mechanisms?"
He didn't wait for their answers, and he spit out what he had been holding back for a long time in one go:
"After all, the survival process of organisms is a process of self-replication. However, in the self-replication of cells, there will be errors in genetic information, which is the so-called mutations or loss, which are both benign and inferior.
On the road of biological evolution, it is actually not difficult to live long or even immortal. During the evolution process, some mechanisms are easily created to make individuals' lifespans extremely long, and many lower organisms are proved. However, for self-produced genes, individuals are insignificant existences compared to the continuation of race.
To continue the genes of race, one has to face various disasters in the world, such as cold climates or infectious diseases. Therefore, in order to continuously enrich one's own racial gene bank and disaster resistance, one needs to reproduce and replace continuously. At the same time, the resources for survival are also limited, which limits the size of the population.
If an individual lives forever, the population will tend to solidify and eventually be filled with those immortal individuals, losing the opportunity for self-revolution. Once a disaster that cannot be dealt with (such as a fatal infectious disease, he added,) it will become extinct.
On the other hand, individuals will naturally suffer from gene damage due to radiation and other conditions. If the genes want to be better kept intact and correct, they also need to replace the population.
So in addition to natural selection, a second mechanism was naturally chosen to ensure population replacement, that is... aging and death. The final compromise was that a single cell had a limited lifespan, a limited number of divisions in a single cell, and even the gene itself allowed the error of self-replication, rather than evolving more self-protection mechanisms.
But cancer cells, contrary to normal cells, have unlimited lifespans and unlimited divisions, but ordinary cancer cells do not have any normal functions. Mr. Quanta's state is similar to cancer, but it is different from cancer... because these cells are fully functional and self-replaceable, constantly replacing the original cells and self-repair, and even... are transforming into a form that has never been seen before and is different from carbon-based organisms.
Is it weird to say that? But indeed, it is even like a machine... terrible, completely contrary to my common sense.
I really can't explain it clearly, Mr. Raphael. There are too many internal mechanisms in organisms and too complex. Even if I talk about the process of interaction for a day and a night, I can't explain the changes in Mr. Quanta's body to you. I will sort out this part of the information, and you should need it. (Tieria nodded.)
But what I can be sure of is that Quanta has no problem now, he is healthy, healthier than everyone else. Just wait and he will wake up.
Most likely, Mr. Quanta will be..."
He shivered, not knowing how to respond, and only said a terrifying result:
"Isn't the first immortal human?"
Intellectual creatures with the motivation of self-interest, such as desire, often tirelessly pursue things they did not originally have, one of which is eternal survival.
The VEDA-made transformers use nanomachines to prevent aging and extend their lifespan are proof of their use as imitations. Whether it is brain quantum waves or the implementation of nanomachines technology is based on the exploration of the nature of purebred transformers.
Tieriah changed her mind and then said:
"I hope you can comply with the confidentiality agreement."
The medical team members whispered to each other and replied seriously:
"No need to say that, Mr. Raphael, we are all Kurgis... and think that Raiser's changes are good. The world that was originally dominated by religion now seems to be alive at once, clear and bright, like the world of civilization I saw when I was studying, not, rather than a poor and backward ignorant area. This is very good...is it? Mr. Raphael."
“Yes, it must be.”
Tieria replied with a gentle expression.
Change happens everywhere in this country.
No one knows what kind of future will it lead to, and will it be better or worse?
But they are all investing in this creation and believe in... the beautiful new world they can create.
The third dusk that came after the Aeon coup was still asleep for a moment.
The sun was red outside the window, and the mountains were far away, leisurely descending to the other side of the horizon.
In the absence of clouds, you can occasionally glimpse the glitter of the stars and the moon falling into the bright red twilight, which is dim. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, and the bright light of the sunset is chased by the corners of trees and buildings, gradually climbing towards the sky.
So the wind stopped, the clouds stopped, and the chirping sounds of birds were also silent.
This was Marina's thirteenth visit, and just like before, she insisted on putting all her entourage and guards out of the hospital.
While changing into fresh flowers, the girl stared at the young man's tender face silently, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.
"Are you in a pitiful moment? His Highness Marina Esmail."
Tieria, who was sitting quietly aside, noticed her mood change and asked her mercilessly.
"I..." She sat on the other side of the hospital bed, trying to refute, but realized that her heart was indeed like this, so she affirmed honestly and quietly, "Yes. You don't need to call me by Your Highness the Princess, Mr. Raphael, I am just an ordinary person."
A sudden bird song outside the house evoked a twilight to climb to her body, illuminating her gentle expression.
Gentleness is always connected with doubt, pity, and sorrow, as if it was a joke from God, but it was about to torture those kind people.
Then she said quietly:
"Mr. Shina, isn't he just a child? He has fought on the battlefield for so long, through countless life and death, and even his existence has given me the motivation to struggle... But he has never enjoyed the innocent innocence and childhood that a child should have. I think that is... a very sad thing."
"Have you enjoyed it?"
"Yes, my parents are the last blood of the royal family. My life was very good before the Azadistan government restored the monarchy and took back our family. I had a childhood that was not considered unfortunate, but I had seen many misfortunes in the world. I asked my parents why? They couldn't answer me."
The lingering clouds burned into bright red in the afterglow of the sun.
Tieria thought for a long time before speaking:
"I don't think it's a thing worth pity-"
Suffering is not something that makes people pity.
"But because of this, isn't it even more sad?"
Her eyes were very serious and she asked fiercely.
This sorrow does not come from suffering, but from the unremitting resistance of those who are deeply trapped in suffering, but lose more of their due happiness.
"I was just a child at that moment, but I took on responsibilities that many adults could not bear, and did many things that adults could not do... This made me feel very frightened and despicable. How huge is the difference between the quiet sleeping face he showed now and his expression when he was fighting against fate!"
"Is fate?" Tieria lowered her head, muttered the word, and raised her head and said seriously: "You see the burden on him, but I see his happiness. It is a silent happiness, Marina."
"hapiness?"
Marina was chanting this incomprehensible word.
Is fighting a happy one?
"Because in the moment he... became the master of his own life. War is terrible, life and death are terrible, and no God promises happiness in the next life and this life is even more terrible! Yes, it is terrible. But because of this, he no longer has a master, but is in an endless struggle with this whole society and the world out of his own will!
This kind of struggle itself is probably the most fulfilling thing for Shina. It is much happier than enjoying superficial material happiness than dominating and dominating others! Losing the so-called happiness of childhood is not a kind of misfortune. To overcome fate, look at failure contempt, and to gain the future and change with your own hands is... the path to real life.
Regardless of victory or failure, always fight against the established world and move towards the ideal world. Even if it is just a moment in endless eternity, it is the highest will of life. This is the moment!"
The perpetuation of an individual's life is denied by the laws of this world and has a predetermined fate of aging and death.
In this vast period of 13 billion years, human beings have only a hundred years of life, like dust, bearing the many misfortunes in this world, and devote their lives for their home, country and population. But for them, what have they gained?
Grow, work, reproduce, aging, and die.
This is the individual to the group.
Short-lived happiness is overwhelmed by unsatisfied desires and more pain.
People who know all this have never easily chosen to die. Suicide is the way to reach the end of life, right?
What is the meaning of existence? What is the meaning of life?
If life is not brought, death is not taken away. Human life is just a moment in eternity.
The process of living is not beautiful to most people. They are diligent all day long, but they have nothing to gain. They only have endless responsibilities, obligations and necessities, and they are even trampled on by people who are higher than their superiors.
So why don’t humans choose to commit suicide?
Religion and social public opinion denies suicide are really full of various uses of human surplus value.
And indeed, for individuals, as long as they commit suicide, they can expose all the lies of life, and no longer have to bear all the sufferings and embarrassment in the world, and all problems can be solved. As for after death, there is no punishment for hell, anyway, what is the world, everything, and human beings? Even if the flood is overwhelming, what does it have to do with the dead?
Tieria continued:
"Does Don Quixote look like a Don Quixote? He knows that it is just a windmill ahead, but there is a different place in the moment. Don Quixote just deceives himself and regards the windmill as a giant. But Shina is even more stupid. He knows that it is just a windmill, but he is still moving meaninglessly."
So he chose to fight the existing order of all mankind.
The VEDA child's expression was soft and soft in the twilight, and he said and laughed.
He was extremely grateful for his life as a Gundam driver in his previous life and for his encounter with each Gundam driver. It was Lockeon who taught him how to establish bonds and love others.
Bonding and loving others, so taking responsibility is something that people in this world have long forgotten, and it is just one of the things that people in this world have long forgotten.
"Because he loves humans, he pulls the chains bound to humans and quietly promises a dusk.
It is nothing else, it is the dusk of the gods in the old world, the one who praises war, the one who praises fate, the one who praises power, the one who praises disputes, and the one who praises authority! After dusk, a new world will come.
…Isn’t it ridiculous to say that? It’s even a bit funny? This is just my idea, you don’t have to take it to heart.”
To be continued...
