Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Wang Yu, Zhang Qian, and Zhu Ming trembled at the thought of this number.

The Somersault Cloud, traveling at only one-fifth the speed of light, already amazed them.

Now, Lu Li’s flight speed is a hundred trillion times the speed of light?

Honestly, what kind of flight scenario is that? They couldn’t even begin to imagine!

...

In the core control room.

At this moment, Shen Xia was chatting with Liu Kexin.

Lu Li’s parents were wearing holographic helmets, traveling through a virtual world.

Well, the old couple was unwilling to travel to alien planets by spaceship, fearing that the spaceship might get lost in the boundless cosmos or break down halfway, leaving them unable to return to Earth.

”Xiaoxia, you know so much.”

”Not really, what I chatted with you about earlier is all from books. Hey, how’s your company doing?”

”I’m pregnant and can’t manage it, so I had to hire a professional manager. We’ve recently introduced alien technology, so there could be new products.”

The two women chatted casually.

Lu Li walked forward, ”Talking about company matters?”

Liu Kexin turned her head and exclaimed with delight, ”Lu Li, you finally showed up.”

Shen Xia also turned her head, waved her hand with a smile as a greeting.

Lu Li sat down on a chair next to them, glanced at his parents still immersed in their virtual world tour, and didn’t disturb them.

He looked at the two women and said, ”I’ve been here for quite a while; you just didn’t notice. Maybe the aliens saw me before you did.”

Liu Kexin, being so smart, immediately guessed the situation.

She widened her eyes and said, ”You’ve already gone to the Small Magellanic Cloud?”

Shen Xia immediately perked up her ears, showing great interest in this topic.

Without hiding anything, Lu Li straightforwardly admitted, ”Yes, I just took a trip to the Small Magellanic Cloud and fulfilled my promise.”

Liu Kexin confirmed, ”Wiped out the entire Eternal Motion Race and destroyed the Small Magellanic Cloud?”

Lu Li nodded, ”Yes.”

Liu Kexin curiously asked, ”I’m not too concerned about how you wiped out the entire Eternal Motion Race; what I want to know is, how on earth did you destroy a dwarf star system with a diameter of seven thousand light-years?”

Shen Xia listened intently, not blinking.

Lu Li smiled and said, ”I created a ’bubble’ and destroyed the Small Magellanic Cloud.”

”Pfft.” Liu Kexin thought Lu Li was joking and couldn’t help but laugh, ”A bubble? Lu Li, stop joking. How could a bubble possibly destroy such a massive dwarf star system?”

Shen Xia frowned deeply, seemingly pondering what sort of bubble Lu Li created to destroy the Small Magellanic Cloud in such a short time.

Lu Li, all smiles, countered, ”Why is it impossible for a bubble to destroy a dwarf star system?”

Liu Kexin retorted speechlessly, ”Didn’t I just say so? The Small Magellanic Cloud is seven thousand light-years in diameter and is filled with hundreds of millions of stars. What kind of bubble is so powerful it can destroy hundreds of millions of stars?”

Shen Xia interjected suddenly, ”If it’s the kind of ’bubble’ I’m thinking of, it could not only destroy a dwarf star system but also possibly the cosmos.”

”Huh?” Liu Kexin turned in surprise to Shen Xia and asked, ”Xiaoxia, what kind of bubble are you talking about that can destroy the whole cosmos?”

”Hold on. Let me ask Lu Li first.” Shen Xia didn’t answer immediately but looked intently into Lu Li’s eyes and asked, ”Lu Li, I know you can sense what others think. Was the bubble you used to destroy the Small Magellanic Cloud the one I’m thinking of?”

Lu Li nodded gently, ”Yes.”

Shen Xia displayed a look of utter amazement and disbelief, saying, ”I’ve read many physics books sent by the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance, and even they, as strong as they are, only have theoretical hypotheses about such bubbles. There’s no way they could be created, and yet you made one to destroy the Small Magellanic Cloud. It’s truly incredible to me.”

Liu Kexin, puzzled by their cryptic talk, alternately looked at Shen Xia and Lu Li, trying to understand what kind of bubble it was, but neither explained, leaving her curiosity itching to the extreme.

Lu Li said, ”Some things can never be done by technological civilization alone, but I am not an ordinary intelligent life form. I can easily do what physics cannot achieve. If you want to understand the method of manufacturing it, I can tell you later. However, one thing can be clearly stated: even if you know how to create such a bubble, in reality, it cannot be done. As for now, my wife is incredibly curious, so please explain it to her.”

Liu Kexin nodded forcefully, ”Yes, yes, yes. I’m curious beyond belief. Xiaoxia, hurry and tell me.”

”Okay.” Shen Xia looked at Liu Kexin and asked, ”Do you know what the Higgs boson is?”

Liu Kexin replied, ”Yes.”

Shen Xia smiled, ”Then it becomes much easier to explain. Last year, at the postdoctoral research institute at King’s College London, Zion Hédière and his colleagues published a new study in Physics Letters B, stating that some models of the early cosmos that involve objects called light primordial black holes are unlikely to be correct, as they could trigger the Higgs boson, thereby immediately ending the cosmos.”

Liu Kexin didn’t quite understand, ”Could you explain more clearly?”

Shen Xia said, ”The Higgs boson is responsible for all the particle masses and interactions that we know of. This is because the mass of particles is a result of fundamental particles interacting with a field known as the Higgs Field. The existence of the Higgs boson tells us that this field exists.”
