Chapter 134 Immortality and the Paradox of the Ship of Theseus 【For Collection】\\r
The specific power of gamma rays has yet to be determined.
Anyway, cutting zombies and buildings is easier than cutting melons and vegetables.
Li Kunlun even doubted whether his own gamma rays could penetrate the atmosphere and shoot directly into space.
"I want to try it, but the nuclear energy and light energy in my body are not enough.
Li Kunlun dismissed this boring idea.
"Go back and look for the earthly python again, and see if my gamma rays can penetrate the scales of the earthly python. 35
Li Kunlun still remembers his battle with the worldly python.
Whether it is the nuclear explosion Gale Jade, or the electromagnetic gun version of Thor's Spear, they can't penetrate the scales of the earthly python.
Can't break the defense, let alone kill the earthly python.
Of course, the earthly python failed to kill him, so Li Kunlun carried Zhang Ruoxian on his back and escaped from the restricted area of life.
“Gamma rays have good penetrating power, but they are emitted from the eyes and have a limited area of damage. 35
"It's far inferior to the nuclear explosion of the wind jade, which can cause destructive power in a radius of ten miles in one blow.""
"Each of my moves also has its own characteristics, and I can't say which one is the strongest. 39
"In addition, because of the strong penetrating power of gamma rays, it is impossible to control the penetration variables, and it is easy to hurt one's own people."
Li Kunlun analyzed a wave in his mind, and without delay, flew directly over the city and flew to the university mentioned in the forum.
"found it!"
Li Kunlun flew over half a small country and finally found the target university.
"Bang"
He fell from the sky, fell on the playground, and smashed a cobweb hole.
Li Kunlun, who was half-knelt in the cobweb pit, stood up and looked around.
Some of the nearby university buildings collapsed completely, while others were mostly destroyed.
Li Kunlun wondered if the laboratory mentioned in the martial artist forum had turned into ruins.
"Let's take a look, such an important laboratory should be very strong, I hope it is not destroyed in the catastrophe. 99
Li Kunlun brushed it and turned into an afterimage, traveling through the dead university.
For a time, there were afterimages of Li Kunlun everywhere in the university corridors, playgrounds, classrooms, and ruins.
His speed was too fast, and he went around most of the school in a few breaths, dazzling.
There are also zombies in this school, and there are a lot of them.
But Li Kunlun is too fast, the zombies can't catch up.
Even before these zombies could react, Li Kunlun flashed past them.
"No `"?"
"By the way, is there something I've missed. 39
"brush"
Li Kunlun disappeared again.
When he appeared, it was in front of a secret laboratory.
A metal gate blocked Li Kunlun's way.
"Just an iron gate..."
Li Kunlun was about to throw a punch out, punching through the iron gate, but stopped his fist again.
He was not sure if the metal door was behind the aquarium, for fear that a punch would knock the metal door out and smash the aquarium.
"By the way, can't I control metal, I almost forgot. 35
Li Kunlun thought, and the complicated mechanism inside the metal door began to turn.
With a "click" sound, the door lock automatically opens.
Two metal doors opened slowly.
Li Kunlun stepped inside, and the energy-saving lamps on the roof turned on automatically with a "pop".
"The independent power system used in this laboratory, the stored electricity, has been preserved to this day.
Li Kunlun walked forward, and the energy-saving sensor lights above his head automatically turned on one by one.
Some energy-saving induction lamps may not have been used for a long time.
Li Kunlun ignored this and walked around looking for an aquarium with lighthouse jellyfish.
Soon, he found the purpose of this trip!
Lighthouse Jellyfish!
In a dark and deep huge aquarium, several bell-shaped transparent jellyfish swim gracefully and comfortably in the water.
Their red stomachs are extremely conspicuous in the almost transparent body, only four or five millimeters in size, like a quiet elves, wandering in the darkness.
"Lighthouse Jellyfish!!" 5
Li Kunlun's eyes burst into a bright light.
Stepping through the iron shoes and finding nowhere, after a lot of hard work, I finally found the lighthouse jellyfish.
Li Kunlun was about to open the aquarium and reached out to touch the lighthouse jellyfish when a sound suddenly rang out.
"Cough, can you hear it? This is the eighteenth record of the immortality topic. After scholars discovered the immortality ability of the lighthouse jellyfish, it can be said that everything boiled.
"All scientists go crazy and want to decipher this puzzle, after all, what could be more fascinating than immortality?"
Li Kunlun was slightly startled, turned his head to look for the source of the sound, and found a recording player on the experimental bench.
After a lapse of decades, a stranger's visit activated the laboratory's power supply system again, allowing the tape recorder that recorded the experiment to play along with it.
"The fifty-third record of the research on the subject of immortality, there are more and more doubts, the lighthouse jellyfish does not seem to be the immortality in our understanding..."
Walking to Li Kunlun in front of the laboratory desk, ready to turn off the recorder.
Hearing this sentence, Li Kunlun's finger that was about to press down stopped.
He chose to continue listening.
"`"The immortality we understand means that a living body is immortal, immortal and immortal."
"But the immortality of the lighthouse jellyfish is obtained through differentiation and transfer to obtain a new life form, and the original parent body has died, which is equivalent to sacrificing itself to produce a new life form.
"So this kind of immortality is abnormal, or it cannot be called immortality.
"Lighthouse jellyfish have existed as early as the Cretaceous Mesozoic, but because of this infinite ability to acquire new life, they have not evolved, they have always been the same, and this immortality without progress is meaningless.
Li Kunlun was stunned for a moment.
The immortality mentioned in the recording made him in a trance.
The immortality of the lighthouse jellyfish seems to be different from the immortality in his imagination.
"Is this way of immortality in which the old body transforms into a new fetus, really immortality?"
"Is the transformed self really still me?"
Li Kunlun was a little creepy, and he remembered a paradox:
The Ship of Theseus Paradox! (Qian Hao Zhao)
This paradox describes a ship that can be at sea for hundreds of years, thanks to constant repairs and replacement parts.
As soon as a plank rots, it's replaced!
And so on, until all the functional parts are not the first ones.
The question is, is the resulting ship still the original Theseus ship, or a completely different ship?
If not the original ship, at what point does it cease to be the original ship?
The immortality of the lighthouse jellyfish is actually a bit like this Ship of Theseus paradox.
Constantly reincarnated and reborn to gain eternal life.
This kind of self, is it still the original self?
Li Kunlun is reminded of a famous internet writer from before the Great Debacle.
This Internet writer, who claims to have an ominous old age, is covered in red hair.
Several popular novel characters written by him were reborn through this kind of shedding of their old bodies and lived out their second life!
