"More than forty years ago, in 2036, humanity first landed on Yinghuo (Mars)," Angus said. "And made amazing discoveries on Yinghuo. All of this was previously classified, but today we can disclose some of it to the global public."

Secretary-General Angus stood up, and a huge screen behind him displayed scenes of Yinghuo—a dilapidated, giant steel city.

"This is the ruin of an underground city on Yinghuo. The remaining relics suggest it's thirty-six kilometers long and twenty-five kilometers wide, like a giant underground fortress," Secretary-General Angus said. Then he waved his hand, and the screen changed to another scene—a human sculpture.

"This sculpture, created thirty million years ago, closely resembles us humans," Secretary-General Angus said. "Also discovered on Yinghuo."

Secretary-General Angus didn't explain much, and with another wave of his hand, even more shocking scenes appeared—a massive, brand-new spaceship, broken in two, deep within a large canyon.

"This spaceship is five point eight kilometers long. The crash and break likely occurred one million years ago," Secretary-General Angus said. "When we found it, the broken spaceship was buried by the canyon. After excavating it from the ruins and performing simple maintenance, we discovered that the ship was still brand new and hadn't decayed. The technology contained within this ship is simply unbelievable."

Secretary-General Angus paused after speaking.

But the world was already in an uproar.

"What is this?"

"Such a massive steel city?"

"Is that a spaceship? Five point eight kilometers long?"

"Millions of years, and the materials are still brand new? What kind of technology is this?"

"What kind of technology is inside that spaceship?"

"That sculpture, a sculpture from thirty million years ago, still maintains its overall appearance. The sculpture material is amazing. And it looks like a human?"

"Did humans exist on Yinghuo in the past?"

People around the world were marveling and discussing.

Secretary-General Angus paused for a moment, looked at the manuscript in his hand, then looked up and continued, "Yinghuo is the wealth of all of humanity, so in 2056, we formed the Blue Star Alliance to jointly develop Yinghuo."

2036: Landed on Yinghuo.

2056: The world formed the Blue Star Alliance.

"Global cooperation in developing Yinghuo, and the technology obtained from Yinghuo, will benefit all of humanity," Angus said with a smile. "For example, virtual glasses technology originated from the virtual helmets on Yinghuo."

Angus took a silver-gray helmet from a box beside him.

"Virtual glasses technology can only achieve about 30% virtual reality, but virtual helmet technology..." Angus said, "After paying an incredibly huge price, we at Blue Star have finally conquered it."

"Wearing the virtual helmet will connect the brain's nerves to the virtual helmet, and the brain's consciousness will enter the virtual world," Angus said. "First, the virtual reality can reach almost 100%. Touch and smell can be simulated, and the human body can be 100% virtualized."

Everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned.

Almost 100% virtual?

"Second, because the body is completely at rest after entering the virtual world, the brain is as if it's dreaming. So people can use 'sleep' time to enter the virtual world. This greatly increases the available time in our day. In addition to learning and working during the day, we can also learn, do scientific research, and entertain ourselves in the virtual world at night," Secretary-General Angus said with a smile. "Technology changes humanity. In the future, our sleep time can also be fully utilized."

"Is this how technology changes humanity?"

"Sleeping time, entering the virtual world?" Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and their family were all shocked.

"When I was young, it was still the era of mobile games. Only sixty or seventy years have passed... and there's already a virtual world? I'm eighty-eight years old, and I can still see this day?" Old Master Xu was stunned.

"The virtual helmet is not the biggest gain from our development of Yinghuo," Angus said. "In today's press conference, the virtual helmet is only the second item. The first is... human evolution!"

"Evolution?"

People around the world were listening carefully. The virtual helmet was only second? Human evolution was first?

"We have excavated some ancient technologies from Yinghuo, including genetic evolution methods," Angus said. "After years of experimentation, here, people all over the world need to express our gratitude to the volunteers who sacrificed their lives for the experiments. They are heroes of all mankind."

Images of individuals, men and women, appeared on the screen behind him.

People around the world were silent.

For the sake of experimentation, many volunteers died?

"After years of experiments, we have found a 100% successful genetic evolution method," Angus said. "A method that suits all humans on our Blue Star."

"Genetic evolution sounds incredible, but the principle is very simple."

"Like a boxer, who trains for a long time, the bones and muscles in his fists will far exceed those of ordinary people. His children, influenced by genetic inheritance, will also have naturally stronger bones and muscles in their fists. This is a small-scale genetic evolution!"

"People have long discovered that exercise can strengthen the body. Exercise can reduce many diseases. Exercise can lead to longevity."

"But those are simple exercise methods that we have summarized from daily habits."

Secretary-General Angus said, "If technology can develop to the point of monitoring human genes, and summarizing the genetic changes caused by human exercise... monitoring the genetic changes of millions, or even hundreds of millions of humans. The final exercise and evolution plan will be unbelievable."

"This is the genetic evolution method discovered on Yinghuo. After our experiments, we have determined ten evolution methods suitable for humans on Earth."

Ten books appeared on the screen behind him, each with alien writing.

"Please look at the group of experimenters invited half a year ago," Secretary-General Angus pointed to the screen.

On the huge screen behind him, appeared thousands of people, men and women, old and young, some disabled, some sickly, some strong, some on the verge of death...

They were all wearing silver-gray helmets and lying on beds.

"More than half of them have terminal illnesses, and one-fifth are disabled," Secretary-General Angus said. "Learning the evolution method is not easy. Each time, it will make the body exhausted, and if the movements are wrong, it will be harmful. So these volunteers are learning in the virtual helmet, and after confirming that they have completely learned it in the virtual world, they will be able to do it in reality."

"In just three months, these experimenters have undergone transformation."

Secretary-General Angus said excitedly.

They saw disabled people, some with broken legs, some with broken arms, but in the video, the broken limbs gradually grew, and eventually, everyone was completely healed.

Many white-haired old people, as time passed, gradually had their hair turn black, wrinkles disappeared, and became younger.

Sickly terminal patients gradually became healthy, and even had rosy complexions.

"Their genes have evolved, completely transforming to a new level," Secretary-General Angus said.

"This is a 100-meter race test. Previously, the world record for the 100-meter dash was 9.32 seconds. And these eight experimenters..." Secretary-General Angus looked at the screen.

With the sound of a gunshot, eight experimenters darted out, like cheetahs, their fast figures blurred, and quickly reached the finish line.

The fastest experimenter's result was: 5.13 seconds.

"They only learned the genetic evolution method for three months, and their 100-meter dash times are generally more than five seconds," Secretary-General Angus said.

On the screen, there were also young people grabbing barbells. The barbell bar was thicker than the Olympic barbell bar, but the heavy dumbbell plates on both sides still bent the thick bar.

But as soon as this young man exerted force, he had already lifted it over his head.

"Without professional weightlifting training, an ordinary young man can easily lift a thousand kilograms of barbell with both hands."

On the screen, someone jumped over a high bar.

"One jump, three point nine meters high."

Secretary-General Angus said, "They jump higher, run faster, lift heavier, their physical recovery becomes stronger, broken limbs can regenerate, and past terminal illnesses are like a small cold to evolved humans. The body's immunity will naturally eliminate it. All known terminal illnesses in humans can be eliminated by the evolved body. Most importantly... lifespan has also changed. After our confirmation, the lifespan of evolved humans will generally be 160 to 200 years. Human lifespan has increased by a whole fold."

As soon as these words came out, many people around the world were in an uproar.

"All terminal illnesses can be eliminated? Broken limbs can be regenerated?" In Tianjin City, in the living room, Yang Qingshuo, holding his son and watching the live broadcast, stared blankly at everything.

"Can my mother's illness be cured? Can my hand grow back?" Yang Qingshuo murmured.

Didi, a small screen popped up next to him.

"Xiao Shuo, Xiao Shuo, did you hear? Broken limbs can grow back, in the video, both legs were broken and they grew back. You only have one hand, it will definitely grow back." Yang's mother was full of tears, she would be satisfied even if she died if her son could no longer be disabled.

"Mom, your illness can also be cured." Yang Qingshuo was also overjoyed.

"Yes, my illness can also be cured." Yang's mother nodded repeatedly. "Our family can be together again. Thank you for this era, thank you for this era."

Yang Qingshuo looked down at his son, who was dozing off. He had fallen asleep early while waiting for the live broadcast. Yang Qingshuo kissed his son excitedly.

His son opened his eyes, looked at his dad sleepily, vaguely, and then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

"Is Tao Tao asleep?" Yang's mother asked.

"All entertainment is suspended, and there are no cartoons, so Tao Tao is sleepy." Yang Qingshuo laughed.

Yang's mother nodded, "Let him rest well. From now on, our family will get better."

"It's going to get better." Yang Qingshuo smiled, feeling that the future life was full of hope.

...

Xu Jingming's family was also excited.

"All terminal illnesses can be cured?"

"Broken limbs can grow back?"

"Lifespan of 160 to 200 years?"

These messages made the whole family dizzy.

Xu Jingming looked at his aging parents beside him. His father was already sixty, and his mother had some white hair. His grandfather was even eighty-eight. Could these most important relatives in his life live to be over 160 years old?

"Son, your leg injury will definitely be healed." Mother excitedly hugged Xu Jingming, "People with broken legs have grown them back, your little injury is not worth mentioning."

Xu Jingming nodded: "But the future martial arts competition will definitely be different from the past. In the future, an ordinary person can lift thousands of kilograms with both hands."

"This is a new era." Old Master Xu sighed, "When I was a child, we used computers at home, and my father and they also played computer games. When I was a teenager, I entered the mobile phone era... When I was middle-aged, it was the virtual glasses era... Now human lifespan can be doubled, I live in a good era."

"Yes, we live in a good era." Li Chengan and his wife also looked at each other.

"Dad, Mom, we can be together forever, living to be over one hundred and sixty years old." Li Miaomiao also happily hugged her parents.

"Our family is together." Li Chengan and his wife smiled, with tears in their eyes.
