"More than forty years ago, in 2036, mankind first set foot on the Martian soil," Angus said. "And made amazing discoveries on Mars. All of this was kept secret before, but today we can reveal some of it to the global public."

Secretary-General Angus stood up, and a huge light screen behind him showed a scene of Mars: a dilapidated, enormous city of steel.

"This is the ruin of an underground city on Mars. Judging from the remaining relics, it was thirty-six kilometers long and twenty-five kilometers wide, like a giant underground fortress," Secretary-General Angus said. Then, with another wave of his hand, the screen changed to another scene—a human statue.

"This statue, created thirty million years ago, is strikingly similar to humans," Secretary-General Angus said. "It was also found on Mars."

Secretary-General Angus didn't explain much. With another wave of his hand, an even more shocking scene appeared—a huge, brand-new spaceship, broken into two pieces, in the depths of a vast canyon.

"This spaceship is five point eight kilometers long. The time of its crash and breakage should be one million years ago," Secretary-General Angus said. "When we discovered it, the broken spaceship was buried by the canyon. After excavating it from the ruins and doing some simple maintenance, we found that the ship was still brand new and had not decayed. The technology contained within this spaceship is simply incredible."

Secretary-General Angus paused after speaking.

But the world was in an uproar.

"What is this?"

"Such a huge steel city?"

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

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

"What kind of technology is inside this spaceship?"

"That statue, a statue from thirty million years ago, still maintains its overall appearance. The material of this statue is awesome! And it looks like a human?"

"Did humans live on Mars in the past?"

People all over the world were exclaiming and discussing.

Secretary-General Angus was silent for a moment, flipping through the manuscript in his hand, then looked up and continued, "Mars is the wealth of all mankind, so in 2056, we formed the Blue Star Alliance to jointly develop Mars."

2036, landing on Mars.

2056, the world formed the Blue Star Alliance.

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

Angus took out a silver-gray helmet from a nearby box.

"The virtual glasses technology can only achieve a 30% level of virtual reality, but the virtual helmet technology..." Angus said, "After paying an incredibly high price, our Blue Star has 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 degree of 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 is dreaming. So people can use 'sleep' time to enter the virtual world. This greatly increases the available time in our day. In addition to studying and working during the day, we can also study, 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 mobile game era. It's only been sixty or seventy years... and we already have virtual worlds? 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 Mars," Angus said. "In today's press conference, the virtual helmet is only ranked second. The first is... human evolution!"

"Evolution?"

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

"We have excavated some ancient technologies from Mars, including genetic evolution methods," Angus said. "After years of experimentation, here, we people all over the world need to express our gratitude to the volunteers who gave their lives for the experiments. They are the 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 experimentation, we have worked out a 100% successful genetic evolution method," Angus said. "A method that is suitable for 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 of his fists will be far stronger than ordinary people. His children, influenced by genetic inheritance, will also have stronger fist bones and muscles from birth. This is a small-scale genetic evolution!"

"People have long discovered that exercise can make the body stronger. 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 changes in the genes of millions, or even hundreds of millions of humans. The exercise and evolution plan that is finally summarized will be incredible."

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

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

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

In the huge light screen behind him, there appeared thousands of people, men and women, old and young, some disabled, some sickly, some strong, and some who were old and about to die...

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 extremely tired, and if the movements are wrong, it will be harmful. So these volunteers are learning in the virtual helmet, and once they are sure that they have completely learned it in the virtual world, they will also know it in reality."

"In just three months, this group of experimenters has undergone transformation."

Secretary-General Angus said excitedly.

A group of disabled people, some with broken legs, some with broken arms, but in the video, the broken limbs gradually grew, and finally, each one was completely healed.

Many gray-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, and they have completely transformed to a new level," Secretary-General Angus said.

"This is a 100-meter race test. Previously, the world record for the 100-meter 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, so fast that their figures were blurred, and they quickly reached the finish line.

The fastest experimenter's result was: 5.13 seconds.

"These eight people have only studied the genetic evolution method for three months, and their 100-meter sprint is generally more than five seconds," Secretary-General Angus said.

On the screen, there was another young man grabbing a barbell. The barbell bar was thicker than an Olympic barbell bar, but the heavy dumbbell plates on both sides still bent the thick bar.

But with one exertion of force, the young man had already lifted it over his head.

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

On the screen, someone jumped, leaping over the high bar.

"One leap, three point nine meters high."

Secretary-General Angus said, "They jump higher, run faster, lift heavier weights, and their bodies recover more powerfully. Severed limbs can regenerate, and past terminal illnesses are like a small cold to evolved humans. The body's immunity naturally eliminates them. 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 between 160 and 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? Severed limbs can be regenerated?" In Tianjin, in the living room, Yang Qingshuo, who was 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 floated up next to him.

"Xiao Shuo, Xiao Shuo, can you hear me? Severed limbs can grow back, in the video, legs that were broken in two have grown back. You only have one hand, it will definitely grow back," Yang's mother said excitedly with tears in her eyes. She would be satisfied even if she died if her son could be no longer disabled.

"Mom, your illness can also be cured." Yang Qingshuo also cried with joy.

"Yes, my illness can also be cured." Yang's mother nodded repeatedly, "Our family can be together again, thank this era, thank 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 excitedly kissed his son.

The son opened his eyes, glanced at his dad sleepily, and closed his eyes again to continue sleeping.

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

"All entertainment has been suspended, there are no cartoons, and Tao Tao waited until he was sleepy." Yang Qingshuo said with a smile.

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

"It will get better." Yang Qingshuo said with a smile, feeling that the future was full of hope.

...

Xu Jingming's family was also in excitement.

"All terminal illnesses can be cured?"

"Severed limbs grow back?"

"Lifespan of 160 to 200 years?"

These news made the whole family dizzy.

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

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

Xu Jingming nodded, "But the future martial arts competitions 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 still used computers at home, and my father and his generation 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 have lived in a good era."

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

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

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