Immortality
by Wu Chu
About This Novel
Life is short. Human beings have been searching for immortality for thousands of years. In 2029, geneticist Goode accidentally discovered a miraculous substance that can delay aging-the "God molecule." The average human life expectancy will be at least over two hundred years. People around the world are rejoicing and singing about the bright and great immortality is becoming a reality. A few calm people began to think about a series of problems such as resource depletion, class solidification, and equality of human rights that may exist behind human longevity or even immortality. The mysterious scientific organization "Filter" has come up with a cold answer through extremely rigorous calculations: "God Molecule". Behind this great gospel of mankind lies a terrible crisis. Human civilization that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years will have a one-sixth chance of extinction!

This novel has logical loopholes
The core idea of this book is the Fermi Paradox, but he first used the elimination method to deny it one after another - aliens do not exist, the level of technology is low, the universe is in silent mode, and then affirmed the last one - technological development will inevitably lead to self-destruction. This is obviously wrong, because in addition to the above-mentioned reasons, it should also be excluded - from a logical perspective - firstly, the time for human beings to observe the universe is actually very short. From a macroscopic perspective, the time period and scope of human observation are actually extremely small. So, is it because there is not enough time and the probability is too small that we cannot find extraterrestrial life? (Just like you win the lottery, you really won't win the big prize in certain periods of time, but you will definitely win the big prize later if you keep catching it.) Secondly, the way the universe detects extraterrestrial life is electromagnetic waves or other methods, but according to the theory of relativity, the propagation speed of any information cannot be greater than the speed of light, so is our distance too far to prevent it from being explored in a short time? Third, we cannot detect four-dimensional or multi-dimensional creatures. Maybe they will affect our three-dimensional world through something, but we cannot correctly perceive their existence. So are there creatures in the four-dimensional world that we cannot perceive? Fourth, master control - are they not sending signals because they already know our existence and are observing our every move? And block any signal communication from other planets in the universe? Therefore, the novel's presumptuous belief that technology will lead to the demise of mankind is obviously a bold idea, not logically correct.
Why! ?
Why not launch a genocidal war against country A? They should all be killed!
