The Garden of Eden is God's garden, and in a sense it is equivalent to heaven. Therefore, it is very likely that the creatures here have eternal life, and if they do not have children, even if they do not have a complete food chain, they will not lead to ecological disasters due to overbreeding, and this Garden of Eden will always exist like this.www.biquge.info ”

At this moment, Lu Ze finally connected all the clues and guesses, and then became more and more sure of his reasoning.

"In retrospect, Sarah may not just be trying to express the idea of a 'garden' through this puzzle. She also further discussed the issue of eternal life and the future path of human civilization. ”

After speaking, Lu Ze exhaled softly, as if admiring and sighing.

"Aren't we declassifying? How did it suddenly get on the road of human civilization? Lu Li said in surprise.

"In the past, everyone thought that birth, old age, sickness and death were natural, but in this era, eternal life is no longer a dream, for example, Alice Yan's neural upload technology is actually a path to eternal life, and I believe that this is by no means the only way to eternal life. Therefore, eternal life can be said to have become a looming issue! ”

Why? Eternal life...... Is there anything wrong with that? ”

"First of all, once the technology of immortality appears, it will inevitably spread throughout humanity. This trend cannot be stopped, even if some people reject the immortality technology, time will eliminate all these people, so it will soon enter the era of immortality for all. You can understand this, right? ”

"Hmm."

"And one of the questions that these immortals have to face is how to control the growth of the population?"

"Is it to make it impossible for everyone to have children?"

Lu Li suddenly thought of the relationship between the Garden of Eden and this issue.

"Yes, without the perfect way to control the population, once the immortal technology comes along, the population will grow exponentially, like the rabbit I said earlier. Even if humanity has mastered controlled nuclear fusion, established the Dyson sphere, and even colonized the entire galaxy...... It is impossible to meet the energy needs of an infinitely growing population......"

Saying that, Lu Ze couldn't help but sigh again.

"In fact, a hundred years ago, there were a lot of dystopian novels and movies that depicted such an immortal society."

Thinking of the terrible scenes described in those works in his memory, Lu Ze's voice became heavy.

"For example, I saw in a movie a society where time is used as currency, everyone can see the time he has left, and once he spends it, he dies. The rich have hundreds of years or thousands of years in their hands, while the poor have to work hard for the next day to live. ”

Lu Li couldn't help but hold his breath.

Maybe it's because the content of the movie is not counted as "knowledge", but as Lu Ze's life experience, so Lu Li has no relevant memories.

Lu Ze said: "There is also a social rule described in a novel that one person must die in order to give birth to another, and if someone accidentally gives birth to a child, they must exchange their lives for ...... Sentenced to death! ”

"Ahh

Lu Li couldn't help but exclaim.

Then she covered her mouth in horror.

"Huh."

Lu Ze smiled and waved his hand.

"These scenarios are all fictional, how can such a thing happen in reality?"

After listening to Lu Ze's words, Lu Li took a long breath and slowly relaxed.

"Now think about it, is this Garden of Eden a bit like the eternal society I talked about......

"The absence of carnivores symbolizes the great abundance of resources, the absence of competition, conflict, and war, and the absence of any living things here, which symbolizes the absence of population growth. Isn't this a utopia of eternal life? ”

Lu Li nodded, then shook his head again, and asked, "But what does this have to do with the 'evil' we discussed earlier?" ”

"The absence of forbidden fruit on the tree of wisdom means that there is no 'evil' in the Garden of Eden, does this symbolize that everyone in utopia is a saint? No! I'm more inclined to think that in such a society, everyone no longer has the opportunity to do 'evil', and with the monitoring of the Star Spirit Network, it is actually very easy to do this. ”

"So what does this 'evil' mean? I said before that the difference between good and evil is whether or not you follow God's will, which is the law of nature......"

"But in such a utopia, the 'will of God' is actually the rules of society, and these rules must be made by people and then enforced under the supervision of the Star Spirit Network. How can such a rule, no matter how perfect it seems, be free of any loopholes? And exploiting loopholes is undoubtedly 'evil' for this utopia. ”

"So what exactly does it mean to exploit a loophole?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask curiously.

She's still thinking about doing bad things.

Legend has it that in the Garden of Eden, in addition to the Tree of Wisdom that allows people to distinguish between good and evil, there is also a Tree of Life that can give people eternal life. As long as we find the Tree of Life and eat the Fruit of Life, the puzzle will be solved. ”

"Huh?"

"You think, the social rules in this utopia must limit all possibilities of population growth, right? Even if it's just one more Eternal, the problem is serious. Because no matter how low the probability is, as long as there is a possibility of growth, the population will grow indefinitely......"

"So when I eat the fruit of life, that's when 'evil' appears." Lu Ze is definitely authentic.

"But we don't know what the tree of life looks like?"

"Fool, we don't need to know what the Tree of Life looks like, we just need to taste all the fruits in this Garden of Eden."

"Huh?" Lu Li was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you say that if you were asked to design a puzzle, since you had carefully designed such a beautiful world, you would have to let the decryptor walk around and see the scenery? Isn't that exactly what you want? Ha ha. ”

Lu Ze couldn't help laughing.

"I'm such a crow's mouth." Lu Li wanted to cry without tears.

"Well, although it seems like a good view of the scenery, Alice may not be able to wait that long."

Lu Ze smiled and shook his head.

"So you have any other ways to decrypt it?"

"Follow me."

Lu Ze said and walked to the front of the "soap flower" that left a deep impression on the two of them before.

"Don't you think this flower is special?"

"Special? You mean seeds! ”

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, these bubbles blown away by the wind will fly with seeds all the way to the world beyond the Garden of Eden, otherwise wouldn't they violate the rules of utopia? So I guess this is likely to symbolize the interstellar colonization of humanity in the Eternal Age, and the population that goes to build a new home in other galaxies will not stay in the solar system, and such a population increase is not considered 'evil'. But what if we keep this seed here? ”

Lu Ze said and stretched out his finger to gently puncture the bubble on a flower that was slowly growing, then picked up the seed and dug a pit on the side to bury the seed in it.

When Lu Ze finished all this, the two seemed to have a feeling in their hearts and looked back together.

I saw that on the tree of wisdom, the green fruits were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That should be the solution to the puzzle." Lu Ze muttered.

"Shall we meet Sarah now?" Lu Li looked excited.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice just yet. Think about it, why would Sarah's puzzle lead us to break the rules of this utopia? Does this mean that Sarah is against eternal life......"

Lu Ze didn't go on, because that kind of speculation was too terrifying.

If yes......

What would Sarah think of Lu Li?

Could Sarah, the founder of The Garden, not know about the research Alice is conducting?

What is her relationship with Alice?

……

That's when it happened.

A pure white figure appeared under the Tree of Wisdom.

Then a heavenly voice sounded.

- "Yes, eternal life itself is an evil. ”
