"Uh...... Speaking up, how do you know I can't help? ”

Sikong Yao persuaded Master Meng like this, but he only smiled lightly, unwilling to reveal his thoughts.

Meng Shi said: "Sikong Yao, it's almost time, it's time for me to go offline." ”

Sikong Yao noticed a faint sadness in his words, presumably because he was worried, but he couldn't think through it, and he didn't dare to continue to ask, so he just said softly: "Okay, then I'll play around again." ”

Meng Shi put away his sadness in a moment, put on a docile smile again, and said softly: "Don't be too late, remember to go back to eat." ”

After Master Meng left, Sikong Yao found a place in the novice village to sit down in the breeze and look up at the starry sky.

Sikong Yao muttered, "Holy recipe...... It seems to be a lot of fun. ”

Suddenly, a person walked up, walking softly, it was Sikong Yi.

Sikong Yao walked over, Sikong Yao knew what he wanted to say, she stared at the stars, enjoying the last moment of peace.

The uncle and nephew sat and stood together, no one spoke, and after a long silence, Sikong Yi also sat down.

"Xiao Yao......" Sikong Yi tried to talk.

"I don't listen, I know what you're going to say." Sikong Yao rejected him outright.

Sikong Yi sighed helplessly, his face was still kind, and he was obviously helpless against his somewhat rebellious niece.

Sikong Yi continued to try and changed the topic.

"Do you remember the chef I told you about?"

"Is it the one that is known as the 'Future of the Heart of the Holy Food'?" Sikong Yao replied casually.

Sikong Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I just didn't expect you to know him." ”

Sikong Yao was puzzled and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's that Master Meng."

Sikong Yao was a little surprised, and continued to ask, "Master Meng? No, I know he's a great cooker, but what's the future of the Heart of Sacred Food? ”

Sikong Yi said: "Because he has the holy recipe." ”

The night breeze penetrated into her clothes, a little cool, and Sikong Yao was a little dazed for a while.

"Holy Recipe, uncle, do you also know Holy Recipe?" Sikong Yao asked.

Sikong Yi nodded and said, "Of course, the Holy Recipe is the future of the entire game, and it is also our future. ”

"Our future? You mean, human? Sikong Yao was a little stunned.

Sikong Yi continued: "Xiao Yao, there will always be a day when the resources of our earth will be exploited, at that time, what should we do? ”

Sikong Yao calmly didn't know, and said, "Move to another planet, or mine renewable energy or something." ”

Sikong Yi couldn't deny her answer, but it was obviously not what he wanted, Sikong Yi continued to ask: "Energy can be developed, but what about food?" ”

Sikong Yao didn't answer, lowered his head and pondered, this is a question that no one can answer.

Sikong Yi sighed and said, "The four seasons change, eternal and unchanging, and change is always the theme of this world. Due to the wanton exploitation of energy by human beings, which has exacerbated the pressure on the earth's environment, it is speculated that the earth is about to usher in the fifth glacial period, when glaciers will cover all the geology on a large scale, all things will not grow, grass will not grow, and human beings will usher in the end of the world, just like the extinction of dinosaurs. ”

Sikong Yao was stunned in his heart, but he didn't understand what Sikong Yi wanted to say.

Sikong Yao's confusion was written on his face, Sikong Yi saw it, and he continued: "Scientists in the world can be divided into two kinds. One is to firmly believe in the way of getting along with nature, to use artificial power to make adjustments, and to seek a way to live in peace with nature, which is a positive and progressive group. But there is another kind of scientist who, in obedience to providence and in the belief that natural variables cannot be disobeyed, deals with the future in other ways. There is a group of people who belong to the latter group, they are convinced that the end of the glacier is irresistible, but they are also trying to find a way to survive, and food is their foothold. ”

Sikong Yao vaguely sensed something, a little incredulous, and asked, "The Heart of the Holy Food?" ”

Sikong Yi nodded and continued, "That's right, it's the Heart of Holy Food. The purpose of the developers is to create another world in which people can live. You know, in this game, eating is really filling. ”

Sikong Yao denied his statement: "No, that's just an illusion, in the real world, our bodies still can't be satisfied." ”

Sikong Yi laughed, and he asked, "Then if we don't go back to the real world, we can get eternal life here." If it weren't for the 72-hour forced offline setting, we could have stayed here forever. ”

Sikong Yao was stunned, obviously she had never thought about such a question.

But then she retorted, "But if our bodies don't get nourishment in the real world, one day we'll die with it." ”

Sikong Yi nodded and said, "That's right, so this is back to our original topic." ”

Sikong Yao asked, "You mean the holy recipe?" ”

Sikong Yi was very satisfied with her comprehension, and continued: "That's right, it's the Holy Recipe. The operators of the Heart of the Holy Food are supported by a group of scientists who are trying to perpetuate sentient perception through means such as source code and the like. In other words, even if your body dies, your will can still exist, and it is in the heart of the Holy Food. ”

Sikong Yao took a deep breath, all this was beyond her acceptance.

Sikong Yi raised his head, pointed to the stars, and said, "Just like these jumping stars, some of them have disappeared for millions of years. Stars collapse and are destroyed, emitting intense light that has been transmitted over a long period of time, and their very bodies have long since died. Just like the sun, if the sun suddenly disappears, then it will take at least 8 minutes for humans on Earth to feel it, because the speed of light propagation is still the distance between the Earth and the Sun. ”

"Incredible, you mean that human consciousness can exist without **? There is no carrier, only a container, and this container is the heart of the Holy Food? Sikong Yao put forward his own conjecture.

Sikong Yi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You finally understand." That's what the Heart of Sacred Food is all about. ”

The Heart of the Holy Food, a holographic game, with the theme of cooking, without any means of profit, the income from the sale of activation codes is used for scientific research and development, and strives for the immortality of all mankind.

It's another form of philanthropy, and it's so shocking. And all the players are the fundraisers of the public welfare fund.

Thinking like this, Sikong Yao suddenly became excited, as if he was a savior.

She said excitedly to Sikong Yi: "Uncle, aren't we the first executors of this great scientific research?" ”

Sikong Yi shook his head lightly and waved her to sit down.

"No, it's just a beautiful conjecture, and with the current level of technology, it's not enough to achieve such a transformation," he said. ”

Sikong Yao immediately reacted, if such scientific research is successful, it will definitely cause fierce debate all over the world. But judging by the current world situation, it is clear that there is not.

Sikong Yao sat down again and said leisurely, "Okay, what about the holy recipe?" ”

Sikong Yi explained: "The holy recipe is the key to realizing the conjecture. The dishes recorded in the Holy Recipe are absolutely uncookable. The Holy Recipe is actually a bug in the game's programming and the existence of an unknown program, but it has been added with a decoration, that is, a layer of disguise. For players, collecting enough ingredients and then executing the cooking is just a reliance on data, the final product of code execution, and they don't need to do it themselves. For the research team, however, this is a process of verifying the feasibility of the procedure. In other words, if the holy recipe can be collected and executed smoothly, it will greatly help scientists advance the realization of this immortality plan. ”

Sikong Yao was confused when he heard this, but summed up the most simple and clear statement: "What does Uncle mean that as long as all the holy recipes are collected, then this immortality plan can be realized?" ”

"It's a bit off, but that's pretty much it." Sikong Yi agreed with her.

Sikong Yao looked at the holy recipe on the backpack interface, as if he was looking at the key that opened the door to human survival.

Sikong Yao was excited, and finally asked, "Uncle, how do you know this?" ”

Sikong Yi explained: "Actually, this conjecture was put forward by my uncle, when I was studying in the United States in the early years. The operator behind the game is my college friend from the United States. ”

Sikong Yao jumped up from the ground almost instantly, unable to believe his ears.

Her voice was full of admiration, "Uncle, you mean, such a great conjecture was actually put forward by you?" ”

Sikong Yi nodded and dragged out his hardships.

"Xiao Yao, do you know why I became the village chief in the Novice Village?"

Sikong Yao shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

Sikong Yi explained: "One person's power is limited, I can't complete this whole plan on my own, I need help, I need someone to help me complete the collection of holy recipes." That's why I chose to stay here and tell every player who enters the main city to open the door to the future of humanity. ”

Sikong Yao said enviously: "Uncle, you are really great, can you talk about this conjecture specifically?" ”

Sikong Yi smiled and nodded, motioning for Sikong Yao to sit down.

Under the starry sky, Sikong Yi told the original intention of revenge and conjecture when he was young.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, the nightingale broke its cry, and the cicadas hizzed their chirping.

Under the cover of night, Sikong Yi spoke energetically, and the scenes of his youth kept coming to mind.

I don't know how long it took, Sikong Yi suddenly felt a little depressed, and found that Sikong Yao had already fallen asleep against the big tree.

Sikong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "It's fun to talk about, but I forgot the time." ”

Players who have been asleep for half an hour will automatically log out of the game, and when Sikong Yao wakes up, he is already lying on his own bed. Guo Mingying was glaring at her.
