Shen Changwen, who was in the main control room, nodded: "Then once the symptoms appear, it will be a terminal illness if it is found again, what you said is that there needs to be some kind of feedback mechanism." ”

"Yes," Wu Xiaoqing said, "that's probably what the Collectors meant—of course, he didn't tell me about it directly." ”

But for a long time, finding the principle and mechanism of rebirth on this planet has been the goal of the search and rescue team. This is a bit counterintuitive - since respawn is not directly related to the task, and even if it is, its presence is more of a positive factor for the task. ”

"Only when people die can be resurrected, our long-term siege tactics have a strategic advantage, and we use nuclear bombs without considering the moral cost......"

"As you mentioned earlier, this civilization is an emasculated, incomplete civilization, and I feel the same way about this definition. But I don't think the castration is due to a defect in their own physical function or mental self-confidence......"

"It's a more important part for the individual, or for civilization, and it's also related to rebirth—the perception of death."

On this topic, Wu Xiaoqing has had very detailed thoughts, part of these thoughts come from Rao Xin's materials, about the ways and means of defining civilization, and the other part also comes from Wu Xiaoqing's own experience, which he gradually accumulated in the process of performing tasks, and the impression formed at the sensory level of these people in the Ascension Realm:

"In my opinion, the greatest flaw of this civilization is the lack of awareness of death itself, or rather, the lack of serious cognition......"

"Why would these flying men be willing to do nothing, waste thousands of years of time, and spend all day practicing swords? In such a long time in the Ascension Realm, has anyone ever heard the people here sing? Ever chanted poetry? Have you seen any cultural symbols of special significance inside the building? Like paintings, sculptures, or other things......"

"It stands to reason that for an immortal civilization, they have a lot of time to do these things. But there is no ......"

"Even the written texts are poor and narrow in content, as linguistic studies have pointed out that their vocabulary is only about ...... of ancient civilizations"

"On a spiritual level, these flyers are not even as creative as some primitive people."

"The biggest reason for this phenomenon is the culture of death on the planet."

"Plato famously said that philosophy is the practice of death."

"On Earth, it is precisely because each of us will inevitably die that life itself has become an incomparably precious finite experience."

"It can be said that all the cultures we have built have their roots in the fear of death. It's really because I'm afraid of death, so I want to live a wonderful life, so I want to leave something in this world......"

"Professor Shen, you should remember to know that the primitive people we rescued at the earliest, when they got to the witch in the cave, they knew how to paint murals, and they had to draw down the things they had experienced—these experiences were not only the spiritual heritage left to the tribe, but also the traces they had left in this world."

"But what about these flyers? Each of them had died so many times, but no one had ever ...... Or rather, very few people try to record something. ”

"There have been so many major events in this world, and every time the battery is grabbed, it's like a world war...... But we can hardly find any record other than dictation. ”

"The reason is simple, because they don't have this spiritual need."

"They clearly know that they can live after they die - since they can live no matter what, then all the possibilities are still there, and it doesn't matter what the current state is."

"And that's actually very important – for individuals with a finite lifespan, time has a huge cost, and with that cost, we want to try to save that cost in some way, even if it's just a little bit."

"But for the flyers, the cost of death is almost zero, and their lifespan is eternal – maybe not practically, but in everyone's consciousness, that's what they think. In other words, on average to a fixed period of time, their cost is infinitely close to 0 - so they don't feel sorry for how much they waste. ”

In the main control room, after listening to Wang Youquan and Xu Yan, they almost subconsciously wanted to laugh.

But when he turned his head to look at Yevgeny and Shen Changwen, he couldn't help but shut his mouth again.

Obviously, these two experts felt that what Wu Xiaoqing said was not unreasonable, but to them, the whole suggestion was very funny - such a good thing as people not dying can be said to be flawed?

Wu Xiaoqing's fundamentals, obviously, must be envy, jealousy and hatred!

Not to mention, in private, Wang Youquan and Xu Yan really discussed this issue.

Of course, what Wang Youquan and Xu Yan care about is not the life and death of the Ascension Realm civilization, but the work benefits that are actually related to them - since the flying people here can live forever, can you ask the collection team and help them do it, do an operation or something...... You don't have to learn to charge or anything, as long as you can live when you die, it's better than anything else.

The two of them were only in the gestation stage, and when they were ready to take time, they brought it up with the two experts together - and then relayed it to the search and rescue team through the two of them.

In the eyes of Wang Youquan and Xu Yan, these two old men, who are over 60 years old, will be the people who care most about this topic, and they are the core figures in the team.

If only it could really live forever...... Then they're making a lot of money. Even if you can't live forever, it's good to prolong your life......

But now, the two experts seemed to be moved by Wu Xiaoqing's words, and began to discuss each other in a whisper. Wang Youquan leaned over and listened to a few sentences, he could understand all the words, the words were in a correct tone, and each one was a serious Mandarin, after all, he was teaching in a university. But what do these words mean, but it is too difficult for the king to have everything......

The two of them had no choice but to stare at the picture sent back by Wu Xiaoqing - they couldn't understand the words, but the picture was still simple and clear.

The whole island is cut in the same way as a chef in a restaurant cutting watermelon - it's different from cutting watermelon at home.

Ordinary people eat watermelon by themselves, take a knife in the middle, if there are few people, take a spoon and dig it directly to eat, if there are many people, cut it into a fan, the size depends on the mood. If you want to be a little more elegant, cut it smaller, and if you want to be bold, cut it bigger - it's a big deal to take a watermelon rind and wash your face by the way when you eat it at the end.

But in the restaurant, before the watermelon is cut, the chef has already determined the shape of the watermelon on the plate in the future - it must be a standard thin slice to ensure that guests can eat a small slice of watermelon, which not only seems to be a lot of watermelon, but also convenient to eat.

In order to achieve this effect, watermelons are often cut on the long side of the oval as they would at home, but on the short side, and then the remaining parts are cut into even parts one by one......

What short-haired customers are doing right now, exactly that's it.

The shape of the whole island looks more like an ellipse, but it is flatter than a regular watermelon, and more like the shape of a rugby ball.

The red laser cuts down the long axis, but instead of cutting it off completely, it retains quite a few connected parts in the middle. So some parts of the island have cracked, but the structure of the island has not fallen apart. The purpose of this is, of course, to prevent this huge island from becoming uncontrolled during the cutting process, creating unnecessary risks.

After the cutting of the long axis, the short-haired man began to peel off part of the structure of the island along the short axis, piece by piece.

The size of each piece is several kilometers long and wide, and the thickness is only a dozen meters.

Before each small piece is cut off, the short-haired guest will call four or five people from Qianyangmen in advance, and ask them to use flying swords to fix the surrounding and center of this piece of "watermelon" respectively, and after this small piece is completely cut, let them start the flying sword together.

After that, these five flying swords were like pilot ships in five harbors, dragging their targets and easily towing them in the direction of the periphery.

After leaving a few hundred meters, the flying sword will return again and continue to guide the next ...... Wu Xiaoqing didn't care what happened to the "construction waste", and many of the cut flakes quickly collided with each other at different speeds and piled up into strange shapes, but those were already kilometers away.

Soon, around the original island, the small pieces of the island that were cut off became more and more original, and from a distance, these large fan-shaped objects looked like slices of bread floating in the air one after another, while at the same time, the island itself began to become smaller and smaller.

After more than three hours, the place where the original island existed was almost blank, and around them, in the originally empty space, there were hundreds of brand-new flaky "islands".

The first part of them to be cut has stopped more than ten kilometers away, but the cut part is still passing along the inertia towards the distance, and the collision along the way naturally produces particle dust and pollution along the way...... At least in Wu Xiaoqing's field of vision, the area that was originally quite comfortable around has now appeared in a large area of gray haze.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a chengguan in this world, otherwise their actions would definitely be defined as illegal disposal of construction waste.

"All done?" Subtitles appear in the glasses.

"That's right," Wu Xiaoqing said, "I'm looking for you." ”

Wu Xiaoqing pointed to the last remaining part of the entire island in front of them—it was a cubic metal structure that surrounded the invisible target area.

Wu Xiaoqing stood in front of it, feeling like he was looking at a building that had been abandoned and was ready to be blasted at any moment.

On the exterior wall of the building, you can clearly see the neat traces of the laser pointed by Qianyang, which has been scanned - Wu Xiaoqing knows that it is just a normal phenomenon when the metal is melted at high temperature and cooled in place.

But this time, he still had the illusion that he was facing a living thing, and every trace seemed to be the healed scar of this huge creature.

This huge cube now has only one entrance, which was cut by the short-haired customer before, a standard round window. Wu Xiaoqing zoomed in on the image at the window, but he couldn't see anything - it was still pitch black inside.

In the past, the functions of using glasses were assisted by search and rescue teams, and the functions were automatically called.

But this time, Wu Xiaoqing began to try to debug it himself. The glasses can detect the movement of a person's eyes - he only needs to look at his eyes, and he can easily control its movement.

There are many functions of glasses to collect information, such as conventional optical information, advanced thermal motion analysis, which can be understood as a black technology version of infrared sensing, and then structural analysis of unknown principles, and even spatial dimension analysis......

That is, in front of this glass, even if it is a part of the high-dimensional world, it can be correctly recognized. Of course, here, you don't need that much high-end functionality.

In fact, just through structural analysis, Wu Xiaoqing easily looked at everything contained in the dark circular window in front of him.

Wu Xiaoqing's mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't help but say something, but his mouth just moved, but no sound leaked out of it.

"Wu Xiaoqing, what did you see?" Shen Changwen in the main control room couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't answer, he was still watching.

Half a minute later, Yevgeny couldn't help but ask again in Russian.

Wu Xiaoqing still didn't answer, and his attention at the moment was obviously no longer in the building in front of him.
