"It's ...... What did you build? ”

Although he already knew the answer in his heart, Wu Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, Wu Xiaoqing is on a street, this street looks like an ordinary street in a European country on the earth, some people are walking around on the street, there are not many people, and the expressions on the faces of these people are very relaxed.

Wu Xiaoqing carefully looked at the faces of each of them, and was sure that they were all European and American, and there was a considerable difference between them and Asians.

"They really ...... Is it made from my genes? ”

"It's a reference," A explains, "simulating your DNA, including the origin and future evolution of this information, with a little modification and tweaking after understanding its mechanism. ”

When passing a street sign, Wu Xiaoqing saw the words on the street sign, but he paused at the words: "What kind of text is this?" ”

"It shouldn't be the language of any of your countries on Earth."

"But isn't this a museum?"

"Yes, it's a museum, but your civilization still exists," A said, "so all this that is being built now is just some kind of simulation of your civilization, not completely realistic." In this way, if our civilization encounters any accidents, no civilization will be able to find your existence from these simulations. ”

These words made Wu Xiaoqing a little inexplicably moved, but he quickly heard some extraneous voices from these words-even Civilization A didn't seem to be particularly confident in the survival of their own civilization.

"In the universe, it is difficult to predict the rise and fall of civilizations......

Wu Xiaoqing raised his head and saw the sun overhead, the size and intensity of the sunlight, and the blue sky, which made Wu Xiaoqing realize that this was definitely not reality.

"Yes, we are in the virtual world, similar to the virtual world you see in the Federation, but we simulate better than them, strictly speaking, all the physical rules here are reasonable, at least, in the knowledge structure of your earthlings, it is reasonable."

"Could it be that you simulated the entire universe?" Wu Xiaoqing said, "I've heard of a theory...... It is said that the more information the simulated world is, the greater the quality of the necessary materials that need to be used...... You can't simulate the whole universe. ”

"Of course, but it's just a museum...... You've seen your museums too, and you know what they're like, right? By the way, this is for you, it can be regarded as a visiting tool. ”

Wu Xiaoqing took a thing exactly the same as the Apple mobile phone from A, and after opening it, he found that there was nothing on the interface, as long as there was a straight line, and there was a small dot on it, which was slowly moving forward along the straight line.

"That's the timeline of the simulation," A said, "and we're only going to be able to simulate the period where you have research, from the time humans came out of Africa 6 million years ago, to the present." ”

Wu Xiaoqing slid lightly on the timeline with one hand, the streets and scenery in front of him changed rapidly, the sun and the starry sky above his head quickly alternated, and the people on these streets in front of him shuttled like shadows, he secretly counted the frequency of light and dark alternation in his heart, and calculated that seven days had passed since this light movement.

His men subconsciously continued to the front of the timeline, but the scene in front of them stopped without the slightest change.

"A simulation of the future of your civilization...... This is the greatest secret of our civilization, so we can only recall, not look forward to. ”

"Oh, is there any reason for that?"

"The reason is simple," says A, "because you can easily get certain elements of our simulated civilization from our simulations...... These elements are the result of our observation of all other civilizations in this universe and are the top secrets of our civilization...... This is almost the core of our civilization, the greatest basis for us to reinvent ourselves and treat other civilizations. ”

Wu Xiaoqing nodded, expressing understanding, he lowered his head and quickly pulled the progress bar back.

In the middle of the stop, he would stop and look at the whole town, and he could clearly see everything he saw in front of him, and all the details were coherent.

The garbage cans on the streets would be filled with different people, holding different garbage bags, and then carried away by the cleaners; The shops on the side of the road will open and close on time, and even when the doors are opened and closed every day, there are slight differences in the content of each other's conversations; The weather can change in the sky, and there are two light rains, and pedestrians on the street have umbrellas, and children are scurrying around in the rain......

All these details show that everything here seems to be really calculated and deduced in some way, as A says, and not just a simple simulation.

Time passed quickly, and unconsciously came to ten years ago, Wu Xiaoqing found that the mobile phones in everyone's hands began to become the kind of old-fashioned keyboard mobile phones, and he saw a few young faces with impressions in front of him, and they also became teenagers and children; There have also been slight changes in the appearance of the streets, as have the lawns and houses on both sides of the road......

Wu Xiaoqing narrowed down the timeline to make adjustments on a larger scale.

The scene in front of him suddenly accelerated, and suddenly Wu Xiaoqing felt a flash of fire in front of him, he quickly stopped the movements in his hands, and then was surprised to find that there were soldiers in front of him.

Tanks drove through the streets, and queues in military uniforms passed through the town, and the houses on either side were covered with flags of a strange symbol — not the historical Nazi flag, which Wu Xiaoqing was completely unfamiliar with. But this army gave Wu Xiaoqing the feeling that it was clearly a Nazi army in history. -- The accumulation of social problems leads to extremist currents of thought, which manifest themselves into wars.

After a little adjustment around this period of time, Wu Xiaoqing successfully saw a few wars, but the main battlefield was not in the town, he could only judge that the battlefield should be near the town through the surrounding firelight, the vibration of the ground, and the sound of cannons.

Then the wounded were carried in, covered in blood, the expressions and movements of the wounded before they died, wailing and trembling...... Seeing Wu Xiaoqing's heart, he felt a chill.

The hands continue to move forward, and time is quickly reversed.

The buildings of the town became less and less, and from a town to a village. The traffic on the road disappeared and was replaced by horses and mules.

Soon the streets disappeared, along with the roads, and the villages began to become thin, and grass grew on both sides of the roads, and fields appeared. The few families that work during the day and sleep at night are the only ones who work......

Time began to rewind to the Middle Ages, because the area they were in was relatively remote, so even though Wu Xiaoqing sped up, the picture began to become more and more monotonous. Very few people passed by the area they were in, and the only change Wu Xiaoqing could see, apart from the alternation of day and night overhead, was the rapid growth of crops nearby.

Wu Xiaoqing sped up his movement with some impatience, and the repetition rate began to get higher and higher, I don't know how long it took, until the surrounding farmland also began to disappear and became a complete wilderness.

The only things that began to appear in the field of vision were some wild beasts and passing predators.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't continue to pull forward, because he could probably imagine what would happen after that.

Wu Xiaoqing let out a long sigh: "It seems that you really have a complete understanding of the earth. ”

In science, there is a saying that if the data is accurate enough and the model is accurate enough, theoretically any phenomenon in this universe can be repeated.

There have always been two theories about history on the earth, one is that all history is the result of countless accidental collisions, and the other is that history has its own laws, and all historical phenomena are just the result of repeated evolution along the laws. Because history itself is only once, it is never possible to really say that the two statements are right or wrong.

But as far as Wu Xiaoqing is concerned, he still prefers the latter, because this view at least holds that the laws of history can be recognized, which is a relatively positive conclusion.

Now, from the things he saw in front of him, Wu Xiaoqing felt that this controversy had come to a conclusion.

At least, in the eyes of civilization A, there may be no mystery in the history of earthlings at all, as long as they want, they can deduce it at any time, just like what they see now.

When people look at their own history, they will always feel that there are many mysterious and ambiguous places, Wu Xiaoqing believes that the current A civilization, looking at the history of civilization on the entire earth, is like using X-rays to look at a person's internal organs, at a glance.

Museum...... Museum of Civilization......

Wu Xiaoqing only now realizes what this museum really means.

From a single hair, they can see through the most essential things of a civilization and reproduce everything that this civilization has experienced in the virtual world......

This is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that Wu Xiaoqing has no power to see, it is the future of this civilization.

Wu Xiaoqing had been a staunch materialist since the operation, but now, for the first time, he felt shaken - what else is impossible under the technological power of civilization A?

They can easily determine the future of a civilization, and in a sense, they are gods.

"It's not hard to understand a civilization," says A, "the cost is low, it's really hard to choose what kind of civilization it is." This time I came to look for you, in fact, there is one more question that needs to be asked to you. ”

"Do you have any questions for me?" Wu Xiaoqing looked at A and said with a wry smile, "What? ”

"I know that you are now a member of the search and rescue team civilization, and now you must have understood the nature of the search and rescue team civilization, and I believe that after experiencing this mission, you also have a certain understanding of the civilization ecology of the entire universe. My question is very simple, after understanding this, do you still think that the civilized form of search and rescue team is feasible and reasonable? ”
