The search and rescue team knew that he would never be able to convince Wu Xiaoqing on this issue again.

Probably, in the minds of the search and rescue team, they have never really prepared for this possibility.

Since the search and rescue team came to Earth, up to now, the search and rescue team knows that in fact, everything they do, in Wu Xiaoqing's words just now, is a habit and an inertia.

It seems that as long as he is still saving civilization, it seems that as long as he is still busy all day long, the great civilization that gave birth to him is still there, and the search and rescue team civilization is still shining in this small corner of the universe......

But in the depths of his mind, the search and rescue team has long known that this great civilization is actually gone, no matter how willing he is to insist here, if he is not there, he is gone, just like those other civilizations he has seen, countless other civilizations destroyed in various situations, disappeared forever, only a part of this civilization, still staying in his own memory, staying in his own behavior pattern......

Through these actions, it is true that he can reproduce a little bit of the glory of the search and rescue team's civilization, but this is at the cost of his life and that of other members, such a brilliance...... In fact, the significance is very small, and this meaning is not for those who are rescued, but for the search and rescue team to civilize themselves, as well as other participants.

For Wu Xiaoqing, they may still feel excited in the first two times, but they will ...... later. The contact with the higher level of civilization will often have a greater impact on ordinary earthlings like Wu Xiaoqing, in terms of spirituality and values...... This mission of the Federation is already very illustrative.

If all this sacrifice is for a noble and bright reason, then no matter how difficult it is, at least Wu Xiaoqing and they can still accept it. But what if it's just a nostalgia, or rather, just an inertia of life? I'm afraid it's not so easy to understand and accept.

Wu Xiaoqing made the choice now, and the search and rescue team is the most understanding person - he knows what kind of quality is needed for this job, and what kind of premise.

What's more:

- In any case, with "Wu Xiaoqing", he has prepared a way for the search and rescue team to continue the civilization, so he can also be willful occasionally, right?

- In any case, contributing to the "Wu Xiaoqing", Wu Xiaoqing has made a great contribution to the civilization of the search and rescue team, so he, who is almost unaware, is also qualified to enjoy willfulness, right?

——Although in the universe, Wu Xiaoqing's ideas, the decisions he will make soon, and the models he wants to create are widely regarded as naïve and dangerous, aren't there also civilizations as ancient, powerful, and great as the search and rescue team civilization that have persevered?

- So......

"Of course I agree," the search and rescue team replied, "actually...... This theory, in our civilization, has a similar formulation, and a long time ago, it was also a kind of value benchmark when we carried out our tasks. ”

"Since you agree, you know that if we continue like this...... We can only have one ending. This ending may be what you want...... But, it's so unfair to us. ”

The search and rescue team did not refute Wu Xiaoqing's words, because he knew that if there was no appearance of "Wu Xiaoqing", Wu Xiaoqing would be right.

To a certain extent, the biggest immorality of the search and rescue team since it appeared on the earth is actually the use of Wu Xiaoqing and a few of them. Of course, several of them were also willing to be used, at least at the beginning, it was an exchange of interests between them.

After the Ascension Realm mission, after Wu Xiaoqing underwent surgery, this exchange had actually changed its nature, and from that time on, whether it was Wu Xiaoqing or several other people in the team, they began to have stronger motivations to participate in the action - the root of these motivations was their curiosity about the entire cosmic civilization, but in essence, it was also an expectation of the wider world.

"Looks like you have some ideas? Let's talk about it. ”

Wu Xiaoqing raised his head in disbelief: "What do you mean?" Are you thinking about changing your mind? ”

"Yes, I think about it." The search and rescue team replied.

"That's enough...... Wu Xiaoqing sat down again and said excitedly, "As long as you are willing to change...... I believe that everything is not a problem. ”

Wu Xiaoqing was in the warehouse that day, staying for a whole day, plus an all-nighter.

The next day, he brought Shen Changwen with him, and the three of them chatted for two whole days.

Two days later, Shen Changwen and Wu Xiaoqing went to the dormitory and continued there. Sometimes they chatted and talked for hours on end, and sometimes they seemed to be unable to see each other, silently alone in a daze.

Before you know it, a week has passed.

Their discussions have yielded a lot of results in the course of a week, and some of the consensus needs to be announced at this meeting.

This meeting can be regarded as an expanded meeting of this discussion, but the main direction of discussion is no longer the key content of the previous three discussions, but many minor technical details.

"What are you going to change? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? After hearing Wu Xiaoqing explain the ins and outs, Yevgeny was a little anxious and couldn't help it.

"To put it bluntly, there is actually only one point," Mr. Wu said, "and the scope of communication and influence between us and other civilizations can now be further expanded." ”

"Further expansion? Other civilizations? Yevgeny didn't understand too much, "After that we want to save the civilization?" I think we've been able to communicate well enough. ”

"No, it's not enough......," Wu Xiaoqing said, "Now, the first thing we need to do is to visit these civilizations that we have saved, we have helped them, and now, we need them to reciprocate." Simple, unconditional salvation...... It's not a long-term solution. ”

The meeting lasted all day.

As with other consultation sessions before, Xu Yan didn't understand what was going on from beginning to end.

Of course, Wang Youquan is too.

But the two of them are happy, Xu Yan feels as if he has returned to a certain slice of life in the past - after a long meeting, although he has no understanding of the content of the meeting at all, his whole brain began to work hard, and began to have many inexplicable beautiful fantasies about the future that should be mediocre.

"What the search and rescue team means, from today onwards, we are all the same as Wu Xiaoqing? Going it alone? ”

"I think that's pretty much what it means," Wang Youquan nodded, and then looked around sneakily, and after making sure that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said, "I think this time it must be the idea of the search and rescue team, is it to give us a chance?" ”

"Tell me about it." Xu Yan's eyes were also full of excitement.

"You see, this time, let the four of us go to the four mission points we have done before to carry out the mission. I'm going to the primitives, you go to that Elis, Lao Ye goes to the Ascension Realm, and Shen Changwen has to go to the Federation...... Doesn't that make us compete? See who performs better. ”

"Anyone can see this," Xu Yan said, "and the key question now is how we compare two professors...... We're pretty much better than each other. ”

"That's not necessarily," Wang Youquan muttered, "Didn't you hear from the search and rescue team?" This is a mission that each of us can take responsibility for individually...... Alone in charge, you know? We can find our own experts and hold our own consultation meetings! Is there anything we don't understand, and we don't ask those experts? We don't understand, but please understand. What's so strange about professors, are there still fewer professors we have seen at the company's consulting meeting? Many people are much more famous than Lao Shen and Lao Yeke. ”

"Yes...... We don't know who we're going to invite. ”

"I'll just say you don't know what a counseling session is...... Wang Youquan said, "We can ask someone to consult first, who should we contact for this kind of problem...... By the way, the most critical issue is money, it depends on whether Wu Xiaoqing will card us on the money at that time. ”

"Why, do you doubt he's going to be towards the two professors?"

"That's for sure," Wang Youquan recorded Wu Xiaoqing's words at the meeting on his mobile phone and showed it to Xu Yan, "'Of course, all the expenses must be summarized to me, and only after approval can it be passed, many questions may not be understood by yourself, but you have to find a way to figure it out yourself." 'Hear me, that's for the two of us. Will two professors not understand? ”

"What then?"

"Hey...... I'll tell you......"

……

At the end of the meeting, everyone left one after another, leaving only Wu Xiaoqing in the conference room, he turned on the lights in the conference room and turned off the computer. I was thinking about whether to go down and eat something, but I felt like I was losing my energy.

It was as if all the energy of the whole body had been used up in the meeting just now.

After ordering a takeaway with his mobile phone, Wu Xiaoqing opened the curtains, and through the glass curtain wall, he could see that the city under his feet was already lit up.

"Look at the way you look...... Don't you feel as confident as you were when you had a meeting just now? "It's the voice of the search and rescue team.

"To be honest, I've already regretted it a little now......" Wu Xiaoqing shook his head and smiled again, "But it's too late." What about you, big brother, you don't regret it? ”

"Regret this emotion...... It belongs only to you humans, and we have long recognized that this is unnecessary. We could have regretted it at any time during the discussion period, but we didn't do that. Right now...... We're just afraid of failure. ”

"Yes, I'm afraid of failure," Wu Xiaoqing said, "If such a great civilization as the search and rescue team finally fails by a few of us earthlings, do you feel ...... Ridiculous? ”

"With a few of you who don't have that kind of energy," the search and rescue team said, "all civilizations are self-destructive...... The failure of our civilization is made up of thousands of individuals like me, and if we want to talk about responsibility, it is also thousands of us...... What does it have to do with you? In fact, the real search and rescue team civilization has disappeared from today, and we are just inheriting its last bit of legacy, trying to do something different with it. ”

"Do you think we have a good chance of success?"

"I don't know," the search and rescue team said, "if you can see A later, you can ask him, maybe they can figure it out." ”

"Why, you also believe in them and tell fortunes for civilization?"

"Civilization Simulation...... We've done it before, and it's really useful for quite a few civilizations. To a large extent, it is also the screening criterion for many of our search and rescue missions. ”

"Then you didn't count yourself as hanging?"

"As long as the model of a civilization is fixed, this civilization is already doomed to death, it is only a matter of time," the tone of the search and rescue team suddenly became sad, "It's just that a civilization that is rational enough will change itself and change its form of civilization before it dies, and it is not rational enough...... tends to choose foolish persistence. ”

Wu Xiaoqing still hasn't figured it out: "It stands to reason that your civilization is here to save other civilizations, and the relationship with other civilizations must be particularly good...... How did it end up like this? And among the civilizations you have saved, there is also a super civilization like civilization A......"

"But you also saw that in fact, A's civilization ...... We are not uncommon at all. The search and rescue team recalled, "Saving civilization...... There is a special paradox, that is, the more developed civilization, the less likely it will remember the kindness that was saved, and on the contrary, the more underdeveloped civilization, when it encounters its own difficulties, it will often habitually turn to organizations like ours for help. ”

"It's like poverty alleviation...... The more you get helped, the poorer you get. ”

"Almost...... It is precisely because of this that we have strictly forbidden to have deep communication with the rescued civilization...... Because it is likely to give the other side a similar excuse. ”

"But it doesn't seem to have much effect......," Wu Xiaoqing wondered, "But in my opinion, even if the rescue doesn't pay off, it won't have much to do with the decline of your civilization itself?" When civilization reaches your level, it should be able to run rampant in the entire universe, right? ”

"Running through the universe?" The search and rescue team smiled rarely, "Do you think like this too?" ”

"What? Is there something wrong? Technology ...... across space In this respect, you are gods to the lower civilizations. ”

"Then there are too many gods in this universe," said the search and rescue team...... "Your kind of thinking is like people on the earth looking at those philanthropists, although philanthropists are rich and rich, and their own prosperity is not a big problem, but do you think that philanthropists can run rampant on the whole earth?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head.

"The relationship between civilizations in the universe is more complicated than you think," the search and rescue team said, "and if I say it again, if you go back to fifty or sixty years ago, when Americans came to China to do charity, do you think it is possible?" ”

Fifty or sixty years ago, the Earth was in the pattern of the Cold War...... Do charity? Ghost believes! That must be a capitalist conspiracy!

"Ideological strife not only exists on the earth, but is more intense in the universe, just as every country and nation on the earth has the desire to stand on its own, and in the universe, as long as it is a civilization, it will inevitably put forward some unique values that only belong to this civilization! Mature civilizations survive to the end, and it is often these values that distinguish each other. In order to preserve the uniqueness of these values...... Civilization can pay any price. But again, once they decide that someone is deliberately destroying that uniqueness......"

Wu Xiaoqing only understands now.

In a word, there is no medical license in the universe, it does not mean that a civilization is willing to save people, so it can do so...... The associated issues and misunderstandings that may arise behind this may be more troublesome than the saved civilization itself.

And the search and rescue team civilization is a civilization with saving civilization as the core value...... So, decline is inevitable.

This conclusion somewhat surprised Wu Xiaoqing, he originally thought that the search and rescue team civilization fell to this day, a large reason is because the relationship between civilizations is too realistic, resulting in good people not being rewarded. But now it seems that the search and rescue team civilization is too naïve and enthusiastic......

"Misunderstandings aren't the most troublesome, sometimes...... There will be some civilizations, and they will deliberately filter and destroy some civilizations based on their own values...... In the face of such a civilization, there is only no doubt about war between us. ”

Wu Xiaoqing's mobile phone rang at this time, and he picked it up, it was the courier who delivered the takeaway: "...... Right at the door of your company. ”

Wu Xiaoqing went over to take it, and after a while, he took it back, and when he opened it, he said, "Listen to what you say...... That's what we're doing now...... There doesn't seem to be anything new either, how would you agree? ”

"I agree not because your method is new or effective...... The universe is so big that some people have tried all kinds of ways to live, but until now they have not found the so-called most reasonable way to live. It's a luxury to be able to live your own way of life once, and I just want to be a luxury with you, that's all. ”

Wu Xiaoqing was stunned when he heard it, and he forgot to continue eating, it was the first time he heard the search and rescue team speak so emotionally.

"What's wrong, isn't the rice delicious?"

"No......" The uneasiness in Wu Xiaoqing's heart just now surged up again, "Hearing you say that, I don't think I should give you this idea." ”

"Do you feel very worried about them now?"

"Professor Shen and Yevgeny are fine...... But Xu Yan and Wang Youquan ...... You saw it in the meeting...... The two of them yawned and dozed off all the time. ”

"Then they persevered, at least the attitude is still good."

"Can you save the world just by having a good attitude?"

"At least it sounds better," the search and rescue team said, "shouldn't there be a little more tolerance for those who are willing to save the world?" ”
