Ye Zhanjian saw that the airship was still rising, and immediately shouted: "Let him stop!"

Xuanying turned to the second main pipe: "Stop first." ”

The second chief pipe immediately adjusted the valve of the compressed gas cylinder, and the speed of the balloon's rise quickly slowed down and hovered in mid-air.

Ye Jianjian temporarily put his mind at ease, looked at Xuanying in surprise, and asked, "Do you know me?"

Hyunyoung nodded.

Ye Zhanjian pointed his gun at Xuanying and shouted, "Don't play tricks on me, tell me, what's going on?"

Xuanying glanced at the muzzle of Ye Jianjian's gun, and said calmly: "It takes a lot of time to talk about this matter, and this is not the place to speak." If you want to know, you can come with me to the balloon. I'll give you the answer. ”

Ye Zhan Jianhu looked at Xuanying suspiciously.

Xuanying looked at Ye Zhanjian with a calm face.

In the end, Ye Zhanjian's curiosity overcame his vigilance. He nodded, and put down the gun in his hand.

Hyun Young said, "Please come with me." Mo Li, you can come along. ”

Mo Li couldn't help but say, "There are nearly three thousand kilograms of Xuanjin over there." ”

Xuanying said: "It's all external things. Let's go. ”

Mo Li's heart ached. Two thousand eight hundred kilograms of Xuanjin is definitely an astronomical amount, and Xuanying said that if she didn't want it, she wouldn't want it.

What a loser.

However, these strangers also think about it. He has great respect for Xuanying, and he obeys Xuanying's orders unconditionally.

The three of them board the hanging basket. When Mo Li saw Daisy, he immediately stepped over and reached out to try it under Dais's nose. Feeling Daisy's slight breathing, Mo Li felt a little more at ease.

When Ye Jianjian saw Wang Xiaotian, he also hurriedly went over and tried his snort.

Xuanying said: "Don't worry, he just fainted." I will wake up in two or three hours, and there will be no major problems. ”

Ye Zhanjian stood up and asked, "How do you know me?"

Xuanying didn't answer, motioned for the second chief manager to drive the airship off, and then asked rhetorically, "Did Xiaotian tell you what he experienced some time ago?"

Ye Jianjian hesitated for a moment and nodded. In fact, he already had an answer in his heart, but he couldn't accept it.

Xuanying said: "Since Xiaotian has told you something, it has saved me a lot of words." To make it clear why I know you, I need to figure out two things. First, who we are. Second, who you are. ”

"The first problem, we belong to the old era, an international organization. At that time, the purpose of this organization was to study the social form of interstellar civilization, and how the social form at that time could smoothly transition to it. ”

Ye Zhanjian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you want to study these?"

Xuanying said: "Because before the establishment of the organization, countries around the world were doing their best to build an interstellar colony spaceship, and it will be built soon. Humanity is about to step out of the cradle and into the infinite starry sky. ”

"However, there are many social issues that need to be solved, in addition to technology, before interstellar colonization can begin. The first is the problem of social formation and social psychology during the long interstellar voyage. ”

"Because living on a spaceship is completely different from living on the ground. Before the construction of interstellar colony spaceships, the scale of exploration of the universe by countries around the world was very small, with only three or five people, or a dozen or twenty people. ”

"Each operation lasted for a very short period of time, a maximum of a few months or a year. And the astronauts selected are also the best talents in all countries, and their qualities are outstanding in all aspects. Not to mention loyalty, discipline. ”

"In addition, if the duration of the exploration operation is relatively short, even if there are some small conflicts between the team members, they can tolerate each other until the end of the operation, and it will not have a big impact on the entire operation. ”

"And interstellar colonization lasts much longer, and once these people board the ship, they may stay on it for the rest of their lives. In addition, colonization requires much more talents than a short-term exploration activity, and the knowledge structure is much more complex. ”

"In addition, there is a more important issue, how to ensure that the people on the spaceship are natural, sustainable, and reproduce. Therefore, on the spaceship, there must be not only young and strong men, but also young women, and even children. ”

"When the composition of the population is complex, it is necessary to consider the form of social structure, the administrative structure, the mode of operation, as well as the law, ethics and various rules. These can't wait until the ship arrives and then solve the problem. Simulations must be performed first. ”

"The organization we belong to was originally formed to take on this mission. However, with the outbreak of war, this task was temporarily put on hold, and the new task was "How to preserve the fire of human civilization under the destruction of war". ”

"In order to stop the spread of war and preserve the flame of civilization, the predecessors of the organization have done a lot of work. However, it still did not prevent the tragedy from happening. After the New Era, our organization has been working to find out why the war broke out and the truth about the New Era Big Bang. ”

Ye Zhanjian asked confusedly, "The truth about the big bang?"

Xuan Ying nodded and said, "Regarding the New Era Big Bang, the mainstream theory of the Eastern Chu Kingdom and the Xiluo Kingdom now is that there was a fierce battle between the warring parties on the spaceship in order to compete for the interstellar colony spaceship. ”

"Due to the destruction of the ghost energy engine by weapons and the mistakes of the personnel, the core ghost energy conversion device exploded. The decayed secondary ghostly energy formed a deadly radiant shockwave that instantly filled the entire solar system. ”

"Due to the influence of the secondary spectral radiation, the electronic equipment of all artificial celestial bodies has been burned out and cannot function properly, either exploding and turning into cosmic junk, or crashing into nearby planets. ”

"Originally, all the creatures on this planet would also be completely killed by the secondary spectral energy, but fortunately, Saturn was at the right place at that time, between the explosion point and this planet, blocking the secondary spectral energy radiant shock wave. ”

"The secondary ghost-radiant shock wave, which decayed again after passing through Saturn, greatly reduced the damage, but still caused the destruction of electronic equipment around the world, and caused secondary disasters such as power plant explosions, water supply and transportation system paralysis, gas system and hazardous chemical plant explosion. ”

In addition, the fall of various man-made celestial bodies in the sky also caused tsunamis in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. These disasters have almost wiped out more than ninety percent of the world's living creatures. ”

"Those who survived had to flee the ruins of the city and return to the wilderness to slash and burn. The ghostly energy, which decays again, becomes the Force and influences and changes the way the survivors live. ”

Hearing this, Ye Zhanjian was shocked beyond measure.

Hyunyoung continued, "These are brief facts about the Anno Big Bang. The reality is much more complicated than that. In fact, our Order, prior to the Anno Explosion, had detected a mysterious signal source, and discovered that this source had signaled the colony ship before the ghost engine exploded. ”

Ye Zhanjian was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xuan Ying said: "We suspect that the explosion of the ghost engine was caused by the command given by the signal source. ”

"Where's the source?"

Xuanying said: "This involves the second question, who are you. But before I answer that, let me finish the first question. ”

Ye Zhanjian nodded.

Hyun Ying continued, "For more than a thousand years, our organization has been tracking down the source of the signal to uncover the secrets of the Big Bang. The explorer as you know it is a branch of the organization. I am the person in charge of the explorer in the Eastern Chu Kingdom. ”

Ye Jian said: "So, who are we?" ”

Xuanying said: "Back then, when we organized research, there were more adequate personnel at first. Later, because of the war, a large number of personnel were transferred to the front. If there are not enough people to study the social form, it will certainly not be effective. ”

"In addition, the war is getting more and more intense, and our organization has to put some energy into areas such as weapons development, and there is a serious shortage of available personnel. In order to solve this problem, the ancestors of the organization took great risks and perfected the cloning and memory access technology. ”

"In fact, everything that happened afterwards, including everything that happened to me and you, was due to these two techniques. ”

Ye Zhanjian's stunned mouth couldn't close. It's madness!

The problem of human cloning is not the technical difficulty, but the social ethics. Just imagine, you were made a clone by someone, and you committed crimes everywhere, how can you clear your name after being cloned?

As for memory access, it is even more unethical. What makes each person unique is because each person has different experiences that form unique thoughts, feelings, and memories.

If memories can be accessed, and one's memories are completely replaced by those of another, how can we define who this person really is?

If cloning technology is combined with memory access, it's a mess!

Xuanying looked at Ye Zhanjian and said, "From your reaction, I can see what you are worried about." However, we don't use this to do bad things. ”

"The purpose of this project was to alleviate the shortage of manpower. With the consent of the other party, we saved the memories of some of the researchers who were transferred, and then made clones and stored these memories so that they could help us in research support work. ”

"These people are called auxiliaries, and they don't go out of the base. Later, the incident became known to the military. They gave us a grant to read all the memories of the experienced veterans. ”

"The training cycle of soldiers is very long, especially veterans who have experienced many battles and survived, which is definitely a valuable asset. But the war is brutal, and no one can guarantee that they will not die in the next war. ”

"With this technology, we can transfer the memories of veterans to new recruits and shorten the training cycle of soldiers. Originally, we were reluctant to apply these technologies to the war. However, the situation forced me to comply. ”

"Later, we not only copied the veterans, the memories of the battle, but also their life memories and feelings. In the words of the leader of the organization, it is to use this form to keep the hero alive forever. ”

"Soon, a large number of veterans' memories were stored in our base. In addition to the memories of these veterans, we also store the memories of many scientists. These memories, together with scientific and technological materials, plant seeds, and art materials, are collectively called the spark of civilization. ”

Ye Zhanjian asked tentatively: "We, is it from these memories?"

Xuanying said: "It can only be said that these memories are stored in your brains. You are still you, and you have not become them. ”

Ye Zhanjian said: "You confused me. According to you, what you just said doesn't really have much to do with us, does it?"

Xuanying shook his head and said, "No, the relationship is very close. What I just said is just the basics, and then it really touches on the question of who you are. ”

Ye Zhanjian said: "So, who are we?"
