Chapter 631: Civilization and the Individual

Tong Ling is not good at words.

With her current logical thinking, she can't organize flowery rhetoric to mobilize the emotions of others.

All her decisions come from the instinctive judgment at the bottom of her mind.

Although she doesn't know what to do, she knows what is right and what is wrong, what kind of situation she should use, and what kind of strategy she should use to achieve what kind of goal.

Tong Ling's way of thinking about problems is both profound and simple, like a perfect logical judgment aid that has not been produced by Taiwan, and she can always see the essence through the phenomenon at the fastest speed, and make the best choice within the limit of her ability, just like the monk after the epiphany of Buddhism, and like the Taoist real person who naturally returns to the sect.

Due to the change in personal thinking and the birth of cryonics technology, Tong Ling found a second goal for her life outside of the war, meeting Chen Feng.

But seeing Chen Feng is still only her personal emotional needs, and the highest pursuit in her heart out of a sense of historical responsibility is still to complete the expeditionary mission with the Nameless Fleet.

From the moment she stepped on the Nameless Fleet, Tong Ling's highest aspiration has never changed from beginning to end, and like Qin Guang, it has never changed until now.

The next second, a woman's voice sounded in the projection.

"Who am I? Who are you? ”

The voice sounded cold and emotionless, but the listener faintly heard the smell of a lost lamb.

The thought capture team quickly gave an answer, and the information was synchronized to everyone's eyes, whether it was the audience in the prison ship or the other ordinary fleet personnel who had regained their freedom, they all knew that the owner of the voice was Tang Yingyu.

Tong Ling's behavior was not the prisoner who was suppressed first, but the thinking capture team that had been studying Tang Yingyu's mental activities.

These people were stunned on the spot.

"Something is wrong, why can Instructor Tong read Tang Yinghu's thoughts? We've only been listening to rustling noises for so many years, why do we have to do that? ”

Someone shouted so depressedly.

No one could answer him, just as no one could question why Tong Ling didn't say it earlier.

Those who have no intention act without and cannot explain to anyone.

Tang Yinghu's words did not end there, but continued to unfold, and one question after another sounded in people's ears.

"Am I the same as you?"

"What does it mean to be alive?"

"Can you move to live?"

"Is it alive to be able to communicate with people?"

"What is a man? Am I human? ”

"Why can't I be like you?"

"Is that wrong? I thought that training was serious, was I wrong? ”

"Do you have love? I listened to my two staff members discussing the matter of getting married, is that love? ”

"What is affection? Can feelings make people make decisions that don't go logical? ”

"Do I have a chance to harvest love too? Like you guys, watching your little one grow up little by little in the projection? ”

"I don't know why, but every time I see other staff members watching the baby's projection, my heart beats faster. Human beings raise offspring in the projection first, and then suddenly one day, the baby will become a reality from the projection? ”

"Is it true that there are so many people working for my little one? I really want to say thank you. ”

"Will there suddenly be a day when I can meet a friend like everyone else, sit quietly and chat together? After the staff created someone who loved me? Then I won't be so lonely in this universe, right? Sometimes I feel lucky, and sometimes I feel pathetic. ”

"I'm sorry? Although I know that I am not the same life as these people. But I'm still sorry. I don't want my own children to die? So I have to take their lives. Did humans create me? I like everyone and don't want to take anyone's life. But I have to keep my children alive. Otherwise, I really don't know what it means to be born. ”

This is the fifteen sentences in Tang Yinghu's short life? Throughout her first babbling to her last words of death.

After the listeners? Inexplicably sad.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Ling released a large number of pictures that were sped up many times.

People finally understood that Tong Ling announced Tang Yingyu's memory.

Most of the picture is the battle scene in Tang Yinghu's fantasy. For decades? Since being deprived of training to be a combatant? She never stopped imagining in her head. She completed the self-training of combat literacy in the fantasy in her head? And become a top fighter.

It's a pity that she never got the opportunity to show her abilities on a bigger stage until she died? Never touched real combat armor. Her talent was only short-lived in the confrontation with the rebels? Then the flame of life was quickly extinguished.

Or many years later, how will Tang Yinghu's combat effectiveness become a folk legend? was speculated and speculated by the world, and was described by adding fuel and vinegar, thinking that she might have been on an equal footing with Tong Ling, but her fate was ill-fated and she died young.

All this is already destined to be a fantasy.

Tong Ling shares Tang Yinghu's life? Meanwhile? Thought Capture Team Leader? An old lady who was nearly 260 years old produced an analysis report three hours later.

The old lady quickly integrated and analyzed the picture of Tong Ling and Tang Yinghu sitting opposite each other for decades? Draw a conclusion.

These two people have actually been communicating all the time, but in the way that no one else can understand.

The two are currently the only special individuals who can maintain the state of the Heartless while awake.

The two do not communicate through words, nor through body movements? Rather, it is the collision and information exchange that takes place at the level of the quantum storm of thinking.

The language of the two can be named the spiritual language.

The white noise heard by the thinking capture team was clear in Tong Ling's brain.

Over the years, it was Tong Ling who taught Tang Yinghu the human language and way of thinking.

Tang Yingyu's combat training in his mind is not a completely empty fantasy, and it is also guided and corrected by Tong Ling.

Every time Tang Yinghu communicates with Tong Ling, she will correct some brain training problems, and then come up with some new ideas that belong to her.

There are right and wrong in these ideas, but in the next exchange, Tong Ling will in turn absorb some of Tang Yinghu's correct cognition, and then point out the wrong part to her.

In addition to the battle fantasy, from time to time there are also some pictures of Tang Yinghu about daily life.

She seems to have learned a lot of new knowledge from Tong Ling.

She has imagined herself grazing under the green mountains and green waters, she has also imagined squeezing the elevator in an office building with a folder in her arms, and she has also imagined herself wearing a white coat staring at data in the laboratory, and walking hand in hand with a blurred face in the sunset.

But then, the other half of her fantasy disappeared, leaving her alone curled up and crouched in space.

She looked up at the starry sky, and countless human feet paddled past her on surfboards.

She tried waving to the passers-by, but no one responded.

By this time, she had already learned the truth, she only looked the same as humans, but not the same race.

She felt endless loneliness, and there was only one obsession left in her heart for life, to live. If you are destined to die, don't let your existence disappear completely, you have to leave something in this universe.

The final picture is no longer a fantasy, almost everyone has seen it.

She heard another voice in her body first, knew she was pregnant, and then the door was broken.

She turned around, and it was Bill Claston's angry, twisted face.

……

After watching Tong Ling take out the embryo from her body, her unwilling consciousness finally sank into darkness with a sigh of relief.

In just one day's information, it encapsulates Tang Yinghu's short life very concisely.

It's a boring and monotonous life with little hope.

As a lonely individual in the universe, a single race, she also longed for many beautiful things, and also longed to live like a human, but as time passed, she gradually recognized reality, broke away from the self-constructed fairy tale cognition, gave up more and more unrealizable dreams, and left only the purest pursuit - to let her lonely race continue to exist.

Since then, Tang Yinghu's life curve has only the backbone, no branches and leaves.

This is the stage of thinking that any normal one-person adult intelligent life will inevitably enter after entering adulthood and mastering the correct cognition of the universe, that is, after the three views.

Like the Colonizers of the past who are still wandering around the galaxy, trying to survive by all means.

Among the colonization modifiers, there are individuals who have reintegrated into human civilization such as white elephants, individuals like the ancestors of long-armed people who hope to change their human form and leave traces of themselves, and individuals who endure continuous weakening and self-fragmentation again and again in order to continue their lives, and even individuals who have determined that high temperatures are more suitable for them to prolong their lives after a lot of experiments, and turned to humans for help, and finally burrowed into the lava planet, just to live one more day.

But no matter how the reformers choose, there is only one ultimate goal, either to live longer for themselves or to pin their hopes for longer on others.

After reading Tang Yinghu's life memories, whether it was the first generation of fleet members who lived for the rest of their lives, or the second and third generations who learned that they would not be judged and had a chance to live, they all fell into a long silence.

People feel that compared to other people's colorful lives, it seems that Tang Yinghu is the most bleak one.

Even the people who were forced to participate in the Nuwa project were much better off than her.

"Everyone." A deep male middle voice broke the silence, it was Zhou Donglai, who should have been asleep.

Due to his special self-positioning, after Solent Cage went insane and Ophoros Cage died, Zhou Donglai has now become the existing supreme spiritual leader of the Free Will Alliance.

However, in the minds of the crew members who supported the expedition, since Zhou Donglai did not participate in the parliamentary coup and armed unrest, and was still a student of Qin Guang, his reputation was not seriously damaged.

Tong Ling is not good at using words to control people's hearts, and now Zhou Donglai's words have become the heaviest.

Zhou Dong said.

"Instructor Tong wants to tell us. There are two kinds of so-called freedom, small freedom and big freedom. Small freedom is the freedom of the individual. Great freedom is the freedom of civilization and the freedom of race. A free race can reproduce freely in the universe, without oppression, without threats, without having to hide, without worrying about being destroyed anytime and anywhere. “

"Little freedom is the self-righteous freedom that our freewill coalition has always had. We want to do as we please, we refuse to accept the constraints imposed on us by the collective, and we demand unlimited freedom of personal choice. But when our personal freedom conflicts with the freedom of civilization, we selfishly choose indulgence. ”

"We doubt history, do not recognize it, paralyze ourselves with self-deception, and forget the strength of the enemy. We tell ourselves that the universe is so big that if we escape, there will be a place to hide. In fact, we were wrong, such a powerful child instructor is still ready to sacrifice at any time, what qualifications do we have to say that we will definitely be able to live? ”

"Even if we can survive in other galaxies, it can only be because our people in the galaxy have not given up their resistance. Humanity in the galaxy is pursuing true freedom! All the small freedoms of the individual must be based on the great freedoms of the race. In an ancient Chinese saying, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached! ”

"We were wrong, we have inflicted serious losses on the fleet, even if it is a capital offense. But there is also an old Chinese saying, which says that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. We should be grateful to Instructor Tong Ling for giving us the opportunity to turn over a new leaf. ”

"There are still more than 70 years to go before we reach our destination, as long as we can give up our preconceptions, stop thinking nonsense, work more efficiently, stop caring about the so-called talents, the so-called hobbies, and keep telling ourselves that what I am engaged in is what I am most passionate about, and give full play to my potential, then we still have a chance to remedy."

"In addition, I also make an announcement in my capacity as acting commander-in-chief. All the staff of the former Nuwa Project can freely change the industry as long as they can get an S-level potential evaluation in other fields. At the same time, some people who have reached the upper limit of their personal potential in other fields can also participate in the Nuwa program from scratch at any time. Everyone in our Nameless Fleet has the opportunity to be both a scholar and a warrior. ”

"When we set out, we selected the elite of the entire empire. To this day, we will still be the best of the best! ”

Zhou Donglai's words perfectly complemented the memories of Tang Yinghu shared by Tong Ling, and replanted seeds in the hearts of the prisoners on the prison ship.

After the end of the doomsday crackdown process, the prisoners were not released immediately, but as Zhou Donglai said, everyone was given a new test of talent, and at the same time, some people who wanted to choose their profession freely were provided with a more comprehensive teaching of basic knowledge.

But the amazing thing is that the number of practitioners in the Nuwa Project has not decreased, but more people have tried to start from scratch.

……

"Teacher, it's over. Here is a report of fleet losses, you see. ”

In Qin Guang's room, Zhou Donglai put a paper top-secret report in front of Qin Guang, who had just woken up.

After a long time, Qin Guang sighed, "Alas, too many people have died, and our technology has been stagnant for many years. ”

Things turned out in a lot like what he had set up, and he knew it would end like this, but he had expected fewer casualties and underestimated the extent of the loss of control.

The old Qin Guang rubbed his swollen temples, "It's my fault." ”

"Teacher, it's not your fault."

"No, it's my plan, I'm the top leader, of course it's me who should take responsibility. I am indeed inferior to Marshal Tang Tianxin, and I cannot be compared with the sages. I didn't expect that someone would assassinate Tang Yinghu, if it wasn't for Instructor Tong Ling arriving in time, it would have been all over. Moreover, if it weren't for the Tong Instructor who could read Tang Yinghu's memory, and then use Tang Yinghu's memory to make your words more convincing, our productivity would have been deeply damaged. Also, judging from the results, these things could have been avoided, but I have been insensitive, ignoring the importance of ideological construction. ”

The master and apprentice were chatting, and an announcement sounded in the communicator of the two at the same time.

General Solent Cage, who had just regained his senses, chose to kill himself by drinking bullets.

The master and apprentice were stunned.
