Chapter 22: The Relative Relationship between History and Psionic Powers
Yu Lian dared to assure Instructor Li, whom he admired the most, that he really didn't like psionic energy very much.
The culprit who completely distorted the technology tree of the known civilizations of the entire galaxy and even the whole universe, Yu Lian believes that there are three main reasons. One of them is the so-called psionic power. Of course, some people call it Yuan Neng, some people call it Force, some people call it Ghost Energy, anyway, that's about it.
Compared with the "scientific" explanation, this is a mysterious and mysterious energy factor that can be found in any corner of the universe but cannot be captured by an instrument. Gifted beings can use their existence to strengthen themselves, communicate with their divine senses, tear the heavens and the earth, and crisscross the galaxy, like the omnipotent gods of classical legends.
Because of the existence of these transcendent beings, the civilization state of the entire universe is a bit of a god. Fatalism, animism, so much so that the doctrine of descent prevails in the world. It's not materialistic at all, it's not scientific at all, it's not logical at all, it's not progressive at all.
After all, there really exist in this world who can hammer a space battleship with empty hands! The confusion is understandable.
When Yu Lian first came through in his previous life, he thought that he had come to the future cosmic era, and felt that he would become an "illiterate primitive person" if he didn't do it, and he was also subjected to a great cultural shock for a while, but soon found out that this was not the case at all.
Before the 15th century, the history of the earth was the same as he knew it, but then, with the arrival of visitors from outside the world, changes took place.
When the Empire and the Alliance's space exploration ships arrived in the solar system at about the same time, they found that there were almost identical individuals in one corner of the galaxy, and they were all quite happy, and in an almost ecstatic and brutal way, they descended on the third cantilever blue planet in the galaxy.
What a wonderful time! The discovery of the "same race" in the vast sea of stars is simply the magic of the spirit of the universe. The Empire's star officials and the members of the Alliance's Academy of Sciences lingered in the Forbidden City and the Holy Palace, marveling at the primitive but splendid civilization; The Astral Knights and Guerrillas toasted and sang under the view of the Sphinx and the Leshan Giant Buddha, and invited the earthlings who bowed down to them to join them in their feast.
The earthlings who are just about to enter the Age of Discovery, have not had time to explore the planet under their feet, and they have been taken on the road of no return where technology and civilization are completely crooked.
Then, then, the subsequent historical process that Yu Lian was familiar with no longer exists.
Yes, although this is also the "earth", it is not Yu Lian's hometown.
Yu Lian, who came from the materialist earth world, was very angry, and for a while felt that the so-called psionic beings were the culprits who completely disappeared the history and beliefs he knew! He felt that all of the galaxy was hopelessly idealistic idiots except himself.
Isn't a logical and well-organized scientific worldview fragrant? The so-called psionic energy, the so-called opening of Raushzi's "star ring in the spiritual universe", doesn't it sound like a metaphysics?
I, Yu Lian, a good young man who has received twenty years of materialist worldview education, even if I am slapped to death by psionic ripples, and die in a black hole, I will never become an idealist fool!
Perhaps it was this entanglement that made his spirit a little more divided than ordinary people, so he opened his star ring in a daze.
And then, it's so fragrant......
Yu Lian quickly comforted himself that the so-called materialism is that existence is reasonable, and the reason why it cannot be classified by rigorous scientific models. It's just that the level of science hasn't reached that level.
After all, we can't be fundamentalist metaphysical pseudo-materialists! This is to be criticized by Mr. Li.
So, psionic energy really smells good!
Very logical! Very materialistic! No problem!
Of course, none of the above is the point.
Let's talk about psionic energy.
This transcendent power, which represents almost the most powerful and mysterious in the universe, can only be awakened in gifted natural lifeforms. The way of awakening varies from person to person, and there is indeed no authoritative textbook, but once awakened, no matter which path of cultivation one embarks, the power of one's soul and body will enter the transcendent realm.
This would also explain why Station 12's support team was attacked by the swarm. What could be more fragrant than the genes of the Awakened for a swarm whose ultimate goal is the evolution of an entire population?
Except for the queen who fought with Yu Lian several times in her previous life, the entire huge trillions of insect swarms have never given birth to individuals with psychic abilities - in later generations, many people have speculated that the insect swarm was not born naturally, but a biological weapon created by a certain force, but unfortunately it got out of control, so it became a natural disaster that plagued all civilizations in the galaxy.
However, the more non-existent, the more it must be proved. The more unattainable, the more eager you are.
In the afterlife, the elite of the swarm tirelessly hunted the psionics of the entire universe, and this is evidence.
Ina Shinica, the "Witch with Burning Eyes", the most famous sniper in the galaxy, the heroine of the Blue Star Community, and one of the symbols of unyielding resistance in the hearts of earthlings, is a powerful psyker.
Of course, now at the age of twenty-three, she has not yet awakened, and at most she is sensitive.
Whether it is sensitive or not, at present, in the whole galaxy, only the Empire's Astral Knights, the Alliance's Starry Sky Guerrilla Association, and the transcendent Ethereal Spirit Temple have very metaphysical detection methods; But Yu Lian knew that there should be bugs too.
For insects, the genetic information of a sensitive person who has not yet awakened may be more valuable than that of an awakened person.
The swarm that is now developing has not yet had the strength to attack the big city and the galaxy itself, but as long as there is an opportunity, of course, it will not let go of the target in the wild.
Yu Lian was still a little puzzled. In his previous life, he had not heard of the attack from Ina, and the subsequent siege of Port Tulom was the first time she appeared on the stage of history.
However, if I hadn't been reborn, wouldn't the "Witch with Burning Eyes" have to die at that time?
In addition, he carefully searched the memories of his previous life again, and made sure that there were no traces left by the swarm in the entire Tulong Harbor incident. The first recorded official appearance of the swarm was indeed years later.
Or was the swarm not ready to appear in the first place, but because of my rebirth, they changed their original purpose and appeared early?
Well, for the swarm, the genes that are more valuable than one sensitive person's genes are, of course, two.
That is, I'm already starting to change history?
Belch...... Having said that, in the final analysis, it was just Yu Lian's speculation, and since there was no basis, he could only temporarily suppress these doubts in his heart.
In short, let's bring the perspective back to reality. Yu Lian believed that even if his rebirth and possession really caused some butterfly effect, the insect swarm should not appear again for a while. Their current policy is to develop obscenely, and they will not dare to be exposed to the eyes of the major civilizations until they are formed on a large scale. Therefore, the closer you get to the battlefield in Tulom, the safer you will be.
Yu Lian thought about it and said casually, "Well, I have to ask what the experience of psionic energy is...... In addition to the physical energy is much more abundant than before, it is probably the feeling is stronger. However, this also varies from person to person. Each Awakened individual has a different understanding. Some people don't know where they heard some nonsense, and they have to say that they have been guided by the spirit of the universe, pretending to be a god and making tricks, and babbling a bunch of loopholes in theories, but in the end, there are always high-ranking officials and nobles who regard him as a spiritual leader. So, don't think that being an awakened person is necessarily a good thing, if the will can't control power, then become a slave to power. ”
Most of them showed an expression of "I don't understand what you said, but it's really amazing", but the old mechanic was so frightened that he shuddered, subconsciously looked around, and then said helplessly: "This, sir, this is also said here, but you can't say it locally!" Especially in public. ”
"Uh...... What did I say? ”
"The Cult of All Souls still has the support of quite a few big figures, and there are a lot of fanatical followers. If you can't hide your words, it's okay to affect your future, but there will really be fanatics attacking you. I used to know a journalist...... Hi, forget it. ”
"Oh, you said Master Wang made the one? Swear to the spirit of the universe, I have no mapping. ”
Yes, this is not a mapping, it is almost equivalent to pointing at the nose and scolding.
Ina probably didn't want to continue the topic, and interjected, "So, how the hell do you feel about those burrowing worms?" Some kind of psionic skill? ”
Do you remember this? Yu Lian silently rolled his eyes in his heart, and then said seriously: "This is the same as catching groundhogs in our hometown." Hold your hand open and press it on the ground, feel the subtle vibration of the ground, as long as it is moving, there will be a vibration, and there will be a specific rhythm. One, two, three, this is approaching, one, two, three, four, is to prepare for the attack, the interval between five and six, that is less than two meters away from you. Seven to eight, three meters. Nine to ten, five meters. Each knuckle corresponds to the target position, for example, the first joint of the middle finger is in the direction of three o'clock. ”
Everyone was in awe, either still unconscious or yes, but Ina was still suspicious: "Is this serious nonsense?" ”
The hunters on the Green Court really caught silverbearded rats like this, but there was a slight difference in the details, and wasn't this more scientific than psionic energy?
"Okay, let's talk about some nonsense. When I was in the college before, I also carefully read the early inspection report of the scientific expedition team to Xinyumen. It is believed that there should be a civilization left behind by the enlightened here. ”
"The Enlightened?" Youyou's face was full of confusion.
“…… I don't want to start from scratch, so I go back to middle school and study for two more years. In short, it's no secret that the vanished Enlighteners have left a legacy of civilization all over the universe for future generations to develop. The reason why I want to serve here is because I want to get a glimpse of it. Then, when I woke up, I did have an inexplicable urge to guide me here. Perhaps, this is the inspiration given to me by the spirit of the universe and the ancient ancestors. I thought to myself, we must retreat anyway, and since there is a great possibility of encountering the enemy in the front, it is better to try our luck in the mountains to the north. If there really is a relic of the Enlightened One, it can help us escape. And that's exactly what happened...... O psionics, trust your own realization! ”
