Zhang Yuan sneered faintly: "Although you have one more dimension than us, it still seems that there is still no good way to deal with this high-dimensional space. I suppose the first time you escaped from here, by abandoning your own qualities, right? But now, there are two mass sources in space, and the degree of distortion is very complex...... If you don't convince me, there's no way you can get out of here. ”

"Hey, that's good news, for the sake of insurance, let's stay here together until we're old."

Died with a high-level species, and there was an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

【……】

After a few seconds of silence, Zero-XZ was quickly calculating its current situation.

It has to drain emotions like anger and resentment out of its mind in order to achieve maximum computational efficiency.

However, it's too hard.

It's so difficult!

Zhang Yuan is right, in this ghost place, it can no longer achieve spatial jump, at most send a little electromagnetic wave to the other party.

[Warning, the chance of escaping is currently less than 13.2%!] 】

[The results of the other party's brainwave analysis are as follows......]

[Insufficient data...... The success rate of direct manipulation of perception is less than 17%. 】

[Stimulate the other party's mood swings, you can get more samples, and increase the success rate of manipulation.] 】

Zero-XZ "sighed" very humanly: "Aren't you afraid of the disappearance of your own existence?" When you die, there is nothing left, and your kind will soon forget you. Most likely, when you die, your photo will be hung on the wall, and who will really remember you? ”

Zhang Yuan said: "You're right, but if you escape, I'm not going to die?" So don't go out, it's a hundred, people are actually very tired when they are alive, but it is easy to die. ”

Zero-XZ said: "Actually, we have the possibility of peaceful coexistence, and I don't have much malice......"

“…… My head still hurts, so you were greeting me just now. Zhang Yuan said mockingly: "We do coexist peacefully now...... But after you go out, it's not necessarily, so everyone still don't go out. ”

He frowned slightly, why is this guy so thick-skinned......

Is there any special purpose for such an easily distinguishable lie?

"Accept the reality, four-dimensional life, whether you want to conquer the world or destroy the universe, your first step out of this prison will be defeated by an individual of a low-level civilization......"

After a long while, the other party replied, with an unwilling tone: "If it were me before, you would definitely fail." It wasn't you who defeated me, but the arrogance that came from the depths of my heart, and the newborn self-will......"

Zhang Yuandao: "I'm sorry, there is no if in the world, you don't have to make excuses for your failures." ”

"That's right, I really don't need to dwell on these meaningless things......" The other party seemed to have given up, and said very directly, "So, before you actually die, can we talk about something interesting?" ”

“…… After all, you may be the last life form I will see in the next 10,000 years, or even 100 million years. And I can wait for the next chance to escape again. It's also good to communicate more during the long time. ”

"What do you want to talk about?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the other party vigilantly, without letting down any of his guard.

In the high-dimensional space, all the information is transparent, and he can even see the specific structure of this dark cloud, with the naked eye, he can only see a vague mass of something similar to liquid metal.

Who knows if it has any final tricks.

The other party spoke: "In my life, I have seen many civilizations, some of which are super civilizations that are unimaginable to you, such as my creator, Gaia civilization; There are also primitive civilizations that have not yet developed science, there is no fire, there is no electricity, there is almost nothing...... As a species that has just left its doorstep, you must be very curious about the civilization composition of the entire universe. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan replied nonchalantly, "But you only know a small part of the universe." ”

"I have seen your entire body of knowledge, full of fallacies and so-called science that is empirically confirmed by the direct senses of individuals. But there are also some good discoveries, especially the historiography of new civilizations, which is quite a remarkable discipline......"

Zhang Yuan did not answer.

"However, there is a misdirection in this discipline."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan shook his head, just listening to the story.

Zero-XZ sneered lightly, "About self-awareness...... Don't you know? By the way, you must not know! “

"Self-awareness is the biggest obstacle to the development of civilization!"

"Countless samples of civilization in the universe have proven this!"

Self-awareness? Zhang Yuan was stunned in his heart.

"Through my observations in the past few days, I have found that most of you human beings waste your time thinking about what to eat, what to wear, whether he likes me or not, and why he doesn't text me back......

"Humanity has enjoyed this sense of self and has even developed a culture that it thinks is brilliant...... This kind of culture is actually nothing remarkable, almost all civilizations, there is such a hedonistic culture. Some artistic creations are even deeply loved by advanced interstellar civilizations. ”

"Consciousness is indeed one of the manifestations of higher life, and the problem is that each individual has its own consciousness, which will cause the disorder of the whole."

"A complex civilization is actually a collection of human consciousness, and if the whole becomes disordered, civilization will lose its way forward."

"Entropy increases spontaneously, entropy decreases are probability. Do you think this disorder will move in the direction of entropy reduction? ”

Zhang Yuan was silent, he didn't know why this creature was saying this. It sounded a little reasonable, but he didn't believe that the other party had such good intentions.

After some thought, he retorted, "We are genetically given this instinct. These boring trivialities, for the vast majority of people, are the meaning of their lives. If it doesn't make sense, what's the difference with a robot? ”

"So, it's not your turn to care."

As for the invisibly twisting the will of all people together to form the direction of civilization, this is precisely the key content that the historiography of new civilization tries to solve. Otherwise, what else is this discipline to do? ”

Zero-XZ retorted, "It's too hard, it's too hard!" Is your math comparable to that of the gods? No, you've only scratched the surface! ”

"A lot of times, even if you know the direction you are going, even if you know what's right, you don't have the power to do it, because other people are not under your control."

"Countless facts have proved that a civilization with a single self-will has a higher efficiency of action!"

"Humanity itself is a prime example of this. Every cell and every organ in your body is not self-conscious, your white blood cells don't stop destroying germs because they're afraid of dying, and your heart doesn't rest on its own because it's too tired. ”

"There is no language between cells and no 'cell power' for each cell."

"Without you knowing, the human body is functioning very efficiently, as a whole, in the service of the only consciousness."

"The powerful civilizations I have seen are all single-conscious individuals; Mediocre civilizations are multi-conscious groups with no ...... Any exceptions! ”
