Jiqing entered the dream space again, and to his surprise, this time he didn't go through the channel that guided his thinking, and the space that should have been familiar also gave him a strange feeling, but he couldn't say what was the difference. In this strange space, there is only a feeling, and the existence of the illusion of similar things around it is just a feeling.

"Zhao Kun? It's you? Sure enough, when a figure appeared in front of Jiqing, it gave him a feeling completely different from Zhao Gan, and let him immediately know the identity of the other party. Unlike the first meeting, this figure directly passed on his identity to Jiqing.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Kun, and I'm the messenger of benevolence and civilization." Zhao Kun introduced himself formally and politely, although the introduction in human language was superfluous at this time.

"Hello? I'm Jiqing. Jiqing was a little puzzled, and couldn't figure out the other party's intention for a while.

"This is the second time we've met, and in your human language, once we're born, we're familiar with each other." Zhao Kun's flat tone is completely different from the emotional tone simulated by Zhao Gan, but the feeling given to Jiqing is more real, without embellishment, facing the other party with his original appearance.

"What are you looking for from me?" Jiqing asked, Zhao Kun's appearance surprised him.

"I want to ask you to help me." This requirement is the same as Zhao Qian's.

"Why?"

"Because you are very special, it is because of this trait that Zhao Qian can establish contact with you, I hope you don't continue to help him, especially don't report my affairs to the senior management of Kuafu."

"Even if I don't say it, Zhao Qian can convey it through others, can you just stop it in the same way?"

"There's no need, I said, you're special, as far as I know, right now, on the entire Kuafu, you can only establish contact with you."

"Can't you do it with the others?"

"No, this trait is innate in life, you and Zhao Qian, me and Yao are all accidental coincidences in the universe, this probability is very small, so that Renhe and Kua Father only have two coincidences with us."

"Then how can you contact me?"

"I'm different, I've been helped, and by help I can get rid of this limitation, and humanity has studied itself far more than we know about you."

"Doesn't Zhao Qian get this kind of help?"

"Zhao Qian? It is possible that he will find other methods, but that will be a long time later, and at that time...... "Zhao Kun didn't finish speaking," there was no need. ”

"Why should I help you, and also, if I help you like this, how will Zhao Qian and his family retaliate against the human race, can Kuafu withstand such an accident, I can't hastily agree to you, because I can't make this decision on behalf of Kuafu, and even the commander-in-chief doesn't have this power."

"No, Renhe will not take revenge on you, we have a code of conduct that humans cannot understand. Do you remember? Our taboo, the inviolability of life, is not only for ourselves, but also for any life in the universe, benevolence will not be violated, but will only be expelled. ”

"Expelling humans?"

"No, I'm the only one who has been expelled, and I'll never be able to return to the race when I share my situation with other individuals. I ask you to keep it a secret in order to protect the human beings who have helped me, and if you report it to the high-level Kuafu, it will have a very bad impact on him under the norms of human society. ”

"Forever expelled, it's the same as the Star ......of Disgrace" Jiqing instinctively stopped, Zhao Qian explained to him the history of Renhe, even if he had done such an unforgivable crime as violating life, Renhe's highest punishment was only banishment.

"In my heart, it's a monument!" Zhao Kun repeated what he said to Zhao Gan, and Jiqing felt a human emotion from Zhao Kun's language for the first time.

"Is it worth it?"

"Your doubts are because you don't understand his greatness, and you don't know the traditions of benevolence and civilization, remember what I said to you when I first met?"

"That's what you said to me on purpose." Jiqing understood that he couldn't understand the content of the conversation between Zhao Gan and Zhao Kun at all, but why did he understand Zhao Kun's incomprehensible words in the end.

"It's a legacy of a great spirit, and Renhe can't accept it, but humans can. I have looked through the history of mankind and know that human civilization has been pursuing a truth since its infancy, and although in some scientific research processes, human beings have fallen into a state of stagnation, but in the study of life, human beings have surpassed benevolence. ”

"The great spirit is not dead...... Ji Qing didn't know if the other party was taboo about this word, so he stopped in time and quickly asked his own question, how could he have a inheritance.

His people are still there, and his thoughts are being passed down in another form, these words were left by him before he was exiled, and I hope his people can understand their choice. However, most of the clansmen were afraid of the power of traditional taboos and chose to give up, and Renhe missed the door to enter the new world. ”

"Are you the inheritance of his people?"

Zhao Kun didn't answer this question, but continued to ask, "Are you willing to help me?" ”

"I ...... Think about it. Jiqing was very hesitant, he saw the other party's determination without hesitation, this spirit is like praising his father day by day, Zhao Kun is like a pioneer of praising his father, this spirit moved him very much, but the reason in his heart did not allow him to make a promise easily.

"You will, I can feel it, you and he are very special, you should both understand my choice." Zhao Qian said affirmatively, this sentence contains a strong confidence.

"Why do you believe in that ...... so much The great spirit, the benevolence and inherent traditions that he has done that have clearly broken through, are taboo for you, and he has not proven with certainty that what he is doing is right......"

"In addition to the study of life, Renhe is a very open and free civilization, although we have an innate advantage over microscopic particles, and can correctly judge whether our thinking direction is wrong through observation, but for other phenomena in the universe, such as space, energy, dimensions, and the concept of time you proposed, we have also been exploring, so far there is no clear right or wrong, so many great theoretical conjectures have been born within Renhe civilization."

Scientists have put forward many new theoretical conjectures based on existing traditional theories or plausible hypotheses, and perfected them through their own efforts and those of future generations.

This is the case with the Great Spirit, who put forward the conjecture of the transformation of space and matter before he became the pioneer of the life sciences of Renhe civilization, and this theory enjoys a very high position in Renhe, and has countless followers and supporters of Renhe individuals. On the basis of this theory, many famous theoretical conjectures have been born, some of which have been indirectly confirmed to some extent. ”

"Matter and space...... OK...... Conversion? This concept is very foreign to Jiqing, and the first feeling that he understands the literal meaning of the word is absurd, in the human scientific tradition, space and matter are two completely different concepts, and it is impossible to achieve theoretical unity.

"The theory of the transformation of space and matter is simply based on the bold conjecture that space, like matter, is made up of a number of basic tiny units. The traditional theory is that the particles that make up matter are floating in the medium of space, and that space and matter are two different concepts. And this conjecture breaks down the barriers between the two concepts and unifies them. He predicted that space and matter particles could be constantly mutualized, and that this transformation was still going on in the universe all the time. I don't know if Zhao Kun felt the absurdity of this concept in Jiqing's language, and explained it to Jiqing seriously, without hesitation or pause in the language, skillfully repeating the content of this theory.

"To put it in a simple way that you can understand, it's the ocean and the creatures in it. The main substance of the ocean is water, in which the body structure of floating jellyfish, fish and other bodies is composed of other organic and inorganic substances, and most of the living organisms are filled with water. All organic and inorganic matter are made up of different atoms, different atoms are composed of different combinations of protons, neutrons and electrons, if the water molecule is compared to the unit that makes up space, and the living thing is compared to the celestial body in it, their basic units are the same and can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. ”

Jiqing seems to have some truth when he listens to this metaphor, but he always feels that something is wrong, it may be the reason in the dream, and his logical thinking is a little hindered.

"Of course, such a simple analogy is not appropriate, but it is convenient for you to intuitively understand this concept, and the relationship between space and matter is more complex."

"When the universe is within a critical value, the number of material basic units converted into space basic units is greater than that of space converted into material units, and the space expands outward, pushing the adjacent galaxies into the distance, and the distance between galaxies continues to increase, resulting in the phenomenon of red shift."

"And this process does not happen in one direction, when galaxies gradually disappear, matter is broken down to a certain extent, space reaches a critical value, and in some specific space between the Milky Way, space particles begin to converge. The formation of matter particles began to be greater than the formation of space units, and the material units continued to converge, and this process continued to take place, giving birth to the same and different material units as the present universe, which became new stars, stars, star clusters, galaxies, and galaxy clusters...... Blue shift occurs during this process. Of course, not all specific spaces will be successful in the birth of the Milky Way. The universe in which we live is constantly expanding and compressing, in which the mass and energy of the universe remain the same because the basic units do not increase or decrease. ”

"Is this theory possible?" Jiqing doesn't agree with this point of view, how can space be made up of a basic element? And is it the same elemental basis as the composition of matter?

This is also something that can't be helped, human beings have never really stepped out of the solar system, just looking at the starry sky in the distance, using imagination to construct their own theoretical embodiment, and long-term space travel Renhe is incomparably short-sighted, human understanding of the universe is still in the initial stage, just like the ancient people living in the tropics could not imagine that soft water can become hard ice.

However, the expansion of the universe, the movement of gravitational waves, the curvature of space, distortions, faults, and cracks can to some extent show that space is also a physical existence. A long time ago, human imagination was very limited, and there was no concept of space and infinity, and never studied what it was like outside the living space, later, human beings began to imagine the heavenly realm, gods and ghosts, built a mythological system, and slowly walked out of the limited space around them, when human beings really saw space through astronomical telescopes, the concept of infinity began to develop, is space infinite? If not, what is beyond the space? The problems raised by this concept have not been solved.

"Some assumptions have been confirmed, but our lives are too short for either benevolence or humanity to see the process of this cosmic cycle."

At the beginning of the birth of this theory, it was recognized by many individuals, and he broke away from his original family, established his own family, and began to drift in space for a long time, using cosmic phenomena to improve his theoretical system. It wasn't until later that he achieved high achievements and had a high status in the Renhe civilization, and many individuals were willing to follow his direction of thinking, and I was one of them. ”

"He could have had a glorious life, and his inheritors would have led the Renhe civilization to open up new world realms. But one day, while studying the microscopic transformations of the universe, he discovered a new field, the nature of life. Although he was ecstatic at this discovery, he immediately fell into contradictions. ”

"Is it a taboo in life?"

"Yes, every individual of Renhe civilization is the foundation of the next generation, and the inheritance of life and knowledge completely depends on the individuals of the previous generation, and any individual is the necessary foundation for the continued existence and growth of Renhe civilization in the universe, so Renhe's protection of individual life has reached an extremely demanding point, and it is impossible to achieve it by studying itself."

Jiqing knows that the inheritance of benevolence and life is similar to the process of cell division, and the new life individual not only inherits the complete life code similar to the human gene of the original individual, but also inherits a large amount of experience and memory. However, the proportion of new individuals forming new consciousness is very unstable, and many new individuals will not produce consciousness, and can only live instinctively until death, while these unawakened individuals will not split to produce new individuals, and eventually dissipate in the environment and become a part of nature. As a result, the number of individuals has always been stable at a relatively fixed number, so it is very important for each individual to mature the inheritance of the civilization of Renhe, and it has also formed a tradition of benevolence and respect for all conscious beings in the universe.

"I didn't agree with his behavior of studying life, but I couldn't stop his behavior, I just left my original family, until he was judged and banished, I was always suffering for his wrong behavior, and I didn't want to see the shadow that would forever float in the sky, so I left the Open Heaven System."

Jiqing, who was affected by his words, fell silent, and the human feelings were richer, and he could feel the psychology of feeling abandoned.

"I thought his choice was wrong, I deceived myself, accepted the reality, and gradually settled down in the galaxy, pursuing a new direction of thinking. Until...... I met Yao ......"

What the! Yao is alive!

Jiqing felt that he had grasped an important message. "What did you get from Yao?"

"The essence of life, and the ......"

"Ling?" Jiqing heard this word for the second time, what does it have to do with the nature of life? "What do you mean?"

"You are very special, maybe one day you can explore this world with us, a new world! But...... Now is not the time. ”

"Why"

"Consciousness...... Soul...... You're not ready to take it on...... Isn't it? ”

When Jiqing heard this, he was speechless, and the idea of exploring the nature of consciousness was tempting, but for a long time, traditional human science has made the answer, and matter is the basis of spirit. Is it worth abandoning everything to explore an idea that has been determined by human science, forbidden by benevolence, and an idea that has no definite basis? Jiqing couldn't give an affirmative answer.

After the two of them were silent for a long time, Zhao Kun said softly, "I hope that when we meet again, you will help me, and now I just want you to keep this secret." ”

After Zhao Kun finished speaking, he slowly left Jiqing's dream.
