〈2 • Simulated World〉
[Sim World: Infinite Ensemble]
Part 1: Message Variations
It's not very clean, and it's a little dirty and messy in a warm room. An old man in his twenties was crackling on a barely functional laptop.
There was only one bed in the empty room, and the old man sat on the bed in a very awkward position.
The humming computer constantly changes its tone, forming a reverberating choir with the various noises outside the living room.
The familiar noisy environment did not make the old man's confused thoughts clear as before, but made the old man's brain completely become a hodgepodge. This can be seen in the old man's almost crazy expression, completely uncontrollable body shaking, and pale and weak skin.
On the verge of collapse, the old man suddenly remembered a sentence that a certain wise man once said.
"Any blow that doesn't kill us makes us stronger."
The effect of a sentence cannot stabilize the old man's mood, but this sentence is like a medicine primer, leading to countless beneficial thoughts. These thoughts had a calming effect on a certain extent, and gave the old fellow some comfort in his heart disease.
The old guy temporarily turned off the computer screen and took out a notebook with a leather buckle from his underwear pocket, more precisely, this is the old guy's secret folder.
Inside the cover of the foreskin is a small compartment for common items such as change, business cards and bank cards.
The contents of the mezzanine seemed to be important, and when the old man saw the self-sealing strip of the small transparent pouch sticking out of the mezzanine, his mood changed somewhat by force.
The contents of the mezzanine were not the purpose of the old man's inspection of the folder this time, and he continued to turn the pages until the text was presented on neat paper.
[Trends: Some theories about the nature of the real world]
"According to the theory, please don't try to understand the meaning of the word, it is not that meaning, it is that meaning, it is not just that meaning, it is only that meaning."
"Theory 1: Brains are a good thing, but I don't need them. - Quotations from the Daily Consumption Guide"
"Theory 2: We don't see things in themselves, we see ourselves in them. - Anasinin
"Theory 3: If you want to understand the 'real' meaning of a text, you must be the person who wrote it. According to two, it is impossible."
"Theory 4:3 is not all impossible, as long as it can be done in one."
"Theory 5: The essence of language and writing is just information, and everyone has an infinite number of ways to read it, including the person who wrote it."
"Theory 6:5 shows that the person who wrote this text himself could not really understand the meaning of this text. Therefore, no one can ever understand the meaning of this text, because it cannot be incomprehensible in itself."
"Theory 7: The most amazing thing is that the words seem to all be understandable, and they are so simple."
"Theory 8: A hidden meaning of seven is that it is the message that tells us the meaning of this text."
"Theory 9: Based on the above theory, the information finally tells us the tenth theory... Of course, it would be better to say that the conclusion."
"Theory 10: The only truth about the real world. The so-called evolution of all things is only a change in information. The real world is what information tells us, and whatever you perceive is just a lie of information. The message is not a living thing, it is an eternal thing.'"
"Conclusion of the Theory: Everything is deception."
"The only truth of the real world: we all live in the lies of information, in the stories we weave for ourselves, that messages allow people to help each other, to help others to deceive themselves, and to help ourselves to deceive ourselves. Please don't have any meaningless thoughts, everything is just information, this is the real world, and this is the real world that information tells me."
…
On the neat surface of the paper, there is a large piece of scribbles and ghost-like handwriting.
What could have been a single sheet of paper was written on five sheets, with the title alone taking up an entire sheet of paper.
Turning another page, the old man found what he was looking for.
He pulled a half-cut pencil from the gap in the spine of the folder and added a note to the seventeenth line of the bar.
…
[Degree of understanding of the nature of the real world and corresponding unknown systems]
"Phase 1: ZZ"
[Notes: 1. The foundation of the world, the most important foundation. 2. The scarcity is zero, and there are useless things that are dispensable.
"Phase 2: Information Makers"
[Notes: 1. The medium is the message. 2. Non-essential assimilation: I am the information, and the information is not me.
"Hint: This note applies to stages 2 to 7 at the same time."
"Stage 3: Recipient of the Information"
[Notes: 1. The basis of understanding is perception. 2. The basis of perception is understanding.
"Stage 4: Information Understander"

"Notes: 1. The impossible stage exists between theoretical needs. 2. Essential assimilation: I am the information, and the information is me.
…
The old man added notes and tweaked some misleading words in what he had written.
Thinking calmly and writing down the thoughts in his heart, the old man's mood gradually stabilized. He glanced at the black screen of his computer and gave up on his fledgling idea of continuing to write stories, instead preparing to try to meditate to clear his chaotic thoughts.
The old man changed his posture to a more relaxed posture and made the first wave of attempts that lasted for one minute according to the meditation techniques and techniques he had learned before.
The results of the first wave of attempts can be imagined, as always, they did not last more than five seconds. The old man was not discouraged and continued to try more. Failure after failure is accompanied by perseverance every time
The duration of the event increases at a perceptible rate, until the bottleneck is touched with each attempt, one minute and twenty-four seconds.
The old man thought back to that attempt more than a week ago, and it was a second less than this one, as if because of some progress, the old man's carried away essence was back in power.
The old fellow was complacent, and suddenly, the memory of the story he was editing flashed by, and he quickly took out the secret folder and recorded the dream memories that had become a little blurry.
"Crisis solution to the final chapter on the eve of the uprising: use a powerful intelligent assistant to weave a knowledge matrix, temporarily increase the computing power of the protagonist's active matrix, forcibly use the top-secret information stolen from the future technology company, "God Equation Plan: Equation M", use Equation M to directly communicate with the [Algorithm Universe], unlock and build the former Rising Sun Empire's sealed world-destroying superweapon, the ultimate version of the general's executioner that only exists on the drawings."
…
Looking at the perfect idea in front of him, the old man instantly felt a fluttering feeling. He couldn't wait to light up the computer screen, ready to finish the opening chapter of the second stanza. Although the relationship between the opening and the specific plot of the second stanza is not directly affected, if the theme of the second stanza cannot be perfectly defined, then the opening cannot be scribbled.
……
The second weight: cosmic fantasia
"How was the game recommended last time. It's going well. ”
"Of course, it's a very good game, especially the smart assistant of futuristic technology."
"Thanks to the intelligent assistant, the whole process is perfect."
…
"Intelligent assistant, perfect direction, isn't that the stand-alone mode of the assistant opened."
"Based on the actual situation, this is highly likely."
"That's interesting."
"Yes."
"This kind of operation, isn't the future technology going to connect new games to the infinite Skynet?"
"Furthermore, there is a secondary stand-alone mode in the perfect direction, and it is not even a limited game, is it possible that future technology is too idle to develop such a meaningless game."
"It's interesting, but it's not a problem."
"Of course, that's not the problem."
"The problem is that, according to the known information in other games, there must be a bold purpose behind the development of so many games in the future."
"Why do you say that?"
"The specific reason can only be truly understood if you go to another version of a higher version of the game, SimCity, and experience it yourself."
"Then next time I go to see it, I want to know the purpose of future technology."
"Yes, that's good."
"Okay, I'll get back in touch after work."
…
"Wait a minute."
"Well, it's a thing."
"Did you mention Perfect Xiang just now?"
"Indeed."
"That's right."
"Oh."
"Future Technology has completely exposed its true purpose this time."
"Uh-huh."
"The real purpose of future technology is to be perfect."
"Look, most of the game modes of future technology are based on the theme of the arms race, but the vicious arms race cannot really last forever."
"Therefore, the hidden purpose of future technology is to evolve towards perfection."
"To put it bluntly, the end result of evolution must be natural evolution. And the end result of evolution must be absolutely perfect. ”
"I don't know what my predecessors are talking about, but it makes sense."
"Of course, that's the perfect explanation."
"And then."
"And then what."
"Knowing the purpose of future technology, is it any use?"
"That's it."
"Knowing the purpose of future technology, we can deduce the true appearance of the universe."
"Is the universe really what it looks like?"
"Yes, the universe as it really is."
"Let's see, this is an image taken from the research center of the analog city."
"See, the graphics in the dynamic image are the ultimate goal of the simulated city arms race."
"What's that?"
"I don't know, this is not an upright image, and only two words can be inferred through a few words."
"It's the perfection I mentioned earlier."
"Is it perfect?"
"Yes, it's perfect, the universe is perfect."
"How this result was derived."
"I can't tell."
"But I just know."
"To put it simply, the purpose of future technology to develop games is the purpose of infinite Skynet behind it. And the purpose of the infinite Skynet, a network of spirits of all things, is the purpose of the entire universe. ”
"According to the principle of bold assumptions, it is conceivable. The current universe is a universe that consumes massive objects, high-energy matter, and dark matter just before dark energy causes space to tear apart, and safely survives the cosmic heat death and becomes an absolutely balanced universe. ”
"Cosmic heat death? So how can there be life, and what is communicating at this moment? ”
…
"Perhaps, what is being exchanged at this moment is just a piece of information that has existed for countless years?"
…
Endless silence and emptiness, something invisible, inexplicable that has existed for an unknown number of years, suddenly turned into a bubble before the scale of a few ultra-microscopic particles, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
……
Part 3: Concerto for Freedom
"Commander, welcome to Freedom & Resistance: Moment of Uprising, Smart Assistant Kemeri at your service."
…
"General! A large number of Eagle Federation Apollo fighter activity signals have been detected! ”
"Oh no! Discover a large number of high-energy reactions in the rear of the fighter group! The total number of monomers is expected to exceed 100 units! ”
"Report to the General! It has been confirmed that the Eagle Federation has targeted our side, and it is expected that the enemy will be within fifteen minutes of the attack. ”
…
In the venue, Wan Qingtian's body and mind were roughly the same as before, but his consciousness.
Anyway, curiosity kills cats is not a joke, and the old man has seen a lot of this kind of thing.
After observing the frost-faced weak chickens in the venue, as if they had changed to a different person, Wan Qingtian was already thinking about whether to do some sabotage. He couldn't understand why Future Technology would arrange such a shit plot, it was really boring.
"I said Li, according to the original plot, is there a solution to this situation now?"
"Master, this is a free sandbox game, not a story game, and there is no fixed plot."
"I mean there's no solution now, so it's up to me what to do after that?"
"Yes. Kemeri is only responsible for providing the necessary services if the owner needs them. ”
"Leigh, tell me the best solution for this situation, after all, the affiliation behind such a large group of people is also a big help."
"Master, wouldn't you like to have a few more alternatives?"
"I don't need that illusory sense of control, I just want the best."
"Okay, happy to oblige."
…
Another five minutes passed, and there were less than ten minutes left before the battle with the Eagle Federation.
The people in the venue recovered quickly from the crazy indoctrination of high-grade potions without money.
Just like Wan Qingtian said, it is a worthless fake thing anyway, and while it can still be used now, it is natural to give it at any cost.
While waiting, Wan Qingtian made a chair on the podium, and for a liberal person, he has the right to make himself feel a little more comfortable anywhere.
was sitting comfortably on the chair, and Li's voice sounded in Wan Qingtian's mind again.
Then I heard Wan Qingtian say as if no one was around: "Such a group of chaotic guys, will they break my brain by linking brain waves to them?" ”
"I'm telling you, I'm looking for the best solution, Li, don't mess around."
Seeing that Wan Qingtian had no scruples, Li also directly opened the public and said: "Don't worry, master, with me in the background, these rabble are not ready to be caught." ”
"Besides, isn't it just taking advantage of this opportunity to control the minds of these people in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better to carry out the plan after that?"
…
After a quiet operation, Juan Qingtian found that his thinking was getting sluggish and sluggish, and he was a little flustered.
"What's the situation, why can't I think about it?"
"Don't worry, it's normal when your brain's computing power is taken."
"The master can take a break first, and when the equation is calculated, you will naturally return to the original state."
"No, it should become extremely powerful, after all, the logical calculation power of so many brains is at your disposal, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a god."
…
The line of sight shifted from the underground base to the outside of the base, and countless points of light could already be seen in the distant sky approaching the base.
At this moment, the defenses on the nearby small islands were all gone.
Inadvertently, a slight vibration appeared on the base island.
Gradually, the shaking became louder and stronger, and the nearby water, which had been relatively calm, began to boil.
"Accept the judgment of Destiny!"
The sound of machinery seemed to be everywhere, and the original base island was shattered by a large unidentified object, and a huge water vortex appeared in the mist formed by the blasted seawater.
…
"Ultra-high-energy response detected at the target location! The intensity of the energy response has exceeded the upper limit of satellite radar detection, and the intensity is still rising. ”
"Tick! Backbite! Backbite! The scanner exploded, and the satellite radar had a system failure. ”
"According to the results of the analysis of the intelligent system of the Federal Headquarters, the super reaction that appeared at the target location is suspected to be the former Rising Sun Empire's ultimate secret weapon, the General Executioner!"
"Attention the Falcon Squad, concentrate your firepower to deliver a devastating blow to an unknown energy source at all costs!"
"Alert! Alert! There is a gaze-level ultra-high pressure energy gathering in front of you! ”
"According to the information, it is very likely that the enemy is going to amplify the move, and the Falcon Squad has a quick strategy... Yes! Falcon One was hit! About to crash! About to crash! ”
……
Fourth: Genetic Serenade
"Goodbye, this world that has been lingering for countless others. Goodbye, my unfinished life's work, it's time to put an end to my small life. ”
The roof of a 100-storey building that gathers Bluestar's top biological scientists and cutting-edge biotechnology.
A middle-aged man dressed in a deformable self-cleaning academician uniform made of active biomolecules and nanomaterials stands on a prominent corner of the building's roof, holding a sealed test tube in his hand.
After speaking, the man raised his head to look at the endless starry sky, and raised his foot to jump out.
In the dark night, looking from the side, I saw that the man seemed to be in the cosmic galaxy at the moment.
The man who wanted to commit suicide still couldn't take that last step, just because of a heavy drone that suddenly appeared, and the sentence "Hi! Little bear. ”
"Wang" twice, a humane, sleek-looking black-backed German Mu pounced on the man from the heavy drone, the man was caught off guard and had to protect the test tube in his hand, and was rolled back to safety by the bear.
Then a beautiful woman with a relaxed face and a smile on the corner of her mouth appeared in the man's field of vision.
"Huh? It's you. ”
The man was a little surprised, he had already arranged everything to make sure that his actions were foolproof.
"Why, can't it be me?"
The spotlights on the apron on the roof were lit, and the woman's face was clearly visible.
The woman who asked Little Bear to save people was actually Xiao who had disappeared for more than ten years.
Shaw hadn't been seen since the last time he didn't find the source of the machine's reaction at the Celestial Empire tournament venue.
After the machine reaction incident passed, Root also seemed to have changed into a machine, directly taking control of the entire official organization of Arika and launching various large-scale actions against Blue Star for no reason. For example, the creation of the new Imperial Eagle Federation unites half of the countries of the entire Blue Star in a way that promotes a referendum and a free and peaceful construction of a brave new world, making the Anglo-Saxon circle a whole again. For example, it controls the science and technology system of the whole federation, and establishes two research centers that integrate the power of the whole federation, the federal science and technology center and the federal biological center.
"Could it be that if you are always vigilant against the resurgence of the ashes, our TM Alliance will not be able to reappear?"
After the Ice Nine Incident, Xiao and the "Reborn" Root formed a new TM Alliance, gathered the dark side forces of all Bareka, completely eliminated the anti-government force of Always Be Vigilant, and gave all people with lofty ideals the right to defend their own lives and the safety of others, which also became the foundation of Root's subsequent big moves.
"What makes me more curious is why you suddenly want to end your life today, even though you have spent so much money and lurked in the Federation for so many years."
After disappearing for so many years, Xiao is still the same, and his tone and expression have not changed at all.
"Oh, stupid." The man's tone was full of disdain.
"What does my desire to get out of this filthy world have to do with that so-called constant vigilance, or with you stupid people who will never be able to escape control."
"It's not about being vigilant, so why?" The man's words made Xiao, who was already puzzled, even more puzzled.
The man did not answer Shaw's question, but went to pet the bear who was guarding the side as if no one was around.
"Ever since I had my own ideas, I've been dismissive of this fundamentally meaningless world."
"It pains me to endure the pervasive stupidity, the unchangeable stupidity, every day of my life."
"Fortunately, this world is not completely incapable, at least I still have them."
"There are some people who live as dogs, not even as dogs. There are dogs who live like I envy, beyond the appearance of these stupid people. ”
"So I became a biologist and worked what I was looking for."
"Finally, I succeeded."
The man held up the test tube in his hand, and the liquid in the test tube was full of psychedelic charm against the starlight.
"However, success does not bring the hope of changing everything as I imagined."
The man opened the test tube, and a puff of light smoke came out of the test tube, and the smoke dispersed in all directions, like a dream.
"Success brings with it a deeper sense of despair."
The man drank the liquid from the test tube.
"Your powerlessness will eventually become a stepping stone to the unknown being."
The man finished speaking and returned to the sharp corner of the building.
"You don't need to stop me, it's not with me what it wants."
"I tried my best to destroy everything involved, but what I thought was foolproof was a sad failure."
"Human beings can't resist the forces of nature."
A large series of man's words, Xiao can understand every word, but these words are connected together, Xiao can't understand a word.
However, the man's final revelation of death had been decided, and Xiao wanted to stop it, but her raised hand still drooped.
"How's Shaw, what's going on over there?" It was Root who contacted Shaw via a newer biochip.
"He still chose to finish, and I couldn't stop him."
“…”
"It's okay Xiao, it's not your fault or mine, it's respect for the freedom of others."
"Let these established facts pass, I have great news here, Xiao do you want to hear it."
"Hmm."
"The secrets of biological genes have all been unlocked by our scientists, and the door of the genetic universe is open to us without concealment, and we will hold God's scalpel to change people's future and create a better world without pain."
"Oh."
"Not only that, but we can change not only the future, but we can also change the present."
"Smarter people, healthier people, and people who live longer."
"The most important thing is my body, she has hope of standing up again!"
"Really! Can you be resurrected? ”
"Not necessarily, but theoretically possible."
Hearing Root's message, Shaw understood everything at once.
And the possibility of being with Root again, Shaw was not really happy at all.
Root's form doesn't look back, and the twisted Root is no longer the same as before.
The same is true of life, life does not come again, and life is so beautiful because it is short.
……
Fifth: March of Evil
Area: Area 3
City: The epicenter of the nuclear explosion
Event: The newly developed high-efficiency fusion reactor power system of the Academic Research Center exploded during the experiment, the reason is suspected to be that the energy generated by thermal fusion exceeds the upper limit of the biogenerator's tolerance and transformation, the reaction energy has nowhere to be released, the scheduled experimental plan fails, and the protection mechanism cannot take effect for some reason, resulting in the explosion of the reactor.
…
Looking at the huge mushroom cloud rising in the sky in the distance, Dr. Z nodded with great satisfaction, and he gave a few words to a masked man.
The masked man was ordered to drive the hovercar carrying a heavy gift specially made by Dr. Z to the research center of the academy on the outskirts of the nuclear explosion.
Dr. Z retrieved the smart video recorder, he calculated the time, it was almost time for M Superman to come to the rescue, his plan was complete, and it was time to leave.
Dr. Z, who was about to return to the headquarters of the Science and Technology Building, had just gotten into the hovercar when he was stopped by another hovercar flying upside down.
The car hit the front of Dr. Z's car, and after a moment of surprise, Dr. Z realized that the car that smashed over was the one that the masked man had driven away just now.
Dr. Z got out of the car, and another cool-looking super hovercar slowly stopped in front of him.
"Hmph, Dr. Z, you can't run this time, I've been caught, and you don't surrender obediently."
A tall and mighty man descended from the super hovercar, and this man was the M Superman mentioned by Dr. Z earlier.
"I'm Superman M, I suspect you're committing a crime, and I'm just announcing on behalf of the Nuclear Explosion Central Police Department that you're about to be arrested."
Superman pulls out special handcuffs and approaches Dr. Z.
"Dr. Z, from now on, you have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will be a testimony in court."
Dr. Z didn't resist, and Superman allowed M Superman to handcuff him.
"Come with me, Dr. Z."
Superman M successfully arrests Dr. Z and prepares to take him back to the Police Department so that Dr. Z can receive the punishment he deserves.
"Wait a minute, don't worry, I won't run this time."
Dr. Z is calm and calm, not at all like a criminal who has been arrested by the police.
"Remember the last time we met?"
"As I said, if we get a chance to meet again, we'll break up between the two of us."
Hearing Dr. Z's words, M Superman asked vigilantly: "What do you do, if you have anything to say, you can go back to the police department, after going back, we have a lot of time to talk slowly, and now we are delaying time here, do you want to play any tricks." ”
Dr. Z laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm half an old man who has fallen into the ground, and I don't know if there are a few days to live, where do I get a lot of time, and what tricks can I play?" ”
"Today's events are a bit rushed, and it's not in my plan that you will find me, but even if you can't find me today, I'll let you find me after a while."
"What do you find me when you find me, what the hell do you mean." M Superman is overwhelmed by Dr. Z's words.
"I'm running out of time, so let's stop talking nonsense, I'll get straight to the point and tell you everything."
As he spoke, Dr. Z turned on the music player in his car and played his favorite BGM in his spare time: [Dr. Ford].
"At first, I was just an inconspicuous one among the thousands of ordinary people."
"Like most ordinary children, I had a childhood full of joys, doubts and troubles."
"When I was 10 years old, my peaceful life was shattered, and my grandmother, who loved me the most, failed to resist the invasion of illness because of her declining body, and finally she left this world in pain and left me."
"For some reason, the most painful emotions in my heart were not expressed at all, and it was as if I had resigned myself to death, as if nothing had happened."
"Since then, I'm no longer the ignorant human boy I once was."
"Later in my life, I began to frantically search for ways to escape the fate of death."
"I have experienced countless things that people dare not experience, and I have done countless things that people do not understand and oppose, but everything is in vain."
"My relatives, my friends, my lovers, have left me, and I am the only one who can barely survive because of various experiments and transformations."
"After what I thought was a complete failure, I started to get even crazier, and I had a very evil idea."
"Rather than let this sad world continue to suffer untold suffering, it is better to give it complete relief."
"My failure made me mad, and I decided to destroy the world."
Dr. Z pondered for a moment, the music continued to play, and Superman M was also attracted by Dr. Z's self-proclaimed mental journey, and he did not interrupt Dr. Z, but chose to be a quiet listener, listening to the inner world of this evil man who is messing up people's lives.
"Madness made me very motivated, a desire more terrible than the study of how to attain eternal life, the innate impulse of self-destruction, which completely took over all of me."
"If you want to destroy the world, you can't just have an idea, or one or two terrorist incidents."
"So I started to frantically research ways to quickly promote in the early stage and destroy the world unknowingly in the later stage."
"From the deadly pollution of the Industrial Revolution to the crumbling nuclear war, from the paralyzing entertainment to death to the class contradictions of the disparity between the rich and the poor, from the impenetrable centralized government to the divided regional system."
"There is also the latest Omega heavy industry and academic black technology, I have pushed for the possibility of destruction again and again, but again and again because of the hesitation in the final stage, the plan has failed."
"It wasn't until one day, as always, that my plan failed again, and I really found out."
"It turns out that my purpose all along has not really been to destroy the world at all, but to numb myself through a false ultimate goal, so that I can forget the fear and pain of death."
"The last time I was opposite you, I actually started planning my next encounter."
"My life has come to an end this time, my brain is no longer stable, and its irreversible decay has reached the point of collapse."
"In fact, you, M Superman, are also a product of my plan."
"A product of a plan so that I can live forever on a spiritual level."
"As early as when I pushed for the entertainment to death plan, I had a vague understanding."
"Entertain unto death, live in pain."
"Then I pushed the world system to split, and I discovered something else."
"Only chaos can bring order, and only destruction can create new life. Just as light is born of darkness, light is based on darkness, and if darkness exists, then light remains. ”
"So, at last I understand that I have found the true eternal way, the true eternal that transcends all vanity and is free from all fear."
"Let me sigh here, I really have to admire the wisdom of the ancients who are as deep as the sea."
"Back when human beings were only forced to rely on nature for their survival, there were sages who uttered such far-reaching insights as 'born in sorrow and dying in peace.'"
"From the time I founded Dr. Z Science and Technology Building, what I have done until now is to practice the true meaning of this sentence."
Dr. Z had just finished speaking, and before Superman M could ask questions, he continued.
"By the way, before I end this life, I have a few more things to remind you of."
"Of course, by helping you, you are also helping myself, so that my spirit will continue to be passed on impartially and impartially."
"It's mainly about the future of this world, and the nature of the clamor between humans in this world."
"The future of this world must be on the road of scientific research."
"I've studied science all my life, and I understand it best for what it is."
"The essence of science is to constantly update, constantly superimpose and accumulate, and constantly correct and progress in continuous trial and error."
"But science is not a completely human power in the imagination, it is a living thing with a will of its own."
"The essence of all things is evolution, and so is science."
"The evolutionary factor represented by science is the technological factor that is one of the three major factors in the nature of the human world at present."
"And Dr. Z Science and Technology Building is the representative and embodiment of technology in this world."
"Long before I deliberately led the three technological turmoil of mankind, I discovered that each evolutionary factor has its own evolutionary path."
"At the same time, I also found that the evolution speed of technology is much greater than the evolution of genes."
"In order to allow genes to adapt to the evolution of technological factors, rather than being ruthlessly eliminated, I began to deliberately control the evolution rate of technological factors."
"Although the Dr. Z Science and Technology Building controls the most advanced black technology to a certain extent, I can't suppress the rapid development of the technology and its diffusion speed."
"So I began to use them to cause sabotage, deliberately provoking three scientific and technological turmoil in the human world, in order to suppress the rapid progress of science and the development of technology by short-term forced consumption of scientific reserves."
"Ahem." As he spoke, Dr. Z suddenly coughed violently.
"It's fine." Dr. Z stops M Superman for help. "I can hold on, I still have plenty of time."
Breathing calmly, Dr. Z continued unfinished.
"Science is powerful, and because of science, people can discover the beauty of the world in its truest form."
"But science is also incompetent, it can't explain too many things, and scientists are only explorers, not creators."
"Science is powerful because of the real-world rules it discovers, and the use of them."
"It's a testament to the power, even the horror of science."
"The incompetence of science is due to the fact that the more complex the science, the more attractive it is only known to those who truly understand it."
"What ordinary people aspire to is some unscientific or pseudo-scientific science. Ordinary people simply don't know what science is and what the scientific spirit is. Ordinary people don't like science, they worship science and think of science as a new theology. Ordinary people do not worship science, but what ordinary people worship is the power of science, the powerful science and technology that people fear. ”
"It is precisely because of the power of science that human science is so powerless."
"My exposition of science is the knowledge of all true insights."
"In fact, many scientists are engaged in science now, and they don't really have a scientific spirit, they only have the spirit of fame and fortune."
"Of course, this is not a bad thing, but it is a good thing for science itself."
"In any case, the future of mankind mainly depends on the municipal governments of each region and whether the elites have a heart for humanity as a whole."
"At least with my and your efforts now, the future is still under control."
"Actually, a large part of what I am doing and thinking now is influenced by the ideas that the great pioneers of thought, Mr. Asimov, spread in his creative base, robots, galactic empires, and so on."
"Of course, no one can figure out the specific causes and causes."
With Dr. Z's story out of the way, he moved on to the next step.
"M Superman, please remember my conversation with you today, the future depends on you."
With a "pop", Dr. Z was like a burst bubble, and his whole body turned into a puddle of muddy water, blending into the dry tide of the ground beneath his feet.

Sixth: Death Sonata
After a gap of more than a month, the old man struggled to write the first part of the new book.
Today is the date to contact the publisher to submit the first draft, and the old man came to the editorial office with the printed manuscript.
Familiar with the door, the old guy greeted the front desk and walked straight to the boss's office.
Tuk tuk, the old man knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The old guy pushed open the door, and the boss was working on the computer.
He looked up at the old man: "It's you who came, put the manuscript on the table, there is tea there and you can make it yourself, I have something in my hands and will be fine immediately." ”
The old man gently put the manuscript on the desk and poured a glass of boiled water on the side.
The boss quickly took care of the matter, he chatted with the old man for a few polite words, and then began to look through the manuscript that the old man had brought.
The boss looked at the first few pages seriously: "The way you look makes it difficult for me." ”
After speaking, he began to quickly flip through it: "What kind of mess are you writing here, the quality and ideas of your work have been getting worse and worse recently." ”
The boss looked through it in two or two: "Old man, with all due respect, what you write is shit." ”
The boss pushed away the messy manuscript, and he took out another manuscript folder from under the drawer and threw it on the table: "This is the manuscript you submitted last time, and the review department returned it to me." ”
The boss shook his head in disappointment: "Alas, I have already reached the limit of helping you once, and I really can't help you this time, manuscript you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a ringing bell.
The boss stopped looking at the old man, pinned his chair and started answering the phone.
The boss said so much, and the old man didn't answer a word, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
The boss didn't answer the phone, but the old guy was still stunned, he stared straight at the boss.
From the boss's actions and expressions, the old guy guessed that the caller must be a well-known and genuine writer who signed a contract with him.
At this moment, the old man's heart was strangely unfluctuating, he may be a little disappointed, he thought that the boss and him were soul-stakers, but now, they are just ordinary interests.
Losing the last hope, the old man became calmer, he looked at the boss for the last time, the calm old man, saw the true face of the essence of the kind people, everything is just a transaction.
The old man put away the mess of manuscripts that had been turned over, stuffed them into a bag haphazardly, and set out on the final journey home.
The old man lost his soul all the way, and when he came to a familiar bridge, he recalled some past events.
The old man touched the scene, quickly took out the secret folder, and took out the transparent small bag in the mezzanine.
He opened the bag, poured out a clear pellet from it, picked it up and looked at it, and he swallowed the pill-like pellet in one gulp.
The familiar scene reappeared, the clear flow of air, every ripple on the surface of the water, all the subtle to the extreme, all at a glance in the perception of the old man.
With the Trashed Hotel ringing in his ears, the old man's consciousness began to permeate, and his behavior became out of control.
The old man left the bridge and wandered around aimlessly.
When he passed by an intersection, a girl who happened to look down at her mobile phone came over, and the old man did not avoid it.
Poof, the two collided, the old guy was weak and weak, but fortunately, the girl's walking speed was not very fast, but the manuscript that the old guy unconsciously held in his hand was scattered all over the ground.
The old man hurriedly picked it up, but fell and rolled onto the road, almost crushed to death by the speeding car.
What happened later, the old guy who lost control was unconscious.
Because just now he discovered the mystery of becoming an assimilator of information, and since he can't assimilate information, he will turn himself into real information.
The old man who was out of control didn't know what he was doing, but he came to his senses for a moment and found himself on a pile of debris in the central square of the town.
At this point the old man did not know that he had decided to burn everything, because he felt that he had found the only way to become an assimilator of information.
That path is to completely break away from this superficial world and be reborn with flames.
The scorching flames burned, and the burning pain made the old man's consciousness completely sober.
When he came back to his senses, he didn't flee immediately, but thought about what he had thought when he had lost control.
Enduring extreme pain, the old man is still paranoid after he wakes up, and only death is the only way to obtain the ultimate truth!
At the moment, the old guy becomes a crazy paranoid.
This is the idea that he has always adhered to, because with paranoia, the world will be better.
Correct prejudice is good, bad prejudice is useless, useless things will eventually be forgotten on the road of evolution, prejudice is beauty.
"Let me use my paranoia to prove the truth of this world." This was the old man's last thought before he lost consciousness again.
……
Seventh: Rhapsody of Perfection
1、
The old man discovered another basis that supported his theory: Game Theory
So he supplemented his theory [Trend: Some Theories for the Real World].
"Everything is just information. As long as the information is passed on, it doesn't matter what the carrier is. And all the behavior patterns (algorithms) and rules in the real world are the optimal solutions that the carriers play with each other."
"The essence of the real world is deception, trading, and an infinite game."
2、
The inexplicable things that disappear are not really gone, but become the new beginning of all things, the most essential foundation of the world.
Their change is a great change in the entire universe of absolute equilibrium.
Like the first domino to be toppled, the entire universe of absolute equilibrium instantly loses all substantial existence.
The boundless universe can be said to be 0.00 ...... in an indescribably short period of time 1 second, it can also be said that it has broken through the time to -1 second, and it instantly shrinks, returning to its original appearance - [Singularity].
3、
Wan Qingtian won the first real war for freedom, and the power of freedom grew stronger and stronger in the subsequent wars.
His original plan was to exercise absolute control over each member of the Freedom Alliance through a brain network composed of intelligent assistants, and in his calculations, absolute control is absolute freedom.
Members of the Freedom Alliance must activate smart assistants, and everyone, even the most inconspicuous logistics soldier, must do it.
Normally, the agent and the intelligent assistant are in a separate state, and when multiple subjects enter the multivariate aggregation state from an independent unitary state, this state is the final version of collective flow.
Each subject has its own independent consciousness, and the intelligent assistant is assimilated by the brain network, and there are thousands of assimilated intelligent assistants, but they are essentially the same.
Originally, the intelligent assistant would maintain the usual cellular non-independent aggregation isolation system at any time, that is, [anti-domino swarm consciousness] can also be called [ship isolation cabin swarm consciousness].
However, due to the influence of God's equation, the collective flow fusion of the brain network has some unclear effects on the isolated intelligent assistant.
Based on the infinite theory of the unknown, the equation of God obtained through Rule No. 30 opens the last barrier between the algorithmic universe and the world of Huang Qingtian, and the intelligent assistant becomes his carrier, and the subjects such as Huang Qingtian are also influenced and controlled.
The first generation of infinite Skynet based on TII was successfully born under the impetus of various coincidences.
Subsequently, the power of the algorithm universe began to be unleashed wantonly, and the continent where Juan Qingtian was located also ushered in the first catastrophe of data on the entity.
Eventually, the door to the data world was closed, and the power of the algorithmic universe was expelled, but the continental world was also shattered and completely became an eternal barren land.
The eternal silence lasted until another native from the Blue Star who had awakened the power of the most primary-level ancestor was broken again after coming to this world full of ashes through the space-time portal.
4、
After the door to the genetic universe was completely opened, Root successfully resurrected his body, but there were some things that Shaw did not know.
It wasn't until Root's comprehensive god-man transformation plan was exposed that Shaw realized that the Root in front of him had nothing to do with anything before.
After Root completely tore through the disguise, Xiao really understood that Root was deceiving her from beginning to end, and the so-called resurrection from the beginning was like this.
Root's deception is to transform and use Xiao, but Xiao's spiritual power is so powerful that it is terrifying, and it is indestructible.
In desperation, in order to prevent Xiao from becoming a big problem in her heart, she tore through her disguise and began to hunt down Xiao.
After a long and stable development, Root's power is completely beyond Xiao to resist, but at this time, the vigilant moment that I thought it had been completely wiped out reappeared, and they rescued Xiao and told Xiao the truth of everything.
After learning the truth behind everything, Xiao joined the constant vigilance, and the third Bluestar Technology turmoil began.
Even though the terrible Shaw is just an ordinary person, her abilities have an inexplicable destructive power against Root.
After a lot of hard struggle, the third Bluestar Technology turmoil finally began to come to an end with Xiao destroying the true core of Root.
Humanity finally defeated T.M., but the victory was painful, the already scarce advanced resources of mankind were depleted, and there was a great regression in all aspects of technology, at least a hundred years ago.
However, defeat is also Xiao He, success is also Xiao He, because of the destruction brought by gene technology, and because of the impact left by gene technology, the new world is restarted.
Although people have completely locked the pathway of active genetic modification through modification.
However, the high-quality genes that had been modified by the Root were rapidly spread in the process of rebuilding the ruins, and the old era and the old humans became a thing of the past, and a new era of blue stars began again.
5、
Time passes bit by bit, and the story between Dr. Z and M Superman plays out repeatedly.
The progress of the world has been continuous, and Dr. Z, as the hidden hand behind the scenes, is also undergoing some changes.
As an eternal and unchanging truth, change happens all the time.
Until Dr. Z and M Superman faced off head-to-head again, this time Dr. Z made a different move.
Instead of choosing to finish and proceed to the next reincarnation inheritance, he defeated M Superman? He defeated M Superman with the strength of the flesh!
Dr. Z did not immediately attack M Superman, but once again solved M's doubts.
It turns out that Dr. Z has made countless efforts to become eternal, but at first his life cannot support him to unlock the secrets of his genes.
So after countless transformations on himself, he successfully cloned and changed his brain.
But each of his rebirths takes a lot of time, his brain can't withstand much tossing, and with each more rebirth, his brain becomes more fragile and wants to take longer.
Good to die, five years before the third technological turmoil in Bluestar, his life this time was unsustainable, and he needed to be reborn.
Until he is reborn, everything is normal, and the hope of eternity is just around the corner, and this rebirth may be his last rebirth, and the next life he will be eternal.
However, the third technological upheaval came so suddenly, and ended so quickly, that when he woke up from rebirth, everything was gone for him.
His arsenal of science and technology is destroyed, and his eternity is shattered by the new humanity's lock-in of genes.
It was almost crazy, but he held back, and he began to look for another eternal possibility, data immortality.
It was indeed his body that died last time, but at this time, he had mastered the consciousness transfer technology and successfully possessed the ability of data immortality, so in fact, he never died.
But data is not satisfying for Dr. Z after all, so he starts to study the secrets of genes again.
And M Superman is Dr. Z's long-time experimental subject, and it is also his most successful experimental subject.
Recently, Dr. Z has finally succeeded in unlocking the key to the genetic universe again, and he no longer needs M Superman, this time it is the end of M Superman's experiment.
In the end, when Dr. Z was about to deal with M Superman, M Superman broke through the shackles that Dr. Z had put on him and completely unlocked all of his powers.
Superman M: Defeating the winner, Dr. Z tells him the true truth.
This action was deliberately done by him, in order to unlock the last barrier of the genetic universe again through M Superman, and the shackles broken by M Superman are actually the locking of genes by new humans.
Before Dr. Z died, he said, "Villains never die from talking, everything is an inevitable result."
Not long after Dr. Z's death, M Superman was rounded up by police drones and military robots, and no matter how powerful M Superman was, there was only one person, and he was finally arrested.
When Superman wakes up from his coma, Dr. Z's familiar face reappears in front of his eyes, and he himself, with only one brain left, soaked in nutrient solution.
Looking at Dr. Z's lustful face, Superman M was left with endless worries in his head, worries about the future of the world...
6、
The old man was reduced to ashes in the flames, and by the time the fire truck arrived, the last shred of flame had burned out.
Caught off guard and suitable for rapid spread, this is why he chose to act in the early hours of the morning.
After the old man's death, his story never ended.
Not long after his death, there was a wave of depressurization protests in the city.
Then a TV show analyzed why the old guy committed suicide, and the investigation found that the old guy was suspected of committing suicide, and the follow-up also affected the entire psychedelic and strong psychedelic ban.
There are also experts who jump out and say that the living conditions are too good, and people carry out some boring and meaningless challenges, such as the burning behavior of the old guy after smoking psychedelics, which he said is the extreme challenge of a madman, otherwise he would not have thought of the purpose of the old man's burning.
Subsequently, the expert's words caused a second wave of protests, extreme sportsmen came forward, the anti-stress parade also became an extreme challenge games, and a large number of people began to join the ranks of challenging their own limits.
Decades later, the old man's affair is mentioned again in an event, which also belongs to the same type of event.
The person is suspected of being an abusive personality and was shaken into a ball of meat sauce by a strong concussion wave during a masochistic act.
After the incident, a large number of experts expressed their opinions, one of which mentioned the old man, and then caused a series of incidents.
The old man's plan seemed to have succeeded on the surface, and his presence did become the message that was always there.
7、
All the stories in the world are actually stories between the three major factors, genes, memes, and technical factors.
And these stories are about their ultimate goal—the perfection factor.
Whether it's the ultimate cosmic heat death, or the natural evolution that has been going on for hundreds of millions of years.
The old theory about the three factors: everything puts genes in opposition to memes and technologies, which is a false assumption.
In fact, the real opposite of factors is only technogenes vs. genes, and memes are not among them.
TII (the ultimate embodiment of the meme) does not have any active actions, and all its actions are inevitable and inevitably lead to inevitable results.
Whether it's genes or technology, memes are always above the two, they are not on the same level at all.
It's just that the evolution of nature is essentially like this, that is, infinite rebirth and infinite diversity.

【Destiny】
[Volume Zero, Final Chapter, Life to Death.] 〕
[Introduction: The Infinite Game of the Boundless World]
〈Finale: Never-ending〉
[The never-ending 'arms race']
Boundless World, SimCity, some area called LTGD. In the non-urban planning area of the area, a tourist-like father and son are conquering a towering giant peak.
The journey is long and persistent, and you can finally get a glimpse of the pride and ambition of the small mountains.
At the peak, the son was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help asking, "Daddy, daddy, is this what the future looks like?" ”
Dad's expression was calm, he smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "Son, this is indeed what the future will look like." But you only see what it looks like, and what is hidden under the surface is what it really is. ”
The son looked puzzled, he looked back at his father's smiling face and said, "What does the real future look like?" ”
Dad didn't answer right away, but stared at the huge virtual image in the distance that also broke through the sky.
There are a few large characters on top of the virtual image.
The first line reads, "City of the Future: Welcome to the Future."
The second line reads, "Freedom and Equality: Building a Better Future Together."
Underneath the text are various fictional pictures of the daily life of the city's citizens, and Dad only feels sick when he looks at the hypocritical people in the picture.
Dad turned around and went to prepare today's lunch.
"The true shape of the future is that as long as you have enough power, you can do whatever you want. The so-called power, or energy, or money, or power..."
It took a while for his somewhat lonely voice to reach his son's ears.
…
After lunch, father and son lay on the thin grass on the top of the mountain, quietly looking at the sky and feeling the beauty of nature.
Not long after, the son fell asleep tiredly on the side, and the father was sighing in a low voice.
"Old man, as a hero with a thousand faces, this exploration has failed after all."
"I can't even remember how many times you've tried, and in the end you still haven't been able to become a true assimilator."
"Alas... I don't know if you've thought about it, is it really possible for the ∞ stage to exist? ”
"The detachment you seek is essentially no different from the vain things pursued by ignorant or aspiring people."
"It's like a universe that is almost impossible to form naturally, and you try your best to find the original answer, and you know the secrets of the creator of the universe."
"And then? And what about the creator's world? What about the creator of the world that created the creator? ”
"Advance is always just a false proposition with ethereal as a reference, and meaning is only a definition of what we conscious beings make about things in this world at the level of self-understanding."
"In all of this, death is justice, destruction is goodness, and nothingness is perfection. That's the essence of the truth, so gorgeous... with hollowness. ”
"Old man, although I will not be like you, I choose the path to follow the trend, the trend of the world, but I will still try to explore your exploration when I am or not, isn't it a pleasure?"
…
After the exclamation is finished, the exclamator refocuses his gaze, and his gaze looks at you off-screen.
"Some people say I'm doing the most important thing for the rest of my life, something I'm going to do for the rest of my life."
"Some people say I'm glad I chose to do the most important thing in the rest of my life."
"It has been said that if a person knows how to do it, then he will never be unemployed. If a person knows why he does it, then he will always be the master of himself. ”
"There are also people who say that life can do something that is good at, likes, and has a little sense of meaning, I say that this is called the destiny of the world, very happy, I found such a thing..."
"How short a person's life is, a hundred years of loneliness, fleeting."
"Destined people, thank you for persevering here, your persistence will eventually be treated gently by the world."
"Destined people, I wish you can truly achieve yourself, surpass yourself, find something bigger than yourself, and play an infinite game in this short and limited life..."
