The ball of light was slowly moving, curiously surveying the contents of the room, perhaps the "old mechanical gadgets" stirred up memories of its past.

It didn't leave the room though, and seemed very polite.

Yu Yifeng whispered to everyone: "...... If the other party's energy is limited, we should hurry up, and any piece of information can take many detours for us. If there is anything you want to ask, you should think of your questions in turn......"

At this point, many scientists began to go crazy. I finally came across a civilization that was so powerful that I don't know how much, and this civilization showed some kind of goodwill to mankind, and people naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

“…… We're sorry, but we can't make our technology available to you at this time. Because our cognition is also limited, and it also has limitations. Moreover, the butterfly effect of providing knowledge is simply too huge. ”

The ball of light didn't mind much: "...... If it weren't for this tachyon communicator, we wouldn't even interfere with the development process of any low-level interstellar civilization. ”

Hearing this, the scientists were immediately a little depressed.

The being continued, "Similar to that of the lower civilization lineage, it is also difficult for us to predict whether this conversation will be good or bad for you over time......

"In the process of civilization development, the butterfly effect caused by the passage of time is something more complex than genes. We are afraid to provide more knowledge that will benefit you now, but later on it will hinder ourselves, or, other civilizations......"

"Predictions about your individual civilizations are difficult...... The hindrance effect on other civilizations is even more difficult to predict. ”

“…… In the infinite amount of time, perhaps a civilization could have gone ahead of us, but it was invisibly ruined by this conversation...... If that's the case, we'll regret it. ”

The other party refused to teach knowledge for this reason...... Many sighed.

Moreover, human beings do not dare to swear that after gaining more advanced knowledge, they will not interfere with the development of other civilizations from now on.

After all, the new human civilization still has to live in the material world, and if it continues to explore the galaxy, it will inevitably intersect with the surrounding civilizations...... It is possible to have an event such as a war.

The being finally said, "So, at this stage, we generally have a policy of non-interference with civilizations that still have potential. As for this time...... When the energy of the tachyon communicator is exhausted, that is the end of our conversation......"

There are also some people who think silently, and they are distinguishing the truth of this paragraph.

Yu Yifeng instantly thought of several diametrically opposed views.

First, the Light Cluster doesn't have much reason to deceive humans, it tells the truth.

The sower civilization must be an extreme, extremely powerful existence, and it is even possible that it has come to the end of science and begun to climb the path of philosophy......

There are only a handful of civilizations that can develop to this level in almost the entire universe, and they need to undergo extremely harsh and rigorous screening.

Such a civilization is not something that human beings can easily speculate.

And this dialogue, just by chance, is another "coincidence", which is a once-in-a-lifetime good fortune for mankind!

"If you miss this opportunity, there may not be another one."

Second, the sower civilization is the main manipulative force behind the scenes.

For some reason, it has come to deceive humanity.

Or...... Such deception is part of manipulation in itself.

As for what the purpose is, of course, it is impossible for humans to guess......

Third, there are either other equally powerful or more powerful civilizations manipulating humanity.

Because he noticed one of them, that is...... "There is no interference with civilizations that still have potential".

The Sower civilization is such a policy of favoring peace, yes, but what about other higher civilizations?

"It is impossible for all higher civilizations to have the same policy. Maybe some civilizations like to push others? ”

And also...... If civilization has no potential and is in a state of stagnation, will it be interfered with by advanced civilizations?

"There is such a probability."

It is even possible that there is a more advanced and powerful civilization...... Manipulated the "sowers" into it too?!

So, what is this more powerful being?

Yu Yifeng frowned and meditated.

"Hey, there's so little data to analyze right from wrong. Let's just assume that what it says is true, such an existence is already unimaginable, and the probability of deceiving us is not large. ”

He was a little distressed and gave up thinking about it.

And according to the calculations of scientists, the light blue ball of light has shrunk a little.

Since you can't ask scientific questions, let's hurry up and ask some philosophical questions or information about the universe...... I don't know if it will answer.

"Are you...... Immortal? A scientist asked curiously.

"It's not." Hearing this question, a slight smile came to my mind: "Thinking from your point of view, we are indeed immortal and can exist for a long, long time. ”

But from an infinite point of view, even the universe will eventually be destroyed, and we are not immortal. And we don't chase eternal life. ”

"Of course, that's the answer we've gotten so far, and the answer is different for different civilizations."

"Why?" The scientist was puzzled.

"What do you think eternal life is? Is it a material that cannot be lost, or is it information that cannot be lost? In the face of such a philosophical question, it seems to have caught the interest of the light group, which makes it light up slightly.

"It should be...... Info it. The scientist replied.

Memories and information should be about the same equivalent. The cells of the human body are changing all the time, there is metabolism all the time, there are substances to replace, and for the human body, the substances that cannot be lost seem to be non-existent.

"The condition of never discarding information means that intelligent life can never forget something important. Eventually, as time goes by, an intelligent life that can't discard important memories will find itself with more and more memories, right? ”

The scientist opened his mouth: "Yes. In an infinite amount of time, there may be an infinite amount of important information......"

The being said: "In this case, if the processing speed of life cannot be increased indefinitely, it will not be able to process more and more memories, and will live in the vast memories of the past over and over again. ”

"The so-called 'eternity' will only become a prison, and will not make the field of creation and exploration endlessly wider and wider. It could also be nirvana, it could become infinity, but, is that still life?"

The scientist was speechless.

This passage is very jerky, but people still understand it after chewing it carefully.

Even the universe is not infinite, and the speed of information processing of life is bound to be limited. If this is really the case, infinite life will only make a living being, haunted by its infinite memories, more terrible than death.

With the passage of time, eternal life will only live in its own memory?

"Perhaps, we can solve this problem by throwing away information constantly." People asked unwillingly.

"After discarding the information, that time of existence has been completely forgotten. For a living being, did it ever happen, and what does it mean? ”

"After constantly throwing away information, the old life has gradually died, and the new life has been born, hasn't it? This cannot be said to be eternal life. ”

The ball of light flickered slightly: "For us, all this is caused by the void of space, we are just biological tissues built of elementary particles, and we will eventually accompany the universe towards nothingness...... Of course, that's just our answer. There is no final answer to philosophical questions. ”

This passage is relatively easier to understand, but the answer is not rosy, but rather a little cold.

Even such beings think that they will eventually perish, which makes the people here a little confused.

People will die, civilization will be destroyed, and only death is the ultimate existence.

What's the point of everything?

Yu Yifeng stepped forward and asked, "I don't understand, we are still afraid of death." Our every move is to deviate in the direction of the high probability of survival. Isn't the pursuit of existence our ultimate goal? ”

"This is because your thinking is essentially regulated by the philosophy of genes, and you want to survive, you want to continue, this is the goal of genetic material. ”

"But we believe that intelligent life is a thing produced by the universe to know itself, and when intelligent life truly recognizes the nature of the universe, the mission of intelligent life is over, and he will either live forever or perish."

"Knowing the universe is the purpose of our existence. Existence is only for the sake of cognition. ”

"But how boring it would be to really know everything in the universe. No surprises, nothing new. If we take the place of the entire universe, we might as well choose to perish...... If we continue to live, this extraordinary and endless fate is too miserable, and we don't want to be extraordinary. ”

People were amazed, yes, everyone could understand every word that the light group said.

But being able to understand does not mean that you recognize, nor does it mean that you can truly understand.

The most difficult thing for a person to deceive is his own heart, you understand it, and even be convinced, but there is no way to do it yourself.

"One...... Race that exists only for the sake of cognition......"

In the face of such a civilization, a strong sense of confusion arose in everyone's hearts.

People are still genetic slaves, but the other party is not, most likely, the other party has passed the next time, the next time, or even all the screenings.

"One...... Discussion of Slaves and Emperors. ”

The genetic-philosophical web of survival and reproduction is as ridiculous as air for such a super civilization.

"Compare with such a being, alas, ......"

After thinking for a long time, Yu Yifeng shook his head and gave up the entanglement of this issue, plucked up his courage, and asked a very important information for human beings: "Are we the product of natural evolution, or are we artificially created?" ”

The question involves whether there is a manipulator behind the human being.

Everyone pricked up their ears, slightly nervous.

"Of course it evolved naturally."

It paused for a few seconds, as if observing something, and then replied in a different tone, "But there seems to be something wrong with your appearance......"

"It seems that some little guy has done genetic tests in this star field...... So much so that at that time a million years ago, all the intelligent life that appeared was assimilated into a similar appearance. Not...... Interesting experiments. ”

The words spoken by this existence made Yu Yifeng's heart feel cold.

Almost everyone was stunned, and their hearts were tingling.

"Is there a civilization in this area that has done genetic experiments?" This sentence makes people feel a wave of discomfort, as well as ...... Wrath.

At the same time, there is another meaning contained in it, which also makes Yu Yifeng start to think.

Humanity is a product of natural evolution, and this has been reconfirmed, much to the relief of almost everyone. In this day and age, no one likes to be "created by God".

"But some of the genes about appearance have been slightly modified?!"

Yu Yifeng had to have this strange question.

Because the Dig people I have seen before look more like humans, and the time when they evolved intelligence is similar to that of humans.

"Native lizards have only evolved intelligence in nearly 100,000 years, so they don't look like humans?"

"In other words, some inexplicable, brain-sick advanced civilization, because of its own personal preferences, wantonly modified the appearance of primitive intelligent beings a million years ago? What is this, performance art? ”

This kind of behavior made him feel a thick and helpless anger.

But he had to think hard about what it would be if humans weren't what they were......

Orang? Orangutan people? Monkey people?

"Indeed, some of the evolutionary directions of human beings are a bit weird...... Why do you have to lose all the cold hair on your body? Actually, there are pros and cons to each other......"

The Diggers were supposed to be ...... A scaly fish-man, a crocodile with a bloody mouth, or a shark?

And it turned out to be like this?

This is...... What kind of technology?! Yu Yifeng felt a burst of panic and clenched his fists tightly.

"Looking at it this way, it seems that after being modified, it seems to be a little more pleasing to the eye?!"

Alas, these advanced civilizations, how to put it, are simply ......

Seeing the crowd of people who were contemplating and had different faces, the being said with a slight teasing: "Look through these outward things, little ones, your core has not been modified. Is there much difference between being beautiful and ugly in the pursuit of wisdom? All these perceptions are just genes for the sake of reproduction. ”

Yu Yifeng couldn't help asking, "What should you do if you encounter a civilization that looks the same as you?" What kind of psychology will it produce? ”

The being didn't pause, and said directly, "...... There is nothing annoying about us at all. We have completely freed ourselves from the shackles of genes, physical characteristics are not in our consideration, and we think that as long as the thinking form is similar to ours, we can join us and become one of us. ”

"Even if the genes are different?"

"yes...... Why cling to such superficial things? Genetic material is just ......" Lightball said with a smile, "We ourselves are a civilization composed of different species...... Oh, that was more than 10 million years ago. ”

Hearing this, although people felt a deep sense of incomprehension, they quickly calmed down, perhaps...... It's already a little numb.

For such an existence, everything has been looked down upon, and everything on the surface has been thrown away, which is the greatest freedom in the universe.

Yu Yifeng suddenly thought of the speculation about a top-level civilization in cosmic sociology:

“…… That is, under the omniscient transcendence. ”

"This kind of civilization, which has gone through many tribulations, has gained insight into the laws and laws of almost all things, from the most macroscopic to the most microscopic, from a space larger than the multiverse to a space smaller than Planck's scale, they have understood the most fundamental problem of the operation of the entire material world, and are infinitely close to the outside truth."

"Is there an end to the macro level? Is there an end to the micro level? What is the nature of space-time? What is the starting point for everything? Where will it go? Does the world really exist or does it exist consciously?"

"These ultimate questions that humans seem almost crazy, they have found the answers."

"They don't need society, they don't need morality, they don't need everything that seems to have nothing to do with the truth."

“…… Only this kind of small probability, because of a certain unique pleasure, can lead them to appear, and perhaps in the future, we will never come into contact with this kind of civilization again. No matter how powerful the interstellar civilization is, for them, due to their naïve nature, they are just a bunch of fools. ”

At this moment, Yu Yifeng truly felt that the philosophical level of human beings was actually no different from that of low-level civilizations.

It's just that science and technology are more developed, so what's so great about it?

Is it true that you are stronger than me, and you are greater than me?

Your technology is higher, your industry is stronger, and you are greater than me?

Of course not......

It was difficult to tell such subtle emotions, and he silently quieted down, pondering, pondering......
