Chapter 162: Three Questions
Xu Liang: "I have the key." β
As he spoke, he pulled out the key.
It was a bracelet-like gadget with 13 sections. Each section is a very delicate part that looks very high-tech. Eleven of the 13 knots are still jet-black and shiny black, with a very nice metallic sheen, and two of them have turned gray.
It's the kind of gray that after learning a skill, it becomes unusable. These two dots turned gray, respectively after providing Xu Liang's perceptual thinking and Duan Han's rational thinking.
Now, Xu Liang took it out again. He already knew that it was called the "Key to the Arena of Civilization".
Duan Qing was beside him, looking at the whole process: "The key has 13 sections, and the groove also has 13 sections, just matching, so." β
"Put it on it, and you can break through this light curtain?"
"Estimates?" Duan Qing said, "I didn't go in here either. β
Then she added: "Actually, after getting this arena, I have tried countless times...... The process is omitted β as a result, no method can be entered. In other words, the defense of this light curtain is invincible to humans in the current stage of science and technology. β
"It's a pity that this pig doesn't know." Xu Liang said and put the key up.
After thousands of mountains and rivers, we have finally come to this point.
But the moment the key was put on, Xu Liang suddenly felt that the matter was still so far from the end?
The light curtain is gone.
But they still couldn't get in.
Because a woman suddenly appeared in the air and stopped in front of Xu Liang and the others.
Or it didn't appear out of thin air, this woman was turned into by that light curtain.
A woman made of light.
It's not that there's a holy light on her body or something, it's that she's a light herself. Her body is transparent, and through her body, the details of the villa behind her can be seen. The outline of her body is light.
Like the light curtain just now, it was obviously a disembodied light, but it was condensed together, but it made the three of them really feel her existence.
The moment the key was placed, the light shield that blocked the way changed, from a uniform, extremely thin shield shape, to gradually converge and grow. Eventually became a woman. stopped in front of Xu Liang and the others.
By the way, this woman is beautiful.
Compared with the Duanqing and Duanhan sisters, the two sisters are very super beauties. But the women in front of them who are completely composed of light (light beauties) are not much worse than them. And because of the light curtain effect bonus, there is also a special beauty.
The clothes worn by this bare beauty are also very interesting, which is the kind of butler dress of a medieval English manor.
It's the polite suit that usually a butler in his fifties or sixties wears, but it's worn by a woman. It seems to have a strange sense of novelty, but it is associated with the back of her (guard?). This kind of dress seems understandable.
Seeing this scene, the three of them reacted differently.
Duanqing had a sense of relief, it had been a long time since she got to the arena, and she had spent countless efforts without progress. It's going to be a little exciting to see a new twist all of a sudden.
Duan Han asked Xu Liang to touch this light beauty. Xu Liang directly refused.
Joke!
The roast pig just now hasn't been cleaned up yet! Lao Xu instinctively feels that this light beauty is extremely dangerous! I think, that large light curtain just now can turn into a pig to burn to death, can it become a beauty, and then it can also conjure a laser to make a hole in his old Xu, right?
There is a great danger. But now, anyway, he can only let it go.
He stepped forward and took two steps, faintly protecting the two girls behind him:
"Hey old girl, let's chat?"
The beauty of the light did not answer, did not speak.
Xu Liang frowned and looked back at Duan Qing: "She can't understand the Northeast dialect, can you try it in English?" β
Duanqing shook her head, she still stared at the beautiful woman with the light curtain. So Xu Liang also turned around again, and he found that although the light beauty didn't speak, her meaning had been expressed very clearly.
A huge display appeared next to her. She was like a commentator, motioning to Xu Liang and the three of them to pay attention to the display screen:
"The Key to the Arena of Civilization has been detected."
"The key has been opened parts: two. - Potential: Great. β
"Kind of Civilization: Human."
"Status: Critically endangered."
"Energy Utilization: Much Less Than the First Order."
"Number of individuals: well below one million."
"Overall assessment: probability of surviving for more than one year: much less than 0.1%."
"Qualifications for admission to the Arena of Civilization...... ...... in the evaluation"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The data was listed one by one, and all three of them stared at it carefully. Even Duan Han, who had been engaged in research for 10,000 years, raised his head and stared at the huge monitor next to the light beauty.
Is this what is left of human civilization?
With the exception of the "potential" column, all the remaining items are expressed in the word "much less than". It has to be said that this is most likely an objective evaluation given by the Arena of Civilizations. In other words, the reality can only be worse than it is, not better than it is.
But that last sentence, especially that flickering ellipsis, gave them some hope.
Eventually, the ellipsis in the calculation changed and became a text.
Special conditions, to be exact.
"Based on the comprehensive condition assessment, please answer three questions, and based on the answers, decide whether the participant is eligible to enter."
Looking at this text, the three of them looked at each other......
Examination?
Answer?
Xu Liang suddenly smiled. He felt that the wave would be very stable.
If it's an exam answer, there may be other problems on their side, but there are two big scientists! It's easiest to take the exam.
He looked back at the big screen again and saw that the first question had already begun:
"According to the initial state of the most prosperous situation of your civilization, design a human social system that can develop steadily for 1,000 years."
Xu Liang looked at the two of them.
Obviously, he couldn't help with this kind of answering questions at all.
Duan Qing stepped forward: "I'll come." β
Only Duanqing can complete this kind of design. After all, even if you want to find a designer among the 7 billion people, Duanqing must be the best.
The method of answering the question given by the light curtain is very advanced. It's kind of similar to the all-around super of Civilization games. But it's much better than Civilization games. It involves almost every conceivable parameterβpopulation, technology, food, apprentices, energy, economy, culture, military, factions...... It is hard to imagine how such a complex problem can be simulated in this way, and it is even more difficult to imagine that Duanqing can dare to answer this kind of question by herself.
How to develop a society?
This is a question that countless economists, political scientists, military strategists, sociologists, futurists, natural scientists, and other people who need to be involved in all aspects and fields together may not be able to answer it.
It's a question that no president can answer β and if he did, there would be no president.
Xu Liang didn't know if Duan Qing could do it, but he could see that she was working hard. Moreover, Xu Liang's confidence in Duan Qing gradually disappeared......
He found that he had the idea that he had two top students on his side who could answer questions casually...... It could be wrong.
This...... What's the problem?
How to build a river crab society?
Is this really a "solvable problem"?
If it can really be solved...... No, this question should be harder than all the hardest math proof problems in the world, right? But that's the first question......
Xu Liang looked at Duan Qing and tried to answer.
In fact, she's struggling to adjust the parameters right now.
The huge light curtain gave her an almost infinite number of parameters, and all she had to do was constantly adjust them. It can make this virtual human society continue to run long enough without collapsing. I don't know if there are hundreds or tens of thousands of parameters, and these parameters affect each other through complex functions.
Duanqing's brows furrowed more and more.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, she pressed the OK button!
That means she's decided to submit an answer!
Duan Qing's expression looked firm, but Xu Liang read some worry in it.
"The parameters of your design have been submitted."
"The system automatically rehearses the answers you submit."
"...... in Simulation"
"The simulation is over!"
"The social system you designed, after 37 years of operation, collapsed because of lack of food."
"You've failed."
"Redesign?"
Duanqing frowned and chose "yes"!
Xu Liang had been watching from the side, although he didn't understand those complicated parameters. But she could still see Duanqing's expression, this thing ...... It's definitely difficult.
Fortunately, it is not the kind of question that ends after answering once, looking at the explanation next to it, this should belong to the "maze type of problem".
In other words, if you succeed once, you succeed. For example, if you fight Contra, as long as you pass it once, even if you complete the clearance, it doesn't matter how many times you die in the middle and how many times you try again. As long as it succeeds once, people don't ask for a perfect clearance.
This makes it less difficult.
Xu Liang was originally worried that there was only one chance, but when he knew that there were infinite opportunities to answer, he was actually secretly relieved. Since it can be answered an infinite number of times, it would be good to keep adjusting each parameter? Anyway, there will always be a time when you get it right.
When he came up with this idea, he looked at Duan Qing.
Duanqing's face is still not good, and it is getting worse and worse.
Soon, she clicked on the confirmation data for the second time to submit the answer -
"The parameters of your design have been submitted."
"The system automatically rehearses the answers you submit."
"...... in Simulation"
"The simulation is over!"
"The social system you designed, after 46 years of operation, collapsed because of heavy pollution."
"You've failed."
"Redesign?"
Duan Qing continued to choose yes.
Xu Liang watched from the side. It has been determined that you can answer an unlimited number of times, and if you type the answer fast enough, and the computer runs fast enough, then even if you type it casually, you will be able to touch the correct answer one day? It's like a test paper with only ten 4-choice 1 choice questions, as long as the number of people who do the test paper exceeds 1 million, then it is almost inevitable that someone will randomly come up with the correct answer?
But Duanqing's brows became tighter and tighter.
"The simulation is over!"
"The social system you designed, after 78 years of operation, collapsed because of a lack of energy. Is it a redesign? β
"The simulation is over!"
"The social system you designed collapsed and redesigned after 60 years of overpopulation?"
"The simulation is over!"
"Is the social system you designed to collapse after 11 years of operation because of an all-out war of unequal distribution of resources?"
"Crashed, redesigned?"
"Crash!"
One time at a time, Duan Qing stubbornly clicked that is. But each click also took longer and longer, and with each interval, she would do more calculations and adjust the balance on the various assistive devices that came with the screen, but all of them failed. She still stubbornly chose the button, but her face became paler and paler.
One last time, she stretched out her trembling hands. But at the same time, his legs went limp, and he sat back.
Xu Liang dragged her from behind: "Break? β
Duan Qing shook her head.
She stood up from Xu Liang's arms, wanting to click the "yes", her eyes were full of exhaustion. Xu Liang had never seen Duan Qing look like this. She is the most outstanding designer in human society, but it seems too difficult to face such a problem.
Duan Qing stubbornly reached out to revise her answer.
Xu Liang helped her from below and dragged her back.
Xu Liang: "Listen to me." I feel like there's something wrong with this light curtain, especially the beauty that this light curtain has become......"
"You go away!!"
Duanqing's voice was hoarse, as if she had exhausted all her energy. But this sentence was shouted very loudly. She pushed Xu Liang directly back, and walked a few steps forward by herself, coming to the big screen. His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the numbers on the screen.
People with various parameters and relationships were dazzled, Xu Liang was completely dizzy at a glance, but saw that Duanqing was still staring.
His eyes were bloodshot.
Xu Liang sighed and walked over. went to Duan Qing's side and blocked her sight: "Listen to me first, this problem may be problematic in itself." β
Duanqing Muran shook his head: "If you don't understand, it's almost there." These parameters are all internally fixed, and as long as the balance can be adjusted, the 1000 years of continuous equilibrium required in the question can be achieved. β
Xu Liang: "No......"
Duan Qing shook his head fiercely: "You don't understand!" β
Xu Liang pressed her round shoulders with both hands, squatted down and looked at her seriously: "It's you who don't understand!" β
Duan Qing didn't speak.
Xu Liang: "Think about it, you have done so many experiments, not even more than 100 years old, but the title requires 1000 years, 1000 years!" The topic itself is problematic! Do you want to understand? β
"I don't know the various disciplines and formulas, but I know one thing. So many brilliant people have come and gone through ancient and modern times, Confucius and Mencius? Sakyamuni? Adam smith? Marques? Who can calculate even 100 years into the future? I know you're strong, you're even stronger than those people in some ways, I know you're the strongest designer of humanity, the builder of the strongest system ever, but this question is really not a question that can be answered by an individual, do you understand? The question itself, is problematic! β
Duanqing: "You ......"
Xu Liang looked at her seriously: "Believe me, my intuition is very accurate." I think it's not so much a question as an allegorical ...... Think about it, this villa, with this thing with a lawn and a small second floor, its name - Civilization Arena, right? β
"Think about it, why would this light curtain beauty ask such a question? Why didn't she ask for the proof of 1+1? Why not ask the Pengale conjecture? Why not ask the super questions that are recognized as unsolvable? β
"It's civilization." Xu Liang continued, "I think this light curtain woman may be hinting at the direction of the development of our civilization? β
"Maybe the so-called economic, political, state, and military theories are actually wrong?"
Duan Qing finally calmed down a little.
She sat back for a moment, weakly. The huge mental work just now had already consumed a lot of her physical strength unconsciously. Duanqing closed her eyes and rested for a while before opening them. She looked at Xu Liang with something inexplicable in her eyes: "Then what should I do?" If you don't answer the question, you won't be able to get by......"
Xu Liang: "Don't be in a hurry......
Duanqing hurriedly said: "How can I not be in a hurry?!" Not to mention, those giant insects behind us could break through at any time and crush us here. I've been studying this civilization arena for ten years! A whole decade! I just watched it but couldn't get in! Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to let it go! β
Xu Liang: "I understand, I understand......"
When the two of them said this, Duan Han suddenly walked up from behind.
"Sister. You rest, I'll try. β
Duan Qing: "Sister, you can't. It's not what you're good at, it's a problem with complex system building, if you change it to your style...... Do you want to delete all this data? β
"Hmm." Duan said with a cold face.
Xu Liang was surprised!
Duanqing was surprised!
She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Duan Han to really delete all the data on the panel!
Economic, political, cultural, national, military, population, resources, energy...... Countless contents, data, relationships, functions, all deleted!
Xu Liang and Duan Qing looked at her in shock. I saw Duan Han think for a moment, and then re-list something new on the screen.
The new stuff is incredibly simple:
Queen ant - king ant - soldier ant - worker ant. And a simple explanation: all "ants" are replaced with "people".
Then, Duanhan added some simple parameters.
Click on the button "Yes".
During the whole process, Xu Liang and Duan Qing stared at the whole process, and their shock was indescribable. Because this question is a problem of human society, but Duan Han answered the answer of ant society, and then forcibly transplanted it to "human society". And this also means that those parameters that Duanqing has debugged for a long time just now are all invalid and cannot be used.
Now, it's just a matter of looking at what this near-nonsense wave of input will be.
"The parameters of your design have been submitted."
"The system automatically rehearses the answers you submit."
"...... in Simulation"
"The simulation is over!"
"The social system you designed has been running successfully for more than 1,000 years and is still alive."
"The first wave of testing is over."
The three of them looked at each other.
"You ......" Duanqing looked at her sister, and in addition to shock or shock, she couldn't even speak. Xu Liang also looked at this long-familiar girl again.
"Actually, it's nothing." Duan Han still had a cold little face and explained, "Whether it's Lao Xu or your sister, the two of you treat people as human beings." I'm different from both of you, and those people aren't human in my eyes, that's why I think so. And, there's a good chance I'm right to think so...... How can complex people, competitive and aggressive people, form a society for a long time and stably? Only by turning these people into individuals who only know how to work, who only know how to fight enemies, who only know how to mate, and who only know how to have children, can we do it. Moreover, just a few parts are enough for a population to expand......"
"The most important thing is to survive, and I don't really care if I'm still a 'human'." Duan Han said, "Anyway, it doesn't make a difference." β
When Duanqing heard this, he stood up suddenly!
"Sister, it's because of this question that I'm ...... with you Science! Always at the service of humanity! You've gone too far on this path, you've strayed ......"
Duan Han: "No, it's not. There is no peculiarity in the universe for man. And I still suspect one thing - this so-called civilization arena, in fact, it doesn't matter what the villa in it is and what it has. On the contrary, it is the problem in front of you, that is, the super social simulation system, that is the real value! It will enable us to avoid detours or even wrong paths in the future society! That kind of wrong way to play yourself to death! β
After hearing this, Duan Qing shook her head fiercely. She was very emotional, and her face was already a little sickly rosy.
"You two!" Xu Liang separated the two sisters and said, "The battle of ideas will slow down first!" β
Xu Liang knew that the two of them had an almost irreconcilable contradiction before, and it was because of that contradiction that he led Duan Han out of the house. Then he drifted around with Duan Han for ten years, but Xu Liang knew that this would not be the time to talk about what was before.
Xu Liang: "Look at the question, look at the question, look at the question!" β
Lao Xu pulled one with his left hand and one with his right hand, standing between the two sisters. took advantage of the stout body, and blocked the sight of the two of them very easily.
In fact, in the hearts of the three people, there is a similar feeling at this time.
I don't dare to look at that board.
Because I don't know how difficult it will be for this light curtain beauty to come up with a question. Only Xu Liang is slightly more optimistic. Xu Liang thought that since the question was a super problem that was completely irregular, or even suggestive, what about the things in the villa? How will it work?
Can it help humanity survive a super-crisis?
After all, the more difficult it is, the greater the benefits are likely to be.
If there was nothing in it, the builders of this civilization arena would not have come up with such an obviously extremely difficult question and an extremely difficult way to answer.
Especially in this almost desperate situation.
Until now, Xu Liang believes that the three of them should almost be the only hope for mankind, or the most promising point for revival. Especially when it comes to seeing "the overall number is less than a million". His mood was not nervous, but a little excited.
Three people are less than 1 million.
But 990,000 people are also less than 1 million.
This tip, which is much less than 1 million, is very likely to have a chance.
Humanity, there is also a good chance to have it.
Therefore, what he saw in front of this question was hope.
"Second question:"
Depending on the social system you just designed, choose one of the following two options:"
"A: Give you 1 of these social systems that will survive for 10,000 years."
"B: Give you the probability that any of 10 of these social systems will survive to 1 million years."
"A or B, which has the highest probability?"
"Unlike the previous question, this time you only have one choice."
The three looked at each other again.
This question is interesting. This can be said to be a true/false question. Choose one of the two. Even if you choose it with your eyes closed, you have half the chance of choosing the right one. Compared to the first question, which is completely open-ended but difficult to start, this one seems to be much simpler.
"What do you think, two top students?" Xu Liang suddenly felt that once in a while, he didn't rely on himself to fight to the death, but to solve the problem with his brain, and he could watch from the sidelines, which was quite good. There is a specialization in the art industry, and whoever is in the field will be on it.
He asked, taking instant noodles from his backpack and getting them for the two girls.
For a time, it was full of fragrance.
There is a specialization in the art industry.
Duan Han took a bite of noodles: "Obviously, this is a probability problem, and it is a very simple probability problem." There is a very common misunderstanding, that is, people tend to complicate simple problems, think about this and that, think a lot, and finally come to wrong conclusions. β
"In fact, if you read a question like this, you can solve it. Don't think about it at all. β
"In this case, there is no doubt that the probability of a is much higher."
"1 to 10,000 years, 10 to 1,000,000 years, simple proportional problems."
"Don't think about it, choose A. Now that you've done this question, let's move on to the next one. β
Duan Han's tone was very certain.
Xu Liang pondered for a moment, it looked ...... Indeed, a is more reasonable. In fact, he didn't understand it at all - although Xu Liang's intuition can often be correct, but when he does the exam, he is a mess, or he will not be a scumbag for ten thousand years.
Then choose A?
He glanced at Duan Qing. found that Duan Qing shook his head.
"No, pick B."
"Sister, you forgot to calculate a simpler thing - life, the greatest meaning, is to create miracles."
"Ten different beings, communicating with each other, the absolute output value is far greater than 10!"
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
"That's life."
After Duan Qing finished speaking, she looked at her sister seriously.
Duan Han shook his head: "No, life is just data. I insisted on A. β
Xu Liang looked at this, looked at that, embarrassed. The contradiction between Duanqing and Duanhan is by no means as simple as it seems, and it contains a fundamental battle of ideas. The point is that this kind of thing that is obviously metaphysical now embodies a simple judgment question.
Originally, it should be up to Xu Liang, a third party, to decide which one to choose.
But the key is that Xu Liang really doesn't understand the test point of this question at all!
Duan Qing: "No, Xu Liang, you don't understand, it's a matter of life......"
Duan Han: "No, Lao Xu, you don't understand, it's a problem with data......"
Xu Liang put his hands in the column and blocked the mouths of the two girls: "Okay, I understand." β
"I'll pick one at random, don't blame me for the wrong choice. In this case, my intuition is completely unpleasant, and it is all up to luck. β
Duan Han thought about it and said indifferently: "Okay." β
Duanhan's temper Xu Liang knows, she basically doesn't take her life seriously. He looked at Duan Qing. Duan Qing's face was much more hesitant, she nodded and thought about it, and her already weak face became even more ugly. But when she raised her head again, her gaze was firm: "Xu Liang, you have to believe me." I stand by my belief that there are miracles in life. β
"You can stand here, I can stand here, humanity can survive the tsunami, you can get the key...... These are miracles. She said in the most serious tone, you must choose B.
Xu Liang looked at her and said in his heart: I knew that the final problem still had to be given to me!
Xu Liang: "Can I toss a coin?" β
Duan Han didn't care about the two of them anymore: "Whatever." β
Duan Qing: "No! β
Xu Liang: "OKOK, my sister has abstained." I'll listen to you! β
Duan Qing's eyes were full of hope: "Hmm! β
Xu Liang stretched out his hand, and his hand was about to touch the B option, and suddenly retracted again:
"Did I really choose?"
Duan Han: "Hmm!! β
Lao Xu scratched his hair: "Really? β
Duan Han glanced at him, stepped forward and chose B, looked back at Lao Xu, and his face was full of contempt: "Ink!" Despise you! β
Xu Liang was speechless, then looked up, and then stunned.
On the big screen, the third question appeared.
He hadn't had time to read the question yet, but he knew that they had passed the second question.
β¦β¦
Duan Qing and Duan Han were seriously looking at the third question, and the expressions of the two sisters ...... It's all a little quirky. The two of them were even looking at each other, and there was incredulity in their eyes.
Xu Liang didn't look at the question.
He was looking at people, at the beauty of the light.
This light curtain beauty, from the moment she appeared just now, has not made any sound, nor has she made any movements. That hazy beauty is intoxicating, and one admires her like a sculpture. All in all, this is a beauty, but it is very much like the beauty in the painting, not human at all.
Xu Liang has a lot of eyes.
Although he has maintained a high degree of attention to the big screen next to the light curtain beauty, and has been participating in the quiz activities of the two girls, he has been observing the light screen beauty with his spare eyes.
The Qinghan sisters are all scientists and rigorous, which is different from his kind of whimsical thinking. He didn't think much about it. Xu Liang had a hazy thought: this light curtain beauty...... Seems superfluous?
She didn't open the door. Didn't speak. Didn't do anything. No valid information was conveyed.
She just stood there, blocking the way of the three of them.
At first glance, it may seem like nothing, but it's this nothingness that makes people feel like something.
For example, NPCs who say strange things in the game will not be useless, they must be the location of some hidden quest or good thing; The leaders in the company, even if they are useless and incompetent, must have something better than your employees (such as a relative of a director?). οΌβ¦β¦
In his place, there must be a reason.
The more you can't see it, the more it means that it may be important. For example, important exercises in the game, such as offending a certain leader who looks stupid......
So what about the beauty of this light curtain in front of you?
And there is another interesting point - she is a beauty.
Xu Liang felt that this light was a beautiful woman. The thing itself is very interesting.
Because he has seen too many "non-humans".
In the post-tsunami world, things that are not human are common.
Whether it's rabbits, pigs, ants, dragonflies, black weird bacterial goo, etc. They had seen too many strange things, and the only thing they hadn't seen much was people.
The "civilization arena" in front of us is obviously not something that human beings can create!
Her big screen itself also gives a hint: human beings are just one of the countless thousands of species in the universe, so why, this guy standing next to the big screen and looking like a docent, is a beautiful woman?
And she is also a super beauty that is quite in line with human aesthetics?
Xu Liang has been thinking about this problem in his mind. And he also found that this light curtain beauty is not completely static.
The first time you answer the question, when you choose the conclusion of Duanhan......
The second time I answered the question, I chose Duanqing's conclusion......
The light curtain beauty all laughed.
It's the kind of extremely tiny, mouth-pulling movement. If it weren't for Xu Liang's professional familiarity with the mysterious tininess of the Mona Lisa, even he wouldn't have recognized this small smile. But Xu Liang is sure that there must be changes in this light curtain beauty!
He even doubted that this beauty ...... It's really human, it's a real person!
If this speculation is true, then if you want to go down this road, it is also a person who issues the key?
Be a race of civilized arenas...... Also people?
No, no, that's too far ahead. Not good, can't think so far ahead.
Xu Liang instantly thought about a lot of questions, but he didn't tell Sister Qinghan. It's not a good thing that uncertain questions like this will temporarily increase the variables and speed up their already highly burning brains.
Sometimes I think about it, although the two girls are not good at physical strength, and they often use them as oil bottles, so that they can fly around and worry about them, but in fact, in such a post-apocalyptic world, there are two cool-headed scientists by their side, and they can solve all kinds of problems, isn't it an excellent luck?
And it's a perfect score of beauty.
"Xu Liang, look at the third question, how do you answer it?" Duan Qing's voice pulled Xu Liang back from his distraction. He remembered the expressions on the faces of the two girls when they saw the third question just now.
So Xu Liang also went to look at the third question.
And then he himself was stunned.
"Question 3:"
"Answer me: What are you doing here?"
Nope.
That's it.
No wonder the sisters fainted. This question...... It's not a problem at all, is it? It's like "Have you eaten?" "Did you play cards on the weekend?" "Son is making trouble again?" "If you don't bring it, you don't write it!" "Did you come in?" This kind of problem is the same...... This question is said with a strong breath of life.
These three questions, the first one, has a huge amount of calculation, an unbelievable answer mode, and an unexpected pass. The second question, a two-way multiple-choice question, is a 50 percent decision between life and death. It's all tense and exciting, but what is the third question? Why are you here?
Tourism?
Holiday?
Bringing a girl to pick up a girl?
This question is really nonsense, of course Lao Tzu is here to do it......
Xu Liang just wanted to say something, but he was stunned again.
yes, what am I doing here?
Xu Liang came all the way, got on the plane, got off the plane, got on the boat, got off the boat, got on the boat, got off the ship, got off the ship...... Every step is clear and clear, and it seems that he walked here without hesitation, but he was asked to directly say what he was doing. He suddenly couldn't say it for a while!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...... He looked at the line of simple questions, homely questions. Suddenly I felt that the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of buildings!
The heart is like a stormy wave!
That's right! What am I here for?
At the beginning, I was ...... Originally, I just wanted to flirt with beautiful women at the beach and steal something by the way. Suddenly, there was a tsunami, and I happened to steal this thing called the "Key to the Arena of Civilization", and it went down until now......
What did I do?
Xu Liang asked himself these questions repeatedly in his heart...... I'm just being forced by the urgency of the situation to keep moving forward. That's all, and nothing really went ahead!
He's just being pushed.
As for what you really want deep down...... Thinking of this, Xu Liang looked at Duan Han beside him. What about Duanhan's heart? This girl has always had a cold little face since she picked it up, and rarely laughs, not only does she not care about him, but she doesn't even care much about herself. Xu Liang remembered the look in her eyes when she picked her up, the desperate escape she experienced ten years ago, and the things that had not been clearly explained to her sister, and her mind moved slightly unconsciously.
If it weren't for that, how could Duan Han become such a scientist who didn't even cherish himself and only had formulas and data in his heart?
After that, they traveled around the world so many times, up and down the mountains and down to the sea, traveling and stealing, not just to make her ......
Thinking of this, his left hand, which was holding Duan Han, tightened unconsciously.
Duan Han shook his shoulders, changed to a slightly more comfortable posture and leaned against Xu Liang, and looked up at her: "Ambiguous, old Xu." β
"Hmm."
"Answer the question quickly, what are you thinking?"
Xu Liang smiled: "I'm just thinking about how to answer this question." What about you, have you thought about it? β
Duan Han's little face was expressionless, and he looked at Xu Liang: "This question...... What am I doing here? Isn't it because you're running around with me? If you want me to answer the question, I'll answer this. β
She continued, "You look at the writing. I'm busy, don't look for me if you don't have professional questions. β
"Okay." Xu Liang said, "And looking at the empty position under this question, only one answer should be allowed." In other words, although the question is asked by you, you can only write one answer. So ......"
Xu Liang naturally leaned to the right and looked at Duan Qing: "What do you think?" β
Duan Qing simply sat down.
She just sat directly on the ground, without the image of a beautiful woman at all, rubbing her temples with her head down. It's obviously a very earthy action, but it has a very special sense of beauty.
"Actually, I know what you think." Duan Qing hesitated again and again, but still spoke up.
"I decided to get it straight. Because of the current situation, we must be completely open and honest in order to overcome this difficulty and truly enter the arena of civilization! β
"You two." She continued, "You don't care about the future of humanity, do you? β
This sentence actually carries some weight.
And it's the kind of negative weight that is relatively large.
Duan Qing said this, as if he had finally untied the most difficult knot, and the words that followed were much smoother: "I know my own sister best." It became the way it is now, and the ...... before All in all, I get it. But I, no! β
Her tone became agitated: "All my goals are to save more people!" β
"With the strength of our family, we were fully capable of building a small shelter to escape back then. Because a family like ours not only has enough financial and human resources, but the key is to have enough R&D capabilities! There is no difficulty in surviving the family and the end times! However, when I got the news that this 'Civilization Arena' really existed, I chose to build the big ship system. β
"It's hard to build a large shelter for 100,000 people compared to a small and smart shelter! The cost is high, and there is a high probability of failure. β
"But I chose to do it anyway."
"Because I know that in the arena of civilization, there are enough ways for many, many people to survive. I wanted to take a gamble on this risk, and I always thought that if I could survive. But all the other compatriots are dead, and that is the greatest sorrow of mankind. β
"I don't want that."
Duanqing's tone was sincere, and he said a lot of things that happened before: "The concept I have always adhered to is that sentence, no matter how strong science and technology is, it must be people-oriented after all." β
"My ultimate goal will always be, people."
"I'm scared of being alone."
Duan Qing said a lot, and she was able to maintain a serious and calm tone at first, but then she became excited. At this point, she turned her head away. Although he still relied on Xu Liang's body, he deliberately didn't look at him, nor did he look at his sister on the left. That way they wouldn't be able to see her expression.
This subtle movement and that somewhat delicate idea fell in Xu Liang's eyes, which made him have some special, special feelings for this strongest human designer.
Duanqing is a big beauty, it is not clear how old she is, it is estimated that she is about two or three years older than Xu Liang. Women, both physically and psychologically, mature early, and although there are women who like to be born forever at the age of 18 (8), women tend to understand things much earlier than men. Duanqing, as the most outstanding type of woman, is even more so. However, at this time, Xu Liang suddenly felt that she was quite like her before.
In fact, they are all afraid of a person.
A person can be very free, a person can be very casual, without scruples, not afraid of morality or even law, heaven and earth. The more power you have, the more freedom you have.
But after all, it's still a person.
No matter how mentally sound you are and how you can look at problems rationally, there will always be times when you feel lonely. Especially when you think that there is no other kind of thing in the world.
Xu Liang always thought that he had completely overcome this, but as long as he was still a human, he would never be able to. Intellectual overcoming and emotional impulsiveness are actually two different things, just like the end of the day at this time.
She continued, her voice calming down, "This third question. I think I'm afraid we'll have to fill in the most truthful answers. And this question must be directed to the heart. β
"If you think about it now, these three questions seem boring and strange. But in fact, they all have a meaning in it? Maybe every question is a help, or a qualification, or a test? Warn? β
"The first question, perhaps, is to tell us what is the most likely form of society in the future? Only a highly defined division of labor, rather than a democratic and peaceful one, as is the case now, can it survive? β
The second question, which may tell us, is actually the miracle of life, the fragility of probability? Tell us to preserve our strength as much as possible in order to survive in the cruel universe? β
"So...... Are these three questions to teach us, how to develop civilization in the long run? β
Duan Qing followed her train of thought slowly, she thought seriously as she spoke, and she didn't notice the expression on the corner of the girl's mouth holding the light curtain on the big screen.
And the third question is a logical question, perhaps, asking ...... That's right! That's right! It's actually our goal! β
Her eyes lit up as she said this. It's as if the exhaustion and the bloodshot in the eyes have been swept away!
"Yes, it's really asking us: Who are we? Can we represent human civilization? Will we be able to accomplish that ultimate task? β
"So this third question: What are you going to do? It seems completely open, but the real answer ...... There is only one! β
"Xu Liang ......" Duanqing slowly turned his head and looked at him, "I know that the two of you think differently from ordinary people, my sister I know, and you ...... At the end of the day, you're just a thief, what do you think...... Anyway, let me answer this third question! β
Duan Qing looked at Xu Liang with a pleading gaze, her expression extremely firm.
Xu Liang smiled.
"Don't look at me like that." He said to Duan Qing with a relaxed expression, "Well, I'll fill in the answer." I'll just fill in four words, okay? β
"I'm going to fill in four words...... Duan Qing said almost at the same time, and then she suddenly reacted, "No." I'm going to answer you! Don't go! β
Duanqing was anxious and went up to pull Xu Liang's sleeve. But Xu Liang, who was fast-handed, did not hesitate at all, and had already written the answer.
Duanqing rushed up in two steps, desperate, looking at the light curtain and the completely static light curtain woman on the side of the light curtain.
However, at this time, Xu Liang had already filled in the answers.
Upheaval is steep!
A super screen as big as a concert poster shattered the moment Xu Liang's answer was written.
The points of light were scattered, floating away like tens of thousands of fireflies. In the space, above the villa, there are many small points of light.
The exquisite villa, or rather, the main body of the arena of civilization, is exceptionally beautiful.
In the center of the villa, a beautiful gate gradually opens.
It was as if welcoming the return of the owner.
The beauty of the light curtain in front of her flashed to the side at this time. It was her first move since her formation. She bent down, stretched out her hand, and made the most solemn welcome salute, was she greeting her host home?
The gate of the villa is completely open and there is a curvy path paved with gravel underfoot. The path is not long, and at the end is a beautiful two-story building. A few people suddenly had a hint of delusion, as if they had returned to the human world, as if there would be a newsboy at the door, a beautiful carriage, and a hostess waiting for the master to return home.
Duanqing looked around, and finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Liang: "The final answer, what did you write?" β
"That's those four words." Xu Liang said casually, he squeezed Duanhan's little hand, as if thinking of some beautiful past, "Revive mankind." β
"How?" He added, "Just what you think, right?" β
Then he looked at Duanqing's surprised eyes and really laughed.
Xu Liang was really happy, because he really figured it out, and he didn't even notice that the curvature of the corner of the light curtain beauty's mouth was much bigger than just now.
"Don't be stunned." Xu Liang said to Duan Qing, "After ten years of holding back, I finally came in, what do you think now?" β
Xu Liang (Duanqing) looked at the hut: "I want to know now, what is in this villa?" β
