Joel drew a circle in a dark place with a laser pointer and said, "Do humans really think that life is the only place in the entire universe?" ”

Shen Huai shook his head, "The universe is so big, human beings are too small, how can we be sure that there are other lives in the universe, aren't you an example." ”

Shen Huai said: "Life on earth is just a form. ”

Joel had already seen through Shen Huai's thinking and said, "Actually, what you want to say is that as long as you have the ability to think and understand, it is life, right?" ”

Shen Huai smiled.

Joel nodded and said: "From the perspective of the whole earth, the only species that really belong to life are human beings, and the rest of the animals, plants, and microorganisms belong to life in the definition of your human beings, but from our definition, they are only metabolizable energy substances with specific calculation programs, and cannot be counted as life." ”

Joel pointed to the circle he had drawn and said, "I'm from here, and I belong to a higher life form, a life form that humans will never understand. ”

He already knew the answer in his heart, but when Joel said this sentence himself, Shen Huai was still very surprised.

"How did they know about Earth, and how did they get here?"

Joel took two steps back, and under the illumination of the virtual imager, many particles leaped out of Joel's head, and these particles scurried around on top of Joel's head, but did not leave Joel.

Joel said: "The existence of advanced life forms is in the form of thinking energy clusters, to be precise, our minds have fully evolved to quantization, energy clusters have a core similar to the nucleus, and the quantized thinking particles move irregularly around the core of thinking like electrons surrounding the nucleus, and we don't need a body or anything else to carry such life." ”

Joel retracted his mind to his body, and said, "Not only us, but you, but also other life forms in the universe, in billions of years, life forms will evolve like this. ”

Shen Huai turned off the virtual projection equipment, the amount of information given by Joel was too large, and he needed to think carefully.

Regarding the definition of life, Shen Huai's concept is the same as Joel's, and only creatures with the ability to think can be called living beings. In Shen Huai's definition, although animals and plants cannot think, they are also part of life, but in Joel's view, animals and plants are just metabolic forms of the established program of the energy body, which are too low-level and do not belong to the living body.

Joel continued to introduce his origins, and did not reveal the mystery of life in the universe, he said: "Six billion years ago, we were the same as you, the difference is that we evolved based on silicon-based life, and the mind exists on top of silicon-based life, and the silicon-based body and tissue undergo oxidation reactions and provide energy for the thinking body. If we calculate the time of the earth, our life cycle is more than 1,000 years, and the region is only a few decades. The ultimate goal of life evolution is immortality, and six billion years later, we are free from the constraints of silicon-based life and have learned the way of cosmic survival. Our lives have also become singular, as you have just seen.

The thinking energy group no longer needs the body to undertake the oxidation reaction to provide energy, and only at this time will the thinking particles be quantized and form an energy group. As long as there is energy, we will become co-existing with the universe. ”

Shen Huai looked at Joel, as if he wanted to see the thought particles he had in his body in his eyes.

Shen Huai asked, "So what is the end form of life?" ”

Joel was silent before he said, "Immortality and numbness." ”

"In the last billions of years of evolution, we have discarded the cumbersome body, and in the case of immortality, we have discarded superfluous emotions and left only to think...... In the future, we will become numb, we will become desireless, billions of years from now, we will give up thinking, we will stop thinking after we stop thinking, we will also stop the need for energy, and finally we will all become particles wandering in the universe. Or maybe one day, these particles come to a certain planet with the genes of thinking, and under the right circumstances, they rebuild their bodies, start thinking, and start a new cycle.

I read from your human minds that you have begun to observe dark particles and dark energy in the universe. In fact, the so-called dark particles are the final form of the thinking energy group, and the dark energy you observe is the thinking power that the thinking energy group stimulates when it stops thinking. Thinking is also a kind of matter, and with matter comes energy, but you humans can't understand it now. ”

Shen Huai was not calm now, "According to what you say, the universe is full of life?" ”

"To be precise, the universe is full of life everywhere, and the number of lives born in the long years of the universe is incomprehensible to the existing cognitive view of human beings, and the life cycle of human beings is only a short moment in the universe. It's like you ask a cicada with only a few days of life to study the history of the entire earth, which is unscientific. ”

Shen Huai pinched his temples and said slowly: "So, human beings are too small now, so eternal life also means destruction?" ”

"It depends on how you define life and death, on the way I saw people chanting Buddhist scriptures, in fact, many human religions have revealed the essence of life."

"This dark place between the Milky Way and Andromeda is our former home, and like the Milky Way, there were countless year-like stars and planets," Joel said. ”

"And in the end?"

"In the words of the people of the earth, in the end, all the planets are eaten by us as energy matter. We need energy, and it takes a lot of energy to support a huge group of mental energy. ”

"If you don't have energy, you're going to die, right?"

"No, no, Mr. Shen, life only has reincarnation and no death, we will not lack energy, without energy, we will look for it."

"So, you came to Earth? Where does your food come from? ”

"I came to Earth out of curiosity, curiosity about what life was like in the first place, because where we live, all life has evolved to its final form, and what is waiting to become the last form of life, dark particles."

Shen Huai breathed a long sigh of relief, "There, do you think human beings will evolve?" ”

"In the past, though, because the ecosystems of the solar system were not stable." Joel added, "I'm targeting the entire galaxy cycle, not the millennia of your human lifecycle. For life to evolve to its current form, it will take at least six billion years for life on Earth to exist, and the solar system will no longer exist in six billion years. So life on Earth, like many life that has just been born, doesn't evolve, but your presence has changed all that, and you have raised the evolutionary history of life on Earth by an entire era. It's just that the material conditions of the earth are limited now, and you can't apply your ideas. As long as living beings continue to use oxidation reactions to provide energy one day, humanity will never overcome the time of your solar system. ”
