The next thing, Yang Yi already knows, even if it is not completely accurate, it is not far from ten. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because of this serious disagreement, these god-like beings broke out into a civil war, and it was the worst war in history. Although the conservatives won an initial victory by virtue of their numerical superiority, their mercy on the enemy cost them extremely dearly. In a sense, this is also an inevitable consequence, because conservatives defend not only the lives they have created, but also themselves, and even the enemies with whom they are closely related, so it is impossible to kill the defeated enemy. According to Orcas, if they do, they lose their nature and make victory meaningless. In fact, this also doomed the conservatives to win the final victory of this war, and there was a final result.

"Actually, even at the end of the day, we still have a chance. However, we always believe that even if there are irreconcilable differences in opinions, we are brothers with the same roots. Regardless of the end result, we should not kill each other. Orcas sighed before he said, "It's just that this brutal war has also taught us more, and more important questions, such as what the universe we live in, and our existence, and how much the life we created has affected the universe." If there's one thing we've learned from this, it's the main one. ”

"Harvest?"

"Why do you think the Silicon Beasts will dominate the Northern Alpha System after our civil war is over?"

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask much, waiting for Orcas to continue.

"Actually, before the outbreak of the civil war, we already recognized the seriousness of the problem. To put it simply, our activities have had an impact on the universe or for the worse. Orcas let out a long breath before he said, "It's not about us, it's about the creatures we create." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Billions of years can make many problems that are too small to be perceived become obvious enough. While the impact of any one organism under our control is extremely limited, the impact of a population of thousands, if not hundreds of millions, is not to be underestimated. What's more, even the lowest creatures influence and change their environment in order to survive and reproduce. After the vitality becomes stronger, or after mastering advanced technology, it will also seek and occupy a broader living space. To put it simply, even the lowest IQ silicon beast will become powerful enough after billions of years of evolution. ”

"And thus have a huge impact on the universe?"

Orcas nodded and said, "Of course, before the outbreak of the civil war, we have been controlling the evolution and development of those creatures that have been created, that is, trying to minimize their impact. Unfortunately, billions of years are enough time to make our efforts meaningless. In fact, this is one of the reasons for the civil war, because even if we have direct control, such a situation cannot last forever. It won't be long before these creatures created by us will evolve enough strength to rival us to change the three-dimensional universe and even destroy the very foundation of existence. It is clear that the only thing that can stop this from happening is war. ”

"You mean, before that, extremely powerful intelligent beings had appeared?"

"You can say that, but it's not entirely true."

"What do you mean?"

"Millions of years are just a snap of a finger for billions of years." Orcas paused for a moment, and then said, "In these billions of years, except for the first few hundred million years, we have focused mainly on transforming the environment, to be precise, creating the right environment, and the rest of the time has been all about creating life, all kinds of life. We had a lot of failures, but we all succeeded. Although a lot of time was wasted on this, in my case, I spent about three billion years trying to figure out before creating the first life with basic intelligence, and the life created in those three billion years was a failure. But for us, all this time wasted is nothing. In other words, our purpose is to create a life that is intelligent, or highly similar to us, in order to perpetuate our existence, or to prove our existence. ”

Yang Yi frowned, and his mood was very complicated.

Quite simply, Orcas is saying that these powerful beings have been playing the role of God all along, and they are enjoying it.

"In creating intelligent life, we discovered a previously overlooked, but extremely important, even devastating, problem. That is, all intelligent beings can evolve, and the speed of evolution increases with wisdom, that is, the speed of evolution will become faster and faster. The problem is that we can't evolve, at least not for the last billions of years. Of course, there is nothing surprising that we are all separate beings, and all of us have almost eternal life, and there is no need to reproduce, so it is impossible to evolve through reproduction. It turned out that we had to make trade-offs. ”

"You mean that these intelligent beings created by you will eventually surpass you?"

Orcas nodded slightly, and said, "It can be said that if we do not impose restrictions on these intelligent beings, they will inevitably surpass us. It may take millions, if not more, of years to evolve the intelligence necessary to match us and master advanced technology, but for billions of years, that is not a long time. In addition, during these billions of years, we have not been observing the intelligent life that has been created. Obviously, if we are the slightest negligent, these intelligent beings that we have created will become the most serious threat. In fact, such things have happened before, more than once. ”

"You mean ......"

"It's just that it's all taken care of. Quite simply, none of us will admit defeat, let alone the shame we will suffer publicly. For us, destroying a civilization is not difficult at all. If something like this happens, we will deal with it ourselves and will never publicize it publicly. Take me as an example, in the star systems I rule, there are at least five intelligent beings that have evolved to the advanced civilization stage, and none of them took more than a million years to evolve, and one civilization even took less than 100,000 years to make the leap. If I hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid that I would have been wiped out by the civilization I had created before the civil war broke out. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, the discovery of these civilizations is not by luck or coincidence, but by necessity."

"What necessarily?"

"Although we don't keep an eye on those creatures that have been created, at most only occasionally glance at them, any kind of creature will try to use it after it has evolved to a certain extent, especially after mastering the technology related to the original energy, and it will inevitably produce abnormal phenomena that can make us perceive, such as obvious original energy fluctuations and spatial fluctuations, which will attract our attention."

"Then, you will take action to destroy these civilizations."

"It's the only option, although it's not what we want."

Yang Yi smiled bitterly, with an indescribable feeling.

"Of course, I'm not the only one doing this." Orcas paused for a moment, then added, "It's just that if it weren't for the civil war that followed, something like this would have happened." In a sense, both the Silicon Man and the Silicon Beast that later evolved wisdom were all beneficiaries of the Civil War. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you think we lost that civil war, or why were we defeated, even if it was all together, by far fewer radicals than we were?"

"This ......"

"At that time, we had absolute superiority, not just in numbers, but in almost all star systems. Those radicals who came back knew that they were not our opponents, and that they could not defeat us on their own, at least on their own, so they came up with such a solution. ”

"Using intelligent life?"

Orcas nodded and said, "The first thing they did after they came back was to create a large number of intelligent life in some marginal star systems that we don't pay much attention to, and to provide support and protection, to be precise, to help these intelligent life beings evolve at a faster rate, and there were no anomalies that we could detect." By the time we discovered the danger, they had already taken the most critical step and achieved results. As a result, we are no longer confronted with a limited number of radicals, but with thousands, many more intelligent beings than we are, armed with them and not below us. ”

Yang Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.

"The result is obvious, even if our group is larger, but in the face of an army of intelligent beings who are tens of thousands of times larger than us, and whose individual strength is not much worse than ours, at least there is no decisive gap, even if we try our best, we still can't win in the end."

"So, you made the decision to die with the enemy?"

"This is the only way, and not just for the sake of defeating the enemy, and not just for ourselves, but for the sake of everything."

"Really?"

"If we hadn't done this, the North Alpha and Southern Alpha systems would have ceased to exist a long time ago, and there wouldn't be what they are now."

Yang Yi sighed, he understood what Orcas meant, but it was difficult to accept it for a while.

"Of course, that's all in the past." Orcas sighed as well. "Although, as far as I'm concerned, it would be the same if I were to make a decision again. Only now, you are here, even if I don't trust you, but you are the only hope for what we want to achieve at the expense of everything. ”

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. (To be continued.) )
