"You think it's just my decision to travel to the galaxy? Or was I able to leave the Southern Alpha system without support? ”

Yang Yi smiled reluctantly, waiting for Yang Guang to continue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"At that time, not only me, but we all realized that relying on these carbon-based intelligent beings created in the Southern Alpha System could not turn defeat into victory. The point is, conservatives won't give us much time, and we obviously won't be able to triumph before intelligent beings develop. The reality before us is cruel, and no matter how hard we try, we will still end up suffering a fiasco. Of course, we don't recognize and accept reality, otherwise we wouldn't be radicals. If we can't rely on the carbon-based intelligent beings we have created to win, then our only option is to find more powerful life, that is, more effective tools. ”

"So, how do you know there's a creature in the galaxy you're looking for?"

"We didn't know, at least not at the time, but we had no choice, so we had to take risks, even if there was little hope of success."

Yang Yi sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.

"Of course, it's our collective decision, and since there's not much certainty, we can only let one of us go to the galaxy."

"That's you."

"Yes, I was chosen, even if that wasn't what I was for. Although I was the first to ask questions and the first to realize that carbon-based life in the Southern Alpha System was of little value, I never thought about leaving the Southern Alpha System, let alone going to the distant Milky Way. Of course, this also has to do with our previous attempt that we did not have a smooth grasp of reaching other star systems. It's just that I'm even more reluctant to leave my many companions, because we share the same ideals, and leaving is tantamount to betrayal, even if it's a critical mission. Actually, none of us wanted to leave, so it was ultimately up to the collective vote to decide who to send to the galaxy. ”

"Obviously, you are lucky and unlucky."

"The element of misfortune, so to speak, is greater." Yang Guang smiled reluctantly and said, "You know, just the journey to the galaxy is extremely long. You already know who I really am, and you know for sure that beings like us will lose their vitality when they leave the star system. Even if I didn't have to worry about my life with the advanced equipment on that ship, for beings like us, losing my vitality is no different from dying, and when I wake up, I'll have to face a completely unfamiliar world. To put it simply, in your human sense, it is like a journey from earth to hell. ”

"Of course, you did make it to the galaxy."

"I just got to the galaxy, and it didn't go well."

"Really?"

Yang Guang took a long breath before he said: "First of all, it is not me who has arrived in the galaxy, but a carrier, a living body that carries my individual consciousness. ”

"What!?" Yang Yi was taken aback and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief.

"I have already said that it is impossible for an existence like us to leave the star system from which we were born. As soon as we leave the star system in which we were born, all the elements that make us up disappear immediately and completely after entering the gravitational field of other star systems. For us, it's death. The point is that we are attached to space, and we are one with the star system we were born into. If the Alpha Galaxy is compared to a living being, then we puppets are the consciousness in this living being, of course, many consciousnesses. Because of this limitation, no matter how powerful we are, we can't leave the Alpha system, at least not directly to other star systems. The only way to solve this problem is to find another carrier. However, it also means giving up a lot of things, such as that kind of unparalleled power. ”

"Are you saying that when you arrive in the galaxy, you are just an ordinary living being, or that you have just an ordinary body?"

"That's right, that's what it means."

"The problem is ......"

"The problem is, I went to the Milky Way millions of years ago, and I was near the Solar System, which at that time had not yet given birth to intelligent beings. In fact, at that time, there was no other intelligent life in the galaxy, at least not as intelligent as we require. Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "That's right, I wasn't woken up by the spaceship's control system, and I was still asleep." Of course, this is actually a pre-set that I have made, that is, the ship's control system will only wake me up after discovering sufficiently developed intelligent life. The main thing is that the life forms that carry my consciousness are extremely fragile and have an extremely short lifespan, and if I wake up too soon, I will most likely die before I can find intelligent life, and I obviously shouldn't risk it. ”

"And then?"

"Obviously, all I can do is wait until intelligent life appears in the solar system, or until the ship's control system starts functioning according to a pre-programmed program."

"What program?"

"Create intelligent life."

"What!?"

"To put it simply, humanity was not created by me, but by that spaceship. Of course, to be precise, it was the ship that gave the most promising creature at that time the most basic intelligence on the only planet suitable for the existence of living beings in the solar system, according to the degree I had set in advance. It's just that there is nothing wrong with saying that I created the human race, or that the human race was created, after all, it was the level I set in advance, and the spaceship was just executing the program. Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "The most important thing is that I learned the lesson of being in the Southern Alpha System, or that after leaving the Southern Alpha System, I had enough time to think about what we had done before, and to find the mistakes we made, and finally find the right way forward." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, when I left the Southern Alpha System, I was still awake. Even in my sleeping state, my consciousness exists, but it operates much less efficiently than the situational state. Thankfully, the time spent on a long voyage made up for the efficiency issues, allowing me to think through a lot of problems and giving me plenty of time to find solutions to them. ”

"What's the problem?"

"It's simple." Yang Guang smiled faintly before he said, "Why can't those carbon-based intelligent life forms that we created in the Southern Alpha System be a tool to defeat the conservatives? ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Yang Guang incomprehensibly.

"Actually, this question, before I left the Southern Alpha System, I thought it through, at least knowing where we made the mistake. Otherwise, the rest of the radicals wouldn't have listened to my advice, let alone let me fly to the galaxy. You know, the value of this spacecraft is not just the ability to sail across star systems. It's in the creator's legacy, that is, the treasure that can't be measured in value. ”

"And then?"

"It's just that what I thought of at the time was actually just my speculation, which I couldn't prove, and no one was willing to prove it."

"What speculation?"

"The impact, or limit, we have on the intelligent beings we create."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed.

"Of course, it wasn't until I came to the Milky Way, or more precisely, after the birth of your human race, that I realized that I had found the right direction from the start." Yang Guang smiled faintly before he said, "It's very simple, there are no puppets in the galaxy, so in the past billions of years, there have been no real intelligent beings in the galaxy, let alone intelligent civilizations. Although theoretically speaking, if I had not come to the Milky Way, then even in a few billion years, intelligent beings might not have been born, but with the emergence of human beings, especially after human beings have evolved into intelligent civilizations through self-evolution, I have found that our influence and limitations on intelligent beings are too great. Even if we could create intelligent beings, none of them would be able to truly develop under our limitations. That is, in addition to creation, our influence on intelligent beings is more about limitations than in helping intelligent beings evolve to a higher level. So, when there are no limits from us, will intelligent beings evolve to a higher level? ”

"There are no golems in the galaxy?"

"There must have been, but it was already dead by the time I arrived. As for how it died, I don't know, at least I don't really care. Of course, it must have something to do with the galaxy itself, after all, the galaxy is so small. In addition, the puppets of the galaxy are definitely divided, and perhaps a civil war has also broken out. Although it did not lead to the destruction of the Milky Way, after all, on the scale of the Milky Way, it is impossible to split into two star systems after the central black hole is finished, and it will only perish directly, but this war that leads to the destruction of all the puppets is equivalent to making room for all living things, including humans, so that the creatures in the galaxy can evolve themselves without being affected. Obviously, this is a very special case that does not exist in other star systems. ”

"You're saying that in the course of human evolution, you didn't interfere?"

"That's right, the spaceship just created humans according to a pre-set program, that is, by changing genes to make apes evolve into intelligent creatures, that is, you humans. Of course, I've set up several modification plans for insurance, so you humans have multiple races. However, the end result is the same, that is, different races have all evolved intelligence, there is no essential difference, and the effect of small genetic differences has been diluted with the long process of evolution. In fact, I had never had direct contact with humans until your grandfather and grandmother came to the outer reaches of the solar system and entered the ship I was in. ”
