Chapter 1237 existential significance

"Me?"

"That's right, it's you. In this universe, any life has a value and purpose for existence, that is, it has the meaning www.biquge.info of its existence. ”

Yang Yi looked at Yang Guang dumbfounded, feeling like he had fallen into a huge whirlpool.

"Although I don't know how or for what kind of existence exist in the six-dimensional universe, it is clear that the intelligent beings in the three-dimensional universe have a very clear purpose, and this purpose is often directly or indirectly related to the things around them. To put it simply, the intelligent beings in the three-dimensional universe are not real individuals, but social bodies, and the existence of social forms, that is, civilizations. In this collective, any individual is more or less in relation to other individuals, and this relationship is the key to the continuation of civilization itself. In a sense, this is the biggest and most fundamental difference between you and us. ”

"This is important?"

Yang Guang nodded and said, "This is not only important, but also extremely critical. You know, we are individual individuals, and even if we share a common ideal, we are willing to cooperate for the sake of a common ideal, but fundamentally, we puppets have a loose relationship. That is, we are still inherently individual, and we are not seriously affected by the death of other individuals. In fact, even if I'm the only one left, I can still survive well, not that I can't live without other puppets. While a high degree of independence allows us to easily cope with an almost infinite lifespan and minimize the impact of time, it also deprives us of continuity, that is, the internal motivation to protect what is most precious and keep it alive. ”

Yang Yi frowned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Actually, this is not only the case for human beings, but it is common to all intelligent beings born in the three-dimensional universe. Because there is no eternal life, whether it is human beings or other creatures, they can only continue their existence through reproduction, and in the long process of evolution, only those creatures who know how to protect their offspring and pass on the knowledge they have to future generations can evolve true wisdom, and only such creatures can develop and grow. In the same way, in the long process of evolution, the result of this natural elimination makes those creatures that have evolved intelligence highly social, that is, they have close internal relationships, and these internal relations will eventually evolve into civilizations. ”

"This is important?"

"It's absolutely important, because that's the foundation for continuing wisdom."

"Why?"

Yang Guang smiled faintly and said: "Although we come from the six-dimensional universe, we are not intelligent beings in the six-dimensional universe, at most we can only be regarded as a natural continuation in the three-dimensional universe, that is, we are just a carrier created by the intelligent bodies in the six-dimensional universe to continue wisdom. If this process is to continue, then we are definitely not the right people, and you are, because you are born with an inner drive to pass on wisdom, and we do not. If it is necessary to pass on wisdom through self-sacrifice, then only you can do it, and we obviously cannot do it. Obviously, having eternal life makes us gods in the three-dimensional universe, but it also makes us lose one of the most fundamental and important characteristics. ”

"Because you don't care about anything, you can't sacrifice yourselves for the sake of other beings."

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

Yang Yi sighed, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Of course, for intelligent life in the three-dimensional universe, getting to this point is an extremely long process and takes a lot of time."

"What do you mean?"

"Without my presence, or without my guidance, it would have been impossible for humanity to evolve true intelligence in just a few hundred thousand years, nor would it have been possible to conquer the entire galaxy in just a few hundred years, let alone destroy the galaxy in just a few thousand years. According to the intelligent life we created in the Alpha Galaxy, it will take tens of millions of years to evolve true intelligence, and the second step, that is, to gain the ability to travel across star systems through mastery of primal energy, will take almost a million years, and then it will take tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of years to master the technology that can lead to the destruction of the star system, so as to gain the opportunity to make a leap, that is, by destroying the black hole in the center of the star system and discovering the energy modules hidden inside. Of course, nothing like this has ever happened in the Alpha system. It's just that, to be sure, without my presence, humans would still be apes living in the jungle. ”

"You ......"

"Of course, my appearance shortened the time for human evolution. What's more, after I left, humanity has skyrocketed unfettered, allowing us to see the amazing results of the natural evolution of intelligent beings. It is precisely because of this that I have reason to believe that the value of our existence is actually only to create you, and this universe belongs to you, and whatever the future looks like, it also belongs to you. ”

Yang Yi was silent, although he didn't have a good impression of Yang Guang, but he didn't deny this point of view.

"Actually, the key is in you, and your performance has completely exceeded my expectations, and even better than I expected."

"What?"

"You think you were able to come to the Southern Alpha System and be reformed just because of luck?"

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

"It is undeniable that after learning more about human beings, especially after integrating into human society, I developed feelings for human beings, and even regarded myself as human beings for a while. In other words, before leaving, I always thought of you as the result of my natural continuation, that is, as my offspring. Although I still chose to leave, I left a lot of things before leaving, some of which I left for you. Yang Guang paused for a moment before he said, "Your ability to come to the Southern Alpha System is directly related to the technology I left behind to build light-speed spaceships. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to build that spaceship in your lifetime with human technology. ”

"So, I should thank you?"

"No, after all, we are father and son, at least we were." Yang Guang smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the spaceship that sent you to the Southern Alpha System is nothing, after all, with the technology I left behind, especially those related to energy modules, humanity will soon be able to make a breakthrough." The real key is actually another ship, the 'Hope' you encountered on Lava Star. ”

"You mean ......"

"I built this ship myself, and I also built the equipment on it. What's more, only you can get into this ship and be modified, because only your genes can activate the modding equipment on this ship and become what I want it to be. ”

Yang Yi was stunned and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief.

"Of course, I could have waited until you were an adult and reformed you with my own hands, but I didn't do it, not for anything else, just because I was scared."

"Scared?"

Yang Guang nodded and said, "It's very simple, I don't know what kind of existence you will be after completing the transformation." ”

"You ......"

"Or rather, I'm not sure you're in control of you after you've completed the transformation." Yang Guang sighed before he said, "Compared with us puppets, what you humans lack most is not wisdom, but strength. Of course, it's not just you, humans, but all intelligent beings. Of course, this is not an irreparable gap. The point is that the root cause of this problem is simply that your lifespan is extremely short, so that no individual can be strong enough in a limited life. The solution is very simple, that is, to give you the same lifespan as we do, at least the same as ours, so that you can become stronger, even comparable to us. ”

"You mean, the makeover ...... for me"

"That's right, the biggest effect of your transformation is to give you an almost infinite lifespan, so that you can use time to make up for the gap with us. Maybe in the beginning, your strength is far inferior to ours, but as long as you have time, you will definitely surpass us. Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "It's just that this is just what I envisioned when I designed this renovation plan, and I ignored an extremely critical issue." ”

"What?"

"That's it, you humans are too good at learning and adapting, and you can always do things that I didn't expect. Although this is also the inevitable result of evolution, after all, only the strongest vitality can survive the natural obsolescence, so the one who survives must be the most powerful individual, but this ability gives you an extremely powerful ability, and it is something that we do not have. ”

"What ability?"

"Explosive growth and progress."

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

Of course, this phenomenon is more manifested in groups, that is, in the development of human civilization. To put it simply, it took you thousands of years to accumulate the necessary knowledge before you mastered technology, and after that, it took only a few hundred years to make the leap from industrial civilization to aerospace civilization. To put it simply, the pace of your development is not linear, but explosive, and the rate of progress is getting faster and faster. What I didn't expect is that this phenomenon is also present in individuals, and nowhere is it more evident than in you. Yang Guang paused for a moment before he said, "It only took you a few years to fully adapt to the result of the transformation, that is, this new body, and to maximize its value." In fact, I chose to leave because I was worried about such an outcome. To put it simply, as long as you are given the right conditions, it will not be long before you can surpass me and become a more powerful being than me, maybe decades, or at most hundreds of years. At this time, will you still treat me as a father, or will you tolerate my existence? ”

Yang Yi was silent because he couldn't answer the question.
