Chapter 1231: Self-destruction
"Why?"
Yang Guang looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly, obviously not understanding what Yang Yi meant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Before that, humans had been born millions of years ago, and Homo sapiens had appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, even in the history of written civilizations for thousands of years. Don't tell me you've been asleep all this time. In fact, you have already said that even in a deep sleep, your consciousness is working. Why, then, did you not appear to humans for thousands of years, and only after my grandfather and grandmother found your spaceship and came into contact with you did you intervene in the natural evolution of humanity? It's definitely not a coincidence, so don't tell me it's a coincidence. Of course, don't tell me you've been waiting for a new body. ”
"What if that's the case?"
This time, it was Yang Yi's turn to be puzzled.
"Of course, that's just one reason. You're right, I've been waiting for a new body. Although the use of the life system on the spaceship, as well as the long sleep, can greatly extend the life of that body, there is always a limit, and it is about to be reached. Don't forget, I've been waiting for millions of years. If I don't have a new body, I'll be doomed when I leave the ship. Although I was able to keep a part of my consciousness in the ship's control system, I ceased to be a real being after losing the carrier. In fact, I can only wait, if it is not your grandfather and grandmother, it will be someone else. ”
"You ......"
"Of course, I've also been secretly observing humans and intervening in their natural evolution. It's just that all I do is stop humanity from destroying itself. In fact, this is also the inevitable result of intelligent beings like human beings who have evolved through natural evolution to a certain extent. The point is that because they are not constrained, intelligent beings tend to go to extremes driven by survival and reproduction after mastering the technology that is enough to destroy the planet where they are located. In the Southern Alpha System, many intelligent civilizations have perished as a result, so what I do is to prevent humanity from destroying itself. Otherwise, I am afraid that before it flies out of the earth's atmosphere, humanity will have perished. ”
"So, thank you?"
"There's no need for that, because I'm only doing it for myself."
Yang Yi sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Actually, your grandfather and grandmother came at a bad time."
"What?"
"Yes, it is true that human beings have a history of hundreds of thousands of years, even if it is calculated according to the history of civilization that has been recorded in writing, it is thousands of years, but compared to the evolutionary history of any kind of creature, it is actually not very long. Of course, it was also very short for an existence like mine. In fact, if we look at the history of science and technology, the rate of human evolution is even more astonishing, and it only took a few hundred years to accomplish what any other civilization would have taken tens or even hundreds of thousands of years to achieve. So, at this rate, how much more time will it take for human beings to surpass the limits of natural life and reach the ideal level that meets our requirements? ”
"You ......"
"Of course, it could be hundreds of years, it could be thousands of years, but no matter how long it takes, it's not really a problem for me at all. You know, I've been waiting millions of years, so what's the point of waiting a few thousand more years? In fact, I'd rather wait a few thousand more years for humanity to make a leap through natural evolution. Because only in this way can I prove that my previous inference is not wrong. ”
"So, why are you still taking advantage of my grandmother?"
"Quite simply, I don't have any other choice."
"Really?"
"They discovered the spaceship and got the necessary information. While I could get rid of them and keep the ship's secrets, as more and more humans explore beyond the solar system, others will soon arrive, and it is clear that I can't get rid of all the humans who discover the ship. What's more, as humanity's understanding of the universe deepens, it won't be long before humanity looks for ways to fly to other star systems. At that time, even if I take action personally, I may not be able to stop humanity from going further and further down the path of self-destruction. Yang Guang paused slightly, and then said, "There is also the reason I started to mention, that is, the body I have is seriously aging, and I need a new body. If this opportunity is missed, there may never be a better opportunity. ”
"You ......"
"Actually, I didn't do anything to your grandmother, except to use her body to get a new body." Yang Guang smiled reluctantly and said, "It's just that, for me, this is still not a perfect body, and I can't get a perfect body in the galaxy." ”
"So, you left the galaxy after you had some abilities."
"That's one of the reasons, but it's not all of them, and it's not the main reason."
"Anything else?"
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Before that, I was just observing human beings, understanding human beings through various indirect means, and I had no direct contact with human beings. In other words, my knowledge of human beings before this was extremely superficial, and what I was familiar with was only human performance. It wasn't until I integrated into human society as a human and had direct contact with humans that I gained a deeper understanding of human beings. ”
"And then?"
"Of course, that's also real understanding." Yang Guang let out a long sigh and said, "Obviously, my speculation before this has been formalized. Without our influence, intelligent beings like humans, who were born in the three-dimensional universe, are able to evolve a high level of intelligence and thus master extremely advanced technology. In a sense, this is perfect, and the intelligent creature we have been looking for, the tools that can help us defeat conservatives. However, at the same time, I found a problem that I had not thought of before, and it was extremely important. In fact, before that, the various manifestations of human beings had already made this problem apparent, but because I didn't know enough about human beings, I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and I didn't take it seriously. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Will an intelligent civilization that has evolved without restraint and has a serious tendency to self-destruct become more serious after mastering extremely advanced technology, and will unfettered evolution and development eventually lead to complete destruction?"
"Total destruction?"
"Because of the rapid expansion, the universe in which it is located is completely destroyed."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then frowned.
"Obviously, there is an answer to this question." Yang Guang sighed before he said, "It can be said that this is an unsolvable contradiction. The point is not human beings, but we, or rather us and human beings together to form this contradiction. Our restraint will make intelligent life like human beings lose the vitality of development, and without our constraints, human beings will lead to destruction. While my speculation has been proven, it has also proven that it does not work, that we cannot rely on a tool with self-destructive tendencies to defeat conservatives. If we do that, then even if we defeat the conservatives, it will be meaningless, and even the gains will not outweigh the losses. ”
"So, you decided to leave the galaxy?"
"For me, it was the only option at the time."
"Why not do it a little more thoroughly?"
"What?"
"Directly destroy human civilization, and even destroy the entire solar system, and fundamentally eliminate the scourge."
"I want to do it too, but I can't." Yang Guang smiled faintly and said, "The point is that when I decided to leave the galaxy, I already knew that our radicals had suffered a crushing defeat in the North Alpha Galaxy, and it was still the conservatives who controlled the North Alpha Galaxy. ”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned and said, "You can still keep in touch with the rest of the Silent Sect?" ”
"Of course not." Yang Guang took a long breath before he said, "According to the plan, after the radicals win, they will change the structure of the North and South Alpha Systems, that is, create a new central black hole and let the North and South Alpha Star Systems come together. Obviously, such a thing did not happen, so I have enough reason to believe that the radicals were not able to achieve victory. While I can't say for sure whether the conservatives have won, I have to prepare for the worst. To put it simply, if the radicals are completely defeated and the conservatives still control the North Alpha system, then even if I rush back in a spaceship, I may not be able to change anything. If I fail, who will continue to fight the conservatives and explore the unknown? Obviously, it can only be humans, and only humans have such motivation and ability. Even if I don't make it to that point, the results of humanity have something to do with me. ”
"You ......"
"Don't forget, I created humanity, so anything that humanity achieves can be considered my achievement. Although the very existence of humanity is a great threat, I must reserve a hope for us, that is, for all the radicals who strive for a common ideal. It's just that when I made this decision, I didn't expect that the pace of human beings would be so fast. ”
"What do you mean?"
"In just a few thousand years, human beings have completed the entire process from dominating the solar system to dominating the galaxy, and have united all the naturally evolved intelligent beings in the galaxy, or become the commander of all intelligent civilizations, and have embarked on the road of self-destruction. Truth be told, humanity's ability to master and utilize advanced technology is far beyond what I imagined, even beyond our existence. If human beings are allowed to develop without any restrictions, it will only take a few million years at most, and the destruction caused by human beings will be enough to affect the entire universe. To put it simply, with the ability of human beings to self-destruct, the entire universe can be completely destroyed in millions of years. ”
Yang Yi was stunned and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief, because Yang Guang's words made him think of many things.
