Chapter 343: Philosophical Questions

Seeing the more than 30,000 spaceships leaving here quickly, Xiao Yu knew that he had done it. The truth is exactly as the scientists of this fifty-eighth race guessed. After giving the correct answer, the ships returned to the station.

"Well done! Long Fei! You've done a great job, and I'll reward you and your race! Xiao Yu was very happy in his heart, and after receiving the relevant information, he immediately reported the result.

As a new scientist, the first time I participated in the plenary meeting, I solved a big problem in such an occasion, and left a very important impression in Xiao Yu's heart, which is a very good phenomenon.

At this time, the fifty-eighth race scientist named Long Fei finally became excited, it stood up, bowed to Xiao Yu repeatedly, and kept saying xiexie, xiexie.

Xiao Yu smiled and motioned for it to sit down, and at this time, there was warm applause in the conference room.

The patriarch of the Fifty-Eight race, a psychosocial scientist under Luca II, also participated in the meeting. After seeing these things, it clapped its hands excitedly: "Long Fei, this kid is so good, he really gave us the face of the fifty-eighth race." When I go back, I'm going to reward it severely. ”

After a short period of excitement, Xiao Yu waved his hand and signaled all the participating scientists to be quiet. Because, Xiao Yu once again received a message from Smart No. 1.

"The first test passed. Now for the second test. Please answer what is the meaning of life in the universe. ”

In this message, Xiao Yu was keenly aware of one point, that is, when Smart One broadcast this message, there seemed to be something missing in its tone. A little more of a cold mechanical taste. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yu understood what was missing.

Less, it's the kind of humanized feeling. It seems that at this moment, Intelligence One has once again become a cold program, losing all independent thinking.

"Is it the hard-limit code inside the program that works? After confirming that I passed the first test, force it to inform me of the real second test? Xiao Yu immediately made a guess, "Very good, very good, now we have entered the second stage." ”

In this first phase, there is one more remaining issue. That is, after Weishenme enters the second stage, these ships will go back. Xiao Yu couldn't figure out what was going on, but in speculation, Xiao Yu thought. Presumably related to some hard program restrictions within Smart One, what are they. Xiao Yu was not interested in knowing. As long as it works, it's fine. Why focus on the process.

The answer of Smart No. 1 was broadcast by Xiao Yu to the large conference room in real time, and all 17,000 scientists received this message. Immediately, it was like a pot exploded in the conference room, and all the scientists began to talk: "What kind of test is this?" What is the problem? ”

"In our speculation, the Torol civilization was set to test the development potential of the dwarven civilization. But can such a question also test whether a civilization has the potential for development? This is not common sense, this is not scientific. ”

There is no fixed answer to such a question. Everyone's answer will not be the same, how do we know how to answer to pass the test? ”

"Could this be another trick by Intelligence One?"

Xiao Yu and Luca No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 glanced at each other, and each saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes.

"This is a very jishu ......question," Luca II tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said slowly, "Is it possible to test the development potential of a civilization through the degree of philosophical development?" The Torol civilization is worthy of being a sixth-level civilization, and it can even think of such a method......"

In the course of the development of civilization, one thing that is certain is that different levels of science and technology will shape different intelligent creatures. These two things are inherently interrelated. The development of science and technology will improve the physical fitness of intelligent beings, and the improvement of the physical fitness of intelligent beings will in turn increase the speed of development of science and technology. In this cycle, the rest of the derivatives, such as social structures, thinking trends, and understandings of nature, the universe, and life will also be different.

To give a simple example, ancient people believed in the existence of gods due to the lack of technology, while modern people do not believe in ghosts and gods. Even if Xiao Yu shaped himself into a god in front of the dwarf race, Xiao Yu had already redefined the gods, eliminating concepts such as omnipotence and mastering the cycle of life and death from the definition, and instilling all of them into the thinking of the dwarves. The dwarves actually know that Xiao Yu is just another civilization with more advanced technology, and calling Xiao Yu a god is just an honorific title.

In this way, this philosophical question seems to have a lot of jishu content. One thing is for sure, the third-level civilization, the fourth-level civilization, and the fifth-level civilization will not have the same understanding of the meaning of life. This is in a certain social atmosphere spawned by a certain level of science and technology, and is summarized by philosophers.

Xiao Yu is not a scientist. Among Xiao Yu's subordinate races, the Department of Psychosocial Sciences is barely related to philosophy, but it is not authentic. Among the dwarves, in Xiao Yu's cultivation for hundreds of years, philosophers cannot be said to be none, but in short, they are very rare. Moreover, it is very important that they are too seriously influenced by Xiao Yu, and consequentially, their understanding of life and the like will not be the same as the understanding of life in the naturally developed civilization.

"It's a very jishu problem." Xiao Yu agreed with Luca No. 2's statement and nodded silently, "We are not an ordinary scientific and technological civilization, and our social structure is actually not perfect. Under my rule, people can live a life of abundance without hard work, and on the other hand, some of the insights in life will not appear. Without the hardships of life without clothing and food, living beings would not have formed a matching view of shijie, and it can be said that the social environment I have created is not suitable for the survival of philosophers. ”

"What you gain will lose something." Luca II smiled helplessly: "There are only conspirators in the universe, not philosophers. ”

"Even if we have a sufficient number of philosophers who can perfectly simulate the answer to this question from a complete fourth-level civilization, the chances of our answer passing are still not very high." Luca III added, "Don't forget, Intelligence One already has its own intelligence, and it is up to it to judge whether the answer passes or not, and there is no fixed answer to such a philosophical question, it is not like the first question, and it can be forced by its internal judging process to judge us through a fixed answer." For such a philosophical question, it exerts a little influence and it will lead us to fail. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded, "This Torol civilization is real...... What a ......."

It's been a long time, but Xiao Yu didn't really come out of anything.

"If my type of existence is too rare in the galaxy, even if it is just me, I even have to suspect that this Torol civilization came up with such a problem specifically to deal with me." Xiao Yu said helplessly, "Among the scientific and technological civilizations in the entire galaxy, it is estimated that only I will have such an imperfect social structure." ”

"So what do we do next?" Luca IV asked.

"I noticed something." Xiao Yu said, "The Torol civilization does not stipulate a time to pass the test, which means that we have a lot of time to think of a way. Now...... Don't rush to solve this matter first, get rid of this damn beast first. ”

After the 30,000 untouchable spaceships left in an instant, the fourth-level alien beast had already stopped there, and the next moment, it realized something and sent out a broadcast message, and then quickly turned around and ran.

Xiao Yu received this message, and after it was restored to a sound signal, it was probably a sharp chirp, which was full of anger.

"Want to run?" Xiao Yu laughed viciously in his heart: "This small universe is so big, where can you run?" You chased me and chased me very happily, didn't you? ”

"The five national-level spacecraft formations, including the China spacecraft, the Russian spacecraft, and the Palestine spacecraft, stayed behind to protect the Homeland spacecraft, and the remaining ten national-level spacecraft, leading one and a half million remaining spacecraft, to launch a hunt!"

"Now, it's time for me to hunt you down! I have caused so much trouble, and if I don't kill you, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart! Xiao Yu thought viciously, manipulating one and a half million spaceships to separate from the main fleet, and quickly accelerated, thinking about the fourth-level alien beast that had escaped.

This is a small universe, and the space scope is so large that before mastering space technology, no matter how much you escape, you can't run anywhere. So, here's the best place to get rid of this damn tail.

In fact, when he first came to this small universe, Xiao Yu had this thought, but he was delayed by a series of things later, and he didn't have time to attack this guy. Now, Zhizhi-1 is temporarily silent, and how to pass the second test still needs to be carefully considered, and there is no hurry, this is the best time to get rid of the trouble.

Xiao Yu has already made up his mind to kill this guy even if he desperately loses one or two national-level spaceships.

As a result, a full 1.5 million spaceships, in this small universe, started a new round of hide and seek with this fourth-level beast. It's just that the roles of the pursuer and the escapee have changed once. (To be continued......)
