Chapter 678: Captivity
"None of us have ever seen a world controlled by the planet itself. This cannot but be said to be a great regret. The emergence of living things means that there must be food as a support. Planetary consciousness is just an energy. Under the premise of mutual conversion and perpetual energy, it can be said to be flawless in this regard. For a long time, we believed that human beings are the spirit of all things, the rulers of the world. This kind of hubris has driven us to make all sorts of changes to the world. I don't know exactly what planetary consciousness thinks. Earth, for example, seems to be asleep in its planetary consciousness, or simply silently watching. I'm really curious, I'm a scientist and I have to know if planetary consciousness has the ability to control the whole world? This is my greatest wish, more important than anything else. ”
Haig tore a piece of flesh from his shoulder, squeezed back and forth between the pieces of flesh with his fingers and nails, as if trying to find possible hidden objects in every muscle fiber, and said in a low voice, "You seem to have forgotten why we came to this world." You just mentioned the earth, have you forgotten that we all come from that place? The Atlanteans unleashed a storm of viruses on Earth, and in order to stop them from making things worse, we came here through the Guò portal. I remember that you were not like this at that time. You look like a real human, a true warrior. ”
Wang Qinian's huge head did not change at all, but the depths of his electronic eyes continued to release inexplicable light. Obviously, Haig's words touched the things in his heart that wanted to be closed. But it's just a touch, not a prying.
Haig broke his left arm with all his might, shoved the broken bone into his mouth and sucked it hard, then spat out the bloody bone marrow one by one: "You found a secret from me, and you want to use it for yourself, is that right?" ”
Wang Qinian looked at it coldly: "The will of the planet is not a secret. In fact, when I was on Earth, I was already aware of its existence. However, at that time there was no concrete concept and no evidence, just a very vague speculation. ”
Haig slowly chewed his bones with his teeth, and asked vaguely, "So, you chose to leave Earth, walk into the portal, and come here?" ”
The bones were so hard that Haig's teeth were shattered, and he couldn't tell which ones were bones? What are the tooth fragments?
"The environment on Earth is too complex, and there are many things that even I can't control."
Wang Qinian acquiesced to Haig's speculation: "Lao Tzu hates the country, and I don't know when this idea came about. Throughout history, the guys who want to establish power are all villains who want to get ahead. Even those so-called "Ming Jun" in history are just callers who betray, ravage, and torture another group of people for their own selfish interests or the interests of others. I admit that civilization is constantly multiplying in this chaotic process, and the so-called "progress" is actually based on countless corpses and dead people. From a biological point of view, the essence of war is the accumulation of proteins, their recombination, and then their emergence in more life forms. I was able to understand the social framework that prevented murderers from being sentenced to death, and I wanted to get out of the world that suffocated me. So Lao Tzu left the earth, and I knew that Su Hao had a special ability that everyone who identified with it followed. I have a good relationship with Su Hao, and he will definitely leave me a position here that is important enough. I guessed right, the only regret is that he left before I arrived. That's where I miscalculated. ”
François suddenly roared: "I knew it was so. I'm not wrong. You have had ulterior motives all along. You want to replace the emperor, you want to dominate the whole world, we all misjudge you. You, you, you're a ......."
The latter words, François could no longer speak. A thick robotic arm circled his body like a python, firmly gagging his mouth with a soft rubber-like substance. In the process, a passage appeared in Wang's jaw, and two robotic arms separated from the inside of his metal body to create a strangely shaped object. What looked like a pocket, François was stuffed into it by a robotic arm, and the surface of the "pocket" quickly closed. Through the transparent cover at the top, François can be seen lying in anger and blurting out curses, smashing his hands on the wall.
The soundproofing was so good that Haig was just a few meters away, and he couldn't hear his scolding, not even the vibration of his fist hitting the wall.
"I've always hated this guy. Always chirping, looking like how great it feels, proud like a peacock anytime and anywhere, but he can't even fart or speak. ”
Wang Qinian looked at the black "pocket" placed on the ground with a disdainful and cold gaze, and the hundreds of mechanical arms separated from the jaw position quickly closed and combined with each other, and the process was like countless hairs being held together, thickened, enlarged, and twisted into a giant rope with a diameter of about fifty meters. At the top of it, various parts and electronic pipelines constantly changed the shape of the combination, and soon a giant black hand with a length of more than 100 meters and a metallic luster appeared.
Five fingers slowly clenched into fists in the air. Under Haig's gaze, the huge black fist slowly stood upright, and at François, who was imprisoned in the black "pocket" and roared angrily, he popped out his middle finger with a "bang", making a very insulting and sarcastic action.
"You goddamn reptile, get out!"
Wang Qinian let out a cry that was stronger than an explosion, his fingers bent, and with undisguised mockery, he flicked the black "pocket" far away. A large hole immediately appeared above the black arched dome, and François seemed so weak in the face of this irresistible force that he could only watch himself suddenly fly from the ground, with a strong sense of weightlessness, his face pale, and he screamed and disappeared into the sky.
Haig still had his right hand unbroken. It picked up the stump of its own torn body from the ground, stuffed it into its mouth one bite at a time, and chewed it. It was as if a hungry beast was eating, and the terrible thing was that it was eating its own body.
"I remember that you were married and had a son."
Haig didn't care about Wang Qinian's movements like playing marbles, and asked calmly: "Does your wife know about these things you do?" ”
"To be honest, Nightshade is the person I can't worry about the most."
This question clearly gets to the point. On Wang Qinian's rigid and hard metal skin, a wry smile appeared for the first time: "I regret it." I was supposed to be on the ship, but she was ahead of it. She is the best woman in the world, and the only concern I can't rest assured. ”
Haig was still haunted by the previous question: "What about your son?" Why don't you think about them? ”
"What do they have to do with me?"
Wang Qinian asked rhetorically: "What have they done for me?" Give me a pension? Or in order to meet Lao Tzu's request, take the initiative to dance a striptease to show me? Speaking of responsibility, it should be that they bear the burden for me. If it weren't for Lao Tzu's kindness, they would have been washed into the sewers one by one, and they wouldn't even have the qualifications to appear in this world. ”
Haig nodded: "I knew that it was definitely not a good thing for you to take the initiative to say something like asking me to be your granddaughter." I should record all the words you just said, and let your wife and son listen to them later. ”
"Huh! You'll never get that chance. ”
The rogue nature has become an indelible imprint in Wang Qinian's bones: "They won't believe what you say, they will only choose to believe me." I am a husband and a father. What about you? Just an outlier. ”
Haig spat out the last piece of flesh that had just been chewed in his mouth and asked, "Sue me, what are you going to do?" How do you want to ruin the world? ”
Wang Qinian was silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know either." I just have a vague idea, but I don't know exactly how to do it. ”
"What concept?"
"To destroy miè is to be reborn."
When he said this, Wang Qinian looked very solemn, just like those legendary masters of the Tao, with a solemn and sacred momentum.
Haig stared at him blankly for several minutes, then slowly spat out a question.
"Are you farting?"
Wang Qinian suddenly became furious, and the ground and head began to shake violently, emitting a terrifying shock.
"How dare you talk to me in such a tone? Do you think I'm writing and acting out a farce? What do you think is the essence of this world? Life? Morality? Civilization? Why don't you look at yourself, you're a rat in the first place, and I know that discussing this with a rat will never end well. Do you know where you are now? Do you know what the future holds? ”
Haig lay on the ground, wiped a handful of blood on the surface of the metal layer, and asked suspiciously, "You know?" ”
"Of course I know a lot more than you do!"
Wang Qinian's expression was extremely fierce: "It is precisely because I have determined that the planet exists in the consciousness that I will come here through the portal." I originally thought that Su Hao would discover this secret earlier than me, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid that he would actually take the initiative to enter the portal of this world. He didn't understand at all that I, you, and Su Hao were the ...... of this world No, it should be the most powerful being in this time dimension. This conclusion may not be 100% correct, but it is in the right direction. ”
Haig stopped what he was doing and asked incomprehensibly, "We are the most powerful being?" What do you mean? ”
"You have the ability to devour planets, and I've been inspired by you to transform myself into my current state."
Wang Qinian looked like he hated iron and steel: "Don't use the old-fashioned logical thinking on the earth to bind your brain. The word "powerful" does not refer to just weapons, strength, power, wealth, and so on. Its true concept should refer to the adaptation to this universe, as well as the existence and development within a certain range. Take the simplest example: a basin filled with water. An ant fell into it, and as a result, it was drowned alive. But if a fish falls into it, the water is no longer a source of death, but becomes the best support for the fish. It must obey the will of the fish, and change according to the trajectory and speed of the fish's swimming, resulting in splashes, ripples, and so on. ”
"The universe is a huge basin where the fish that live in the water are unable to feel, or completely ignore the existence of the water. It's like humans depend on the air to survive, but few people pay attention to it, and they can't see the air currents with the naked eye. This is the result of the mutual bondage between thinking and reality. Air is lethal to anaerobic organisms that cannot be seen by the eye. However, for humans, the environment with oxygen is very comfortable, but at the same time it restricts the area and scope of human activities. Will humans be able to survive in space without any assistive devices? The answer is clearly no. Now, if you expand the angle of observation and take the planet as the object, you will immediately find that space is the real environment suitable for the planet's survival. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Haig's eyes: "This is what you call planetary consciousness?" ”
"No, there's more to it than that!"
Wang Qinian sighed heavily, and his voice was low: "You should take a long-term view." No matter how large a basin filled with water is, there are limits to distance and range. No matter how much the fish can dominate in the water basin and flutter happily, it can only toss back and forth in the watery environment. It pees and poops in it, causing a large number of microorganisms to multiply, and then eats these filthy but nutritious things, so that its body grows day by day. It is said that fish can purify the environment, but in fact, it is a process of converting garbage into its own energy. It will become very fat, and then by chance, or by the choice of the cell itself, a female fish will appear. So they mate, then they multiply, they increase in number, and they become populations...... In the end, there were too many of them, and the space in the basin was compressed, and every fish was uncomfortable. The solution to the problem is nothing more than war, you kill me, I eat you, the corpses of the dead raise more nutrients, and the surviving fish become stronger and stronger. ”
"With enough energy, which is nutrition, stupid guys become smarter. They are also afraid of war, of having opponents stronger than themselves. It is not surprising to have this thought, metabolism is a problem that almost all species have to face. When you are old and weak, you will naturally lose the capital to deal with other fish. Under this premise, wisdom is particularly important. You can think of it as a conspiracy, or any other derogatory term. But this is the case, if you can't win a war, you can use your brains, and the so-called diplomacy is a continuation of war, in fact, this is the truth. ”
"What you say, it's all true?"
From Wang Qinian's words, Haig had already thought of some bad results. Even it didn't notice that its voice would suddenly become shaky. At the moment he blurted out, Haig understood that he had asked a very stupid question.
"There are two ways to solve the basin problem. Either continue the war, or find another suitable place to live. ”
Wang Qinian smiled, and once again showed Gao Sen's unpredictable expression: "The appearance of amphibians is because of food on the one hand, and environmental changes on the other. The fish in the water left the basin and found a much wider space outside. As a result, in them, there is a more strict differentiation. Part of the people thought it was necessary to continue to maintain their aquatic properties, so the fins became claws, and amphibians and reptiles appeared. The other part chose a completely terrestrial environment, evolved hind limbs, and then developed into upright walking animals, and then humans. ”
"The earth is already too crowded, and we all yearn for the blue sky above our heads. So, the universe was discovered. ”
After all, human perspectives are limited, so like "the universe is infinite" is regarded as a classic by people who don't know what's going on. Looking back, aren't they a bunch of fish who feel that the basin is too crowded and want to find another new world? When the fish first came ashore from the water, it was almost like this, and they felt that this new world was so big and so big that it was so big that the word "infinite" naturally came into being. This situation will continue to change as technology advances. In the end, the people of the earth will clearly know that the universe is actually just another relatively large basin. ”
"Adaptation is a very difficult and long process."
Wang Qinian said seriously: "Only planets can adapt to the universe. That's the secret I've discovered on Earth. I've always wanted to find a chance to prove my ideas. I can't find the answer on Earth. Because the earth is too much of a bag. Hum! You may not understand why I use the word "nest". That planet is ravaged by hundreds of millions of humans every day, riding on their heads and and peeing unscrupulously. Although parasites are small, if there are too many of them, they are also a nuisance that cannot be ignored. Humanity has grown to the point where the earth itself is too numerous to solve, mineral resources have been extracted, forests have disappeared, water is littered with rancid pollutants, and even the air has become full of toxic substances. A home full of flies, mosquitoes, rats and cockroaches, would you like it? Would you like to stay there any longer? What would you do as a host? ”
Haig didn't notice at all that his consciousness was unconsciously guided by Wang Qinian, and he subconsciously replied: "Spraying pesticides?" How many more cats? ”
"That's just the solution when the problem first arises. You are a mouse yourself, what do you do when you face a cat? Turn around and run away? Or invite friends, relatives, wives and children, three aunts and six mothers-in-law, everyone pounces together, you eat cat ears, I gnaw cat thighs, and everyone comes to a dinner? ”
Haig understood what Wang Qinian wanted to express: "The earth is no longer saved? "There were rancid pollutants everywhere, and even the air was full of toxic substances. A home full of flies, mosquitoes, rats and cockroaches, would you like it? Would you like to stay there any longer? What would you do as a host? ”
