Chapter 352: The Meaning of Life
In fact, the question raised by the Torol civilization is not very difficult, and it can even be said to be very simple, so simple that any creature with a little wisdom can say countless answers, and if you find one in the human society of the earth age, you can get many answers that seem to have many philosophies, but are completely meaningless when you think about it. For example, the meaning of life is to survive, and the meaning of life is to explore the unknown. With such an answer, Xiao Yu can say that there is no duplicate for three days and three nights in a row.
But it was because there were too many answers that Xiao Yu was even more confused. Xiao Yu didn't know which answer the Torol civilization wanted, or what kind of answer it wanted, or even what kind of purpose it was for asking this question, Xiao Yu didn't know any of these things, but Xiao Yu was sure of one thing, that is, the answer to this question would definitely not be simple.
So Xiao Yu directly gave up the intention of looking for answers, but replied directly, I don't know.
This is not an impulsive move. chose to answer like this, Xiao Yu also thought carefully. Rather than choosing one of the endless answers, it is better to answer directly and say that you don't know, perhaps, "don't know", which is also a qualified answer. Who can say for sure the answer to this philosophical question?
When Xiao Yu sent this message to the dwarf planet, the answer was also announced in the conference room, and all the scientists heard Xiao Yu's answer.
Several scientists looked gloomy and did not speak. They instinctively think that the answer "I don't know what's the point" is inappropriate, but when they do, they really don't know how to answer.
After saying this answer, Xiao Yu began to wait quietly, waiting for the answer that Smart One gave him. Xiao Yu at this moment. There was a kind of apprehension.
Smart One's answer came quickly, almost just when Xiao Yu's answer was sent, he replied, and the answer was very concise: "Are you sure you want to use 'don't know' as the answer to the second test?" ”
"Yes, I'm sure." Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and replied.
"Well, you've passed the second test." Smart One was silent for a moment, and gave a very unexpected answer.
"Passed?" Xiao Yu, who heard this answer, looked at the scientists present in the conference room. This result was really beyond Xiao Yu's expectations. It even gave birth to a kind of "What kind of plane is the Torol civilization doing?" Can such an answer pass? It's a bit too child's play. ”
In Xiao Yu's jihua, Xiao Yu has long been mentally prepared to pass the test. Intelligence One said that if he fails to pass the test, he will be permanently detained in this small universe. But after thinking about it, Xiao Yu didn't think that this punishment was unacceptable. After all. Intelligence One only said that he wanted to detain himself here, but he did not say that he wanted to destroy himself. That's very easy to do. Under the constraints of hard and fast rules. Most of the intelligent number one can't make a move on himself, and there are no other enemies here, as long as there is enough time, Xiao Yu will sooner or later develop to the level of a sixth-level civilization, and then he will be able to go out again with his liliang.
This choice is very helpless. Losing communication with the rest of the civilizations, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to reach the level of a sixth-level civilization, but this way. It's also a feasible move.
But the answer of Smart One greatly surprised Xiao Yu's expectations, it said that Xiao Yu passed the test.
"I am the leader of the Torol civilization, my people, and this is my message to you." Just when Xiao Yu was silent, another piece of information reached Xiao Yu's mind.
"I'm glad you've finally discovered the information we've left behind and made it here through many trials. As the existence that created your shijie, I am very happy in my heart. You have lived up to my expectations. Come to think of it, you don't care about the little tests you have in the beginning, do you? ”
"I know you must think that Intelligence One has its own independent mind, and that it is hostile to you, right? You are wrong, the level of technology of the sixth-level civilization is not enough to create intelligent life with its own independent thinking. Yes, the deception of you, the threats to you, are all carried out by the procedures we have set aside, and all of them are deliberate on our part. Deception and threats against you are only part of the first test. Luckily, you passed the first test. ”
"Passing the first test has proven your ability to survive and your sensitivity to danger and intrigue, which is very important in the universe. I'm glad you weren't swallowed up by the traps we had laid down. ”
"Now that you have passed the first test, let me now explain the intent of the second test. I guess you are very puzzled that we Weishenme would ask such a question. In fact, we don't know the answer to such a philosophical question as the meaning of life. It seems that since birth, we have been constantly struggling to survive and survive better, but we do not think that survival is the meaning of life. Within our civilization, there are also many different views and many debates on this issue. But there is one thing that we agree on, that is, when developing civilization itself and improving its own technology, we must never forget the meaning of our own existence, because this is the biggest problem in the universe. There are so many unsolved mysteries in the universe, but as intelligent beings, we should not completely get lost in these unknowns and forget ourselves. ”
So we set this question as a second test. But in our judging process, we don't set the correct answer as a reference at all. That is, no matter what your answer is, even if your answer is that the meaning of life is to wait for death, it doesn't matter, you will still pass the test. We set this question just to make you reflect on yourself, to think about it, and we hope that this kind of thinking will bring you some benefits, so that your future development path will be smoother - now it seems that our goal has been achieved, from the time we ask the second question to the time you give the answer to the second question, which has taken a total of several months. In the past few months, you must have had a lot of deep thinking and extensive discussions, and you must have gained a new understanding of the meaning of life, right? ”
The message from Zhizhi-1 was relayed to the conference room by Xiao Yu in real time and broadcast to all the scientists attending the meeting. Hearing the words of the leader of the Torol civilization, the scientists looked at each other, and they all saw a sense of realization in each other's eyes.
Xiao Yu only felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, making his thoughts much clearer.
"That's true, that's true." Xiao Yu muttered to himself, thinking of the fourth-level beast that died in his hands, and remembering the 10 million dwarven youths who were almost killed by himself, but were finally put back.
"The meaning of life, the meaning of life ......" Xiao Yu thought silently, and seemed to have a little understanding, which is very mysterious and cannot be described in words.
"Sixth-level civilization is worthy of being a sixth-level civilization. It seems that the difference in rank is not just in strength. Where the Torol civilization surpasses me, in addition to technology, there is also humanity, all aspects of a society, and they are all above me. At this moment, Xiao Yu had a feeling of joy and convincing for the Torol civilization.
"My form of existence is too special, and there are the largest number of dwarves in my fleet, so it is possible that they mistakenly think that my fleet is still dominated by dwarves, and they are not aware of my presence. But it doesn't matter, the dwarves are your descendants after all, and I will take your place so that Haode can take care of the dwarves. Xiao Yu made up his mind.
The message of Intelligence One continues: "What kind of perception of the existence of life is your own wealth. This wealth is far more important than technology. In the long river of time, we hope that you will stick to your beliefs, even in the face of the existence of a civilization as strong as the Sweeper, you will be steadfast, and do not bow your head easily. ”
"That's all for the second test for now. Below, there is the third test, which is also a test for zuihou. ”
"Before the third test, I will first teach you the space weapon, the use of the space to split the space...... Hmm, okay. Let me tell you the details of the third test. ”
"I'm going to tell you the unfortunate thing that when we built this little universe, we only built entrances, not exits. In other words, if you want to get out of this small universe, you need to rely on your own liliang to do it. The specific way to get out, within our civilization, we have used the scientific and technological strength of the fourth-level civilization for a long time, and the conclusion proves that as long as the correct method is found, the scientific and technological strength of the fourth-level civilization, with the help of space weapons, has every hope of going out. But unfortunately, we are not going to tell you about this solution, and it will be up to you to rely on your own wisdom to find out. ”
"Let's take this as a test for our zuihou for you...... Remember, you only have ten years, and if you can't get out for ten years, you will dissipate into nothingness along with this small universe due to the principle of entropy increase......" (to be continued......
