Chapter 347: Test Subject
This time, the harvest is very huge, not only to get the flesh and blood of the fourth-level alien beast up to one trillion tons, but more importantly, to remove a big trouble, there is no longer this thing to entangle himself, so that he can concentrate all his energy to face this damn intelligent number one with his own consciousness.
Cleaning up the battlefield is nothing more than repairing the damaged spaceship, recycling some useful instruments and the like, the corpses of the alien beasts are too large, and there is no way to dispose of them for the time being, so they are simply put together with the fragments of those sixth-level civilization warships in this small universe, and don't worry about it for the time being. I can't lose it here anyway.
These things don't consume much computing power. At the end of the battle, after this fourth-level beast was killed by Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu immediately presided over another meeting.
"The meaning of life in the universe is too mysterious, although we are scientists in the Department of Psychosocial Sciences, but what we study is not in this area, unfortunately, master, we have no way to contribute our wisdom to you in this regard." At the meeting, Luca II, who is the leader of the scientists of the Department of Psychosocial Sciences, shook his head in embarrassment and said to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sighed slightly. Luca 2 said so, then Luca 3 and Luca 4 have no hope. But...... If this problem cannot be solved, how can this second test be passed?
Xiao Yu looked around at the scientists again. Fewer than 50 scientists participated in the conference. Now under Xiao Yu's subordinates, there are more than 100 races, and in this way, it is an average of two races to produce a scientist who is qualified to sit here, and their elite nature is beyond doubt. But. Even they, above this question, are deterred and cannot find an answer.
"I have a suggestion." In the silence, Luca IV, whose research direction is more focused on life sciences, stood up and said to Xiao Yu: "Our shortcomings lie in the imperfection of the social structure, and we do not have a suitable environment for the birth of philosophers. But it doesn't matter, if we don't have the right environment, we will create an environment. If there are no philosophers, we will train some philosophers. ”
"It's easier said than done to build a social environment and train philosophers." As soon as Luca IV's words were finished, he was opposed by another scientist. "It takes at least tens of millions of people to form a complete social structure. It takes at least a few hundred years to train a philosopher. Where do we have the energy and time to do this now? ”
"No, not necessarily." Luca IV shook his head and said, "It doesn't take hundreds of years, only three days is enough." But 10 million people are needed, only. It is not for them to form a complete social structure, but for them to ...... Take one of my experiments. ”
"Experiments?" Xiao Yu asked with some confusion.
"Yes, experiments." Lukka IV nodded and said, "The information processing center of the dwarves is the brain. All the sensations of touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell, etc., are felt by the nerves distributed throughout the body, and then transmitted to the brain for processing. In this case, there is one thing that is very easy to do, I need you to send me 10 million dwarves, I will use the instruments I have made, directly connect to their brains, rely on the instruments to simulate all kinds of feelings, in these instruments, I will let them go through all kinds of life, or hardship, or poverty, or fine clothes and food, or the first half of life is prosperous, the second half of life is down, or the first half of life is down, the second half of life is rich, or there are several ups and downs in life...... In short, I arranged 10 million virtual lives for them to experience. And the environment in which they live is also different, some are feudal era, some are interstellar age, some are first-level civilizations, some are fourth-level civilizations or even fifth-level civilizations. ”
"Before the experiment, I would wash all their current memories and let them go through these things in a blank slate. I will create a completely normal social structure of technological civilization, and let them experience joys and sorrows and life in it. I believe that under such circumstances, many philosophers will be born. When the experiment is complete, we'll ask them about it. Perhaps, they will surprise us. ”
"This is my Jihua." After Luka IV finished speaking, he bowed to Xiao Yu, and then sat down in his seat.
"How can the problem of time be solved? Could it be that we have to wait more than a hundred years in this small universe just to let them finish their experience so that we can ask them this question? Another scientist disputed.
"No, we only need three days." Lukka IV replied, "The speed of time passing in a normal shijie does not change, but the speed of time passing as perceived by living beings can change. Don't forget that the organ that processes time information is also the brain. We can artificially alter the speed at which they perceive the passage of time, and in just three days it makes them feel like a hundred years have passed. ”
"I have one more question." The scientist raised his hand again. Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and it continued: "The efficiency of biological brains in processing information is limited, what has been experienced in a hundred years is a large stream of information, the information that was originally a hundred years old, now let their brains process it in three days, can their brains complete this task?" ”
Luca IV glanced at the scientist lightly and said, "By stimulating potential drugs, their brains can do it." But...... After all, this is more than they can handle, and after three days, when the experiment is over, their brains will be completely dead. ”
"This is the price to pay for processing information in three days and a hundred years." Luca IV said lightly.
There was silence in the room, not a sound. All the scientists were shocked by Luca IV's magnanimity. Ten million dwarves? Virtual social structures? Virtual experience? And all this, just to find an answer to a question?
At this time, even Xiao Yu felt that his thinking was a little difficult.
It's not that Xiao Yu hasn't done anything about killing, and he has also done a lot of things to exterminate the clan, the lizardmen he met at the beginning, and the Molian people later, there are many clansmen of any race who died in Xiao Yu's hands. However, that is because of the clear interests and goals, and if they do not kill them, they will kill themselves.
Xiao Yu has always been reluctant to kill, especially unwilling to kill for no reason. Luca No. 4's proposal completely hit Xiao Yu's heart. The indifference shown by these scientists when they were talking made Xiao Yu secretly frightened.
"Master, the dwarven race has developed to more than 40 billion people up to now, I think it is quite cost-effective to spend the lives of 10 million dwarves to carry out this jihua, and the loss is within our acceptable range." Luca II said.
"Yes, I agree." Another scientist also expressed his opinion, "With our current computer technology and biotechnology, it is completely possible to do this." However, intelligent programs may not be up to the task, and you need to allocate computing power to create everything virtual for them. ”
Xiao Yu knew about this scientist, this scientist was a member of the Eighth race, named Luo Fei, and was an expert in computer technology. In the process of developing a new type of computer, this scientist has made great contributions and has been commended by Xiao Yu many times.
"I agree."
"Agreed."
Lucca IV's proposal was unanimously approved by the participating scientists.
But Xiao Yu hesitated at this time. Because Xiao Yu found that all the scientists were concerned about the feasibility of the experiment, the success rate of the experiment, and the effect of the experiment, but no one cared about the life or death of these tens of millions of dwarven experiments.
Even, Xiao Yu found that even he didn't seem to care much about these dwarven clansmen who were used as test subjects.
It's life, living life. At the very beginning, they respectfully called themselves gods, willing to give everything, including their lives, for themselves. Now, at the cost of their lives, they have to exchange the answer to a question.
It's brutal, it's cruel. Xiao Yu's feelings can't accept such a thing, but Xiao Yu's reason has already made a decision, this experiment is worth doing.
Normally, in Xiao Yu's mind, the confrontation between emotion and reason is the victory of reason. If it weren't for this quality, in these 10,000 years of wandering, Xiao Yu would have died no longer knowing how many times.
It's a sad question, not for themselves, but for the dwarves who are about to be used as test subjects. A meeting decided the life and death of 10 million dwarves, in this meeting, scientists discussed how to divide a pig, where the meat will be cooked to make the most delicious, will play the greatest value, they discussed hotly, but no scientist will take into account the feelings of the pig.
"The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle...... This is the sorrow of being a vassal race, and you can't live or die by yourself. I only hope that if I can revive humanity, we human beings, will not have such a day. ”
"Where is the meaning of their lives when they become experimental subjects and are slaughtered by others?" Xiao Yu thought a little confused, but his firm words came out: "The proposal is passed." I will allocate the computing power and perform this jihua myself. (To be continued......)
