Chapter 750: The Ancestor Is Dead
Seeing the three prophets leave the office, Hale sat down on the couch and waited quietly.
He had always known how difficult it would be to "meet the Promised Land" in personβit was not a matter of standing in front of the Promised Land from a distance and looking at it, but he had to connect his consciousness to the Promised Land through a brain-controlled device and have a dialogue with the ancestors of the Promised Land who were like gods.
Needless to say, the ancestors of Elysium were omnipotent and omniscient.
Therefore, Hall is curious to know, the ancestors ...... Do you know that the civilization called human beings, they have shown technology and ability, which has surpassed the decaying empire?
It is only that the power to talk to the Promised Land is firmly held in the Promised Place, and unless there is an extremely important event, it is extremely difficult for others to have the opportunity to talk to the Promised Land - more often it is reported to the Promised Land, and then conveyed to the Promised Land, and let the Almighty Paradise give guidance.
At this time, the three prophets had to go to a discussion to see if they could give him the authority to face the promised land.
β¦β¦
While waiting, Hall was bored, stood up, took a paper scroll from the bookshelf next to him, and looked at it carefully.
This book is popular reading, from a famous writer of servant civilization, and the plot of the story is very old-fashioned, nothing more than some love and love plots...... Perhaps because he felt that it was a bit suitable for his and Liana's situation, Hall even watched it with relish.
Time passed slowly, until the portable communication terminal he had placed on the coffee table suddenly pulsed.
He glanced at it, and it was Liana's name.
"Hall, where are you?"
"I'm in your teacher's office." Hall closed the book, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Teacher Kling and several bigwig prophets have already held a small meeting to discuss, and there may be results soon......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Liana: "Well, there's something wrong with 32911. β
Hall was slightly stunned, and immediately put down the book: "Don't they have two Enlightenment over there?" What's wrong? β
"It's the Enlightenment that has happened." Liana took a soft breath and said in a deep voice, "The Enlightenment is missing. β
"What?" Hall got up in an instant! In just an instant, he thought of the fact that the human race had mastered the high-dimensional delivery technology that he had guessed before, and immediately took a deep breath: "Is it the same as the situation when Mai was in the earliest?" β
"Yes, as soon as the two Enlightenment ships jumped out of the Star Gate, they disappeared directly in this universe." Liana spoke very slowly, especially the three words "this universe", and she especially accentuated her tone.
Hall took a deep breath and his eyes flashed: "And then?" Are they missing? β
"They only lost contact for a while, then reconnected to the base 30 control tower via the broadcast band, and then ...... They found out that they went...... High-dimensional universe. β
Hall instantly sucked into his heel in one gulp.
Just then, the door to the conference room opened, and Prophet Kling and Dean Dorey appeared in the doorway.
"Hall, the Council of the House of the Prophets has allowed you to see Promised Land."
Hall slowly clenched his hands into fists, his brows furrowed deeply, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Teacher, is it because you also know about the Enlightenment?" β
Prophet Kling stared at Hall, he didn't speak, just turned around and waited for Hall to follow.
Footsteps were heard, and Hale approached Prophet Klin.
The three of them walked down the corridor all the way into the elevator in silence.
When the top button was pressed, Prophet Kling looked at Hall: "Hall, have you ever thought about what the ancestors are now, and where are they?" β
Hall was slightly stunned, not knowing what Prophet Klin's words meant.
But it was clear that Prophet Kling did not expect him to answer, but was silent for a few seconds before whispering: "The last step for every scholar to become a prophet is to obtain the approval and assessment of the Promised Land, but after that, even we ...... It is also rare to have the opportunity to communicate directly with the Promised Land. β
"So what should I ask later?" Hall became nervous for no apparent reason.
"You can directly communicate your doubts and ask all your questions."
Hale nodded, but looked at Prophet Kling in confusion - he didn't know why the Prophet would ask such a thoughtless sentence.
Prophet Kling didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly: "You can feel it for yourself later." β
Hall snorted, and his expression became serious.
The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and the trio passed through three checks to a room enclosed in glass.
In the room, only a lone chair is placed in the very center.
Hale stepped into the room at the instructions of the two prophets, and before he could pick up the brain control device hanging from the back of his chair, the door slowly closed.
Hall took a deep breath and sat down in his chair after putting on his brain controls.
Outside the thick glass wall, Prophet Kling and Dean DorΓ© glanced at each other, and both pressed their palms against a row of detectors at the same time, and a moment later, the lights in the entire glass room were turned off at the same time.
But the darkness lasted only a second before the light reappeared.
Only this time it was no longer a natural light, but a curtain of light descending from the roof.
In the light curtain, a meandering stream flows through the air, fish flow through the stream, flocks of birds sing merrily, and on the other side of the stream, there seems to be a meadow of flowers that stretches to an endless end.
In the distance, three people, two tall and one short, were holding up their sketchpads on the meadow, depicting the scenery against the mountains and verdant forests in the distance.
With a flash of light, Hall's figure appeared next to the stream.
I saw that he only hesitated for a moment, and then he crossed the stream and headed towards the three of them.
β¦β¦
In the light curtain, Hall's eyes were closed, his consciousness had been fully integrated with the brain control device, and he had entered the dreamlike grass like a dream.
But he remained awake, and he knew that this was just the side of the promised land.
And these three people are just three of the ancestors who lived in the Promised Land - it seems that they should be a family of three.
Hall's movement inevitably disturbed the three of them, and when they all looked back at him, the adult male smiled gently at Hall and beckoned to him, "Hall, how about you come and take a look at this painting?" β
Hall took a deep breath, he had no doubt that the ancestor would know his name and recognize him.
Approaching, he stared at the realistic picture.
This painting ...... The restoration is so perfect.
Even Hall felt that if he covered his eyes from the painting, he must have thought that what was on the painting was what he really saw.
"It's beautiful." Hall replied honestly.
"Haha, thanks for the compliment." The adult man smiled proudly at the woman next to him: "Look, I just said that aesthetics can transcend time, right?" β
"You're going to be proud!" The woman pretended to look at him with disgust, and then took the hand of the little boy next to her: "You have guests, Tong Tong and I won't accompany you." β
"Okay, but don't touch the ingredients, say I'll cook tonight."
"Of course!" After the woman finished speaking, she took the little boy and took a step forward.
And then...... She and the little boy disappeared into the grass.
Hall knows though...... This is probably an illusion of my own consciousness...... But it was so real that Hale was still deeply shocked.
This is the world of Promised Land......
Perhaps reading Hall's heart, the man just smiled slightly: "Hall, what do you want to ask?" β
"I ......" Hale pursed his lips, the tangle on his face flashing away.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Bo Saiya. You don't need to hesitate or hesitate what to call meβthough I'm gone for tens of thousands of years in your time. β
"And you don't have to worry that I won't be able to give you an answer." Perseya looked at Hall gently and smiled, "Unless you come to ask me if you and Liana will eventually get married, then I don't know." A woman's mind, even ten trillion intelligent brains, can't simulate her true thoughts. β
This joke, which was not a joke, made Hall instantly relaxed, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly: "Mr. Bosaia, do you know about humans?" It is the civilization located in the 31928 galaxy. β
"You know, you've reported the data before. But I'm sure your question isn't this, but rather you want to ask me, did you know there was such a species in 31928 before, right? β
Hall nodded immediately.
"According to your time coordinates, it was 12831 years ago, and our exploration ship once arrived in the 31928 galaxy, which is an isolated galaxy with only one jump point, and our generation called it the Kaka Angle Galaxy." "Yes, we once found a rocky planet full of life in the habitable zone of the galaxy, and we also found ape-like intelligent beings on it, but their civilization level ...... It is still in an extremely backward stage, basically the period of using natural tools, which is too primitive to be more primitive. β
Hall inhaled softly: "But now they ...... It has acquired extremely advanced technology, moved towards the era of space exploration, and even mastered the threat ...... The technology of the entire Divine Civilization and even the Promised Land! β
Bai Saiya nodded slightly: "You mean that they have mastered over-distance communication, artificial jumps, right?" β
"Not only that, but they have also mastered the ability to deliver matter to the high-dimensional space!"
Bai Saiya frowned slightly when he heard this: "How did they achieve it?" β
"They are...... A crack to the high-dimensional space was constructed. β
"That should be through the high-dimensional matter, using the spatial regression of the high-dimensional matter to bring the matter in contact with the space into the space-time of its own dimension." Bai Saiya almost did not hesitate or hesitate: "This technology has also been mastered by the empire, but it has not been promoted and used on a large scale. β
Hale exhaled slowly, his brow furrowed.
Bai Saiya stared at him, "Still have questions?" β
"Yes." Hall's eyes flashed, and he quickly said: "Humans also have super computing power and signal coordination ability - our fleet can't beat them, mainly because their collective attacks are too fast, and their analysis and prediction capabilities are too strong. β
"Oh? Does a collective attack refer to an attack by several warships working together? β
"Yes."
"It's easy to explain." Bai Saiya's expression remained unchanged, and he still said with a smile: "Mathematical formulas, operational models, communication delays, as long as they fit to a certain extent, you can easily complete such behaviors." β
"But......" Hall took a few quick breaths and said in a deep voice, "but they don't have brains!" β
"It is also possible to use binary electromagnetic computing systems, which does not require too complex technology." Still smiling, Perseya replied, "The Brain is just a collection of thoughts at the end of the calculation. β
"But their ......," Hale said, suddenly shutting down.
Because he didn't know how to describe it.
Bo Saiya looked at him with a smile and gave him an encouraging look.
In silence, Hall whispered, "Can they have a way to make the mechanical binary electromagnetic system produce a concentrated mind similar to that of the brain?" β
"No, you can't."
Without any hesitation, Bo Seya gave Hale the answer.
"Why?"
"Because the electromagnetic computing system is essentially the switch of the circuit, it is addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and it is a mechanical operation, and it is impossible for a machine to give birth to thinking."
Hall was silent again.
"Still have questions? Hall. Perseya asked gently, without the slightest impatience on his face.
"Yes."
"What's the doubt?"
"The technological leap time of mankind is only a short hundred years." Hall looked at the all-knowing ancestorβhe probably knew that this man named Perseya was in fact the embodiment of the whole Promised Land.
Or to be precise, every ancestor who enters the Promised Land can become the embodiment of the Promised Land, possessing endless wisdom and knowledge.
"It only took them a hundred years to go from mastering atomic energy technology to having a power comparable to that of our fleet, how did they manage it?"
With Hall's question, Bo Seya was rarely lost in thought, but soon, he slowly shook his head.
"There are too many factors in the evolution of civilization, even if we can't simulate the trajectory of a civilization."
Hall lowered his eyes, and in silence, he slowly shook his head.
"I'm fine."
"Have fun, Hall." Bo Seya waved his hand at him, then turned and walked into the void.
β¦β¦
The light dissipated, and Hall slowly opened his eyes.
He was silent in his chair for a few seconds before removing the brain terminal and looking at the glass wall.
Outside the glass wall, both prophets stared at him at the same time.
After a few seconds, Hale pursed his lips slightly, his gaze falling on Prophet Klin's face.
"Teacher Klin, do you already know that the ancestors of the Promised Land...... They have been 'dead' for a long time. β
Prophet Kling frowned deeply, and then glanced at Dean Dore, he didn't say anything, just beckoned to Hall, and motioned for Hall to come out quickly.
Hale didn't get up, but still stared at the two prophets.
"The ancestors of the Promised Land did die 10,000 years ago, right?"
