Chapter 372 Cruelty and Kindness, Dimensional Artist
Looking at the miserable scene in the picture of the ancient earth human beings who either worked hard or exercised all day long, almost no entertainment time existed, and even family and love were completely lost, Mu Cang shook his head slightly:
"People are not machines, they don't go to sleep when they finish work, they work when they wake up, they need entertainment and emotional release.
is like many cattle and horses on Blue Star, after they come home late from overtime, they should go to bed early to relieve fatigue, but they will still stay up late to play games and watch small videos almost with a revenge.
These are signs that the body and soul are saving themselves, and if they don't, they will collapse.
Hmm, so this Holy Emperor is acting too much for quick success, a little too much. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Cang thought of the terrible situation faced by the ancient human beings, as well as the hungry god clan that would eventually appear, and he somewhat understood what the Holy Emperor was doing.
"Even if you can't know the specific identity and strength level of the enemy, with the Holy Emperor's innate extremely strong foreknowledge and spiritual ......"
Mu Cang groaned, "He must feel the whole starry sky above his head all the time...... It's all full of deep malice.
If you think about it like this...... It's quite a cool behavior, but it makes sense. ”
At this time, Mu Cang suddenly thought of a game he had played in his previous life - "Frostpunk Age".
The game's plot is set in the apocalyptic phase after the global temperature plummets.
In that apocalypse, humanity was on the verge of extinction.
Players take on the role of a mayor who will manage the world's last city.
In the game, players have to manage the many survivors of the city and various infrastructures.
Different decisions and strategies will be adopted to ensure that cities can survive longer in the face of deteriorating environment and resources.
But interestingly, the survivors living in this extremely harsh environment do not seem to be aware enough.
They will be dissatisfied if they work too much overtime, they will be dissatisfied if they drink too much porridge, they will still be dissatisfied if the hospital beds are too crowded, and even if the heating is not warm enough, they will be dissatisfied with the air blowing up lung tubes.
At the same time, once the discontent level is too high, the player who is the mayor will be brutally exiled to the outside of the city by all the survivors, freezing and starving to death.
Often, a survivor will jump out and say, "I know you're dying, but I'm so happy to see you (the player) step down before I die!" ”
All in all, if the player can't serve the survivors comfortably, they'd rather break the can and die together.
This is somewhat similar to the situation faced by ancient humans.
The difference is that the Holy Emperor is strong enough that no one can exile him, or bring him down.
At the same time, the ancient Westem civilization still has a relatively long time, and there is still a lot of room for turnaround.
But this kind of room for maneuver may also be an illusion, because once any hungry god suddenly descends on the galaxy where the ancient earth is located, then the ancient human civilization will quickly collapse.
And the timing of this coming...... is unknown.
Therefore, the Holy Emperor, who had a premonition of this terrible doom, issued many harsh decrees, and made the decision to build ancient mankind into a dystopian totalitarian state with the coldest heart.
"So, this brings us to the fact that humanity and freedom are certainly precious, but they are ...... on the scale of values."
Mu Cang said to himself, "Is it more important than the continuation of species and civilizations?" ”
The answer is self-explanatory.
If species and civilizations are completely extinct, these so-called freedoms and humanity ...... What's the point?
Isn't even the meaning of all this itself defined by intelligent beings?
If people are gone, then is there still a place for freedom and humanity?
Of course, there must have been many individuals among ancient human beings who admired and valued humanity and freedom.
These individuals are very similar to the many Europa whites that have ever existed on the Blue Star.
They all have a roughly identical Madonna complex.
This complex can be traced back to the root of the ...... Imagine yourself as the kindest helper, imagine yourself to be able to keep an eternal eye on all those present, and then discipline them to achieve eternal goodness.
It's a ...... The ultimate arrogance.
Regarding this complex, Mu Cang said that he was noncommittal.
At the same time, looking at the ancient earth that launched the Great Expedition of the Star Sea in the historical picture, Mu Cang also had a guess in his heart about why the Holy Emperor forcibly deprived ancient humans of their reproductive rights.
"Perhaps...... It is to avoid the universe's 'setting' for intelligent civilization, a certain filtering mechanism - evolutionary concave. ”
The so-called evolutionary pit can also be called the abrupt load limit.
Generally speaking, once a sapient group reaches the top of the planet's food chain, natural selection gradually goes offline.
But this will bring about an extremely terrible consequence.
i.e., contamination of the gene pool of the population.
Why is this so?
Very simple.
In an ethnic group, under normal circumstances, individuals who are born with disabilities, congenital frailty, carry recessive diseases, carry various harmful mutations, and are not qualified to pass on their offspring or even cannot survive normally, their genes have no chance to enter the gene pool of the group, and they will be eliminated by natural selection as a matter of course.
However, with the development of civilization, the survival ability of intelligent groups is getting stronger and stronger, and the living environment is getting better and better.
So all the individuals who should not have left offspring...... Most of them will leave offspring.
In this way, the genetic pool of the population naturally becomes a shelter for a large number of harmful mutations.
But the volume and shelf life of the shelter ...... There is a time limit.
What happens if a civilization's technological capabilities have not developed enough to set foot in the interstellar age, especially in the ancient times when the spiritual realm has not yet appeared...... No one knows.
In short, it won't be a good thing.
There is a high probability that civilization will be directly extinct under the dual action of bad internal and bad external factors.
"But it's optimization, and in a sense, ......"
Mu Cang muttered quietly, "The essence of the thousand-year optimization plan implemented by the Holy Emperor of Westham on the ancient humans is ...... It should be called potential mining. ”
As for where the potential of ancient humans came from, you have to ask the hungry god Westtham.
Thousands of years ago, the group of hungry gods led by him used various methods to play with the ancient earth civilization for hundreds of millions of years, bringing endless suffering to ancient humans at the same time, but also leaving a terrifying number of wounds in their genes and soul structure.
Mu Cang believes that these shocking wounds, or 'traces', are actually the source of the potential of ancient humans.
If you want to make an analogy, then you can use the evolutionary history of the Blue Star human as an example.
According to Mu Cang's research a long time ago, he found that the Blue Star human being he was born from, although the ancestral origin belonged to the by-product of the various influences on the natural world of Blue Star when Aknussim created the Aurora Clan.
But in the countless long years that followed, the real core driving force of the evolution of the human race in Bluestar actually came from the many viruses that existed in nature.
When he was still in Blue Star, Mu Cang found that since the separation of humans and apes, at least 30% of the changes in the structure and composition of proteins synthesized in Blue Star humans were caused by viruses.
Driven by his curiosity, he embarked on a series of extremely detailed studies of the human genome.
Then Mu Cang discovered that there were thousands of gene fragments left by the invasion of ancient retroviruses in the genome of the Blue Star humans.
The total number of these fragments accounts for 8 percent of the 2.9 billion base pairs of human dNA structure.
Don't underestimate this number.
After Mu Cang's research, it was these eight percent of the gene fragments that dominated and shaped many physiological functions that are extremely important to human beings, or many potential abilities.
For example, part of the memory function of the human brain, the size of the heart in the human chest, the development and activation of the embryo in the purple uterus of the human woman, the production and operation of human stem cells, the production and function of the placenta of the purple uterus, the activation and shutdown of the human immune system, etc., and even many physical superpowers, are closely related to many endogenous retroviral coding.
Therefore, it is likely that a large number of genetic traits that have been passed down by humans in various historical stages and in various ancestral species are the result of long-term random mutations in endogenous retroviral genes.
Among these 'results', some will become the normal physiological functions that humans will take for granted in later generations, and some will be hidden in the human genome and become the source of the existence and operation of many superpowers.
In a large number of subsequent studies, Mu Cang also found that many viral fragments in the human genome are likely to be caused by dozens of infections.
And this kind of virus infecting the distant ancestors of all human beings may have happened hundreds or thousands of times in the long evolutionary history of mankind.
Therefore, if we look at it from a more macro level, then it can be said that the entire evolutionary history of human beings actually has a large number of signs of being shaped by a large number of viruses.
These signs, or the 'traces' left by the virus invasion, are the potential of the Blue Star Humans.
However, the ancient humans, who seemed to be the same in appearance as the Blue Star humans, had a very different core driving force for their evolution.
shaped them and gave them the power to have unmatched potential...... Apparently from the Hungry Gods, from the various transformations that Vestham has been going on for hundreds of millions of years.
Even Mu Cang speculated that the essential reason why the Holy Emperor was able to evolve to the transcendent level so quickly, and even to the overlord level, was that he had fully developed the majestic potential he possessed.
"However, the subsequent progress of the Holy Emperor should be out of the so-called concepts of transformation, genes, bloodline, etc., because the real peerless powerhouse ...... It has never been about the so-called genes and ancestry. (See Chapter 88 for the reason.)
Mu Cang smiled leisurely, "The real strong have their own unique reason, and the strong will definitely believe in their own reason, whether this reason is crooked, good or evil, black or white."
All theories are cognition, cognition is composed of three elements: concept, logic, and standards, and words such as language and writing will always only be the label of concepts.
As long as you believe in your own reasoning, believe in your own cognition, and successfully verify that cognition, then you will have strong confidence.
The so-called faith is further faith, and if you go deep into it and sublimate it, you will condense a belief.
This faith will bring out great potential, give birth to a fearless mindset, and under the influence of both, the spirit will gradually change and the strength will gradually increase. ”
After thinking about it, Mu Cang quickly flipped through the historical picture.
After satisfying a certain amount of curiosity, he had already stepped into the super galaxy group combat power level, and he completely lost interest in the Holy Emperor's next interstellar war history, and he didn't bother to take a closer look.
It is nothing more than sweeping the starry sky and exterminating many alien races everywhere.
Mu Cang has done a lot of this kind of thing, so there is nothing to see.
He wanted to find a way, or a route, to get to the ancestral land of Westem.
In fact, after completely devouring all the memories of the six clans of the Silver Heart, and there was still a large amount of information about the galaxy races with the spirit realm, Mu Cang had completely cracked the legend of the god trial that was circulated among civilizations in the old galactic period.
At the root of this legend is a misunderstanding caused by the accumulation of years, and it is a misreading that can be called a great fallacy.
For the keys to order that have been circulating around are essentially fragments of some kind of 'portal' that Aknussem used when he returned to the ancestral land of Westum across countless billions of light-years.
The fragments continued to shatter again...... It is the Vortex of Order, the core of Abraham's machinery treasured by the Flesh and Blood Esoteric Cult on the Blue Star.
And the reason why Mu Cang wanted to find the ancestral land of Westham was to obtain the possible probabilistic interference technology in it, that is, the wish of the gods recognized by the galactic civilizations.
As for why these civilizations know this...... Mu Cang actually didn't find a clear answer.
He only guessed that it might be that during the many thousands of years that Aknussem stayed in the galaxy, he had some shallow exchanges with the first ancestors of many intelligent civilizations.
In this exchange, perhaps he leaked some information about his ancestral land.
After all, those first ancestors are also the children of Aknusem.
Of course, all of the above are Mu Cang's guesses, and they are not accurate.
"It is obviously impossible to ascend to the sixth dimension by absorbing the spirituality of all beings."
Mu Cang quietly 'stared' at the ascending scale in the wisdom universe that was still at 0% progress, "So what do you have to do to ascend to the sixth dimension?" So that probability-to-interference technique...... Maybe it can help me find out. ”
With this thought in mind, he continued to walk through the vast universe.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Mu Cang suddenly fixed his body and changed his perspective to the place where the Fantasy Domain clone was.
The depths of the fantasy realm from infinity to a distance.
In a chaotic dark area.
Mu Cang (clone) took a diamond object similar to an invitation from Jason, who was kneeling respectfully in front of him.
I saw that this diamond invitation card was engraved with the following words:
"Hello, welcome to the brilliant game of the great dimensional artist Mr. COO-
Yes/No to Participate'
