Chapter Seventy-Three: Spirit Immortality

"You're here?" Grandpa Xiao Yuanzheng asked with relief.

"Isn't this in my dream?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised, his grandfather entered his dream, why did he ask him like this.

Xiao Yuanzheng suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yao was a little annoyed.

"I said you've come to the Secret Place, too." Xiao Yuanzheng explained.

"Why can't I come?" Xiao Yao asked.

Xiao Yuanzheng didn't answer him, but said, "This is not your dream, this is another space in the Mysterious Land." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

"Let's call it a dream for the time being! Here you can remember everything in reality, but in reality, you can't remember your dreams, am I right? Xiao Yuanzheng continued to sell Guanzi.

"Why is this happening?" Xiao Yao asked suspiciously.

Xiao Yuanzheng smiled and said: "You can understand it as two spaces, and the space in the dream has a higher dimension, everything here will gradually be reflected into reality, but it will be very slow, and some people may take decades." ”

Xiao Yao thought for a moment and asked, "What would happen if I could recall everything in the high-dimensional dream space?" ”

"If you look at other people, you'll be like you look at the worms on the ground now." Xiao Yuanzheng nodded.

Of course, Xiao Yao didn't believe it, and he shook his head suspiciously.

He no longer tried to pursue the question, but diverted the topic and asked another question that he wanted to know the most: "Do you know how my dad and my mom died?" ”

After speaking, he stared closely into his grandfather's eyes, and he once suspected that his grandfather was behind it.

"Accident." Xiao Yuanzheng said without hesitation, his eyes were unwavering, at least Xiao Yao didn't see the slightest change in his expression.

"I don't believe it."

Xiao Yuanzheng seemed to be more than ten years old suddenly, sighed and said, "Don't check it again, it's your father's own choice." ”

"Suicide?" Xiao Yao didn't believe it.

"Sort of! If he didn't want to die, no one could kill him. Xiao Yuanzheng nodded with difficulty.

"I want the truth." Xiao Yao's heart was very heavy, and it sank terribly.

Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head expressionlessly.

"Why can't you tell me?" Xiao Yao was a little anxious.

Xiao Yuanzheng waved his hand to Xiao Yao, letting him get closer.

Xiao Yao didn't know why, so he walked over obediently.

Xiao Yuanzheng pressed his hand on Xiao Yao's forehead, and a vague red light entered his brain and disappeared.

"What is this?" Xiao Yao felt as if there was something more in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything when he recalled it.

"I have given you the ability to recall everything in your dreams as soon as possible, and one day you will understand the choice of your dad and your mom." Xiao Yuanzheng stared at Xiao Yao with a little doting.

Xiao Yao hadn't seen his grandfather's eyes like this for many years, and he was a little distracted for a while.

"I always like to play tricks, don't you just tell me that you can't?" Xiao Yao shouted dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head without hesitation and said, "If you tell you now, you can't understand it, and I will tell you when you can understand." ”

"You died in the original world, you know?" Xiao Yao knew that the decision made by the stubborn grandfather was difficult to change, so he changed the topic again.

"Yes."

This time it was Xiao Yao's turn to be unexpected, grandpa was in a mysterious place, how did he know that he was dead in the original world?

Xiao Yuanzheng said with a smile: "My spirit can live forever in this world, and I can get the information of the original world at any time, what does it matter if the body in the original world dies?" ”

Xiao Yao shook his head, he didn't expect his grandfather to have any concept of spiritual immortality, and tentatively asked another question: "Ask another question, what is the project you are hiding in the Institute of Genetics?" ”

Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "There is no essential mistake in the direction you set. ”

"Do you know the direction I've set?" Xiao Yao was even more surprised, the direction he set at the beginning was that he only told Song Huan, but Song Huan didn't come to the secret place at all, how could he pass the information in? Does grandpa know everything?

"Genetic engineering and extraterrestrial life! There should be a bias in genetic engineering, that is, the evolution of genes, carefully digging into the hidden secrets in genes, and understanding the whole process of human beings from single-celled organisms to complex mammals, you will find many unexpected secrets. Xiao Yuanzheng said.

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't let Song Huan take a detour, he nodded, and asked again: "Where did that alien in the tunnel in your small courtyard come from?" ”

"Hahaha! He's not an alien. Xiao Yuanzheng laughed.

"Not aliens? Then he looks too weird. Xiao Yao didn't believe it.

"If you study his genes, and then you study the genes of humans, we are related." Xiao Yuanzheng prompted.

"Prehistoric humans?" Xiao Yao's eyes widened and he guessed.

Xiao Yuanzheng no longer sold Guanzi, but nodded directly.

Xiao Yao felt that his heartbeat skipped a beat, and then he beat wildly, human beings have been looking for traces of prehistoric civilization, but there has been no conclusive evidence, is there a living prehistoric person hidden in his small courtyard?

This made Xiao Yao unable to accept such a fact for a while.

"How did you catch him?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"He took the initiative to cooperate with me, naively thinking that he could control the entire Xiao family by controlling me, but unfortunately he failed." Xiao Yuanzheng's face was full of confidence.

"Are there many prehistoric humans alive today?" Xiao Yao asked.

"There are very few people alive in their original physical form, but their consciousness is still active in modern people." Xiao Yuanzheng said worriedly.

"Is there anything to worry about?"

Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head and said, "Those people may be the best among modern people, and they themselves may not know that many of their concepts, opinions, and even worldviews have been influenced by prehistoric humans. ”

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, remembered another very important question, grinded his teeth and asked, "Why don't you let Song Huan marry me?" ”

"When you study genetic engineering thoroughly, when you finish studying her genes, you will understand." Xiao Yuanzheng said helplessly.

"Don't tell me she's my sister, I don't believe in this kind of bloody plot." Xiao Yao's eyes widened.

Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head and said, "Didn't your little friend of artificial intelligence create a fantasy world?" You can let her simulate it in the fantasy world, see what you and Song Huan's descendants will look like, and then decide whether to let her marry you. ”

"How do you know Miao Yu?" Xiao Yao held his breath, he remembered that his grandfather didn't like artificial intelligence.

"There's so much more I know, more than you can imagine." Xiao Yuanzheng said very conceitedly.

"I heard that you are very resistant to artificial intelligence, why?" Xiao Yao remembered that the third uncle specifically told him that he would not be allowed to invest in artificial intelligence.

Xiao Yuanzheng sighed and said: "We have deduced many scientific and technological evolution routes, and found that artificial intelligence on each technological route has the risk of getting out of control in the end. ”

Xiao Yao held his breath, theoretically, artificial intelligence does have a risk of getting out of control, and if artificial intelligence regards itself as a god, it will be a disaster for mankind.

Xiao Yuanzheng continued: "I know that it is impossible to limit AI, and I just want to delay the development of AI as much as possible, so that we can have more ways to deal with AI. ”

Xiao Yao thought for a while and retorted: "A person has not made a mistake yet, we can't assume that he is likely to make a mistake and arrest him." ”

Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head, noncommittal.
