Chapter 70: Sandbox Space

"Virtual universe?" Lin Li was stunned.

The pursuit of the Buddha turned out to be a virtual world?

If you can't find the way of reality, then give up, then turn back.

Even the development of the network technology of the earth civilization to a certain extent has begun to envision the upload of consciousness, let alone extraterrestrial civilizations.

As long as the technology is high enough, it is entirely possible to create a virtual world that has little to no difference from reality.

Huang Ji said: "Seeking the Tao is the way of our cosmic reality, but the Buddha descends into one dimension and seeks the supreme with emptiness. ”

"To put it bluntly, living in your own world and controlling the 'rules' that are already one level lower than yourself. ”

"Therefore, the Buddha has a country in his palm, a thousand worlds, and there is no end. ”

The kingdom of the Buddha is the Pure Land of Bliss, which means the realm opened up by the enlightened ones.

This is the virtual world, everything you want to do can be easily achieved, and it is naturally bliss!

The only downside is that the ceiling on progress is sealed.

Everything that happens inside is either purely virtual or the result of a simulation based on the knowledge of the creator.

The knowledge of the creator comes from the real universe, so no matter how the creator studies it in the virtual universe, it is impossible to contribute to the progress of this civilization in the real universe.

Huang Ji sighed: "Taoism talks about detachment, detachment upward. ”

"Buddhism talks about enlightenment, and turning back is the shore...... If you can't go up, you won't go, and you will be detached from ...... down."

Tao and Buddhism are two cultural currents of thought, opposite and unified.

One stands in the perspective of the universe, recognizes the highest realm, and then sets an ideal goal.

From the perspective of living beings, one realized that manpower was poor, and then gave a realistic plan.

Most of the civilizations in the universe are seekers, but if there are seekers, there will naturally be those who give up halfway.

There is no shortage of salted fish anywhere...... Willing to explore the unknown in the endless sea of suffering, and move forward with heavy burdens, it takes unremitting perseverance and great courage.

"There's a virtual sandbox game universe in the palm of your hand, a thousand worlds, and you can create it at will, isn't it blissful?" Lin Li immediately understood.

Just imagining it, he can't help but feel that reality is simply a sea of suffering!

Lin Li sighed: "You want me to choose...... I will choose the Buddha ......."

Huang Ji nodded and said, "So the Buddha must also be a very popular trend of thought in the universe, and it cannot be said that it is wrong, because the ultimate goal of the Tao has neither been proven nor falsified." ”

"Therefore, logically, if there is a trend of thought premised on 'the Tao can be achieved', there must be a cultural trend of thought based on the premise of 'the Tao cannot be achieved'. ”

"On the question of whether a certain super-civilization can control the rules of 'the universe', complete the proof, or falsify. Then the Buddha and the Tao will distinguish between right and wrong. ”

Lin Li said: "This question, I'm afraid that no civilization in the universe can prove or falsify it, right?"

Huang Ji glanced at him and didn't speak.

Just now, he had already used his information perception to get a definite answer: yes.

The laws of nature can be changed and created.

The universe is allowed to appear in the rules of the editor, that is, the so-called God can be had.

The road this way, the message makes it clear, it is right.

The path of Buddha is wrong from the premise, and can only be regarded as an entertainment choice, not as the direction of development of a civilization.

If a civilization takes the creation of a real, but a lower level of reality, as a direction of effort, then it will go far......

Of course, you have to keep going down to detachment, it's not impossible, what is love, who cares about this?

"Big brother, you said this is a Buddha finger bone, but it's metal......" Lin Li said.

Huang Ji said: "The alien told Gautama that if he spread the Buddha's thoughts, he would naturally give benefits, and the benefits would be 'You should be a Buddha in the next life.'" Gautama lived a lifetime, and then died in front of his disciples, and he attained nirvana. This is the completion of his task in this life, and the so-called 'afterlife' is that after Nirvana, the consciousness is uploaded to the server and enters the mechanical body, so the metal mechanical body is called the 'Buddha bone'. ”

"From that moment on, the mortal Gautama died and became the world-honored of the earthlings. This is the invasion of a certain Buddhist civilization into the culture of the earth, and the Lord is probably responsible for guiding the believer's consciousness into the Elysian World after the death of the believer. ”

"I think it can be directly understood as ...... Recruiting members...... And the Buddha is the administrator, and the World-Honored One is just a category of administrator, which is about an administrator set up specifically for primitive civilizations. ”

Hearing this, Lin Li was a little surprised: "As long as you believe in Buddhism, you can really enter the virtual world?"

Huang Ji looked at him funny, pointed to the fingers on the table and said, "Oh, that's all you have left for your Buddha......"

"......" Lin Li looked at his fingers and said, "The Buddha has been killed?"

Huang Ji said: "In the past, there was really a Buddha on the earth, a 'King Kong Body', but it should not have been long before it was destroyed by other aliens...... This finger is probably just a remnant of what was left behind. ”

Although he said it in a speculative way, he was actually very sure that Shakyamuni's mechanical body was directly shattered by a pillar of light falling from the sky......

Pillars of light emanated from the moon and directly vaporized most of Shakyamuni's body, with only a few fragments remaining.

This Buddha finger bone is one of the fragments.

Huang Ji sighed secretly: It's still the moon, that's the main civilization that really captivates the earth. A certain Buddhist civilization probably just wanted to fight the autumn wind, and it may not have been discovered at first, but then it was discovered, and it was directly eliminated.

If you think about it carefully, it is possible that Gautama has been used, and the real purpose of the Buddhist aliens may just be to collect some consciousness and 'high-level intelligence' NPCs, or even just a temptation.

What World-Honored One, what allows you to become a Buddha, that's all a lie. Although it was really given, and it was given to Gautama in advance, but after Gautama became a Buddha and entered the body of Vajra, he did not have a long time of 'eternal life' before he was killed.

This kind of thing, the Buddhist aliens who secretly fooled Gautama, would not know?

In between, there is a possibility of an upper-level game between groups of alien civilizations, and Gautama is just a pawn of an earthling.

Huang Ji knew through the Buddha's finger bones that in the few years that Gautama controlled the mechanical body, he had gained a large amount of earthling's consciousness, and all of them were transmitted through gravitational waves, and these consciousnesses were actually very precious.

True wisdom cannot be replicated, and although thinking is an electrochemical reaction, it is not limited to that.

The same electrochemical reactions are simulated through technology, but there is no wisdom and self-thought.

The virtual world can simulate that kind of electrochemical reaction, think in terms of data, but it is still just 'hardware', and there is always something lacking in trying to simulate the same intelligence as reality.

What is missing, even aliens don't know what it is, it is provided by nature's evolutionary life.

If you want to make it, you can, directly in the real universe, you can do it through biochemical technology, or robotics, but in the virtual world, you can't make it.

In the virtual world, depending on the technology and computing resources, it is possible to generate low-level AI, high-level AI, and load real NPCs.

The loaded real NPC is just a medium, and the memory and body can be generated technologically, and what memory and what race template are generated, then he is what he is.

This is the virtual universe, the advanced service provider.

Otherwise, where does it come to be that 'everything you want to do can be easily done'?

Some people cheer and some people cry, and the so-called world of bliss for everyone still exists to be entertained.

"The Tao system eats people, the Buddha system refines the soul, and the universe is too dark. Huang Ji sighed in his heart.

Lin Li looked at the Buddha's finger bones and said, "Can this still be used?" You were in a coma just now, could it be that you entered the virtual world?"

Huang Ji nodded and said: "This thing has a very high technical content, just one finger, there is also a micro server, and the energy is still sufficient." ”

"I just tried, but I can't connect to the Internet, and the virtual world is empty, the database is also damaged, there is nothing, it's just a stand-alone sandbox, or a blank map. ”

"You log in and take a look. ”

Lin Li said excitedly: "Can I also go in and have a look?"

He tried his best, but he couldn't do it.

Huang Ji said: "It can take the initiative to pull your consciousness in, read it to me, and sing more songs from beginning to end......"

He said the mantra-like words again, and Lin Li was shocked: "Is this a technological product, or a magic weapon?"

Huang Ji smiled: "Isn't it normal to need a password to control technology products and a password to log in to the game......?"

"What I just said is a password to apply for login, and you must visualize a three-dimensional image at the same time, which is the password. Only when two of them are done at the same time will this Buddha bone react and load your consciousness into it. ”

"This is just a sneak login, that is, there is no way to give up the body, and there is a range limit, you carried me into the elevator at that time, and I automatically dropped the line...... I guess there is an exchange force field around the machine, and the brain and the machine can communicate within the force field, and the consciousness no longer controls the body, but exchanges information with the machine, and controls the virtual characters loaded into the server. ”

"Because the brain loses self-control, it's like going into sleep, leaving only the subconscious mind running the body. ”

Lin Li nodded, the technology is strong to a certain extent, like a myth.

He silently memorized the password, and when he was sure he remembered it, he asked, "Is this a Sanskrit word?"

Huang Ji said: "Part Sanskrit, part alien language. Like the beginning and the end, the kua, these are not Sanskrit. ”

"I had an adventure, I read a sutra, and it was recorded in the sutra that Shakyamuni once said, which translates to 'Knowledge can be taught, but wisdom cannot.'" People can find wisdom, embody wisdom in life, strengthen themselves with wisdom, and create miracles with wisdom, but people cannot impart wisdom'. ”

"Accompanying this is a picture of a man sitting cross-legged, with a tree-like figure behind him. Actually, it's a sketch of the scene of Shakyamuni's epiphany, I didn't know what this mantra and picture were for, but today I got this Buddha finger bone, I tried chanting and visualizing, and I logged in, and then I knew that it was Shakyamuni's account......"

Huang Ji has no doubt that he is talking nonsense......

He just found the password and password directly when he sensed the Buddha's bones.

Huang Ji said while drawing the Shizun Epiphany Diagram, so that Lin Li memorized by rote, he couldn't be wrong at all, every proportion was accurate, and he couldn't log in if he was wrong.

Lin Li closed his eyes and began to visualize the picture, while reciting words in his mouth.

After trying several times, he got his visualization wrong, and there was no movement, as if he was just meditating.

After dozens of attempts, it was finally connected.

Everything is like a dream, and the consciousness goes directly into another world.

It was dark all around, except for a warehouse not far away, and the warehouse was lit up.

"Let's go, that warehouse was built by me before, and half of it was pulled out of the range by you and dropped out. After brushing it, Huang Ji also came in, right next to Lin Li.

Lin Li looked at Huang Ji's image as the same as in reality, but it was just a phantom, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this Shakyamuni's number?

Huang Ji said: "This account allows many people to log in at the same time, and the same account comes in, and different people have different permissions. ”

"Shakyamuni attained nirvana after his death, which is tantamount to giving up the human body and choosing to live forever in consciousness. So he himself is an account, the essence of the Shakyamuni. ”

"The login carried out by his own consciousness is undoubtedly the real authority of this account, and we belong to the vassal account under the same account, which occupies the data resources of Shakyamuni. ”

Lin Li asked, "How big is this world?"

"About 600 billion cubic meters. Huang Ji said.

"So big?" Lin Li had no idea about the number.

Huang Ji said: "It's actually very small, this is just a 'private stand-alone space' of Sakyamuni, which is equivalent to ...... Your Penguin space log. ”

"600 billion cubic meters, equivalent to the volume of 21 to 22 Poyang lakes. It can only be regarded as a micro-world, and in an alien civilization, any ordinary user may have at least one such personal space. This kind of space, for the Shakyamuni of the past, is as much as the sand of the Ganges. ”

Lin Li, thought for a while, imagined for a while, and suddenly created a sports car in front of him!

"Damn! All wishes come true! It's so real!"

Lin Li looked like he was touching it, and it felt like the real thing, but when he got into the sports car, he found that he couldn't start it at all.

Huang Ji directly opened the car, only to see that it was empty.

He smiled and said, "Your sports car, you don't need an engine, you can drive it with just a shell?"

Lin Li smiled awkwardly and said, "I just thought about the appearance, and I decided that it was all going to be designed, okay?"

Huang Ji said: "This is a virtual small world in reality mode, it does not have fantasy functions, so it is very hardcore. ”

"The database is damaged, we have to fill it ourselves, I have already built the warehouse before, and I have also saved the relevant base metals and building materials, otherwise you can't even make the car shell......"

"Anyway, we had to be detailed, just like building a car. ”

"You don't have to think about microscopic places, because there's no quantum mechanics in this server. The basic unit is the atom, you don't have to think about what's in the atom, it's just a 'pixel', it's just a 'basic block'. ”

Thankfully, this basic setting is undamaged, with a total of 115 elements and 330 atoms. ”

"The whole sandbox space, you can understand as 'Minecraft' at the atomic cube level. ”
