I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 510 508. Managedon
The floating warehouse swept across the bustling city, and slowly approached the side of a tall building in the city center. After the floating warehouse approached, the seemingly flat walls on the side of the building began to push out, revealing the complex and delicate interior. Its mechanical structure quickly turned into a platform capable of stopping seven or eight floating containers.

The door pushed open by the floating cabin also quickly began to deform, the exposed mechanical structure was directly connected to the platform, and then directly turned into steps for the passengers in the cabin to walk down.

Man followed Zasna down, looking at the mechanical platform that transformed in just a few seconds:
"It seems that your civilization prefers the kind of technology we are familiar with to magic."

The various buildings in this entire city do look like more advanced modern buildings, rather than some ancient magical creations that modern people cannot understand, and whether it is urban planning, or the means of transportation and passages everywhere, they are all special. close to what a modern city looks like.

Zasna said:
"The magic you are talking about should refer to the technology system invented and mastered by the Gurama Empire. After the destruction of the Gurama Empire, it will be more difficult to use that technology, so although their technology is better than ours More advanced, but in fact, our use of magic is not much different from Titan technology.

"After all, Titan technology is what we really master, but in fact, if you can go back to the Titan era before the break with the gods, you will also see that we used far more magic technology than this city.

"Actually, you don't see many traces of magic here, mainly because our flesh and blood Titans and mechanical Titans are not particularly good at things like magic, but we actually use Guramar magic, but most of the time we are Use it to make up for areas where some Titan technology cannot.

"After all, we have to admit that the ancient empire is far more powerful than our civilization, and we still can't understand the principles of many of their magic, and we can't accommodate them in our own knowledge system.

"So many things that magic can do are like miracles to us. For example, they actually mastered the method of resurrecting people who have not been dead for a long time. This seems to us to be almost a miracle, but in ancient times This is not even considered a particularly great spell in the Rama Empire. Maybe a slightly advanced magician can do this incredible behavior, and this is enough to prove that their complete system must be more advanced than ours.

"Of course, in fact, I don't think the technology system we created is exactly similar to yours. The causal relationship may be reversed. The actual situation is likely to be that your current technology system is based on the knowledge left by the ancient Titans. Yes, you are actually our imitators and followers."

In fact, Ma En asked this question because he had already obtained this information from the Titan Spider, but he still pretended to be ignorant and curious:

"You mean that the scientific system that we know today and that is open to all of humanity actually originated from you."

Zasna nodded:
"To be precise, it should be that the core idea of ​​your mastery system is related to us.

"If I remember correctly, we had a special plan a long time ago when we were fighting against the gods, that is, we used to create many knowledge storage devices that could stand the test of time, in an attempt to let future humans master the knowledge called 'Manaji' Dayton's special thought theory-this was actually the mainstream view of our Titan civilization on various technical systems at that time.

"That is a set of ways to recognize the world based on verifiability and predictability. If you only master various technologies in this way, then you can effectively weaken the power of those gods.

"At the end of the Titan civilization, we completely banned the use of Gurama magic among civilians, because ordinary people who don't understand Gurama civilization tend to mystify those current technologies in their hearts and cannot give a reasonable explanation magic, and this would give the gods a chance to invade the hearts of men.

"The essence of the gods is human's imagination of the universe and reality. If the current world can be explained by a complete set of theories in the eyes of all human beings, then the gods naturally have no room to live.

"You must know that the gods exist only in the minds of men."

As she spoke, she raised her finger and pointed to the position of her head.

Ma En showed a dazed look:
"So that is to say, if we can make all humans understand nature and the universe, we can effectively weaken these gods. No wonder they deliberately keep the Southern Federation in a backward state and prevent most young children from being free choose to receive a modern science education.

"They are deliberately making human beings ignorant and backward."

In fact, Marne knew this a long time ago, but after hearing what Zasna said, he also remembered that this is indeed a method that can effectively suppress and deal with gods, but unfortunately this method is not fast, and it is not him. People with such independent ability can complete it.

In fact, the federal government can do similar things, and as far as he knows, the federal government has been trying to improve the education level of the Southern Federation, but the resources they have invested are not enough to compete with the gods.

And if you think about it this way, it might be difficult for Seraen to use this trick. After all, among the entities represented by many gods, stars are relatively poorly understood by humans, and there is still a lot of room for imagination.

Seeing that he figured it out, Zasna also smiled:
"That's right, and in fact, long before the Titan civilization went to war with the gods, many scholars advocated the scientific model of Managedon. In fact, it is precisely because we adopted this method that it completely inspired all The conflict between God and us should be the most fundamental reason for this war.

"It's not just because the gods will specifically prevent us from thinking this way, but also because when we think this way, we will doubt the rationality of the existence of the gods and start challenging their authority.

"If you think about it from another angle, it can be said that we started this war. It was Managhidon who gave us the courage and motivation to question the gods, and made the friction between us more intense.

"So your current ruler's decision to isolate the abnormal world is still very smart. It seems that they should not be the kind of idiots who would ignore the danger of the gods."

Speaking of which, Zasna also walked towards the rebuilt wall after the platform was stretched out, then reached out and pushed away a certain wall that Mann couldn't distinguish, and then revealed a door enough for them to walk in.

Behind the "door" is a room that looks closer to the modern style than the building. There are tables and chairs that Ma En is familiar with. There is no less basic furniture than the modern house of the Federation, but there are more electrical equipment that he can't understand.

"I have wronged you to live here during this time." Zasna said, "Although you are not a prisoner, this can only be regarded as a relatively familiar cell. Of course, we have taken this measure to protect you and the people in our city. Civilian, after all, you are still a guy of unknown origin to us."

Mann nodded:

"Understood, I don't expect myself to be able to move freely in your place, as long as I can finally return to my original dimension, this is my only requirement."

His cooperation also made Zasna feel a little relieved. Man's behavior is neither like a spy of the gods, nor is his behavior stupid as an ability user who strayed into the Titan's dimension.

In fact, she was quite worried that Mann was the kind of idiot who would feel that they wanted to kill him quietly, which would cause a lot of trouble for her next actions, but now his attitude was just right for Zasna.

Zasna walked to a door and pushed it open:
"This is the study room, and there are some discussions about our history and the existence of the gods."

Looking at the study, Ma En suddenly asked:

"Then if we can know what the gods are, can we weaken them?"

He is deliberately seducing Zasna to reveal more information about the gods.

Zasna nodded:
"Yes, in fact, this is the way we have studied for a long time in the past, and in fact we have indeed learned the nature and origin of the gods. In fact, this is not a secret..."

Now that Mann has said this, she has no intention of hiding it. Even if Mann is the undercover agent of the gods, letting him know the nature of the gods is not a bad thing, but it may shake his belief.

Zasna went inside and picked out a few books and handed them to Marne:

"It seriously proves the essence of the existence of the gods, but according to our past research, the essence of the gods is actually a bit funny, because we found that these so-called gods believed by humans...

"Instead, it was created by humans."

Marne raised his eyelids slightly:
"You mean we created the gods."

Zasna smiled and said:

"That's right, and I'm not talking about the process of consciousness creating gods. I mean that the race of gods is something created by humans in a certain era. Don't you think this is the only reasonable explanation?

"It's impossible for a natural phenomenon called a god to turn our imagination of nature and the universe into a special creature with self-awareness? Think about it...

"Why do these creatures only exist in the human brain and are not affected by other creatures? And why do these creatures you see now have a consciousness structure that is very similar to that of humans?

"The reason is very simple, because the creation of the gods is human beings, and the human beings at that time would naturally decide to create a race with similar personalities to themselves but able to communicate.

"It's hard for you to imagine how much human beings are obsessed with creating a brand-new race similar to their own consciousness structure, but this is their nature, even the me standing in front of you is a brand-new race created by humans.

"And the gods are no exception. If our research is correct, these gods were originally created as special weapons, and humans at that time should have faced a certain extremely difficult war.

"And at that time, the opponents of human beings were not our kind. In fact, the existence of the gods also determined that when humans were in a life-and-death battle with aliens, they would inevitably become our allies.

"Because if humans die they will die too

"Now you should have figured it out. Why can human consciousness determine their form of existence? Why are they the form of existence parasitic in human consciousness?
"Because they are a biological weapon that will necessarily preserve the survival of humanity.

"At the end of the day, man is God's creator."

Marne showed a surprised look:

"After hearing what you said, I really feel that many doubts about the existence of gods make sense."

Although Ma En's purpose was to seek information from the gods, he didn't expect to hear such words, but after thinking about it, this is indeed the most reasonable answer.

That's right, gods are originally creations of human imagination, how could they exist naturally.

Zasna nodded:
"That's right, but as time goes by, humans gradually forget that gods are actually their own creations, and they also slowly climbed to a higher position in the dark age of mankind, and became so-called gods.

"But if you think about it seriously, the gods are just your creations, no different from us."

Ma En showed a puzzled expression in cooperation:
"you?"

Zasna replied:

"That's right, our Flesh Titans and Mechanical Titans are actually brand-new species created by humans through the research of biological and mechanical technologies. Unlike gods, we have exactly the same consciousness structure as yours.

"But we don't have a soul. We simulate the operation of the soul through a biological brain or a mechanical brain and their respective nervous systems, and this makes it impossible for us to be parasitized by the gods into the brain.

"The gods always think that they are creatures above humans. In fact, their ideas are not unreasonable. If they can't surpass humans in certain fields, they will have no value to be created.

"Therefore, in order to defeat their excellent creations in the past, the human titans re-created us like a creator, using themselves as the blueprint, and looked forward to letting our new human beings defeat the gods."

Ma En showed a dazed look, as if he was dazzled by such a huge amount of information:
"Wait, so you don't have souls."

Zasna smiled and said:

"Yes, neither we nor the Mechanical Titans have souls, but we all have consciousness, and the gods don't actually have souls like you.

"The soul is just a certain way of assuming consciousness, but not the only way.

"It's not just the soul that can think—cells, metals, or intelligent algorithms simulating souls can all perform what you call thinking.

"Maybe the pool of flesh and blood that makes up our heads has no soul, but it could also be called consciousness.

"I know very well that I am alive."

Marne blinked:
"Although I'm not a soul scholar, you do look alive to me."

Zasna smiled:

"It's okay, even if you don't understand our form of existence, it may also be a question of challenging concepts for some scholars, and these are completely unimportant.

"You can take a rest here first, take a look at the books that record our existence, and accept the inspection of professional titans by the way, then we can slowly discuss what the gods and we are."

　In fact, when I wrote this period, I wanted to use the relationship between "the soul and the flesh and blood Titan" to metaphor the relationship between real human beings (flesh and blood life without souls) and non-human consciousness (artificial intelligence). sci-fi
