This is survivor bias.

For all the facts that have happened, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how cruel it seems, it is already a thing of the past. As long as the current results are satisfactory, all the historical pain is nothing but the warriors. Like the scars that come down, each one can be proudly told as a story and a history.

But if the same things that have been experienced are put in front of a warrior again, let him experience the same thing again...

I'm afraid there are very few people in this world who can bear it.

If suffering has any meaning, the greatest meaning is the possibility of success behind it.And what about the unsuccessful ones?

The scars on the warriors are glory, the scars on the dead... can only be called the lessons of history.

Find any primitive civilization at random, and show them the civilization history of the earth for thousands of years:

Tell them to persevere bravely, to start learning agriculture, to build a country, to try to turn people into slaves, to try to resist slavery, to create beliefs, to create religions, to start wars, endless wars...

Tell them that everyone needs to work all day long, and finally die from famine and war, and only the luckiest people can get the inheritance in this blood and fire...

Tell them that they will become wise in the future, they will begin to understand the world, try to observe the earth and the starry sky, try to smelt steel, make machines for production, self-defense and killing...

Tell them, start trying to think, put forward one ideal after another, and watch them be shattered again and again...

Tell them that after thousands of years of tossing like this, if this poor civilization has not suffered the doom of destruction due to various possibilities in this long toss, then they will have the possibility to master some kind of higher level of living standards , They can control everything in the world like the gods in the image, understand the world and transform it according to their own wishes.

"Even the most confident people, hearing such a tortuous course of civilization and progress, will feel scared in their hearts," Yevgeny concluded. "Why do these flying people want to completely abandon all they have learned? Technology? Going back to this ignorant state of life? Simply because they feel worried and afraid about their future..."

"We bring the current way of life on earth and the cost of many world wars to the Middle Ages, and it will also scare the people of that era out of mental illness. Not to mention the leap of thousands of years, when I was 10 years old , if someone tells me that I need to detonate a nuclear bomb by myself in the future, I may be too scared to eat and grow up.”

"For the weak, ignorance is both the greatest weakness and the greatest wealth," Yevgeny added, "but now we are telling them that they cannot continue to be ignorant."

"These people must have made a lot of determination before they decided to completely transform their memories and live in such an environment, and our appearance pulled them back."

"If you tell them the reason for this crisis and how to avoid it, it means that their 1400-year history of ascending to heaven is a complete waste of time. After a full circle, they returned to the starting point—maybe it was a worse starting point .”

"With all due respect, the way of survival of this transformed civilization itself is fragile, just like the way of life of modern people-the more complex something is, the easier it is to be destroyed."

"Even if they won't destroy these spaceships, what about other aspects? Now we know that there is a wirelessly powered magnetic field in this planet, and there are high-energy laser tools-as long as they point the laser at the shell that wraps the entire planet Matter—maybe they will really do this in the future, haven't they always envied the world outside the universe? They also call it the Void Transformation Realm..."

"If they really smoke this kind of wind one day, the whole planet will be like a punctured balloon, causing the entire ecology to collapse immediately. You know, this planet has no source of gravity, just like Soap bubbles floating in the air."

"To be honest, this kind of planet itself can exist for more than 1400 years... Counting the previous history, it may be longer, I find it incredible."

Yevgeny's statement can be summed up in one sentence - it is already a miracle that these flying people can survive till now.As for how they will toss and die next time, only God knows.

Shen Changwen also said the same argument, and his views are more extreme: "There are too many random factors in the direction of a civilization. Don't say that they are only at the level of people on earth-everyone knows what the earth civilization is like. "

"To me, the earth is the civilization that needs to be saved the most. It doesn't look any safer than this flying man civilization. The stock of nuclear weapons on the entire earth is enough to kill the earth civilization itself a dozen times. The so-called peace of the entire earth now , the essence is just a certain balance based on nuclear deterrence.”

"God knows when a lunatic will come out, and then all human beings will suddenly return to the stone age. Asking them to consider the future of flying civilization is like asking a blind man to make a map to guide a lame man to walk..."

If it was a few days ago, facing the two senior experts in the team, Wu Xiaoqing would definitely not interrupt when the search and rescue team was not present.Because this kind of topic has completely exceeded his ability to control, even if he is really asked to talk, he may not be able to hold back anything.

But now, Wu Xiaoqing has obviously obtained some things and views of his own from the materials of Rao Xin. It is hard to say whether these views are mature or not—because this is a completely unknown field. Whether it is Shen Changwen, Yevgeny, Wu Xiaoqing, or Xu Yan, Wang Youquan, what they say may have nothing to do with the truth and reality. Everyone just forms their own opinions based on their own experiences.

It is not difficult to understand that there are huge differences between opinions. The key is that, as the executor of the mission, Wu Xiaoqing knows that there is a truth that is absolutely correct. This is also what the search and rescue team emphasized to him in the previous mission—— The most important thing is to make a decision on what kind of problem and implement it earnestly.

And Wu Xiaoqing also knew that in the whole task, the main executor was actually Wu Xiaoqing himself, and the roles of other people were actually to cooperate with him and help him.

This point was decided by the search and rescue team - Wu Xiaoqing still can't figure out the reason for it, but it is a fact that can be affirmed.

If it was Wu Xiaoqing in the past, he would of course be kind and more inclined to Yevgeny's ideas, because they know more and are more professional-their opinions seem to be more correct because of this.

For Wu Xiaoqing in the past, this can subconsciously relieve part of the burden psychologically.But now, Wu Xiaoqing, who has become enlightened, has understood a truth - there are actually no right and wrong things in many problems in this world, and there are often only things you are willing to do and things you are not willing to do.

What you are willing to do may not be right, and sometimes you may not be willing to do the right thing.

Since Wu Xiaoqing has to do everything in the end, Wu Xiaoqing naturally hopes that what he does is what he is willing to do.

According to Yevgeny's thinking, after solving the energy crisis, there is actually no need to tell these indigenous people anything. ——Because it is very likely that telling them will cause bad things.

Don't make any changes here either - they are not saviors and shouldn't be.The positioning of their mission should be more of an emergency doctor-only when the patient encounters a situation, they will take action.

In this way, they can avoid certain moral dilemmas to the greatest extent—because at their current level, it is difficult to define whether excessive interference is helping this civilization or harming them.

In fact, from the previous two missions, the attitude shown by the search and rescue team can already be roughly seen.

The previous search and rescue team adopted such a method - a civilization encountered a catastrophe, and they rescued it.But something more, they won't stay.

The living environment of primitive people is still harsh, and they need to overcome it by themselves; the world of the Kingdom of Elis is already a hell on earth, but what they can give is only limited to the materials left over from the migration process... Even if these two civilizations After being saved, they all hope that they can stay in the name of gods and guide them all the time...

"But this civilization is different." Wu Xiaoqing was facing the entire island at the moment, and the short-haired guest was holding the Void Transformation Stone and Qianyang Finger in his hands, and was carefully operating.

A thin and bright red light is slowly moving in the air. Where it passes, whether it is soil, rock or metal, it is gently split into two parts, like a jelly drawn by a thin line.

The whole island seems to be a huge watermelon being cut open, and an obvious crack is spreading from the edge to the center...

Because it is difficult to form the concept of up and down in the ascension realm, Wu Xiaoqing looks at what is happening in front of him, and sometimes thinks that it is like cutting the earth with a huge long sword, but after a few seconds, he feels that they are is tearing the sky apart.

The constant change of senses caused by this kind of spatial dislocation gave Wu Xiaoqing a trace of unconfidence in his words, but he still insisted on saying it.

"In the previous two missions, the civilizations we encountered can be defined as normal civilizations, and the abnormal conditions encountered. It is the fusion of the environment that leads to the crisis of civilization... Strictly speaking, they are more of a kind of civilization. Disasters, we were doing disaster relief before."

"But this time it's more of a problem with civilization itself. It's a deviation in the ecology of civilization itself—just like a person is sick."

"In the face of disasters, what we can do is of course save them to a safe place beyond the reach of disasters, and then let them continue to survive on their own."

"But in the face of illness - if a person has some kind of tumor complication, do we just relieve the symptoms and think that the treatment is over? The normal approach should not be to remove the tumor and inform the patient of a normal lifestyle , keep him away from similar disease risks after recovery?"

"Of course, the patient's own disease is very serious, and we don't have a better treatment - this can be an explanation, but it is not a reason for us to stop here. It means that we are not motivated to solve the problem itself - but we will later Such work definitely requires such enthusiasm.”

Yevgeny was obviously curious about Wu Xiaoqing's words: "Wu, then you might as well share your positive plan."

Wu Xiaoqing paused, and reorganized the plan that he had pondered for a long time. After the huge island behind him began to slowly split into a large piece, he said again: "A civilization is actually a way of life..."

"If we take the earth as a comparison, it is easy to draw a conclusion that the way of life of this civilization itself is sick..."

"This kind of morbidity does not mean how ignorant they are. There were periods of ignorance on Earth. Human ignorance in the Middle Ages was no less ignorant than this civilization. The madness of World War I and World War II is actually more terrifying than flying man civilization..."

"But on Earth, a pathological way of life itself must eventually have some bad enough consequences - ignorance that stagnated Europe throughout the Middle Ages, madness that pushed man's capacity to destroy life to such an extreme that We are still afraid... and the consequences themselves are the best medicine for the disease."

"It's like if a person is sick and feels bad, then he will definitely try to avoid getting sick later."

"But if a person is sick and doesn't even notice..."
