(I missed update 266 yesterday, and it has been patched.)

For Civilization B, the envy and yearning for the universe began from the beginning of civilization—from the time they started looking up at the starry sky, they had already realized the mysteries and mysteries of the world above their heads.

Different from the earth, the fear and fear of the universe also started from this time.

There is a word in Civilization B, its meaning corresponds to sky and sky in Chinese and English, but at the same time, this word has the meaning of brother and enemy.

Civilization b also has the concept of "earth", but they have seven words corresponding to "earth".

Through a more detailed vocabulary interpretation, many experts from different countries independently came to approximate conclusions—the birth of Civilization b probably has seven birthplaces, and they are seven planets in the same galaxy .Before they gained the ability to navigate the universe, the seven civilizations on these seven planets were already in fierce competition with each other.

From the moment the telescope was invented, these seven civilizations have been staring at each other with their eyes wide open.

For quite a long period of time, they were each other's imaginary enemies—probably because of this reason, in the language of civilization b, there are quite a few words that seem chaotic but are actually unified—for example, words that also mean the earth, Some contexts refer to hometown, while others refer to hell...

The specific details in the middle, several bigwigs from Qinglan Consulting still have no way to understand.But just from the perspective of language, these seven civilizations finally formed a confederation of galaxies through uninterrupted wars-after the confederation lasted for more than 2000 years, it was also called the Federation.

In other words, the galaxy where the entire b civilization is located has finally been truly unified.It is hard for people on Earth to imagine that when the entire galaxy system is unified, their technological level is actually not as good as that of Earth—the so-called wars they fought before were nothing more than throwing dozens of bombs at each other every few years or decades. nuclear warhead...

For Civilization B, nuclear wars are historical facts that really happened. After limited nuclear wars, it was also because of nuclear deterrence that a fragile peace emerged between civilizations.The seven former enemy civilizations gradually merged in peace.

After 2630 years after the unification, civilization found a new enemy - but this time, the enemy did not come from outside the planet, but from within them - robots.

That is c civilization.

This explains why the two civilizations use different scripts, but their languages ​​are so consistent.

Civilization C actually doesn’t have language at all—a civilization that doesn’t need to use vocal organs to communicate naturally doesn’t need such a backward communication tool like language—Civilization C optimizes the text of Civilization B in its own way, but the language is not at all No change.

In c civilization, the meaning of enemy is the same word as god, master, friend, and god.It is worth noting that this term also refers to all "living entities".

Judging from this point, when they appear in c civilization, they are likely to be treated as enemies.

In the interpretation of civilizations b and c, the entire month of March also passed quietly.

For Wu Xiaoqing, the biggest benefit to him of living without tasks for more than two months is that he gradually developed a set of fixed living habits.

In the past, Wu Xiaoqing had no life, let alone got used to it.Before meeting the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing’s most common state was to find a way to make money when he had no money, and spend it when he got money... After meeting the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing’s life was tasks, tasks, and constantly performing tasks .

He has hardly experienced such a long period of idleness, and life.

Wu Xiaoqing rented a house near Ningzhou University Town, where he would live when the company was free.If he is free, he will go to several nearby universities to attend lectures.There is no special course that he pays attention to. Many times, he just goes in and listens to what the teacher is talking about.Because of his tender face, no one doubted that he was not a student at the school—Shen Changwen had prepared many lecture certificates for him, but until now, he had never had a chance to use them.

This is not surprising. In reality, what is more precious to a university is actually a diploma, the knowledge learned in a real university-in fact, it is very cheap, and no one cares.

When Wu Xiaoqing went to university, he didn't necessarily study certain courses. Most of the time, he was just like other college students, just reading novels in class, staring blankly, or thinking about some issues that he cared about.The reason why I came to the university is just because there is an atmosphere of thinking here.

At the end of early March, as the sun continued for several days, the weather suddenly became hot.It was 11:[-] in the morning, and with the bell ringing for the end of get out of class, Wu Xiaoqing walked out of the teaching building with the flow of people, and then walked towards the school gate by himself.

There is a snack street at the entrance of the school. More than half of the nearby college students do not go to the cafeteria to eat, but choose to come out to solve it by themselves-compared with the food in the cafeteria, the food outside is still better after all, and there are many more varieties.

Wu Xiaoqing often came to this snack street to eat during this time. Like other students, Wu Xiaoqing soon established several fixed small shops because of his personal taste.Today, just like the previous few days, Wu Xiaoqing walked into a restaurant selling barbecue rice and asked the boss for a barbecue rice with added ingredients. After paying the money, he brought the meal to a table in the restaurant. He ate without hesitation.

It was the end of get out of class time, and it was also the busiest time of the day for this snack street. Not long after Wu Xiaoqing sat down, a large number of students rushed in.The seats around Wu Xiaoqing were filled up quickly.Probably because there was no place, more students later did not eat in the store, but chose to take away.

Wu Xiaoqing's eating speed is not fast. While eating, he was still thinking about the linguistic problems of b and c.Recently, he has read a lot of papers on linguistics, and gradually began to have his own ideas in this regard.

At this time, a male classmate who was eating opposite Wu Xiaoqing stood up and left, and then sat down alone in that position.Wu Xiaoqing glanced at him, then froze - because the person in front of him was clearly exactly the same as him.

The other party spoke at this time: "Don't be nervous, Wu Xiaoqing. You represent the search and rescue team."

Wu Xiaoqing immediately realized in his mind that it was Civilization A.The other party nodded almost at the same time he thought of it—it seemed that Wu Xiaoqing's thinking was completely transparent to the other party: "Then, let's talk."

Then the "Wu Xiaoqing" in front of Wu Xiaoqing stood up—following his movement, Wu Xiaoqing found that the entire surrounding environment seemed to have been pressed the pause button and completely stopped.

Pedestrians on the street, vehicles on the road, even pieces of paper flying in the air, and the action of the boss grilling meat at the door—all stopped completely, as if time stopped at this moment.

"Don't think too much," said the other party, "this is your consciousness space...I'm still a guest here. In order to facilitate the conversation, you need to speed up your thinking appropriately—you should be able to understand."

Wu Xiaoqing nodded, this concept is not difficult to imagine.For a high-level civilization, the movement of the world in their eyes must be different from that of people on earth—higher speed, wider space and time are inevitable.Among them, the concept of speed does not just refer to the speed of operation - the speed of thinking is also an indicator.As far as thinking tools are concerned, the reaction speed of the human brain is too slow.

"Then, next, in order to facilitate communication, we first determine some prerequisites. First, during the communication process, we will need to extract and simulate your memory and thinking mode-we promise not to make any further adjustments to this information outside of this communication. , any form of reuse. These data are only used to improve the efficiency of communication between us, is this acceptable to you?"

Wu Xiaoqing nodded: "Even if you take advantage of it, we don't have the ability to pursue it."

"We are a civilization that respects morality and order," the other replied, "which is far more important to us than to you."

"I don't understand...but I agree."

"Second, after the communication is completed, we will review the communication to make sure that you have not received any technical hints or hints during the communication. If so, we will delete the corresponding memory part. Can you accept it?"

Wu Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, he was very familiar with this clause—it was almost the same as the search and rescue team's requirements for them.It's just that the search and rescue team cannot perform amnestic operations on them, and can only be restricted by keeping them secret.He couldn't help asking, "Is it for the earth?"

"Yes, you actually already have the answer - the search and rescue team told you the answer. What he said is right, any high technology that appears out of thin air will lead to disaster on Earth."

"Then I agree."

"Third article, in this exchange, your identity is the representative from the earth, and also the representative of the search and rescue team organization. Do you have any doubts about this identity?"

"A representative of the earth?" Wu Xiaoqing shook his head, "I can't represent the earth."

"Oh, why? We scanned your memory to make sure you have the right to do so—as long as you agree to it."

"There are more than 60 billion individuals in the entire civilization of the earth...I have no right to speak for everyone else."

"Oh, you advocate individual consciousness...more primitive than I imagined. Haven't you already established a country?"

"Nor am I the actual leader of any country."

"...Oh, my fault, individual consciousness... Well, I just scanned your brain, the political information about the earth, I understand what you mean. But I still have to explain once, according to the cross-civilization civilization we have formulated Exchange Regulations, you have the right to represent the Earth, and this representation will bring considerable benefits to you personally, as well as your civilization."

"Can you elaborate, can I represent the logic of the entire planet? With some kind of... morality that I can understand?"

"Yes," the other party sat down, Wu Xiaoqing raised his head to look at him, only to find that the other party's face changed into Shen Changwen's image, and then the words he said became Shen Changwen's voice, "The logic is clear and simple. First of all, your entire human civilization is based on the brain, and the structure and principles of your brain to produce thinking have been fully verified and calculated during the time we have been in contact. We can draw this conclusion—— ——The results of our civilization and any one of you after full communication are the same. That is to say, no matter what I communicate with you or what conclusion I draw, after sufficient and sufficient communication between me and the other 59 billion people on the earth , the result is exactly the same—your mental model eventually converges.”

Wu Xiaoqing opened his mouth and asked back in disbelief: "Are you sure? Everyone thinks the same? Regardless of their age, nationality, educational background, and level of intelligence?"

"I'm sure, remember the premise I said, fully communicate - the full maximum value, according to our current communication efficiency, converted into the objective time of your earth, is 2 seconds, and the subjective time is 120 years. Full communication Not only does it mean the time of communication, but also the efficiency with which information is received—that is, communication itself includes making sure that the person being communicated can fully and accurately understand the information—so all cultural and intellectual concerns are unnecessary."
