Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1235 Natural Evolution
"Do you think that it is only my decision to go to the Milky Way? Or, can I leave the Southern Alpha Galaxy without support?"

Yang Yi forced a smile, waiting for Yang Guang to continue.

"At the time, not just me, we all realized that it was impossible to turn defeat into victory just by relying on these carbon-based intelligent creatures created in the southern Alpha galaxy. The point is that the conservatives will not give us too much time, and we obviously cannot Victory before the development of intelligent life. The harsh reality before us is that no matter how hard we try, we will still suffer disastrous defeat. Of course, we have not acknowledged and accepted the reality, otherwise we are not radicals. If we cannot rely on If the carbon-based intelligence we create wins, then our only choice is to find more powerful life, that is, more effective tools."

"So, how do you know that there are creatures you're looking for in the galaxy?"

"We didn't know, at least not at the time, but we had no other choice, so we had to take the risk, even if the chances of success were slim."

Yang Yi sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.

"Of course, this is our collective decision. Because there is no certainty, we can only let one of us go to the Milky Way."

"That's you."

"That's right, I was chosen, even if it wasn't my goal. Although I was the first to ask questions and realize that the carbon-based life in the Southern Alpha galaxy is of little value, I never thought about it from the beginning to the end. To leave the Southern Alpha galaxy, I never thought about going to a distant galaxy. Of course, this is also related to our previous attempts, that is, we are not sure of reaching other star systems. However, I am even more unwilling to leave many companions, because we We have a common ideal, and leaving is tantamount to betrayal, even if we shoulder a key mission. In fact, none of us is willing to leave, so in the end it is a collective vote to decide who to send to the galaxy."

"Obviously, you've been lucky and unlucky."

"It can be said that, or the element of misfortune is greater." Yang Guang forced a smile and said, "You know, the journey to the Milky Way is extremely long. You already know my true identity, so you must know , an existence like us will lose its vitality after leaving the star system. Even with the advanced equipment on that spaceship, I have no worries about my life, but for an existence like us, loss of vitality and death have nothing to do with it There is a difference, and when you wake up, you have to face a completely strange world. Simply put, if you understand it with your human concept, this is like a journey from the world to hell."

"Of course, you did make it to the Milky Way."

"I just made it to the Milky Way, and it wasn't smooth."

"is it?"

Yang Guang let out a long breath before saying: "First of all, it is not me who has arrived in the Milky Way, but a carrier, a living body that carries my individual consciousness."

"What!?" Yang Yi was shocked and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief.

"I have already said that it is impossible for existences like us to leave the star system in which we were born. As long as we leave the star system in which we were born, after entering the gravitational fields of other star systems, all the elements that make us will immediately and completely For us, it is death. The key is that we are attached to the space and are a whole with the star system we were born in. If the Alpha galaxy is likened to a living body, then we puppets are the members of this living body Consciousness, of course, is a multitude of consciousnesses. Due to this restriction, no matter how powerful we are, we cannot leave the Alpha galaxy, at least we cannot go directly to other star systems. The only way to solve this problem is actually to find another carrier. However, this also means giving up a lot of things, such as the unparalleled strength."

"You mean, when you arrived in the Milky Way, you were just an ordinary living body, or that what you had was just an ordinary body?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"The issue is……"

"The problem is, I went to the Milky Way galaxy millions of years ago, and I got close to the solar system. At that time, no intelligent life forms were born in the solar system. In fact, there were no other intelligent life forms in the Milky Way at that time, at least not up to The intelligent life we ​​require." Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "That's right, I was not awakened by the spacecraft's control system, and I was still asleep. Of course, this is actually a setting I made in advance, that is, only when The control system of the spaceship will wake me up only after I have discovered a sufficiently developed intelligent life. The main reason is that the life form that carries my consciousness is extremely fragile, and its lifespan is extremely short. Die before intelligent life is found, and I clearly shouldn't be risking that."

"and then?"

"Obviously, all I can do is wait until intelligent life appears in the solar system, or until the control system of the spacecraft starts to operate according to the pre-set program."

"What procedure?"

"Create intelligent life."

"what!?"

"Simply put, human beings were not created by me, but by that spaceship. Of course, to be precise, that spaceship was on the only planet in the solar system that is suitable for life to exist, according to the degree set by me in advance. It endowed a creature with the most potential at that time with the most basic intelligence. It's just that there is nothing wrong with saying that I created human beings, or that I created human beings. It's just executing the program." Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "The most important thing is that I have learned the lessons from the Southern Alpha Galaxy, or I have enough time to think about our previous experience after leaving the Southern Alpha Galaxy. Do everything and find the mistakes we made and finally find a way forward.”

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, when I left the Southern Alpha galaxy, I was still awake. Even in the state of deep sleep, my consciousness still exists, but the efficiency of operation is much lower, which cannot be compared with the state of the situation. Fortunately, the long The time brought by the voyage made up for the efficiency problems, allowing me to think clearly about many problems, and also gave me enough time to find solutions to these problems."

"what is the problem?"

"It's very simple." Yang Guang said with a faint smile, "Why can't the carbon-based intelligent life we ​​created in the Southern Alpha galaxy become a tool to defeat the conservatives?"

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Guang incomprehensibly.

"Actually, before I left the Southern Alpha galaxy, I thought about it clearly. At least I knew where we made mistakes. Otherwise, the other guys in the radical faction wouldn't listen to my suggestion, let alone let me I took a spaceship to the Milky Way. You must know that the value of this spaceship is not just to travel across the star system. It is the legacy of the creator, which is a treasure that cannot be measured by value."

"and then?"

"It's just that what I thought of at the time was actually just my speculation, and I couldn't prove it, and no one was willing to prove it."

"What speculation?"

"Our influence, or limitation, on the intelligent beings we create."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and frowned.

"Of course, after I came to the Milky Way, to be precise, after you humans were born, I realized that I was in the right direction from the beginning." Yang Guang smiled lightly and said, "It's very simple, there are no puppets in the Milky Way." , so in the past billions of years, no real intelligent beings, let alone intelligent civilizations, have been born in the Milky Way. Although theoretically speaking, if I have not come to the Milky Way, then it may not be possible even after billions of years Intelligent creatures will be born, but with the emergence of human beings, especially after human beings have evolved into intelligent civilizations through self-evolution, I discovered that our influence and restrictions on intelligent creatures are too great. Even if we can create intelligent creatures, However, under our limitations, no intelligent creature can really develop. That is to say, in addition to creation, our influence on intelligent creatures is more of a limitation than helping intelligent creatures evolve to a higher level. level. Then, will intelligent beings evolve to a higher level without our limitations?"

"There are no golems in the galaxy?"

"There must have been, but it died when I arrived. As for how it died, I don't know, at least I don't care much. Of course, it must have something to do with the Milky Way itself, after all, the Milky Way is too small. In addition, The puppets of the Milky Way must also have disagreements, and maybe a civil war broke out. Although this did not lead to the destruction of the Milky Way, after all, on the scale of the Milky Way, it is impossible to split into two star systems after the central black hole is finished, and it will only perish directly, but this A war that led to the extinction of all the puppets is equivalent to freeing up space for all creatures, including humans, so that the creatures in the galaxy can evolve themselves without being affected. Obviously, this is a very special situation. It doesn't exist in any other star system."

"You mean you didn't interfere in the evolution of man?"

"That's right, the spacecraft created humans according to the pre-set program, that is, by changing the genes, the apes can evolve wisdom and become real intelligent creatures, that is, you humans. Of course, for insurance, I set You have developed several sets of transformation plans, so you humans have multiple races. However, the final result is the same, that is, different races have all evolved wisdom, and there is no essential difference, and the influence of small differences in genes is the same. Diluted with the long evolutionary process. In fact, before your grandfather and grandmother came to the outer reaches of the solar system and entered the spaceship I was in, I never had direct contact with humans."
