Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1242
The meaning of existence of the first thousand 230 chapters

"I?"

"That's right, it's you. In this universe, every life has its value and purpose, that is, its meaning of existence."

Yang Yi stared at Yang Guang dumbfounded, feeling as if he had fallen into a huge vortex.

"Although I don't know how the intelligent bodies in the six-dimensional universe exist, or what they exist for, the intelligent bodies in the three-dimensional universe obviously have a very clear purpose, and this purpose is often directly related to the things around them. Or an indirect relationship. Simply put, the intelligent bodies in the three-dimensional universe are not real individuals, but social bodies, with social forms, that is, civilizations. In this collective, any individual is more or less related to other Individuals have relationships, and this relationship is the key to the survival of civilization itself. In a sense, this is the biggest and most fundamental difference between you and us."

"Is it important?"

Yang Guang nodded and said: "This is not only very important, but also extremely critical. You must know that we are individuals, even if we have a common ideal, we are willing to cooperate for the common ideal, but fundamentally speaking, we The relationship between puppets is very loose. That is to say, we are still individual individuals in essence, and will not be seriously affected by the demise of other individuals. In fact, even if I am the only one left, I can still exist very well , not to say that we cannot live without other puppets. Although a high degree of independence allows us to easily cope with an almost infinite lifespan and minimize the impact of time, it also makes us lose continuity, that is, we lose the protection of the most Precious things, the internal motivation that allows it to continue.”

Yang Yi frowned, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Actually, this is not only the case with human beings. This is the commonality of all intelligent bodies born in the three-dimensional universe. Because there is no eternal life, no matter whether it is human beings or other creatures, they can only continue their own existence through reproduction. In the process of evolution, only those creatures who know how to protect their offspring and pass on the knowledge they have mastered to their offspring can evolve true wisdom, and only such creatures can develop and grow. Similarly, in the long process of evolution, this natural The result of culling is that those organisms that have evolved intelligence are highly social, that is, have close internal relationships, and this internal relationship will eventually evolve into civilization."

"Is it important?"

"Absolutely important, because that's the basis for continuing the wisdom."

"why?"

Yang Guang smiled lightly and said: "Although we come from the six-dimensional universe, we are not intelligent bodies in the six-dimensional universe. A carrier created to continue wisdom. If this process is to continue, then we are definitely not suitable candidates, but you are, because you are born with the inner drive to inherit wisdom, and we do not. If we say, we need to pass If you use self-sacrifice to achieve the goal of passing on wisdom, only you can do it, but we obviously cannot do it. Obviously, having eternal life makes us gods in the three-dimensional universe, but it also makes us lose the most Fundamentally, it is also the most important feature.”

"Because you don't care about anything, you can't sacrifice yourself for other existences."

"Yes, that's what it means."

Yang Yi sighed, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Of course, for intelligent life in the three-dimensional universe, it is an extremely long process to reach this point, and it will take a lot of time."

"What do you mean?"

"Without my appearance, or without my guidance, it would be impossible for human beings to evolve true wisdom in just a few hundred thousand years, nor would it be possible to conquer the entire Milky Way in just a few hundred years, let alone The Milky Way may be destroyed in just a few thousand years. According to the intelligent life we ​​created in the Alpha galaxy, it is only the first step, that is, it will take tens of millions of years to evolve true intelligence, and the second step, that is, It takes almost 10 million years to obtain the ability to travel across star systems by mastering original energy, and then it takes tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to master the technology that can lead to the destruction of star systems, so as to obtain a leap opportunity, that is, by destroying stars The central black hole of the system discovered the energy module hidden inside. Of course, such a thing has never happened in the Alpha galaxy. However, it is certain that without my appearance, human beings are still apes living in the jungle.”

"you……"

"Of course, my appearance shortened the time for human evolution. More importantly, after I left, human beings developed rapidly without restraint, allowing us to see the amazing results of the natural evolution of intelligent creatures. It is also In this way, I have reason to believe that the value of our existence is actually only to create you, this universe belongs to you, and no matter what the future looks like, it also belongs to you.”

Yang Yi fell silent. Although he didn't like Yang Guang, he didn't deny this point of view.

"Actually, the key lies in you, and your performance has completely exceeded my expectations, even much better than my ideal expectations."

"what?"

"Do you think that you were able to come to the Southern Alpha galaxy and undergo transformation only because of luck?"

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

"It is undeniable that after learning more about human beings, especially after integrating into human society, I have feelings for human beings, and even once regarded myself as human beings. In other words, before I left, I always regarded you as human beings. As the result of my natural continuation, that is, to regard you as my offspring. Although I still chose to leave in the end, I left a lot of things before I left, some of which are specially reserved for you." Yang Guang slightly After a pause, he said, "You can come to the Southern Alpha galaxy, which is directly related to the technology I left behind to build the light-speed spacecraft. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build that spacecraft in your lifetime with human technology."

"So I should thank you?"

"No need, after all, we are father and son, at least we used to be." Yang Guang smiled lightly, and then said, "Of course, the spaceship that sent you to the Southern Alpha Galaxy is nothing, after all, using the technology I left behind, especially Humans will soon be able to make breakthroughs in technologies related to energy modules. The real key is actually another spaceship, which is the 'Hope' you met on the lava planet."

"You mean..."

"This spaceship was built by me, and the transformation equipment on it is also from me. More importantly, only you can enter this spaceship and accept the transformation, because only your genes can activate the transformation equipment on this spaceship , and become what I expected.”

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

"Of course, I could have waited until you grew up and transformed you with my own hands, but I didn't do it, not for anything else, just because I was scared."

"Fear?"

Yang Guang nodded and said, "It's very simple, I don't know what kind of existence you will be after the transformation is completed."

"you……"

"Or, I'm not sure how to control you after the transformation." Yang Guang sighed and said, "Compared with puppets like us, what you humans lack most is not wisdom, but strength. Of course, it's not just you humans, But all intelligent creatures. Of course, this is not an irreparable gap. The point is that the root cause of this problem is that your lifespan is extremely short, so no individual can become strong enough in a limited life. The solution is actually It is also very simple, it is to let you get the same lifespan as us, or at least a considerable lifespan, so that you can become stronger, even comparable to us."

"You mean, for my transformation..."

"That's right, the most important effect of the modification for you is that you have gained almost unlimited lifespan, allowing you to use time to make up the gap with us. Maybe at the beginning, your strength was far inferior to ours, but as long as you have In time, you will definitely surpass us." Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "It's just that this is just my idea when I designed this transformation plan, and I ignored a very critical issue."

"what?"

"This is, you humans have too strong learning ability and adaptability, and you can always do things that I didn't expect. Although this is also the inevitable result of evolution, after all, only those with the strongest vitality are likely to be eliminated naturally. Time to survive, so the one who survived must be the strongest individual, but this ability has endowed you with an extremely powerful ability that we do not have."

"What ability?"

"Explosive growth and progress."

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

"Of course, this phenomenon is more manifested in groups, that is, in the development of human civilization. Simply put, before you mastered technology, you spent thousands of years accumulating the necessary knowledge, and after that, It took only a few hundred years to realize the leap from industrial civilization to aerospace civilization. Simply put, your development speed is not linear, but explosive, and the speed of progress is getting faster and faster. What I did not expect is that this This phenomenon also exists in individuals, and it is most obvious in you." Yang Guang paused for a moment before saying, "It only took you a few years to fully adapt to the result of the transformation, which is this new body. , and maximize its value. In fact, I chose to leave at the beginning because I was worried about such a result. Simply put, as long as you are given the right conditions, it will not take long, maybe decades, or at most hundreds of years, you will be Can surpass me and become a stronger existence than me. At this time, will you still treat me as a father, or can you tolerate my existence?"

Yang Yi was silent because he couldn't answer the question.
