Beneath Deep Space

Yu Yifeng got up from the bed. He wanted to go out for a walk...

As the leader of the new human civilization, he undoubtedly bears the greatest pressure.

Although there is still a long, long, long time before the energy crisis, even... it is not an issue that their generation or the next generation needs to think about at all!

"Yeah, it's not something we should think about." Yu Yifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

However, before the demise of the Nyx civilization, all members thought the same way, and then... they died.

"The new human civilization must not follow this old path!" He clenched his fist fiercely and waved it in front of his chest.

"But to conquer this 'big filter', it requires the entire civilization to think about what will happen tens of thousands of years later. This is simply outrageous..."

The more he thought about it, the more cold he felt about the "big filter"... He felt his temples pounding, and he had a splitting headache, as if the boiling blood all over his body was about to burst out.

"I can't sleep at all..."

Yu Yifeng put on his clothes, covered his head with one hand, and walked out of the room.

There were two soldiers standing guard outside the door. The first time they saw Yu Yifeng, they were startled and almost didn't react.

A second later, one of them immediately raised his rifle on alert, while the other reacted quickly and quickly held him down, shouting in a low voice: "It's the captain, don't be nervous!"

In the middle of the night, now almost one o'clock in the morning, someone suddenly appeared from behind. The two soldiers on night shift couldn't help but feel nervous.

Yu Yifeng did not blame them, and smiled at the two of them, "It's nothing, I just can't sleep and go for a walk, nothing else... You can go back early to rest today, just say it was my order."

"Go back, everyone go back."

"yes!"

The two soldiers immediately made a military salute, and at the same time they were very curious: Why are more and more people suffering from insomnia tonight?

In the end what happened?

Watching the two soldiers walking towards the military camp, Yu Yifeng also walked around randomly in this large building.

Along the way, I met several distraught scientists.

They all had their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking. Some were drinking from wine bottles, some were smoking, and the little sparks were as dim as stars.

Yu Yifeng casually greeted them and then separated without saying a word.

Some things are difficult to express with words, so it is better to remain silent...

Yu Yifeng suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go. At this moment, there was no one with whom he could communicate. He felt really depressed.

Unknowingly, I reached the fourth floor...

He saw a room in front of him with the lights still on. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward and knocked on the door.

The people inside heard the knock on the door and spent a while, seeming to look at it with peep eyes.

After seeing the specific appearance of the person who knocked on the door, she slowly opened the door.

Yuriko was wearing a loose pajamas and a pair of pink cotton slippers on her feet, but there was no sleepiness between her eyes. It was past one o'clock in the morning, and she didn't sleep. Maybe she was troubled by something...

When she saw Yu Yifeng, she still said with the same cold expression: "What's the matter? Why don't you go to bed so late?"

Yu Yifeng rubbed his temples and said directly: "I can't sleep, I'm under a lot of pressure, and I want to find someone to chat with. Anyway, you haven't slept yet..."

Under the dim light, her expression could not be seen. She thought for a moment and stepped aside slightly: "Come in."

Then he quickly added: “I don’t want to discuss any issues!”

Yu Yifeng originally wanted to say something, but he held it back after hearing these words. He knew what "didn't want to discuss" specifically meant... Of course he wasn't here to take advantage, he was here to discuss the issue seriously.

He found a chair and sat down, observing carefully.

This small room is only about twenty square meters, but it is extremely neat and tidy, and everything is neatly packed away. It is not as sloppy as some scientists.

This is a nice advantage.

Her personal computer screen was on, with a profound paper on electromagnetism on it. Maybe she had just been studying this thing until late at night...

"Drink water."

She hurriedly made a cup of tea and poured it for Yu Yifeng. At this time, he seemed to think of something again and hurriedly put on a coat. It seemed that he was only wearing pajamas just now, which was too unsightly.

This makes Yu Yifeng a little regretful...

"I don't really want to discuss it..."

She said with a slight embarrassment, and looked down secretly, wondering if she was suspected of being exposed just now.

However, Yuriko's tone has softened slightly, from "I don't want to" to "I don't really want to".

In just such a short time, Yu Yifeng felt that his psychological pressure was much lessened. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, thinking about what he wanted to say.

After all, he is not steel. He is still essentially a carbonyl creature, and his mental activities are not much different from those of normal humans. As long as we are human beings, we all have limits of endurance and long to hold each other together for warmth.

The Great Filter is an unprecedented and huge problem. It is a different concept to bear it alone than to bear it jointly with two people.

"Are we really not going to discuss it?" Yu Yifeng asked.

Yuriko was silent for a while and touched her silky hair.

She frowned slightly and sighed again: "Just tell me..."

After hearing this, Yu Yifeng enthusiastically recounted his thoughts on the "Great Filter".

The problem of technological barriers is not unsolvable, but it is essentially a social problem. Social problems are too complicated, not just one aspect. If you really want to talk about it, you can write a thick book.

These social problems are actually quite difficult to solve. How difficult are they? It's as difficult as getting Americans to believe in and realize communism!

And social problems are essentially the problem of genetic inferiority... Genetic problems are even more difficult to solve.

So... it is extremely difficult to solve this problem.

"According to what you said, the philosophical system of species genes includes the two aspects of 'survival' and 'reproduction'?" Yuriko also sat down, sitting face to face with Yu Yifeng, holding her chin and thinking.

Yu Yifeng said seriously: "Yes, I think that most of human behavior can be attributed to 'survival' and 'reproduction', and natural selection and sexual selection correspond to the former and the latter respectively."

"Surviving as a living thing and leaving your genes to the next generation actually completes the glorious mission of living things. Just like many insects and wild animals, isn't the hard life just for survival and reproduction?"

"Isn't that the meaning of life?"

"It's just that the meaning of life has been attached to many noble labels by us. The development of civilization has given humans more choices and derived more things. Humans have diversified their life goals, but in essence, they still cannot escape the two philosophical viewpoints of 'survival' and 'reproduction'."

"So from the perspective of the essence of genes, there is not much difference between humans and other animals. They all use 'survival' and 'reproduction' as the driving force of behavior. Our every move is for these two points... and there is not much difference from Paramecium."

"'Survival' and 'reproduction', is this the meaning of life?" Yuriko thought about it in a daze, but she couldn't think of a reason to refute it, and she was still thinking.
