Dream Guide

When Selena appeared on the screen, people around the world were stunned. No matter how hard the staff of the TV station and Internet company try, they cannot turn off the live broadcast unless they shut down the server or directly cut off the network.

At this time, no matter the poor or the rich, officials or ordinary people, almost everyone who was awake at this moment saw this scene and heard Selena's speech.

People couldn't help but talk: What happened? Who is this woman? What does she want to do?

There are probably only a handful of people in this world who know the old lady on TV and know her true identity. And there are even fewer people who know what she wants to do.

"I know you are all surprised at this moment, and maybe you are still doubting whether I am a liar, or maybe it is a trick of some TV station to fool the audience. Here, I solemnly tell you, no!

In fact, as long as you change the channel, or open your mobile phone, and log into an APP that can play videos, you will know that what I say is true. The world is not unified yet, and no one can control all media networks and terminal devices to simultaneously broadcast an unprofitable program in which an old woman talks.

I am indeed the second leader of the parasitic organization. The name of our organization is ‘Children of Gaia’. It once had a disguised identity called the 'Dream Club'.

Our goal is to occupy human bodies, seize human political power, and finally eliminate human beings. "

When Selena finished her opening remarks, the entire earth seemed to be hit by a huge silent bomb. All the discussions disappeared in an instant, leaving only the stunned audience except those who were still sleeping.

Unable to turn off the video, the news and intelligence departments of various governments began an urgent search for the source of the video signal, but found nothing. Their technicians discovered that this video signal exists throughout the entire network world, and all servers and relay stations are synchronized, making existing signal tracking technology completely inoperable.

People can't even tell whether the signal originates from the Eastern Hemisphere or the Western Hemisphere. What's even more frightening is that the signal is translated into the official language of the audience's location in real time, covering all languages ​​​​in the world, as if God arranged this incredible speech.

Many years later, when human beings experienced unimaginable disasters, made bumpy progress on the road to destiny, and struggled to survive on the edge of the universe, people still remembered this day and called this magical live broadcast on the Internet:

VOICE OF GOD!

"But, human friends, please don't panic. I'm not here to declare war today, I'm here to make peace!"

Selena has a kind face, speaks slowly, and has the charm of a mature diplomat. For some reason, people can feel a peaceful force across the screen, soothing their emotions like a mother's hand.

"I think we are not natural enemies. Admittedly, parasite sounds like a scary term. In many movies, it is portrayed as a bug that parasitizes in your brain, drives away your consciousness and seizes your memory. , suck your brains...

But in reality, the Sons of Gaia are not incorporeal. As civilization has developed to this day, you should know that memory is a kind of stored information, and the storage of information depends on matter. A child of Gaia without a material form has no memory. He also doesn't know how to think, because the essence of thinking is the processing of information. Without information, how can we think?

Please imagine, what is a thing that has no physical form, no memory, and cannot think?

I also ask my comrades to think about this issue..."

…

In the silent earth, more people wake up and join the listening ranks.

…

"It's nothing!" Bian Ziyuan, who was lying on his desk while watching computer videos and eating instant noodles, said to himself.

you do not say! If it has no matter, does not carry any information, and cannot think, then it means nothing. What’s the point?

Just like the question of whether there are ghosts in the world, the scientific community does not admit the existence of ghosts unless you can observe it through scientific methods. People who believe in the existence of ghosts also believe that ghosts have the same consciousness as humans, recognize people and objects in their lives, and can cry, laugh, and express themselves, but they are just in a different time and space from us.

But if a ghost not only has no body, but also has no memory and cannot think, then what is the difference between its existence and its non-existence?

Even if it does exist in the form of some kind of energy, it is just a kind of energy! Why call it a ghost and make people fear or awe?

But something is wrong here.

If there is no meaning and it is shaved off with Occam's razor, then how does parasitic consciousness come about? How did Mr. Leicester die? Where does human panic come from in recent years?

Bian Ziyuan suddenly thought of Cronus - the god who created the Internet with his own hands and now dominates everything in the world of Dream Guide.

So what is it?

How was Cronus created if there was nothing?

Bian Ziyuan knew very well that this was not as simple as writing a program. Cronus has a deeper connotation, beyond matter and the general definition of artificial intelligence.

Today's Bian Ziyuan is no longer the young and conceited genius college student he was back then. He has completed his transformation and become a true scientist. But he knew very well that his value did not stop there. He is playing a decisive role in this unprecedented change in a thousand or even ten thousand years.

He has a chip installed in his neck, and that end is connected to the Internet. And his dreams are connected to Kronos, the god of the Dream Web.

He is the father of Cronus. Although the real creator behind Cronus is the Internet, before the Internet can directly invade the Monternet, they need Cronus to remain independent and evolve high intelligence, and Cronus Si not only completed the expected evolution, but even developed independent consciousness.

The reason why the Internet did not completely control Bian Ziyuan through the chip was because it was afraid that Cronus would lose control. Bian Ziyuan has figured out the intentions of the Internet and Mei Ziqing. They want to control Montnets. The only thing that puzzled him was that Mei Ziqing did not have a chip installed. She and the Internet did not seem to be completely on the same side. What was the relationship between them?

In addition, there is Mei Yiqiu, a bad old man who looks senile and even a little confused, but he has kept many secrets about the Monternet and Space Box projects. For example, the dream interoperability technology in the underlying architecture was originally thought to only involve the software level. When Mei Ziqing and Bian Ziyuan tried to do it, they found that it required the cooperation of hardware installed on the space box and quantum satellite, and even Mei Ziqing Neither the core technicians nor the core technical staff of the laboratory knew.

Today, Bian Ziyuan has become a hub, a hub between Mei Ziqing, the Internet, and Dream Guide. They all need him. Of course, he was also very sober. He was just a chess piece, but he still enjoyed this feeling, especially when Mei Ziqing walked towards him lovingly and elegantly.

…

After a brief silence, Selena's voice continued:

"I think you all have the answer in your mind, and also have new doubts. If we are nothing, then where did we come from?

You see, we have unknowingly entered into the ultimate discussion of philosophy.

who I am?

Where do I come from?

Where to go?

Countless philosophers in human history have asked this question. Today, I would like to ask you, especially my comrades, to rethink these questions, where do we come from? Why are we here? "
