Chapter 3246 Golden Age

"farm?"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu understood the meaning of Hongjixing at the same time, their foreheads were dripping with sweat, their faces were pale, and they pointed to the tip of their noses and said, "So, we are all 'rice' and 'fruit trees' in the farm. Is the emotion and imagination of the earth the 'fruit' that the will of the earth needs?"

"I guess so. Otherwise, the will of the earth will lock us in this damn prison of reincarnation. What is the earth doing after countless reincarnations?"

Red Pole Star pointed to his temple, "The purpose is to stimulate our soul to a certain extent, so that we can continuously produce emotions and imaginations that it can never secrete.

"Those legends that seem to be strange, grotesque and even absurd, those works that will be dismissed as nonsense and obscenity, those fantasy worlds that are wild and unconstrained, and those most daring and ignorant yearnings for the end of the star sea——" These are the solid cores of a great civilization, and the will of the earth itself does not have such a core. If it had ever had hot blood, it must have cooled and condensed hundreds of millions of years ago, even if it had had Dreams must have long been turned into mottled fragments, completely annihilated!

"Even at the level of the big universe, it is really an invincible super monster with superb computing power and huge military power. It is a tyrannical existence of the gods and demons series. It can perfectly control everything in the big universe and can solve all problems. Calculate the perfect answer - but at the level of 'life' and 'civilization', the so-called 'perfect' does not exist at all, the full moon is full, the abyss is after the peak, and the end of 'perfect' is destruction.

"In a word, the will of the earth has no emotions and dreams, it doesn't even have the 'ability to make mistakes', and the ability to make mistakes is a crucial factor in the evolution of life, we only have to keep making mistakes, keep making mistakes, make mistakes and make mistakes again, and make those whimsical ideas, Absurd mistakes have the opportunity to survive and develop in the ever-changing universe, and even burst out with infinite possibilities.

"A civilization that has no imagination and no mistakes can't discover the slightest possibility, and can't even find the meaning of its own existence. It is destined to hit its limit shortly after reaching the peak, and it has absolutely no There is no way to break through its own limits, so it has to rely on external forces—a race with emotions, dreams, and imaginations that makes mistakes to find infinite possibilities, that is us.

"We human beings are not as good as we brag about, and we are not even worthy of the title of 'spirit of all things'. We are really a very bad carbon-based intelligent life-we have rich and colorful emotions, but often because of Emotional and impulsive, falling into the dark quagmire of human nature, to hurt ourselves; we have the ambition to forge ahead, but this ambition often turns into ambition, and we lose everything in a daze for the ambition that we can't support at all; our nature is romantic And full of dreams, but this makes us often suffer from our own dissatisfaction, our desires are hard to fill, no matter how many things we get, we will get bored in at most three to five seconds, eager to find more things ten times or a hundred times more to fill our hearts the emptiness.

"But it is these flaws that shaped us and made us the most powerful force in the sea of ​​stars. When our ancestors looked up at the starry sky for the first time and sighed, our race was destined to embark on a thorny road. , ride the wind and waves, and dominate the road of supremacy, only such us are qualified to be the 'heart', 'brain' or 'engine' of the will of the earth!"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were shocked again, and they looked at Hongjixing with very different eyes.

"It turns out that the entire prison of reincarnation is the 'engine' of the will of the earth?"

Zhang Daniu murmured.

"Yeah, I like the term 'engine' more than 'brain' or 'farm.'"

Hongjixing said, "Because the 'engine hypothesis' can well explain why the will of the earth dare not ignore everything and forcefully restart in an instant - because doing so will not only cause serious damage to the 'engine' itself, but also interrupt the power output. The continuity of it will affect its combat effectiveness on the battlefield of the big universe."

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu thought about it for a while, and they both felt that it made sense.

Think of the will of the earth as a chariot that is in a fierce firefight with the enemy. Naturally, its engine cannot be restarted casually. If the engine is damaged for three to five minutes, it is enough for the will of the earth to be shot into a hornet's nest by the enemy.

"Your conjecture makes some sense, but I still don't understand it."

Zhang Daniu frowned and said, "Even if the Prison of Reincarnation is really an endless cycle of farms, an engine that is always running at super high speed, then why is it now? It is from the 1970s and 1980s to the 2030s and 40s." period of time?"

"Because this is the golden age of earth civilization, human beings have reached the peak of carbon-based intelligent life on a single planet in the past few decades."

Hong Jixing said, "I guess, the will of the earth can of course set the background time of the prison of reincarnation in the Middle Ages or even the Stone Age, but it won't be able to harvest enough emotion and imagination—from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, or even the Stone Age." Until modern times when the industrial revolution was just budding, it was a dark age of ignorance and confusion. People living in that ignorant and closed environment were starving and precarious, and most of their energy had to be devoted to the competition for survival. Only a very small number of people can have the "luxury" of emotion and imagination, and the backwardness of information transmission means that their emotion and imagination cannot form a large-scale "resonance" with others.

"Even if a poet who lived in the Middle Ages wrote immortal poems about the stars and the universe, it might take thirty or fifty years or even one or two hundred years before they could be passed on hundreds of thousands of miles away. Among them, most people except these noble poets can't understand their subtlety at all-the efficiency of such information transmission is too low, how can the emotion and imagination that are stimulated meet the needs of the will of the earth? ?

"Our age, or the age carefully crafted for us by the will of the earth, is completely different.

"Steam revolution, electrical revolution, information revolution!

"World War I, World War II, Cold War!

"Turing machines, computers, networks, mobile phones, wireless networks, all kinds of information terminals!

"Universal education for all, entertainment for all based on a sufficiently solid material foundation, online games for millions of people at the same time, online novels with millions of words, super-fast interaction between authors and readers at any time!

"Space technology, cloning technology, nanotechnology, information explosion, technological explosion, everyone can share their dreams and emotions with others anytime and anywhere through mobile terminals, forming a large-scale resonance similar to mass hysteria!

"Don't you think, if the will of the earth really wants to harvest our emotions and dreams, this is the best time?"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were stunned for a long time.

Zhang Daniu scratched his hair and said, "So, you mean that all the information terminals we use, including the social environment we live in, and everything are deliberately created by the will of the earth to harvest us?"

"It may not be deliberately created - this is too real, too real to be completely faked. I suspect that a long time ago, there was indeed an 'Origin Earth'. Every reincarnation we experience is based on the 'Origin Earth'. Earth's history that actually happened as a template."

Red Pole Star said, "But this time period must have been carefully chosen by the will of the earth. Only such a golden age is the most convenient for it to 'cultivate' the strongest emotions and the richest imagination, and carry out the most efficient 'harvest' .

"If this is the case, then the apocalypse organization's obliteration of the observers has another explanation-maybe it's not just the fear of the observers awakening more heroic spirits, this is also part of the harvest, after all, the observers are often those with the strongest emotions and For a person with rich imagination, harvesting one observer is probably more useful than harvesting a hundred ordinary people."

"That means--"

Zhang Daniu thought of a shuddering possibility, "The creation of the observer, the awakening of the awakened, and even the resistance of the prison breaker, all of them are in the plan of the will of the earth?"

"It's possible. After all, in the process of the awakened discovering the truth and evolving into a prison breaker to resist, they will definitely release endless ripples of emotion, will and determination. Perhaps the will of the earth needs these things?"

Red Pole Star smiled slightly, "However, I always believe that there is no such thing as being able to control everything perfectly. Perhaps the Earth's will in its heyday could manipulate six billion heroic spirits at will, but this time is different from the past. This time, we will not Same!"

"I see."

Zhang Daniu thought for a while and said, "Then why did the will of the earth set the end time of the reincarnation prison to the 1930s and 1940s? Dream, can't it harvest more emotion and imagination?"

"No, that would be too much."

Red Pole Star said, "The so-called 'harvesting emotions and imagination' is a double-edged sword. When the heroic spirits continuously output the most intense ripples in their souls, they will definitely wake up and resist. The will of the earth must be awakened. The resistance is controlled within a reasonable limit, and must not exceed the critical point, which will cause the situation to completely get out of control.

"Still using the 'engine' as an analogy, the will of the earth hopes to keep the output power of the engine within a reasonable limit. Of course, the output is too low is not good, but if the output is too violent for a long time, it will cause the engine to overload or even explode. It gets worse, doesn't it?"
