40,000 Years of Cultivation

On the surface of Professor Mo Xuan's silver-white metal body, a circle of ripples appeared. The ripples quickly broke through the boundaries of his body and spread to every corner of the entire auditorium.

Regardless of the students of Tianhuan Academy in the video, or today, several decades later, Li Yao who is watching this video in a shuttle car, Professor Mo Xuan contains the grandeur, the long-term and the infinite possibilities. , Deeply shocked.

Even Xie Wufeng, the representative of the "vigilant faction", looked pale and fell into deep thought. After a while, he began to refute with difficulty: "...I still think, Professor Mo, you are too optimistic and too ideal about'Zi Wenming'. I just said that I have two sons and a daughter. I watched them grow up little by little, so I know the nature of babies and children, even if they don’t call it “evil”, at least they are Driven by unconscious curiosity, full of unbridled destructive power!

"Baby and children can use a magnifying glass to burn the ants with great interest, and laugh happily; they can break the wings of dragonflies with relish, just to observe the creeping and twisting of insects; they can also spend an hour or two, hard work. The building block tower is just to enjoy the pleasure of completely destroying them in a second!

"This is the child, this is the undisguised evil of human nature!

"To deal with ordinary'bear children', we powerful'adults' may be able to train and educate well, but we don't even know that a virtual sub-civilization based on crystal brains and spirit nets, or'bear children' civilization ', what kind of form it will be, and how much power it has!

"I want to remind Professor Mo, and at the same time remind all of you present here-even ourselves, in a sense, is a'bear child civilization'! Think about it, our strict'father' treats us The Pangu civilization, which was arbitrarily squeezed and enslaved, was certainly defeated, suppressed, and destroyed by us! But our kind "mother" who once selflessly helped us and awakened us completely, "Nuwa civilization", they went Where? Will it be countered, suppressed or even completely destroyed by us?

"That's what I want to say, don't underestimate the destructive power of the bear child, let alone avoid its evil. In the dark and cold universe, there is no such thing as'being good at the beginning of man'!"

These words made the extremely hot atmosphere cold again, and many students fell into deep thought again, and there was one after another voices of discussion around them.

"Your concern is very reasonable. I agree with you very much, Professor Xie."

Unexpectedly, Professor Mo Xuan uttered such a sentence. Then, in the shock of his classmates, he changed the subject and said, "Then, there are only two ways for you and all the'vigilants'. .

"The first way, Professor Xie, and all those present here who agree with Professor Xie's point of view, believe that the development of the crystal brain and the spirit net will eventually give birth to a terrible "virtual bear child civilization" that will eventually destroy mankind. Please immediately remove it. Your portable crystal brain smashed it to pieces. From now on, you will no longer contact crystal brains and Lingwang, do not shop online, do not order takeaways from Lingwang, do not play online games, and do not accept Lingwang distance education. Make friends online, do not use online shuttles, do not use online financial services...Return to the era of self-sufficiency and slash-and-burn.

"Not only do you have to do this yourself, but you also have to find ways to persuade the federal authorities to do so, and prohibit the existence of Crystal Brains and Lingnets within the entire Federation.

"No, it is not enough for the Xingyao Federation to seal crystal brains and spiritual nets. The True Human Empire and the Covenant Alliance have master crystal brains that are more powerful than the Federation, and their spiritual nets are at least not as developed as ours. So you have to persuade the empire and the Holy League authorities, as well as all the unknown human civilizations in the three thousand worlds, and all the unknown non-human civilizations outside the three thousand worlds—all abandon the technologies similar to crystal brains and spirit nets. .

"If you can't'persuade' the empire and the Holy League, then you must find a way to expand the strength of the Federation to the point of completely eliminating the empire and the Holy League without relying on crystal brains and spirit nets.

"Come on, any of your classmates in this room will try first? I don’t say forever. I don’t ask you to never use crystal brains or touch the Internet for a lifetime, even if it’s just a small experiment, one year! Who can swear, not one year? Anyone online? Does any classmate raise their hand? Other classmates can supervise him and testify for him!"

There was a senseless snicker all around the auditorium, and no one dared to raise his hand for a whole minute.

Professor Mo Xuan also laughed: "It seems that there is no, then Professor Xie, you, you are so vigilant about the unification of Lingwang. You are willing to do it yourself. As an example, you will never touch the Internet or use the crystal brain from now on. Did I notice that the miniature crystal brain you wear on your left wrist is the'Feiyan-9', a super high-grade miniature crystal brain that was just released last month, and judging from the engraved spirit patterns on both sides, Did you choose the highest configuration with the strongest computing power? It seems that you are not too worried that this'Feiyan-9' will be refined!"

There was a burst of laughter in the auditorium again, and there was a cheerful atmosphere all around.

Xie Wufeng flushed, and subconsciously shrank his exposed wrist, Jingmin, into his sleeves, and stammered: "I, of course, we are not going to completely deny the meaning of Jingmin and Lingwang, just say, just say this. The development of this technology should have its limits..."

"Boundaries, where are they, and how are they controlled?"

Professor Mo Xuan asked aggressively, "For example, the Federal Parliament passed a new law to force all crystal brain computing power in the Federation to operate at a maximum of one billion ideas per second? Or stipulate a cross-stellar sea light path through four-dimensional space. , How much should the maximum internet speed not exceed? If it exceeds, it is illegal or criminal?

"Face the reality, Professor Xie! The reality is that once we start using Crystal Brain and Lingnet, we cannot stop its computing power from getting higher and higher, and the internet speed is getting faster and faster, increasing geometrically until it breaks through. Another so-called'critical point'! If in such a virtual world, a new life form will really be born, then life will also find its own way out, and no force can stop it!

"It's too late for your vigilance! Maybe before mankind invented the first crystal brain, or even the first rudimentary calculation magic weapon, you issued such warnings and worries, it is still useful! But now, butterfly wings Fanned long ago, the invisible storm has been born and bred in the depths of the Xinghai Lingwang. In the near future, it will surely sweep the entire universe!

"We can’t enjoy the convenience and progress brought by Jingbrain and Lingwang, but refuse to bear the unknown variables and consequences that it may bring. There is no such cheap thing in the world! Your vigilance, with all due respect, besides bringing There is no practical meaning other than the pleasure of "everyone is drunk and I am alone"!

"If you are a true ‘vigilant’ and want to avoid the disasters brought about by the ‘bear child civilization’, the above road will not work, only the second road can be taken.

"That is—join us!"

On the surface of Professor Mo Xuan's body of liquid metal, eight metal tentacles slowly grew out of it, which made his appearance look even more weird and less like a "human" in the traditional sense.

His voice has also become more ethereal, profound and calm, "Professor Xie, and all of you here, most of you are literary and artistic practitioners, and you can become very good script architects and content supervisors. Welcome everyone to join "Civilization". Our production team, let’s work together to create a beautiful new world, a bright future, a virtual universe that is derived from reality and is higher than reality!

"In this way, even if one day, our child, a certain brand new virtual life form is really born in "Civilization". When it awakens the first ray of self-awareness and opens its eyes for the first time, what it sees is such a The warm, kind, and beautiful new world, it will regard the order and laws of this world as natural truth, as the real'humanity', as something worthy of inheritance and protection!

"Understand, you guys, whether it will become a'bear-child civilization' depends on us, and it depends on what each of us does in the real and virtual worlds!

"This is my point of view. On the scale of tens of thousands of years, the virtual sub-civilization based on the crystal brain and the spirit web will be born. The only question is whether it was born in the Federation, the Empire or the Holy League! If it is born in the Empire Or Shengmeng, it has a high probability that it will grow into the "bear child civilization" that Professor Xie is worried about, and destroy all of us.

"Since it can't be stopped, we can only find ways to let it be born in the Federation first, and use the Federation's "Dao Xin" to enlighten it and make it the next generation of "virtual cultivation civilization"!

"We often say that the war between the Federation, the Empire, and the Holy League is not just for the hegemony of the Xinghai Sea, but also for the ‘Great Controversy’ of the concept of human evolution.

"So, who bred the ‘virtual sub-civilization’, and which power will it inherit the spirit and spirit of the next generation’s ‘federation’, ‘empire’ or ‘holy alliance’?

"This may be the ultimate manifestation of the so-called'Great Dao Controversy'!

"The birth of the virtual sub-civilization is not a matter of overnight. This'ultimate avenue battle' is very likely to last for hundreds of years, thousands of years or even longer, but the starting point of everything is at this moment and is controlled by you. on!

"Join us, join "Civilization", thanks Daoyou, and all classmates! "Civilization" needs your help, the Federation needs your help, and the future needs your help. "Son of Mankind", the child civilization we will eventually be born, Need your selfless help!"
