40,000 Years of Cultivation

This time, Li Yao really had a shuddering feeling. I always felt that the picture described by the teacher was too powerful.

But then again...

Li Yao remembered his childhood, in the magic treasure tomb of Tianyuan Realm and Floating City.

People living in the tombs of magic weapons, struggling in blood and darkness, such as "fat dragons", do they prefer to live in the garbage dump of the material world, exist as a "garbage bug", or live How about living a better life in some kind of virtual world, uh, "spiritual world"?

Perhaps Professor Mo Xuan is right. The material world in which mankind lives, dust-like planets, is too small, too crowded, and too poor in resources, and will never be able to meet the development needs of human civilization.

Professor Mo Xuan raised his voice and said, "Of course this is just my imagination.

"In the distant future--perhaps a few million years later, the perfect form of human civilization in my ideals should be dominated by spirit races.

"At that time, human cities and homes on the material level ceased to exist. Even if they existed occasionally, they were used as historical relics, museums, and civilization symbols. Most people lived in the form of spirit races. The spiritual world, and the material basis of the spiritual world, is the super crystal brains. These super crystal brains, together with the chips that store human souls, are stored deep underground on various planets in indestructible permanent warehouses.

"Because there is almost no need for air and water, we can spread to various planets. We don't have to work hard to find habitable planets with atmospheres like we do now.

"At that time, the super crystal brain centers buried deep in the ground were the brand-new "city" of human civilization. All people lived in the spiritual world, living a relaxed, comfortable, conflict-free and absolutely peaceful life, engaged in some theories and Intellectual work, as well as countless artificial intelligences, things like "grandfather" serve us as slaves.

"Of course, of course, our involvement with the material world cannot be completely separated. Therefore, at that time, in addition to the spirits, everyone also has a lot of'shells', and they can transmit the spirits into these'shells' and enter material world.

"These'shells' come in a variety of different poses, and they can be pure human flesh and blood, they can also be highly genetically modulated monsters, and of course they can also be spirits made from super alloys. Mechanical prosthesis.

"Even, the'shell' can completely break through the limits of human form, becoming a giant mechanical spider form hundreds of meters high, a starship form thousands of meters high, and a base form covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers. able to control!

"At that time, even an ordinary miner can have luxury villas, private gardens, and hunting grounds in the spirit world, and there are hundreds of artificial intelligence servants to serve him, and he has everything he wants.

"The job responsibilities he has to perform is to spend some time every day to transfer his soul to a certain'mining ship' and remotely control this mining ship to mine on the resource planet.

"The ore recovered is sent to the base shells of other'smelting experts' for refining, and then taken away by the shells of other'crystal brain experts', to continue to strengthen our crystal brain center and build our' city'.

"The stronger the crystal brain and the higher the computing power, the more real, complex, and expansive the spiritual world, so that larger mining ships and stronger starships can be refined to explore a wider world!

"Don't you think that such a civilization is the real cosmic civilization, and only has a chance to figure out the truth of the universe?"

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole looked at each other, and they both saw the deep worries hidden in each other's eyes.

Ling Xiaole knew that the senior management of the Secret Sword Bureau must be paying attention to their conversation, and said boldly: "Professor, I, I think you seem to be a little...crazy!"

"Crazy?"

Professor Mo Xuan laughed weirdly, and suddenly several different pictures appeared behind him.

One is in the gurgling and bubbling mud on the primordial planet, and a few small fish use their fins to climb ashore with difficulty.

Another pair of ugly apes surrounded the blazing trees hit by thunder and lightning, watching the flames shine, and shouting.

Professor Mo Xuan said: "In the process of life developing from the ocean to the land, the small fish that first climbed ashore may also be considered extremely crazy by their companions. Also, the apes who initially decided to violate their instincts and touch the flames will also Being considered crazy by my companions; replacing fists with stones, replacing minions with spears, building houses with branches and rocks, and being the first to eat crabs...These are all extremely crazy decisions, and countless crazy decisions have merged together. Created us today, today's human civilization!

"We are cultivators, people who stand at the peak of intelligence and thinking. If even we are trapped in mediocre daily life, and our thinking and moral standards are limited to ordinary people's standards, how can civilization improve?

"Do you hope that our human civilization will remain the same, after millions or tens of millions of years, still the current struggling appearance?

"Yes, I know that my theory is still extremely immature, and it is very likely to be wrong, but if you have to be 100% correct to be eligible to throw it out, then no theory will be born!

"This is the reason why I am willing to share this theory with fellow daoists. If you can't accept it, please think about it carefully, point out my mistakes, help me improve, and even completely deny your own ideas!"

"We did not completely deny you, Professor Mo Xuan."

Li Yaodao, "As a cutting-edge theory, for the imagination of the distant future, any weird ideas are understandable. I am even more curious. After you have germinated such a fanatical idea, what have you done? Did you act?"

"Of course, of course I have to put it into action. I am a craftsman. Compared to talking about soldiers on paper, actual action is what I am most passionate about!"

Professor Mo Xuan stared deeply into Li Yao and Ling Xiaole's eyes, licked the lollipop, and said deeply, "When this idea germinated in my mind, and it was out of control like a wildfire, I immediately—— "

Li Yao held his breath: "How is it?"

Professor Mo Xuan categorically said: "Report this extremely crazy idea to the government."

Li Yao: "..."

Ling Xiaole: "..."

Professor Mo Xuan asked strangely: "Is there any problem? This idea is so crazy, dangerous and extreme, even in terms of the current ethics, it has a hint of evil, but it is true, it is very likely to be a human being. The future of civilization!

"Of course I have to report to the government, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives, and I have to convene experts in various fields to discuss together, gather the theory into a book, and submit it to the country!"

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is!"

Professor Mo Xuan frowned and said: "That's not the case, what else? After I have this crazy idea, I should secretly recruit a group of frenzied gangsters to build a large-scale underground base in secret, and plan various things in it. The sneaky conspiracy, at a certain critical moment, jumped out of the dark corner, vainly trying to change the day and realize my evil and crazy ambitions?"

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole looked at each other, and then they nodded sharply.

Professor Mo Xuan sighed helplessly: "So, for us researchers of cutting-edge theory and'futurology', those unfounded fantasy novels and third-rate entertainment products are the biggest enemies! Or In other words, human beings’ fear of the unknown is our biggest obstacle!

"Of course, it’s no wonder that you have such absurd ideas. In the past 100 years of the Federation’s history, there have indeed been countless such crazy careerists. Both homeland and civilization have brought serious disasters.

"Such as Yan Beibei, Xiao Xuance, Youquan ancestors, Lu Zui and others, are they all the same?

"Xiao Xuance, who wanted to set off the immortal cultivator's chaos, was solved by me and Li Yao together. To this day, I can still recall his crazy and ugly face at the time. How could I repeat the same mistakes!

"Don't worry, our spirit races are all patriotic. We are all proud of our human identity. Many of them are heroes in battle. There are also firefighters who sacrificed to save innocent people in the fire, as well as children who have fallen into the water. For those who have lost their bodies and act bravely, we will definitely not do things that harm the interests of the people and endanger national security.

"What's more, in the final analysis, what motive do we have to engage in conspiracies? You know, we have no conflict of interests with the human race or the monster race at all, because the resources we need are fundamentally different!

"The Federation and the Empire have reasons for war, because everyone is a human race, and they all need the same resources, the same air, sunlight, water, and soil.

"Similarly, the Human Race and the Monster Race also have reasons for war, because everyone is a carbon-based life, and they also need the above things.

"But the spirits don’t need these at all. They don’t need air, water, and land. We only need a highly-developed unified spirit net, the center of the crystal brain buried deep in the ground, and some'shells' that can move in the material world. Sure! And these things, we contribute our wisdom and strength, can be easily obtained, so what reason do we have to betray our motherland, relatives and past selves, and conflict with the human race and the monster race?

"At least I can't find the slightest reason. The two of you can help me think about it, and see what is the benefit of a so-called conspiracy to the development of the spirit race under the current limitations of crystal brain and spirit net technology. ?"
