Chapter 1919: Survivor bias
Li Yao thought for a long time, but couldn't refute it. He just said: "Perhaps it is the Pangu clan who awakened in the Kunlun ruins. It left me too deeply impressed. It is really hard for me to imagine the weakness of these giants. Compared to human beings, they are simply invincible."
"This is the so-called'survivor deviation'."
Long Yangjun said indifferently, "It is very likely that the Pangu tribe we can see now are all examples. They themselves are the strongest among the strongest, while ordinary members of the Pangu civilization are far less powerful.
"It's like, if our expedition team is used as a sample to analyze, we will find that the ratio of Dan and Nasal Infants is scary, close to 100%, but it cannot be said that all humans are at least in the Dan Dan stage. The strong, right?
"The principle of the Pangu tribe is the same. Have you ever thought that the place where the corpse of the Pangu tribe was found in the past was not a battlefield, a secret base, or a laboratory like this.
"The people who are eligible to appear in this kind of place must be soldiers, strong men, and senior researchers from the Pangu tribe. These people will have to go through hundreds of thousands of years of screening. Those who are less powerful have long been selected. The ashes are gone, and there is no scum left. How could we find it?
"After layers of screening and the test of prolonged erosion, in the end, there are still basically intact corpses, and even those that can be resurrected. What is it that is not the strong among the strong?
"In a nutshell, only those who are strong enough can preserve the whole corpse for us to study. The vast majority of those that are not strong enough have long been annihilated in the long river of time. This is the'survivor bias'."
Li Yao was skeptical: "Really?"
"Yup."
Long Yangjun said, "If you still can't understand, let's give another example, are there too virtual warriors around you?"
Li Yao nodded and looked at the three shining, but dumb, new-generation Taixu soldiers in front of him: "Yes, so what?"
Long Yangjun said: "With your current strength, you can easily blast one hundred or eighty Taixu warriors, right? But this only represents your personal strength. Most ordinary people want to fight with one. The most advanced Taixu warriors are still quite strenuous to contend, not to mention the old and weak women and children, they are simply killed by the Taixu warriors.
"Suppose one day human civilization is destroyed, and Taixu warriors and crystal brains have reproduced a new kind of'mechanical civilization.' These explorers of mechanical civilization have dug up your'Three Realms Supreme, Vulture Li Yao' old man. Corpse, extracted your cells for analysis, and discovered the amazing energy contained in it that has not been completely annihilated after hundreds of thousands of years. From this, it is concluded that human beings are a powerful race that they absolutely cannot contend. Is the conclusion ridiculous?
"And do you think that if human civilization really perishes one day, whose corpse has a higher chance of being preserved, is it a super power like you and me, or an ordinary company employee, elementary school teacher, or waiter in a restaurant? "
Li Yao looked at the three Taixu soldiers who were coordinating tactical instructions and preparing to enter the "embryo warehouse" to explore, and muttered: "You somewhat convinced me."
Long Yangjun smiled and said: "In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. There is also obvious evidence that for the Pangu tribe, human beings are actually quite dangerous."
Li Yaoqi said, "What is that?"
"It's the "Three Principles of Origin" itself!"
Long Yang Jundao, "In your eyes, the'Three Principles of Origin' are the restrictions imposed by the Pangu tribe on human beings, a kind of seal and bondage, but you think about it, under what circumstances will you be able to Impose restrictions and restraints on a tool, and seal it up?
"If it is a random hammer, axe, etc., it definitely does not need to be restricted or restrained. Only those extremely dangerous, which may be able to bite the owner at any time, but are too versatile. They have long become the cornerstones of civilization and are tools that cannot be destroyed. , Will be banned and restrained.
"Hehe, I feel more and more that the Pangu people's attitude toward humans may be the same as the attitude of humans toward crystal brains and spirit nets.
"Humans created the crystal brain, but the crystal brain runs faster than most human brains. It can control various steel and iron bones and perform difficult tasks that ordinary people cannot perform.
"Humans are afraid of crystal brains. In all kinds of weird fantasy works, they have long imagined that crystal brains will one day awaken their consciousness and in turn consume their creators-humans.
"Human beings know this, but still can't do without crystal brain, they can only deceive themselves and set up a series of prohibitions in crystal brain, in an attempt to use this method to stifle the birth of'mechanical civilization, crystal brain civilization.'
"However, there are very few people of insight among human beings who realize that the birth of'mechanical civilization and crystal brain civilization' is inevitable, and actively study it, promote it, and try to make it more controllable. development of.
"Perhaps the Pangu civilization is the same?
"It is true that the Pangu tribe created mankind, but the prosperity of the later period of the Pangu civilization can establish a glorious civilization in three thousand worlds. All of them cannot be separated from the hard work of mankind; to the Pangu civilization, mankind is like Crystal brains, spiritual nets, and psychic puppets are the same as human civilization. There is no way to get rid of them. Once they get rid of, Pangu civilization will be completely destroyed.
"Therefore, Pangu civilization can only be burned into the so-called'Three Principles of Origins' in the depths of the newly born human souls. In your opinion, this is a manifestation of absolute control, but from another perspective, it is not a kind of fear. And helpless?"
Long Yangjun's words caused Li Yao to fall into deep thought, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "So, in your opinion, are human beings a ‘tool’ or a ‘descendant’ of the Pangu civilization?"
"There is no essential difference between the two."
Long Yangjun said, "Pangu civilization is an alliance of thirteen different carbon-based life. When these carbon-based civilizations are highly developed and developed to the extent that they can efficiently use the energy of stars and can modify genes at will, they will condense the thirteen types of carbon. Based on the essence of life, creating a new and unified evolutionary body, as the inheritor of Pangu civilization', this is a natural idea, right?
"Perhaps in the beginning, when they created humans, they were indeed used as ‘tools’, just as when humans first created crystal brains and psionic puppets, they were simply used as tools.
"But with the continuous development of crystal brains and psychic puppets, the emergence of more perfect individuals such as the'Tai Xu Fighting Soldier' reflects how weak the physical strength and computing power of ordinary people are. Then, there are some humans. People, want to get rid of the flesh and blood, and survive in the steel-reinforced iron bones and super crystal brains?
"Look at those ghost repairs. From the appearance point of view, they are completely different from humans in the past. They are more like a combination of crystal brain and machinery. They can be shaped into various strange shapes and various poses, and even completely get rid of the shackles of their bodies. Live in the ling net-but who can say that they are not humans?
"So, the Pangu tribe initially created humans with the purpose of'tools', but soon discovered the infinite potential of mankind, and then developed mankind in the direction of some kind of'carrying down civilization'-this hypothesis, Quite reasonable, right?
"So, the role played by the Nuwa in Pangu civilization is somewhat similar to the role played by Professor Mo Xuan in human civilization! "Since the awakening of human beings is inevitable, and we will never Maybe abandon this vital tool, it is better to take its awakening in our hands, let us be its parents, and it will also regard itself as our children and grandchildren. This is the best result', at that time Perhaps this is what the Nuwa clan thinks, it will conflict with the other members of the Pangu Civilization Alliance, and eventually tear each other completely, right?"
Li Yao said in disbelief: "Such a long story, is it all you just thought of?"
"Yes, this trip to the Pangu Lab is really rewarding!"
There was a faint smile in Long Yangjun's voice, "Although these are all my nonsense and there is not much evidence to support it, but I have a vague hunch that we are very close to the final truth."
After repeated scanning by the puppet war beasts and the Taixu war soldiers, it was confirmed that there were no signs of life activity in the "embryo warehouse", nor any cancerous crabs hovering in the form of spores. Li Yao and others finally stepped in cautiously.
The huge embryo storehouse completely collapsed in the southeast corner, and it was tightly pressed by tens of thousands of tons of rock formations and walls, making it difficult for even the gods of transformation to penetrate.
But Long Yangjun suddenly told Li Yao that she vaguely remembered that there was something else behind.
There are more than a dozen giant soldiers here, it is a real mountain, which can be moved away in three times, five times and two, and a hole in the rock formation that can accommodate the puppet war beasts and the Taixu war soldiers is drilled, not to mention it. under.
As a result of the detection, there really is a lot of space behind the collapsed rock formation.
What’s amazing is that after hundreds of thousands of years have passed, there are still seven or eight huge black cubes floating in the air. The surface is covered with overlapping, thin hair-like geometric patterns. When they encounter the air, Immediately released a faint green light.
There were also hundreds of black cubes that fell to the ground feebly, and the surface was covered with finger-thick spider web cracks, exposing the extremely precise spar components inside.
Li Yao has seen a lot of similar magic weapons in the Kunlun ruins. These are all auxiliary calculation and control tools of the Pangu civilization, similar to the "crystal brain" of human civilization.
It seems that this is the control center that maintains the operation of the entire embryo warehouse.
Dozens of crystal eyes "dropped and slipped" around, and one after another, a faint glow swept through hundreds of fragmented huge corpses. Analyzed from the fragments of armor and weapons, they were all several levels higher than the corpses outside.
And in the two corners facing each other far away, there is actually a lifelike corpse sitting crosswise, shimmering, as if it will be resurrected at any time!
