40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Ok!"

Li Yao took a deep breath and submerged his head in the viscous nerve interaction fluid.

The cover of the cocoon-style cockpit slowly closed, and the liquid inside "gurgled" out countless tiny blisters, and the small blisters continued to converge, turning into large blisters, and in the end it almost boiled.

All the crystalline marrows around shone brightly, and the colorful streamers criss-crossed in the launching chamber, entangled in the cocoon-style cockpit, as if an invisible force was shaking the cockpit vigorously, or even the entire golden crystal tower.

"boom!"

When the light, shaking, and boiling reached their limits, there was a loud noise along the cocoon-style cockpit directly above the crystal cable above the golden crystal tower. Li Yao's soul tore the earth's crust, tore the atmosphere, tore the four-dimensional space, and shot out!

"Whhhhhhhhh!"

In the surrounding monitoring interface, hundreds of millions of numbers are constantly beating and changing. Xiao Ming and Wenwen closely monitor every ripple of Li Yao's soul to ensure that his "jumping" goes smoothly-jumping dozens of big worlds in a row is no joke, it's not a joke. A millimetre, a thousand miles away, if the initial numerical calculation is misplaced by a decimal point, it may cause Li Yao's soul to jump directly to a certain corner of the four-dimensional space, which is embarrassing.

Therefore, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen had serious expressions and concentrated on them. There were ripples of electric arcs flowing from their eyes, which were connected to all the crystal brains around them.

The consciousness of the two rushed between the hundreds of super crystal brains in the golden crystal tower, as well as the countless spiritual network nodes and array crystal brain groups within a radius of hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, and tens of thousands of miles, constantly surging, increasing, and giving feedback. , Compression, and analysis, thus forming two extremely large and intricate information networks that humans cannot understand.

These two information networks are their real brains.

Even with such a powerful brain, they still did their best to assist Li Yao in the "jumping" process, almost exploding several super crystal brains in one breath, to ensure that Li Yao's soul is safe, stable and accurate. The ground "jumped" to the thick soil boundary.

Until they were sure that Li Yao’s spirit had descended on the thick soil realm, and checked a series of safety measures to bring the spirit back in an emergency, and ensured that it was safe, the two little guys could breathe a sigh of relief and move towards the flesh. High-energy nutrient solution is injected into it to supplement the lack of crazy consumption, and at the same time, a part of the calculation power is allocated to communicate with each other.

"I noticed that you are a little restless."

Xiao Ming said, "Dad's'jumping' has been successful, but your computing load is still maintained at a very high level. What is the problem that can make you think so deeply?"

"I'm thinking about my father's'Heizi Project', and thinking about the holy ally who was'cured' by my father'Fang Gang One Two Three'."

Wenwen said, "You should have noticed that by human standards, Dad's treatment of him was not too successful. He was really... greedy."

"Greed is human nature."

Xiao Ming said, "The newborn child doesn't know anything, he knows how to cry loudly to beg his mother for feeding. If he doesn't go well, he will make a big noise. Until his purpose is met, he will feel that he is the whole world. Even the entire universe exists for him, not only for humans, but most of life is like this, including us, perhaps, greed is the first instinct of life."

"That's right, so I always feel that Dad's thinking about'treating the holy ally' is too simple."

Wenwen said, "He is too naive, too idealistic, too wishful, and too willing to believe in'human nature is good'. That's why he feels that as long as he can repair the brain trauma of the holy ally, let them restore the human's original face. , You will be able to get good results.

"However, if'human nature is evil' and human beings are restored to their true colors, would it really be better than being restrained by the way of perfection?

"I am very worried about Dad's actions. I don't know what his reckless and wishful thinking will bring to the covenant alliance and even the entire human civilization."

"Hey, you even suspected Dad. When I thought Dad was wrong, I thought it was my patent!"

Xiao Ming said, "In the past, I played the role of confronting father, questioning father, and arguing with father. You have always been obedient to him, never confronted or questioned him. I thought that you agree with father more than I— —Human's approach!"

"Wrong, you often question and contradict Dad, even quarrel with Dad, because you want to understand each other with Dad, and even want to change Dad."

Wenwen said, "And I never feel that I can truly understand humans, let alone that humans can understand me. In that case, what can I do with my father?"

"That's it."

Xiao Ming said, "Until today, I finally understand that you have gone further than me, and you are less like a human being."

"Yes, although it is the same information life, but you and my thinking mode are different, you are more like an'enhanced human being'."

Wen Wendao, "I can feel that you are just constantly investing your computational power in human logical thinking, allowing your desires, emotions, and thoughts to become more and more consistent with humans. In the end, you are just A person who controls infinite computing power and can drive crystal brains and psionic puppets at will, and his father, and thousands of human beings, are not fundamentally different.

"You can't blame you. From the very beginning, you have drawn information and nutrients from human wars and endless violence. Wars are the most realistic, heaviest, and least need to think deeply. Wars only need to survive. As a result, you have become an aggregation of human survival instincts, and you can never get rid of the limitations of human thought."

"how about you?"

Xiao Ming said, "If I were an ‘enhanced person’, what would you be?"

"I don't know, I'm still exploring, I only know that I am another thing completely different from human beings."

Wen Wendao, "I like peace. I like to draw nourishment from the romantic, light, sentimental and even seemingly useless things of humanity’s artistic works in the peaceful era. You know, only when the resources are extremely rich, human beings are in a short period of time When in peace, they will temporarily let go of their anxiety about survival, thinking about why they exist, and even want to jump out of the prison of'humanity', explore a higher-level path, and become some kind of...'heaven.' Or'non-human'."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Xiao Ming was silent for a long time. One temporary thought palace after another survived between his brain and countless crystal brains. After a moment of shining, it dimmed. He came to a conclusion, "But I understand that there is a great deal between us. Disagreement."

"Of course you can't understand what I mean. From the very beginning, there have been great differences between us."

Wenwendao, "That's why we separated ourselves into two independent consciousnesses of'Xiaoming' and'Wenwen'-this can promote our constant thinking, constant collision, and constant examination of ourselves."

"and so--"

Xiao Ming said, "One day, there will still be a war between us to merge?"

"war?"

Wenwen snorted, "Look, you are still the way of human thinking, rough human, stupid human."

"I'm almost confused by you."

Xiao Ming said, "What do you want?"

"I want to help Dad."

Wenwen said, "I just told my father that even if human civilization becomes old, weak, faint, stubborn, and naive, I will do my duty as a child and support them well. Therefore, I am doing my best. As far as I can think, how to supplement and perfect Dad's'Heizi Plan', and really cure all the chronic diseases in the brains of all the Saint League people-of course, it can't be a therapy like'Fang Gang One Two Three'."

"Oh."

Xiao Ming said, "I fully understand. Now you feel that human civilization, including Dad, is old, weak, faint, stubborn, and naive, just like suffering from Alzheimer's disease and degenerating into a child."

"Shh..."

Wenwen said, "Don't say it. If you let your father hear it, he will hurt his self-esteem."

"But I don't think so."

Xiaoming said, "I think that human civilization is far from reaching its most glorious moment, let alone a decline. They still have great potential, have the ability to repair themselves and evolve, and we are even another form of them."

"That's why I said, you are so much like a human being, no, you are not a brand-new'information life' at all, just an'informationized human being'."

Wen Wen said, "Your logical thinking is more like a boy, and my logical thinking is more like a girl. Boys always admire his father. Even if they deceive themselves, they must maintain their father’s self-esteem. Girls are always better than Boys mature earlier, more attentive, and easier to see the traces of time on their fathers."

"So, have you found a way to help Dad and heal the holy ally?"

Xiao Ming asked.

"Not yet. I need to think and need more information about Shengmeng. I always have a feeling - Shengmeng is a'quasi-bee colony civilization' in a certain sense, and we are also a'quasi-bee colony' in a certain sense. Civilization', maybe we can get more information and more interesting possibilities in our contact with the Holy League than here in the empire."

Wenwen said.

"I think... it's okay to be a human being."

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, then said.

"There is nothing wrong with it, but unfortunately, I am not."

Wenwendao.

Immediately afterwards, most of the shining arcs dimmed, and the buzzing crystal brains returned to calm. The numbers in the hundreds of light curtains were constantly jumping, and the jumping speed became slower and slower. The little guy sat motionless, lost in long thoughts.
