40,000 Years of Cultivation

"You seem to be in pain, does it really matter?"

Li Yao cautiously probed, "Just now in the combat meeting, you mentioned the words of the puppet king, "Do you know that you are under control?" What does it mean?

"Also, when I searched for the information on'Black Wind King Li Yao' and the damage he caused on the Black Fort Star, I found some unusual information, Shengguang Academy, Chu Zhiling, Chu Zhiyun...it seemed to be with the major What about these things, do you know?"

Chu Zhixiao remained silent, and drew a cigarette almost to his finger, before squeezing out the glowing cigarette butt.

She rolled over and got off the window sill, knelt down in front of Li Yao on one knee, and looked at him carefully.

Li Yao suddenly became nervous, thinking that there was a flaw in himself.

"The damage to the memory module is serious."

Chu Zhixiao said, "Have you forgotten everything that I explained to you?"

Li Yao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "What does the major mean? I don't know. I just feel that everyone in the Yasha team, including the major, is very...painful, as if someone bullied you, and that person Not the puppet king.

"The major used to stay in the Holy Light Academy. It seems that it is not as simple as cultivating the Purifier. Is there anyone who has bullied the major? Humph, I will protect the major and never let you be a bad guy. bully!"

Chu Zhixiao was stunned for a long time, and a bitter smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, Porco."

She pressed her forehead to the cold shell of the Spider Chariot, and whispered, "You are still the same as you used to be. Every time you severely damage the memory chip in a fierce battle, you will ask the same question and can't wait to protect me.

"Yes, I did a lot of things in the Holy Light Academy, and maybe I also experienced some pain, but...most of the things, I have forgotten, and there is no bad guy who deliberately bullied me."

"I do not understand."

Li Yao said, "If there are no bad guys to bully you, why do you suffer so much?"

"Some things are difficult to explain to you."

Chu Zhixiao looked at the smooth mirror-like shell of the spider chariot, reflecting his distorted self, startled, "We live in a misty and enchanting world. In this world, order is the most important thing, only Absolute order can enable everyone to survive peacefully and harmoniously.

"In order to defend the precious peace and harmony, and to protect the sacred order from being destroyed by evil spirits, some people have to stand up, endure great pain, make great sacrifices, receive the blessings of the gods, and become the first in the dark. One and the last line of defense, fighting against monsters that ordinary people can't imagine. This is my duty and my destiny. Can you understand?"

"I do not know."

Li Yao said, "But why must it be a major?"

"If it's not me, who should it be?"

Chu Zhixiao smiled and said, "In fact, there is nothing'should' be who, if it weren't for me to bear this pain, there would be a second person, maybe my brothers and sisters, if no one would bear it. If you are unwilling to fight for order with such pain, the sacred order will collapse suddenly, and the originally orderly "soldier bee" and "worker bee" will become "disillusioned", "fanatic" and "corpse cannibals". Ghost', that kind of world is a hundred times worse than it is now!

"So, since this is my destiny, no matter how painful and difficult, I can only grit my teeth to hold on, and cannot shirk this sad responsibility to the next ‘killing goddess’, that’s all."

"what……"

Li Yao's heart was ups and downs, and he didn't know what to say, "It turns out that the major has a clear picture of his past. I thought you forgot a lot of things, even your own forgotten!"

"No, I clearly remember that I went through many times of'purification' and cleared a lot of memory."

Chu Zhixiao pointed to her temple and said, "Did you know that the human brain has the function of clearing memories regularly, and most people forget 99% of their lives. This is a kind of... soulful self? With the protection mechanism, no one can carry forward every minute and every second of the past. Those who suffer from "hypermemia" and remember everything in the past are all living in extreme pain, like the deepest hell.

"For a special professional like me, there is nothing wrong with cleaning up memory regularly. I know who I am, what my mission is, and knowing that because of my sacrifice, countless people live in peace and harmony. enough.",

"Major..."

Li Yao really didn't know how to convince such Chu Zhixiao.

Think about it, too, the two negative examples before Chu Zhixiao, no matter what the puppet king’s approach or the true human empire’s approach is, there is nothing attractive at all. Compared with these dark and evil forces, the Holy League "Quiet, Harmony, Order" is really not that bad!

A brighter, more splendid and beautiful ideal country—the country of the cultivators must be used to ignite the fire of hope in Chu Zhixiao's heart!

"If there is a country where there are no demons and evil spirits, everyone can be free and happy."

Li Yao deliberately said, "If the major could live in such a country without having to bear so many bad responsibilities, he would definitely be happier than he is now!"

Chu Zhixiao smiled slightly, made a gesture, activated her portable crystal brain, drew an intricate rune in the void, extracted a new document, and entered the main control crystal brain of the spider chariot.

"Such an ideal country exists, that is-the country of cultivators."

Chu Zhixiao whispered, "It's just that such a beautiful country can only exist in ideals. If it is implemented, it will only trigger disasters on a larger level."

The five words "country of cultivators" made Li Yao's soul cool.

He thought his identity had been exposed, or the existence of the Star Federation had been discovered.

However, after carefully reviewing the files transferred by Chu Zhixiao, it was discovered that the "country of cultivation" referred to by Chu Zhixiao had nothing to do with the Xingyao Federation.

This document records a project called "Eternal Light".

That's something... Li Yao can't say anything, and can only call it a "humanity experiment" for the time being.

The Holy League is more inclined to "starship civilization" than the empire and federation. There are many ignorant "soldier bees" and "worker bees" who live on a certain starship all their lives. The closed starship is all of them. The world, as long as the first generation begins to obliterate their memories, and input false information from the outside, you can deceive them in whatever environment and history they are in.

As a result, in addition to battleships, transport ships, and mining ships, there are hundreds of such unique "experimental ships" in the Saint League fleet, which have been drifting in the sea for hundreds of years, setting various Such "initial conditions" specifically look at how the humans on board evolve their little "starship civilization".

For example, on some experimental starships, they will deliberately lead them to the edge of the Pangu universe, where there is no darkness of human population and resources. Observe what people on these starships do in extreme situations of desperation.

There are also some experimental starships, which maintain 50% of the minimum resource supply all year round, and conduct research on the living conditions of human beings under extremely scarce resources.

There are also some starships with normal supply of resources, but the ratio of men to women on the crew is 100 to 1, or 1 to 100, to test the evolution of human society in the case of extremely gender imbalance.

Another very interesting experimental project is called "Doomsday Lone Ship". All the crew on board this starship are captured by the empire, and after they are brainwashed, they are convinced that the true human empire has been completely defeated by the Covenant Alliance and occupied by the Holy Alliance. In the entire Pangu universe, they are "the last hope of human civilization."

This "Last Hope" was drifting in the sea of ​​stars, and occasionally some Saint Alliance starships were arranged for them to "smash", so as to obtain certain resources and struggle to survive.

The "Doomsday Lone Ship" project has been implemented for more than 370 years. The first batch of brainwashed imperial captives have long since died. Now most of the crew are fourth or fifth generation inheritors. They treat themselves It is the "last imperial man" who firmly believes and believes that he is fighting for the dignity of human civilization. As a result, countless thrilling and bizarre stories have occurred. These stories have been transformed into a large number of intricate experimental data. The system was transmitted to the minds of the five supreme masters—Li Yao didn't know what the purpose was.

The "Eternal Light" project and the "Doomsday Lone Ship" project have the same effect.

When the first batch of brainwashed experiment subjects boarded the super-giant starship "Eternal Light" in a muddle, they were told that they came from a bright and beautiful country of cultivation, and all the habitable planets outside were in one place. Annihilated in the devastating war, even the vast expanse of stars are full of deadly radiation and storms. Only the interior of the "Eternal Light" is safe, and their ancestors also carried them when they boarded the ship. A large number of materials and resource recycling facilities, so that they have a steady stream of resources-forever.

Under the inexhaustible and inexhaustible resources, the "Eternal Light" has become a perfect paradise. Everyone on the ship does not have to worry about survival. Everyone has cultivated a positive, bright and just. Naturally, there have been many cultivators who are pure and flawless in their hearts. The avenue of cultivation is the mainstream of society. There are almost no status and class divisions, and there are few contradictions and struggles. All people live happily together. It's like living in... illusory dreams.

The purpose of this experiment, I am afraid, is to study how much resources are needed to maintain a theoretically very beautiful country of cultivators, and whether such a beautiful country of cultivators has self-improvement, continuous progress, and continuous exploration of human potential. Ability?
