40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Your idea may be correct, but it is too idealistic, and it is impossible to realize it."

The voice faintly said, "The Third World War has caused severe trauma to our civilization. Even a hundred years later, this trauma is only a scab, with pus and sores in it, and it has not really healed—perhaps Will never heal.

"The whole mankind is only under the threat of extinction, holding their noses and reluctantly uniting together, how can it be possible to use just a few decades of'death education' to turn them into noble, pure and selfless people, Let the hope of survival be given to the children of former enemies?

"And those high-minded, high-minded dignitaries will only use the high-sounding guise and brilliant banners to let the common people die for their benefit. On the other hand, is it possible?

"These powerful and wealthy people think that all the immigrant starships and star sea navigation technology are developed by them, and it is absolutely impossible to give up the living space on immigrant starships to the children of ‘dirty and humble’ civilians.

"You said who is eligible to escape according to age, but the social order at that time is far from restoring the stability of a century ago. The control of the Earth Council is relatively weak, and it is impossible to conduct a large-scale census. Can it be distinguished by appearance? age?

"Even in the bone age test, there is a lot of room for upper and lower hands. People with power and money can always come up with various methods. An 18-year-old powerful child and a 16-year-old civilian child, who do you think will eventually become the immigrant star? Is it more likely to ship?

"What's more, even if everything is advanced in accordance with the most idealized expectations, a group of ignorant and ignorant children and young people have been selected to board the immigrant starship and become the new hope of our civilization. Do you think they will be able to build Will a new era of'justice, kindness, light' come out?

"You really underestimate the coldness and cruelty that lies deep in us, or the genes of all carbon-based intelligent life.

"In our literary history, there was once a book called Lord of the Flies, about a group of six to twelve-year-old children living on an isolated island due to a plane crash. At first they lived in harmony, but soon exploded with extreme humanity. A story of evil, killing each other, and complete destruction-even without such a story, just looking at the ignorant and ignorant children can smile and tear the wings of a dragonfly, use a magnifying glass to roast the living ants, and you will know how terrible the inherent evil is. .

"If your idea really comes true, it will only turn immigrant starships into **** islands of cannibalism, and cultivate groups of ‘lord of the flies’ hovering in the sea of ​​stars."

Li Yao was a little dissatisfied, trying to distinguish, but his voice continued: "Yes, I know what you want to say, you want to say that there are still a large number of women on the immigrant starship and fully automatic and self-disciplined educational robots, enough to take care of future generations. Responsibility.

"However, I want to tell you that the sociologists and psychologists at the time conducted a lot of research and experiments. In this closed and unknown environment, women's performance is not much better than children's. In terms of estrogen and hormones, Under stimulation, they will even degenerate into more terrifying mother beasts.

"The so-called'automatic and self-disciplined educational robot' is something similar to artificial intelligence. If we put a lot of constraints on it so that it can absolutely not harm children and can only impose painless and itchy'punishments', then it is very Children will soon see through its bottom line and ignore its painstaking education; if we allow artificial intelligence to do anything to children, there is no way to prevent it from turning children into its slaves and being taken over by artificial intelligence. The magpie's nest has become a tragedy at the core of our civilization.

"In short, your idea, we have considered it very carefully and thoroughly, the result of countless deductions, there is still no operability."

Li Yao pondered for a long time and said: "Then, when the lottery is used, everything is based on luck, completely random-didn't you say that in the birth and rise of a civilization,'luck' is the most critical factor? Then let A group of lucky people, let's continue the "good luck" of civilization!"

"You still don't understand."

The voice said deeply, "Any prior open, bottom-up selection method will not work, because the unsuccessful person will never accept his own destruction calmly-even a kind-hearted, noble, moral and sage can be determined. Sacrificing himself, what about his children, his children, his babbled daughter, and his infant son? Can he personally kill the children's hope of survival?

"There is always shady, there are always private frauds, there are always people who escape the selection in various ways and board the'vip' channel that leads directly to the immigrant starship. The war, radiation, and plague of a hundred years have completely separated the rich and the civilian class, regardless of the rich. How "just, open, and fair" the selection we claim is, it is impossible to win the slightest trust of the civilian class. The end result is that the day after the "escape list" is announced, the entire planet will fall into endless riots.

"Tester, tell me, in the long history of your new human civilization, hasn't a planet been hit by meteorites, solar storms and other natural disasters? Could these planets be extremely calm when faced with natural disasters? , Retreat in an orderly manner?"

Li Yao was speechless.

The voice said nothing wrong. The human civilization in the Pangu universe has also encountered a similar situation, that is, when Li Yao just left his hometown and rushed into the stars, he came to the "Flying Star Realm".

The aboriginals of the Flying Star Realm also encountered meteorite attacks five thousand years ago. As a result, the meteorite attack was still for a while, and the entire Flying Star Realm split into the "Homeland School" and the "Starry Sky School", attacking each other and even fighting each other. Today, five thousand years later, the resulting rift still profoundly changed the appearance of the entire flying star realm, so that the human nature is extremely fragile, and the celestial demons and cultivators outside the territory are popular among the dark stars.

You know, even five thousand years ago, the flying star realm had a very mature psionic industrial system and a considerable amount of spar energy, and even a large number of starships left over from the Xinghai Empire era-and the technology for manufacturing these starships, They could even reach the Pangu civilization along the way, that is to say, the flying star people at that time had quite powerful stellar navigation capabilities, and the situation was much better than the "one poor and two white" people on the Earth.

Even the Flying Stars cannot escape the extreme chaos before the catastrophe, how could the Primordial Earthlings be spared?

Therefore, the voice is right. Any public selection made publicly in advance will not be effective, but will awaken the devil who is dormant in everyone's heart.

"Then—"

Li Yao felt that his voice echoing in the sea of ​​consciousness was a little hoarse, "What should I do?"

"Bottom-up selection is impossible. Only top-down selection can succeed."

The voice said, "In other words, there is no'open, fair, and just' selection at all. Instead, a highly centralized iron-blooded strongman chooses passengers who meet his standards according to his own will. Most people Flee the earth without knowing it."

"what!"

Li Yao's spirit shrank suddenly, "How is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

The voice said, "A series of technologies such as starship refining, starship navigation, and human hibernation are all in the hands of experts and scholars, and most of the resources are supplied by the rich and powerful. Opportunity is not qualified to know the progress of the entire project, and it is impossible to know when the immigrant starship will be completed and set sail. Therefore, it is enough to ensure that a small group of people involved in the "Xinghai Immigration Project" can board the starship.

"I am very fortunate. The experts, scholars, rich and powerful, engineers, workers and even soldiers who work day and night around the'Xinghai Immigration Project' are the smartest and strongest individuals in our civilization. They have the most hope to continue the entire civilization in Xinghai. Carry forward in the depths.

"You can rebuke us for our coldness, you can ridicule our shamelessness, and you can even grieve for the fate of those innocent people, but we have no choice. This is the only solution."

The voice said, the thousands of choices presented to Li Yao were either shattered and annihilated, or turned into a lifeless gray-white, only this option was left, still blooming with dim golden light.

"This--"

Li Yao gritted his teeth, his soul moved a little anxiously, spreading out circles of uncertain ripples.

As expected, he is not Jin Tuyi, even inferior to Boss Bai and Li Jialing.

If it is Jin Tuyi, no, there is no need for Jin Tuyi. As long as people like Boss Bai, Li Jialing, Long Yangjun and Li Linghai do not hesitate to choose the only "correct answer", right?

If Lu Qingchen and the Scarlet Heart Demon also break through this level, they will not even make a mistake. From the very beginning, they have chosen the "top-down, concealing the truth" approach, choosing to bring a small group of powerful, rich and elite. Did they escape?

Only Li Yao, faced with this "only choice", was upset and unable to make a decision.

The voice was silent, as if waiting patiently for Li Yao's choice.

Even when Li Yao was in a dilemma, his voice proactively said: "Wait a minute."

Li Yao was startled slightly: "What's the matter?"

"One tester failed."

The voice calmly said: "We must deal with him first."

Before Li Yao could react, the left half of his vision showed a semi-transparent state, and he suddenly saw the Pangu tribe's strongest "Miezhong Dao" floating not far from him.

The commander of the remnants of the Pangu tribe at the end of the prehistoric war is considered to be the foremost powerhouse in the Pangu universe. Regardless of wisdom, will or combat power, they are all outstanding. Even if Li Yao activates the full combat power of the distraction phase, he may not be able to compete with him. Confrontation head-on.

But now, his terrible appearance can only make Li Yao think of eight words-"Man is a knife, I am a fish"!
