40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Does your so-called ‘main civilization’ mean maintaining a connection with everyone’s soul and soul at all times?"

Li Yao subconsciously said, "This is crazy!"

"Crazy?"

Gu Wuxin said, "Suppose that a villager living in a dark and ignorant Middle Age, a villager in a closed mountain village has come to the early stage of the information age, seeing so many terminals, media and information interaction platforms, and discovering that people in this era need to understand every day. All the news that happened on the entire planet and even the entire star field and even the entire world, including dozens of celebrity scandals and murders that occurred tens of thousands of miles away—every day, until he died, I think, this ancient Villagers will definitely feel that this era is really crazy.

"Yet you and I know very well that the times are not crazy, and society will not collapse because of too much information. On the contrary, this is the process of history and the inevitable of civilization. You and I are wandering in the sea of ​​information, enjoying it, and There is nothing wrong with it, but take it for granted, right?

"There is a saying-the technology that was born before I was born is part of the ordinary order of the world; the technology that was born when I was young will become a revolutionary product that changes the world; and any technology that was born before I was born will become a revolutionary product that changes the world. The technologies that were born after I entered middle age are all evil and taboo techniques that violate the laws of nature and are subject to divine condemnation.

"Don't you think that your performance is very much like the object of these words?

"Since you can comfortably enjoy all the benefits of the information society, through the terminal, you can discuss problems in real time with friends from another star field, entertain, and exchange your life experiences and emotional changes at this moment-all of this is In the eyes of the ancients, it is an out-and-out witchcraft. Why can't you let go of your mind, break the limitations in your mind, adopt a more tolerant and open attitude, appreciate the higher-level hyper-information society, and join it calmly? ?

"Don't be afraid, and there is no need to be vigilant. Believe me, it is good, and it is great for each of us, including our civilization.

"First of all, connecting the hearts and brains of all people will help gather all the wisdom to think about issues that are vital to civilization and the universe and are at a higher level-due to the limitations of the brain of carbon-based intelligent life. If we maintain the way that each brain calculates and thinks independently, we will never want to crack the higher-level mysteries, such as the truth of the four-dimensional space, the origin and end of the universe, and whether there is more mysterious and weird above the four-dimensional space The five-dimensional, six-dimensional space, and so on.

"These problems can only be solved by condensing the brains of tens of thousands of people to form a ‘super body’.

"Secondly, as I said just now, adding the superbody can suddenly make the life of a carbon-based intelligent life become richer and heavier billions of times, and can give a brilliant color to the otherwise pale and feeble life of hundreds of millions of people, admit it. In any civilized society of carbon-based intelligent life, the lives of most people have no meaning at all. They just live and die in a muddled manner. They are nothing more than beasts that can speak and think they can think. Maybe It's not as cool and cheerful as the beasts! In that case, what's wrong with giving them some color and meaning of life?

"Finally, and most importantly, the super-physical can solve the chronic diseases shared by every carbon-based civilization, can completely end our cannibalism and self-destruction, can completely eliminate the phenomenon of the'chain of suspicion' that exists between different civilizations, and make the entire universe The sea has become a perfect paradise of incomparable harmony and light.

"In the final analysis, why every civilization of carbon-based intelligent life will flourish and decay after it has developed to its peak, which will trigger a cannibalistic civil war and lead to the destruction of civilization? Isn't it because the instinct of gene continuation and diffusion leads to individual possession? The selfish nature, which has turned into infinite greed, the irreconcilable contradiction between infinite greed and limited resources, has caused countless similar tragedies.

"Selfishness is perhaps the most important factor in the evolution of all living things, and it is also the first driving force for the birth and rise of civilization.

"However, when civilization develops to a very high level, individual selfishness becomes the biggest obstacle to the continued development of civilization, and even the claws that hold the throat of civilization.

"The selfish nature has caused every individual to have ghosts, competing with the same kind at all times, weeding out the same kind or even eliminating the same kind of impulse; the poor communication of information has caused the'chain of suspicion' to criss-cross the civilization and cause serious interference. In the end, the impulse to weed out the same kind of people will expand infinitely and fall into a vicious circle. The occurrence of a "war of all people against all people" ends in mutual destruction-the third world war in the earth age almost destroyed human civilization. The thermonuclear war in China is the most typical example.

"However, in the superbody, none of this is a problem.

"Because all information is shared, if you enjoy the delicacies and delicacies, it is equivalent to hundreds of millions of people enjoying the delicacies and delicacies with you; you and the obsessed opposite **** will enjoy the delicacy and delicacy together. ; Including your thrilling adventures, feeling the passionate heroism, and tens of thousands of people fighting with you, similarly, everything they get, no matter the fame and fortune or the fluke of the aftermath and the pleasure of solving difficult problems, you can also Feel 100% in an instant.

"In such a'transphysical era', the concept of the individual has been diluted to a very weak level, and there is no need for any'selfishness', and there is no jealousy, hatred, anger, and the urge to weed out others. What is there? What is the reason for intrigue and cannibalism?

"On the other hand, because the hearts and souls of all individuals are connected together, everyone's evil thoughts and malice towards others are like candles. If some anti-social elements and natural murderers really give birth to a ray of distractions. , Will also be perceived by thousands of people in an instant, and immediately hundreds of millions of bright and kind thoughts will come to help him purify or isolate, and kill the threat in the infancy.

"Therefore, the'Superbody Era' is the most peaceful, brightest and most harmonious era since the birth of the universe. Whether the human civilization that created the superbody, or the primitive civilization and alien races that have been linked to the superbody, they have a high degree of trust in each other. , Very united, there is no estrangement, disagreement and vigilance at all, and of course there is no room for conspiracy and war. If the universe is a dark forest, isn’t the “superbody-super-information unity of the universe” exactly Is the best way to crack the dark forest?"

Li Yao was stunned.

Tilting his head thinking for a long time, he said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

"Of course there is nothing wrong with all the questions and concerns you can think of. The experts and scholars in our fairy palace have thought about them all through thousands of years of exploration and research."

Gu Wuxin said, "Thousands of years ago, when our expeditionary army of Pangu civilization encountered the Flood Tide Corps off guard outside the black wall, and barely defeated it, some of the Flood Tide Corps’ prisoners turned to our strong men. Send out an invitation, ask him to link into the super body.

"At that time, our strong men and later researchers were of course full of vigilance and prejudice, and it was impossible to agree to it at the first time. Instead, they regarded the invitation of the prisoners of the Hongchao Corps as a special kind of bewitching and brainwashing, sneered and continued to study.

"However, the temporary failure of entering the universe has caused our civilization to encounter the problems of resource exhaustion and internal instability.

"The hundreds of generations of pioneer civilizations discovered in the archaic relics and their experiences of destruction have made us even more desperate to realize that the ultimate contradiction between resources and desires is a deadlock that every civilization cannot bypass. For hundreds of millions of years, all Civilizations are all destroyed by this. Can our civilization be an exception?

"Only we can establish our own'universe super-information unity', and in the near future, link into the'main civilization super-body' created by human civilization, realize the great harmony of the entire universe, and completely solve selfishness. Ambitious, cannibalism caused a series of problems such as war, poverty, and crime.

"Even if the experts and scholars in the fairy palace can bury their heads in the gravel, deceive themselves and turn a blind eye to all problems, however, the Pangu civilization outside the fairy palace is indeed slowly corrupting, as the prisoners of the Hongchao Corps said. , Fallen and divided, on the seemingly splendid civilized body, ugly dark spots have grown, and hopeless viruses have long penetrated into the bone marrow and spread throughout the internal organs.

"Under the background of such undercurrents, some seniors in the fairy palace are finally moved.

"In the beginning, they just connected their hearts together in accordance with the cultivation secrets provided by the captives of the Hongchao Corps.

"Because the Pangu people are originally good at large-scale telepathy, the common communication method of the entire Pangu civilization is the combination of language and brainwaves. This secret method of'mind connection' does not exceed the Pangu people's methods. Naturally, There are no dangers and taboos.

"The reason these predecessors connect their hearts together is not to solve a high-level problem such as the crisis of civilization. They just face a series of unexplainable mysteries in the archaic relics and need a higher level of wisdom.

"According to the prisoners of the Hong Chao Army Corps, the wisdom released by the two minds after being connected together far exceeds the sum of the wisdom of the two minds, that is,'one plus one is greater than two'.

"Furthermore, the more brains that are connected, the more profound the wisdom of the entire system, and even the most mysterious problems can be easily solved.

"The prisoners of the Hongchao Corps did not lie.

"The predecessors who were secretly connected together really gained superhuman wisdom, conquered one problem after another that no one could answer for hundreds of years, and analyzed the mystery of the decline of more and more pioneers’ civilizations. Of course, to Hong The Chao Corps and the so-called'Hong Chao' itself have a deeper understanding and a new perspective."
