40,000 Years of Cultivation

"farm?"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu understood the meaning of the Red Pole Star at the same time, their foreheads were oozing sweat, their faces were pale, and they pointed to the tips of their noses, "So, we are all'rice' and'fruit trees' in the farm, we His emotions and imagination are the'fruits' needed by the will of the earth?"

"I guess so, otherwise the will of the earth will lock us in this **** prison of reincarnation, what does the earth that has gone through countless reincarnations do?"

The Red Pole Star pointed to his temple and said, "The purpose is to stimulate our spirits to a certain degree, so that we can continuously produce emotions and imaginations that it will never secrete.

"Those seemingly weird, bizarre and even absurd legends, those works that will be denounced as nonsense and lewdness, those fantasy worlds that are fantastical, and those who have the most daring and most ignorant yearning for the end of the sea of ​​stars-positive It is these that constitute the solid core of a great civilization, and the will of the earth itself does not have such a core. If it had ever had blood, it must have cooled and condensed hundreds of millions of years ago, even if it had Dreams must have long since turned into mottled fragments, completely annihilated!

"Even at the level of the big universe, it is really an invincible super monster with superb computing power and huge military power. A tyrannical existence of the gods and demons can perfectly control everything in the big universe and can deal with all problems. Calculate the perfect answer-but at the level of'life' and'civilization', the so-called'perfection' does not exist at all. The moon is full and there is loss. After the peak is the abyss, the end of'perfection' is destruction.

"In a word, the will of the earth does not have emotions and dreams. It does not even have the ability to make mistakes. The ability to make mistakes is a crucial factor in the evolution of life. We can only make mistakes constantly, make mistakes and make mistakes again, and make those whimsical things. Absurd mistakes have the opportunity to survive and develop in the ever-changing universe, and even burst out infinite possibilities.

"A civilization that has no imagination and can't make mistakes will not discover the slightest possibility, or even find the meaning of its existence. It is destined to hit its limits soon after reaching the peak, and it has absolutely nothing. Ways to break its own limits, so it has to rely on external forces-a race that has emotions, dreams and imagination, and will constantly make mistakes to find infinite possibilities, that is us.

"We humans are not as good as we boast, and we are not even worthy of the name of the'spirit of all things'. We are really a very bad carbon-based intelligent life-we have rich and colorful emotions, but often because of Emotionally and impulsively, falling into the dark quagmire of human nature, to hurt ourselves; we have the ambition to keep forging ahead, but this ambition often turns into ambition, we lose everything in confusion for the ambition that we can't support at all; we are naive, romantic and rich We are dreaming, but this makes us often suffer from our own dissatisfaction. Our desires are hard to fill. No matter how much we get, we will get bored within three to five seconds at most. We are eager to find ten or a hundred times more things to fill our inner emptiness. .

"But it is these flaws that have shaped us, giving us the most powerful force in the sea of ​​stars. When our ancestors looked up at the starry sky for the first time a long time ago and sighed, our race was destined to embark on a thorny road. , Riding the wind and waves, and surpassing the wind and clouds, and only such us are qualified to become the'heart','brain' or'engine' of the will of the earth!"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were shocked again, their gazes at the Red Pole Star became extremely different.

"It turns out that the whole prison of reincarnation is the ‘engine’ of the earth’s will?"

Zhang Daniu murmured.

"Yes, I like the term ‘engine’ more than ‘brain’ or ‘farm’.”

The Red Pole Star said, "Because the'engine hypothesis' can explain why the earth will not dare to desperately and forcibly restart in an instant-because doing so will not only cause serious damage to the'engine' itself, but also interrupt the power output. Its continuity affects its combat effectiveness on the battlefield of the universe."

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu thought about it a bit, and both felt that they were justified.

Imagine the will of the earth as a chariot that is engaged in a fierce firefight with the enemy. Naturally, its engine cannot be restarted casually. If the engine is damaged for three to five minutes, the will of the earth is enough to be shot into a hornet's nest by the enemy.

"Your guess makes sense, but I still don't understand."

Zhang Daniu frowned, "Even if the Prison of Reincarnation is really an endless loop farm, an engine that rotates at super high speed forever, why is it now? It was from the 1970s and 1980s to the 1930s and 1940s. period of time?"

"Because this is the golden age of earth civilization, human beings have reached the pinnacle of carbon-based intelligent life on a single planet in these decades."

The Red Pole Star said, "I guess the earth’s will can certainly set the background time of the Samsara Hell in the Middle Ages or even the Stone Age, but this will not be able to harvest enough emotion and imagination-from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, or even Until the early days of the industrial revolution, the dark ages were wise and unopened. People living in that kind of ignorant and obstructive environment had no food to eat and were precarious, and most of their energy had to be devoted to the competition for survival. Only a handful of people can have the "luxury" of emotion and imagination, and the backwardness of information transmission means that their emotion and imagination cannot form a large-scale "resonance" with others.

"A poet living in the Middle Ages, even if he writes an immortal poem about the stars and the universe, it may take thirty to fifty years, even one or two hundred years, before it can reach the ears of another poet. However, most people except these noble poets can’t understand one part of their exquisiteness—the efficiency of such information transmission is too low. How can the emotion and imagination stimulated meet the needs of the will of the earth? ?

"Our era, or the era carefully created for us by the will of the earth, is completely different.

"Steam revolution, electrical revolution, information revolution!

"World War I, World War II, Cold War!

"Turing machines, computers, networks, mobile phones, wireless networks, all kinds of information terminals!

"Universal education for the whole people, entertainment for the whole people nourished on a solid enough material foundation, games online by millions of people at the same time, online novels with millions of words, super-fast interaction between authors and readers at any time!

"Space technology, cloning technology, nanotechnology, information explosion, technological explosion, everyone can share their dreams and touches with others anytime and anywhere through mobile terminals, forming a large-scale resonance similar to mass hysteria!

"Don't you think that if the will of the earth really wants to harvest our emotions and dreams, this is the best time?"

Li Yao and Zhang Daniu froze for a long time.

Zhang Daniu scratched his hair and said: "So, what do you mean is that all the information terminals we use, including the social environment we live in, everything is deliberately created by the will of the earth in order to harvest us?"

"It is not necessarily created deliberately-this reality is too real, so real that it does not appear to be completely forged. I suspect that a long time ago, there was indeed an'Origin Earth', and every reincarnation we experience is based on'Origin The earth’s real history is a template."

The Red Pole Star said, "But this time period must be carefully selected by the will of the earth. Only such a golden age is the most convenient for it to'cultivate' the strongest emotions and richest imagination, and carry out the most efficient'harvesting'. .

"If this is the case, then the Apocalypse Organization also has another explanation for the obliteration of the observers-perhaps it is not only the fear of the observers awakening more heroes, it is also part of the harvest. After all, the observers are often those who have the strongest emotions and A person with rich imagination, harvesting one observer, I am afraid it is more useful than harvesting a hundred ordinary people."

"That means--"

Zhang Daniu thought of a shuddering possibility, "The creation of the observer, the awakening of the awakened, and even the resistance of the prisonbreaker, everything is in the plan of the will of the earth?"

"It is possible. After all, the awakened discovers the truth and evolves into the prisonbreaker to resist. In this process, endless waves of emotion, will and determination will definitely be released. Perhaps the will of the earth needs these things?"

The Red Pole Star smiled slightly, "However, I always believe that there is no thing that can perfectly control everything. Perhaps the will of the earth in its heyday can manipulate six billion heroic spirits at will, but now is different. This time, we don’t same!"

"I understand."

Zhang Daniu thought for a while and said, "Then why the earth will set the end of the reincarnation **** to the 1930s and 1940s. The more information goes on, the greater the information explosion, and more and more people will produce Dream, can't it harvest more emotion and imagination?"

"No, that would be too much."

Red Pole Star said, "The so-called'harvesting emotion and imagination' is a double-edged sword. When the heroic spirits continuously output the most intense ripples in the soul, they will definitely be awakened and resisted. The will of the earth must awaken the awakened ones. The resistance is controlled within a reasonable limit and must not exceed the critical point, which will lead to a complete loss of control of the situation.

"Let’s use the “engine” as an analogy. The earth’s will wants to keep the output power of the engine within a reasonable limit. Too low output is of course not good, but the output of too violent power for a long time causes the engine to overload or even explode. It's worse, isn't it?"
