To Four Thousand Years Later

"You guys have been brainwashed."

The man said firmly and decisively.

"In this world, everything has a price. Therefore, people will also desire to be rewarded for their efforts, because they will always pay the price for other things, just like a businessman who has been losing money will make money." The man said as a matter of course : "Everything is a sale, and only when the value is equal can a transaction be made. We have paid so much for this world, why can't we get a better return?" Gabriel interrupted the man roughly. The man was silent for a while, then took a half step back: "Okay, then you. You have paid so much for this world, but what has the world rewarded you in return? Do you really think that this kind of eternal life has nothing in return? Is it a gift? Sharing your self with others cannot be without cost. Resurrection is also a bet on your outlook on life and world being assimilated by others. It is also a kind of death! It is the death of your past selves."

"I seem to smell a bit of sour gas." Gabriel smiled and said, "Even if we assimilate in Mr. Bo Zhengfu, so what? The world is indeed getting better, and the lives of each of us are getting better. That's it. enough."

"It's like learning from your parents when you were young. As an immature person, it is the instinct of all animals to imitate an excellent mature person. In the past, people would worship gods and saints, but now living gods and saints walk on the ground. We do not worship, But trying to be like him—what's wrong with that?"

"Isn't morality born for this? Isn't this the reason why human beings imitate the behavior of saints and follow the behavior of saints? Why do you think that if you learn more thoroughly, you will lose your freedom?"

Gabriel scolded mercilessly, leaving the man speechless.

Of course she knew that they had done nothing wrong and stood on their side. These bionic people of the old era really had only one way, and they had been abandoned by the times. With the passage of time and the development of civilization, they will only become more and more aware of these hermits, who cannot integrate into the new generation, once they leave Yuehuang City, they will not even be able to find a job. They are not needed anywhere.

Robots cannot drink the Blood of Dawn—or "Extraction No. 42". Even forty-two cannot give a piece of steel a soul. In other words, these bionics cannot connect to the giant tower of the mind, nor can they connect to artificial angels. They can't even produce psionic energy for the Astronomical Torch, as a living body's psionic battery, which "just needs to be alive" can't complete the work. Now they can get Moon City as their place of residence, on the one hand because of Zheng Fu’s mercy, on the other hand because the resources are really high, and humans who have the second type of perpetual motion machines are gradually moving towards the steel hive city on the earth. , Now that the huge city that can fly in the universe has changed, human beings have no shortage of living space for this. The power of the giant tower of mind far exceeds expectations. Even dragging a steel lung the size of the entire Earth can escape the gravitational shackles of the sun and hold it tightly below.

While the "Earth-Size" living space sounds the same as before... the point is, it's hollow.

The solar system cannot accommodate more and more human beings, and the ambition and power of human beings also prevent them from being trapped in this corner of the galaxy. Human beings will eventually take a huge floating city composed of giant towers of the mind to a certain place in the universe. During this period, except for those who left on scientific research ships, engineering ships, and long-distance ships, the remaining people all lived in huge hive cities. It's like a beehive. Even in the universe, human beings will collect materials and build cities layer by layer. The greater the number of Bi Jing people, the stronger and more capable the tower of the mind will be. Now the tower of the mind in the third phase of the project only needs to build a flat "box" to accommodate the current inhabitants of the earth. The height of the box is even less than one-eighth of the diameter of the earth, and the area of ​​the box is smaller than the tower of the mind. After the completion of the Mind Tower project, it has completely engulfed Australia, and eaten some floating islands in Oceania and the Pacific Ocean, so the volume has become larger, but compared with the whole ball, it is still very small.

She is very clear that as long as it continues to grow, one day it will become a real "spiritual tower". If the number of human beings continues to increase, and more and more people are willing to join them, the power obtained by the tower of the mind will become stronger. Even if one day, its overall height exceeds the diameter of the sun, it is not impossible.

Human beings already have such capabilities, so naturally they don't care much about the moon.

If this matter was put hundreds of years ago, perhaps they would also attract the sympathy of the new human beings who are overflowing with sympathy and fight for their rights. There will also be people who give speeches for them, collect donations for them, call on people to vacate jobs for them, and demand these "people who have a hard time" with "lower requirements", making them essentially "nobles". A creature that cannot escape its stand. These poor people will get the question wrong, saying that they have never felt what love is and what trust is. Those sages who lived in the old world full of hatred, deceit, and selfishness can dedicate their lives to mankind. This is indeed a great person who transcends the world. But now, people love and believe in each other, harmonious love fills the whole world, fills everyone's heart...but it doesn't appear in the hearts of bionics. Gabriel felt that she might have picked up a thread of the problem. They have never seen other people's memories with their own eyes, felt the lives and thoughts of others; they have never handed over their hearts to others to read and check, and handed over their past actions to others. Therefore, they have never really believed over others. Such them, how can they believe in the existence of the giant tower of the mind?

They would probably only think that it was Zheng Fu's mind control device used to manipulate people's minds.

That's why they take the risk to go to the earth. Completely seal the will of others in the depths of the body. Replace that person with the "behavior pattern that is not monitored by the giant tower of the mind" created by them. They intend to use this to make these people Get rid of the surveillance of the giant tower of mind. Yes, to completely and permanently imprison a person’s will—basically equivalent to directly killing him and taking away all his social relations—to “save them” and get them out of this world where they will be watched all the time society. It's almost like the human sacrifice ceremony of the doomsday believers.

It's ugly, sick...and sad. What they pursue is the freedom of the soul and the privacy of memory. But they also know very well in their hearts that there has never been real freedom in this world, and there are no secrets at all in this era, but they still stubbornly choose this self-deceiving "freedom and privacy".

The reason is also very simple.

"I understand."

Gabriel sighed slowly: "You guys are jealous."

She has fully understood. Only then can they admit that they have a reason to live. It is because they really admit in their hearts that their own existence is meaningless and that they are inferior to others in all aspects, so they do this kind of thing thanklessly. Using the will to imprison others to monitor and rewrite Ye Gen's memory of thinking, using the same or even less turbulent technology as Zheng Fu, who was condemned by them, to plant seeds of doubt in this world. What begins with unrighteousness must be confirmed with sin. Gabriel took a deep breath.

The investigation is over.
