"Willing to listen to God's story." Zhao Shirou whispered respectfully.
Xu Zhi walked ahead and spoke in the ruins, "A long time ago, there was a race that lived on the edge of lava, and they possessed unparalleled wisdom."
The first moment Zhao Shirou heard it, she knew that the super ancient gods were talking about the glory of their Ishtar people.
"They are madly advancing technology. In the end, each of them has powerful power, vast knowledge like the sea, handsome and perfect appearance, and can even download the corresponding knowledge they want on the Internet at will, becoming an almighty person."
"They call themselves gods, and everyone is proficient in God's C language. They can modify the genes and memories of other beings, and possess power comparable to gods. One person can destroy and rule a group of monsters in Outland!"
"Even, they only need to send one citizen to come to Outland, which is enough to unify that huge lava domain!"
"Conquering, dominating, and conquering the world mean nothing to them. They already need enough land."
"It's unbelievable that civilization has developed to such an extent. If there is no restriction, they can also hack into their social network as a single citizen, causing the paralysis of their own civilization."
"When a race, each of its people has the power to easily destroy their own race and the ability to disrupt order... If the clansmen are not restricted, then they will inevitably be destroyed."
When Xu Zhi said this, he looked at Zhao Shirou, "So, what should be used to restrict them? The written law? Self-discipline? Morality?"
Zhao Shirou was silent.
There is almost nothing that limits their behavior.
For example, the written social laws in the scientific and technological society with television and computer networks in ancient times, the establishment of public security bureaus, government officials patrolling, and arrests have long been unable to restrict them... The destructiveness they can cause alone is too terrifying, and they have the ability to conceal sex! Attacking shopping malls, networks, and stores is enough to paralyze a province!
Such is the inevitable tendency of civilization to develop to such an extreme degree.
"This is a very interesting civilization story."
Zhao Shirou was silent for a while, "I guess, the only way for them to prevent self-destruction is to write the 'law' deep in their genes and set up a 'shame death mechanism', which is the only human being that makes them resemble the previous society, way to obey the law.”
"Yes, you are very smart."
Xu Zhi smiled and continued to walk on the ruins of this street. Suddenly, he sat down on a wooden bench in a fountain square in a park. From a distance, he seemed to be recalling the ancient glory of this land.
"Establishing a 'death-ashamed mechanism' is the only choice for this civilization. They are still as usual externally, but there is no struggle inside, and they begin to move towards happiness, harmony, kindness, law-abiding, and no distrust. The establishment of a firewall also allows them to The high wall between the hearts of the people has been removed...they have worked together, and civilization has developed even more terrifying because of this, and the technology has been iterated to an unimaginable level."
"But no civilized system is perfect, and because of this, they have three unavoidable problems."
"First, it is written deep in the genes that people with genetic defects may eventually be born. Although we try our best to avoid it, the probability is one in hundreds of millions. The passage of time will inevitably happen! This is the horror of time, and any small probability event will become an inevitable event!"
Zhao Shirou was silent.
This really cannot be solved.
The horror of a murderer is not that he broke through the limit and can kill people everywhere. After all, no matter how big an individual disaster is, it can't destroy civilization... Just like before, he was taken down at a huge price.
The truly terrifying thing about a murderer is that he can be a top "hacker". After breaking through the "death limit", he can directly research his own firewall and create virus intrusions without any restrictions.
This is inevitable.
The birth of a murderer cannot be monitored by Skynet, because every "protoss" is too powerful, and there is no "law" constraint at the moment of separation, and they can directly send "normal" commands to hide from Skynet's inspections.
He just needs to hide for decades, research the corresponding virus...
"This is the first fatal flaw." Xu Zhi laughed.
"Secondly, as a law, there must be a person in charge of the key. As a 'sword holder', his good and evil will destroy the entire civilization. If a certain generation of heirs has malicious intentions, it will be inevitable. "
Xu Zhi interspersed a short story for Zhao Shirou. In the story of Cheng Xin, the "sword bearer" in "Three-Body Problem", when a button of civilization is pressed, the mentality of the person in charge determines the continuation or destruction of civilization.
Zhao Shirou fell silent after listening.
Ms. Caroline and the next generation of heirs, Meriwina, have absolutely no problem with their character, but what about the future? Generation after generation of heirs, there may always be a day when something goes wrong...
As long as it is possible, with the passage of time, he will inevitably be born!
Zhao Shirou was terrified in her heart, and couldn't help asking excitedly, "The person responsible for standing at the top of society, controlling and amending the law, this is the second flaw, so what is the third flaw..."
She had known these two flaws before, even the entire Ishdar people knew about them.
"The third defect is that the Ishdar people cannot become gods." Xu Zhi said lightly.
"What!!"
Zhao Shirou's eyes widened.
She reacted instantly, yes! There were no "gods" before, and the Ishdar people didn't think about it, because at that time, there was no concept of eighth-level gods.
However, as soon as the Ishtar people were destroyed, the "gods" appeared so quickly, but the Ishtar people did not appear before...
This is too unreasonable!
It's like the Ishdar people are deliberately suppressing the appearance of the gods.
Xu Zhi sighed, "The civilization of the Ishtar people has already reached an extremely terrifying height... Is it because they can't become gods? No, they have already reached the technical conditions."
"Because once a creature becomes a god, it cannot be restricted by the 'death-ashamed mechanism'. Caroline's dream is to create a world of perfect equality, where everyone is a god and everyone has great power, but a real When a god appears, it will inevitably be unequal, and may enslave the common people! In this way, it does not conform to her ideal land, and she becomes a ladder strong like the extraordinary world, where the weak prey on the strong, destroying the entire pattern of civilization."
"They have already researched space technology, but they dare not announce it to the public, for fear that other life forms will become gods... Because other life forms become gods, the civilization of the Ishtars may be destroyed by the 'gods'."
Zhao Shirou's hairs stood on end, goosebumps all over her body.
This is the real reason why no god has appeared in the entire vast era of advanced civilization of the Ishtar people!
"No wonder! No wonder..." Zhao Shirou's mind went blank.
Is this the truth of history?
She closed her eyes, her eyelids were trembling, and her slender eyelashes fluttered, "It's really sad...that ancient civilization claimed to be a god race, but restricted its own clansmen to become gods... This is the third key point, if A race and civilization are always limited to the seventh level, and they will inevitably be eliminated in the future, which is also the inevitability of time."
Xu Zhi smiled faintly, "These three key points, the birth of the murderer, the alienation of the sword holder, and the civilization will always stay at the seventh level... Any one of the fatal factors will almost certainly perish...."
Is our destruction inevitable
From the beginning, our perfect and happy society, is the wrong path?
Zhao Shirou took a deep breath, it was hard to imagine how cruel the truth was.
"These three problems are fatal enough, so Caroline has been trying to solve them, with think tanks and scientists, but they can't be solved at all. In her deduction, destruction seems inevitable, as time goes by. . . . In a certain period of time, as long as one of the three vital points breaks out, it will be destroyed instantly."
Xu Zhi said: "She is a radical person, since the Ishtar people are bound to die, then what method will she use to save the Ishtar people from death
So, she thought of a terrifying plan "Plan for Eternal Civilization", also known as "Plan for Protoss Eternal Life",
When the people of Ishtar were facing destruction, they launched this final plan... She originally thought that when the outbreak broke out, it might be the next generation of Merivina... But she didn't expect it to come so early. "
When Zhao Shirou heard this, waves of terrifying waves hit her.
I never thought that there was such a big secret hidden under the iceberg.
But this ultra-ancient god witnessed the rise and fall of our Ishtar civilization in front of his eyes, as if he was standing there, watching the torrent of history.
Is this a god
One by one, the seas and mountains are changing, and I stand on a high place and look at it indifferently, eternally immortal.
She had been practicing passively before, but now she suddenly wanted to become stronger.
"Once the Ishdar people are destroyed because of those three problems, they will activate the "Protoss Eternal Life Plan" to realize the continuation of the Protoss. What is the plan?" Zhao Shirou felt terrible when she heard the name, as if she was a lunatic. idea.
Xu Zhi smiled and asked back: "Do you think a civilization, a race, can exist forever?"
Zhao Shirou was stunned. This is a question about the eternity of civilization. She answered it after serious thinking, and replied respectfully, "A civilization cannot last forever. Alternation, destruction, and rise are inevitable..."
"yes"
Xu Zhi sighed quietly, and then said in a cold voice, "This kind of wishful thinking is impossible to realize! Caroline knew from that moment on that it is impossible to have a truly perfect and happy society in the world. Exist in dream land....Yes, unless you live in a dream, why not have a good dream! There is everything in the dream! Everything exists!"
live in a dream...
Zhao Shirou trembled all over, goosebumps all over her body! !
Xu Zhi continued to stride forward, walking among the ruins, and asked: "No civilization can last forever, just like no life can last forever... And life, do you think there is any way to achieve immortality? "
Zhao Shirou was silent again, with a flash of firmness in her eyes, "Eternal life? There should be no life that can exist forever, right? Those who don't die of old age will be killed. True immortality may be another form. For example, how to define a person's true death? Maybe people forget about him, don't talk about him anymore, he is really dead...Mr. Levi's is still alive in a sense, because he will always live in our hearts, in a corner of our memory."
Xu Zhi admired, "Yes, when the dead are remembered, when civilization is recorded in the annals of history, so as to live in people's memory, so as to live in other people's dreams, is another kind of eternal life."
live in memory
Zhao Shirou was silent for a while, and an extremely incredible thing suddenly occurred to her mind!
Xu Zhi suddenly smiled, "It is impossible to achieve immortality in the god race's eternal life plan. This is a paradox, because as long as you live, you will be killed and destroyed. Perhaps only the dead god race can... to eternal life."
Zhao Shirou's eyes widened, "The last plan to deal with the extinction of civilization, "Protoss Eternal Life Plan" is....Death's eternal life!?"
