Yang Yi already knows the next thing, even if it is not completely accurate, it is still indispensable.
Because of this serious disagreement, these god-like beings broke out in a civil war, and it was the worst war ever. Although the conservatives won the initial victory by virtue of their numerical superiority, their mercy to the enemy cost them an extremely heavy price. In a sense, this is also an inevitable result, because conservatives defend not only the lives they created, but also themselves, and even enemies with close relations with them, and it is impossible for them to fight against the defeated. The enemy hurt the killer. According to Okas, if they do this, they lose their nature, which is equivalent to making victory meaningless. In fact, this also made the conservatives doomed to fail to win the final victory of this war and have the final result.
"In fact, even at the end of the day, we still have a chance. However, we always believe that even if there are unbridgeable differences in views, we are brothers of the same root. Regardless of the final result, we should not be fraternal Disabled." Okas sighed before saying, "It's just that this cruel war has also made us realize more and more important issues, such as what the universe we live in is like, and Our existence and the lives we created have had a great impact on the universe. If we can gain anything from it, this is the main gain."
"reward?"
"Do you think that after our civil war, why did the Silicon Beast dominate the Northern Alpha Galaxy?"
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but didn't ask much, waiting for Okas to continue.
"In fact, before the outbreak of the Civil War, we have realized the seriousness of the problem. Simply put, our activities have already had an impact on the universe, or are they bad." Okas exhaled and said, "The key is not us. , But the creature we created."
"What's the meaning?"
"Billions of years can make many problems that are too small to be noticeable become obvious enough. Although under our control, the impact of any kind of organism is extremely limited, but thousands, even The impact of hundreds of millions of populations cannot be underestimated. More importantly, even the lowest level creatures will influence and change the environment in order to survive and multiply. When the vitality becomes stronger, or master With advanced technology, it will seek and occupy a wider living space. Simply put, even the silicon beast with the lowest IQ will become powerful enough after billions of years of evolution."
"Thus having a huge impact on the universe?"
Okas nodded and said, "Of course, before the outbreak of the Civil War, we have been controlling the evolution and development of the creatures created, that is, minimizing their impact. Unfortunately, billions of years have passed. , Enough to make our efforts meaningless. In fact, this is also one of the reasons for the civil war, because even if we directly control, such a situation can not continue to exist. Before long, these creatures created by us will be Evolve enough strength to compete with us to change the three-dimensional universe and even destroy the foundation of survival. Obviously, only war can prevent this from happening."
"You mean, before this, there have been extremely powerful intelligent creatures?"
"You can say that, but it's not entirely correct."
"What's the meaning?"
"For billions of years, millions of years are just a flick of a finger." Okas paused for a while, then said, "In these billions of years, except for the first few hundred million years, we will mainly The energy is put on the transformation of the environment, to be precise, to create a suitable environment. The rest of the time is all creating life, all kinds of lives. During this period, we experienced a lot of failures, but in the end all succeeded. Although this was wasted It took a lot of time. Take me as an example. Before creating the first kind of life with basic wisdom, I spent about 3 billion years of exploration, and all the lives created in these 3 billion years It’s a failure. But for us, the wasted time is nothing. In other words, our goal is actually to create a life with wisdom, or a life that is highly similar to us, in order to continue our life. Exist, or prove our existence."
Yang Yi frowned and felt very complicated.
Quite simply, what Okas said is to prove that these powerful beings have been playing the role of God, and they are always happy.
“When we created a life with wisdom, we discovered a problem that we had overlooked before, but it was extremely important, and it could even be said to be devastating. This is that life with wisdom can evolve, and the speed of evolution With the improvement of wisdom, the speed of evolution will become faster and faster. The problem is that we cannot evolve, at least in the past billions of years, we have not evolved. Of course, this is not surprising, we are all alone. , And all have almost eternal life, there is no need to reproduce offspring, and it is impossible to achieve evolution through reproduction. The result is obviously that we have to choose something."
"You mean, these intelligent lives created by you will eventually surpass you?"
Okas nodded slightly and said: "It can be said that if we do not impose restrictions on these intelligent lives, they will inevitably surpass us. It may take millions of years, or even more time, to evolve to be comparable to us. And to master the necessary wisdom for advanced technology, but for billions of years, this time is not long at all. In addition, in these billions of years, we are not always observing the intelligent lives that are created. Very much. Obviously, if we are a little negligent, these intelligent lives created by us will become the most serious threat. In fact, this kind of thing has indeed happened, more than once."
"You mean..."
"It's just that everything has been properly handled. It's very simple, we will not admit failure, let alone the shame we suffered publicly. It is not difficult for us to destroy a civilization. If this happens. We will take care of things on our own and we will never publicize them publicly. Take me as an example. In the star systems I rule, there have been at least five intelligent creatures that have evolved to advanced civilizations, and they have not taken more than the evolutionary time. In one million years, one of the civilizations even took less than one hundred thousand years to achieve a leap. If I did not take action in time, I am afraid that I would have been wiped out by the civilization I created before the civil war broke out."
"This… "
"Of course, it is not luck or coincidence that these civilizations can be discovered, but inevitable."
"What is inevitable?"
"Although we don’t always stare at those created creatures, at most we only look at it occasionally, but any creature that has evolved to a certain degree, especially after mastering the technology related to original energy, will try to use it. It is inevitable that there will be abnormal phenomena that we can perceive, such as obvious energy fluctuations and spatial fluctuations, which will attract our attention."
"Then you will take action to eliminate these civilizations."
"This is the only option, although it is not the result we want."
Yang Yi laughed bitterly, feeling indescribable.
"Of course, I was not the one who did this." Okas paused for a while and said again, "It's just that if there were no subsequent civil wars, this kind of thing would still happen. In a sense, whether it's Silicon It was the silicon beast that later evolved wisdom. In fact, all of them were beneficiaries of the civil war.
"What's the meaning?"
"Why do you think we lost that civil war, or why were we defeated by radicals far fewer than us, even if we died together?"
"This… "
"At that time, we had an absolute advantage, not only in quantity, but we also controlled almost all star systems. Those radicals who came back knew that they were not our opponents, and at least they could not defeat us by relying on their own strength. This way."
"Using intelligent life?"
Okas nodded and said: "The first thing they did after they came back was to create a large number of intelligent life in some marginal star systems that we did not take seriously, and provided support and protection. That is to help these intelligent life evolve at a faster rate, and there is no abnormal phenomenon that can be detected by us. By the time we discover the danger, they have taken the most critical step and achieved results. The result is that we We are no longer facing a limited number of radicals, but thousands of intelligent lives who are armed by them much more than us and whose strength is not below us."
Yang Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.
"The result is obvious. Even if our group is larger, when facing an army of intelligent life whose numbers are tens of thousands of times ours, and the individual strength is not much worse than ours, at least there is no decisive gap, even if we do our best, in the end Still unable to win."
"So, you made the decision to die with the enemy?"
"This is the only way, and it's not just for defeating the enemy, nor just for ourselves, but for everything."
"Yes?"
"If we hadn't done this, then the Northern Alpha Galaxy and the Southern Alpha Galaxy would have long since ceased to exist, and there would be nothing like the present."
Yang Yi sighed. He understood what Okas meant, but it was difficult to accept for a while.
"Of course, these have passed." Okas also sighed. "Although as far as I am concerned, if I were to make a decision again, it would be the same. But now, you are here, even if I don’t trust you, but you are the only thing we want to achieve at the expense of everything. Hope."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.
