"Do you think that going to the galaxy is just my decision alone? Or that I can leave the southern Alpha galaxy without support?"
Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and waited for Yang Guang to continue.
"At that time, it was not just me, we all realized that just relying on these carbon-based intelligent creatures created in the Southern Alpha Galaxy could not turn defeat into victory. The key is that conservatives will not give us too much time, and we obviously cannot Victory before the development of intelligent creatures. The reality before us is cruel. No matter how much effort we make, we will still suffer a disastrous defeat. Of course, we have not recognized and accepted the reality, otherwise we are not radicals. If we cannot rely on it The carbon-based intelligent creatures we created have won, so our only choice is to find more powerful life, that is, more effective tools."
"So, how did you know that there is the creature you were looking for in the galaxy?"
"We didn't know, at least we didn't know it at the time, but we had no other choice, so we had to take the risk and try, even if the chance of success is slim."
Yang Yi sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.
"Of course, this is our collective decision. Because there is not much certainty, we can only let one of us go to the galaxy."
"That's you."
"Yes, I was selected, even if it was not my purpose. Although I was the first to ask questions and was the first to realize that the carbon-based life in the Southern Alpha galaxy was of little value, I never thought about it from beginning to end. I want to leave the southern Alpha galaxy, and I never thought about going to the distant Milky Way. Of course, this is also related to our previous attempts, that is, we have not been able to reach other star systems smoothly. However, I am even more reluctant to leave many companions, because we Sharing common ideals, and leaving is tantamount to betrayal, even if shouldering a key mission. In fact, none of us is willing to leave, so in the end it is a collective vote to decide who to send to the galaxy."
"Obviously, you are lucky and unfortunate."
"It can be said, or that the misfortune is a little bit bigger." Yang Guang smiled reluctantly and said, "You know, the journey to the Milky Way galaxy is extremely long. You already know my true identity, so you must know it. , Existence like us will lose vitality after leaving the star system. Even if I rely on the advanced equipment on the spacecraft, there is no concern about my life, but for an existence like us, loss of vitality and death have nothing to do. Difference, and when you wake up, you have to face a completely unfamiliar world. Simply put, if you use your human concepts to understand it, it’s like a journey from the world to hell."
"Of course, you did reach the Milky Way smoothly."
"I just reached the galaxy, but it didn't go smoothly."
"Yes?"
Yang Guangchang exhaled, and said, "First of all, it is not me who has reached the galaxy, but a carrier, a living body that carries my individual consciousness."
"What!?" Yang Yimeng was startled and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief.
"I have already said that it is impossible for an existence like us to leave our star system. As long as we leave the star system and enter the gravitational field of other star systems, all the elements that make up us will be immediately and completely The disappearance of. For us, it is death. The key is that we are attached to space and are a whole with the star system we were born into. If the Alpha galaxy is likened to a living body, then we puppets are in this living body. Consciousness, of course, is a multitude of consciousnesses. Because of this limitation, no matter how powerful we are, we cannot leave the Alpha galaxy, at least not directly to other star systems. The only way to solve this problem is to find another carrier. It’s just that this also means giving up a lot of things, such as that unparalleled strength."
"You mean, when you reach the galaxy, you are just an ordinary life body, or what you have is just an ordinary body?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
"The issue is… "
"The problem is that I went to the Milky Way galaxy millions of years ago, and I arrived near the solar system, and no intelligent life had been born in the solar system at that time. In fact, there were no other intelligent life in the galaxy at that time, at least not. The intelligent life we demand.” Yang Guang paused for a while before saying, “That’s why I was not awakened by the control system of the spacecraft, and I am still sleeping. Of course, this is actually a setting I made in advance, that is, only when The control system of the spacecraft will wake me up only after I have discovered a sufficiently developed intelligent life. The main thing is that the life body that carries my consciousness is extremely fragile and its lifespan is extremely short. If I wake up too early, it is very likely to be I die before I find a wise life, and I obviously shouldn’t risk it.”
"and then?"
"Obviously, all I can do is wait until intelligent life appears in the solar system, or until the spacecraft's control system starts operating according to a preset program."
"What program?"
"Create intelligent life."
"what!?"
"Simply put, human beings were not created by me, but by the spacecraft. Of course, to be precise, the spacecraft is on the only planet in the solar system suitable for the existence of living things according to the degree set by me in advance. It gave the most potential creature the most basic wisdom at the time. It’s just that there’s nothing wrong with saying that I created or created human beings. After all, it’s a pre-determined level by me, the spacecraft. It’s just executing the program.” Yang Guang paused for a while before saying, “The most important thing is that I have learned the lesson in the Southern Alpha System, or that I have enough time to think about what we have before leaving the Southern Alpha System. Everything we did, and to find the mistakes we made, finally found a right direction."
"What's the meaning?"
"Actually, when I left the Southern Alpha Galaxy, I was still awake. Even in the sleep state, my consciousness was still there, but it was much less efficient and could not be compared with the situation. Fortunately, it was a long time. The time brought by the voyage compensates for the efficiency problem, allows me to think clearly about many problems, and also allows me enough time to find solutions to these problems."
"what is the problem?"
"It's very simple." Yang Guang said with a faint smile, "Why can't the carbon-based intelligent life we created in the Southern Alpha Galaxy become a tool to defeat conservatives?"
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Guang without understanding.
"Actually, before I left the Southern Alpha Galaxy, I thought about this problem clearly. At least I knew where we made a mistake. Otherwise, the other radicals would not listen to my suggestions, let alone let them. I took a spacecraft to the galaxy. You know, the value of this spacecraft is not just to be able to sail across the star system. It is in the heritage of the creator, that is, a treasure that cannot be measured by value."
"and then?"
"It's just that the things I thought of at the time were actually my speculations, I couldn't prove it, and no one was willing to prove it.
"What speculation?"
"Our influence, or restriction, on the creation of intelligent creatures."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and frowned.
"Of course, after I came to the galaxy, to be precise, after you humans were born, I realized that I had found the right direction from the beginning." Yang Guang smiled faintly before saying, "It's very simple, there are no puppets in the galaxy. Therefore, in the past billions of years, no real intelligent creatures have been born in the galaxy, let alone an intelligent civilization. Although theoretically speaking, if I hadn’t come to the galaxy, it might not be a few billion years later. Smart creatures will be born, but with the emergence of human beings, especially after humans have evolved into a smart civilization through self-evolution, I discovered that our influence and restrictions on smart creatures are too great. Even if we can create smart creatures, However, under our limitations, no intelligent creatures can truly develop. In other words, in addition to creation, our influence on intelligent creatures is more of a limitation, rather than helping them to evolve to a higher level. At the level of humanity. So, without our limitations, will intelligent creatures evolve to a higher level?"
"There are no puppets in the galaxy?"
"There must have been, but it died when I arrived. As for how it died, I don't know, at least I don't care very much. Of course, it must be related to the galaxy itself, after all, the galaxy is too small. In addition, The puppets of the Milky Way must also have disagreements, and perhaps a civil war broke out. Although this did not lead to the destruction of the Milky Way, after all, on the scale of the Milky Way, it is impossible to split into two star systems after the completion of the central black hole, and will only perish directly, but this A war that led to the complete destruction of the puppets is tantamount to making room for all creatures, including humans, so that creatures in the galaxy can evolve themselves without being affected. Obviously, this is a very special situation. It does not exist in other star systems."
"You mean, in the process of human evolution, you did not interfere?"
"Yes, the flying ship created humans according to pre-set procedures, that is, by changing genes, apes can evolve wisdom and become truly intelligent creatures, that is, you humans. Of course, for insurance, I set Several sets of transformation programs have been implemented, so you humans have multiple races. However, the end result is the same, that is, different races have evolved wisdom, and there is no essential difference, and the effects of small genetic differences are all It fades with the long evolutionary process. In fact, before your grandfather and grandmother came to the periphery of the solar system and entered the spaceship I was in, I had never had direct contact with humans."
