"Why?"
Yang Guang looked at Yang Yi unclearly, and obviously didn't figure out what Yang Yi meant.
"Before this, human beings have been born for millions of years, and Homo sapiens have also appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, even in the history of civilization with written records for thousands of years. Don't tell me, during this time you have been asleep. . In fact, you have already said that even in a state of sleep, your consciousness is running. So why have you not appeared in front of humans in the past few thousand years, and waited until my grandfather and grandmother found you? You intervened in the natural evolution of mankind only after being in contact with you? This is definitely not a coincidence, so don’t tell me it’s a coincidence. Of course, don’t tell me that you have been waiting for a new body."
"What if it is so?"
This time, it was Yang Yi's turn to be puzzled.
"Of course, this is only one reason. You are right, I have been waiting for a new body. Although the use of the life system on the spacecraft and the long-term sleep can greatly extend the life of that body, it is always There is a limit, and it’s about to reach the limit. Don’t forget, I’ve been waiting for millions of years. If I don’t have a new body, I will be finished after leaving the spaceship. Although it can save part of my consciousness In the spacecraft's control system, but after losing the carrier, I am no longer a real existence. In fact, I can only wait. Even if it is not your grandfather and grandmother, it will be someone else."
"you… "
"Of course, I have also been observing humans in secret and have interfered with the natural evolution of humans. However, all I have done is to prevent humans from destroying themselves. In fact, this is also the evolution of intelligent creatures like humans that are produced through natural evolution. The inevitable result after reaching a certain level. The key is that because they are not restricted, intelligent creatures will often go to extremes driven by survival and reproduction after they have mastered the technology sufficient to destroy their planet. There is a lot of wisdom in the Southern Alpha Galaxy. Civilization died because of this, so what I did was to prevent human beings from destroying themselves. Otherwise, I am afraid that human beings would have already perished before flying out of the earth’s atmosphere."
"So, do you have to thank you?"
"It's not necessary, because what I did was only for myself."
Yang Yi sighed and couldn't help but smile.
"Actually, your grandfather and grandmother came very late."
"what?"
"Yes, human beings do have a history of hundreds of thousands of years. Even if it is calculated according to the history of civilization with written records, there are thousands of years, but compared to the evolutionary history of any kind of organism, it is actually not a long history. . Of course, it’s also very short for an existence like me. In fact, if you look at the history of science and technology, the speed of human evolution is even more amazing. It only took a few hundred years to complete any of the others. Civilization takes tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, to achieve results. Then, at this speed, how long will it take for humans to exceed the limits of natural creatures and reach the ideal level that meets our requirements?"
"you… "
"Of course, it may be hundreds of years, or it may be thousands of years, but no matter how long it is, it is not a problem at all for me. You know, I have waited for millions of years, so wait for thousands of years. What's that? In fact, I would rather wait for thousands of years to wait for humans to make a leap through natural evolution. Because only in this way can I prove that my previous inferences are not wrong."
"So, why do you still use my grandmother?"
"It's very simple, I have no other choice."
"Yes?"
"They discovered the spacecraft and obtained the necessary information. Although I can get rid of them and keep the spacecraft secret, as more and more humans explore places outside the solar system, others will soon arrive. And I obviously can’t get rid of all the humans who found spacecraft. More importantly, as humans’ understanding of the universe deepens, then it won’t be long before humans will find ways to fly to other star systems. At that time, even I Taking action in person may not be able to prevent human beings from going further and further on the road of self-destruction." Yang Guang paused for a while, then said, "There are also reasons I mentioned at the beginning, that is, the body I have is seriously aging, I need A new body. If this opportunity is missed, there may be no better opportunity."
"you… "
"Actually, I didn't do anything to your grandmother. I just used her body to get a brand new body." Yang Guang smiled reluctantly and said, "It's just that, for me, this is still not perfect. Body, and it’s impossible to get a perfect body in the galaxy."
"So, you left the galaxy after having a certain ability."
"This is one of the reasons, but not all, and it's not the main reason."
"still got more?"
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Before this, I was only observing humans, using various indirect methods to understand humans, and had no direct contact with humans. That is to say, my understanding of humans before this It is extremely superficial, and only familiar with the performance of human beings. It is not until I have integrated into human society as a human being and have direct contact with humans that I have a deeper understanding of humans."
"and then?"
"Of course, this is also a real understanding." Yang Guangchang exhaled and said, "Obviously, my previous speculation has been formalized. Without our influence, intelligent creatures like humans born in the three-dimensional universe It can evolve a high level of wisdom and master extremely advanced technology. In a sense, this is perfect, and it is the intelligent creature we have been looking for, that is, a tool that can help us defeat conservatives. It’s just that, At the same time, I found a very important issue that I hadn’t thought of before. In fact, before this, the various manifestations of humans have made this problem appear, but because my understanding of humans is not deep enough, I have not been aware of this problem. The seriousness of the incident was not taken seriously."
"what is the problem?"
"An intelligent civilization that has evolved without restriction and has a serious tendency to self-destruct, after mastering extremely advanced technology, will the self-destructive tendency become more serious, and it will evolve without restriction? Will development and development lead to complete destruction in the end?"
"Total destruction?"
"Because of the rapid expansion, the universe where it is located is completely destroyed."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he frowned.
"Obviously, this question has been answered." Yang Guang sighed before saying, "It can be said that this is an unsolvable contradiction. The key is not human beings, but us, or that we and human beings constitute this contradiction together. We. The restraint of human beings will lose the vitality of development, and without our restraint, human beings will be destroyed. Although my conjecture has been proved, but at the same time it proves that this method does not work, that is, we cannot rely on a kind of The tools of self-destructive tendencies to defeat conservatives. If we do this, then even if we defeat conservatives, it doesn’t make any sense, and even the gains outweigh the losses."
"So, you decided to leave the galaxy?"
"For me, this was the only option at the time."
"Why not do it more thoroughly?"
"what?"
"Destroy human civilization directly, and even destroy the entire solar system, to fundamentally eliminate disasters."
"I want to do this too, but I can't do it." Yang Guang smiled faintly and said, "The point is that when I decided to leave the Milky Way, I already knew that our radicals had suffered a crushing defeat in the Northern Alpha Galaxy and controlled the Northern Alpha Galaxy. Is still conservative."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Can you still keep in touch with other people from the Silent School?"
"Of course not." Yang Guangchang exhaled and said, "According to the plan, the radicals will change the structure of the north and south Alpha galaxies after winning, that is, create a new central black hole and let the north and south Alpha systems come together. Obviously, this is the case. Things did not happen, so I have enough reason to believe that the radicals did not win. Although I cannot tell whether the conservatives have won, I must prepare for the worst outcome. Simply put, if the radicals are completely defeated , The conservatives still control the northern Alpha galaxy, so even if I take the spacecraft back, it may not change anything. If I fail, then who can inherit our legacy, continue to fight against the conservatives, and explore the unknown world Obviously, it can only be humans, and only humans have such motivation and ability. Even if I can't persist at that time, the results achieved by humans are related to me."
"you… "
"Don’t forget, I created mankind, so any achievements made by mankind can be regarded as my achievements. Although the existence of mankind itself is a huge threat, but in the case of self-protection, I must give us , That is, to reserve a hope for all radicals who are fighting for the common ideal. However, when making this decision, I did not expect that the pace of mankind should be so fast."
"What's the meaning?"
"In just a few thousand years, mankind completed the entire process from dominating the solar system to dominating the galaxy, and united all the intelligent creatures that evolved naturally in the galaxy, or became the commander-in-chief of all intelligent civilizations. It has also embarked on the path of self-destruction. To be honest, the ability of humans to master and use advanced technology far exceeds my imagination, and even surpasses our existence. If humans are allowed to develop without any restrictions, it will only be a few at most. In millions of years, the destruction caused by mankind is enough to affect the entire universe. Simply put, with the ability of mankind to self-destruct, the entire universe can be completely destroyed in a few million years."
Yang Yimeng was taken aback and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief, because Yang Guang's words reminded him a lot of things.
