"Of course, the problem remains the same. Why did the creator leave this spaceship?" The man brought the topic back and brought Yang Yi back to the universe. "To ask in another way, that is, why the creation of mankind, that is, what is the purpose of creating mankind? Obviously, it is definitely not to find this spacecraft, because it is a means to an end. If we consider more, we still You will find that since the creation of humans, why not directly, such as providing advanced technology, or even improving the capabilities of humans? Of course, there are still many questions. For example, after creating humans, why did the creators not stay?"
Yang Yi thought about it seriously, but couldn't think of a reason.
"Of course, you have guessed that the universe is a huge prison. To be precise, each star system is a separate prison, and the intelligent civilization, including humans, is the prisoner in these prisons. Although you can travel from a star system Another star system, but cannot cross the prison walls. Your guess is not wrong in nature. The problem is that you have ignored the existence of the creator."
"Ignore?"
"Assuming that your guess is correct, that there is no trans-star system aerospace technology, the obstacles between the various prisons are insurmountable, at least they cannot be solved in a simple way. Then, create the existence of these prisons? Obviously, they must have mastered the existence of these prisons. Related means. More importantly, the existence of these prisons must be related to the creators who created human beings, and they are likely to be at the same level."
"You mean..."
"Obviously, if human beings were created, then there is a way to create human existence to allow humans to travel from the Milky Way to any other star system. Now, the problem arises." The man paused for a while before saying, "Creator Leaving this spacecraft is obviously hoping that mankind can find this spacecraft, acquire the advanced technology on the spacecraft, make a leap in science and technology, and become a higher-level civilization. The problem is that the creators did not leave a trans-star system aerospace. Technology has restricted mankind to the galaxy. More importantly, the creator has given mankind a hope of development and growth, but has not given mankind a bright future. Don't you think this is a contradiction?"
"This… "
"There is no doubt that the demand for resources of a civilization is directly proportional to the level of science and technology, and it grows exponentially. In ancient times, primitive humans only needed food and a small amount of warm clothing. In the farming age, all they need is nothing more than food and a small amount of warm clothing. Land and water. In the industrial age, minerals and fossil energy are needed. In the aerospace age, more energy is needed, especially the elements for fusion. Although with the improvement of technology, human demand for space is decreasing, but the demand for resources The demand is always increasing. If the energy is used as the benchmark, the energy consumed by a person in the aerospace age is equivalent to that of millions of people in a kingdom in the farming age. It is obvious that when human beings move toward other star systems, they leave their footprints in In the entire galaxy, the demand for energy is even more amazing. Although the galaxy is extremely large, equal to hundreds of millions of solar systems, one day, sooner or later, the resources of the galaxy will not be able to satisfy human beings. In fact, this day will come soon because of the mastery of creation. After the legacy left by the author, the speed of human science and technology development has far exceeded that of any previous period. When the resources of the galaxy cannot meet the needs of mankind, what should mankind do?"
"What the creator left is not a legacy, but a noose around the neck of mankind, and mankind will tighten this noose without stopping."
The man smiled faintly and said: "In the end, mankind will perish because of what he did."
Yang Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.
"Do you think this is the purpose of the creator leaving the spaceship?"
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, his brows frowned.
"Of course, you can't answer this question, but it's actually normal, because what you know is too limited, and you haven't let go of your vision."
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you know how many star systems there are in this universe?"
Yang Yi froze for a moment, then shook his head.
"Of course, I don't know, but it's certainly not much less or even more than the number of star systems in the Milky Way, and the edge of the universe has not been discovered so far. In other words, there are infinitely many star systems in the universe." Out of breath, he said, "Now, let's make an assumption that every intelligent civilization in the star system has a creator, and all have left a legacy. Then, how many creators are there in total, and how many shares are there in total? Legacy? Obviously, there are infinitely many. Even if each legacy is indivisible and is discovered by an intelligent life, or there is only one result, then there are infinitely many results."
Yang Yi frowned, thinking carefully, still can't think of why.
"Even if each legacy can only be a result, and it is only a smart individual, in the entire universe, there are infinitely many smart individuals who find the creator's legacy and become the result. Obviously, even if it is only a small part of it. Understanding the creator’s intentions and gathering them together in some way is also a force that cannot be underestimated, and can even change the entire universe."
"You mean, the purpose of the creator is to select an individual from the intelligent creatures created?"
"Not a selection, but a random result."
"The question is, if the creator needs only a certain intelligent individual, is it so troublesome? Why not be straightforward, such as directly choosing one? More importantly, since it can change an intelligent individual, there can be more. Why should Limited to one?"
"Obviously, you mentioned two issues, one is time and the other is quantity."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he meant it.
The man smiled faintly and said: "Obviously, at the level of the creator, time is definitely not a problem. Maybe the creator has no concept of time at all, and is not bound by time. So for the creator, a few seconds and hundreds of millions There is no difference between years and no impact. As for the number, it is actually easier to understand. Take you as an example, with your current strength, in the ancient times of human civilization, it is absolutely a godlike existence, let alone an ancient civilization, even if The billions of people in the industrial age are not your opponents alone. Obviously, the number is not important. In addition, there are countless star systems in the universe, so countless intelligent individuals have gained the legacy of the creator."
"This… "
"Now I understand?"
"You mean, the creator did not leave the spaceship for mankind, but for himself?"
"Obviously, you are indeed my son."
Yang Yi couldn't help but smiled bitterly. He was not happy at all now, because there was nothing to be happy about.
"For creators, we may not be as good as domestic animals in captivity, at least humans care about domestic animals, and creators obviously don’t care about us. So, don’t think of creators too noble, they created humans, and we know All of the intelligent lives of the people are only for themselves. As for the fate of these intelligent lives, the creator does not care at all, or even considers it at all."
"So you think that the creator did not leave the trans-star system aerospace technology?"
"It's not just that."
"What else?"
"Obviously, the creator created not only us, but also the solar system in which we were born, the galaxy we are in, and even our universe."
"You mean..."
"Obviously, as long as the creator is willing, he can be restricted when creating this universe, so that the activities of intelligent life are strictly restricted.
"It's easier to manage."
"Yes."
Yang Yi exhaled, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Of course, we are lucky, at least I am lucky."
"Then, why didn't the creator destroy mankind or all the intelligent civilizations in the galaxy? You know, you have been selected, and there is already a result!"
"Do you think the creators care about this?"
At this time, Yang Yi really didn't know what to say.
"Besides, strictly speaking, I was not selected by the creator because I am not a human being."
"what?"
"Of course, to be precise, I only have half of human blood, and the other half comes from the creator."
"This… "
"Obviously, this is a result that no one expected. At least, compared to the other result we know, that is, the God Emperor of the Silicon Magic Alliance, I am an alternative. If my judgment is not wrong, then the God Emperor It is the result that the creator wants. The Silicon Magic Alliance can exist for millions of years after the emperor, and it has never encountered resource problems, which may have an inevitable relationship with this."
"With what?"
“The creator cares only about the result, not the intelligent life created. Then the Silicon Magic Alliance can exist stably for millions of years. It is certainly not the creator’s credit, but the God Emperor’s credit. It is the God Emperor who made the Silicon Magic Alliance a credit. Existed, it was the god emperor who did all this."
"But the Emperor of God is already dead."
"Dead?" The man smiled faintly, and said: "Although I am very different from the god emperor, I am sure that the god emperor is not dead."
"what!?"
"Of course, it's not alive in the usual sense."
Yang Yi looked at the man dumbfounded, with a completely unbelievable appearance.
"After saying so much, you don’t need to worry. I know why you are here and what you want. Now, I already know that you are Yang Yi, so I will give you control of the spacecraft, and even help you. Decipher that message. But before that, you have to be fully mentally prepared, because the content of the message is the opposite of what you expect, and it may even make you feel desperate."
"Listening to you so much, do you think I will still despair?"
