The arc of light didn't respond to his question, it just wandered leisurely in front of him.
Zi Yang continued to question in his mind, "Who are you? Where am I? Am I dead?"
This time there was no giant screen lit up, but the arc of light seemed to have understood Zi Yang's question and stopped in front of him. A strange middle-aged male voice suddenly appeared in Zi Yang's mind:
"I am the last survivor on the planet."
"You are in the wreckage of my spaceship."
"You still maintain the human state of life."
After this arc appeared, another life suddenly appeared in the void world, and Zi Yang instantly felt no longer so alone.
"Are you dead? Are you an artificial intelligence?"
After 800,000 years, Zi Yang believes that any organism will disappear.
"What is death? What is artificial intelligence?"
Arc Guang asked rhetorically.
Then he continued to answer, "In your human understanding, my ** may be'dead', but my mind, or the soul you call it, is preserved as a quantum state."
"No Owner's Wandering Soul" Zi Yang suddenly remembered the theory that A Chong had explained to him. Continue to ask in my mind, "Then you are immortal?"
Arclight was silent for a moment, and seemed to say in a sad tone: "I will also be annihilated."
Strangely, Zi Yang could even hear human emotions from the soul of this quantum state.
As if seeing Zi Yang’s thinking (that’s certain), Arc Guang replied, “The true history of human civilization is less than 10,000 years. I have been studying life and culture on earth. I even created a language for you. -In fact, human beings on Earth are like human beings on our planet, in their emotions, the higher beings on our two planets are similar."
Zi Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that you are the ancestor of mankind in a certain sense?" The spacecraft fell 800,000 years ago. To some extent, human society had not yet originated at that time. If "it" If you like, you can become the originator of the earth's human beings.
Arclight replied: "No, although our civilization is ahead of you by millions of years, our planetary culture does not interfere with the development of other planets and ethnic groups, and respect for every life is the principle of our planet."
"It's just that I broke this rule later. 4600 years ago, I saw a tribe developing rapidly. I helped one of them, hoping to use his hand to promote the progress of the entire earth's civilization."
At this time, the arc suddenly disappeared, and the giant screen appeared in front of him. An ancient man knelt down at the feet of the god Anubis, who was a dog's head. Compared with humans, the god Anubis was very huge, more than ten meters high, with his hands in his hands. The crutch pointed at the head of the ancient man, and a beam of light enveloped him, as if Anubis was imparting knowledge and some superpower to him.
Then the picture changed. Hundreds of thousands of ancient people appeared in the desert. They drove the giant elephants and worked as busy as ants on the ground while pulling the boulders, and a huge pyramid gradually erected on the ground.
Zi Yang was speechless, "Ancient Egyptian civilization? Is it really created by aliens?"
"However, according to the technology and abilities you have, you should quickly change the development process of mankind. The technology is at least a few thousand years ahead of the present." In Zi Yang's cognition, Egyptian civilization fell thousands of years ago. , And apart from the pyramids and mysterious sacrificial temples, no other "shining" civilizations were left behind.
The arc light did not speak, and the painting style on the giant screen suddenly changed. The pious ancient man at the beginning of the picture has become a gorgeously dressed pharaoh, sitting condescendingly on a huge platform, with the scepter in his hand pointing to the front and surrounding Along the high platform, thousands of slaves crawled under his feet.
The picture continues to change.
The pharaoh began to set up a powerful army, killing and looting, and all the creatures on the earth were destroyed.
The pharaoh began to collect rare and precious treasures, greedily enjoying delicious food, surrounded by beautiful women, and enslaved groups under his feet.
One after another majestic pyramids rise, but inside are buried the pharaohs and their rich funerary objects.
At the foot of the pyramid, thousands of corpses of hard labor piled up.
At this moment, Zi Yang does not need to say that Arc Light also understands that the knowledge and superpowers given by Arc Light have not promoted the rapid development of human civilization, but have become a tool for a few people to satisfy their rights and hopes.
Zi Yang has a question in his mind, "Then why don't you take back your power? Punish them."
Arclight said, "The desire for power and slavery are the characteristics of human beings. Even if I don't interfere, they will inevitably happen in the course of history. Punishing them will only make human civilization go backwards for thousands of years."
"So what happened later?"
Arc Guang said: "I don't care about them, let them fend for themselves."
Zi Yang finally understood why a glorious ancient civilization would inexplicably disappear in history. The desire for power and ability is a double-edged sword. People who possess it do not use it to benefit mankind. Instead, they use it in the pursuit of spirit and pleasure. In order to pursue their own selfish desires, they refuse to share knowledge and ability with the public. In order to consolidate theocratic power, they Even stupid mortals. Once the secret sacrificial rites of the "divine power" and the demise of the pharaoh, civilization will automatically end.
Zi Yang said, "Yes, human beings are selfish. But you shouldn't give up. Every human being has different thoughts and realms. Perhaps changing individuals will result in different results. There are still many selfless people in this world."
Arc Guang was not "angry" about Zi Yang's "accusation": "That girl is very accurate, and you are indeed different from ordinary people."
Zi Yang thought: Girl, is it Su Rui? Did she also communicate with Arc Guang before
This time the arc did not reflect Zi Yang’s brain waves. Instead, he said to himself, “I really didn’t give up. As you said, I did a lot of attempts. It’s just that after the first lesson, how much I participated in. It’s a lot weaker, try not to affect human civilization as the principle."
"But several attempts have failed. They are either full of fear of my incarnation, worshiping ignorantly as a god, or full of selfish desires, wanting to occupy more things and demand higher rights, and none of them are developing in the direction I expect. "
"Thousands of years ago, I was finally totally disappointed in mankind. I gave up my efforts and stopped interfering in the process of mankind. Until recently, the situation changed and I had to interfere in the development of mankind again."
Zi Yang continued to ask: "What kind of unexpected situation?"
Arclight: The spacecraft is about to run out of energy, and its exhaustion is thousands of years earlier than I estimated.
The reason why I broke the rules and interfered in the earth's civilization was actually compelling.
The shuttle I was riding on represented the most advanced technology on our planet at that time. After the crash on Earth, I tried to repair it. Later I found out that I couldn't do it alone without the help of a strong external force.
I only have to wait until the civilizations on this planet have evolved enough to master space technology, and ask them for help, but just like life on earth, as an organism, my life is limited. In order to survive, I had to give up my sex. Transform my thoughts and consciousness into a quantum state-you people on earth, call this your soul.
Zi Yang understood why such an arc appeared in front of him instead of a "person".
The survivor, in fact, was already "dead" long ago, and the one who was talking to him was actually a soul, a soul that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
Arclight continued: After the spacecraft crashed, it has been relying on the core in the engine to maintain its energy supply. The sun on the roof of the cave you see is the energy core. It provides energy for the spacecraft, and the spacecraft uses the energy field to maintain the core. Balance.
After 800,000 years of consumption, the core is close to'death', and its state is becoming more and more unstable, and the energy field maintained by its energy is constantly depleting.
Decades ago, the energy field could not be completely controlled. The strange creatures you discovered before were genetic mutations caused by the chain reaction caused by energy leakage.
Zi Yangdao: So, the mysterious phenomena that occur around Lop Nur are caused by abnormal energy
The arc light paused for a while, it was a default.
"My control is gradually weakening, and the leakage is getting more and more serious. Soon, I will completely lose control of the energy field."
Zi Yang continued to think in his mind: Will something worse happen then
Arclight also responded in his mind: Compared with the loss of control of the force field, the impact of the current leak is only a drop in the ocean.
The energy core is actually a miniature star. Its operating principle is the same as that of a star. It also has a life cycle. When the energy is about to run out, the energy field that keeps it shining begins to become unstable. This will cause the stars to begin to pulsate irregularly—that is why the magnetic field anomalies you observe on space satellites are caused.
Once the energy is exhausted, the core will collapse inward. In a very short time, the temperature of the core will reach tens of billions of degrees. Without the protection of the outer energy field, the gravitation generated by it will swallow everything around.
