"Virtual universe?" Lin Li was startled.
The Buddha's pursuit turned out to be a virtual world
If you can't find the realistic Tao, then give up, then turn around.
Even when the network technology of earth civilization has developed to a certain level, it has begun to conceive of uploading consciousness, let alone alien civilization.
As long as the technology is high enough, it is entirely possible to create a virtual world that is almost indistinguishable from reality.
Huang Ji said: "Pursuing the Tao is the real way of our universe, but the Buddha descends to one dimension and seeks the supreme through emptiness."
"To put it bluntly, I live in my own world and control the 'rules' that are already one level lower than my own."
"So there are countries in the palm of the Buddha, and there are endless worlds."
The country of Buddha is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, which means the country opened up by the enlightened ones.
This is the virtual world, everything you want to do can be easily achieved, naturally it is bliss!
The only drawback is that the upper limit of progress is sealed.
Everything that happens inside is either purely virtual, or it is the result of simulation based on the knowledge mastered by the creator.
And the creator's knowledge comes from the real universe, so no matter how much the creator studies in the virtual universe, it is impossible to help this civilization progress in the real universe.
Huang Ji sighed: "Taoism talks about detachment, upward detachment."
"Buddhism talks about enlightenment, turn your head and stay on the shore... If you can't go up, you won't go, and if you go down, you will be detached..."
The two cultural trends of Taoism and Buddhism are opposite and unified.
From the perspective of the universe, one realizes the highest state, and then formulates an ideal goal.
From the perspective of beings, one realizes that manpower is limited, and then gives a realistic plan.
Most civilizations in the universe are seekers of Tao, but if there are seekers, there will naturally be those who give up halfway.
There is no shortage of salted fish anywhere... It takes unremitting persistence and great courage to be willing to explore the unknown and carry forward in the endless sea of suffering.
"There is a virtual sandbox game universe in the palm of your hand, a vast world, and you can create it at will, isn't it blissful?" Lin Li immediately understood.
Just by imagining it, he couldn't help but feel that the reality is simply a sea of suffering!
Lin Li sighed: "If I want to choose... I will choose Buddha..."
Huang Ji nodded and said: "So Buddha must also be a very popular trend of thought in the universe. It cannot be said to be wrong, because the ultimate goal of Tao has neither been proven nor falsified."
"So logically, there must be a trend of thought based on the premise of 'Tao can be achieved', and there must be a cultural trend of thought based on the premise of 'Tao cannot be achieved'."
"On the issue of 'whether the universe can be controlled by rules' by a certain super civilization, complete the proof, or falsify. Only then will Buddha and Taoism distinguish right from wrong."
Lin Li said: "I'm afraid no civilization in the universe can prove or falsify this question, right?"
Huang Ji glanced at him, but said nothing.
Just now, he has used his information perception to get a definite answer: yes.
The laws of nature can be changed and created.
The universe allows rule editors to appear, that is, the so-called God can exist.
Way down the road, the message made it clear that it was right.
The path of Buddha is wrong from the premise. It can only be regarded as an entertainment choice, and it cannot be regarded as the development direction of a civilization.
If a civilization regards creating a real, but lower-level reality world as a direction of its efforts, then it will go a long way...
Of course, it is not impossible to continue to detach yourself. Who cares what you like
"Brother, you said this is a Buddha finger bone, but it's metal..." Lin Li said.
Huang Ji said: "The aliens told Gautama that if he spread the thought of Buddha, he would naturally give benefits. The benefit is that 'you will be a Buddha in the next life'. Death, nirvana. This means that his mission in this life has been completed, and the so-called 'afterlife' is when his consciousness is uploaded to the server after nirvana and enters the mechanical body, so the metal mechanical body is called the 'Buddha bone'."
"From that moment on, the mortal Gautama died and became the World Honored One of the people on Earth. This is a certain Buddhist civilization that invaded the Earth's culture. Paradise."
"I think it can be directly understood as... recruiting members... and the Buddha is the administrator, and the World Honored One is just a category of administrators, probably the administrators specially set up for primitive civilizations."
Hearing this, Lin Li was a little surprised and said, "As long as you believe in Buddhism, can you really enter the virtual world?"
Huang Ji looked at him with a funny face, pointed to the finger on the table and said, "Here, this is all that's left of your Buddha..."
"..." Lin Li looked at his finger and said, "The Buddha was killed?"
Huang Ji said: "In the past, there really was a Buddha on Earth, a 'King Kong Body', but it should have been destroyed by other aliens not long ago... This finger is probably just a remnant left behind."
Although he said it in a guessing way, he is actually very sure that Shakyamuni's mechanical body was directly smashed to pieces by a beam of light falling from the sky...
The beam of light emitted from the moon directly vaporized most of Shakyamuni's body, leaving only a few fragments remaining.
This Buddha finger bone is one of the fragments.
Huang Ji secretly sighed: The moon is still awesome, that is the main civilization that really keeps the earth in captivity. A certain Buddhist civilization probably just wanted to fight the autumn wind. It might not have been discovered at the beginning, but after it was discovered, it was immediately eliminated.
If you think about it carefully, it is possible that Gautama has been used. The real purpose of the Buddhist aliens may just be to collect some consciousness, some 'advanced wisdom' npc, or even just a temptation.
What the World Honored One said, and what allowed you to become a Buddha, are all lies. Although it was really given, and it was given to Gautama in advance, after Gautama became a Buddha and entered the body of a vajra, he did not have "eternal life" for a long time before he was killed.
Wouldn't the Buddhist extraterrestrials who secretly fooled Gautama know about this kind of thing? It must have been expected.
In the meantime, there may be an upper-level game among alien civilization groups, and Gautama is just a pawn of the earth people.
Huang Ji knew through the Buddha's finger bones that Gautama had harvested a large amount of earthlings' consciousness during the short years of manipulating the mechanical body, and all of them were transmitted away through gravitational waves, and these consciousnesses are actually very precious.
True wisdom cannot be copied. Although thinking is an electrochemical reaction, it is not limited to this.
Simulating the same electrochemical reaction through technology does not produce intelligence and self-thought.
The virtual world can simulate that kind of electrochemical reaction and think with data, but it is still just 'hardware'. If you want to simulate the same intelligence as reality, there is still something missing.
What is lacking, even the aliens don't know what it is, it is provided by the evolution of life in nature.
Want to artificial? Yes, directly in the real universe, it can be realized through biochemical technology or robot technology, but it cannot be created in the virtual world.
In the virtual world, depending on the technology and computing resources, low-level AI, high-level AI can be generated, and real NPCs can be loaded.
The loaded real NPC is just a medium, memory and body can be generated by technology, what kind of memory and what kind of racial template is generated, then he is what it is.
This is the advanced server in the virtual universe.
Otherwise, where is the saying "everything you want to do can be easily achieved"
Some people cheer and some people cry. In the so-called world of bliss for everyone, there are still those who are entertained.
"The Dao system eats people, the Buddha system refines the soul, the universe is too dark." Huang Ji sighed inwardly.
Lin Li looked at the Buddha's phalanx and asked, "Can this still work? You were unconscious just now, did you enter the virtual world?"
Huang Ji nodded and said: "This thing has a high technical content. There is a tiny server in just one finger, and it has plenty of energy."
"I tried it just now, but I can't connect to the Internet, and the virtual world is empty, the database is also damaged, there is nothing, it's just a stand-alone sandbox, and it's still a blank map."
"Just log in and take a look."
Lin Li excitedly said, "Can I go in and have a look too? Well, how do I log in?"
He was gearing up, but he couldn't find the right way.
Huang Ji said: "It can take the initiative to pull your consciousness in, and read it to me, with many songs from beginning to end..."
He said the spell-like words again, and Lin Li was shocked: "Is this a technological product, or a magic weapon?"
Huang Ji said with a smile: "A password is required to control technological products, and a password is required to log in to a game. Isn't that normal? The gap in technology is too great, so it looks like magic..."
"What I said just now is the password to apply for login. You must visualize a three-dimensional stereogram at the same time, that is the password. Only when you do both accurately at the same time, will this Buddha bone respond and load your consciousness into go in."
"This is just a submerged login, that is, a login method that does not give up the body, and it has a limited range. When you carried me into the elevator, I was automatically disconnected... I guess there should be an exchange force field around the machine. The machine can communicate in the force field, and the consciousness no longer controls the body, but exchanges information with the machine, and controls the virtual character loaded into the server."
"Because the brain loses self-control, it is equivalent to entering a state of sleep, leaving only the subconscious mind to run the body."
Lin Li nodded. The technology is so strong that it is like a myth.
He silently recited the password, and after making sure he remembered it, he asked, "Is this sentence in Sanskrit? What does it mean?"
Huang Ji said: "Part Sanskrit, part alien language. Like Simo and Kue, these are not Sanskrit."
"I once had an adventure. I read a scripture. This mantra was recorded in the scriptures. It is what Sakyamuni once said. The translation is 'knowledge can be imparted, but wisdom cannot. People can find wisdom. In the Wisdom is manifested in life, strengthens oneself with wisdom, and works wonders with wisdom, but it is impossible to impart wisdom'."
"Accompanying it is this picture, which shows a person sitting cross-legged, and behind it is a tree-like picture. It is actually a simple drawing of the scene of Sakyamuni's enlightenment. I didn't know this mantra and picture before. What is it for? I got this phalanx of the Buddha today. I tried chanting and visualization, and then I logged in. Only then did I know that it was the account of Sakyamuni... "
There is no doubt that Huang Ji is talking nonsense...
He just found out the password and password directly when he sensed the Buddha bone.
As Huang Ji said, he also drew the picture of the World Honored One's Epiphany, and asked Lin Li to memorize it by rote. There is no mistake, every proportion is accurate, and if he makes a mistake, he will not be able to log in.
Lin Li closed his eyes and began to visualize the picture while chanting words.
He tried several times, but his visualization was wrong, and there was no movement, as if he was just meditating.
After dozens of consecutive attempts, I finally got connected.
Everything was like a dream, and the consciousness directly entered another world.
It was dark all around, except for a warehouse not far away, with lights on in the warehouse.
"Let's go, I built that warehouse before, and halfway through it, you pulled it out of range and disconnected." With a swipe, Huang Ji also came in, right next to Lin Li.
Lin Li saw that Huang Ji's image was the same as in reality, but it was just a phantom, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't this the account of Sakyamuni? Can we log in at the same time?"
Huang Ji said: "This account allows many people to log in at the same time. When the same account comes in, different people have different permissions."
"Sakyamuni was uploaded after Nirvana after his death, which is equivalent to giving up the human body and choosing consciousness to live forever. So he himself is an account, which is the body of the Sakyamuni number."
"The login with his own consciousness is undoubtedly the real authority of this account. We belong to the vassal trumpet under the same account and occupy the data resources of Sakyamuni."
Lin Li asked, "How big is this world?"
"About 600 billion cubic meters." Huang Ji said.
"So big?" Lin Li had no idea about this number.
Huang Ji said: "It's actually very small. This is just a 'private stand-alone space' of Sakyamuni, which is equivalent to... your Penguin space log."
"Six hundred billion cubic meters, which is equivalent to the volume of 21 to 22 Poyang Lakes. It can only be regarded as a micro-world. In an alien civilization, any ordinary user probably has at least one such personal space. This kind of space, for For Shakyamuni in the past, there are as many as the sands of the Ganges."
Lin Li understood, thought for a while, imagined, and suddenly created a sports car in front of his eyes!
"Fuck! All wishes come true! So real!"
Lin Li looked and touched it, and it felt real, but when he got into the sports car, he found that it couldn't start at all.
Huang Ji opened the car directly, only to see that it was empty inside.
He laughed and said, "Your sports car doesn't need an engine, it can be driven with just a car shell?"
Lin Li smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just thought about the appearance, and I'm sure. So everything should be designed?"
Huang Ji said: "This is a virtual small world in reality mode. It does not have fantasy functions, so it is very hardcore."
"The database is damaged, so we can only fill it ourselves. I have already built the warehouse before, and I have saved the relevant basic metals and building materials. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to make the car shell..."
"In short, we must have enough details, the same as building a real car."
"You don't need to think about the microscopic aspects, because there is no quantum mechanics in this server. The basic unit is an atom, and you don't need to think about what is inside the atom. It is just a 'pixel' and a 'basic square'."
"Fortunately, this basic set-up is intact, with a total of 115 elements and 330 atoms."
"The entire sandbox space like this can be understood as an atomic block-level 'My World'."
