Silent Crown Chapter 823: The end of nature
"Soul..."
Ye Xuan whispered softly.
"What?" Roland didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing."
Ye Xuan smiled, did not speak.
He can't describe his feelings at the moment, is it joyful or heavy?
He doesn't know.
If this is true, then after that day comes, human consciousness can also break through the limitations of the past and upload it from the body to this magnificent miracle, right?
It's a match made in heaven.
There are eternal matter without consciousness, and human beings who possess consciousness but cannot pursue eternity...
Get rid of the limitations of the body, human beings can obtain eternal existence from miracles.
Isn't this the birth of the "soul"?
But for the first time he doubted, is this really good?
Is this the soul of my dream?
Can it really bring the so-called happiness and fulfillment of mankind?
After a long time, he closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"Mr. Roland."
"Huh?"
"Regardless of whether your idea is possible or not, how can you be sure that we can control this ‘unknown substance’?"
Ye Xuan asked.
He always likes the one with the most beautiful scenery. He is specifically responsible for this. When the crew committee occasionally dreams, remind them that their dreams are not so beautiful.
He is responsible for understanding the brain, to understand the **, to remind everyone of the price that needs to be paid behind **: "Or, how do you ensure that the ‘unknown substance’ can be used by us?"
Roland was stunned.
His expression became rigid.
"Mr. Ye... We have initially established a bridge of communication with unknown substances through sound..." He explained somewhat confusedly: "This is just the beginning. It has great potential.
I believe that one day we will be able to master their power! "
Ye Xuan couldn't help laughing.
It made Roland's look even more ugly.
"What is this?" he asked, "the cycle of history?"
"Since you talked about bridges. Then you should understand that bridges are two-way, right?"
Ye Xuan looked into his eyes and asked every word: "Bai Nan is not here, then I will ask him the questions he should ask instead of Bai Nan.
How do you ensure that they will not expel mankind after generating self-awareness like the broken copper and iron on the earth? Or, have you forgotten our lesson? Or do you just want to show your talents and create a monster beyond our control? "
"But, but... they are different! They don't even have thinking... They don't have any self-recognition at all, they just respond purely to sounds!" Roland retorted excitedly.
"No."
Ye Huan spoke up. He categorically refutes: "Information produces laws, laws form prescripts, and prescribes become fixed responses. Through responses, they form a logical machine.
The Greeks said that there is no soul in human beings. "Consciousness" is just an illusion of self-deception. "Self" is just a reflection machine formed by countless logic valves after countless learning and failures. Are you not creating all of this? "
"I...I..."
Roland was sweating and looked at Xiao Huan with hope in his eyes.
"Well, Mr. Roland, you go out first."
Xiao also pinched out the cigarette: "Your work is over."
Roland is gone.
Very reluctant.
It's like being driven away.
In the silence, Xiao still got up and walked to the storage cabinet that was raised in the corner.
"Before I left the earth, my family had a huge foundation. Thanks to my parents, I was born with a golden spoon. Their legacy continues to this day, and then... only this is left."
He stretched out his hand and took out the box with a bottle of orange liquor inside.
"Two hundred years ago, when synthetic wine destroyed the traditional winemaking industry, it was the last batch of whiskey made from natural grains. I don’t think I can drink anything special, but now is a good time, we can come Point."
Speaking, he opened the bottle.
Liquor fragrance.
Ripple between the ice cube and the cup.
The cup was placed in front of Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan did not touch it.
"Why did you call me here?" Ye Xuan lowered his head: "I'm just a psychiatrist, a committee member who makes up the number. Do you want to breathe with me first, and then pass the committee's vote?"
"What if this is the case?" Xiao looked at him fortunately.
"If so, I won't agree." Ye Xuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "It's up to you to live or die, Captain, I accept your love, but let me keep my pessimism. Right."
"Put away this look and bring up the wine glass."
Xiao was still sitting opposite him, looking at him, with an indifferent expression: "I am going to kill enough people today, not including you, you can rest assured."
Ye Xuan opened his eyes in astonishment and looked at him.
Not because I am not on the death list.
But because of his previous sentence...
For so many years, Xiao has always looked like a cheerful big beard, with a straight-forward and rude temper, but abiding by his principles. Many people hate him and dare not say, but the immigration ship cannot do without him, everyone knows.
It is that he has always suppressed the conflicts of all people in a gentle and irrefutable way, maintained the peace and coexistence of the committee, and has gone through the ups and downs during the long years.
He never abused lynching, nor did he act emotionally because of his likes and dislikes.
Well, he is born to be a material for big things, a big brother who takes the lead, you may not like him, but you will definitely admire his wrist and heart.
Now, he is about to start killing.
So, who will die?
Bai Nan? Liu Dongli? Zhao Qian? Or is it more people?
Such a huge impact, Ye Xuan couldn't accept it.
"I'm very tired now, Ye Xuan, just want to find someone to drink some wine, so don't move your little head anymore and bring up the wine glass."
Xiao still maintained his original posture, looking at him.
Ye Xuan was silent for a long time, and raised his wine glass.
The wine glasses collide, and the sound is crisp.
The golden liquor swayed between the ice cubes, like a sea of gold carrying a glacier.
"Cheers."
Xiao also raised his head and drank it.
When Ye Xuan put down the wine glass, he suddenly felt a heart palpitations, and a vague auditory hallucination came from a distance.
It's like countless people are wailing.
But across the distant space, there is no sound to transmit, and the last cry of life will only be annihilated in the cold universe.
What is left is nothing but a brilliant spark.
Ye Xuan looked back blankly, feeling black in front of his eyes.
He saw it.
Outside the huge porthole, in the deep space, a huge flame suddenly rises in the distance.
It's an immigration ship.
A distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, he could not see the specific outline, all he could see was a dazzling spark, like a flower, blooming in the silent darkness.
Iron slurry and the flower of blazing fire.
Blood and broken bones evaporate, dissipate, fall toward the earth, turning into silver burning rain.
"Steven..."
Ye Xuan still remembers the name of this friend.
At that moment, he finally understood something, turned his head stiffly, looked at Xiao Huan, his expression twitched:
"Did you kill them?"
"Well, doing tricks is troublesome after all."
Xiao also poured himself a fresh glass and sipped the wine from his hometown. "Although the immigration ship has large weapons to deal with meteorites and meteors, once it is activated, it will be sensed by the opponent's radar.
It really took a lot of my brain.
Fortunately, everyone is sailing on the same track. You can always leave some gifts for your next home on the way. "
"You are crazy!"
Ye Xuan screamed and roared, this time, he really felt like a sissy, hysterical.
Because the worst murderer in human history is right in front of him, and he personally admitted that he murdered 410,000 people on board the South American immigrant ship!
"In a lunatic asylum, the person who is always mad first has an advantage, doesn't he?"
He raised his head, looked at Ye Xuan's pale face, and then ordered: "Sit down, don't waste my time, if you want to know why..."
Ye Xuan suppressed his anger and fear, and sat back where he was.
"Drink some and be nice to you."
A glass of wine was pushed over.
"For a long time, many people did not know that although the size of the immigration ships are the same, the emphasis of each immigration ship is different.
For example, the South American immigration ship that was just destroyed was a fortification type, with 16 large-caliber main guns and 10,000 carrier-based aircraft that we didn't have.
For example, the Eastern European immigrant ships walking ahead of us on the track, they have the best life-saving equipment, and the food and supply will never be cut off.
The advantage of the East Asian immigration ship lies in the three artificial intelligences that we brought from the earth, namely the "East Prince" produced by Taiqing Heavy Industries, and the "Hull" produced by Zarathustra Research Office. Moss, and the Nibelungen specially made for us by New Switzerland.
Many people may think that one is enough, and the computing power of the three has been surplus, but what we are good at is only technology.
Because of this, we can learn the truth about the "unknown matter" six hours earlier than them. "
Xiao also drank in a heroic posture, raised a finger, and in front of Ye Huan: "Now, I have a psychological experiment for you."
He said, "The world is destroyed by God.
Three broken boats drifted in the sea, driven by three people with completely different personalities, A, B, and C, but at the same time extremely selfish. They occasionally help each other, but only to have a companion in the long journey and communicate with themselves.
And now, they have gone through the long suffering and the torture of the sea, and have found a new land.
The new land is fertile, has many prey, and even has magical magic, which can make people obtain money, rights and even immortality, and allow people to create their own new world and empire.
So, now outside of the island, as the first person to discover the truth, what would you choose to do? "
Ye Xuan was silent.
Isn't the result clear?
This is their current situation. It's just that Xiao realized the three groups of immigrant boats into three people.
In a resource-poor world, human beings form a collective just to survive, and the nature of the collective is selfish. In other words, the nature of human beings is selfish.
As long as you can make your members live better, then you will do all the most conscienceless things. Even if the leader does not do this, the people will force the leader to choose this way during the riots.
What's more, there is a magic that leads to heaven.
If the three parties can maintain a balance, it may not be impossible to develop together, but if the North American immigration ship discovers the nature of the unknown substance, then as the most powerful immigration ship, it will definitely choose to fire and attack.
Occupy the new world exclusively...
Along the way, have they done so few things like this?
This is human nature, the eternal law from the jungle to the space.
The weak eats the strong.
Human beings are animals. They cannot deny their own animal nature, nor can they resist the temptation to live.
Ye Xuan knew all about this.
There may be individuals who are kind, compassionate, and willing to cooperate with the outside world, but more people will not risk their own death to consider others.
Xiao also did what he was supposed to do.
As he always did, he took responsibility for the immigration ship, and then personally produced the consequences of this massacre.
No need to answer, Ye Xuan has figured out all this, or he knew from the beginning that all this was going to happen, but he couldn't believe him.
Now he just feels very tired.
"Why tell me?"
Ye Xuan drank the bitter wine and looked at him: "Do you need psychological counseling?"
"Do you mean lying in a chair and talking in sleep like a little girl? Then? Excuse the shadow of my childhood, the obstacles in my heart, to escape the sins I committed? Forget it." Xiao doesn't care. Shook his head.
He was drunk, but his eyes were awake.
"The war is about to begin, Ye Xuan, get ready."
He said, "Next, you and all the other precious talents will be sent to the safest place on this ship, with independent circulating equipment and materials, enough for you to survive in space and the earth for twenty years.
If you have made a will in the central core, when I die, you will be the new captain. "
He tore off a pendant from his neck, and the iron plate on it was engraved with fine writing.
"This is the password for emergency takeover of the system. When necessary, Yuan Eryi will obey your orders."
The sirens sounded, and the crimson sirens continued to emerge from the top dome, prompting to be targeted and locked.
"The wine is finished, Ye Xuan."
Xiao also waved, "You should go now."
The door opened, and the fully armed Yuan Eryi was waiting for him.
"Last question."
Ye Xuan looked at him, "Why me?"
"Because you can understand everything I do, don't you?"
Xiao is still smiling, like mocking, but also like pity:
"Because you understand humans, Ye Xuan.
So, when necessary, you will do it, just like me. "
Ye Xuan turned and left.
It's like fleeing.
Run away from yourself and become the devil.
Because Xiao was right.
If it were him, he would do the same.
He was just lucky, he didn't have the chance to become the devil.
Before the door closed, he heard Xiao Huan's last voice.
The man lay on a chair, staring at the distant ground outside the window, drinking the last bottle of whiskey in the world.
"Ye Xuan, I am so jealous of you."
He whispered softly, "At least, you can breathe the air of the new world."
-
-
The door is closed.
Ye Xuan closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and said nothing.
Only Yuan Eryi patted him on the shoulder carelessly, looking like a good buddy. He never cared about anyone, he didn't even care about himself.
He only cares about the fights he has.
Now, his chance has come.
"I know everything, Axuan, we will rely on you."
Yuan Eryi threw another pack of chewing tobacco into his mouth. Tobacco can soothe his burning nerves, making him at least look... more stable.
"Let's go~IndoMTL.com~I will take you to your little room."
Ye Xuan heard the shouts from a distance. Someone wanted to rush over but was stopped by Yuan Eryi's hands. The group of fellows who also had no sympathy punched the poor ghost to the ground, and then stepped on it.
It's Roland.
He was used as a toy for the group of people to eliminate their leisure time, playing with him, even his glasses were crushed.
Extremely embarrassed.
Yelling his name.
"Mr. Ye! Mr. Ye! Please take me!" He stretched out his hand to catch Ye Xuan, but was kicked away, but still refused to give up, got up from the ground and looked at Ye Xuan:
"At least, please take a look, take a look at this!"
He tried his best to throw a pile of materials at Ye Xuan, and the materials flew in the air, like snowflakes, on the ground.
Ye Xuan didn't look at him or didn't want to speak, so he chose to turn from the corner ahead.
"Why don't you understand! Mr. Ye, don't you know what this means!"
Not far away, Roland glared at him, screaming frantically: "Mastering unknown substances, our technology, our lives, and our resources will all take an unprecedented leap!
Even in our lifetime, we will be able to enter heaven!
Think about it, Mr. Ye, the group of machines that drove us out of our homes, the group of artificial intelligence, even if they exhaust all resources and completely turn the entire solar system into silicon crystals, the computing power they get is not enough One in 10,000!
With it, we can be omnipotent, and even... can create gods! "
Ye Xuan's footsteps stopped.
He lowered his head and looked at the pile of torn paper under his feet.
"Then what?"
He turned his head and looked down at Roland's deformed face.
It's like passing through the shell and glimpsing what humans can never satisfy**:
"Kill him again?"
