4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"Cough ... cough ..."

Here is a ... dark world.

The sky is densely covered with dark clouds, the ground is scattered with dense dust, and the buildings shaped by steel are standing. The colorful brilliance flashes continuously on the screens placed between these buildings. With these flashes of light, various This kind of voice also sounded, the characters on the screen are trying to promote their products, constantly making higher volume, trying to overwhelm the same kind.

But no matter how loud the noise of these advertisements, generally no one will pay attention to them.

Countless figures walked under the building with their heads down, their faces were expressionless, as if they were set machines, they were moving collectively, occasionally coughing a few times, but these subtle sounds will soon be advertised Cover it completely.

However, sometimes, some of them will raise their heads slightly, and their eyes will pass through the gaps between the buildings filled with advertisements, and look at the gray sky for only a few seconds, then they will bow their heads and continue to move forward.

"More ... virtual coins."

In this era, every living thing here basically has such an idea, so they have no time to wait, no time to rest, only to work hard ... and then die.

Such a life has been with them for a long time, a long time, until ...

…………

"Wow! Did we live in such a miserable place before?"

"Don't make a noise, be quiet when watching movies, you know?"

Here is a ... a movie theater. On the huge screen, a movie called 'Gray Age' is being shown, and on the lower seat, it is filled with a creature called the virtual people.

Most of the vain people quietly watched the content in the movie, but sometimes there was a little noise, for example, a young vain sitting next to the female vain said to his mother aloud: "You Have you lived in such a place before? How did you feel at that time? It must be very uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable looking at it! "

"Shut up and watch the movie quietly!"

"Okay ..." Seeing his mother seemed angry, the young Xumin closed his mouth, and he looked at the screen again, looking at the contents.

It was quickly attracted by the content inside. The film "Dark Age" is the latest movie to be released, which tells about the world where the virtual people used to live.

There is no protagonist or storyline in this film, it is purely a ... documentary, which records a lot of what happened in the past, and describes how the previous virtual people worked in an environment full of dust and advertisements, without virtual coins The people of China and the people with virtual currency live two very different lives. Many people continue to commit crimes in order to obtain virtual currency, so they have set more laws than mountains ... In general ...

It is a fragmentary summary of the life of a vain ... the life of the past.

When the movie was over, the female dummy took her child out of the seat and walked to the exit of the movie theater. While walking, she also said to the child, "How about, do you feel happy to be born here?" "

"Yes! I am the happiest!"

As they stepped out of the exit of the cinema, the dazzling light entered their eyes, but this was not the light from the advertisement, but the stars of the sky.

The clear sky is almost free of dirt, so the warm light can accurately reach the land, and the sky is full of clear breath. Everyone walking in front of him has a smile and joy on his face.

Because there is almost nothing here ... everything they saw in the movie just now.

There is no dust in the sky, no crime, no desperate workers ... There is clear air, an empty environment, and buildings without any advertisements ... No, maybe there are some advertisements.

"Heavy trailer!" There is a small screen next to the entrance of the movie theater, which is playing constantly flashing pictures, and also sounds that excite the people: "The super disaster super film of perfect score 'Ruins in the void', Coming soon! Please stay tuned for the latest news on the movie! "

"Ah! I want to watch this!" The cub immediately heard the words: "Will we watch this next time? OK?"

"Disaster movie? It didn't say when it will be played. Let's talk about it later." Xu Min left the cinema with a reluctant cub, what they didn't notice was ...

At the entrance of the cinema, there is an 'eye' looking at them.

"The previous documentary was very popular, General." In a room in a hemispherical building in the distance, several people were sitting around a desk, discussing the movie just now.

"Compared to the past, our life is too close to perfection, this is a new era."

"Yeah, since the last batch of thieves was resolved, there has been no crime at all, all development has been quite smooth, and no one has complained about the life now."

"The excavation of groundwater is also very good. We have found vast groundwater areas in many places. I believe this can completely replace the previous ocean, and it is still an ocean without any pollution. We will never let it be affected again. Any pollution. "

"The air in the whole environment is quite clear. The purified oxygen has spread out on a large scale. At the same time, we have recovered some extinct plants. I think ... everyone will soon forget the previous environment and welcome the new ... … "

"No, it had to be remembered before." A voice rang out, and all the people in the discussion were quiet, and they all looked at the initiator of the discourse-the general.

"So the previous documentary will only be broadcast, all people must remember ... what happened before, we can continue to progress." The general said: "Although our development status is getting better and better, but the future is still not determine."

"The entire race of our ... needs a long-term leader, one that only considers the population, not its own leader, not only one but also many, but they must all ignore their own interests ... "

The general looked at one of the civilians present: "That technique seems to be perfect."

"Yes ... yes!" This Min immediately stood up and said: "Under the new technology, our cubs have been able to enter the learning stage much earlier than before, and they can start learning just after birth ..."

"However, the specific effect still needs to be observed." The general said, looking at a screen next to it.

The screen shows the appearance of a cub that made a noise in the cinema just now. This cub is special because ... it has not lived in the previous virtual world, but a new generation.

According to the original growth rate of the virtual people, the new generation is not yet ready to learn, but this cub is already able to learn and yell.

This is mainly because a recently completed technology allows cubs to enter the learning stage more quickly, and this technology is very stable and will not affect factors such as lifespan.

This will allow the population of the virtual people to grow more quickly.

However, the general is not completely assured of this technology, so it is necessary to observe it for a period of time, and if the number of virtual people increases, the unstable factors will increase.

For example, a lot of criminals may be born, and the general is trying to completely isolate all crimes, which is also the goal it has always pursued.

Now that it has been achieved, how to maintain it is a problem ...

In addition, the general is also worried about some other issues ...

"About the next movie ..." Thinking, the general said to a man next to him, "Is the time set for the broadcast?"

"This can actually be played at any time." That Min said: "Just the source ..."

"Hasn't the source been sent yet?" Said the general. "Well, today's meeting is over ... hard work."

"Working hard!" All the people stood up and left the hall after making a gesture, leaving only the general here.

After seeing other people go out, the general took out a smaller video device, opened it and poked a fluffy spherical icon on it, entered some information in the pop-up box, and sent it out.

The message was written like this: "Hasn't the time when that thing happened yet?"

After ten seconds, the pompon icon lit up, and the response message arrived. The reply was written like this: "It may happen, or nothing may happen."

"So I have no way to decide when to close the door ..." The general sent the message again.

This is ... what happened recently.

Because the construction of the entire colony has been very smooth recently, the general asked for the construction of many entertainment facilities, including the cinema.

The general intends to release some movies in the cinema, including documentaries describing past life, etc. However, many people expressed that they would like to watch the big movies with explosive effects that they often watched before. At present, because there is no such movie, the liveliness of the cinema is not It will be very high.

And just recently, the general suddenly received a message from pompon, and pompon said he would give it a ... movie.

Pure ... disaster movie.

When the general was puzzled, the pompom also told him another thing, that is, something about 'collapse'.

This matter made the general more concerned than the movie. After careful discussion, the pompoms said that they would not be affected here, and the general was relieved.

But even so, the general is very concerned about when this kind of thing will happen, and the pompom tells it ... it will happen when the movie is released, but it is only possible.
