Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yao held his breath. I didn't expect Professor Mo Xuan to be so open and open. He didn't have to ask for any secrets to speak voluntarily.

Is it true that the teacher is bright and well-deserved and that nothing is happening?

Professor Mo Xuan said: "Our research in the spirit world is mainly to simulate the life of the material world with close to 100% authenticity, that is to ‘create’ a virtual original planet, then inject a little bit of conditions, expecting it to slowly produce virtual archaea, trichlorfon, dinosaurs, apes until the final ‘virtual intelligent life'.

“Alas, we were so childish and impatient at the time that we completely underestimated the difficulty of creating life and overestimated the computational power that we could output.

“Or, even if more computational power is output, computational power and divine soul are not positively correlated. ”

"'I don't understand,' said Li Yao. 'Please explain. ”

Professor Mo Xuan said, "For example, if you had a metal puppet that weighed a ton and was a hundred times more powerful than humans, what would you do if you wanted to turn it into a real person? Increasing its weight and output power constantly, okay? From a ton to a hundred tons, from a hundred times more powerful to 10,000 times more powerful, can it produce wisdom and will to become real life? ”

Li Yao thought something and shook his head slowly.

“Of course, no one would be foolish enough to do that, because weight and power are all things that have nothing to do with 'consciousness', but ‘computational power' is the same thing. Crazy overlapping computational power is like turning a metal puppet from a ton to a hundred tons. It's impossible to give birth to any kind of life, just causing - collapse!

“Unfortunately, we all didn't understand, or were reluctant to believe, that.

“Just a little sign of the birth of primitive life in the spirit world, we assembled twelve super-crystal brains, injected wildly into the computing power of the 'spirit world' and finally collapsed.

“I don't want to talk about that crash. Anyway, as you must have seen in the press, although there are many ingredients to add fuel and vinegar, the result is correct - Su Chang died tragically in the spiritual realm, me and Lu Light Dust's soul were severely traumatized, and as a result I suspended the 'Spiritual Realm Project', and Lu Light Dust simply betrayed the Federation and turned to the Empire.

“But to tell you a secret - I stopped the 'Spiritual Realm Project' not because I gave up, but because, just as I was caught in the turbulence of infinite computational power and torn apart in the vortex and storm of the Spiritual Realm, I suddenly figured it out and figured it out!

“Too stupid. I used to be so stupid. Too stupid.

“In just a few hundred years, it is neither possible nor necessary to create a virtual life in the sky, because we clearly have a virtual life, a virtual life that is incomparably perfect and that will never be the enemy of mankind, that is, ourselves! ”

The more excited Professor Mo Xuan said, the more excited he ended up pointing at Li Yao and Ling Xiaole again!

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole were confused for a while.

“Wait...”

Ling Xiaole took a deep breath and bit her finger. "Professor, can we call it" virtual life "? ”

“Why not? ”

Professor Mo Xuan opened his arms as if embracing the whole of heaven and earth, "What's the difference between our present state of existence and what you think of 'virtual life'? ”

“But we have a body! ”

Ling Xiaole hastily said, “This is the virtual world, our bodies are in the real world! ”

“Attention, this is the spirit world, not the virtual world. ”

Professor Mo Xuan's tone rarely got harsher, and a moment later, he lowered his tone. “Yes, you have a body, but the ghost repair didn't. The ghost repair is just a very complicated and unpredictable spiritual magnetic fluctuation. A small chip is enough to hold you, so can you agree that ghost repair without a body shell is a kind of 'virtual life’? ”

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole glanced at each other and saw the tangle between their eyes. Ling Xiaole twisted her head for half a day, humming: “Okay, okay, Professor, if you have to say so, ghost repair can really be a kind of ‘virtual life’, is a... spiritual people. ”

“More than that. ”

Professor Mo Xuan looked deeply at the two people and said deeply, “Can you agree that from the point of view of the law and the public order of society, ghost cultivation is a part of humankind? ”

“Of course!”

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole did not hesitate.

This is a affirmation that, since the enactment of the Federal Ghost Affirmative Rights Act more than 200 years ago, ghost repairs or spiritual communities have had the same legal status as ordinary people.

For more than two hundred years, it's enough to integrate the vast majority of ghost repairs into normal society.

“Moreover, the demonic race, however strangely shaped, with wings, tails, claw teeth and horns, as long as he possesses the human soul and lives by himself as a member of human civilization, he is also human. ”

Professor Mo Xuan stared at Ling Xiaole, “Agreed? ”

“Agreed! ”

Ling Xiaole nodded vigorously. She is a half demon herself. How could she disagree?

Professor Mo Xuan laughed and stretched out his three thick and long fingers: “So you can all agree that whether there is no spiritual clan of the body, or a demon clan of strange shape of the body, or a people whose body looks‘ normal ', but who may be able to walk with a sword or blow out thousands of kilograms of boxing power, no matter how different the body of the three, it doesn't even matter if the body, but they are all an organic part of human civilization? ”

Li Yao shrugged, painstakingly pondering the trap in this sentence, but couldn't refute it for half a day. He nodded slowly: “Yes. ”

“In other words, do you all agree that man is not a body, but a divine soul? ”

Professor Mo Xuan said, "As long as the soul is human, how can the body change, even without it? For example, Representative Lin, if one day you unfortunately sacrificed in the battle to defend human civilization and lost your body, but were to be reborn in the form of 'ghost repair', would you still be human? ”

Li Yao blinked: “Of course! ”

“So, flesh doesn't matter, and the true face of our ‘human’ life form is‘ divine soul ’, and we are a special kind of virtual life. ”

Professor Mo Xuan concluded, "And the so-called flesh and blood body is just a layer of ‘shell’, a shell that helps us come down to the material world to carry out activities, something like a crystalline armor, except that this layer of 'flesh and blood' is our innate equipment, like the egg shell of an egg animal!

“Because it's just a shell, it doesn't matter if it's there or not, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it doesn't matter if it has a long horn, it doesn't matter if it can eject 50 kilograms of power and 5 kilograms of power, it just doesn't matter if it's a different 'model', it doesn't matter essentially, right? Right!”

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole both slowly opened their mouths. Although Professor Mo Xuan's argument was absurd, it was further refined and felt impeccable!

If we acknowledge that ghost cultivation is a part of mankind and that demonic tribes are also part of mankind, it doesn't really matter what the “body” of mankind looks like, what matters is the divine soul!

So, flesh and blood are just shells, and human beings are virtual life, or, in other words, "spiritual life”!

“Do you understand my initial stupidity? ”

Professor Mo Xuan seemed to laugh and not to cry and muttered, “We humans are a kind of virtual life, but I ignore the fact that we are so close to creating a new kind of virtual life and causing irreparable accidents, which is so foolish.

“Wrong, wrong, the research direction in the past was completely wrong. With the explosive development of crystal brain and spiritual web technology, we should focus not on creating a whole new virtual life, but on how to allow us humans to make new leaps on the path of evolution, fully enter new forms, completely virtual life forms! ”

Li Yao suddenly raised his hand.

Professor Mo Xuan: "Representative Lin, what's the problem? ”

Li Yao: “Professor Mo Xuan, I wonder if you could turn into a giant rainbow lollipop and introduce us while licking the lollipop? ”

Professor Mo Xuan: “Why do you do this? ”

Li Yao: “Because I think that you are very much like the kind of ambitious big rebels that often appear in novels, games and dazzling phantoms, which makes me very nervous, I was wondering if you could lick the lollipop and say that the atmosphere would be more relaxed. ”

Ling Xiaole: "... Well, Professor, I agree with Special Envoy Lin's proposal. Your theory is somewhat creepy. ”

Professor Mo Xuan: "Yes! ”

He punched a loud finger, and he pulled it out in his arms, and he really pulled out a big, round spiral of rainbow lollipop, ripped the wrapping paper, licked it carefully, and slowed it down: "If you're still nervous, if I tell you, I've already written these theories into monographs and presented them to the top of the federal government and to university academic institutions, and right now, every corner of the 'Worry-Free Realm', including this conversation we're having, is being closely monitored by the Secret Sword Bureau. Would it make you feel better?

“I can even get the secret sword that is monitoring here to join in. Perhaps Miss Ling can identify a few more colleagues. Do you need them? ”

A middle-aged man with a deep eye, a strong face, an archaic look and a very wide shoulder, licking a large rainbow lollipop very seriously, this scene is really somewhat... unspeakable.

It is true, however, that the gloomy and madness of the atmosphere just now has been washed away without a trace.

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole blinked at the same time. As Li Yao's "Special Envoy to the Speaker of the Xinghai Republic”, it would be unreasonable to visit a secret project of such high specification as the "Spark Project” without being stared at dead by the secret sword bureau.

“I know what you're thinking, but it's not what you think. ”

Professor Mo Xuan faintly said, “Representative Lin, how much time would you normally spend in the crystal brain and online world if calculated in 24 hours a day? ”

Li Yao thought about it: “If you count the cultivation of the illusory realm, for more than a dozen hours, after all, after reaching my level, computational power and divine soul are very powerful. In the illusory realm, you can stretch it for a long time, use it for three or four hours an hour. A lot of deduction and cultivation work can be carried out in the virtual world. ”

Professor Mo Xuan nodded: “Miss Ling, what about you? ”

Ling Xiaole thought about it: “Not necessarily, it may be a little less when you go on a mission, but you basically spend all day on the internet on vacation. If you combine it, it should be more than a decade. ”

“Well, you're all approaching federal internet access time. ”

Professor Mo Xuan smiled, "According to the latest statistics, if you convert the time on different planets and ships into 24 hours a day, the average time spent by federals, men, women and children alike, on the Spiritual Net is nine hours and 22 minutes a day, and if you are between the ages of eight and 120, the average time spent online is twelve hours and 33 minutes, just over half.

“Although time is‘ just ’more than half the time, almost all the important things that modern people do, work, entertain, make friends, call cars, order take-outs, express opinions, improve themselves… are done online.

“It can be said that the focus of modern human life has long been completely and irreversibly transferred to the network!

“I'd like to ask both of you, if half of your life and 90% of your content, whether working, practicing or eating, making friends or even having sex, must and are happy to do it online, are you carbon-based or virtual? Do your spirits live in the Internet or in the material world? Isn't that flesh and blood in the so-called ‘reality' just a ‘shell’ to ensure that you can access the Internet normally and that you can reproduce the next generation so that they can also continue to access the Internet normally?

“Acknowledging that human beings are a virtual life, networks are our future, our nature, our everything! Is this really hard? ”

Professor Mo Xuan gritted the rainbow lollipop, sounding like a hong bell and chopping a nail to interrupt the iron.

------------

Fifth is done. Ho, ho, ho!

Let's play a little game together, according to our own method, how much time it takes to get online every day, how many points in life are done through the Internet!

Congratulations, if you're over 50%, you're on your way to the evolution of virtual life forms!

Happy birthday, Happy birthday!
