Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

As a senior fairy practitioner, the night had thought that it had seen the cruelest and most evil things in the universe, and Taoist hearts had long been so callous that they would have no mercy on the inferior race of the "original”.

But hearing Lu Qingdu's arrangement with the original people, the deepest part of the old fairy's heart, still couldn't help but tremble slightly: “Virtual companion, virtual offspring, virtual life, for these… 'people’, is nothing real? ”

“It's their choice. ”

Lu Qingdu said, “Fish and bear claws are not compatible. When you choose a life that is easier and easier, there is always a small price to pay.

“Since they will never find themselves in a virtual world, what difference does it make if it's true or false?

“If they have the ability to discover the falsehoods and quirks of the world and prove themselves eligible to live in the real world by re-testing them, then naturally they will have a real partner, a real offspring, a real life.

“It's a free choice, it's a fair deal, it's a question of choosing a fish or a bear clap. Don't be greedy, handsome.

“Of course, hard-boiled cutting off a person's blood is truly cruel, not to mention the mystery of genes, even if it looks like garbage blood, who knows if there's some interesting evolutionary potential? So we try to keep the seeds of every human being, carefully preserve them, and artificially fertilize them as new members of the spiritual world when we encounter a tremendous wealth of resources.

“In this way, the resilience of human civilization to survive will be greatly enhanced - in times of harsh environments and scarcity of resources, we can close the vast majority of the spiritual world, reduce computational power and resource consumption by more than 90 per cent, leaving behind only a huge ‘human seed bank’ and some of the elite to continue fighting in the real world.

“When we discover a new world full of spirituality, or master new ways of using energy, and enter an era of abundance of resources, we can quickly begin a new round of screening and evolution by incubating hundreds of spiritual worlds, all of us in the 'seed bank'.

“Think about whether such a human civilization, its ability to confront crises, has become stronger? ”

A moment of dark silence: "But these newly hatched children, without fathers and mothers, whose parents were" shut down "by you during the last period of resource depletion! ”

“Small problem, good to solve. ”

Lu Qingdu laughed, “Both then generations can be virtual, parents can of course be virtual, we will keep their parents' databases and modes of action, optimize the algorithm slightly, become a better breeder, ensure a new generation of human beings, in general, progress towards positive progress, optimism, perseverance, accelerate the evolution of the entire civilization! ”

This solution once again stunned the night for half a day, continuing to ask: "How can the real world resource problem be solved? While the original people are low, stupid, greedy and lazy, under the careful regulation of the empire, they can still do most of the heavy work, and construction, mining, grazing and even front-line fighting require a lot of original people's fill.

“If human civilization is a big ship sailing in the stars and waves and courage, the fairy repairer is the captain, servant and sailor of the ship, the original is the raw material burned by the bear in the power compartment, and the captain and sailor, while important, cannot do without fuel.

“But in your ‘end of America', you banished all the original people into the virtual world, so who's going to do the basic work in the real world? Let the finely chosen elites dig mines and serve as cannon dust? ”

“With fully automated machinery. ”

"What I call ‘machinery' is not only metals and crystal products such as spiritual energy puppets, mining spiders, and Taiwanese warriors, but also highly controllable demonic beasts, as well as biochemical human beings transformed after activating various flood cells and reinforcing genes based on the flesh and blood of humans.

“Whether they are spiritual puppets or biochemical people, they are stronger, smarter, more loyal, always diligent, relentless, and there will never be a bit of negative laziness and awe.

“Most importantly, there is no ethical and moral judgment involved here, and no matter how they are squeezed and ravaged, there is no half ‘evil’, because even if they are similar in appearance to humans, they do not contain real souls in their brains, just artificial intelligence - what we call 'ghosts’ - just artificial intelligence that serves those inferior bloodlines in the virtual world. ”

“It's impossible! ”

Night came out of nowhere, “Artificial intelligence is unlikely to reach this level, it's just an aid and it's too expensive, which is why we have to use so many damn original people! ”

“That is only the view of the Empire, because you have taken a detour from the beginning. ”

Lu Qingdust said, "Exactly because you look down on ordinary people from the beginning and treat those who make up more than 99% of the total population as‘ original people ', you seem to have endless cheap human resources that can be squeezed at will, and naturally you will not go to great lengths to develop technology in the field of artificial intelligence and mechanical automation.

“This is a vicious circle, and the less you focus on the development of artificial intelligence and automation technologies, the higher the cost of using psychic puppets and biochemists, the more you are forced to brutally squeeze the 'original'.

“The more people invest in artificial intelligence and automated technologies, the more they invest in how to squeeze the original people and form a whole set of social customs, business models, laws and institutions.

“The backlog of thousands of years cannot be changed by the power within the Empire alone. Too many fighters are your limits, and you do not have the need to develop higher artificial intelligence.

“But unlike the Starlight Federation, we don't have as many original people here to oppress and possess the same crystal brain technology as the Empire, so from the beginning, we went on the path of artificial intelligence and automation.

“According to our reasoning, as long as the resources of the whole civilization are integrated into research in this field, no matter whether mining or fighting, grazing or building, altering the planet or maintaining the navigation lanes, the vast majority of them have standard operating procedures, highly repetitive basic work, which can be accomplished by spiritual puppets and biochemists, very few can be accomplished, or can be done remotely by mindfulness! ”

The night watched as the black jellyfish swallowed his chest and throat and slowly climbed up to his head, whispering voluntarily: "What a world it is! ”

“A perfect world! ”

Lu Qingdu's voice is increasingly motivated, “The vast majority of mediocre, ordinary, cowardly and lazy people can live and dream in a virtual world, enjoy life, think of life as a game that opens up ‘novice mode' and 'goldfinger’, no one will ravage and squeeze them, how can they not think about progress or even do anything!

“Uplifted, powerful minds, believing in free will and eager to be ‘truly alive', in a cruel ‘test battlefield', practicing wildly, constantly uplifting, proving themselves, eventually they will be granted one or more of the most powerful bodies as‘ shells’ upon which they descend into the real world!

“The elite of these human civilizations, the 'truly living', will be engaged in all kinds of cutting-edge research, the most creative artistic work, the most arduous battles, the most mysterious voyages!

“At the same time, a large number of biochemical, controllable demonic beasts and spiritual energy puppets scattered throughout every corner of the vast boundaries of human civilization, completing heavy and dangerous basic work, as the handsome said, providing sufficient ‘fuel’ for the great strides of human civilization! ”

“See, in a world like this, where the efficient use of the resources of a practitioner is perfectly combined with the humanism of a practitioner, this is the future! ”

The night gasped heavily for the final struggle: "Me, I still don't believe! I don't believe in perpetual motives, and I don't believe in this so-called future. It would be so perfect!

“Don't think I don't know that virtual worlds have the same cost, creating a virtual world, maintaining a huge database, requiring countless supermassive crystal brains that refine, maintain and upgrade without consuming resources?

“It's incredibly big to create a virtual world where the vast majority of humans can fit in, as you say! Whatever the technique, say how much it costs to run every second, that's astronomical numbers!

“Drained astronomical digital resources just to get a bunch of junk drunk and dead? That's not a good thing! ”

As soon as this was said, it was a moment of silence in the deep sea that the laughter of Lu Light Dust came again.

“It makes sense, perhaps I should apologize to them for the arbitrariness that I have just given them. Fundamentally, there is no waste or garbage, and even a despicable human being has an immensely powerful soul - that is, his emotions.

“Humanity's Seven Loves and Sixes have been suppressed for far too long, and we have gradually lost their power, but as long as the deep seal of the divine soul is completely broken, everyone can eject the most abundant energy!

“Not only can these energies support the functioning of their brains and reproductive systems, but they can also be continuously fed into the crystal brain and the spiritual web, sustaining the operation and upgrading of vast systems, and even surplus, to be absorbed by the elites of the real world, making them stronger! ”

The night stared into his eyes: "The power of emotion? Breaking the seal of love? Also, you just mentioned Blood God... I finally understand, where are you a fairy fixer, you are an extraterritorial celestial demon who feeds on human emotions, the Black Wind Fleet and the Starlight Federation, all of you have been mistaken! ”
