Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 3256: The Golden Age
“Farm? ”
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu understood the meaning of the red pole star at the same time, their foreheads seeping out sweat beads, their faces pale, pointing to their nostrils, “So, we are all 'rice’ and ‘fruit trees' on the farm, our emotions and imagination, is the 'fruit’ that the will of the earth needs? ”
“I guess so. Otherwise, what would Earth's will do with us back in jail after countless rounds? ”
The Red Pole star points to its own temple tunnel, "its purpose is to stimulate our soul to a certain degree, so that we can constantly produce emotions and imaginations that it will never secrete.
“Those seemingly bizarre, even absurd legends, those that will be rejected as nonsense and admonition for theft, those fantasy worlds that are empty, those that aspire to the greatest audacity and ignorance at the end of the star sea - these are what make up the solid core of a great civilization, and the will of the earth itself does not have such a core, if it ever had warm blood, it would certainly have cooled and condensed hundreds of millions of years ago, even if it had dreams, it would certainly have become a debris of speckle rejection, completely extinct!
“Even at the level of the Great Universe, it is truly a super monster with great computational power and immense military power, an invincible super monster, a powerful and transcendent being of divine rank, capable of perfectly controlling everything in the Great Universe, able to calculate perfect answers to all questions - but at the level of ‘life’ and ‘civilization', the so-called 'perfection' simply does not exist, the full moon loses, after the peak is the abyss, and the end of 'perfection' is destruction.
“In a word, the will of the earth has no emotions and dreams, it does not even have the 'ability to make mistakes', and the ability to make mistakes is a vital factor in the evolution of life. Only if we make constant mistakes, make constant mistakes, make repeated mistakes, and make those mythical, ridiculous mistakes will we have the opportunity to survive and develop in a rapidly changing universe, or even explode endless possibilities.
“A civilization that has no imagination or will not make mistakes will not discover the slightest possibility, not even find the meaning of its existence, is doomed to crash into its limits soon after climbing to its peak, and it will never be able to break its limits, so it will have to resort to external forces - a race with feelings, dreams and imagination - that will constantly make mistakes in search of infinite possibilities, and that is us.
“We humans, we do not brag so well or even deserve the name 'The Spirit of All Things', we are a very bad carbon-based intelligent life - we have lots of colorful emotions, but we are often impulsed by emotions, trapped in the dark mud of humanity, to hurt ourselves; we have a constantly pioneering ambition, but this ambition often becomes ambitious, and we lose everything in vagueness because of ambitions that we cannot support at all; we are naive and romantic and rich in dreams, but this in turn makes us often frustrated by our own dissatisfaction, we are tired of filling in, no matter how many things we get, for up to three or five seconds, and eager to find something ten times more to fill in the void of our hearts.
“But it is these flaws that shape us and give us the most powerful power in the stars and oceans. When our ancestors first looked up at the sky a long time ago and exclaimed, our race was destined to embark on a path of thorn cutting, wind breaking waves, scolding winds and clouds, and only then can we qualify as the 'heart’, ‘brain’ or ‘engine’ of the Earth's will! ”
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu shook up again, and the eyes of Red Pole Star became extraordinarily different.
“So the whole time back in jail was the ‘engine’ of the Earth's will? ”
Zhang Daniu mumbled.
“Yes, I prefer the word ’engine' to ‘brain’ or ‘farm’. ”
Red Pole, “because the 'engine hypothesis' explains very well why the Earth's will is not willing to do anything about it and force it to reboot instantly - because doing so will not only cause serious damage to the 'engine' itself, but will also disrupt the coherence of the power output and affect its combat power on the great cosmic battlefield. ”
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu thought about it slightly, and they all felt that the words made sense.
Imagine the Earth's will as a chariot engaged in intense fire with its enemies, whose engines are naturally not ready to be restarted at random. If the engines are damaged for three or five minutes, enough Earth's will will will will be shot into a horse's nest by the enemy.
“Your guess makes sense, but I still don't get it. ”
Zhang Daniu frowned, “Even if going back to prison is really an infinitely circular farm, an engine that will always spin at high speeds, why is it now, between the 1970s and 1980s and the 340s of the 21st century? ”
“Because this is the golden age of Earth's civilization, humankind has reached the peak of carbon-based intelligent life on a monomeric planet over the decades. ”
Red Pole, “I guess, of course, the Earth's will can set the backdrop for the return to prison in the Middle Ages and even in the Stone Age, but it will not be possible to harvest enough emotion and imagination - from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages and even until the modern era, when the industrial revolution has just sprung up, are unwise, in a dark and nightmarish era, where people living in that kind of foolish and clogged environment, hungry, insecure, devoting the vast majority of their energies to the competition for survival, and only a small number of people can possess‘ luxury goods' such as emotion and imagination, while the backwardness of information transmission, in turn, makes their emotions and imagination impossible to form a massive ‘resonance' with others.
“How can a poet who lived in the Middle Ages, even if he wrote immortal verses about the stars and the universe, perhaps thirty or even a hundred or two years later, be transmitted to the ears of another poet other than 18,000 miles, and most other than these aristocratic poets simply do not understand their one-in-10,000 subtlety - a message that is so inefficient that it inspires emotion and imagination that it meets the needs of the Earth's will?
“And our times, or the times that the Earth will craft for us, are completely different.
“Steam revolution, electrical revolution, information revolution!
“World War I, World War II, Cold War!
“Turing machines, computers, networks, mobile phones, wireless networks, all kinds of information terminals!
“Education for all, the entertainment of the whole nation nourished on a sufficiently solid material basis, millions of people simultaneously online games, millions of words of online novels, ultra fast interactions between authors and readers at all times!
“Space technology, cloning technology, nanotechnology, information explosion, technology explosion, everyone can share their dreams and emotions with others anytime, anywhere, via mobile terminals, forming a massive resonance like mass mycosis!
“Don't you think this is the best time if the Earth's will really wants to harvest our emotions and dreams? ”
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were stunned for a long time.
Zhang Daniu scratched his hair: “So, you're saying that all the information terminals we use, including the social environment in which we live, everything, was deliberately created by the Earth's will to harvest us? ”
“Not necessarily deliberately created - this is too real to be completely counterfeit, and I suspect that a long time ago there was indeed a 'Earth of Origin', and that every round we went through was modelled on the history of what really happened to the 'Earth of Origin'. ”
Red Pole, “But this time period must have been carefully chosen by the Earth's will, only in such a golden age, would it be most convenient for it to 'cultivate' the strongest emotions and richest imagination for the most efficient ‘harvest’.
“If that is the case, then there is another explanation for the annihilation of the observer by the Apocalypse - perhaps more than just the fear of the observer awakening more spirituality, it is also part of the harvest, after all, that the observer is often the one with the strongest emotion and imagination, harvesting an observer, more useful than harvesting a hundred ordinary people. ”
“That is to say...”
Zhang Daniu thought of the possibility of a chilling chestnut, “The creation of the observer, the awakening of the awakener, even the rebellion of the jailbreaker, everything is in the plan of the will of the earth? ”
“It is possible, after all, that the awakener will unleash endless ripples of emotion, will and determination as he discovers the truth and evolves into a rebellion by the prison breakers, and perhaps this is what the will of the earth needs? ”
Red Pole smiled slightly, "But I've always believed that there's no such thing as perfect control over everything. Perhaps the Earth's will in a time of plenty can manipulate six billion spirits at will, but today is a different day, this time, we're different! ”
“I see. ”
Zhang Daniu thought, "Then why did the Earth's will set the end time for the return to prison in the 21st century and the 340s? The more powerful the Big Bang, the more dreams people have, the more emotion and imagination it can harvest? ”
“No, that would be too much. ”
Red Pole, “The so-called ‘harvest emotion and imagination' is a double-edged sword that will surely awaken and resist as the English spirits continue to output the most intense ripples of the divine soul. The will of the earth must keep the resistance of the awakener within a reasonable limit, and must not exceed the critical point, which will lead to a complete loss of control.
“Or the ‘engine’, for example, the Earth's will wants to keep the engine's output power within reasonable limits, which is certainly not good, but the long output is too violent, causing the engine to overload or even explode, which is even worse, right? ”
