Plague Doctor

Chapter 458: Reason, Emotion [Request a Moon Ticket, Request a Subscription]

Weird sound, bloody sight.

Suddenly poured into Wang Ruoxiang's mind, while turning into the consciousness of 49,999 other winners around the world, causing a fierce wave.

The entire concentrator squad is suffering from this shock, as is Grandpa Tong and others at the command centre.

They see how locust diseases extinct civilizations, human life civilizations, and all kinds of alien civilizations that have exhausted their abilities but are still unable to resist the swallowing of alien locusts, turning them into ruins and vanishing into nothingness...

It also sees how the Isis transcend time, take the locust disease gene and bury it, and then hide back into a distant future.

Fifty thousand of those selected were carefully chosen by Iss, so while the shock was enough to trap a mentally fragile person into delirium, or even madness forever, these people can afford it now, but some are grieving and others are rethinking.

And some scientists are excited, and some of the flashing shadows of knowledge are the volunteers they've been pursuing all their lives.

The invitation to join from the Israelite race has come to light in their minds.

This is not an acceptable invitation.

Family, lovers, friends… are not on the invitation list.

Drop everything in time and space, go to the future, go to Iss.

“Dr. Wang, we really appreciate you.” Teacher Fan said calmly, "You have a high level of intelligence in humans, you have good learning, observation and logical thinking skills, and this time you were the first to extrapolate the pathology of locust disease, and Iss welcomes you. ”

Wang Ruoxiang is already in the corridor outside the quarantine ward, but can still hear Mr. Fan clearly.

Leaving this place to ruin and hide in the future?

“Is that how you chose Iss in this situation?” Wang Ruoxiang muttered.

“Yes, we obey reason. ”

“Are you saying that abandoning your home is rational? ”

“You humans have thought a lot about home, nation, relationship, country, and Benedict Anderson's 'imaginary community’ is a good concept. It is reason to imagine communities, communities of interests, to establish them, to participate in them and to preserve them when they are needed; it is indeed reason to leave them behind when they are not needed - when they cannot bring benefits. ”

“Are you saying... leaving parents, children, the closest people behind is reason? ”

“Depends on the circumstances. We know this is very difficult to accept for human feelings, but this is not a question of choice, not because your flight has led to their disappearance, but because you have a chance to survive and continue to reproduce. Then seize this opportunity yourself, and survive, is reason. ”

“Doesn't that make you selfish? ”

“The nature of genes is selfish, and you've studied that. ”

“Can you also abandon the ‘Islam race' when necessary? ”

“Of course, we look at the situation, and the body can be transformed, and the form of consciousness can be transformed. Because the name is unimportant, the form is unimportant, the emotions are unimportant, the imaginary community of 'home’ is unimportant… How unimportant is the result important. ”

“So what do you want? What are you after? ”

“As I said before, Iss is climbing the summit of wisdom, and we climb with reason and science. ”

“So... you don't believe in any feelings? ”

“In a broad sense, reason is also an emotion, and our love of reason and science, our obsession with wisdom, is an emotion. In the narrow sense, emotions are often imaginations influenced by physiological secretion and personal life. They are impulsive, transient, fragile, blind, ignorant, obsessive. Emotions affect reason, but reason can conquer emotions. ”

“Reason can conquer feelings. Is that your purpose? ”

“If it's easy for you to understand, you can understand it that way. We are observers, recorders, thinkers, we seek the essence. ”

“I wonder if you've heard of this biological view of human civilization...”

Wang Ruoxiang is still mumbling, in fact, the conversation in his mind:

“To preserve diversity, the same organism must preserve genetic diversity. For a population, even disease genes do not make a good or bad difference, and some disease genes can play an extraordinary role in an environment that helps the population to reproduce. So diversity is important, whether it's body or mind..."

She frowned and looked through a clear glass window at Fan Teacher sitting on the hospital bed.

“I think you lack diversity.

You obviously deserve the richest diversity, because you are made up of different civilizations, but every time you use the same body, and consciousness is all superstitious to reason, that only leads you to one way of thinking. It is impossible for you to climb to the summit of wisdom.

In my view, there are things that cannot be seen with reason. ”

“Dr. Wang, you're talking about feelings.” Teacher Fan added, “We also want to discuss it slowly with you, but there are only 10 minutes left, please make a decision as soon as possible, please make a sensible decision. Don't let emotions bind your brains. ”

At this moment, the winners all feel connected to Iss.

This conversation between Wang Ruoxiang and Iss flashed in their minds.

Home… imaginary community… relatives… living on their own… emotions, brains bound…

The sea is in shock and the great ships of human civilization are about to collapse.

On the front of the wasteland, Lu Xianning stared at his left eye and said, “What reason and emotion? Go talk to Sheba's people! Tell them not to be so stupid, maybe they'll live to this day. Others I don't know, I will answer you now, I won't leave, I won't be a pussy. ”

“This is my home now.” Deng Ximai said he finally had a home, "and I'm not leaving, and I can't afford it. ”

“Life has never died since ancient times, leaving Dan's heart to shine.” Cai Zixuan exclaimed, "He was chosen too," I'm not leaving. ”I also can't give up, I can't give up, how can I, the laughter of my family, my mother's cooking, my girlfriend Jiang Hanxia, and everyone else...

Listen to this, Mr. Fan seems to have a slight frown, “You guys are just looking for annihilation. ”

“I don't want to be a creature like Iss.” Wang Ruoxiang has also made a decision, "I think it is another death, only to live in formalin. ”

There are also Uncle Egg, Feng Wei, Ink Qing, Peacock and others, as well as Grandpa Tong, Yao Shinian and others.

Some of them will go, but not them. They're just dead fights.

“We humans, unlike Iss. ”
