Yang, the elder of the foreign ministry, sighed and said: "the topic of six level civilization is too complicated for us to discuss now. Let's change the topic. If we know the ultimate problem of the universe and its answer, but die instantly after knowing it, would you like to? "

Zhang Yuan did not hesitate to say: "there will be some people who are willing to, and the proportion may be quite a lot I'll do it anyway! "

"I would, too."

"Yes!"

People have given their own files.

After a moment's silence, Li Zhendong suddenly said with a smile: "the ultimate problem I'm sure I will

The old friends at the party actually gave the same answer. Lao Yang couldn't react for a while. He didn't expect that these people's ideas were so consistent, and they all gave him a strange smile.

After a few seconds, seeing Lao Yang's incredulity, Zhang Yuan explained: "Lao Yang, the temptation of the ultimate problem of the universe is too great. It covers the meaning of existence and everything. If you know the answer, you will know everything, even when you will die. "

"I think it's no big deal to die Anyway, I would like to. "

"The value of the ultimate problem of the universe is too high. In my opinion, it is far higher than the cost of personal life. We should narrow the scope a little bit, such as the solution of the black box problem, the real mystery of quantum consciousness, the breakthrough of prediction mathematics. In the face of these slightly smaller problems, if I die instantly after I know the answer, this cost I may hesitate for a while

Many scientists here nodded and agreed with Zhang Yuan.

In front of acquiring more knowledge and personal life, there is a balance.

The value of human life is limited. Enough knowledge can indeed leverage life. This is the general idea of all the scientists here.

"This should be a difference in values. For some civilizations, enough money can pry life, but for us, enough knowledge can pry life."

"If we compare the advantages with the good and the bad, I think the latter may be better, because advocating knowledge can promote the progress of civilization."

Even Li Zhendong, who is usually glib, is seriously thinking about this question: how much is his life worth?

In real life, does the so-called Tao, the ultimate truth of the universe, exist?

No one knows.

Zhang Yuan sighed: "how to choose between happiness and ideal in life? Fish or bear's paw, which is more important? I'm afraid there will never be a real answer to this question. The answer may vary from person to person. What we expect is that anyone who makes any choice can gain the respect and understanding of others. "

"The greatest success in life is to live your life in your own way. Now these lenino people have made their own choice, because of various reasons did not join the league, then respect their choice. We are not interested in interfering with the choice of civilization of the fallen. "

Lao Yang spread out his hand: "well, well, they succeeded in persuading me. I finally know the difference between the degenerate civilization and us. This gap is an irreparable change brought about by history. Although it is not a real qualitative change, it is also a great change. "

"It seems that we have been on this road for a long time."

After a sip of coffee, he suddenly thought of something: "by the way, there's something quite interesting to tell you. Our scientific research team found several suspected intelligent species on the red Kam star, the companion star of lenino It could even be a beehive intelligence species! "

"Oh?"

Zhang Yuan's expression suddenly moved, and he was a little interested, "intelligent worm?"

There are too many insect species in hongkanxing. It is conservatively estimated that there are 100 million species. Even if the lenino people provided some of the biological specimens they collected to human beings, it is only a drop in the bucket.

There are also a large number of species, hidden in the forest, soil, waiting for people to find.

The detection ability of new humans is not comparable to that of the lenino civilization. Under the vigorous investigation of various detection robots, some very strange species suspected of intelligent life have been found.

"Hey, I know they are very interested. This is the first-hand information just sent. It's not confidential anyway. "

Lao Yang has sent out several photos from his personal terminal to show you.

"The first species, let's call it the alien bee for a moment, lives in the forest, has wings, can fly, and the average mass of the individual is about one kilogram, which is slightly larger than the fist!"

"Their survival mode is a bit similar to that of bees on earth. They suck plant juices and process some foods into shellac with a longer shelf life. They have a certain social division mode."

The robot has found insect nests, in which shellac is a very luxurious health care product for lenino people, and it is said that it can increase their life span. This kind of bee like species, hiding deep in the forest, is not easy to find, and the production of shellac is also very low."Can it really increase life?"

"False, of course The so-called shellac, is some carbohydrates, as well as some protein

"The second species, temporarily called alien ants, lives in the soil and digs holes. The average mass of the individual is 2.2kg, which can be regarded as a relatively large insect The whole nest is a bit like the division of labor of ants on earth. Some individuals can absorb humus in the soil, and then process nutrients such as cream to supply the whole population. "

Zhang Yuan stared at the photos for a long time. Naturally, the appearance of these ferocious insects was not very cute. He could not see that these guys had wisdom.

He asked suspiciously, "there are so many colony creatures like ants and bees that can be found on almost every living planet. What do you think they have a certain degree of intelligence? "

Lao Yang said with a smile: "first listen to me, those groups that are similar to bees are very aggressive. As we all know, the noble children of the lenino civilization often go to this planet to fight insects in pursuit of excitement, and some program groups also hold games to fight insects The hatred between the two sides may have lasted for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years. "

Zhang Yuan nodded.

He knows about it.

"This bee species, after being attacked by the lenino people, has a very strong sense of revenge and will immediately retaliate. They have very hard, poisonous tail needles, and they are either dead or injured when they are stung

"But in front of steel and bullets, the attack of insects is always powerless, so this species used to be the main target of attack with lenino people."

"After the massacre, the alien bee hid mysteriously It can't be said that it disappeared, but deliberately avoided the pursuit of the lenino people. When they saw the lenino people, they ran away. Isn't it strange? Generally speaking, the formation of the concept of natural enemies takes a long time to cultivate, but this alien bee is changing very quickly, which shows that they are very smart... "

"They are even the main force that incites the occurrence of insect tide in the forest!"
