Remember [New] for a second,! Not giving up is one of the most important scientific research spirits of Shilian people.

Shilian people have a long lifespan. Compared with humans, it can even be said to be close to immortality. Therefore, they have enough time and experience to invest in research, even if this research is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the future is uncertain. what.

Research itself will not change, it will only be further developed based on breakthroughs in research.

But other external circumstances will change.

Shilian people do not lack "popular" scholars and researchers, nor do they lack jaw-dropping research projects. In this civilization, everyone is a "genius", and they have been trained from birth. Programming, a large amount of information knowledge has been injected into their "soul depth" from the so-called childhood, they can grow up to be leaders in a certain field, and then appear in the position where they should be according to the social division of labor.

Therefore, there are many talented geniuses among Shilian people. Shilian people who are not "genius" do not mean that they are not smart enough, just because they do not appear in relevant research positions.

And because of this, the wave that the research of Jingtu and Yu had set off among the Shilian people has quickly extinguished in the past hundred years. They have not given up, but the outside world has almost stopped paying attention to their experiments. Of course, this also There is nothing, whether it is Yu or crystal clusters, their purpose is not to make a name for themselves through this research, Shilian people do not need this kind of honor, they just want to obtain technological progress, and then get the overall reputation of Shilian people. progress.

Achieving achievements is the most important direction in the life of a technical ten-connected person like them.

Therefore, their experiments have not been interrupted. Although the resources allocated to them by the Central Scientific Research Center of Shilianren have been reduced due to the failure of their experiments, they do not need so many resources, and the research on consciousness does not require much External devices, all they need is life and consciousness.

Yu and Jingtu plunged into the research. In the beginning, the failure seemed to give everyone another form of motivation, but instead aroused the competitiveness of the Shilian people of the project team. Not only Yu and Jingtu, but also the Shilian people in other project teams did their best. , hoping to make a breakthrough. To this end, they tried a variety of animals and plants from the depths of the starry sky, trying to find a breakthrough in the ideological field from them.

However, they all failed.

Since then, failure has become synonymous, and every time their research on the terminal project seems to be very close to the dreamy and aspirational state of consciousness, but they have never really touched it. They are related to consciousness. Between the state of the world, it seems that there is always a layer of yarn separated.

This is a very terrifying state. Even the crystal clusters are sometimes uneasy, because they have been studying consciousness for hundreds of years, but they have been stopping. It can even be said that they have always been standing still, Grinding on the experience that the predecessors have accumulated, even now, they don't know what ideology is, let alone make breakthrough progress.

And just when the experiment was stagnant for nearly 250 years, a subversive event occurred in Yu's project team.

The deputy leader of the project team, Yu's partner, a Shilian person who has also been studying the ideology project for many years, came to a conclusion through summarization and research.

This inference points out a fact that will directly negate the entire project research plan. The barriers to ideology research are unbreakable. They attempt to study ideology on the basis of non-advanced dark energy creatures, which is equivalent to a paradoxical condition. Starting research is destined to be impossible to achieve any results and progress. The project must be stopped and terminated because it is meaningless.

Shilian people are not short of time and resources, a key experimental project, they can spend thousands of years of time and conquer, but there is a premise that this project is meaningful.

And if a study is a paradox, it almost condemns the study to its doom.

Because it is destined to have no results.

If there is no result, even Shilian people will not choose to continue their research.

What's more, this is the conclusion drawn by the deputy team leader of the project team. This conclusion is equivalent to a sentence of death for the entire project. Gu Li

Consciousness cannot be studied without advanced dark energy creatures, and advanced dark energy creatures are required to study consciousness.

Shilian people have everything, that is, there are no advanced dark energy creatures.

No matter how hard Yu and Jingtu worked, it was no longer meaningful. Their project team was suspended and disbanded overnight, and the entire ideological research project disappeared without a sound.

This is in complete contrast to their vigorously beginning to study ideology before.

The cluster was a little frustrated by this.

The study of ideology always gives the impression that they only need to move forward a little bit before they can successfully break through that barrier and successfully get the final result they want, but they always end without success. be successful.

This is probably because everyone is conscious, so this illusion can arise, because studying it is like studying and searching for yourself.

In general, the crystal cluster can still understand this result, because its rationality clearly tells it that the paradox claimed by the deputy team leader of its project team is real, and their research is really very important. It may never be broken.

During the project, Yu even came to a similar conclusion. If they can find an advanced dark energy creature to conduct experiments and research, then the situation may be much better, and it may even make progress.

At that time, the crystal cluster asked how advanced the advanced dark energy creature was?

Yu's answer is that at least the ninth caste The ninth caste cannot pose a threat to Shilian people, but the ninth caste is also a rare existence in the starry sky. It is not that easy to find a ninth caste. It is not easy to live in Him, control Him, and bring it back to study, and the most important thing is that this violates the internal regulations of Shilian.

The experiment was interrupted by this.

For a long time to come, the crystal cluster stayed in his "home", waiting for the arrangement of the next round of "work".

In the process, Jingtu found that he began to think wildly, it became less like a real Shilian person, his thinking always diverged and jumped, and even began to like to look at some of its work and life trajectory qualitative irrelevant information.

It realizes that this is likely to be a change to the conscious experiment as well.

Just when the crystal cluster was anxious and was about to go to a doctor to examine itself, its mentor, Yu, suddenly came to the door.
