As a senior immortal cultivator, Hei Yeming once thought that he had seen the most cruel and evil things in the universe. His heart of Tao has long been tempered to be extremely cruel and would not have any kindness towards inferior races like "original people".

But when he heard Lu Qingchen's arrangement for the original people, the old cultivator could not help but tremble slightly: "Is there nothing real to these... people?"

"This is their own choice."

Lu Qingchen said, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws. When you choose a more relaxed and easier life, you will have to pay some small price."

“Since they will never find that the world they are in is virtual, what’s the difference between true and false?

"If they have the ability to discover the falseness and weirdness of the world and pass many tests to prove that they are qualified to live in the real world, then they will naturally have real partners, real descendants, and real lives.

"This is a free choice, this is a fair deal, this is a question of whether you choose fish or bear's paw. Don't be so greedy, Mingshuai.

"Of course, it is indeed a very cruel way to cut off a person's blood, not to mention that the mystery of genes is endless. Even if the blood seems to be garbage, who knows whether there is some interesting evolutionary possibility? So we will try our best to leave every human seed and carefully preserve it. When we encounter huge resources, we will artificially breed these seeds as new members of the spiritual world.

"In this way, the survival flexibility of human civilization will be greatly improved in the era of harsh environments and scarce resources. We can close most of the spiritual world, reduce computing power and resource consumption by more than 90%, leaving only a huge "human seed bank" and a part of the elites to continue fighting in the real world.

"When we discover a new world full of psionic energy, or master new energy utilization methods and enter a resource-rich era, we can quickly expand hundreds of spiritual worlds, incubate all the people in the "seed bank" and start a new round of screening and evolution.

"Think about it, has such a human civilization become stronger in its ability to fight crises?"

Hei Yeming pondered for a moment: "But, these newly hatched children, without their fathers and mothers, were all "closed" by you in the last resource exhaustion period!"

"Small problems are easy to solve."

Lu Qingchen smiled, "Since the generation can be virtual, and of course the parents can be virtual. We will retain their parents' database and action mode, slightly optimize the algorithm, and become more perfect nurturing, ensuring that the new generation of human beings will develop in a direction of positive progress, optimism and perseverance, and accelerate the evolution of the entire civilization!"

This solution once again stunned Hayeming for a long time and continued to ask: "How to solve the resource problem in the real world? Although the original man is lowly, stupid, greedy and lazy, under the careful modulation of the empire, he can still engage in most heavy work, construction, mining, grazing and even the front-line battles, all require a lot of original man filling.

"If human civilization is a big ship sailing in the sea of ​​stars, riding the wind and waves, and moving forward bravely, the immortal cultivator is the captain, helmsman and sailor of this ship, and the original man is the raw material for burning in the power cabin. Although the captain and sailor are important, they cannot do without fuel.

"But, in your 'Complete American Degree', you exiled all the original people to the virtual world. So who should complete the basic work in the real world? Could it be that if the carefully selected elites go to mining and act as cannon fodder?"

"Use fully automated machinery."

Lu Qingchen said, "What I mean by 'mechanics' is not just psychic puppets, mining spiders, Taixu warriors and other metals and crystal products, but also various highly controllable monsters, as well as biochemical humans that are transformed based on human flesh and blood, activate various prehistoric cells and strengthen genes.

"Whether puppets or biochemical people, they are stronger, smarter, more loyal, always diligent and hardworking, and there will never be any passive slackness or fear of progress.

"The most important thing is that there is no question of ethical and moral judgment here. No matter how you squeeze and ravage them, there is no point in being 'evil', because even if the appearance is similar to that of humans, what is hidden in their brains is not the real soul, but just artificial intelligence we call 'different spirits', just like artificial intelligence serving those inferior bloodlines in the virtual world."

"This is impossible!"

Hei Yeming blurted out, "Artificial intelligence cannot be developed to this level. It is just an auxiliary, and the cost is too high, so we have to use so many damn original people!"

"That's just the empire's view, because you took a detour from the beginning."

Lu Qingchen said, "Precisely because you looked down on ordinary people from the beginning and regard more than 99% of the total population as ‘original people’, you seem to have endless cheap human resources that can be squeezed freely, so you will naturally not vigorously develop technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence and mechanical automation.

"This is a vicious cycle. The less you pay attention to the development of artificial intelligence and automation technology, the higher the cost of using psionic puppets and biochemical people, the more you force you to cruelly exploit the "original people".

"After investing a lot of resources in how to exploit people and form a complete set of social customs, business models, laws and systems, no one has studied artificial intelligence and automation technologies.

"Thousands of years of hard work to return, and relying solely on the power of the empire, it can no longer be changed. Taixu warriors are your limits, and you do not have the need to develop more advanced artificial intelligence.

"But the Starry Federation is different. We don't have so many original people to oppress and have crystal brain technology that is comparable to the empire. So from the beginning, we took the path of artificial intelligence and automation.

"According to our deduction, as long as all the resources of the civilization are invested in research in this field, at most one thousand years will be spent, whether mining or fighting, grazing or building, whether transforming the planet or maintaining the waterway, most of them have standard operating procedures and high repetitive basic work can be completed by psychic puppets and biochemical people. A very few things that cannot be completed can also be done through remote control of divine thoughts!"

Hei Yeming watched the black jellyfish swallow his chest and throat, slowly crawled up to his head, and couldn't help but murmur: "What kind of world is that!"

“A perfect world!”

Lu Qingchen's voice is becoming more and more inciting, "Most of the mediocre, ordinary, cowardly and lazy people can live a life of drunkenness and dream in the virtual world, enjoy life as a game that has started the "novice mode" and "golden finger". No one will ravage and squeeze them. No matter how they don't want to make progress or even do whatever they want!

"People who have ambition, a strong mind, believe in free will, and desire to "really live" will practice crazyly on a cruel "test battlefield" everywhere, constantly improve, and prove themselves. In the end, they will be granted one or several of the most powerful bodies as the "shell" for their arrival in the real world!

"These elites of human civilization, the 'really alive people', will engage in various cutting-edge research, the most creative artistic work, the most arduous battles, and the most mysterious voyage!

"At the same time, a large number of biochemical people, controllable monsters and psionic puppets are scattered in every corner of the vast territory of human civilization, completing heavy and dangerous basic work, just as Ming Shuai said, providing enough 'fuel' for the big stride of human civilization!"

"Look, in such a world, the efficient utilization of resources of immortals and the humanitarianism of immortals is perfectly combined. This is the future!"

Hei Yeming breathed heavily and made his final struggle: "I, I still don't believe it! I don't believe in the existence of the perpetual motion machine, nor do I believe that this so-called future will be so perfect!

"Don't think I don't know that the virtual world also has costs. To create a virtual world and maintain a huge database, it requires countless super-large crystal brains. Doesn't it take to consume resources to refine, maintain and upgrade these crystal brains?

"As you said, to create a virtual world that is so big that it can contain most humans into, the scale of the crystal brain is so big that it is unimaginable! Regardless of how it is implemented technically, the operating cost per second is astronomical!

"It consumed astronomical resources just to make a group of waste live and die in a drunken and dream? How could such a good thing be done!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the deep sea before Lu Qingchen's laughter came again.

"Ming Shuai's words are reasonable. Maybe I should apologize to them for my arbitrary arbitrary just now. Basically, there is no waste or garbage. Even the despicable human beings are incredibly powerful in their souls, and that is his emotions.

"Human emotions and six desires have been suppressed for too long, and we have gradually lost its power, but as long as we completely break the seal deep in our souls, everyone can gush out the most abundant energy!

"This energy can not only support the operation of their brains and reproductive systems, but can also be continuously supplied to the crystal brain and spiritual network to maintain the operation and upgrading of the entire huge system. There is even extra, which can be absorbed by the elites in the real world, making them stronger!"
