Chapter 3246 Golden Age
"farm?"
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu understood the meaning of the Red Pole Star at the same time. Sweat beads oozing from their foreheads, their faces turned pale, and they pointed to the tip of their noses and said, "So, we are all the 'rice' and 'fruit trees' in the farm. Our emotions and imagination are the 'fruits' needed by the will of the earth?"
"I guess this is the case, otherwise the will of the earth would lock us in this damn prison of reincarnation. What would the earth that has experienced countless reincarnation do?"
The red pole star pointed to his temple, "The purpose is to exert a certain degree of stimulation on our souls, allowing us to continuously produce emotions and imaginations that it will never secrete.
"Those seemingly strange, bizarre and even absurd legends, those works that will be denounced as nonsense and lewd, those fantasy worlds, those most courageous and ignorant yearning for the end of the starry sea - it is these that form the solid core of a great civilization, and the will of the earth itself does not have such a core. If it had ever been passionate, it would have cooled and condensed billions of years ago. Even if it had dreams, it would have long become mottled fragments and completely annihilated!
"Even at the level of the universe, it is truly a super monster with super computing power and huge military power, an invincible super monster. A powerful existence of gods and demons can perfectly control everything in the universe and calculate the perfect answer to all questions - but at the level of "life" and "civilization", the so-called "perfection" does not exist at all. If the moon is full, it will lose. After the peak, it will be an abyss, and the end of "perfection" is destruction.
"In a word, the will of the earth has no emotions or dreams, and it does not even have the 'power to make mistakes'. The ability to make mistakes is a crucial factor in the evolution of life. Only by constantly making mistakes, constantly making mistakes and making mistakes again, and making those whimsical and absurd mistakes can we have the opportunity to survive and develop in the ever-changing universe, and even burst out with infinite possibilities.
"A civilization that does not make mistakes without imagination cannot find a slight possibility, or even find the meaning of its existence. It is destined to hit its limits soon after reaching its peak, and it will definitely not be able to break its limits. Therefore, it has to use external forces - a race that has emotions, dreams and imaginations, and will constantly make mistakes to find infinite possibilities, that is us.
"We humans are not as good as we brag about, and are not even worthy of the name of "Spirit of All Things". We are really a very bad carbon-based intelligent life. We have rich and colorful emotions, but we are often impulsive because of emotions, and fall into the dark quagmire of human nature to hurt ourselves. We have the ambition to constantly forge ahead, but this ambition often becomes ambition, and lose everything in vain for ambition that we cannot support at all. We are full of dreams, but this makes us often suffer from our own dissatisfaction. We are hard to fill our desires. No matter how much we get, we will be tired in three or five seconds, and we are eager to find more ten times and hundred times more to fill our inner emptiness.
"But it is these flaws that shape us and give us the most powerful power in the sea of stars. When our ancestors looked up at the stars for the first time a long time ago and sighed, our race was destined to embark on a supreme path that would overcome obstacles, ride the wind and waves, and dominate the world. Only in this way can we be qualified to be the "heart", "brain" or "engine" of the will of the earth!"
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were shocked again, and their eyes became particularly different when they looked at Red Pole Star.
"So, is the entire reincarnation prison the 'engine' of the earth's will?"
Zhang Daniu murmured.
“Yes, I like the saying ‘engine’ more than ‘brain’ or ‘farm’.”
Red Pole Star said, "Because the 'engine hypothesis' can explain well why the will of the earth dare not reboot in an instant by desperate situations - because doing so will not only cause serious damage to the 'engine' itself, but also interrupt the coherence of power output and affect its combat effectiveness on the battlefield of the universe."
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yao and Zhang Daniu both thought it was reasonable.
Think of the will of the earth as a chariot that is fiercely fighting with the enemy, and its engine will not be restarted casually. If the engine is damaged for three or five minutes, it will be enough for the will of the earth to be shot into a hornet's nest by the enemy.
"Your guess makes sense, but I still don't understand."
Zhang Daniu frowned and said, "Even if the Prison of Reincarnation is really an infinite farm with an engine that rotates at a high speed forever, why is it now? It was from the 1970s and 1980s to the 1930s and 1940s?"
"Because this is the golden age of Earth civilization, humans have reached the peak that carbon-based intelligent life on a single planet in the past few decades."
Red Pole Star said, "I guess, the will of the earth can certainly set the background time of the prison of reincarnation in the Middle Ages or even the Stone Age, but in this way, there is no way to harvest enough emotions and imagination - from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, and even to the modern era when the Industrial Revolution was just in its infancy, the dark ages were all wise and confused. People living in that kind of ignorant and closed environment were unable to fill their stomachs and stay safe. Most of the energy was devoted to the competition for survival. Only a very small number of people could have "luxury goods" such as emotions and imagination. The backward means of information transmission made their emotions and imagination unable to form a large-scale "resonance" with others.
"A poet living in the medieval ages, even if he wrote an immortal poem about the stars and the universe, it may take thirty or fifty years or even one or two hundred years before it can be transmitted to 100,800 miles away. In the ears of another poet, most of them except these noble poets cannot understand one-tenth of their exquisiteness. Such information transmission efficiency is too low, and how can the emotions and imagination stimulated meet the needs of the will of the earth?
"And our era, or the era carefully created for us by the will of the earth, is completely different.
"Steam Revolution, Electrical Revolution, Information Revolution!
“World War I, World War II, Cold War!
"Turing machines, computers, networks, mobile phones, wireless networks, and various information terminals!
"Popular education for all is a solid enough material foundation to nourish the entertainment of all people, millions of people's online games at the same time, millions of words of online novels, and super-speed interaction between authors and readers!
"Space technology, cloning technology, nanotechnology, information explosion, technology explosion, everyone can share their dreams and emotions with others anytime and anywhere through mobile terminals, forming a large-scale resonance similar to mass hysteria!
"Don't you think that if the will of the earth really wants to harvest our emotions and dreams, is this the best time?"
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were stunned for a long time.
Zhang Daniu scratched his hair and said, "So, what you mean is that all the information terminals we use, including the social environment we live in, are all created intentionally by the will of the earth to harvest us?"
"It may not be created intentionally - all this is really too real, so real that it doesn't seem to be completely forged. I suspect that a long time ago, there was indeed an "Earth of Origin". Every reincarnation we experience is based on the history of the "Earth of Origin" as a template."
Red Pole Star said, "But this period of time must be carefully selected by the will of the earth. Only such a golden age is most convenient for it to "cultivate" the strongest emotions and richest imagination and carry out the most efficient "harvest".
"If this is true, then the Apocalypse organization has another explanation for the obliteration of the observer - perhaps it is not just the fear of the observer awakening more heroic spirits, but also part of the harvest. After all, observers are often those with the strongest emotions and rich imagination. Reaping an observer is probably more useful than harvesting a hundred ordinary people."
“That means—”
Zhang Daniu thought of a chilling possibility, "The creation of the observer, the awakened one's awakening, and even the resistance of the broken one, are everything in the plan of the earth's will?"
"There is this possibility. After all, the awakened person discovers the truth and evolves into the Prison Breaking Man to resist. It will definitely release endless ripples of emotions, will and determination. Perhaps the will of the earth needs these things?"
Red Pole Star smiled slightly, "However, I always believe that something that can perfectly control everything does not exist. Perhaps the will of the earth in its heyday could manipulate six billion heroic spirits as they please, but today is different from the past. This time, we are different!"
"I see."
Zhang Daniu thought for a while and said, "Then why does the Earth's will set the end time of the prison of reincarnation until the 1930s and 1940s? The further we go, the more powerful the information explosion, and people have more and more dreams. Can't it reap more emotions and imagination?"
"No, that would be too much."
Red Pole Star says, "The so-called 'harvesting emotions and imagination' is a double-edged sword. When heroes continuously output the most intense ripples in their souls, they will surely awaken and resist. The will of the earth must control the resistance of the awakened person to a reasonable limit and must not exceed the critical point, which will lead to a complete out of control of the situation.
