0605 Chapter Twelve: The Not Eternal Dusk (Section 72)
With another gentle push from behind, that damn falling feeling came again, and Zhen Cheng felt like she had fallen out of the whole world.
When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in a circular room that looked like a university lecture hall.
At this time, the room already has an avant-garde retro feel. On the desks that look like solid wood, a holographic projection software interactive system can be clicked on at every position.
Judging from the inhuman organs that the students around him occasionally saw, it was easy for Zhen Cheng to think of where he was now.
A young man with a big nose and deep eyes is giving a speech on the stage:
"The universe has limits, and the same is true for the universe system. Natural existence will convert mass and energy, and the trend of entropy increase is irreversible.
Only by exploring the potential of the cosmic system, only the C-entropy of human civilization's endless growth, and the energy balance brought about by the increase in civilization's entropy are the only hope for mankind.
The future of mankind is destined to continue to evolve. The evolution of the body, the evolution of dimensions, the evolution of energy, and the evolution of civilization.
Only by contacting, opening up, trying, challenging, and constantly applying and practicing can we understand our own bodies, understand nature and society, and understand our weapons against time.
Classmates, you may feel that the world we live in now is in the best of times. After recovering from the decline of the Holy Era, our living standards and the boundaries of human expansion in the stars and sea have reached an unprecedented level.
But I have to tell you some unfortunate news. That is, since our birth, we have never stopped racing against time.
In the passing of time, all the mass and energy in the light universe will be gradually consumed, and eventually all things will perish. Or, should we hold on tightly to the only weapon and explore how to use it, so that our race and civilization can be like that extreme
Do the few immortal gods achieve immortality?
History has actually given us the answer. If we don’t try to understand, accept, use and continuously develop the cosmic system, then the node we lose to time may not need to wait until the end of time, but will be realized in your lifetime...
"
"Mr. Lamarck!" Suddenly behind the desk in the lecture theater, a tall boy with a long lizard tail suddenly stood up and said emotionally:
"But the God Lord has also warned about the threat of artificial humans, and Matar even used his own life to prove this!"
Lamarck faced the student who interrupted him directly, his eyes deep and peaceful: "Civilized people slaughter savages, white people slaughter black people, synthetic people slaughter native people...
What the final result will be, the fact that you are sitting here today, coming from different galaxies, with different skin colors and synthetic organs, is the best evidence.
I would like to ask this classmate, in your eyes, what is the difference between the natural humans in our real universe, the artificial humans in the universe system who are oppressed and slaughtered, and the absurd and meaningless cannibalism in our history?"
"But...but they are our creations..." The tall boy was obviously at a loss for words.
Zhen Cheng feels that it is the same in any era and in any place. People who allow religious fanaticism to occupy their brains and rob them of independent conscious decision-making are often equivalent to people whose heads are empty and not filled with clear thoughts.
"Yes, you are right! We created artificial humans. Then I want to ask you, this classmate, where do you come from?
Was it originally bred by parents of both sexes? Was it genetically customized by same-sex parents? Or was it randomly evolved by the Ministry of Population based on planned population shares like most people here?"
"I am a natural-born child of the natural gender!" the tall boy said in a very proud tone, but this caused a murmur of boos in the classroom.
It is obvious that in the real universe of the Fifth Era, different ideas and values collide fiercely among the people.
What you regard as pride and glory is not only worthless in the eyes of others, but may even be dregs that need to be despised.
One can imagine what a chaotic and turbulent era this would be under such a cultural conflict.
"Oh, naturally bred children, that's great," the big-nosed professor's voice did not contain any contempt or rejection, but seemed very humorous:
"Don't laugh, everyone, I'm serious. After all, in this day and age, it is relatively rare for couples to have no species isolation from each other without genetic modification.
But this also means that, my child, you were created by your parents.
Excuse me, what is the difference between this and us natural humans creating artificial humans?
The genes of your parents are flowing in your body, and the artificial humans in the underlying universe also have the same characteristics as us.
Some of these groups are even less genetically compatible with you than your classmates, your lovers, your siblings, and you.
Artificial humans have the same intelligence, body, creativity and potential as us.
Even because of their convenient location and large base, they have gone further than natural people on the road of sublimation and evolution. They are the predecessors we need to learn from and can lead us further."
"But..." the boy blushed: "Are we going to sit back and watch the artificial humans who have the advantages of population and dimension rule us?"
"How can we, the noble Greeks, be ruled by the Persians! How can we, who are natural beings, be ruled by artificial men!
We are native earthlings, how can we allow Martians to join the highest meeting of mankind? I am the most handsome student in the class, how can I let other students fall in love first?"
Lamarck on the stage made an exaggerated gesture and joked: "Students, when the number of senators from Mars exceeds that of people from Earth, have we ever caused oppression to our compatriots on Earth?
The issues that some people are concerned about are actually irrelevant from the beginning.
At this point, I realize that some of you may almost think of me as a compassionate and good person.
But unfortunately, I am not a believer in the atonement faction, nor do I think that all achievements of the Holy Era should be denied and overturned.
If you come to listen to my lecture, I can give you only three words.
Survive, survive, survive.
In the face of survival, all glory, all doctrines, all trends of thought, all interests, and all humanity are nothing but illusion.
Thank you, that’s all I have to say.”
There was no applause or boos. The students in the hall seemed to have suddenly turned into philosophers and left the stage silently.
Weiwei Zhencheng approached the podium and silently handed a heavy book as old as a magic book to the podium.
The two large characters of the Sage's Rune are imprinted on the cover of the book, where it says: "The Book of Truth".
