Chapter 55 Earth: Difficult road to walk, difficult to bring baby with
"Not only that, the consciousness of the earth also needs a powerful armed force like us to protect it from external forces such as rda."
"If so, the logic of digital life would make sense."
"From the perspective of digital life, earth consciousness can help humans reduce their dependence on intelligent systems and increase the possibility of the continuation of human civilization..."
Zhang Weilai paused, then added: "Although we don't know yet how to achieve this effect, we can infer this from the words of digital life."
"At the same time, humans can also help Earth consciousness survive longer."
"Mutual benefits for both parties."
"The most important thing is the living environment."
"We have traveled to "Avatar", and we may travel to other places in the future, and we may even have to fight against the advanced civilization that sent us to "Avatar"."
“The future for us and for planetary consciousness hangs in the balance.”
"In this case, cooperation is the best choice for both of us."
"So digital life wants to match us."
Zhang Weilai drew a new blueprint for everyone, that is, human beings and the consciousness of the earth are facing crises at the same time and need each other.
Vladimir frowned upon hearing this.
He said: "If the consciousness of the earth is really composed of all life on earth, then if the consciousness of the earth eliminates us, it can continue to exist, and if we want to eliminate it, we have to eliminate ourselves together."
"With unequal living status, won't we become slaves to the consciousness of the earth?"
Vladimir kept throwing questions.
“What would a partnership look like between us?”
"If we rely on the earth's consciousness, will He kill the donkey after we have no use for the earth's consciousness?"
In Vladimir's view, the cooperative relationship between human beings and the consciousness of the earth must be unequal.
Human beings are likely to be exploited and oppressed by the earth's consciousness, and when the earth's consciousness no longer needs humans, the humans who rely on the earth's consciousness may be eliminated by the earth's consciousness.
Zhang Weilai said slowly: "We know too little about the consciousness of the earth, and we don't know what information digital life has. So what we just said are conjectures and only provide you with a new idea."
In the final analysis, there is still insufficient information.
Craven showed a thoughtful expression. He listened to the constant stream of expert opinions in the earphones and slowly said: "Actually, whether we can achieve a healthy cooperative relationship with the earth's consciousness mainly depends on the attitude of the earth's consciousness towards us."
"We have no control."
What humans think is not important, what matters is what the earth thinks.
"But the conflict comes from a conflict of interest."
"The life forms of planetary consciousness are completely different from humans, and they need different things. Can you think of one thing that both we and planetary consciousness need?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
If you think about it carefully, the status, wealth, power, resources, spouse, etc. that humans need are meaningless to planetary consciousness.
"Judging from the relationship between the Na'vi and Ava, planetary consciousness can be said to be free of desires and demands on the material level." Craven continued, "If there are no needs, there will be no contradictions, and if there are no contradictions, there will be no conflicts."
"Without conflict, we don't have to worry about the Earth consciousness harming us."
"After all, we are also part of the earth's consciousness, and humans have lived on the earth for so many years. The earth's consciousness has not done anything bad to humans. Instead, it has allowed humans to become the masters of life on earth."
The French representative thought for a few seconds and then agreed: "According to our relationship with the earth's consciousness, the earth's consciousness is actually our mother. As long as the mother is not too harsh, I don't think anyone will think that he is his mother's slave."
"Similarly, as long as the child doesn't go too far, a mother will not hurt her child."
"The relationship between the Na'vi and Ava is very good."
Vladimir frowned.
Although what Craven and the French representative said made sense, he still felt that it was extremely irresponsible to base the survival of human civilization on the attitude of the earth's consciousness towards them.
Suddenly, Zhang Weilai said thoughtfully: "Actually, there is one thing that both human beings and the consciousness of the earth need..."
"Safety!"
Craven nodded, but there was no trace of surprise on his face.
He said: "Safety is the only thing that both human beings and the earth's consciousness need, and it is also the only thing that can influence the attitude of the earth's consciousness towards us."
Vladimir was stunned.
He seemed to have thought of something, but suddenly couldn't say it.
Craven smiled and said: "The consciousness of the earth needs to be safe. As long as the existence of human beings can make the consciousness of the earth safer, the consciousness of the earth will not attack us."
"In fact, security is also a condition for convincing Earth consciousness to cooperate with us."
Attitudes are illusory, but values are real.
Vladimir's eyes lit up.
Security is the core interest of earth consciousness. If humans can help earth consciousness gain security, earth consciousness will naturally have no reason to deal with humans and will also help humans.
He felt that Craven's words opened a new window for him.
But he quickly frowned again.
Because even if human beings can bring temporary safety to the earth's consciousness, and thus gain temporary peace.
But if humans continue to exist and technology continues to advance, then sooner or later humans will become a threat to the earth's consciousness, causing the earth's consciousness to be malicious.
How to solve this problem?
Craven said calmly: "As for whether our existence can make the earth's consciousness safer, we just have to wait and see."
Vladimir asked: "What are you waiting for?"
Craven replied: "Wait for a while and see if we will travel to other worlds. If the travel continues, then our existence will make the earth's consciousness safer."
No one knows where we will travel next time and what dangers we will face.
If the time travel continues, the consciousness of the earth will need a powerful armed force to help it deal with threats from the universe. The existence of human beings will naturally make the consciousness of the earth safer.
"As for the day when the earth will no longer travel through time, will we be overwhelmed by the consciousness of the earth?"
Clay said confidently: "Then there's no need to worry."
"We can leave some of our compatriots behind in every world we visit. In this way, no matter what humans on earth experience, our civilization will last forever in the multiverse."
"If Earth consciousness eliminates humans on Earth, our fellow humans scattered across the multiverse will become its enemies."
"By then, we can achieve deterrence from the earth's consciousness!"
Threaten the Earth?
Vladimir's eyes lit up, and he thought that this was the path that mankind should take, instead of pinning his hopes on the attitude of the earth's consciousness towards mankind.
"And the ability of the earth's consciousness is limited. As long as our technology continues to advance, we will one day be able to get rid of the control of the earth's consciousness..."
In the conference room, Craven was talking.
As everyone knows, a certain consciousness on earth is listening silently beside you at this moment.
"These kids think too much."
If Chen Fan had a body, he would be shaking his head helplessly.
