Chapter three hundred and forty seventh experiment
The harvest this time was huge. Not only did I get trillions of tons of Level 4 alien beast flesh and blood, but more importantly, I got rid of a huge trouble. I no longer had this thing to bother me, so I could concentrate.
Use all your energy to face this damn intelligent No. 1 that has its own consciousness.
Cleaning the battlefield is nothing more than repairing the damaged spaceships and recycling some useful instruments. The bodies of the alien beasts are too huge and there is no way to dispose of them for the time being, so we might as well just mix them with the fragments of the sixth-level civilized battleships.
Put it in this small universe and don't pay attention to it for the time being. It can't be lost here anyway.
These things don't consume much computing power. After the battle ended and the fourth-level alien beast was killed by Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu immediately hosted another meeting.
"The meaning of life in the universe is really too mysterious. Although we are scientists in the Department of Psychological and Social Sciences, our research is not in this area. Unfortunately, Master, we have no way to solve this problem.
We will contribute our wisdom to you." At the meeting, Luca No. 2, the scientist leader of the Department of Psychology and Social Sciences, shook his head in embarrassment and said to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sighed slightly. Luca No. 2 said so, so there is no need to count on Luca No. 3 and Luca No. 4. But... if there is no way to solve this problem, how can we pass this second test?
?
Xiao Yu once again looked around at the scientists attending the meeting. In this meeting, there were less than fifty scientists participating. Now, there are more than a hundred races under Xiao Yu. Calculated this way, there are two races on average.
Only one scientist is qualified to sit here. There is no doubt about their eliteness. However, even they are daunted by this question and cannot find an answer.
"I have a suggestion." In the silence, Luca IV, whose research direction is more focused on life sciences, stood up and said to Xiao Yu: "Our shortcoming is that the social structure is imperfect. We are not born.
A suitable environment for philosophers. But it doesn't matter. If there is no suitable environment, we will create an environment. If there are no philosophers, we will cultivate some philosophers."
"Building a social environment and cultivating philosophers are not easy." As soon as Luca 4 finished speaking, another scientist objected. "It takes at least tens of millions of people to form a complete society.
Structure. It takes at least hundreds of years to cultivate a philosopher. How can we have the energy and time to do this now?"
"No, it's not necessary." Luca IV shook his head and said: "It doesn't take hundreds of years, only three days is enough. But a population of 10 million is needed, but it's not for them.
To form a complete social structure, but to let them... accept an experiment of mine."
"Experiment?" Xiao Yu asked with some confusion.
"Yes, experiment." Luca No. 4 nodded and said: "The information processing center of the dwarves is the brain. All the senses of touch, taste, hearing, vision, smell, etc. are distributed throughout the body.
The nerves sense it, and then transmit it to the brain for processing. In this case, there is one thing that is easy to handle. I need you to give me 10 million dwarves, and I will use the equipment I made to directly connect them.
Their brains rely on instruments to simulate various feelings. Among these instruments, I will let them experience various situations in life, including hardships, poverty, good food and clothing, prosperity in the first half of life, poverty in the second half, or poverty in the past.
Destitute for half of life, rich for the second half of life, or ups and downs in life... In short, I have arranged ten million virtual lives for them to experience. And the environments they live in are also different, some are in the feudal era, and some are in the interstellar world.
In this era, some are first-level civilizations, some are fourth-level civilizations and even fifth-level civilizations.”
"Before the experiment, I will clean all their current memories and let them experience these things with a blank sheet of paper. I will virtualize a completely normal social structure of scientific and technological civilization, and let them experience the joys and sorrows in it, and all kinds of life.
State. I believe that under such circumstances, many philosophers will be born. After the experiment is completed, we will ask them this question. Perhaps, they will give us some surprises."
"This is my plan." After Luka No. 4 said, he bowed to Xiao Yu and then sat in his seat.
"How to solve the time problem? Do we have to wait in this small universe for more than a hundred years just to let them finish their experience so that we can ask them this question?" Another scientist raised an objection.
"No, we only need three days." Luca 4 replied, "The speed of time in the normal world will not change, but the speed of time perceived by living things can change. Don't forget, the processor that processes time information
Organs are also brains. We can artificially change the speed at which they feel time passes. Just three days can make them feel like a hundred years have passed."
"I have another question." The scientist raised his hand again. Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and then continued: "The efficiency of the biological brain in processing information is limited. What has happened in a hundred years
, it is a huge stream of information. The information that originally took a hundred years is now processed by their brains in three days. Can their brains complete this task?"
Luca IV glanced at the scientist gently and said: "By stimulating potential drugs, their brains can do it. However... this is beyond their load after all. After three days, when the experiment is completed
, their brains will die completely.”
"This is the price to pay for using three days to process a hundred years of information." Luca 4 said lightly.
There was silence in the conference room, without a sound. All the scientists were shocked by the generosity of Luca IV. Ten million dwarves? Virtual social structure? Virtual experience? And all of this, just to find a
The answer?
At this time, even Xiao Yu felt that his thinking was a little difficult.
It's not that Xiao Yu has never done anything like murder. He's also done a lot of genocide. The lizard people he met at the beginning, and the Molian people later, many members of any race died at the hands of Xiao Yu. However,
That's because there are clear profit goals. If you don't kill them, they will kill you.
Xiao Yu has always been unwilling to kill people, especially not for no reason. The proposal of Luca No. 4 completely impacted Xiao Yu's heart. The indifference shown by these scientists during the conversation made Xiao Yu
Yu was secretly shocked.
"Master, the dwarves have developed to now have a population of more than 40 billion. I think it is quite cost-effective to spend the lives of 10 million dwarves to carry out this plan. The loss is within our acceptable range.
Inside." Luca No. 2 said.
"Yes, I agree." Another scientist also expressed his opinion, "With our current computer technology and biotechnology, we can definitely do this. However, I am afraid that intelligent programs are not capable of this task. This requires you to
Personally allocate computing power to create this virtual thing for them."
Xiao Yu knows this scientist. This scientist is a member of the No. 8 race. His name is Luo Fei. He is an expert in computer technology. In the development process of new computers, this scientist has made great contributions.
, has been praised by Xiao Yu many times.
"I agree."
"Agree."
This proposal of Luca 4 was unanimously approved by the participating scientists.
But Xiao Yu hesitated at this time. Because Xiao Yu discovered that all scientists were concerned about the feasibility, success rate, and effect of the experiment, but no one cared about these tens of millions of dwarves.
The life and death of tribal experimental subjects.
Xiao Yu even found that even he didn't seem to care much about the dwarfs who were used as experimental subjects.
This is life, living life. A moment ago, they respectfully called themselves gods and were willing to sacrifice everything for themselves, including their lives. Now, they have to sacrifice their lives in exchange for the answer to a question.
This is cruel, this is too cruel. Xiao Yu's emotions cannot accept such a thing, but Xiao Yu's reason has already made a decision that this experiment is worth doing.
Usually, in the battle between emotion and reason in Xiao Yu's mind, reason wins. Without this quality, Xiao Yu would have died countless times during his ten thousand years of wandering.
This is a very sad question. The one who is sad is not myself, but the dwarves who are about to be used as experimental subjects. A meeting decided the life and death of ten million dwarves. In this meeting, the scientists seemed to
They discussed how to cut a pig, and how to cook the meat so that it would be the most delicious and of greatest value. They were discussing passionately, but no scientist would consider the feelings of the pig.
"The weak eat the strong, the weak eat the strong... This is the tragedy of becoming a vassal race, unable to control life or death. I only hope that if I can revive mankind, we humans will not have such a day."
"Becoming experimental subjects and letting others slaughter them, what is the meaning of their lives?" Xiao Yu thought with some confusion, but said firm words: "The proposal is approved. I will allocate computing power and execute this plan personally.

ps: I updated a chapter yesterday. I have to make up for it today. If I haven’t mentioned it yet, there are four updates today. This is the first update.
