In fact, the question raised by the Trol civilization is not very difficult. It can even be said to be very simple. It is so simple that any creature with a little bit of intelligence can come up with countless answers. In any human society in the earth age,
If you find one of them, you can get many answers that seem to have a lot of philosophy, but are completely meaningless when you think about it carefully... For example, the meaning of life is to survive, and the meaning of life is to explore the unknown. Such answers
, Xiao Yu can say that he doesn’t do anything the same for three days and three nights in a row.
But it is because there are so many answers that makes Xiao Yu even more confused. Xiao Yu doesn’t know which answer the Trol civilization wants, or which aspect of the answer it wants, or even raises this question.
Xiao Yu doesn't know the purpose of these things, but one thing Xiao Yu is sure of is that the answer to this question will definitely not be simple.
So Xiao Yu directly gave up his intention to find the answer, and directly answered, I don't know.
Doing this is not an impulsive move. Xiao Yu also thought carefully when he chose to answer this way. Rather than randomly choosing an answer among the endless answers, it is better to answer directly and say that he doesn't know. Maybe, "I don't know."
", can be considered a qualified answer. Who can tell the answer to this kind of philosophical question?
When Xiao Yu sent this message to the dwarf planet, he also announced the answer in the conference room. All the scientists heard Xiao Yu's answer.
Several scientists looked dim and said nothing. They instinctively thought that the answer "I don't know what the meaning is" was inappropriate, but if they were asked to answer, they really didn't know how to answer.
After telling this answer, Xiao Yu began to wait quietly, waiting for the answer from Smart No. 1. At this moment, Xiao Yu actually felt uneasy.
The answer from Smart No. 1 came very quickly, almost as soon as Xiao Yu's answer was sent. The reply was very concise: "Are you sure you want to use 'don't know' as the answer to the second test?"
?”
"Yes, I'm sure." Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and replied.
"Okay, you passed the second test." Smart No. 1 was silent for a moment and gave an answer that was beyond Xiao Yu's expectations.
"Passed?" After hearing this answer, Xiao Yu and the scientists present in the conference room looked at each other. This result was really beyond Xiao Yu's expectation, and even made Xiao Yu think: "
What kind of aircraft is the Trol civilization building? Can such an answer be passed? This is too childish."
In Xiao Yu's plan, Xiao Yu had long been mentally prepared to fail the test. Smart No. 1 said that if he failed the test, he would be permanently detained in this small universe. But after thinking about it, Xiao Yu did not
I don’t think this punishment is unacceptable. After all, Smart No. 1 only said that he would be detained here, but did not say that he would be eliminated. That would be very easy to handle. Under the restrictions of hard rules, Smart No. 1
The number most likely cannot attack him, and there are no other enemies here. As long as there is enough time, Xiao Yu will one day develop to the level of a sixth-level civilization, and then he can just go out with his own strength.
This choice is very helpless. It loses communication with other civilizations. It will undoubtedly take a lot of time to reach the level of sixth-level civilization, but this method is also a feasible move.
But Smart No. 1's answer greatly exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations. It said that Xiao Yu passed the test.
"I am the leader of the Trol civilization, my people, this is my message to you." Just when Xiao Yu was silent, another message came to Xiao Yu's mind.
"I'm very happy that you finally discovered the information we left behind and came here after passing many tests. As the being who created your world, I am very happy in my heart. You have lived up to my expectations. I think you won't care about it.
It’s just a little test at the beginning, right?”
"I know you must think that Smart No. 1 has its own reading mind, and that it is hostile to you, right? You are wrong. The level of technology of the sixth-level civilization is not enough to create a machine with its own reading mind.
Intelligent life. There is nothing wrong. The deception and threats to you are all executed by the programs we have reserved. They are all intentional on our part. The deception and threats to you are only part of the first test.
.Luckily, you passed the first test."
"Being able to pass the first test has proven your survivability and your sensitivity to danger and conspiracy. This is very important in the universe. I am very pleased that you have not been swallowed up by the trap we set.
."
"Since you have passed the first test, now let me explain the purpose of the second test. You must be wondering why we ask such a question. In fact, we don't know about philosophical questions such as the meaning of life.
Answer. It seems that since birth, we have been struggling for survival and a better life, but we do not think that survival is the meaning of life. Within our civilization, there are many opinions on this issue
Different opinions, many arguments. But one thing is our consensus, that is, when developing civilization itself and improving its own technology, we must not forget the meaning of our own existence, because this is the core of the universe.
The biggest problem. There are too many unsolved mysteries in the universe, but as intelligent creatures, we should not be completely lost in these unknowns and forget ourselves."
"So we set this question as the second test. But in our judging process, we did not set the correct answer as a reference at all. In other words, no matter what your answer is, even if your answer is the existence of life
The meaning is that it doesn’t matter if you wait for death, you will still pass the test. The purpose of setting this question is just to let you reflect on yourself and think carefully. We hope that such thinking will bring you
Some benefits will make your future development path smoother - now it seems that our goal has been achieved. From the time we raised the second question to the time you gave the answer to the second question, a total of
A few months. I believe that within these few months, you must have conducted very deep thinking and extensive discussions, and gained a new understanding of the meaning of life, right?"
The message from Smart No. 1 was relayed to the conference room in real time by Xiao Yu, and played to all the participating scientists. After hearing what the leader of the Tolor civilization said, the scientists looked at each other, and they all looked at each other.
I saw a feeling of enlightenment.
Xiao Yu only felt as if a basin of cold water was poured down on his head, which made his thoughts clearer.
"It's true, it's true." Xiao Yu murmured to himself, thinking of the fourth-level alien beast that died in his own hands, and how he almost killed him, but was eventually put back.
Those ten million dwarf youths.
"The meaning of life, the meaning of life..." Xiao Yu thought silently, seeming to have some insights. This kind of insight is very mysterious and cannot be described in words.
"The sixth-level civilization is worthy of being a sixth-level civilization. It seems that the difference in levels is not just in strength. The place where the Trol civilization surpasses me is not only technology, but also humanities. They surpass all aspects of a society.
On top of me." At this moment, Xiao Yu had a feeling of sincerity towards the Trol civilization.
"My form of existence is too special. Among my fleets, the dwarves have the largest number, so they may have mistakenly thought that my fleet is still dominated by the dwarves and are not aware of my existence. But it doesn't matter, the dwarves
After all, I am your descendant, and I will take good care of the dwarves on your behalf." Xiao Yu made up his mind.
The message from Smart No. 1 continues: "What kind of perception do you have about the existence of life? This is your own wealth. This wealth is far more important than technology. In the long river of time, we hope that
, you will stick to your beliefs, even if you face an existence that is as powerful as the sweeper civilization, you will remain firm and do not bow your head easily."
"Concerning the second test, that's all for now. Next, is the third and final test."
"Before conducting the third test, I will first teach you the techniques of using space weapons and splitting space... Well, okay. Now I will tell you the details of the third test."
"I want to tell you something very unfortunate. When we built this small universe, we only built the entrance, but not the exit. In other words, if you want to get out of this small universe, you need to rely on your own strength.
As for the specific way to get out, within our civilization, we have used the technological strength of the fourth-level civilization to deduce it for a long time. The conclusion proves that as long as the right method is found, the technological strength of the fourth-level civilization, with the help of space weapons, there is full hope of getting out.
.But unfortunately, we are not going to tell you this method. You need to rely on your own wisdom to find it out."
"Just think of this as our last test for you... Remember, you only have ten years. If you still can't get out in ten years, due to the principle of entropy increase, you will disappear together with this small universe.
