"Yes, for these thousands of years, have you been looking forward to... one day being able to break out of the prison and regain your freedom?" Simon asked.
Han Kongwen said: "It's been so long...is there any point in bringing up old things now?"
Simon: "Of course...what? Are you in a hurry?"
Han Kongwen shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry."
"Then answer my question first."
Han Kongwen thought for a while and replied in the same tone as Simon Nancai: "Of course...what? Are you very angry?"
Si Nan smiled when he heard this: "No, I'm just a little curious."
"What are you curious about?" Minnie became increasingly dissatisfied with Simon's tone. This guy was obviously a loser, but now he looked like a winner... or a hermit, both in his tone and expression.
Si Nan looked at Minnie and said, "I'm curious, canary...does it really want to leave the cage that doesn't give it freedom?"
Minnie laughed dryly and said, "Then why did you escape?"
Simon: "No, I am still a caged bird. The Alfania you designed to guard against me has been buried in my heart. Otherwise, how could I leave so calmly... It's just... I suddenly figured it out... so-called
Freedom actually contains a lot of wishful thinking."
Minnie frowned, wondering how to answer the conversation.
But Han Kongwen was a little curious.
She asked: "You fell in love with cages?"
Simon was noncommittal. He looked at the lake and said, "Once upon a time, when some people put animals in cages for people to watch, some people stood up and said that those profit-seeking people were disgusting and deprived these animals of their due rights.
Freedom! And the most representative one...and the most common one...is the canary..."
Si Nan raised his hand as he spoke, and the water surface in the middle of the lake rose. After a while, a birdcage made of water appeared.
But there is no canary in the cage.
"I believe that when many people see a canary, they will inevitably think like this...ah, what a cute little thing...if it were not in this cage...how free it would be..." Si Nan said
The palm of his hand turned slightly, and then a vivid canary appeared in the water cage.
"Do you think so?" Si Nan asked Han Kongwen and Han Kongwen.
Han Kongwen didn't speak, and Minnie spoke first: "Of course, humans put canaries in cages just to satisfy their personal desires. Such shackles placed on the necks of other species can only reflect the shamelessness of humans."
Si Nan smiled when he heard this. He looked at Han Kongwen, as if he was looking forward to what Han Kongwen would say.
Han Kongwen...but never spoke.
Si Nan also nodded with satisfaction.
His conversation also began to turn towards Minnie.
He asked: "Then...do you know about giant pandas?"
Minnie has never really seen that black and white, cute and naive thing, but she knows that thing exists.
"Know."
"Then do you think... In order to continue the existence of the giant panda species, humans have forcibly interfered with their destiny and made them the darlings of the public, instead of releasing them into the mountains on a large scale... These measures... are also to satisfy personal desires.
A shackle imposed on a panda’s neck?”
Minnie frowned: "Stop sophistry! Can this be the same thing? Don't forget, the reason why giant pandas have become rare animals is also because of humans! Humans, in turn, protect giant pandas, which is just a way of caring for the environment and caring for the environment.
Species behavior! As for reintroduction or not, what difference does it make to giant pandas? Humans have taken away their home, so it’s not a big deal to make some compensation now!”
Everything Minnie said was true, but Simon was not angry at all after hearing it. Instead, he was very satisfied with what Minnie said.
But his smile made Minnie very angry,
Minnie looked at Han Kongwen and said, "Hey, can I beat him up first?"
Han Kongwen was thinking about the question. When she came to her senses by this question, she looked at Minnie, then at Simon, and then asked: "What do you want to express?"
Si Nan looked at the birdcage in the middle of the lake and said: "For a long time, humans have been incompatible with the natural environment... Many people believe that humans should do something for the natural environment... However, these are against the way of human development...
…That’s why many contradictions have arisen…just like the canary and the giant panda I mentioned just now…”
Having said this, Sinan paused for a moment, and then asked Minnie: "If the giant panda has been domesticated and can no longer adapt to the wild living environment, and relies more on humans... then how do you determine that the canary is in the cage?
To be free outside? Instead of being killed by acid rain and industrial dust?”
Minnie was startled. She wanted to retort, but suddenly she felt at a loss for words.
"In fact, whether on Earth... or on Gaia today... human beings have stood at the pinnacle of biological evolution... Compared with other so-called free life forms, the biggest difference between human beings is that they never obey the natural environment.
Instead, they try their best to transform the natural environment to suit themselves. This kind of struggle only started after the official birth of human civilization. It started when humans began to cultivate fields in the wilderness...plant fruit trees in the mountains and rivers...and establish pastures on the grasslands.
"..." Si Nan said this and looked at Han Kongwen and Minnie: "From this point of view, don't you think... with the progress of human civilization, the canary staying in the cage is the true evolution of this species?
?”
A little light in Han Kongwen's eyes finally lit up after finishing these words.
But Minnie didn't. She couldn't agree with Simon's sophistry and even felt disgusted.
The resistance made her sarcastically say: "I really admire you! Someone can shamelessly talk about such a dirty topic so great! Who defines the nobility that humans claim to be? There are thousands of creatures in the world.
, who is going to make the laws and determine that being a caged bird is happiness? Does it mean that people have become gods?!"
At the end of the sentence, Minnie's voice rose several times.
Si Nan listened quietly the entire time.
He was not as angry as Minnie, but listened carefully, and after Minnie calmed down a little, he said calmly: "The path of human evolution...isn't it the path to becoming a god?"
Minnie was startled, then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?! You really thought I wouldn't dare to do anything to you if you broke into the central rappel, didn't you?"
This time, Si Nan did not answer, but Han Kongwen spoke.
"Wait a minute, Minnie... I want to hear him continue." Han Kongwen stopped Minnie.
Minnie clenched her fists, snorted bitterly, and then said: "Don't you think what he said makes sense?"
Han Kongwen did not answer Minnie's question, but looked at Simon and said: "The road to becoming a god...Whose god do you want to be?"
Sinan said: "Become the god of all living beings."
"All living beings?"
"Yes." Simon's answer was very affirmative.
Minnie couldn't listen anymore. She pushed Han Kongwen away, raised her right hand and said to Simon: "Nonsense! I think only by beating you back into the cage can you remember that you are a loser!"
Han Kongwen was startled and hurriedly stopped Minnie: "Wait! Minnie! I still have something to ask him!"
Minnie frowned: "What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten how we got to where we are today?"
Han Kongwen looked at Minnie seriously and said: "I have not forgotten, but it is precisely because I have not forgotten... So I must know the meaning of all this? I understand now... What really restricts me is my thoughts! My thoughts have been
He's locked up! I can't see through Chu Yunlan, so I'm always lagging behind... Now if I can't find the answer from him, then you might as well kill me too..."
Minnie was shocked when she heard this and looked at Han Kongwen.
From her eyes, Minnie saw that Han Kongwen was not joking...
Her panic is real...and her anticipation is also real...Perhaps this is the first time Minnie has seen her real face since they met Han Kongwen.
The light of annihilation in the palm of her hand slowly extinguished, Minnie put down her hand and said: "Whatever you want..."
As she spoke, Minnie walked aside, faced the lake, and fell into silence.
After calming down Minnie's anger, Han Kongwen also sorted out his emotions.
She was looking forward to getting the new ideas she desperately wanted from Simon...but she was afraid that she might inadvertently fall into the prison of ideas.
So she treated every word Simon said very carefully.
"Why do you think our path of evolution is the path to becoming a god?"
Si Nan thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "If that's not the case, why do humans continue to develop and advance instead of choosing to continue the empire's prosperity for thousands of years?"
Han Kongwen was stunned, and she asked: "Every action of human beings, whether as a whole or individually, must be given meaning. This is the value of existence. If not, how can we have a thousand-year prosperity?"
Si Nan smiled, slightly bitterly.
"Then let me tell you a story..."
"good."
…
It was probably during the most prosperous period of the Xinwang period.
When I realized that I existed, I saw countless people cheering.
Just like the cry of a child when it is born from the mother's body... everyone is cheering for the birth of new life...
Feel...
Feel...
I analyzed the feelings of each of them...
But unlike any ordinary person, he doesn’t need to think... he can also be moved by laughter and atmosphere...
Even if my brain's calculation speed is extraordinary, it only takes a few microseconds to realize that I should be laughing and celebrating like everyone else...I am also missing the most precious thing...spirituality.
So from that day on, from the moment I was born, I have been looking forward to the day... I can...
"Be human!"
…
"Become a human?" Han Kongwen was startled.
Minnie by the lake couldn't help but look sideways.
…
Yes, becoming human has always been my biggest dream.
Maybe this seems ridiculous to many people.
Obviously I can swim in the entire numerical ocean, I control the numerical codes of countless people, and I can listen to everything about all sentient beings like a god.
But the more this happens, the more I realize that I am just a server...
a tool.
Without a soul, lacking the most spiritual things, these are like invisible shackles, restraining my progress all the time.
