What kind of world would it be if there were no humans in this world?
Schrödinger's cat describes an uncertain model, but in the real world, even if we don't observe whether the cat is alive or dead, the cat's life and death should be established and unchanging.
Because we are not the ultimate observer, we are not the "Creator".
We are only human beings.
It's just that we discovered the importance of observation to reality.
When people in ancient times said "the sky is round and the earth is round", the earth did not really become square due to the limitations of human subjective observation and cognition.
So... what we see may not be true.
The world never changes due to human observation. This is a very subtle philosophical thinking.
but……
Before all of this, when Han Kongwen first came into contact with Yang Yurong, she had heard such a story.
It's the story of a turkey scientist and a two-dimensional life form on cardboard.
Is it the same for humans at this moment?
The rules summarized by turkey scientists through discovery and cognition tell them that they will get food and water every Wednesday, but they do not know Thanksgiving, so when the farmer puts them on the truck and takes them to the slaughterhouse, they may
Still singing "Ode to Joy" together!
The black hole that can swallow everything discovered by the two-dimensional life form on the white paper is just a hole burned by humans with cigarette butts.
This is inevitable due to cognitive limitations.
Will the "Thanksgiving Day" and the holes we call "black holes" made by the "Creation God" that we humans are not aware of today also reflect the tragic ending of our human destiny in a sense?
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is unfounded worry.
As Chu Yunlan said, does it make sense to save humanity? If people living in the present cannot be saved, does it make sense to continue the concept of humanity?
This involves human ethics issues.
I don’t think anyone would abandon their family and everything and embark on a wandering journey with a “Holy Grail of Life”, right?
Not necessarily...
Yes……
Maybe some people are helpless and want to become the "Creator", a copy of the "Creator"!
But what does this mean to other people, to those who are thrown up here on earth?
Although Han Kongwen has not read "2012", she has read an article by Yang Di that commented on "2012".
Yang Di's words in the article left Han Kongwen fresh in his memory.
"Hope is always the best thing, but I can't see it in "2012". This is probably why such a grand and shocking disaster movie has such a low rating... After all, 1 billion euros is not for everyone.
Everyone has it, but almost everyone can afford the little stone hammer that leads to salvation!”
Regarding the meaning of small stone hammer, Han Kongwen also conducted a comprehensive search.
The result is also a movie.
"The Shawshank Redemption"
Although it was impossible to find all the numerical data for the entire movie, after watching those clips, Han Kongwen understood.
The small stone hammer represents "hope".
…
The reason why we don't worry about "Thanksgiving" or whether we are ants living under some higher civilization is because thinking about these issues does not include "hope".
Turkey knows "Thanksgiving"
"So what? Will they escape being slaughtered and served to the dinner table?"
Won't!
Since I don't know, then I would rather not know "Thanksgiving", so that I can at least live a happy and hopeful life before Thanksgiving.
After figuring this out, Han Kongwen felt suddenly enlightened.
But the problem is...
For the general public, "Thanksgiving" does not yet exist, and the Creators did not need turkeys on their tables.
But it's different for Han Kongwen...
At this time, she was already at the forefront of everyone, and there were only a handful of people who could share and discuss her views on the world with her, and she could not easily look back and choose to retreat.
…
"How long?" Chu Yunlan asked again.
Han Kongwen remained silent for a long time and still didn't answer.
She asked back: "You go around and around but still don't talk about why the world was destroyed. Are you trying to perfunctory me?"
Chu Yunlan smiled, very happily.
This was the first time in so long that she smiled so happily.
"No, no, no, I won't perfunctory you, because I also want to find someone to talk to. After all, I almost did it, but I was scared... I have to find the answer to determine whether I should continue or give up."
continue?
"Heh... you still have a chance to continue?"
Chu Yunlan smiled and did not answer the question, and then said to himself: "I believe that most people in this world will sneer at us world destroyers, and firmly believe that we are a group of out-and-out
A madman, but madman is a relative term, because in the eyes of a madman, the world is full of madmen."
…
Shortly after I eloped with my husband, Cerberus was put on full lockdown.
Although I no longer have much emotional ties to my family, I still hope that my father can live, so I asked my husband to save him.
I have said that my husband is a superficial man, and his business calculations are never implemented in me.
So after he heard my request, he returned to Cerberus without hesitation...
But it's a pity...
All he brought back was bad news.
My father died, not at the hands of omnics, but at the hands of hungry mobs.
They tortured my father by hanging him on a cross, and then left him there when the omnic army attacked.
Those omnics were sweeping across the city like locusts. My father was just a mortal, how could he survive...
…
Fortunately, my husband is still alive and he did not die because of me.
But what I didn't expect was that the reason my husband was able to come back to me alive was because he chose to join the World Destroyer.
Ah……
In order to live and to see me and our future children again, my husband, a superficial man, joined a lunatic organization without any thought.
And in the following years, I provided various resources to this organization, and even turned myself into a complete lunatic, just to keep my children and me as far away from this vortex as possible.
As for what happened next...
You know better than me.
After the destruction of the Golden Birdcage, the Arbiter searched for the disciples of the Golden Birdcage around the world. As the most powerful disciple among the many disciples, the Destroyer could not escape the exception.
Even though my husband concealed himself very well, he was still caught.
That night, I was not at home. My son, your Professor Su, witnessed with his own eyes his father being raped.
Arbiter execution scene.
then……
He is only five years old.
Can you imagine a five-year-old child watching his father being executed and then warming him next to the body for two days and one night?
…
Yes, I want revenge.
After my lover was killed, I wanted to destroy everything.
But one thing calmed me down!
That's when I opened my husband's personal butler, and I saw the real World Destroyer!
And the secrets held by the Destroyer.
…
You are still lying to everyone, or in other words, you have no intention of telling them at all.
Because you know that even telling everyone that "Thanksgiving" exists will not help, because you have no ability to change this outcome.
But the World Destroyers have been trying to use more extreme but effective methods to reverse the situation.
…
"In what way?"
"Destroy this world." Chu Yunlan said with a smile.
Han Kongwen trembled physically and mentally. She looked at Chu Yunlan without retorting or ridiculing. She just looked at the woman in front of her silently.
Although she knew that the Chu Yunlan sitting in front of her was no longer the same woman as before, why did she overlap so perfectly with her current identity, and why did she even hesitate to suffer for her and endure the pain of this dark prison?
?
Why on earth?!
"Factor..." Han Kongwen muttered to himself.
When he heard "factor", Chu Yunlan showed an inexplicable smile. Although it was only for a moment, it was still captured by Han Kongwen.
She stood up and said: "The conditions I promised you are still valid, but I am not the one who takes you to see the world."
Saying that, Han Kongwen turned around and left the room.
Chu Yunlan looked at Han Kongwen's hurried back and said softly: "Thank you."
…
Sitting on the aircraft returning to Erub, Han Kongwen stared at the time in front of him in a daze for a while.
November 20, 149 AD
…
"You can't save everyone!"
"What's the point of such a rescue?"
These two sentences repeated in Han Kongwen's mind.
After a long time, Han Kongwen sighed deeply, looked at the world outside the window and said softly: "Asen...have you seen through all this a long time ago...that's why you left without saying goodbye?"
No one answered her, and the aircraft flew through the lonely sky and headed straight into the distance.
When Han Kongwen's aircraft was about to arrive at its destination, several aircraft hidden deep in the clouds suddenly appeared behind them at extremely fast speeds.
The moment the threat was detected, Han Kongwen's aircraft also began to accelerate and notified the Arube garrison.
Han Kongwen opened the observer and looked at the three unidentified aircraft, his eyes changing.
Then, before Han Kongwen had finished putting on his combat uniform, a warning sound sounded.
"Locked, please note, locked! Protection instructions are being executed!"
Han Kongwen was shocked.
Less than a second later, the outer defense system of Erub's dome sparked a dazzling white light.
The white light passed over Han Kongwen's aircraft.
Only a small, almost inaudible "bang" was heard in the distance, and the aircraft turned into dust and disappeared without a trace.
However, the three aircraft with unknown origins safely passed through the outermost protective system of Alub, and after turning around, they returned to the clouds and disappeared.
