To Four Thousand Years Later - v6 Chapter 24

Just do your best to survive.

Gabriel was deeply shocked by this kind of natural spirit, this tenacious and beautiful way of life, which is taken for granted. Born in the 22nd century, he couldn’t understand the difficulty of “surviving”. For them, eternal life is a matter of course. People are born and must die. This is like more than two hundred years ago. People don’t think that hunger and thirst are the same thing. Unless they are actively seeking stimulation, or they are really lazy and unwilling to work, under normal circumstances, no one in the world will die of starvation or thirst. As far as the resources of the earth are concerned, there is no difficulty in maintaining normal basic necessities of life. And it’s the same now. The souls of people are completely merged, internal wars are completely eliminated, the will of people all over the world is twisted into one rope, and the hearts and minds are directed to one place, and the world ushers in great harmony.

After that, humans gained the ability to be reincarnated. In the beginning… people were a little scared about it. This kind of big event, even a hundred years ago, would definitely usher in a monstrous wave of opposition from all over the world. Even if they don’t know how it can be done, they also know that if people can be resurrected after death, they will definitely enjoy it. to great advantage, but the mere fact that “they don’t know about it” is reason enough for them to question it.

People reject what they don’t understand. This is an instinct of self-preservation, and Forty-two has no intention of erasing this nature.

So he chose to let people come and know for themselves.

Facts have proved that people’s dullness, prejudice, arrogance, and radicality are often not because they know too much, or because they have original sin in their souls, their lives are incurable, and their human nature is depraved and dusty, but because they know too little. Individual best interests do not always equal collective best interests. Even if the two parties cooperate mutually beneficially at the beginning, such cooperation will not always persist until the end. Therefore, out of self-interest considerations, rational people must choose to betray the collective at a certain step—without considering the consequences. It’s always easier than collaborating.

When everyone does not know whether the other party will betray him or not, the cooperation between rational people often does not hope for mutual benefit and win-win, but hopes that the other party will not betray themselves.

In other words, when the other party’s betrayal can no longer hurt him, the “reasonable person” will immediately betray his former collaborator. Because he couldn’t be sure whether the other party would betray him in the future, and the Mind Tower completely eliminated this possibility. Although its function is to allow everyone to understand each other and prevent power from being wasted, its essence is indeed a constraint.

Because if the two parties need to cooperate, then they must maintain an exchange of thinking, so that work efficiency can be greatly improved. In the case of mutual thinking, supervision becomes transparent, and the difficulty of betrayal immediately rises to the limit. Everyone knows that if they decide to defect, all their collaborators will know about it immediately. And if this matter gets out, he will be rejected by everyone. In this era, the betrayers have become a minority instead. Even if they think about it this way, their collaborators may find out. Even if you don’t take the initiative to fight back because you didn’t do anything, your self-evaluation will be lowered.

If you want to be a popular person in the world, you must become pure, kind, positive and powerful from the heart. They have to be for others from the heart, and if they want to think about the collective, they have to make themselves people who can be liked by everyone. Because in this era, “goodness” is no longer an unknown and unmeasurable morality that is urgently hidden in people’s hearts, but has become a part of everyone’s social business card. Good deeds will no longer be unknown to others, and kindness has truly become another face. Even utilitarian goodness will be discovered by others. Therefore, in order to allow themselves to survive better in this new generation, everyone must truly realize that this is the natural choice of the new generation. This is the worldview of the Golden Seed.

On the other hand, in order to live in the new society, people must become powerful and pure inside. This will greatly strengthen their psychic powers, just like the great sages hundreds of years ago, they already have a level of knowledge and thinking far beyond that of the great sages of that era, and they will naturally have stronger spiritual powers than that. can. These powerful psionic energy will be collected and used to strengthen civilization. And as everyone’s psychic power becomes stronger and the number of human beings gradually increases, they can explore farther, the force of the planet will also grow, and the speed of scientific and technological research will gradually increase. Even if they walk on the road of peace and light, they will never be weak lambs. Even foreigners, as long as their thinking is connected to the giant tower of the mind, they will be purified by the pure goodwill of those tens of billions of powerful psykers. survive in civilization.

Even if they encounter enemies from aliens in the galaxy, psykers only need to open their hearts to the enemies. Yes, they don’t even need to capture the enemies, imprison them, or even take them away. No intelligent creature can reject this pure and increasingly powerful immersion of goodwill and reject the warmth, reason and tolerance from others. They will directly become allies of the golden humans and look for opportunities to return to their territories.

In a sense, this can be regarded as an instant death attack. And as the civilizations they assimilate gradually increase. People from different worlds and civilizations will greatly increase the power of these tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even more psykers, and subsequently make this influence also greatly Ascension. This is an infinite upward spiral. Unless the minds of tens of billions of psykers are instantly polluted with the evil of one person, it will only increase their power infinitely.

This is the way of the holy and good. This is also Zheng Fu’s choice.

There is no need to abandon the form, and progress does not require the destruction of oneself or civilization. Although he hasn’t degenerated into Dusk yet, it doesn’t mean that he can’t imitate and learn from Dusk’s innate human talent to imitate.

People imitate the shape of fish to build boats, imitate the wings of birds to make aircraft, imitate electric fish to make voltaic batteries, imitate sawgrass to make saws, and imitate eggshells to optimize buildings. They can even imitate humans to make perceptrons, robots and artificial intelligence. Then, why can’t human beings rationally imitate and learn the expansion method of the twilight species?

The wise men among them can even make a set of formulas to obtain the “trust index” and “infection index”, and then launch the “infinite good iteration formula”. As long as the plan is implemented step by step according to the calculation results, the golden human will become the only “twilight” that can survive in the material world in the end. So here comes the problem.

Since, according to calculations, it is impossible for human beings to resist the influence of “tens of billions of goodness”, where did the first “hermit” come from?

There is only one answer.

“Yes, the first hermits came from here, the bionics from Moon City.”

Abaddon said in a low voice: “The ones who betrayed his father in the end were the group of criminals he pitied the most. They didn’t make any mistakes, but they were born sinful because they were born decades earlier, so my father didn’t choose to destroy them, Instead, they gave them a burial place where they could die peacefully and contentedly with compassion.”

“But among this group of bionic people, this group of people who don’t even have human brains, have the most positive attitude towards life and the most despicable ‘hermits’.”

“As my father said, maybe they are the real ‘human beings’.”
