The first thousand and twenty-three chapters see the old man again
What appeared before Zhong Yang was indeed a city built by the Atlantis. Whether from a technical or artistic perspective, this is not an achievement that other civilizations can counterfeit.
The gate of sub-space can still be opened in this world. This is indeed good news for the current situation, which means that once the situation deteriorates, Zhong Yang will be able to mobilize all the military forces in the Eternal Capital. He believes that no matter what, he can get what he wants...
This city gave Zhong Yang a very strange feeling. It maintained a normal operation but had no life.
"President, look!" Zhou Zhihao pointed to three disc-shaped aircraft that were constantly approaching here in the distance, "The people inside have discovered us."
The distance of 1,500 meters, the other party arrived in a blink of an eye.
A disc-like aircraft has a wider and thicker core than the edge, and should be the cockpit.
A window is opened at the front of the flying saucer, and then colorful light is projected out. The laser lights vary in length, forming a very three-dimensional image.
Zhong Yang is most familiar with this image and the subsequent sound of words.
"Finally, you found this place, Zhong Yang."
"It's you!" Zhong Yang also had a rare shock on his face. He couldn't believe that after all the hardships, he found this place and found that it was a game set by someone else.
"Se, you knew I would have come back here if I had known!?" Zhong Yang was facing the maker of the smart factory, the guy who claimed to be a god.
"How could I expect such a thing? It's just that this is the test site that was once. Although the plan failed, I still hope to keep it as a souvenir." The phantom that appeared in front of everyone was blurred. Only the figure of a human being could be vaguely seen. The voice of Seur, like the wind blowing in the wilderness, filled the surrounding land.
"Failure? Experiment?" Zhong Yang always felt that this was related to the destruction of Atlantis, but he couldn't tell the reason.
"Yes, the earth was once a test site for the gods to cultivate different civilizations. I once told you that God uses culture and knowledge as food. We spread culture, cultivate civilization, and dominate the rise and fall of one or several intelligent races in order to absorb new power from the thoughts and spirit of intelligent life to strengthen our immortality."
"Then, why did the Atlantis civilization be destroyed? Why did the ancient wise civilizations that were more advanced than us disappear one by one?" Zhong Yang felt a coldness behind him and rushed straight to the back of his head along his spine. If it was true that the human world and civilization were allowed to be judged by God as stated in the Bible, it would be terrible.
"Hahaha." Unexpectedly, when facing Zhong Yang's question, the voice in the void laughed loudly, "Sure enough, I always ask the same question."
"If you want to know the answer, just enter the center of the city alone. I will be waiting for you there." This voice appeared in Zhong Yang's mind. Even Zhou Zhihao, who was close at hand, was not aware of it. He was still observing the surrounding environment vigilantly and was cautious.
"You stay here, I'll go in alone." After saying that, ignoring everyone's opinions, Zhong Yang directly boarded one of the disc-shaped aircraft and flew towards the center of the city.
Compared to looking out from a distance just now, Zhong Yang is now located above the entire city, so he can see it more clearly.
Although this huge city with the crystallization of Atlantis civilization still has a strong artistic atmosphere, Zhong Yang can actually see that the whole city reveals stereotypes and silence.
Like huge factories, those mobile "crowds" are not humans at all, but intelligent machinery.
The butterfly aircraft was very small and could only squeeze Zhong Yang. In the cockpit, in the circular tray directly in front of him, Se's figure appeared again, "Look carefully, is there any difference between this place and the civilization you have seen?"
"Civilization?" Zhong Yang looked at the surrounding streets. He was now walking through two towering stone towers and said hesitantly: "This is also called civilization? There are no living organisms here. What I saw are just machines without emotions and self-will."
"They are indeed machines, but you say they are not life and have no emotions, which is not accurate." Se's voice was still melodious and steady. "They have their own will and faith. The only difference is that they are not organic living organisms. The world is so broad that humans' definition of life is too narrow, at least for the gods who are transcendent above the world, it is too shallow."
Zhong Yang didn't intend to argue with the other party about these things, he asked, "What do you want to do if you bring me here."
"It's not that I brought you here, but that you found this place yourself." Se corrected the mistake in Zhong Yang's words, and then smiled: "Didn't you keep asking why smart factories have so many restrictions on users? Here is the answer."
"The answer?" Zhong Yang became even more confused. He couldn't guess Se's thoughts.
"Yes, the answer." Se affirmed, "This city still retains its original design style, which you should be able to feel."
The Atlantis civilization was not only famous for its powerful technology, but also its culture and art were the pinnacle of the infinite yearning for the entire civilization world at that time.
"Come on, keep moving forward, I'm waiting for your arrival in the Central Energy Institute of the Sun Palace."
The Palace of Sun is located at the core of Poseidia. It is better to say that it is a super-large energy central system.
What is striking is that the pyramid is filled with strange eyes, and there are seven mysterious patterns in the pupils of the eyes, and energy flows continuously, emitting faint light waves.
Around this pyramid are four transparent cylinders, made of pure and transparent glass.
On the front of the pyramid, there is a small palace, that is, the Sun Palace.
The reason why it is said to be small is that compared with the pyramid behind it, but in fact, the Sun Palace is a square with a length of 500 meters. Twelve stone pillars are arranged on both sides, supporting a flat triangular roof and on the steps in front of the palace. The sun is carved.
The UFO docked in the open space, and then Zhong Yang walked down and observed the place carefully.
The Sun Palace is much larger than imagined, and it is simply the size of a large track and field field.
Only in front of the temple that is two hundred meters high can humans truly feel their insignificance and are also full of awe of God.
This is not shameful, and awe does not mean surrender or fear. It is a kind of etiquette.
Se, this existence who claims to be a god, finally stood in front of Zhong Yang for the first time, and this was also the first time the two met in the true sense.
"First meeting. The great immortal." Zhong Yang was just a demigod, so of course he had to tribute first.
What appeared in front of him was a very ordinary human, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a strange white robe with an oriental face. Zhong Yang felt the power of a mountain and a sea from the other person. This was definitely the true god.
"For so many years, you are the first human being to complete the test and become a demigod, congratulations." After returning the gift, Sere smiled and praised, "Don't be confused by the illusion of power and wealth. You have the potential to become a true god, but the test is not over."
Turning around, Se invited Zhong Yang to enter the magnificent and majestic Sun Palace. "This is not the real Posedia, but my imitation, but as you can see, from the appearance alone, it is no different from the real one."
Zhong Yang read all the way and agreed with Se's words. Some special places even showed the artistic charm of the former Atlantis civilization, almost as fake as real.
But fakes are fakes after all. The reason why art is called a work of art is because it embodies the emotions and souls of the art creators. Without these, they will always be fakes.
"I think you should also see that smart factories are made here."
After hearing Se's words, Zhong Yang also said: "No wonder, I am familiar with the core of the energy system with magnetic oval as the core."
Energy collectors that can produce standard energy are actually reduced versions of magnetic oval. They are nothing more than upgrading the function of absorbing sunlight into a device that can absorb other cosmic radiation energy, which is essentially the same thing.
"This place is like a huge factory, producing huge wealth every moment." Se stood in a square cabinet of money, pointed to the holographic projection of Poseidia City that appeared on it, explaining to Zhong Yang the operation state of the entire city. "In addition to grain, the industrial output here can provide consumption of 300 million people. And here, only four million humans live."
Under the holographic projection, every corner of the city can be enlarged and reduced according to the needs of the user, so you can stand here and look at the whole city and see everything.
Zhong Yang looked at it for a while and had to ask questions: "Do you call these machines humans?"
There is no creature in the city, all of which are all robots, but they live normally like ordinary humans.
Of course, in terms of energy intake, they clearly met the universal standard of Buddhism - not killing.
These robots are truly not killing animals. They not only do not eat meat, but also do not eat vegetarian food. They absorb electricity converted from solar energy.
According to Se, these mechanical components have self-will and are not controlled by fixed procedures.
After observation, Zhong Yang also affirmed this statement. He saw the conversation between these machines with his own eyes. Although he could not see their facial expressions, he could clearly hear the fluctuations in his emotions from the tone of the conversation.
"A machine with wisdom, what do you want to explain to me?" Zhong Yang turned around and asked Se.
"This is also a subspace, and I have made it into the carrier of a smart factory and handed it over to a human. There are so many places where God can conduct experiments in countless parallel spaces and spaces. I am not suitable for you as you said, you are not the only lucky person."
Ignoring Zhong Yang's surprise, Se said to himself: "But humans always like to mess up what they could have done. God's investment often leads to nothing. Mechanical and technological civilization has also appeared in the long history of the earth, and many civilizations from alien galaxies occasionally bring some different scientific and technological achievements."
"For example, the magnetic oval stone and mechanical technology brought by the Orion galaxy immigrants?" Zhong Yang couldn't help asking.
"Well, that's right. The technical core of the 'Yuan Jiao' you have is mainly brought by alien immigrants in the Atlantis era." Se said, "What do you think is the development model of civilization?"
This is the exam. Zhong Yang was originally a human being selected by Se. All his power was obtained from Se at the beginning, and it was natural to accept the other party's test.
"The development model of civilization, simply put, only survival and prosperity." Zhong Yang was not afraid. "The prerequisite for any civilization is to be based on survival. Even survival cannot be guaranteed. Then there is no value of existence, because it cannot resist disasters, like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time."
Speaking of this, Zhong Yang remembered the current situation of the mermaid clan.
Mermaids claim to be the successors of Atlantis civilization, and they do, like their ancestors, have achieved extremely high achievements in the evolution of life.
But Zhong Yang did not think that this was a progress of civilization, but instead regressed, just like Zhong Yang did not agree with Buddhist culture. He was not optimistic about the civilization model of the mermaid clan.
Without abundant material resources as support, even if the individual living itself evolves and the spirit and soul are sublimated, what is the significance in the real world?
The entire mermaid tribe is on the verge of hunger. It is even possible that a disaster can put them in the desperate situation of extermination. How can such a civilization be commended?
The same is true for Buddhism. It does not focus on the development of material civilization. It is really too ambitious to advocate the spiritual first civilization development model. You can’t eat enough food and don’t wear warm clothes. What kind of practice can you practice and become a Buddha?
"Yes, civilization must be able to survive and resist a certain degree of danger. This is the foundation." Se also agreed with Zhong Yang's statement, but then he turned to ask: "But is it enough as long as there is rich material wealth?"
"Of course not enough!" Zhong Yang answered bluntly, "After the problem of survival is solved, what civilization needs is continuous prosperity and continuous progress in prosperity."
"But the former Atlantis, they had an amazing prosperity, but they still fell and were buried deep in the ocean." Se's smile was playful, as if he wanted to see what Zhong Yang answered.
"They just possess prosperity, but forget glory, and fell in endless vanity and greed." Zhong Yang clearly remembered that Atlantis was destroyed in their own hands, and the fanatical and uncontrollable scientific research eventually led to the end of destroying the world.
"Civilization must have an inner cultural heritage, so that after infinite material wealth is created, human beings will not fall into depravity because of emptiness and superficiality. After the problem of survival is solved, it is not a problem. The problem lies in what path will human beings pursue after solving the problem of survival. Civilizations that are not enterprising because of satisfaction will eventually be destroyed in disaster."
Zhong Yang scoffed at the Buddhist theory of the rise and fall of the world. The world itself is not a peaceful and peaceful paradise, and there is no natural disaster.
The development of civilization cannot solve problems by praying for blessings and eliminating disasters. Only by constantly improving can human beings resist more disasters. Instead of doing self-salvation when the disaster of heaven and earth comes.
"The existence of civilization itself always has infinite possibilities, and the universe is the same. Therefore, the world is not always safe, and disasters will come at no time." When Se heard this, he applauded Zhong Yang's opinion: "God never brought disasters to the human world. Most of the time, human beings themselves cannot resist the harm from nature. As you can see, once they no longer make progress, they cannot resist greater disasters, and it is only a matter of time to destruction."
There has always been not many worlds that can last forever in the endless years.
On the earth alone, over billions of years, I don’t know how many civilizations have been destroyed. Gods also fall, let alone civilizations established by mortals.
"Every civilization faces different choices. When choosing the future path, most civilizations will encounter a problem." Se is a god who transcends civilization. He looks down on the top of it, so he has witnessed many things. "To describe it in the words of Chinese civilization, it is like a leaf blocking its eyes and not seeing Mount Tai."
"A leaf blocks my eyes and cannot see Mount Tai!"
"Yes, I found a path and then gave up on the other paths."
Se's words reminded Zhong Yang of the current earth civilization, the discovery of coal and oil, and led humans to enter a civilization model of large-scale utilization of chemical energy.
Therefore, humans have ignored the research on other ways of obtaining energy, and even some vested interest organizations do not allow the emergence of new energy at all, because it will block their financial path.
However, the even more terrifying thing is what Se said next.
"The mechanical living organisms living here were originally humans, but in the process of civilization development, they abandoned the organic life forms and gradually became what they are now." Se said, pointing to the moving figure in the holographic projection image.
"You see, in terms of strength, this should belong to an evolution. Of course, the cost is quite high, and the development potential of mechanical life forms is different from that of organic life forms."
When Zhong Yang heard this, he felt creepy: "How could they volunteer to become machines?"
"Of course you can't accept it now, but what about ten years and twenty years, one hundred years? When robots have more advantages in survival and development than humans, you may have to accept it. The will of intelligent living organisms is always easy to shake, especially in the face of visible benefits."
Looking at the facts in front of him, Zhong Yang had to admit that Se's words were very convincing.
