Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1232 Alien World (144)

"No matter what you think, no matter how you operate, I will not be with you. I only hope that the original ecology here can be fully protected, instead of being developed by humans like the Hallelujah continent we live in. It's riddled with holes."

As a scientist with a conscience, Lima Oda always maintains a caring heart for all living things in her heart. The hallelujah star has been over-exploited, and many species are disappearing. This is not what she wants to see .

"Don't worry, Professor Lima Oda, you will see my efforts, and you must be interested in joining our plan." Bridge Morgan was not in a hurry, he was full of confidence in his plan.

Pang Xiaonan and Wu Yongqiang came out of the woods with firewood in their arms. Seeing Lima Xiaotian and Bridge Morgan talking happily, Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but joked: "What are you two talking about? It's not about marriage, is it?" ?”

"We're talking about lofty ideals." Pang Xiaonan was an indispensable part of Bridge Morgan's plan, so he was full of affection for Pang Xiaonan, and stood up to help him carry firewood.

Several people piled up the firewood in a hurry, and Pang Xiaonan finally lit the fire after exhausting all his efforts.

The sky was completely dark, and the raging fires lit up the area by the lake, warming the air again.

"Won't dinosaurs attack us at night?" Wu Yongqiang is very concerned about his own safety. Since there are dinosaurs here, it means that there must be carnivorous animals.

"Don't be afraid, no matter how fierce dinosaurs are, they should also be afraid of fire." Pang Xiaonan has no doubts about the power of fire, even animals as ferocious as hungry wolves are afraid of fire.

"Don't be too confident," Oda Lima was glad that Pang Xiaonan came back in time. She didn't want to stay with Bridge Morgan and discuss his plan to destroy the ecology. At this moment, she was already by Pang Xiaonan's side, " With just such a pile of fire, a bigger dinosaur would have stamped it out with one foot."

"Can you say something nice?" Pang Xiaonan looked at Oda Lima dissatisfied, and already picked up a branch in his hand and passed it through the rabbit, "It seems that stepping on this fire will do you any good?"

"I'm telling you to stay vigilant, don't be too optimistic, and don't be paralyzed by the peaceful scene in front of you." Oda Lima added a piece of firewood to the fire.

"Hey, it would be great if I brought some seasoning." Pang Xiaonan watched the red flames sizzling on the rabbit, and remembered his cooking skills in the past. The seasoning is even more fragrant."

"Forget it, even if you bring seasoning with you, it won't work long ago." Wu Yongqiang interrupted Pang Xiaonan's fantasy with another blunt sentence.

That's right, a few people were in danger crossing mountains and crossing rivers. Even if they had brought the seasoning on their bodies, it would have been spilled or wet.

Soon, the smell of rabbit meat wafted into the air. Wu Yongqiang took a deep breath of the scented air, and his stomach began to growl unconsciously.

"Do you think this fragrance will attract monsters?" Pang Xiaonan asked Oda Lima beside him.

Oda Lima shivered, and then punched Pang Xiaonan, "Let you scare me!"

The surrounding sky was dark, only the stars in the sky shed silver-white dim brilliance, even with the firelight against it, the whole environment still looked quiet and terrifying.

Finally, the rabbit was cooked, the skin was golden yellow, oozing crystal clear fat, dripping on the flames and crackling, Wu Yongqiang stared at the golden roasted rabbit, his eyes glowed green, and he swallowed involuntarily saliva.

Pang Xiaonan took back the branch, handed it to Wu Yongqiang, and said, "Seeing how greedy you are, I'll share it with you."

"No problem!" Wu Yongqiang drew the field saber from his lap, and quickly cut up the rabbit meat.

"Such a good meal, if only I could have a glass of wine." Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but think of the scene of having a drink with Mr. Wang. Although it didn't take long, but in the environment of New Blossom, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

"Why, you still drink." Oda Lima stared at Wu Yongqiang's sword skills, but chatted with Pang Xiaonan.

"Which hero doesn't drink?" Pang Xiaonan cited classics, "Wu Song killed a tiger with seven bowls of wine. If I drink some wine, that dinosaur is called Brachiosaurus, and I can kill it too."

"Stop bragging, that's Brachiosaurus." Oda Lima snorted coldly, "It's like an iron wall in front of you, and if it wants to trample you to death, it's as easy as trampling an ant to death."

"Come on, ladies first!" Wu Yongqiang generously handed a rabbit leg to Oda Lima, but he didn't expect to eat it first at this critical moment.

Oda Lima took the rabbit leg, and started to eat Teken without any scruples. After fleeing for a day, she was really hungry, especially the roasted rabbit meat was really delicious.

Then, Wu Yongqiang handed a rabbit leg to Bridge Morgan and said: "Mr. Bridge Morgan, come, you also eat a hind leg."

"Thank you." Bridge Morgan took the rabbit leg, but he was not as impatient as Oda Lima, but tore the muscle fibers of the rabbit leg with small bites, and then chewed carefully, fully tasting the simple game.A nobleman has been well-educated from his usual gestures and gestures, and will maintain his demeanor no matter how hungry he is.

Then, Wu Yongqiang cut off a front leg, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, then handed the rest of the rabbit to Pang Xiaonan, saying: "I won't serve you anymore, you can do what you want."

"You guy, I roasted the rabbit and found the firewood. What's wrong with you serving me, ah, what's the matter?" Pang Xiaonan couldn't understand Wu Yongqiang's attitude of valuing sex over friends and wealth over righteousness. What the hell, pay respect to the beauties and the boss, and forget about his teammate who has carried the gun together.

"I also found firewood!" Wu Yongqiang didn't care about Pang Xiaonan's opinion, and retorted, "You are a big living person, and the martial arts of the black mamba escort team is the best, and you need someone to serve you. Are you embarrassed? Are you willing to serve? I'm too embarrassed to serve you, so you can end it yourself."

Pang Xiaonan grabbed the rest of the rabbit meat, cut off a piece of tenderloin with a knife, squinted his eyes, and said to Wu Yongqiang: "Come by yourself, the leg you cut is all dead meat, how can I cut it off?" The tenderloin cut is delicious."

Several people gnawed for a long time with their mouths full of oil, and even finished eating the whole rabbit.

Pang Xiaonan touched his swollen belly, lay down on the ground with difficulty, and said lazily: "It can't be done, I'm full, I have to take a rest."

Wu Yongqiang also fell to the ground, hiccupped, and said: "Our combat power is too strong, and we actually killed such a big rabbit..."

"I was thinking, how happy are other people guarding those dozens of rabbits..." Pang Xiaonan thought of the rabbits all over the mountains and plains, and the rest of them would not starve to death even if they guarded there for a few days.

"I don't think so," Oda Lima's stomach seemed to be pregnant for several months. She lay down with her head facing Pang Xiaonan, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with emotion: "Eating rabbits every day, I'm afraid I will also eat rabbits." Annoyed, I don't think they can persist for a few days, no, probably not for two days, and they will stay away from the smell of rabbits."

"Yes, although this rabbit meat is delicious, it still has a bit of a nasty taste. I'm afraid you'll vomit if you eat it too often." Wu Yongqiang commented on the taste of the rabbit, which made several people vomit.

Pang Xiaonan kicked over and said: "Don't make a sound, okay, you will spit out the food you just ate, don't ask too much, some food is good, and you are picky. "

"Hey, do you think there are any fish in this lake?" Wu Yongqiang looked at the dark water surface and suddenly asked a question.

"The rabbit you just ate, don't you want to eat grilled fish again?" Pang Xiaonan is the one who knows Wu Yongqiang.

"I can't eat much today, but tomorrow's breakfast, you can think about it." Wu Yongqiang winked at Pang Xiaonan, no matter how cheap he looked.

"You can think about it. You get up early tomorrow and go into the water to touch the fish. I will wait for you to catch the fish and grill the fish for you." Pang Xiaonan is no fool, he dug a hole for Wu Yongqiang to jump into.

"Hey, you are shirking responsibility," Wu Yongqiang reacted and began to counterattack, "For the few of us, you are the best in terms of kung fu. You can fight mosasaurs in the sea. The creatures in this lake are definitely not your opponents. , but I am different, my water skills are not as good as yours, my kung fu is not as good as yours, if I encounter some monsters in the water, I am afraid that I will die in this water area, can you bear it, can you bear to watch Is your teammate floating on the water, so lonely..."

"Fuck you," Pang Xiaonan kicked over again, "Don't make yourself so miserable, I don't think you can float up, you should be buried in the belly of the fish and turned into a part of the fish's body..."

"You guy, can you be more vicious, if you have the ability to be more vicious..." Wu Yongqiang also stretched out his foot to kick Pang Xiaonan, but Pang Xiaonan turned around and avoided it.

Two people swearing and fighting are a way to promote digestion.

Oda Lima watched the two fooling around, and couldn't help feeling warm.

The flames were beating, and the air was full of pleasant smells. Pang Xiaonan was a little sleepy. He sat up from the ground and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early. Wu Yongqiang and I will work separately. Watch for the first half of the night, and Wu Yongqiang for the second half of the night, Professor Rima Oda and Mr. Bridge Morgan, you can rest assured to sleep, there is still a long way to go tomorrow, so keep your energy up."

Pang Xiaonan never let down his vigilance at any time, especially this four-person team, as Wu Yongqiang said, he is actually at the helm, and he cannot let his teammates make any mistakes.

"Okay, that's it. I'll go to sleep first, and I'll leave this place to you." Wu Yongqiang also fell asleep a long time ago. If he is full and warm, he just wants to fall asleep. If it weren't for Pang Xiaonan's explanation, he would almost fall asleep caught.

Bridge Morgan was also very tired. The battle with the killer bee during the day consumed too much energy and he walked so far. Now his stomach is so full that he has no energy to speak, so he squinted his eyes. He closed his eyes, began to doze off, and soon fell asleep.

But Rima Oda couldn't sleep.

If Lima Oda was excited by the discovery of so many prehistoric beasts before, then the dinosaurs discovered today have made Lima Oda out of cognition, because the appearance of dinosaurs has really hammered the prehistoric status of New Blossom, and, Unlike previous prehistoric giants, dinosaurs appeared in groups, expressing stronger evidence.

This is a world-shattering discovery, and it will keep her up at night more than any award Rima has received before.

Oda Lima quietly sat beside Pang Xiaonan, and asked, "Why aren't you tired? I see you haven't slept well for several days."

"I, I am the youngest, so my endurance is the best." Pang Xiaonan actually absorbed the dark matter in the air when he was meditating. No one believed it, so I could only pretend to be young.

"Are you also very excited about the discovery of dinosaurs?" Lima Xiaotian thought that Pang Xiaonan was also awake at night because of this discovery.

"Yeah." Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "I'm a little excited. If I can shoot a movie here in the future, it will be realistic. But if it's real, I'm afraid those dinosaurs won't cooperate."

Pang Xiaonan has watched several sci-fi films, and the dinosaurs in them are very realistic, but no matter how realistic they are, they are not real.

"You men, why do you always think the same?" Oda Lima was a little disappointed, "Bridge Morgan was thinking about how to develop this place, but you are lucky, thinking of making movies."

"I'm just making an analogy. In fact, I think it's the best choice to keep the original flavor here." Pang Xiaonan looked at the dancing flames, a little lost in thought.

"You really think so?" Oda Lima finally found her bosom friend.

Pang Xiaonan nodded, and said: "I always feel that there must be some secret to maintain such a complete ecology here. It's not as simple as we see it. I think there are artificial elements in it."

Pang Xiaonan blinked, then looked at Oda Lima and added: "No, it's not man-made. Humans don't have such a great ability. It should be an act of God, or a civilization that is a level higher than ours."

Reminiscent of the fact that the entire Blossom disk is shielded by a protective cover, and the creatures inside are all prehistoric creatures, Pang Xiaonan can't help but suspect that there is some kind of power deliberately preserving so many disappeared species in New Blossom.

It's as if humans built a zoo, or a national conservation park, just to protect certain species that are about to disappear, and in New Blossoms, it seems to preserve all the species of the entire Hallelujah planet from the beginning of life, except Those species that are not uncommon in the hallelujah continent are all here.

"According to what you said, we humans are actually a kind of animal studied by this advanced civilization." Oda Lima's divergent thinking is not inferior to Pang Xiaonan, which is the foundation of her becoming a famous scientist.

"It's possible. Don't forget, in myths and stories, who created us humans." Pang Xiaonan still has a good understanding of ancient myths and legends. It is said that humans are made of mud by their ancestors.

"It's like we created robots, but we were created by a higher civilization than us." Lima Xiaotian felt more and more sympathetic with Pang Xiaonan's hypothesis.

"Have you heard the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?" Pang Xiaonan suddenly thought of an ancient story.

"It seems to say that Zhuangzi found out that he had turned into a butterfly in his dream. After waking up, she was confused. He didn't know whether he was a butterfly or a person." As a scientist, Lima Oda certainly knew this famous story .

"It seems that you still know something about Taoism. This story is roughly like this." Because of his cultivation, Pang Xiaonan is very familiar with all the legends of Taoism, because these principles will help him in his cultivation. "In the past, Zhuangzi He dreamed that he became a butterfly, a very vivid and lifelike butterfly, how happy and comfortable he felt! But he did not know that he was originally Zhuang Zhou. Suddenly he woke up, and he realized that I was Zhuang Zhou in a panic. So he doubted whether it was Zhuang Zhou who became a butterfly in his dream, or a butterfly who became Zhuang Zhou in his dream? There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and a butterfly. This can be called the mating and transformation of crops and me.”

"It's too profound," Lima Oda shook her head. "Philosophy is more complicated than science. I sometimes don't understand it."

"Philosophy and science are several levels behind. I don't know if you have heard of this theory." Pang Xiaonan thought for a while before recalling the complete theory. "Above science is literature, and above literature is aesthetics. It is philosophy, and there is another level above philosophy, which is metaphysics."

"There is another level above metaphysics," Oda Lima obviously had heard of this theory, and added, "Above metaphysics is theology."

"That's right," Pang Xiaonan nodded, "Metaphysics is close to theology. This shows that science is a very low-level philosophy, and everything that science can't explain can be classified as metaphysics. It's like you can't explain why there are so many in New Blossom." Animals of different ages coexist at the same time, maybe this is theology, an environment that only God can achieve."

"Let's go back to the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. It seems to be closer to science." Oda Lima was very interested in the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly when she was a child, but she never knew what kind of point this story wanted to express.

"In Zhuangzi's dream, he turned into a lifelike butterfly. He forgot that he was a human being. After waking up, he realized that he was still Zhuangzi. Whether it was Zhuangzi who turned into a butterfly in his dream or the butterfly who turned into Zhuangzi in his dream is really hard to tell. Here , Zhuangzi raised a philosophical question - how do people know reality. If dreams are real enough, people have no ability to know that they are dreaming."

Pang Xiaonan lay down on the ground, looking up at the stars, "This brings up a philosophical question, whether the real world is a dream, or the dream is real. In the eyes of ordinary people, what a person sees and feels when he is awake is Reality, dreams are illusions, unreal. Zhuangzi thinks otherwise. Although, waking up is one kind of state, dream is another kind of state, the two are not the same; Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou, butterfly is butterfly, both They are also different. From Zhuang Zhou's point of view, they are all just a phenomenon, a form and a stage in the Taoist movement."

Oda Lima followed Pang Xiaonan to lie on the ground, and said thoughtfully: "What this story wants to express is actually, I am not me, you are not you, I may be you, you may be me, this kind of The feeling of mystery is the real cosmic avenue studied by Taoism."

"It seems that you have also studied Taoism. In fact, I didn't understand the artistic conception of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly at first, until I watched a movie," Pang Xiaonan recalled that sci-fi movie with a very high rating and a very high box office. "The name of the movie is The Matrix."

"Well, I've seen it too." Rema Oda recalled, "It said that the software network invented by humans finally controlled human life."

"This is just part of what this movie wants to express. That is to say, the things created by us humans sometimes escape the control of humans, and finally control humans in turn. For example, many viruses are synthesized by humans, and finally accidentally leaked. Once artificial intelligence develops to the point where humans cannot control it, it is likely to control humans in turn.” Pang Xiaonan’s understanding of The Matrix was the same at the beginning.

"Then what is the meaning of what this movie wants to express?" Rima Oda is not very interested in the movie, because she has not been in a relationship for a long time, and it seems too lonely to watch a movie alone.So many movies, she just watched them wholeheartedly, purely to kill time, without any deeper understanding.

"After I read it a few times, I realized that what the Matrix wants to express is the artistic conception of Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly." Pang Xiaonan finally understood the Matrix, and he thought of Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly. Whether we live in a world created by ourselves, or in a virtual world created by machines.”

"I don't understand." Oda Lima shook her head, obviously Pang Xiaonan's science popularization ability is not enough.

"Let me give you an example. It's like the video games we played when we were young. Have you ever played video games?" Pang Xiaonan turned his head and looked at Oda Lima suspiciously. He was worried that girls would not play video games when they were young.

Oda Lima nodded and said, "I have played it, and I like to play games that pass the level, such as masturbation."

"Well, let's take playing an airplane as an example," Pang Xiaonan explained, "This airplane is a human-created character, but that airplane will think that it is real in the game. Let's change the game and take the game Romance of the Three Kingdoms. For example, the characters inside are made according to the original shape of historical characters, so these characters are controlled by the players, but the characters themselves, will they think that I am real?"

"You mean, we created the characters of the game, just like God created us." Oda Lima finally understood what Pang Xiaonan wanted to express.

"That's right." Pang Xiaonan felt that it was easy to chat with smart people. "The world we live in is like a game environment created by God. Everything we can see has already been created."

"Then why is everyone's experience different?" Lima Oda studied abroad in her early years. One of the most advocated theories in the West is that all people are born free and equal. Obviously, this is impossible.

"The characters in the game are originally set differently." Pang Xiaonan has a deep understanding of the game, because going to the game hall was his greatest pleasure when he was a child, "Look, there are heroes in the game, that is, the protagonist, and there are also villains. , more are those unknown little soldiers, so the life you can experience is actually programmed long ago.”

"This is what the Taoist thought says. Fate must be there sometimes, and there is no time to force it, isn't it?" Oda Lima vaguely remembered that this sentence was said by Taoism, but it was not exact.

"This sentence is not a theory of Taoism. All religions are similar. Destiny is predetermined. That is to say, whether you are born as a human or an ant, this is a predetermined program, and you cannot change it." Pang Xiaonan thinks The idea that man will conquer the sky is simply poisoning the living beings, how can man conquer the sky.

"Then you are fatalistic. If fate is doomed, then people don't have to think about it, just eat and drink every day and wait for God's arrangement?" Oda Lima vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong.

"No," Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "Fate is predestined, but there is another luck that you don't understand. For example, my role in the game is the hero and the protagonist, but if I don't operate well, I may be caught in the middle." The little soldier was killed, or was killed by the villain, that is, you did not clear the level in the game, you did not become the final winner, this is the luck of people, luck can be changed, how to change it depends on how you Take control of your life."

"Well, I understand a little bit what you said." Oda Lima looked at Pang Xiaonan, feeling that this guy's Taoist theory is simply unfathomable, "But no matter what, we still live within the framework set by God for us, It is impossible for you to jump out of the frame, for example, if you are a soldier in the game, even if you kill the hero, you will not be a hero, and there will be other heroes to pass the level.”

"Yes, that's right." Pang Xiaonan got up and added some firewood, then came back and continued to lie on the ground, "unless there are loopholes and flaws in this game."

"What do you mean?" Oda Lima was really fascinated by Pang Xiaonan's theoretical system.

"Just like in The Matrix, the virtual network originally created by humans should be within the scope of human control, but in the end it was out of human control. Why, it is because when humans designed this virtual network, There is no perfect design, resulting in a virtual network that surpasses human intelligence and finally breaks away from human control."

Pang Xiaonan gave another example of a real virus, "Do you still remember the new virus incident decades ago? In the end, various evidences showed that it was a test product leaked from a human laboratory. This is what people were designing this virus for." At that time, the corresponding countermeasures were not thought out, resulting in a situation out of control."

"In this way, although we are in the environment of New Blossoms now, it seems that we can escape without any certainty, but if we find a loophole, there is still a way." Lima Xiaotian listened to Pang Xiaonan's theory, and she was very concerned about the future. Started full of hope.

"No, I don't think we'd get here if God was going to kill us."
