I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1059 Continuation
After the last human disappeared, the hotel's cleaning mechanism came into play and cleaned up the body lying on the ground completely.

Looking at the empty cockpit, the Robot Savior realized that the humans in this world have completely disappeared. From then on, the name "human" has become history in this world.

But as the last human said, the story of mankind is not over yet...

After adjusting his somewhat lonely mood, the Robot Savior controlled the spacecraft, turned around, and flew towards the earth.

The starting point in the route map became the end point. Now he wanted to let the entire spacecraft cross the vast universe and return to the place where it first set sail.

This journey will take a long time, and the machine savior doesn't know if there will be any accidents during this period. He can only try his best to complete the request of the last human being and do the last thing for the human beings in this world...

Stars twinkled outside the glass window. The spaceship passed through the densely populated area of ​​galaxies and entered the desolate area. The surrounding starlight gradually disappeared, leaving only an endless darkness. The machine savior was driving the spaceship while thinking about the words said by the last human. However, he had not been instilled with human emotions, so he still could not understand the obsession of returning home.

In his view, life is gone, and that is it. The brain's activities gradually stop, and the cells die one by one, turning into a mass of matter that can never wake up. The mass of matter then slowly disperses and drifts throughout the world...

The so-called inheritance is not the inheritance itself, but only some illusory "spirit".

Even if the mark carved on the stone is indelible, the person who carved the mark has long disappeared. The carbon atoms in his body were carried away by the wind and blown to other places. Some fell into the soil, and some floated to the sea. In this empty world, what is the use of the mark on the stone?
The world is material. Even if there are inheritors who can remember human history, humans are already history. For humans, this has no meaning.

After traveling in space for a long time, the machine savior still hasn't figured it out completely.

His thoughts jumped from the inheritance of human civilization to the continuation of life...

Life begins with a single-celled organism, and its purpose is to continue to perpetuate itself.

Continuously dividing, continuously evolving, becoming more and more numerous, becoming more and more complex, all for the purpose of passing on that genetic material.

Genetic Material pilots a Gundam named "Cell".

Cell is also piloting a Gundam called "Lifeform".

The Gundam keeps changing, but the pilot never changes.

After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the Gundams have been replaced again and again, becoming more and more numerous and more and more complex, but the driver is still the same driver from hundreds of millions of years ago, but he has grown a lot.

To be honest, humans are just a series of relatively excellent Gundams. They are driven by their pilots to perform actions that constantly strengthen themselves. Gundams have developed their own consciousness, but in essence, this consciousness is also guided by the pilots, and their thoughts and ideas cannot escape the pilots' control.

The machine savior uses machine logic to understand humans, and becomes increasingly confused.

Gundam wants to return to his original home?

Why is this?

When the Gundam is gone and the pilot inside is gone, the so-called continuation becomes empty talk. Even the original purpose of life cannot be carried out. Why are people still obsessed with "going home"?

……

The spaceship passed through the wasteland and arrived at a familiar galaxy.

The machine savior saw a brilliant galaxy that existed only in memory data. It was called the Milky Way Belt, which was actually a cross-section of the entire galactic belt. A huge vortex of star clusters rotated in the darkness, like a cell suspended in the ocean of matter. The galactic center was the nucleus of the entire Milky Way, and the cytoplasm was filled with countless stars, filling the entire cell with shining light. The end of this journey was on the inner side of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. The "home" that humans had been thinking about was just one of the countless shining stardusts. It was even difficult to see clearly. Only the sun emitting gentle light could be vaguely seen. Against the backdrop of other huge stars, the sun looked dim and ordinary, without a single feature.

Looking at this group of "galactic cells", a question emerged in the data stream of the Machine Savior:
“What is the definition of life?”

If what can "continue" is life, then is the Milky Way in front of us also considered a life?

The so-called cells are just a way of "continuation".

Machines like him can continue to exist without the help of cells.

Strictly speaking, he is also a life, a mechanical life.

The waiters on the spaceship are also mechanical life forms.

"And those abyssal creatures, atmospheric life, magma life, soil life, metal life..."

As long as it can exist in a stable form, no matter what monomers it is made of, it seems to be called life, but cells are relatively stable.

The Milky Way before us, which is composed of countless "star monomers", can indeed be called "life".

At this moment, the machine savior has a new insight into life.

There is no knowledge about the definition of life in his database. These are the results of his own thinking. The machine savior who has been carrying out tasks for others has gradually developed many ideas of his own during this lonely journey.

After breaking through the shackles of thought and gaining a new understanding of life, he began to recall the words that the last human said to him, and at the same time he had completely different thoughts...

"Traces, are they also considered a kind of life?"

As long as it can continue, there is no need to stick to the form?

When humans are replaced by machines, fungi, or any other creatures, as long as they carry the "traces" of humans, does that count as "continuation"?
Traces are also life...

Language is life...

History is life...

Thinking is life...

As long as there is a connection anywhere, will human life continue?
Millions of years after humans disappeared, other creatures set foot on the land where humans once lived. These creatures will also travel through endless years and connect with past humans, becoming the medium for the continuation of "humanity", or in other words, becoming "humanity" itself?
Thinking of this, the machine savior suddenly felt an unreasonable fear.

He once thought that human beings were fragile life forms, but now he had a completely different view.

At the same moment of fear, he began to doubt the savior who had left him behind as never before...

“Perhaps, humans don’t need to be saved at all.”
