I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1118: Insights into Life

"Mo Ling, you don't want to help them, do you?"

The router immediately guessed Mo Ling's thoughts.

Mo Ling blushed when her true feelings were touched. She wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, she nodded slowly.

He knew he couldn't hide it from the other party...

Lu Qi sighed deeply: "You can't help them."

These stones have been searching for "life" for so long, but have not found a way to truly live. Even if Mo Ling wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.

"Mo Ling, don't think about these impossible things." Lu Luqi persuaded again.

"But they are pitiful."

"There are many pitiful things in this world, and it is not your turn to spread the saintly heart. There are still many places above the abyss that are in turmoil due to war, and many people are homeless. The abyss is full of endangered species. The saintly heart that cannot be truly put into practice is useless."

"But they are right in front of us, we can't just ignore them, right?"

Not far away, the three "stone men" were frozen in place. Mo Ling could see that they were struggling to move their bodies, as if they wanted to break free from the shackles that had trapped them for hundreds of millions of years and break free from the rocks, but the reality went against their wishes. In the end, they could only do useless work under the shackles of fate.

A stone is a stone, and its essence cannot be changed.

If it is no longer hard and numb, it is no longer stone, but has become something else.

These stones seem to be "trying hard", but in fact they themselves don't know what they want to become.

Is it to become a real life?
Or will it transform into another completely new form?
Or do you simply want to have thoughts?

Stones are just stones, they don't think so much.

But Mo Ling would. Feeling the memories on the rock patterns and letting his eyes follow the traces of time, Mo Ling thought of many possibilities on behalf of the stones. However, none of these possibilities had any hope of being realized. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, these stones would still be rigidly imitating other lives in this stone forest.

Maybe one day, those "awakened" stones will fall asleep again, and this stone forest will die completely and turn into real "stones".

"Luqi, you don't have to persuade me. I know I can't help them. I just feel a little sad..."

Hearing Mo Ling's words, Lu Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn't continue speaking, but turned his head and looked at the stone man in front of him.

I have to say that the carving is so exquisite that no sculptor or machine could achieve such perfection. Except for some flaws in the color, it is as if there are three real living people standing in front of you.

Lu Luqi certainly had the same feeling as Mo Ling, but he was more "rational" and did not express his inner emotions.

"This sympathy is unnecessary." Lu Qi knew this clearly.

No matter how pitiful these stones are, they have nothing to do with them.

The most sensible choice is to turn a blind eye and leave this stone forest, the farther the better, so as not to be infected by the emotions conveyed by those stones.

After a period of time, the emotions subside and you will return to your most rational state.

The journey continues, and everyone is happy...

"Mo Ling, it's time to go."

Route said gently.

"it is good……"

Hearing Router Qi's call, Mo Ling nodded blankly. Although his emotions were still surging, he knew what to do.

The two men took another step and walked towards the three stone men.

Looking at the mirror-like stone man, a trace of confusion flashed across Mo Ling's face.

The face that looked exactly like his was getting closer and closer, and there was a hint of confusion and a hint of "reluctance" on that face.

Helpless and unwilling, that expression reflected Mo Ling's inner feelings vividly. Looking at the stone man was like examining his own heart.

Mo Ling took a deep breath and suppressed the emotion of empathy.

"It's just a stone...it's just a stone..."

"Hurrying on the road is the most important thing... Hurrying on the road is the most important thing..." He muttered to himself and slowly walked in front of the "three people".

Just as Mo Ling was about to pass between the "three people", a hand was suddenly placed on his shoulder.

Mo Ling was startled for a moment. He thought the stone man had come back to life. When he calmed down and took a look, he found that it was the stone man's hand.

"What's wrong?" He turned around and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"You really want to help them, right?" Lu Luqi suddenly looked at him and asked seriously, with an arc of light flashing on the lenses of his glasses.

"Yeah." Mo Ling nodded, not knowing what Router wanted to do.

"Then help."

"How to help?"

"I remember you had something..."

……

After a while, a small box was taken into the router's hands.

He carefully opened the outermost layer of the box, and then opened the inner protective layers layer by layer, finally revealing the innermost contents -

A stone ball.

"Is this thing useful?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

"Let's try it first... Do you know what the definition of life is?"

"I don't know." Mo Ling shook his head.

"Life is a kind of anti-entropy, a mechanism that resists equilibrium." Lu Qi explained while lightly tapping the surface of the stone ball with his fingertips.

"I don't understand." Mo Ling answered without hiding anything.

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that life is against balance..."

After testing the surface temperature of the stone ball, Router slowly picked up the stone ball and held it in front of him.

"If a 37-degree Celsius object is placed in a 0-degree Celsius environment, what temperature will the object become in the end?"

"0 degrees." Mo Ling answered without hesitation. This kind of question was easy for him to answer.

"What if the object with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius is a human?"

Mo Ling hesitated for a moment and answered again: "It's still 37 degrees."

"That's right. As long as there is enough energy intake and means of heat preservation, life will always maintain its temperature. The environment wants to make life become like it, but life will resist this balance."

The router held the stone ball and continued to give examples:

"If you mix a cup of 37 degrees Celsius water with a cup of 0 degrees Celsius water, after a period of time, the final temperature of the cup of water will stop between 37 degrees and 0 degrees, which means it has reached equilibrium."

"If a person with a temperature of 37 degrees drinks a glass of water at 0 degrees, after a period of time, the temperature will still be 37 degrees, because the person has introduced energy from the outside world, forcibly offsetting this balance."

"Life creates local areas of anti-entropy, which eases the absolute balance of the world."

“If the world is a huge fish tank, then life is the scavenger in the fish tank. The speed at which the fish tank becomes completely chaotic is slowed down by these scavengers.”

"But now, there is a cleaner that is more powerful than life. It can not only temporarily eliminate the stains in the fish tank, but also completely eliminate the stains, making the water clearer and reversing the fish tank to a completely clean state..."

"It can completely disrupt the equilibrium and completely reverse the spontaneous flow of energy."

As Lu Qi spoke, he held the stone ball in front of Mo Ling:

"If you drop 37 degrees into 0 degrees water, you'll get 500 degrees and -273 degrees ice. This is not only breaking the equilibrium, it's reversing the equilibrium..."

"Tell me, isn't this a 'super life' that is more powerful than life?"
