Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1043 For Everything

Yang Yi already knew what happened next, even if it wasn't completely accurate, it was pretty close.

Because of this serious disagreement, a civil war broke out among these god-like beings, and it was the most tragic war in history.Although the conservatives won the initial victory by virtue of their numerical advantage, they paid a very heavy price for their mercy to the enemy.In a sense, this is also an inevitable result, because what the conservatives defend is not only the lives they created, but also themselves, and even their enemies who are closely related to them. The enemy beat the killer.According to Orcas, if they do this, they will lose their nature and make victory meaningless.In fact, this also made the conservatives doomed not to win the final victory of this war, and there was the final result.

"Actually, even at the end, we still have a chance. It's just that we always believe that even if there are irreconcilable differences in opinions, we are brothers of the same root. No matter what the final result is, we should not be brothers and sisters. disabled." Okas sighed, and then said, "It's just that this cruel war has also made us realize more and more important issues, such as what the universe we live in is like, and How much our existence, and the life that we create, has had an impact on the universe. If there’s anything we’ve learned from it, that’s the main one.”

"reward?"

"What do you think the Silicon Beasts have to dominate the Northern Alpha system after our civil war is over?"

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions, waiting for Okas to continue.

"Actually, before the civil war broke out, we had already realized the seriousness of the problem. Simply put, our activities have already had an impact on the universe, and it is still a bad impact." Orcas took a long breath before saying, "The key is not that we , but creatures of our creation."

"What do you mean?"

"Billions of years can make many problems too small to be noticed. Although under our control, the impact of any one kind of organism is extremely limited, but thousands, even The impact of hundreds of millions of populations cannot be underestimated. More importantly, even the lowest-level creatures will affect and change the environment in order to survive and reproduce. When the vitality becomes stronger, or masters After acquiring advanced technology, they will seek and occupy a wider living space. Simply put, even the silicon beast with the lowest IQ will become powerful enough after billions of years of evolution."

"Thus having a huge impact on the universe?"

Okas nodded and said: "Of course, before the outbreak of the civil war, we have been controlling the evolution and development of the created creatures, that is, minimizing their impact. Unfortunately, billions of years , enough to make our efforts useless. In fact, this is one of the reasons for the civil war, because even under our direct control, such a situation cannot continue. Before long, the creatures created by us will be Evolved enough strength to compete with us, so as to change the three-dimensional universe, and even destroy the foundation of existence. Obviously, the only thing that can stop this from happening is war."

"You mean, before this, extremely powerful intelligent creatures have appeared?"

"You can say that, but it's not entirely true."

"What do you mean?"

"For billions of years, millions of years are just a blink of an eye." Orcas paused for a while, and then continued, "In these billions of years, except for the first few hundred million years, we will mainly The energy is devoted to transforming the environment, to be precise, creating the right environment, and the rest of the time is spent creating life, all kinds of life. During this period, we have experienced many failures, but in the end all succeeded. Although it is a waste of time It takes a lot of time, and in my case, I spent about 30 billion years groping around before creating the first life with basic intelligence, and the life created in those 30 billion years failed. But for us, the wasted time is nothing at all. In other words, our purpose is actually to create a life with intelligence, or a life that is highly similar to us, so as to continue our existence, Or to prove our existence."

Yang Yi frowned tightly, feeling very complicated.

Quite simply, what Orcas said is equivalent to proving that these powerful beings have always played the role of God, and they never tire of it.

"In creating intelligent life, we discovered a previously overlooked, but extremely important, and even destructive problem. This is that all intelligent life can evolve, and the speed of evolution As intelligence increases, the rate of evolution will increase. The problem is, we can't evolve, at least not in the past few billion years. Of course, this is not surprising, we are all alone , and all have almost eternal life, there is no need to reproduce offspring, so it is impossible to obtain evolution through reproduction. The result is obvious, we have to make a choice."

"You mean, these intelligent life created by you will eventually surpass you?"

Okas nodded slightly, and said: "It can be said that if we don't restrict these intelligent life forms, they will definitely surpass us. It may take millions of years or even more time to evolve to be comparable to us, And master the wisdom necessary for advanced technology, but for billions of years, this time is not long at all. In addition, in these billions of years, we are not always observing those created intelligent life. Very It is clear that if we are a little negligent, the intelligent life we ​​create will become the most serious threat. In fact, this has happened, more than once."

"You mean..."

"It's just that everything has been properly handled. It's very simple. We will not admit defeat, let alone publicly suffer the humiliation. For us, destroying a civilization is not difficult at all. If something like this happens We will handle things on our own, and we will never publicize them. Take me for example, in the star systems I rule, there are at least five intelligent creatures that have evolved to the stage of advanced civilization, and the evolution time used has not exceeded One million years, one of the civilizations even took less than 100 years to make the leap. If I hadn’t acted in time, I’m afraid I would have been wiped out by the civilization I created before the civil war broke out.”

"This……"

"Of course, the discovery of these civilizations is not based on luck or coincidence, but necessity."

"What must be?"

"Although we don't keep staring at the created creatures, at most we just glance at them occasionally, but any kind of creature will try to use it after it has evolved to a certain level, especially after mastering the technology related to the original energy. It is inevitable that there will be abnormal phenomena that we can perceive, such as obvious original energy fluctuations and space fluctuations, which will attract our attention."

"Then, you will take action to destroy these civilizations."

"It's the only option, although it's not the outcome we hoped for."

Yang Yi smiled wryly, with an indescribable feeling.

"Of course, I'm not the only one who did this." Orcas paused for a while, and then said, "However, if there is no civil war later, such things will still happen. In a sense, whether it is Silicon Man , or the silicon beasts that evolved into intelligence later, in fact, all of them are the beneficiaries of the civil war."

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you think we lost that civil war, or why we were defeated by far fewer radicals than us, even if we died together?"

"This……"

"At that time, we had an absolute advantage, not only in terms of numbers, but we also controlled almost all star systems. Those radicals who came back knew that they were not our opponents, at least relying on their own strength to defeat us, so they came up with the idea in such a way.”

"Using intelligent life?"

Okas nodded and said: "After they came back, the first thing they did was to create a large number of intelligent life in some marginal star systems that we didn't pay much attention to, and provided support and protection. It is to help these intelligent life evolve at a faster speed, and there is no abnormal phenomenon that we can detect. By the time we discover the danger, they have already taken the most critical step and achieved results. As a result, we What we are facing is no longer a limited number of radicals, but tens of thousands of intelligent beings who are armed by them and whose strength is not inferior to ours."

Yang Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.

"The result is obvious. Even if our group is larger, when we face an army of intelligent beings that are tens of thousands of times larger than ours, and whose individual strength is not much worse than ours, at least there is no decisive gap, even if we try our best, we will eventually Still can't win."

"So, you made the decision to die with the enemy?"

"That's the only way, and not just to defeat the enemy, and not just for ourselves, but for everything."

"is it?"

"If we hadn't done this, then the Northern Alpha Galaxy and the Southern Alpha Galaxy would have long since ceased to exist, and there would be no current events."

Yang Yi sighed, he understood what Okas meant, but it was difficult to accept for a while.

"Of course, all of this has passed." Okas also sighed. "Although as far as I am concerned, it will be the same if I am asked to make a decision again. It's just that now, you are here, even if I don't trust you, but for the purpose we sacrifice everything we hope to achieve, you are the only one hope."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.
