"this……"

Li Yao thought about it for a long time before he understood Gu Wuxin's meaning.

Indeed, in the human civilization where Li Yao lives, both the Star Federation and the Real Human Empire have entered the era of informatization. Almost everyone uses crystal brains to connect with the Internet. Whether it is work, study, or life, all aspects are inseparable from the Internet. "Spirituals" like Lu Qingchen were even born, trying to connect everyone to virtual space through the Internet and create a new form of civilization.

Not to mention, the main brain of the Covenant Alliance, "Fuxi", is a crystal brain and spiritual network that has a certain meaning. Like Xiao Ming, Wenwen and the boxing champion, it is the information life of a new generation.

So, is the so-called "superbody" of Gu Wuxin the same as the informatization concepts of Lu Qingchen, Fuxi, Xiao Ming, Wenwen and the boxing champion?

Li Yao felt that it was not. Gu Wuxin and his superbody had already touched a deeper area of ​​life than Lu Qingchen, Fuxi, Xiao Ming, Wenwen and the boxing champion. Perhaps that was the essence of life.

"You must admit that humans, or all carbon-based intelligent life, are information animals. Since our oldest ancestors, bacteria and viruses born in the primitive oceans, they have existed to copy, transmit and weave information, swallow information, constantly swallow more information, output information, and transmit information to larger populations and farther ranges. These are our instincts and the meaning of our existence."

Gu Wuxin continued, "In ancient times when the technical level was backward, individuals of carbon-based intelligent life had to seal themselves and live a monotonous, boring, boring and lacking information interaction, but this does not mean that they like this, it is just that their instinct to absorb and transmit information was suppressed.

"Once the technical means are mature and the social environment allows, carbon-based intelligent life will immediately move towards informatization, post-information, super-information, and constantly transform itself and the whole world, using various forms of networks to closely connect all individuals.

"They long for information and constantly swallow information that has no meaning to them, from changes in the universe and national events, from celebrity scandals and social news in the next town, from family matters around them, from trivial matters around them, what does this information have to do with their lives, and what impact can it have on them? But they just want to know, and they will consume their precious lives at will.

"Similarly, they keep uploading their information to the Internet, ignoring that no one cares what they eat, what they wear, how they feel, or what problems they encounter in their life and work, no one cares about these, they also know that no one cares about these, but they just can't control the impulse engraved in the deepest part of the gene, like a never-ending high-power radio station, constantly releasing information, information, information, and information outward, and using this information to reconstruct oneself in the network and virtual world, a better, more exciting, and more ‘real’ self.

"This is what happened to every individual in the early days of Pangu civilization entering the information society.

"Of course, because the Pangu tribe itself has the ability to induce a large-scale telepathy and has imparted this ability to other races in the Pangu Civilization Alliance, we build a network and the way of information interaction may be different from yours.

"But I believe that the essence is the same. There must be more and more ‘Internet addicts’ and ‘information tribes’ in your civilization. Your society is slowly moving towards informatization, networking and even virtualization, right?

"No need to answer, I have sensed the answer from the rippling waves of your brain.

"Actually, what is the difference between reality and illusion? What is the difference between me and others?

"I just said that once I enter the superbody, I can live in the brains of billions of people, and billions of people can also pour into my brain to share wisdom, emotions and memories. You seem to be very alert and disgusted, but if you think about it carefully, it is not as exaggerated as you think.

"I don't know if there are any similarities in your civilization... In the words of the earth, there are games and movies, so when you are immersed in a beautiful, exciting movie and exciting game, wouldn't you also put yourself into the characters of the protagonist in the movie and game and experience another life? When the technology is constantly upgraded, the Internet world gradually has all the beauty of the real world and has improved a hundred times more changes, who would refuse to spend a brighter, better and richer life in the Internet world? After all, compared to our wisdom and desires that explode in geometric ranges, how weak our brains and bodies are, and how lonely and boring the real world we live in!

"The historical trend is vast, and those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Do you understand that this is an inevitable trend of civilization evolution. It is not transferred by the will of a certain 'hero' or 'devil'. First, there are various large and fixed terminals that build a primary network; then the terminal becomes smaller, mobile and wearable, allowing the network to cover the entire civilization; then the terminal is further miniaturized and can be implanted under the skin, becoming an artificial organ that everyone must wear when they are born. Gradually, the division between flesh and blood and network terminals is becoming increasingly blurred. With the development of biotechnology and quantum technology, brain cells will become biological crystal brains, and the crystal brain will also shrink to the level of mustard seeds and cells, perfectly integrated into the flesh and blood body, and will not be damaged or scrapped for life.

"At every stage of development, the efficiency of people's information interaction, including the amount of information they consume and output every second, will increase hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of times than in the past! An ordinary person living in the early information age, reads news information through network terminals in one day, may be more news information than his ancestors who lived in the dark and ignorant villages thousands of years ago, and his descendants of the late information age, that is, the "super information age", are the information he swallows in one second, billions of times more than his. If such a beautiful super information age really comes, all their brains will be connected together, sharing wisdom, emotions and memories, and forming a "super body", wouldn't it be natural and natural?

"Of course, I believe you will definitely mention the old-fashioned and old-fashioned question of how to maintain 'free will'. This is not your fault. This is a question that carbon-based intelligent life will inevitably ask under the limitations of stereotyped thinking. I think my ancestors once repeatedly considered this issue when they decided to build a small hyperinformation network to link into our own superbody.

"Don't worry, even if you link to the super body, you can still maintain your small, futile, ridiculous independence. As long as you want, you can completely close your super information interaction agreement and cut off contact with others. There is no compulsive command to prohibit doing this, but few people will do this."

"Why?"

Li Yao couldn't help asking.

"Why?"

Gu Wuxin raised his eyebrows high, as if his brain waves containing strong sarcastic effects were not enough to express his surprise. "Isn't this an obvious and self-evident thing? Human carbon-based intelligent life is an animal of information. Information is our mission and significance. No one can return to the low information interaction state of '100,000 orders' or even '10,000 orders of magnitude' after getting used to the '100,000 orders of magnitude' and '10,000 orders of magnitude'.

"Imagine a person who is used to indulging in the Internet world day and night, wearing several information terminals, having countless accounts in countless forums, and having countless lives in countless games and movies, throwing back into the Middle Ages of isolation, backward technology, dark and ignorant, without the Internet, newspapers, books, and ten thousand wonderful lives, he faces the monotonous sky and barren land, and the mountains and ridges surrounding the villages. The only entertainment throughout the year is to use inferior anesthetics to get drunk like this. Can he tolerate such a life? If it were you, cut off the Internet and live without entertainment, how long can you tolerate it?

“The truth is the same.

"For people living in the 'Super Body Era', they have to read 10,000 pieces of information every second, from the explosion of supernova millions of light years away to the experts and scholars in another world, to the beautiful scenery that explorers have just discovered on a certain planet... At the same time, they have to express their opinions on these 10,000 pieces of information, produce their own feelings, and upload these views and feelings into the superbody. Sharing information with everyone is like an indispensable thing for them. Not to mention going back to the ancient times when there is no information interaction at all, it is even back to the early days of the information age, using various portable terminals to process three or five pieces of information every minute is unimaginable. If this kind of tragedy really happens, they will either collapse or be suffocated to death.

"So, you understand, splitting yourself from the superbody and maintaining ridiculous independence is tantamount to mental suicide.

"Besides, communication and isolation are both two-way. If you want to maintain the independence of spirit and thinking, it means that you cannot spy on and share other people's wisdom, emotions and memories. You will become a lonely ghost who is free from the main civilization. After all, humans are group animals. Doing so is against nature and there is no benefit at all!"
