Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

It all happened suddenly for the pioneering space explorer duo.

Because Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming had actually just experienced a difficult exploration mission, and when they were about to return to their hometown to rest for a while, they were directly pulled over by the Central Committee through official mission channels.

Leaving aside Zheng Guo's official commission, when it comes to this mission, the two of them are really in a mess and can't help but want to pour out their bitterness.

In fact, they had already told their audience once during the live demonstration of the mission.

It was a special mission called [Pioneer Guidance]. According to senior personnel within the space, this type of mission is a special test process to detect the purity of the 'Pioneer Value', which is related to the type of subsequent Pioneer missions issued.

Generally speaking, this kind of special mission is not dangerous, but it is definitely very difficult.

Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming naturally didn't know what kind of messy setting this 'pioneer value' was, but they thought it was similar to the exorcism power in her room and Jiu Ming's dragon cancer power.

All in all, after the two prepared a large number of measures to deal with extreme environments, they set off and started this 'guidance' trip.

At the beginning of the mission, they were transported to a continent that seemed to have a round sky and a round place.

The entire continent is flat, with basically no mountain peaks. There are only endless plains, scattered hills, and very regular lakes and oceans with various geometric shapes.

At first, Shao Shuangyue thought that this might be some kind of special flat continent world, such as a flat earth world - but as Jiu Ming flew to high altitude to detect the specific situation of the continent, the results surprised the two of them. Not new, the old explorer opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

Because what they are in is a ‘ring world’!

The so-called ring world is a man-made giant building built around a star or other luminous source, surrounding it and absorbing its energy to create an extremely terrifying and suitable living environment. It is a type of star-level super building.

The 'Guide World' they are in is such a ring world that is tens of thousands times larger than the earth.

Only in a purely artificial world like Ring World would the coastline be a straight line and the lake probably be a perfect circle or square.

Looking at the sun and sky from the ring world is different from looking at the sun from the ordinary world, because the sun never sets, but the nanorobots in the atmosphere will automatically enter the light-absorbing mode at night, turning into Create an opaque solar film to bring darkness to the earth.

Generally speaking, the day, night, and ecological conditions in Ring World are fairly normal.

As for Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming, their mission is to lead a group of barbarians to develop a 'civilization' in this ring world.

"Good brother, aren't these points given away for free?"

After seeing this task, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but complain to Jiu Ming: "Lead the barbarians to develop civilization? I am familiar with this. I can teach them to make fire, learn to make houses, and build settlements. Isn't it enough to have some division of labor and language?"

"Indeed." Jiu Ming touched the golden Egypt-style necklace on his chest. He pondered his doubts and frowned: "But in theory, it shouldn't be that simple - the guidance mission is indeed not dangerous, but it definitely shouldn't be this way. Keep it simple.”

"Let's see what happened to those primitive races."

Jiu Ming's suggestion is indeed very sound. Shao Shuangyue also thinks that we should see what the mission goal is... What if the difficulty of the goal lies here? For example, give them a group of jellyfish and a group of trilobites as indigenous people who need to be guided.

Lead these guys to develop civilization...

That level of difficulty was truly worthy of the pained expression on the face of the explorer who originally told them the news, almost like the expression of an outsider who had swallowed three cans of bean juice in one breath.

The inspection results are not bad, but they are definitely not good either.

The race they named 'Au' is a pale silver humanoid creature that looks somewhat human-like on the surface, but has translucent outer skin.

Not bad, because the mission target, the indigenous race in the ring world, 'Ao', are not primitive creatures like jellyfish and trilobites that have no brains and underdeveloped nervous systems - they even have a pretty good foundation. , if the brain is fully developed, it should be no worse than humans.

It's not good because this race has never tried to use their brains.

Yes, that's right, they never, ever need to use their brains.

Why?

The answer is also very simple.

That's because the environment of this ring world is so good that living things don't need to think, explore, or use any thoughts at all to "live" comfortably and comfortably.

"Woo↑wu↓wu↑, what kind of ghost world is this?!"

After a period of detection, Shao Shuangyue was shocked to discover that the various shrubs, grasses and trees on the dense plains of this world were all a special kind of modified organisms, a special kind of 'agricultural crops'!

The trees in this world will grow bread that tastes similar to chocolate bread, and the trees themselves taste like beef jerky, with life elements that can fully meet any needs of local life.

The weeds here are excellent seasonings. Whether they are roasted in the fire and sprinkled with powder, or soaked in soup and boiled, they all bring a refreshing fragrance.

And the shrubs here grow almost all kinds of berries - according to Jiu Ming's tasting report, there are apples, pears, durians, strawberries, and all kinds of special flavors that he has never tasted before.

In addition, there are giant plants in the ground, which are also directly practical plants, seaweed in the sea, flowers on the cliffs, and many more...

There is even a huge live food processing factory, whose ecological form is similar to a moving forest. It will move randomly in all directions on the earth, spreading a variety of modified plant seeds with different flavors to ensure the stability of the overall ecosystem.

In this ring world, all the food is readily available, and you won't starve to death even if you lie on the ground motionless.

In such a world, do we really need to use our brains to survive?

——Wisdom is not a necessity for survival.

Through the special circumstances of this world, Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming can be regarded as fully understanding this truth.

The gestation method of the Austrian tribe is to fuse two Austrian tribes together, and then split into a main body containing the memories of the original two individuals, and seven or eight derivatives as 'children'. In a sense, this is the same as that of slime. The methods of reproduction are similar, and maybe the Austrians are some kind of advanced slimes.

All in all, in such an excellent ecological environment, the Austrian people have no worries about their survival. They do not have or need any technological development, and because of this, they have no curiosity and no reason to have any desire to explore.

Guide the Austrians to develop civilization?

Shao Shuangyue competed with the two, and even started to drive the mecha in circles in the sky. Jiu Ming would rather go to the sea to catch fish than think about this problem.

But this is only temporary. They are explorers after all and cannot escape forever.

Subsequently, according to the exploration of the two explorers, they obtained a large amount of precious information from the ruins of a surface research institute.

Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming finally knew that this ring world was the super civilization 'Omol' that guided the universe. In order to avoid the final doomsday, it built a refuge for other lower civilizations in the universe.

The ancient super civilization 'Oumor' and another ancient super civilization 'Jia Shi' are natural enemies. One of them is a physical electromagnetic life, born in the corona of the sun, with electron exchange flow as the basic information structure, and After arriving on the planet, individuals of the Omol civilization can freely change their own entities and achieve various transformations by manipulating metals.

The other one is an incorporeal gravitational life. The 'Jiashi' were born in the mass wells of supermassive stars in the original universe, and later lived around large stars and black holes. They were accustomed to the curved space and the flat four-dimensional universe. It is unacceptable to them, and supernovae and gamma ray bursts will destroy their gathering places, so the gamma masters are committed to collapsing all the stars in the entire universe into black holes and turning them into a stable and suitable place for them to live. environment of.

Naturally, Oumor intended to stop the other party, but because the life forms of the two sides were too different, when the Oumor civilization realized that the stars in the entire universe were slowly collapsing themselves at an inexplicable speed, and realized that the technological level of the Jiashi civilization was not When a super civilization that is not inferior to their own exists, they are already too late, and countless civilizations have been destroyed as a result.

There are too many civilizations - Jiashi may not be able to discover them. The form of gravitational life is very discrete and grand, and has a completely different thinking logic from ordinary material life - and they were destroyed when the sun went out. Omol, who claimed to be the son of the sun, decided to protect these civilizations. Weak 'fellows'.

Yes, for the ancient super civilization, all the lives born from the sun are the future compatriots of Omol. They divided the universe, moved the star matter, created the 'big void area', and divided the universe into The upper and lower areas prevented the expansion of the Jiashi.

But this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Gravity creatures are creatures that are born to transcend time and space and can move at the speed of light. Jiashi's super-light speed technology is also very mature, so the Omols created the 'Black Domain'.

They have created many 'singular layers' that can wrap up the entire star system. The singular layers have characteristics similar to black hole singularities, which can completely isolate the interaction of information from inside and outside. Gravity is also included in it. It can almost be said to be a device. A small universe in your pocket.

The river systems and planetary systems in the strange layer will not be discovered by Jiashi, because they cannot detect the relevant gravitational fluctuations, and they will think that there is nothing in this place.

The black domain envelops the entire 'upper universe', and all this does not exist as far as the masters are concerned.

However, in order to hide it better, each planetary system will be individually shielded by a strange layer to prevent the civilization within it from spying on the outside, and the Jiashi civilization will detect it and "observe itself", thus exposing the existence of the strange layer.

The ring world was built by the Omor civilization to make it suitable for the alien civilizations that migrated here. They protected many of their "compatriots" who were destroyed in the home system. The ecology of the ring world can only be determined by detecting the races living on it. characteristics, generating a variety of foods suitable for them.

The Ao tribe is one of them. Their sun had collapsed into a black hole by Jiashi seven million years ago. The few surviving individuals were brought back to the ring world by O'Moor, hoping that they could re-develop civilization. .

"But...'Omol' failed."

Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but swallowed the information left in the Ecological Research Institute of Viewers, obviously shocked by the ending.

But whether it was her or Jiu Ming, the flashing light in their eyes was full of curiosity: "The Jiashi masters completed the 'black hole engine' by constructing the black hole structure, and obtained an energy source with nearly unlimited power. They solved it through A grand unified field theory has been achieved from basic matter, and basic forces can be freely controlled. This civilization began to modify the constants of the universe, making the speed of light in a small range of the universe faster, and the strength of the structural bonding force reducing."

"Your Majesty, God..."

Jiu Ming exhaled at this moment. He was not a fish out of the compulsory education, so he could still understand these very clear and simple concepts specially written by the Omor people. The Dragon King almost sighed: "Because of the acceleration of the speed of light, All materials that are combined together due to electromagnetic force will all form at a slower speed...the density of materials will also decrease, except for the black holes controlled by the Jiashi!"

"And the universe controlled by the Omols will rapidly age and collapse, and as electromagnetic life forms, their life forms will also undergo drastic changes as a result, making it difficult to survive!"

This is the end of the war - the Jiashi masters forced the Omols out of the universe by modifying the cosmological constants. The Omols were forced to leave their hometown through the 'Great Rift', a super-giant void crack that crisscrosses the universe. , migrate to other universes.

But Jiashi is not essentially a race with particularly strong desires. After driving away the powerful and dangerous Omols who were hostile to itself, these gravitational beings settled in the darkness, silence, coldness and twists that are most suitable for their survival. Sleeping in the warped space of the universe - due to the distortion of space and time caused by black holes, one of their sleeps is likely to cause a planet to give birth to life and then destroy it.

Just like people who close their eyes in the dusk, they no longer desire anything but hope for the arrival of 'darkness'.

Therefore, Jiashi did not deliberately look for those pocket universes wrapped in strange layers so that these ring worlds protected by Omol in the past could still exist.

However, without the guidance of O'Moore, various problems broke out among many races in the ring world. The ring world where Ao was located, except for the Ao tribe, had basically been wiped out, and even the Ao tribe had degenerated into what it is today. A race that can eat and reproduce, but cannot think about anything else.

——Guide these races that have forgotten curiosity, exploration and the far side to develop civilization, leave the ring world, and pass through the strange ring.

Then, whether this race wants to challenge the Jiashi, or go to other universes like the Omols, it is an 'unknown' thing in the future that can be 'explored'.

The true meaning of the Pioneer space mission was thus opened to them.

【Become a Pioneer】

Or, just an [adventurer] or an [explorer].

There is no distinction between pioneers, adventurers and explorers. Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming are very qualified adventurers, and they also meet the standards when it comes to explorers, so the pioneer space opens up the world of pioneer qualification evaluation to them.

"Although I understand that this is the love shown to us by space, it still feels too weird no matter how I think about it!"

Shao Shuangyue couldn't help complaining to Jiu Ming: "Our strength is not even that of the Earth Immortal. Suddenly we are going against a group of super civilizations that can control the cosmological constants and are all in the realm of returning to the void? Isn't this a bit too much? ?”

"A bit? Sister Shuangyue, this is obviously too much, okay?"

Although he said this, both Jiu Ming and Shao Shuangyue knew very well that this mission had nothing to do with power.

Rather, it doesn’t require strength.

Jiashi is a super civilization that has existed since the birth of the universe. They are born immortal. Except for the war with Omol, they have always maintained a "quiet wait" and basically do not react to the outside world - because many civilizations have not been able to react to them during their existence. To put it simply, it is like a trace of dust floating in front of human eyes. Unless the sunlight is reflected brightly and you happen to see it, you will not be able to detect it at all.

In other words, this is the ultimate autistic race.

It is meaningless to fight with force. A super civilization collective that should have reached the first stage of returning to the void can basically go sideways. The explorers of the pioneer space should wait a little longer. It may be possible to wait for a few decades.

Now, what the pioneer space needs is just a heart to guide civilization forward.

But the situation of the Austrian clan is too difficult.

Today's Austrian tribe basically lives just for the sake of living. Once they are born, they have nothing to worry about eating and drinking. There are no harmful germs in the ring world, and all larvae can thrive.

However, a considerable number of larvae have forgotten the meaning of "living". They cannot grow up and will die in their infancy because they forget how to eat, and will be recycled by the ecological intelligence of the world.

And some of the remaining larvae, although they have learned to eat, have nothing else left.

The Ao tribe gnaws the surrounding turf and leaves, or the fallen fruits for a living every day. This is enough for them to live healthily, so they don’t even need to move. If it’s not mating, they need to fight to determine the strength and front and rear. Shao Shuangyue I doubt if the Austrians will degenerate into worm slimes.

So, how to guide?

A perfect ring world built by a super civilization, an environment where you can live without thinking, a race that has forgotten what hunting is, what exploration is, what civilization and knowledge are, and a galaxy imprisoned in the black domain.

Exploring the duo, all they felt was nothingness.

Curiosity is pointless.

The stars are meaningless.

There is no point in surviving.

The possibilities don't make sense.

Civilization means nothing.

There is no point in continuing.

Whether it was the Jia Master who had nothing to do in the outside world and could only sleep and wait, or whether he was just living for the sake of living because of genetic instinct, even eating was not of his own will, both of them made Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming feel indescribable. nothingness.

Therefore, there is no way to start, no way to 'save'.

During the mission, Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming tried many methods, such as guiding the Austrian larvae to try to think, but because the first step, the 'necessity of thinking' did not exist, it was difficult to continue.

Wisdom is essentially produced by the continuous involution of intelligent life. However, in an environment like the Ring World, humans will not be able to involute in eight lifetimes. Is it really necessary to become smart?

Food does not need to be lit to taste, but it tastes unpalatable if it is set on fire. In a world like this, would there really be any life that would consider lighting a flame?

And the environment is absolutely suitable, there is no way to deal with it, there are no thunders, and there are no wildfires at all.

By the way, besides that, there is another difficulty.

That is, the ring world is essentially an artificial world... In this world, except for rocks, there are no excessively rich natural ores.

A world without metals may be able to develop civilization, but it is obviously beyond the capabilities of Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming.

Can anyone really expect the two of them to come up with alcohol punk, whale oil punk, or bone punk?

"Omol, Jiashi, my date is XXXXX!"

The two live broadcast explorers, who suffered from mental weakness and were tortured by this task, not only made the audience laugh, but they still had some foundation after all. Since Pioneer Space issued a mandatory task, it meant that it believed that the two of them could complete it no matter what. See how to achieve it.

And sure enough, after a period of confusion, Jiu Ming posted a message on the Pioneer Space Forum asking for help. While chatting, he suddenly saw a piece of news about the original Zhu Zhou's appearance.

Of course, this is not the main point. Although the image described by the adventurer named Funya looks very much like Su Zhou, Su Zhou is a young man, not an old man with white hair.

Jiu Ming just suddenly remembered something Su Zhou once said.

"The strong one...is the evil one."

The Dragon King slowly sat up from the grass as soft as a mattress and closed his eyes: "Destruction is actually creation."

"Yes... If all the 'beautiful appearances' make people stop in place and unable to explore forward... then destruction is actually a blessing!"

Jiu Ming gritted his teeth and stood up. At this moment, the beautiful young dragon man was enveloped by the powerful power of the water spirit: "As long as we are still in this overly beautiful environment... the Austrian tribe will never be able to move forward. It will always be like this without even self-will. , a beast lower than an ant!”

"Sister Shuangyue...I have an idea!"

"You mean..."

And Shao Shuangyue is obviously not stupid. She has actually thought of a similar idea for a long time, but because she has little experience, she is a little soft-hearted.

It's just soft-hearted.

I must say something in advance here - Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming are not good people. They are the purest 'pioneer space explorers' and direct descendants of the strongest exploration will in the multiverse.

They are all the seeds of ‘pioneers’.

"I'm going to create a big flood...to cleanse away this group of 'Au Clan' who have grown up and have completely lost their plasticity."

Floating in the sky, overlooking a flat land, the Dragon King's eyes were pure and cold: "Look, these worms only know how to gnaw. Some of their larvae even forget to gnaw. In the not-too-distant future, the Austrian tribe will soon Maybe they will be completely exterminated because they forget how to eat and lose the meaning of their existence."

"In this case, let us do it...Sister Shuangyue, use your car to assist me. I will completely destroy the world's ecology in this area, leaving only those newly born children, and then use spiritual cards to awaken their bloodline The genetic instincts retained in them allowed them to become 'civilized' again from the primitive barbaric era!"

Jiu Ming didn't know if he was right.

Shao Shuangyue didn't know if she was right.

The current Austrian tribe is indeed a piece of meat with no intelligence and is inferior to animals. They cannot be educated at all, and they don't even know if they are alive.

No, this kind of "life", apart from "life", does it really have the concept of "self"?

However, just choosing to kill them, empty them out, and give their next generation a new education...isn't it too arrogant?

Is this correct?

The two of them don't know, but they know that if they want the Austrian tribe to regain the meaning of existence as intelligent life and regain the curiosity and desire to explore the distant stars, they can only be destroyed now.

Destroy this 'artificial Eden' created by O'Moor, and exile the O'Clan to the original hell to endure hardships!

They are willing to shoulder this sin and responsibility, destroy the old Austrian clan, and create a new Austrian clan from scratch.

They succeeded.

Jiu Ming set off a great flood, destroying the ecology of the world around the original settlement of the Austrian tribe, and stopped the self-repair of the ecological AI through the control center in the research institute, while Shao Shuangyue controlled his giant robot car to reshape the terrain, And release small robots to threaten the living environment of the newly born Austrian tribes, forcing them to learn to think about how to 'escape' from the robots in complex terrain environments.

Shao Shuangyue even drove her robot to the meteorite belt scattered around the world, pulling mineral meteorites and smashing them to the ground. In addition to further exacerbating ecological instability, the various minerals contained in them were enough for them to use until the industrial age.

This process took a long time, but Pioneer Space also helped. After finding clues and starting their own training plan, the growth of the Austrian clan began to accelerate.

Their genetic instincts began to become active again, and they recalled their ancient instincts to survive in harsh environments when hunted by predators.

Because of the threat of death, they began to long for life.

Because of the harsh ecological environment, they began to desire to explore a better environment in the distance.

Because everything now cannot satisfy one's own desires, life begins to seek wisdom and longs for better technology and knowledge.

Without nothingness, there is no existence.

Without destiny, there is no pursuit of possibility.

Without everything that has not changed, there would be no action to explore the unknown.

——If there is no greed in life, there will be no motivation for action.

Everything came to an end when the brand new Austrian clan lit the torch to explore the 'dangerous cave maze' created by Shao Shuangyue, and found a long sword made of cosmic alloy in the deepest part of the maze.

The captain of the Austrian exploration team raised his sword and was crowned king, and a new civilization will, a civilization centered on exploration, was reshaped.

Then Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming got a 'D-' for their 'Pioneer Value Assessment Test' results.

"What the hell?!"

Seeing this result, Shao Shuangyue was furious on the spot: "We have worked hard for several years - uh, how long is the acceleration rate of Pioneer Space? In short, after spending so long and hard training, how can we be D-?!"

Jiu Ming didn't say anything. He didn't dwell on the results, but on the facts: "What the hell? Can we be considered successful if we mess up like this? Sister Shuangyue, look, our space suffix has become Half-Step Pioneer (Inferior). !”

Shao Shuangyue took a closer look and became even more furious: "Huh? What does this half-step, this inferiority mean?! What kind of third-rate upgrade system is this?! Is it possible that there are still half-step peak Dzogchen pioneers (superior)? ) this kind of thing?!”

"I'm not going to be a pioneer, okay?"

Angry as they are, the twosome are still very capable.

Amid the laughter of the live broadcast audience, the two sat down and discussed it carefully, and finally determined a fact.

Jiashi is probably a member of the Dusk family, and the Austrian clan looks like it has also suffered from the Dusk.

Although it may only be a trivial influence, it may be their inevitable fate to become like this, but no matter what, the flavor of guiding the universe is too strong, and you can tell something is wrong as soon as you think about it.

The reason why the Pioneer Space allowed them to come to this world was, in essence, to hope that the two of them could become pioneers and guide the Austrian people out of the dusk.

He hopes that Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming can lead a group of ignorant, intelligent races with no curiosity or desire to embark on the path He expects - to make the entire Austrian tribe the same as Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming. exist.

The means are not important, and it does not matter if you destroy the old civilization and create a new civilization. There is no good or evil in the 'pioneer'. His love is too broad and has given too much distance, so that all stagnant existences have no hope before they can be loved. A fatal question is needed.

‘What qualifications do you have to bear the love of pioneers? ’

If you are unwilling to accept it, you will continue to stagnate in place. The pioneer will not lower the postgraduate entrance examination, but it will not guide either.

But if you want to accept it, either rise up or accept the doubt.

"The oldest Austrian civilization, when they settled in the ring world, swore to the 'distant horizon' that they would one day break through the cage, go to the other side of the ring world and the strange layer, and return to their home universe. Revenge against Jiashi, or go to other universes like Omol."

"This oath was remembered by the pioneers, but three million years later, the Austrian tribe forgot it. The memory of their tribe was sealed in the genetic key, making it difficult to open it."

"As the dependents of the pioneers, we came to guide the universe this time in order to let the Austrian tribe recall their true intentions in the past and fulfill their oaths...and we essentially reshaped a brand new race, or did we use very bad coercion? It’s no surprise that the rating is low due to the oppressive tactics used.”

After reading the summary of the mission, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but sigh: "Jiu Ming, if you were more serious about your method of imitating the Tao, you should be able to find the genetic key of the Austrian clan, right? And if I were more serious, maybe I could also It can be scanned.”

"We are still a little bit inadequate when it comes to exploring all the unknowns and exploring unknown places."

With such doubts about themselves, Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming returned to the earth and universe, preparing to relax in their hometown.

Who knows, but the two people who had just returned to Earth were summoned by the Central Committee and entered cyberspace for a meeting as quickly as possible.

"What kind of mission... We are really tired, can't we take a break?"

He protested softly, and Jiu Ming's cheeks swelled with anger. He touched his belly and complained: "At least let me eat something!"

"Eh, what?! Wait!"

But Shao Shuangyue's eyes shone: "You mean, we can go to the Earth Fleet at the edge of the galaxy and meet Brother Zhou?"

"In addition, we can also see many unknown races in the universe, the descendants of the ancient lord?!"

【Yes. ] Dao Sheng replied with a calm tone: [And we guess that the distortion of the world brought about by our mission is enough to trigger the simultaneous release of missions in Pioneer Space - you should have received it now. 】

"Wow?! There is also the mission of Pioneer Space!" Even Jiu Ming was attracted now: "You can get exploration points by destroying a Twilight Fleet ship? You can get a lot of development permissions by destroying the flagship?!"

Immediately, the two half-step pioneers (inferior) made cheerful pioneer sounds in unison.

"Great!"

Free Christmas extra! Merry Christmas everyone, there may be another update tonight!
