Minister of Foreign Affairs, Old Yang sighed and said, "The topic of CET-6 civilization is too complicated and is not suitable for us to discuss now. Let's change the topic. If we let us understand the ultimate question of the universe and its answers, but if we know it, we will die instantly, would we? "

Zhang Yuan said without hesitation: "There will be some people who are willing, and the proportion may be quite large... Anyway, I definitely want to!"

"I do, too."

"willing!"

Everyone gave their files one after another.

Li Zhendong was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "The ultimate question... I must be willing."

The old friends at the party actually gave the same answer. Lao Yang was a little overwhelmed for a while. Unexpectedly, the group of people had such a consistent idea and all smiled strangely at him.

After a few seconds, seeing Lao Yang being a little disbelief, Zhang Yuan explained: "Old Yang, the temptation of the ultimate problem of the universe is too great. It encompasses the meaning of survival and everything. If you know its answer, you will know everything, and you will even know when you die."

"When I think about it this way, it seems like it's no big deal to die... I'm sure I'm willing."

"The ultimate problem of the universe is too valuable. In my opinion, it is far higher than the cost of personal life. The scope should be narrowed down a little, such as the solution to the black box problem, the real mystery of quantum consciousness, the breakthrough point of predicting mathematics, and facing these slightly smaller problems, if I die instantly after knowing the answer, this price... I might hesitate for a while."

Many scientists present nodded and agreed with Zhang Yuan's point of view.

There is a balance in the face of gaining more knowledge and personal life.

The value of human life is limited, and sufficient knowledge can indeed leverage life. This is the common idea of ​​all the scientists here.

"This should be a difference in the value level. For some civilizations, enough money can leverage life; but for us, enough knowledge can leverage life."

"If you compare superiority and good or bad, I think the latter may be better, because advocating knowledge can promote the progress of civilization."

Even a guy like Li Zhendong, who is usually slick, is seriously thinking about this question: How much is his life worth?

In real life, does the so-called Tao, the ultimate truth of the universe exist or not?

No one knows.

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "How should we choose between happiness and ideals in life? Which is more important, fish or bear's paw? I'm afraid there will never be a real answer to this question. The answer may vary from person to person. What we expect is that anyone who makes any choice can gain the respect and understanding of others."

"The greatest success in life is to live your life in your own way. Now these Lenino people have made their own choices. For various reasons, it is enough to respect their choices. We are not interested in interfering with the choices of the civilized choices of the depressed."

Lao Yang spread his hands: "Okay, okay, we successfully convinced me. I finally know the difference between the decayed civilization and us. This gap is caused by history and is irreparable. Although it is not a real qualitative change, it has also been a big and big change..."

"It seems that we have been on this road for a long time."

He took a sip of coffee and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, there is another very interesting thing to tell us. Our scientific expedition team found several suspected intelligent species on the Red Kan Star, which is the companion star of Lenino Star... and it may even be hive intelligent species!"

"oh?!"

Zhang Yuan's expression suddenly moved, and he felt a little excited, "A wise bug?"

There are too many insect species on Hongkanxing, and conservatively estimated that there are 100 million species. Even if the Lenino people provided some of the biological specimens they collected to humans, it was only a drop in the bucket.

There are also a large number of species hidden in the forest and in the soil, waiting for people to discover them.

The detection ability of the new human beings is naturally not comparable to that of the Lenino civilization. With the vigorous investigation of various detection robots, some very strange species that are suspected to be intelligent life have been discovered.

"Hehe, I know we're very interested. This is the first-hand information I just sent, and it's not something confidential anyway."

Lao Yang brought up a few photos from his personal terminal to show them to everyone.

"The first species, called alien bees for the time being, live in forests, have wings, and can fly. The average mass of an individual is about one kilogram, slightly larger than a fist!"

"Their survival mode is a bit similar to bees on the earth. They suck the juice of plants and process some food into shellac with a relatively long shelf life, with a certain social division of labor."

The robot found insect nests. The shellac inside is a very luxurious health product for the Lenino people, and it is said to be able to increase lifespan. This species similar to bees hides deep in the forest and is not easy to find, and the yield of shellac is also very low.

"Can it really increase life span?"

"Of course it's fake... The so-called shellac is some carbohydrates and some proteins."

"The second species, called alien ants for the time being, live in the soil and dig holes. The average mass of individuals is 2.2 kg, which is considered a relatively large insect... The entire nest is a bit like the division of labor pattern of ants on the earth. Some individuals can absorb humus in the soil and then process substances such as nutrient paste to supply the entire population."

Zhang Yuan stared at the photo for a long time. These hideous insects naturally didn't look very cute. He couldn't tell that these guys had wisdom.

He asked in a suspicious tone: "There are too many ants, bee-type hive groups, and almost every life planet can be found. How do you think they have a certain degree of wisdom?"

Lao Yang smiled and said, "Let me first say that those groups similar to bees are very aggressive. We know that in order to pursue excitement, the noble children of the Lenino civilization often run to this planet to kill insects. Some program teams will also hold games to kill insects... The hatred between the two sides may have lasted for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

He knew about this.

"This bee species, after being attacked by the Leninos, has a strong desire for revenge and will immediately retaliate. They have very hard and poisonous tail needles, and they are either killed or injured when stung."

"But in front of steel and bullets, the attacks of insects are powerless, so this species was once the main target of attacks with the Lenino people."

"After being slaughtered, the alien bee mysteriously hid... It cannot be said that it disappeared, but deliberately avoided the pursuit of the Lenino people. They ran away when they saw the Lenino people. It is strange? Generally speaking, the formation of the concept of natural enemies requires a long time to cultivate, but the alien bee transformed very quickly, making them very smart..."
