Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 557
On the way to Frost House, Qiaoqiao Tianyi found Yale Liga and sat with her in the bridge room to rest.The atmosphere on board was unrelenting, and not just Poddy.

"Have you heard of that?" Qiaoqiao Tianyi asked while biting the straw, "Multi-ritual socialization experiment of equality among members within a single civilization?"

"I'm not sure which one you're talking about."

"Oh, I mean the one that Central City did a long time ago, the one that was selected in the trap zone. "Xunqu" and "Jingwei" fought three pages about it."

"That's very common."

"That's true. However, the experiment caused a sensation at the time... What would happen if the upper and lower layers of a civilization exchange consciousness? Can they spontaneously achieve equality by exchanging each other's experiences? This is really topical , and it happened not long after I moved to Gate City. I can't get over the atmosphere of that time. I hear discussions about it everywhere. Even the elves from Isle of Issen came to me Let's watch the live show together."

Allerica remembered.She did hear about it.

"That time there were a lot of confounding factors, and the design wasn't good enough," she said. "They didn't draw generalizable conclusions."

"Yeah, yeah. But... it seemed to go really well at first. The ones who got their minds on the upper floors, they seemed so humble and cautious, and the ones on the lower floors adapted quickly— Oh, not that everyone fits in well, some of them nearly go crazy, or go to jail for assaulting people. But in general, those cases are a minority. Then for a while, they seem to have achieved Some kind of peace agreement. Keep the status quo, less exploitation and plundering, as fair as possible. Until they are sure that this exchange of consciousness will not change, everything looks very good. But after entering the second phase... …Things seem to be back to square one. And it was only four or five sidereal years."

"Primitive civilizations are very forgetful. Their intergenerational lifespan is very short, and they cannot pass on historical experience."

"Yes. However, I don't think it's quite, Yalai. Sometimes I think they didn't forget. Once half of your organs were sold, and one eye was blind, just in exchange for the medical bills of your offspring. And Now your body can lift five times its body weight and you have a whole dedicated medical team. Can you forget how much different there is? I don't think it's forgotten, they still remember the difference between the two lives, It was just... they were pretending to forget. But when the experiment entered the third stage, they were more resistant to the life of the lower class than before. In order not to regain consciousness before the deadline, they really... When I left my hometown Before, never thought that kind would treat each other like this, Yalai. I almost packed up and went back then. What about you? Did you see those Phase [-] videos? About them enacting free gift laws and then The mandatory part?"

"I've seen it."

"Is that normal? I mean, the primitive pan-sapient race treats the same kind like this, should I understand it as an instinct? Shouldn't this be demanded by a higher standard?"

Allerica stroked her wings.

"I've never been with my own species," she said. "For me, it's just me and other species."

"But I see you get on well with them."

"Maybe because I can easily assimilate their thoughts with mine."

"However, the same kind of thinking is inherently similar, isn't it? I just can't get that experiment out of my head. They did understand the thoughts of the same kind of different positions, and they did experience the lives of the same kind of different positions. But somehow everyone felt more right and the conflict was more intense than before."

Yale Liga didn't say anything, just continued to pick up a piece of candy.With regard to intra-racial strife, she felt that this was a very common thing.But she found that Qiaoqiao Tianyi was unusually depressed about this.

"I also followed their follow-up experiment," she said. "They did a new, small-scale mind simulation after the initial version failed. That is, temporarily cleared all of their Old memories, allowing them to experience another life without preconceived positions, and then restore their old identities and old memories. The Institute hypothesizes that this experience will increase their empathy and make them more willing to allocate resources fairly .but...still just as bad. People who experience the upper levels are more angry and violent, and less friendly to the lower levels of their surroundings; Currency is a terrible idea. They rob each other like wild hooters! I can't imagine how their kind evolved civilization, it seems that every one of them will go crazy at any time, and put The fire burned everyone."

"They can't threaten you." Yale Liga comforted, "Even if they discover the tunneling equation, they won't be able to enter your country."

"I'm not worried about that, Yalai, of course. But it's hard when I look at them not to think about some questions—how on earth are you supposed to teach virtue to such a species? If they're not limited to empirical ignorance, or vision Narrowness, but by nature? No matter how much you let them experience, they will only draw conclusions that are beneficial to themselves. They only care about how to plunder more for themselves, but in fact they can’t do it well. It’s self-defeating. It’s hard not to feel like there’s something missing in their nature. And if there’s no seed in the ground, what’s the point of you watering it? It frustrates me to think about it.”

"Are you thinking about the old man?"

"Yeah. I think they're making me a little sensitive right now. Is it really okay if we put them in that base?"

"At least better than on the ship. We don't know what the life support system on them needs. They'll be fine. There's no way people on the surface can get there."

Qiaoqiao Tianyi seems to agree with this point of view.After a while she asked again, "What happened to the talkative male?"

"Still in the room. Doesn't appear to be talking to us."

"We shouldn't have brought him. There's another one. Their bodies aren't necessarily adapted to another area. His reaction also confuses me, Yarai, do you think he's grieving for the Ageless? As an enslaved By?"

Allerica thought about it for a while.

"He's in pain," she said. "He's a slave, in fact. But maybe he doesn't feel that way."

"So what?"

"Perhaps in his opinion, the old people are more like parents."

"That's weird. Parents? The ones who decide whether he lives or dies?"

"In the eyes of children, parents are the ones who decide their life and death. That is the foundation of their obedience."

The flying mane with warped sky wings twitched.

"I don't like that statement. It's very scary," she said.After she thought about it for a while, she added a little depressed: "But I noticed that many primitive races are indeed like this. They seem to be able to dispose of their own children at will, without any external or conceptual constraints... But they Is there something else in between? If it's just for survival?"

"Just the one on our ship. I think there is."

As for Bodi's performance, they all had witnessed with their own eyes how he moved the bodies of each ageless man to the appropriate position, making them lie side by side quietly as if they were sleeping.As he lingered at their feet, considering whether to kill some of them, the hatred on his face was undoubtedly directed at the intruder.

He failed to kill anyone.Because Yale Liga reminded him that the video only said that "some people have backup programs", which means that not everyone will "reincarnate" after being killed.And when Qiaoqiao Tianyi also stood against him, he had to consider whether he really had the ability to succeed under the surveillance of these outsiders.

"It's best to find out what's going on with the people who killed them first," said Yareriga.That sentence put an end to their increasingly dangerous argument.They investigated for a period of time in the old man's base, and then re-boarded the Silence and headed towards the blue light point below.

"What do you think," Qiaoqiao Tianyi said, "Ji Xun, is the person we are looking for dead?"

"I won't draw conclusions. Before we entered here, Mencheng was still receiving babies."

"Maybe it's an automated program?"

"Then we should be able to find the program in Frost House. According to what he left, it is his main stronghold."

"And if he's dead... that brat who ran away from home should be in Frost House? Do you think we can find him there?"

Allerica couldn't deny that she had expectations.Not long afterward, as they set foot on the strange, blue-glowed ore floor of Frost House, the scene before Thorn's departure came back to her mind.It has been so long since then that her pent-up anger has begun to dissipate, and when she thinks of the face in the video that looks like thorns announcing her own death, she feels a slight oppression in her chest, as if being reborn. things compacted.It was a nameless and deep worry, she realized.
