Chapter 631 Civilization and Individual



Tong Ling is not good at speaking.

With her current logical thinking, she cannot organize gorgeous words to mobilize other people's emotions.

All her decisions come from the instinctive judgment at the bottom of her thinking.

Although she doesn't understand any fancy things, she knows what is right and what is wrong, and what strategy should be used in what situation to achieve what goal.

Tong Ling's way of thinking is both profound and simple, like a perfect logical judgment auxiliary instrument that Taiwan has not yet produced. She can always see the essence through the phenomenon at the fastest speed and make the best choice within her ability, just like a Buddhist monk who has achieved enlightenment, and like a Taoist who follows the laws of nature and all things return to the origin.

Due to the change in her personal thinking and the birth of cryogenic technology, Tong Ling found a second goal in her life besides war, which was to meet Chen Feng.

But meeting Chen Feng was still just her personal emotional need. Her highest pursuit out of a sense of historical responsibility was still to complete the expedition mission with the nameless fleet.

From the moment she stepped onto the nameless fleet, Tong Ling's highest aspiration had never changed from beginning to end, just like Qin Guang, and it has not changed until now.

The next second, a woman's voice sounded in the projection.

"Who am I? Who are you?"

The voice sounded cold and emotionless, but the audience vaguely heard the taste of a lost lamb.

The thought capture team quickly gave an answer, and the information was synchronized to everyone, whether it was the listeners in the prison ship or other ordinary fleet personnel who regained their freedom, they all knew that the owner of the voice was Tang Yingju.

Tong Ling's behavior did not first stun the prisoners, but the thought capture team who had been studying Tang Yingju's psychological activities.

These people were stunned on the spot.

"Something is wrong, why can Instructor Tong read Tang Yingju's thoughts? We have only been listening to rustling noises for so many years, why is it so?"

Someone shouted so depressedly.

No one could answer him, just as no one could question why Tong Ling didn't say it earlier.

Those who act unintentionally do not need to and cannot explain to anyone.

Tang Yingqun's words did not end there, but continued to unfold, and people's ears were filled with questions one after another.

"Am I the same as you?"

"What does it mean to be alive?

" "Does being able to move mean being alive?

" "Does being able to communicate mean being alive?"

"What is a human being? Am I a human being?"

"Why can't I be like you?" "

So that's wrong? I thought the training was serious, am I wrong?"

"Do you have love? I heard two of my staff members talking about getting married, is that love?"

"What is love? Can love make people make illogical decisions?"

"Will I also have the opportunity to harvest love? Like you, watching my baby grow up little by little in the projection?"

"I don't know why, but every time I see other staff members looking at the projection of the baby, my heart beats faster. Do humans raise their offspring by first raising them in the projection, and then suddenly one day, the baby turns from the projection into reality?"

"Are there really so many people working for my baby? I really want to say thank you to them."

"Will there be a day when I can suddenly meet a friend like everyone else and sit together and chat quietly? After the staff members create someone who loves me, then I won't be so lonely in this universe, right? Sometimes I feel very lucky, and sometimes I feel very pitiful."

"I feel sorry, even though I know that I am not the same kind of life as these people. But I am still sorry. I don't want my child to die, so I have to take their life. Humans created me, I like everyone, and I don't want to take anyone's life. But I must let my child live. Otherwise? I really don't know the meaning of my birth."

These are the fifteen sentences in Tang Ying's short life, running through her first babbling to her last words before death.

After listening to them, the audience felt inexplicably sad.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Ling released a large section of footage that was sped up many times.

People finally understood that Tong Ling released Tang Ying's memory.

Most of the footage was Tang Ying's fantasy battle scenes. For decades, ever since she was stripped of her qualification to train as a fighter, she has never stopped fantasizing in her mind. She completed her self-training in combat skills in her imagination and became a top fighter.

Unfortunately, she never got the chance to show her abilities on a bigger stage until her death, and she never touched real combat armor. Her talent only flashed in the battle with the rebels, and then the fire of life was quickly extinguished.

Perhaps many years later, the question of Tang Yingju's combat ability will become a folk legend, and people will speculate and speculate, and exaggerate the description, thinking that she should have been on par with Tong Ling, but she died young due to a tragic fate.

All of this is destined to be nothing but fantasy.

Tong Ling shared Tang Yingqu's life. At the same time, the leader of the thought capture team, an old lady who was nearly 260 years old, took out an analysis report three hours later.

The old lady quickly integrated and analyzed the images of Tong Ling and Tang Yingqu sitting opposite each other over the past few decades and came to a conclusion.

The two have actually been communicating, but in a way that others cannot understand.

The two are currently the only special individuals who can maintain the state of the mindless while awake.

The communication between the two is not through words or physical movements, but collisions and information exchanges at the level of thought quantum storms.

The language of the two can be named spiritual language.

The white noise heard by the thought capture team is a clear picture and language in Tong Ling's brain.

During these years, it was Tong Ling who taught Tang Yingqiao human language and way of thinking.

Tang Ying's mental battle training is not a completely imaginary fantasy. Tong Ling also provides guidance and correction.

After each communication with Tong Ling, Tang Ying would correct some of the problems in the mental training, and then come up with some new ideas of her own.

These ideas are right and wrong. In the next communication, Tong Ling will in turn absorb some of Tang Ying's correct cognition and point out the wrong parts.

In addition to the battle fantasy, Tang Ying's daily life is interspersed from time to time.

She seems to have learned a lot of new knowledge from Tong Ling.

She imagined herself grazing under the green mountains and clear waters, squeezing into the elevator in an office building with a folder in her arms, wearing a white coat and staring at data in the laboratory, and walking hand in hand with a blurred partner in the sunset.

But later, her imaginary partner disappeared, leaving her alone, squatting in space with her legs curled up and her knees hugged.

She looked up at the starry sky, and countless humans passed by her on surfboards.

She tried to wave to these passers-by, but no one responded.

At this time, she already knew the truth. She just looked like a human, but she was not of the same race.

She felt endless loneliness, and there was only one obsession left in her heart about life: to live. If she was destined to die, she should not let her existence disappear completely, and she had to leave something in this universe.

The final scene was no longer a fantasy, as almost everyone had seen it.

She first heard another sound in her body, knowing that she was pregnant, and then the door was broken.

She turned around and saw Bill Clayston's angry and twisted face.

...

After watching Tong Ling take the embryo out of her body, her unwilling consciousness finally sank into darkness with a sigh of relief.

The information in just one day succinctly and concisely encompassed Tang Yingqu's short life.

This was a boring, monotonous life with almost no hope.

As a lone individual in the universe, a single race, she had dreamed of many beautiful things and longed to live like a human. But as time went by, she gradually recognized the reality, broke away from the fairy tale cognition she had constructed, gave up more and more unattainable dreams, and only kept the simplest pursuit to keep her lonely race alive. From

then on, Tang Yingqu's life curve had only a trunk, no branches.

This is the thinking stage that any normal single-race intelligent life must enter after entering adulthood and mastering the correct cosmic cognition, that is, the three views.

Just like those colonial transformers who are still wandering around in the galaxy, trying every means to survive.

Among the colonial transformers, there are individuals like the White Elephant who have reintegrated into human civilization, individuals like the ancestor of the Long-Armed Man who hope to change the human form and leave their own traces, and individuals who endure continuous weakening and split themselves again and again in order to prolong their lives. There are even transformers who, after a large number of experiments, determined that high temperatures are more suitable for prolonging their lives, and asked for help from humans, and finally drilled into the lava planet, just to live one more day.

But no matter how the transformers choose, the ultimate goal is only one, either to live longer, or to pin their hopes of living longer on others.

After reading Tang Yingqiao's life memory, both the first generation of fleet members who survived the catastrophe, and the second and third generations who learned that they would not be judged and had a chance to survive, fell into a long silence.

People feel that compared to the colorful lives of others, Tang Yingqiao seems to be the most miserable one.

Even those who were forced to participate in the Nuwa Plan lived much better than her.

"Everyone." A deep male baritone broke the silence. It was Zhou Donglai who was supposed to be asleep.

Due to his special self-positioning, after Solent Cage's insanity and Ophiroth Cage's death, Zhou Donglai has now become the highest spiritual leader of the Free Will Alliance.

But in the hearts of the crew members who support the expedition plan, because Zhou Donglai did not participate in the parliamentary coup and armed unrest, and is still Qin Guang's student, his reputation was not seriously damaged.

Tong Ling is not good at using words to control people's hearts, and now Zhou Donglai's words have become the most important.

Zhou Donglai said.

"Instructor Tong wants to tell us that there are two kinds of freedom, small freedom and big freedom. Small freedom is personal freedom. Big freedom is the freedom of civilization and race. Free races can reproduce freely in the universe, without oppression, without being threatened, without having to hide, and without worrying about being destroyed at any time and anywhere." "

Small freedom is the freedom that we in the Free Will Alliance have always been self-righteous. We want to do whatever we want, we are unwilling to accept the constraints imposed on us by the collective, and we demand unlimited personal freedom of choice. But when personal freedom and civilizational freedom conflict, we selfishly choose indulgence."

"We doubt history, do not acknowledge history, and use self-deception to paralyze ourselves and forget the strength of the enemy. We tell ourselves that the universe is so big that we will have a place to hide if we escape. In fact, we are wrong. Such a powerful instructor Tong is still ready to sacrifice at any time. What qualifications do we have to say that we can definitely survive?"

"Even if we can really survive in other galaxies, it can only be because our compatriots in the Milky Way have not given up resistance. Humans in the Milky Way pursue true freedom! All personal freedoms must be based on the freedom of the race. As an old Chinese saying goes, if the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached!"

"We were wrong. We have caused serious damage to the fleet. Even a death sentence is justifiable. But there is an old Chinese saying that it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. We should thank Instructor Tong Ling for giving us the opportunity to reform ourselves."

"We still have more than 70 years to reach our destination. As long as everyone can abandon prejudices, stop having wild thoughts, work more efficiently, stop caring about so-called talents and so-called hobbies, and keep telling themselves that what I do is what I love most and give full play to my full potential, then we still have a chance to make amends."

"In addition, I also make an announcement as the acting commander-in-chief. All former staff members of the Nunu Project can freely change their industries as long as they can obtain S-level potential evaluation in other fields. At the same time, some personnel who have reached the upper limit of their personal potential in other fields can also participate in the Nunu Project from scratch at any time. Everyone in our Nameless Fleet has the opportunity to be both a scholar and a warrior."

"When we set out, we selected the elite of the entire empire. To this day, we will still be the elite among the elite!"

Zhou Donglai's words perfectly complemented the memories of Tang Yingqiao shared by Tong Ling, and sowed seeds in the hearts of the prisoners in the prison ship.

After the end of the doomsday suppression program, the prisoners were not released immediately. Instead, as Zhou Donglai said, everyone's talent was retested, and more comprehensive basic knowledge teaching was provided to some people who wanted to freely choose their careers.

But the amazing thing is that the number of practitioners of the Nuwa Project has not decreased, but more people have tried to contact it from scratch.

...

"Teacher, it's over. This is the fleet loss report, please take a look."

In Qin Guang's room, Zhou Donglai placed a paper top-secret report in front of Qin Guang who had just woken up.

After a long time, Qin Guang sighed, "Alas, too many people died, and our technology has stagnated for many years."

The development of things was very similar to his original arrangement. He knew that it would end like this, but he thought there would be fewer casualties and underestimated the degree of loss of control.

The old Qin Guang rubbed his swollen temples, "It's my fault."

"Teacher, it's not your fault."

"No, I made the plan, and I'm the top person in charge, so of course I should take the responsibility. I'm indeed not as good as Marshal Tang Tianxin, let alone the ancient philosophers. I didn't expect that someone would actually go and assassinate Tang Yingqu. If Instructor Tong Ling hadn't arrived in time, it would have been all over. And, if Instructor Tong hadn't been able to read Tang Yingqu's memory and use Tang Yingqu's memory to make your words more persuasive, our productivity would have been even more severely damaged. Also, judging from the results, these things could have been avoided. I've been too careless and ignored the importance of ideological construction."

The master and the apprentice were chatting when reports rang in their communicators at the same time.

General Solent Cage, who had just regained his sanity, chose to commit suicide by drinking a bullet.

The master and his apprentice were stunned.
