Chapter 375 Knowledge
Optimus Prime was in high spirits.
He said: "Although our life forms are different from yours, there is much in common within our lives."
He said: "During the long war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, there were brutal Decepticon members who recognized the true face of Megatron and became one of us; there were also desperate Autobots who turned to the Decepticons."
"There is a misconception that Transformers are inherently brutal when they are born. However, I don't think so. Newly born Transformers have no sense of good and evil because they have not been influenced by any thoughts. They often do things that are difficult to accept."
"This makes their behavior look similar to that of the Decepticons. So some tribesmen think that Megatron's ideas are in line with our racial characteristics - they regard brutality as our racial characteristics."
"Even some of our Autobots think so - the first born Transformers are all Decepticons."
"But I know that's because the newborn Transformers are not educated."
Jiang Shan couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh after hearing this. He said, "Although there were sages in ancient times who said 'man is born good', in fact, newborns have no sense of good and evil. Except for some people with defects in their blood or genes, most people are like this."
"They need to be in a good educational environment, receive good ideological influences, and establish correct values and life philosophies."
"A bad environment will give people distorted and disordered outlooks on life, while a good environment will give them correct and uplifting outlooks on life. Living things will form their outlooks on life no matter what. Whether they are good or bad depends on the environment they are born with."
In the original plot of the Transformers movie, it is said that the Transformers created from the energy of the Allspark are all Decepticons, and they are all brutal and ferocious.
But actually considering that Transformers are a kind of life form, it is completely understandable that the 'chaotic behavior' caused by the lack of a sense of good and evil in newborn life forms makes them look like Decepticons.
Just like human cubs, they often do some "brutal and cruel" things, such as crushing a frog to death with a giggle, or whipping a cat or dog while defecating, or scratching their mother's face until it is covered with blood, or pulling out a clump of their father's hair.
Because they don't know whether their actions are right or wrong.
The same goes for the newborn Transformers.
When they mixed with the Decepticons, they accepted the Decepticons' ideas and formed their own values, and only then did they become true Decepticons.
What we are discussing here is the acquired educational environment, which is actually the shaping of thoughts.
In this respect, Transformers are the same as humans.
"Life is 'shaped'. There is no life that is not shaped." Optimus Prime sighed: "The Creator shaped our beginning, and everything after that is shaped by ourselves."
Just like those who have rebelled against their country and nation, they turn around and complain, as if they have no freedom at all and are always being shaped like tools; but in fact, they have been shaped into another shape by something else.
He thought he was jumping out, but in fact he was jumping from one machine to another and being shaped into a different appearance.
Just like what Optimus Prime said, life is shaped, there is no life that is not shaped. But we know that we are being shaped, and we think that this kind of shaping is good, so we accept it; if we are unwilling to accept it and jump out of it, we are actually being shaped in another way.
It will always be shaped.
Jiang Shan laughed: "You should be a thinker or philosopher."
Optimus Prime shook his head and said, "I don't have time to study ideas and philosophy. These are just some of the fragmentary insights I have gained in the course of my life."
Bumblebee next to him was scratching his head: "Didn't we just talk about the source of the fire? Why are you suddenly talking about shaping? I don't understand."
Jiang Shan and Optimus Prime both laughed.
Jiang Shan said: "That's right, the source of fire is the real thing."
He asked the Autobots to make room for him, and with a wave of his hand, a huge cube-shaped source of fire appeared before his eyes.
Jiang Shan said: "This cube was previously hidden by the Americans in their secret base, but obviously, they could not crack the secret of the cube. I took it away. At that time, Megatron was next to it."
The Autobots stood up straight.
Megatron and the Americans are not worth mentioning at this moment.
The Cube is their root, and the Autobots have a wholehearted reverence for the Allspark.
Optimus Prime looked up at the sky and sighed, "I finally saw the Allspark again. We lost it for many, many years."
He said to Jiang Shan: "Thank you, my friend."
Jiang Shan stretched out his hand and gestured: "It belongs to you."
Optimus Prime walked forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the cube; a faint glow of energy bloomed, and the huge cube suddenly became half the size of a shoe box.
Optimus Prime picked up the Allspark, held it in his hand, and said, "I cannot tell you the special method of using the Allspark, my friend. But I will keep my promise. Please take an object that can carry the information of the Allspark, and I will import the Cybertron technology tree in the Allspark for you."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jiang Shan nodded: "Of course."
He stretched out his hand, and right there, a block exactly the same as the previous fire source was rubbed out.
Seeing this, the Autobots couldn't help but look back and forth between the cube created by Jiang Shan and the fire source in Optimus Prime's hand.
Jiang Shan said: "Although I have only been in contact with the Fire Source for a short time, I cannot replicate the same Fire Source; its material is too special, more special than the strong interaction material I studied, and more magical than the primitive tribal metals in Africa and the soft metals collected by the Dimensional Demon God. It also contains a shocking amount of energy."
Said: "I barely imitated and created this block. It should be able to carry the Cybertron technology tree."
The Autobots heard this and exclaimed in amazement.
Optimus Prime said: "My friend, you are definitely a great scientist!"
As he spoke, Optimus Prime held up the Allspark high and activated it using the Transformers' unique method. The Allspark emitted a strong light, which then gathered into a beam and shone on the cube created by Jiang Shan. Jiang Shan clearly saw that countless pieces of information followed the beam and sank into his cube.
After a full half hour, the block created by Jiang Shan was finally able to completely accommodate the Cybertron technology tree before it was filled with information.
Transformers are an ancient race that has developed for countless years, and their history is much longer than that of humans. Therefore, their technology tree is also much larger than that of humans.
Jiang Shan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
This is knowledge! The more you practice, the higher your realm becomes, and the more you realize the value of knowledge.
A complete technology tree of a civilization is a collection of knowledge, the essence of a civilization over a long period of time! "Thank you."
Although there was an element of transaction involved, Jiang Shan still expressed his sincere gratitude to Optimus Prime.
