Chapter 227 Unsolvable Questions
Du Ming is very satisfied with his current life. As the Creator God of one world, he enjoys the blessing of being equal to all people. According to the Buddhist saying, if you suffer in this life and enjoy blessings in the next life, I am afraid that no matter how much suffering you suffer in this life, you will not be able to bear this kind of blessing in the next life.
"Actually, in this millennium, we discovered the existence of the soul."
"Soul?" Du Ming repeated, outlining the concept that civilization has a soul, but it has never been confirmed that it exists. It seems that the real world has developed rapidly in the past thousand years.
"Yes, the soul is the basis for judging whether a person is alive or dead. If there is no soul, it is a corpse. If there is a soul, it is a living person. Feitian Company said that it can make people live for two hundred years. It means that after two hundred years, people will die and their souls will go to the underworld."
Jiang Li didn't lie to Du Ming, he did quite a lot of research on the soul, this is the conclusion he came up with.
The soul is closely related to the ability to think. Without a soul, it is not necessarily impossible to have the ability to think. To have a soul must have the ability to think.
The remnants of Layman Dameng belong to the ability to think, but not the soul.
Yin-Yang Tianyin Dianhua Lingbao is to endow souls with prototypes, make them have the ability to think, and become real souls after a period of time.
Several years have passed now, and those spirit treasures that have been enlightened have real souls.
It can be seen that the ability to think is the prerequisite for the formation of the soul.
The outlining civilization has not yet developed enough to give the program the ability to think. This is a creation out of nothing, the power to create a soul, and it is impossible to do this if it is not at the immortal level, so the virtual personality is a program.
"You mean that Du Ming is indeed dead, and now I am Du Ming's avatar, and my current behavior is a program?" Du Ming's pupils shrank slightly, shocked by the news, but he quickly returned to normal, only with a hint of loss in his tone.
"Sure enough, I thought I belonged to another way of living, but I didn't expect..." Du Ming shook his head, "No, it's not unexpected, it's just that I deliberately didn't think about it."
"It's gone?" Bai Hongtu stared.
Bai Hongtu thought about how Du Ming would react when he found out the truth about his death. He might be thinking chaotically, yelling, or tearing his heart apart.
But I never thought it would be so plain, as plain as drinking a glass of plain water.
"If you die, you die. Anyway, the real Du Ming died, and I'm not the real Du Ming." Du Ming shrugged.
"And the real Du Ming was mentally prepared before entering the virtual world. He died without regret. If time was turned back, he would still make the same choice."
Jiang Li didn't know how to refute. Standing in Du Ming's position, he couldn't make a better choice for Du Ming.
Du Ming is the epitome of hundreds of millions of sketchers.
"The thing that surprised me the most was not the death, but the real existence of a soul." Du Ming said, although he is a virtual personality, judging from his reaction, he is no different from the real Du Ming.
"Have you ever thought about why we outlined the existence of the soul in the last thousand years of civilization, and there was already a concept of the soul before that?"
The knowledge of civilized people is generally profound. Even though Du Ming is not highly educated and can only work as a small employee, he has learned about humanities and society in school, and has thought about these issues in depth.
Du Ming expressed his point of view: "Because what humans fear is not death, but the loss of consciousness."
"Ashes return to ashes, ashes return to ashes, death is like a lamp going out, and everything disappears. Human beings are afraid of this situation. That's why they fantasize about souls, thinking that people will still be conscious after death, and give the living a little comfort."
Du Ming laughed: "I didn't expect that souls really exist. Knowing this news, on the contrary, gave me a feeling of unexpected joy."
"I don't have consciousness, I can only act according to the program, but consciousness is a very empty thing, even if you say I don't have consciousness, I still feel that I am conscious, at most it is a little irritating."
Du Ming watched it openly, leaving Jiang Li and the two speechless.
"I remember you said that Feitian Company forced you to work, so you think the virtual world is beautiful. If you can find your love easily by working in the real world, you don't even need to work. Would you choose to stay in the virtual world for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Li has checked Du Ming's position in Feitian Company, contacting the technological level of Outline Civilization, this position can be completely replaced by a robot.
The Feitian company not only does not use robots to ease the work, but deliberately increases Du Ming's burden.
This is forcing Du Ming to come to the virtual world.
Jiang Li also discovered that most of the duties of outlining civilization are redundant and can be done by machines.
Du Ming thought for a while, and said: "After struggling for a while, I will still come to the virtual world. No matter how free the real world is, there is no freedom in the virtual world. In my world, I can play with the world at will, create everything, and adjust the time. Every minute that passes outside, I can live a hundred years in the virtual world. Compared with reality, the virtual world is more attractive to me."
"If I find someone I like in reality, I can also pull her into the virtual world. There are more ways to play in the virtual world."
The two were silent. It seemed that Feitian Company deliberately increased the workload of people, just to speed up the process of implementing the euthanasia plan. Even if it is not aggravated, people will consciously choose to enter the virtual world sooner or later.
This is an unsolvable problem.
The holographic simulator firmly grasps the hearts of the people and makes people have to accept it.
From a personal point of view, no one can reject the virtual world. If Jiang Li did not have the status of Emperor when he first crossed, and he was not in the Mahayana period, he would probably stay in the virtual world for the rest of his life.
Only the ruling class who stand on the overall level, consider the overall situation, and want to advance civilization, have the reason to reject the virtual world.
The ruling class that outlines civilization, Feitian Company, which should have considered the overall situation, is the one who personally contributed to this result.
So it is an inevitable result to outline the civilization as a whole and enter the virtual age.
Is it deplorable or gratifying?
The two bid farewell to Du Ming, and wanted to ask other people to see what they thought. After all, Du Ming was a family member.
Du Ming watched the two leave, thinking that he was just a virtual personality, a program, without the ability to think, and felt uncomfortable.
And this discomfort is also a program, not a real feeling.
He has no real feelings.
"If I am a living person, I should not be able to modify the memory, but I am a program, why can't I modify the memory?"
Du Ming did it when he thought of it, and found that he could really modify his memory, so he deleted the memory of meeting Jiang Li.
"Huh? Why am I here?" Du Ming scratched his head and found himself in the big world, but he couldn't remember why he was here.
"Whatever, Lisdale and the others are still waiting for me."
Du Ming returned to his small world and continued to live the retired life of a brave man, carefree and carefree.
