Chapter 1674: The collapse of the virtual world (2/2)
Li Yao nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, the birth of life is destined not to happen overnight. Even if the evolutionary laws of the virtual world are different from the real world, even if the speed is dozens of times or hundreds of times faster, it is of no avail relative to the long years required to conceive life.
Not to mention, the fragility of the initial life is very likely to die halfway!
Ling Xiaole continued: ”A few decades ago, a research group headed by Professor Mo Xuan did try to explore related directions. They were like searching for a'primitive planet' suitable for the birth of life. A small corner of, has opened up a'virtual planet', an expansion piece dedicated to the research team, or a small'child civilization incubation pool'.
”They are trying to create virtual life in this small world called the'virtual spirit world'. Of course, they are not high-level life with self-awareness. At best, they are some, uh, similar to'virtual fungi, virtual algae, virtual trilobites.' Like, the original virtual life!
”I don't understand the principles and terminology very well, but roughly what it means. Can you understand?”
Li Yao thought for a while: ”It's like-crystal brain virus or something?”
Ling Xiaole nodded: ”Almost, but it is definitely much more advanced and complex than Crystal Brain Virus. Professor Mo Xuan hopes that these'virtual ancient creatures' can reproduce themselves, evolve slowly, and continuously upgrade, so that humans can understand the birth and evolution of'virtual life'. The mystery.”
Li Yao listened intently: ”What happened later, did you succeed?”
”No, the birth of life is mysterious and mysterious, unpredictable and manipulable. It does not mean that if all the factors that can give birth to life are gathered together, new life can be created. There are hundreds of millions of planets in the universe that can truly give birth to life. Even the most primitive fungus planet does not exceed one part per billion. Any tiny factor may cause the death of primitive life.”
Speaking of this, Ling Xiaole's expression became rather gloomy, ”Manpower is sometimes poor. How can'Creator' be so good? Professor Mo Xuan failed, and the'Void Spirit Realm' completely collapsed and turned into a barren and dead figure. The ruins were finally sealed and stored-this failed attempt was perhaps the worst blow to the new Confederation in the century since its establishment.”
Li Yao thought for a while, but still didn't understand: ”Wait, the so-called'virtual life' is originally an illusory thing. No one expected them to be born within a few decades. It was originally a cutting-edge experiment. Even if it fails, It doesn't seem to be the most severe blow, right?”
”No, the collapse of the'Virtual Spirit Realm' is nothing in itself, but it has caused several serious consequences.”
Ling Xiaole explained, ”At that time, the most important members of the ”Civilization” production team, including Professor Mo Xuan, Professor Su Changfa, and Su Changfa's disciple Lu Qingchen, all joined the'Incubation Group'——”
Li Yao blinked, ”Is this the current most wanted criminal in the Federation, Lu Qingchen, the president of the Emperor's Council?”
”Yes it is.”
Ling Xiaole said, ”He was not a bad guy from the beginning. A hundred years ago, he was the only true disciple of Su Changfa. Su Changfa was second only to Li Yao and made a great contribution to ”Civilization”, so he was in ”Civilization”. In the early days, Lu Qingchen was naturally Su Changfa's right-hand man. He was one of the core members of the ”Civilization” production team, the best content architect and virtual world creator.
”Professor Mo Xuan, Su Changfa, Lu Qingchen, together with a group of the most outstanding crystal brain experts in the Federation, jointly created the special expansion of the virtual spirit world. It was originally just a simple experiment to verify some basic Theories and laws, but somehow, the experiment went wrong and caused a serious accident.
”This accident directly led to the death of Su Changfa; then, Professor Mo Xuan was also disheartened, thinking that with the current development speed of the federation's crystal brain and the unifying spiritual web, it is impossible for a virtual life with self-awareness to be born within 500 years. In addition, we were facing military pressure from the empire, and he was forced to transfer to other fields of research, and was finally replaced by Professor Xie Wufeng.
”More importantly, the accident happened and Master's tragic death planted the seeds of rebellion in Lu Qingchen's heart. Coupled with a series of inducements, he finally fell to the real human empire and became the president of the Emperor's Proposal!
”If history can be hypothesized, maybe we can imagine that if Professor Mo Xuan was not so radical, and in an extremely immature environment, he would havetily launch the'Void Spirit Realm' experiment, Su Changfa would not die, Professor Mo Xuan I will not be discouraged, and Lu Qingchen will not be greatly stimulated and fall to the empire.
”So, will the situation in the Federation today be much better? After all, within the Federation, the'Emperor's Council' can be said to be the number one trouble!”
It turned out to be like this. I didn't expect so many things happened outside when I was asleep.
The truth of the accident that Ling Xiaole downplayed must not be so simple. Su Changfa was so dead, and even with Professor Mo Xuan, he was discouraged. It's really...
and many more!
Li Yao frowned, suddenly feeling a little strange.
Because, judging from their encounters on the Firefly, especially the rebellion launched by Ding Zhengyang and Cheng Xuansu under the instigation of Lu Qingchen in the imperial congress, Li Yao and Long Yangjun had previously analyzed that Lu Qingchen was extremely good. It may be Jin Xinyue's people who deliberately created an ”Emperor's Proposal” to attract all the cultivators in order to catch them all in one go.
But now Ling Xiaole said that Lu Qingchen fell to the empire because of the collapse of the ”Void Spirit Realm” and the tragic death of Master Su Changfa.
