The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 22 Inflated Wisdom

While speaking, a group of people had already arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. Only when they stood on the island and looked at the building in front of them did they feel its magnificence and shock.

This is a tower building with five floors above and below. A vertical plaque "Hanging Pot Tower" is hung on the central axis of the second floor.

The canopy that looks like a banyan tree from a distance is actually the top floor of the tower, and the linear connections that hang down like air roots are actually the energy connection pipes between the canopy and each layer, which can be vaguely seen from the outside The five-color fluorescence in the translucent pipe is very similar to the energy pipe connected to the geothermal switch that Cui Xingmeng and Yuan Yizhou saw in the Seed Hotel.

At this time, the door on the first floor of the tower opened, and a person who looked like the moon and the breeze walked towards them from a distance. Cui Xingmeng was the first to recognize that the person who came was her seed keeper, Shui Zaitian.

"Heaven, why are you here?" Cui Xingmeng has always been familiar with him, not to mention that this little handsome man is also her custodian, which made her a little closer.

"Miss Xingmeng, this is my main workplace." Shui Zaitian was also very happy to see Cui Xingmeng, "I only stayed at the cultivation center for a few days because you just came here and needed to complete your transformation there."

"Elder Bao Xi has been waiting for you in Jishi Hall for a long time," Shui Zaitian continued, "Mr. Yizhou, Miss Xingmeng, please follow me."

"Is he your custodian? What does a custodian do?" Yuan Yizhou asked Cui Xingmeng in a low voice, "How many days has he guarded you?"

"Yeah, your wife is popular with handsome guys everywhere," Cui Xingmeng winked at Yuan Yizhou, "You'd better keep an eye on me, don't lose me." As he spoke, he touched Yuan Yizhou's cheek Put a stamp on it to appease the jealous fiancé.

"However, I don't really know what the custodian does. After I woke up in the cultivation center, my mind was very confused. I guess the barrage of questions frightened him. When their elders came, he disappeared. , After that, this was the first time I saw him." Cui Xingmeng recalled, "The scene in our room at the Seed Hotel, you heard from the receptionist that he also set it up, and our breakfast. Since he said it was his The main workplace, you should go in and have a look.”

While whispering to each other, the two followed the crowd and filed into the Jishi Hall on the first floor of the Xuanhu Pagoda.

As soon as they entered the Jishi Hall, the first thing that caught Cui Xingmeng and Yuan Yizhou's attention was a huge circular screen suspended in the center of the circular hall. The screen was densely covered with pixel-like progress bars, and the color of each progress was slightly different. Different, Cui Xingmeng found that there are mainly three colors: white, yellow and purple.

This place is completely different from the cold and sparsely populated scene of Mars that the two have visited in the past few days. The whole hall is surrounded by this suspended circular screen, and there are many workbenches distributed. There is a person busy in front of each workbench.Directly below this circular screen is a circular console, and standing in the center of the console, contemplating deeply, is Elder Bao Xi.Hearing the sound of people entering the hall, Elder Bao Xi raised his head and nodded to everyone, but he didn't intend to come.

"So your custodians are clones?" Yuan Yizhou pointed at these workbenches and said to Cui Xingmeng.Only then did Cui Xingmeng notice that the staff at the workbench in the hall looked exactly like Shui Zaitian! !It's just that the color is a little different, only Shui Zaitian's skin is blue, and everyone else is white!
"What's going on? Zaitian, why do you have so many... twin brothers..." Cui Xingmeng didn't say the word cloning after all, she felt that it was a blasphemy against Shuizaitian.

At this time, Elder Yan took advantage of Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng's inattention, and gave Ye Qinghe and Shui Zaiang a wink. The two understood, and Shui Zaitian responded to Cui Xingmeng's question, "Miss Xingmeng, do you want to take a look at these things of mine?" What are the twin brothers doing? Let me show you around my work area, they are also seed custodians."

Seeing that Cui Xingmeng did not refuse, Shui Zaitian led Cui Xingmeng towards the workbench area.Seeing that Cui Xingmeng was still in his field of vision in the hall, Yuan Yizhou didn't follow.Instead, he turned his attention to the center of the hall. He knew that he was the one who was invited by the two elders for this trip to the think tank. Obviously there were some things that they didn't want Xingmeng to be there.Seeing that Cui Xingmeng had been dragged away by Shui Zaitian, Elder Bao Xi walked out from the ring operating platform and walked slowly towards Yuan Yizhou.

Walking directly opposite Yuan Yizhou, Elder Bao Xi didn't rush to speak, but carefully sized up the earthling who looked exactly like him. Elder Cang Xi said that he was very similar to himself, and he probably didn't mean his appearance.

The seeds of the Shiyi Earth Experiment did carry the original genes of himself and Elder Cang Xi, but the evolutionary results of each generation have more or less genetic defects, and the brain neuron connections are not too prominent.If the Yuan Yizhou in front of him is really like what Ye Qinghe said, with the help of Zhu Yu, he can achieve 100% brain neuron connection, then he does have the hardware conditions to enter the Realm of the Real Void.

The question is, whether his software cultivation such as his pattern and mind can control the hardware conditions, or will he have the same side effects as Ying Zheng, this is a question that he and Elder Yan must figure out today.

"What are the two elders worried about?" Yuan Yizhou cut to the chase.

"What does Mr. Yuan think of wisdom and civilization?" Elder Bao Xi asked back.

"Intelligent civilization tends to self-destruct." Yuan Yizhou said bluntly. Last night, Xingmeng had talked with him in detail about how she and Elder Bao Xi traveled together on Mount Olympus, especially the cooling star core. It is the source of the countdown to the civilization of Mars, which made Xingmeng very sad, and Yuan Yizhou comforted her for a long time with a sense of fate and sympathy for the civilization of Mars.

"Let's listen to it." Elder Bao Xi was noncommittal.

"Actually, the cooling of the star core is only an external cause, not the culprit that caused your civilization to enter the countdown." Yuan Yizhou said coldly, "It is your own highly developed technology and expanding wisdom that really sounded the death knell for the Martian civilization. "

"Inflated wisdom?" Elder Bao Xi was very interested in this word and repeated Yuan Yizhou's words.

"From yesterday to now, I've only seen the leopard. If I make wild guesses, what Elder Bao Xi didn't want to mention to Xingmeng, the darkest time in the history of Mars should be the period of unprecedented development of Martians' wisdom and technology. "Yuan Yizhou continued to talk eloquently, "In this period, the inflated wisdom has played the role of the god of his own life. If I guessed correctly, this is the ivory tower of the Martians, giving Martian civilization the hope of another chance."

Bao Xi looked at him silently for a long time, and then asked, "Do you think people on Earth will do better? Do you have this hope?"

"I don't know, but at least we still have a chance to change this ending. From this perspective, we are willing to become this hope." Yuan Yizhou said leisurely.

"If one day you had to choose between your lover and the common people, how would you choose?" Bao Xi asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Yuan Yizhou didn't answer immediately, he turned his gaze to Cui Xingmeng in the hall, and said slowly, "I don't know what you mean by common people, Xingmeng's excellence and fraternity are far above me, she is my lover, It is also my common life, and I am willing to protect everything she cares about!"

Bao Xi and Elder Yan exchanged glances, then turned to Ye Qinghe and said, "Their training will start here."

Ye Qinghe nodded, and called Cui Xingmeng, who was still watching around in the hall and Shuizaitian, "Miss Xingmeng, come here, we are going upstairs."

Cui Xingmeng heard Ye Qinghe calling her, and asked loudly, "What are you doing upstairs?"

"Take you and Mr. Yizhou to visit our ivory tower on Mars!"
