In the end, I became a ghost? !

The jade pendant completely disappeared behind the big stone wall, and the big stone wall shone brightly. Even under the background of skylight and snow light, the light didn't look dim at all, nor was it too dazzling to make people uncomfortable, it was just right.

Qin Huan and Shao Zhizhi stared at the stone wall intently, and when the light faded away, the dark gray stone wall gradually turned into a smooth screen, and the light spots on the screen quickly condensed to form a tall and tall figure. female figure.When the woman saw Qin Huan and Shao Zhizhi in front of the big stone wall, a smile of surprise and relief appeared on her face. She nodded slightly to them, then tilted her head slightly, as if organizing her words.

"...Hi, hello." After a pause, the woman on the screen greeted them with a stiff and strange tone of voice, just like a foreigner speaking Chinese, although they could understand the meaning, But no matter how awkward they sounded, Qin Huan and Shao Zhizhi couldn't help showing surprise in their eyes.

This woman is very tall, and her figure in the big stone wall is nearly three meters. Her skin is very white, white and glowing, and her face looks very young and beautiful. She looks like she is in her 20s or [-]s, but there is a kind of compassion on her face. The kindness exudes the brilliance of motherhood.Qin Huan also noticed that her ears were pointed, a bit like the ears of elves in western mythology.

"Hello." Qin Huan tried to greet her, while guessing who the woman in front of her was.In Chinese mythology, there seems to be no corresponding image, and if it is not a mythical figure, Qin Huan can't imagine why the other party is in the big stone wall.

Hearing Qin Huan's words, the woman in front of her seemed very happy. She stretched out her hand and waved towards Qin Huan and Shao Zhizhi, with a slightly excited smile on her face, and her words were a little smoother than before, "Very happy I know you, I am Nuwa."

"!!!"

Qin Huan and Shao Zhi looked at her lower body subconsciously, and sure enough, the bottom of this woman's skirt did not seem to be legs, but round limbs like snake tails, but this woman's skirt was very wide and elegant, with two People don't see it very clearly, and they don't dare to make a judgment.Qin Huan and Shao Zhizhi looked at each other and were dumbfounded for a while before recovering their voice. Qin Huan asked cautiously, "Are you the Empress Nuwa who created human beings?"

"No, human beings evolved naturally. But we did contribute in some aspects." The woman who claimed to be Nuwa smiled, and she stretched out her finger to gesture, indicating that the effort was very small a little bit.

Her fingers are as white and slender as green onions, but they are very soft and flexible. What is different from ordinary people is that each of her palms has six fingers, which looks rather weird.

The ancient mythological figures appeared in front of his eyes, and Qin Huan couldn't help but believe it. After the initial dumbfounded, he organized his words and asked quickly: "'We'? This we refer to—other gods? Empress Nuwa, there are still other gods in this world. God? What is the matter with the living dead that appear now?"

"If you mean gods like us, then there used to be, and now there is only the last me. If not, then there is no one." The woman on the stone wall answered all Qin Huan's questions very graciously, " As for the living dead you mentioned, it is a mutation of a mutant virus, have you heard of the big filter?"

"You mean the big filter related to the Fermi Paradox?" Qin Huan replied hesitantly.As a young man who graduated from a university with a wide range of reading interests, Qin Xu has of course heard of this word.

The general idea of ​​the Fermi paradox is a question about the conjecture of extraterrestrial civilization.There are countless planets in the universe with similar conditions to the earth, such as temperature and humidity.According to this estimate, there should be more than one billion intelligent civilizations in the universe, and the sun is a very young star, which means that there are terrestrial planets that are much older than the earth. In theory, their civilization level should be far higher than ours. developed.It is a paradox that we have not received any clear information from any alien intelligent civilization.

As for the Fermi paradox, there is an explanation that the development of intelligent civilization will have a stage of big filter, that is, the process of a big filter of intelligent life.The Great Filter Theory holds that when intelligent life reaches the stage of Type III civilization, there is a wall that almost all life will hit. This wall is an extremely difficult or even impossible stage in the long evolution process. The stage is the big filter.

Qin Huan was moved, "Could it be said that the emergence of zombies is a process of a big filter? Is this big filter set up by you or your companions? I don't understand, since you created us, why do you want to test us? "

"No, I didn't set up this big filter, and it's not us 'gods' who test human beings." Nuwa shook her head and explained in a good-tempered manner: "In fact, we are not gods, but with you. Same human being."

"You mean, our so-called gods are all monks? Or are they high-level supernatural beings, just like us now?" Qin Xu had a surprised look in his eyes.

"It can be said that we are indeed a group of supernatural beings, but we are not contemporary supernatural beings, nor are you the so-called ancient supernatural beings. In fact, although we are also human beings and supernatural beings, we are not the same as the supernatural beings. You are not the same group of humans. Before your group of humans appeared, several groups of humans lived on this planet, at least I know of five groups, but these humans appeared again and again and became extinct again and again. They can't be found."

The golden generation, the silver generation, the bronze generation, the hero generation, the scrap iron generation, Qin Huan almost immediately remembered the description of human beings in Greek mythology, and the words of the woman in front of him were too similar to the records in the myth!

"I was one of the first group of people. I don't know if there were other human beings before our group of people appeared. Anyway, we can't find any traces. We were like you now. When the technology developed to a certain level, suddenly Living corpses appeared. At that time, almost everyone had supernatural powers. Human beings were indeed very powerful, and technology was also very powerful, but they couldn’t withstand this kind of genetically destroyed disaster. Soon, most of human beings became extinct, and We, scientists and other scholars of exceptional mental strength, survived as fire."

"Of course, this kind of preservation is also limited. We have no way to maintain the body. We can only escape from the body and survive in the form of a soul, and most of the time sleeps in the mountain with the energy field, waiting for the time to be awakened. "

Nuwa's eyes were full of nostalgia, and her eyes were empty, as if she had passed through reality, looked at the distant ancient times, and reached among her companions.

Qin Huan and Shao Zhizhi held each other's hands tightly, feeling a little heavy, Nuwa ignored them, and continued: "The catastrophe passed slowly, and the last living corpse gradually died under the corrosion of time and turned into nothingness. At this time, not only humans, but also other animals are slowly dying in various earthquakes, tsunami, and volcanic eruptions, and very few survive. At this time, we re-invest the basic genes separated from humans and look forward to a new batch of humans. Birth. I don’t know how long it took before another group of humans appeared. We watched this group change from apes to Homo sapiens and became humans. We were very excited, and we used various tools to show ourselves among the crowd, teach and help The journey of primitive humans to civilization. At this time, we have also been studying the content of technology, trying to escape the big filter that may come in the distant future."

"However, no matter how hard we try, we have not been able to overcome our destiny. After all, this group of human beings are all extinct. At this time, although our technology has made a big step forward, it is still useless."

"After this group of humans, we continued to work hard, using technology to accelerate the reproduction of various species on this planet, while warning humans, while looking for ways to escape the big filter, but unfortunately, we have been failing until your batch With the emergence of human beings, the big filter is still here as expected, and it hasn't changed at all."

"Why did the big filter appear?" Qin Huan couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, just like we still can't figure out the various mysteries of the universe, we also haven't figured out the mysteries of the Great Filter." Nuwa shook her head.

"So our current group of humans have the same origin as yours?" Shao Zhizhi asked, staring at the huge female figure in front of him.If there is no relationship between the two, and this woman is doing her best to help them, maybe they should suspect her motives.

"Of course it's the same. Your genes are derived from our genes, or you can be said to be our descendants and our continuation. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't necessarily appear and be called human beings. From species From the perspective of evolutionary contingency, intelligent creatures are not necessarily evolved from apes, but may be birds, marine mammals, or even octopuses.” Nuwa replied gently but firmly, “Don’t worry, you are ours. The descendants of you have not only inherited our genes, but also our civilization. As predecessors, we have no malice and have been helping you all the time. Without us, this catastrophe would have been even more tragic."

Seeing Shao Zhizhi and Qin Huan's slightly wary expressions, Nuwa shook her head helplessly and relievedly, "Actually, we have passed on many human concepts, such as zombies, the end of the world, and supernatural powers, aren't you surprised?" ?Everything in the human imagination is now a reality."

"It's a little strange." Qin Huan smiled sheepishly.

Nuwa didn't take it seriously, she said solemnly: "After talking about our origins for so long, now it's time to tell you the solution to this catastrophe. The spiritual power of our earliest human beings is almost exhausted. I'm the only one left, if this is the case and I can't escape the big filter and take the next step of civilization, then the genes belonging to humans will be cut off and disappear in the long river of history, and there may not be a chance to reappear."

The author has something to say: If you are interested in the content of the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter, you can go and have a look. A lot of the content here is serious nonsense, so you don’t need to research it.

There is a lot of theoretical content today, and the next chapter will send some words in the author's words.One by one, little angels who are still reading the text, thank you for your support~
