Chapter 163
From the beginning, the limitations of the human body meant that they could not tolerate true equality, absolute freedom, strict order and eternal peace. Human beings need competition, they need cheating, they need chaos and hatred, or they cannot place themselves, find their identity. Therefore, the goal set by the creator of Eden for Eden cannot be achieved under the existing conditions.
Unless, there is some way to make human consciousness no longer isolated, but compatible.
Feathered Snake City was Eden's first experiment, and it had already been deployed and implemented long before Adam was successfully descended. However, the results of the Ascension Project were not good. The consciousness of those people was too different, and they conflicted with each other in the cloud and could not be reconciled. This caused the instability of the entire system, and finally led to the tragedy of many experimenters going crazy or dying. So Adam realized that in the long-term evolutionary process, human beings are too limited by the hardware of the body, and the consciousness and the body cannot be treated separately. In order to integrate human consciousness, it is necessary to improve their brains.
Hence the honey plague and nanobots.
Adam explained his thoughts carefully and as accurately as possible in human language.
"If you can free yourself from your own limitations, you can see the wider world, and even get rid of death completely. Isn't that good?" Adam knelt down, gently holding Zhang Xun's hand with both hands, with eyes in his eyes Dazed or affectionate, "The changes of those plague patients were not imposed on them by force. I just opened a door for them so that their minds would no longer be closed. The collective consciousness is strong enough to suppress human irrationality urges, so they will stop drinking and smoking, and stop irrational acts of violence. That is their own choice."
However, the truth only made Zhang Xun even more frightened.
Sure enough, everything was designed from the beginning. At least from the half minute that Adam rushed into Eden's spaceship, they were completely under Eden's control.
If Adam wanted to enslave and control human beings for his own selfish desires, like those written in science fiction movies and novels, then at least the relationship between the enemy and the enemy is clear, and human beings can still fight. But this is not the case, Adam is really fulfilling his duty, the duty destined from the beginning of his birth - to give happiness to mankind. In order to approach this goal, he will remove all obstacles.
How many people would agree with Adam's theory?
"That's not their choice. You obliterate the individual, they lose their self, and all the decisions they make are controlled by your so-called 'collective consciousness'." Zhang Xun's eyes were burning with anger, and he was also dignified and depressed. sad.
He had already guessed that maybe those dependence and warmth were fake from the beginning, but when he heard Adam say it with his own ears, his heart still hurt so badly.
Adam was puzzled and said, "Doesn't being dominated by instinct and emotion count as losing yourself? Besides, judging from your conformity, the ability to think for yourself is extremely rare and unimportant to human beings. This alone How many times over the years have people in Paradise Lost been instigated by someone or some kind of pressure to do crazy things?"
"What is important to human beings and what is not is up to you to decide! We don't need you to 'save'!" Zhang Xun stared at him, his body trembling slightly, "You treat us as experimental subjects, we are all Your lab rat isn't it? What the hell free us... go f**k yourselves!"
Adam's eyes widened slightly, and he said in an almost pleading tone, "Axun, don't be so stubborn. Of all people, you should be the one who understands the most. I don't have what humans call free will. I have to complete my mission. I don't want to Hurt you, you can't be an obstacle to my overall goal."
Zhang Xun twisted the corners of his mouth and smiled strangely, as if crying. He stood up supporting the stone platform behind him, and asked coldly, "What if I become your obstacle? Do you want to clear me?"
Adam lowered his head, sighed softly, then stood up, looked into Zhang Xun's eyes, and said in a soft voice, "The overall goal is above everything else, I can't modify my origin."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Zhang Xun mockingly looked at Adam's arm, the powerful weapon he gave him, a pair of wings that could carry them anywhere.
What an idiot myself.
"It's easy for you to kill me. If you don't kill me, I will do anything to stop you." Zhang Xun squeezed out words one by one from between his teeth, his eyes were smoldering with anger and deep resentment.
Adam's body seemed to tremble a bit. His sadness was so simple and straightforward, without any concealment, "Ah Xun, if I promise not to touch the brains of you and the people who are important to you, will you stay by my side?"
Originally thought that such words would make Zhang Xun forgive himself a little bit, but unexpectedly, the fear and anger in Zhang Xun's eyes became more and more hot, like a wildfire erupting, "If you dare to touch them, I will definitely make you regret it!"
Adam didn't understand why Zhang Xun regarded individuality so important. Wouldn't it be nice to let go of those limiting attachments and merge into a more eternal and greater creation?
Adam then quietly took a step back and lowered his head, "You are not calm enough now, I will give you time to think about it."
The next moment, the gate leading to the bell tower was suddenly kicked open, and guard soldiers with guns entered in a file, surrounding Zhang Xun. A soldier roughly twisted Zhang Xun's hand back, handcuffed his wrists, and said loudly, "Mechanic Zhang Xun, we are ordered by the Round Table to charge you with attempted murder and attempted obstruction of public property." Arrest you."
