Yan Leyang was very self-aware. He didn’t have the brain for politics, even if he traveled through time.
He couldn’t be a time-traveling hero, but he could carry a big banner. Just like he couldn’t recite the complete “Marxist Philosophy” and “Mao Zedong Thought”, but he could give a rough idea so that people could guess that he could.
Combined with the current events at the time, this “Yan Leyang” was almost joining the party on the spot. His eyes were shining when he looked at Yan Leyang, and he wished that Yan Leyang could introduce him to this “Marx”.
Of course Yan Leyang couldn’t do it. What was his identity? What was the other person’s identity? Moreover, there was no such thing as spiritual communication in this world, so spiritual communication shouldn’t be able to bring people over from his original world.
Anyway, all the words that needed to be said had been said, so Yan Leyang didn’t worry about it anymore.
He originally thought that this “Yan Leyang” would be a very big threat, at least he would have to do the six-eared macaque thing, and later in the plot he would have to do the real and fake Monkey King thing.
Now that this “Six-Eared Macaque” was loyal to Marx, he should not have the mind to cause trouble anymore, and Yan Leyang didn’t think that this guy had the means to escape.
Lang Shiyi had been in a daze. He could actually understand that those things were definitely not made up by Yan Leyang out of thin air. If Yan Leyang could make up such thoughtful and profound things out of thin air, he wouldn’t be so obsessed with staying at home every day.
But Lang Shiyi didn’t react. Yan Leyang’s anti-brainwashing ability was very strong, and his logic usually won’t be distorted. Tsk, this man was unfathomable.
“Actually, I’ve always suspected something.” Yan Leyang suddenly asked as he followed Eleph and Lang Shiyi out, “There’s no technology to bring people back from the dead now, right?”
“Yes.” The wolf nodded.
“Why?” Yan Leyang found it quite strange. After all, before they set foot in interstellar space, some people had already frozen corpses in the hope of resurrecting them in the future. It shouldn’t be that there was no breakthrough in this technology in interstellar space.
This was something Yan Leyang had never understood.
He just suddenly thought, if this technology really existed, why would the “Matrix” bother to deal with monkeys? Wouldn’t it be better to just revive the original humans?
“It’s impossible for a person to be resurrected.” Eleph said firmly, “I know you have a lot of fantastic ideas, but some of them are completely untrue.”
“Humans don’t have souls.” Lang Shiyi explained, “They are just a group of cells with different divisions of labor. Today’s technology can forge memories and even control thoughts, but it can’t bring people back to life. In fact, we are all machines, and this includes emotions, which are accessories that appear for reproduction.”
“That He Wen was able to completely replicate the memories of the original humans, which is already a pretty incredible technology for us,” Lang Shiyi explained.
Yan Leyang nodded thoughtfully, and then leaned close to Lang Shiyi’s ear and said, “But I am a time traveler, and don’t you think it’s unscientific that you can transform into beasts?”
“This really can’t be explained.” Lang Shiyi didn’t know what to say. After all, Yan Leyang’s memories could not be forged, or it was difficult to forge them.
As for the animal form, it was something they were born with.
“But the technology of our world, or even the technology of the human world, cannot bring the dead back to life.” Lang Shiyi added, “It is more likely that the ‘matrix’ is becoming more and more like a human, and perhaps he also has emotions.”
“Huh?” Yan Leyang was stunned for a moment.
“In theory, it is feasible.” Lang Shiyi was very knowledgeable in this area. “You can understand it if you imagine the cells in our body as small nanorobots with different functions and appearances.”
“Human reactions, the temperature of touch, and even emotions are not as sacred as we think. It’s just the little ‘nanobots’ in your brain that are at work.”
“Without the romantic shell, in fact, as long as we can replicate the functions of the nerve cells in our body, we can create a ‘human’. But this is too complicated, and the orc civilization cannot reach that level.” Lang Shiyi said, “I doubt even human civilization could.”
“But human civilization could even copy the person ‘He Wen’, how can we copy a person’s thinking 100%?” Lang Shiyi pursed his lips, “Obviously, the original He Wen’s brain nerves are already dead, so human technology should have been far superior to ours.”
Feelings? Yan Leyang hadn’t come back to his senses yet. According to common logic, if the “matrix” could have feelings, it would mean that as a system, it could have emotions that were no less than those of humans. But how could it have loneliness or resentment.
If they viewed the “Matrix” as a complete living organism, it seemed to explain why it violated human settings and was reluctant to shut down.
No wonder those orcs in the Matrix didn’t seem to have a very high status. Yan Leyang still remembered that Zhou Jiu wanted to give Black Shadow to him last time. It was estimated that the orcs in the Matrix weren’t having a good time.
Just at this moment, Yan Leyang’s computer rang and a message from Zhou Jiu popped up.
[Can you help me avoid the shadow?]
What you think is really what you get. Yan Leyang subconsciously looked at Lang Shiyi and Eleph.
“Just ask him why.” Eleph stroked his chin. “This black shadow is a popular candidate for the warden of Dawn Prison recently.”
Popular candidate? Yan Leyang frowned, “He got a lot of votes? But isn’t his true form a shark? Dawn is a planet on the side of the Land Carnivore Alliance, so it shouldn’t be his turn.”
“But he firmly believes that he is your carnivorous beastman. After all, his mother is a panda and the former warden. Plus, he has a bit of rhetoric skills.” Eleph shrugged, “This guy must be no simple person.”
It was already six o’clock in the morning. Eleph led Yan Leyang and the others back to the room, and Yan Leyang also replied to Zhou Jiu’s message.
[You and Black Shadow should have a very good relationship.]
When Zhou Jiu saw this response, he almost cursed out loud, but he held it back.
This man’s power was greater than he thought. Logically, all the messages he sent to this person or that person should have been public and transparent before the “Matrix” years ago, but he tried it, and the “Matrix” could not detect the messages sent by Teddy.
Now Zhou Jiu’s hands were shaking slightly as he sent the message, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Master, are you in there?” Dark shadow was outside the door. He knocked three times, and then there was no sound.
Zhou Jiu took a deep breath and yelled outside the door: “Get lost!!”
He came out to cooperate with Zhou Jiu’s work, which was said to be cooperation, but in fact it was supervision.
They supervised each other. The Matrix didn’t trust either of them very much. But there was a reason why they were put together. Black Shadow had some problems with his brain.
Black Shadow liked Zhou Jiu, and liked that Zhou Jiu was a human being.
Black Shadow was a guy with extremely low self-esteem. He was a man who even relied on his special clothes to survive. He thought he was a “beast”. Yes, he thought he was a “beast”.
He deified the existence of human beings. This guy was a bit of a masochist. However, his terrible feeling of servility was only directed at humans.
Zhou Jiu used to like Black Shadow’s personality, but now that he knew that he was not human. Whenever he saw Black Shadow, he always felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and fear, especially when he was stared at by Black Shadow.
He didn’t want to experience this inexplicable fear again, so he sent a message to the man for help.
[I want to leave the shadow. If you want me to cooperate with you, you must help me leave the shadow.]
Yan Leyang ignored his little emotions and responded coldly.
[You are not sincere, how can I help you?]
Zhou Jiu clicked his tongue, feeling a little annoyed.
[What do you want to know?! Let me first explain, you know I am not human, so most of the equipment here, the Matrix will not let me touch it.]
[I want to know the exact location of your base. This shouldn’t be difficult, right?]
After He Wen left the base, the base’s location also changed. He Wen was unable to find it, and it was said that he did not look for it much at the time.
After this message was sent, Zhou Jiu fell silent.
After a long time, just when Yan Leyang thought Zhou Jiu had given up responding, the message from Zhou Jiu came.
[Let me think about it.]
Seeing that he didn’t refuse outright, Yan Leyang raised an eyebrow, but he was too lazy to care about it anymore. He turned off the computer and looked at Lang Shiyi who had already washed up and was lying on the bed.
Lang Shiyi and Yan Leyang looked at each other. Seeing Yan Leyang staring at him, he just smiled, a little confused: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s just… I suddenly realized that you are quite open-minded.” Yan Leyang lay on top of Lang Shiyi, resting his chin on Lang Shiyi’s chest: “People’s reactions, the temperature of touch, and even emotions, are actually not that sacred, right?”
“That’s right.” Lang Shiyi thought that Yan Leyang was humbly seeking advice.
Now Yan Leyang was looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemingly containing thousands of words. If it were normal, he would have thought wrongly, but now he deeply understood that Yan Leyang himself was a pure and innocent person.
So Lang Shiyi explained to Yan Leyang: “Emotions exist so that our entire tribe can survive and reproduce better. The idea of a soul is romantic, but it’s not true.”
“What do you think about the relationship between us?” Yan Leyang tilted his head.
“I like you.” Lang Shiyi looked into Yan Leyang’s eyes seriously, “Obviously, I like you more than I thought.”
“Is that romantic?” Yan Leyang asked again.
This time, Lang Shiyi answered without thinking: “Romantic, so I am willing to be superstitious for you.”
Yan Leyang’s face darkened: “What do you mean by being superstitious for me?”
“You said last time that chrysanthemums are only given at funerals, but it is obvious that they are just the reproductive organ of a plant. The tag of auspiciousness or unluckiness is feudal superstition, including the language of flowers.” Lang Shiyi’s eyes were so affectionate.
“But for you, I am willing.” Lang Shiyi held Yan Leyang’s hand.
