"The company has indeed taken action, and these announcements are indeed in line with their rules."
It was almost early in the morning, and only the moonlight shone on the river.
Half-reclined on the deck chair on the bow deck, Somo pulled the tablet in his hand and read the translated messages one by one.
As a small transparent company that was able to start from scratch and almost disappeared, it gradually developed into one of the three giants across Blue Star. The core of the company's survival is the strict and almost perverted regulations.
But this is not surprising. Any company that can be big and strong and has been around for hundreds of years, a time-honored brand, or even a humble family store, has some rules that may seem strange to outsiders.
Rules are rules of conduct.
With a code of conduct, uncontrollable risks can be suppressed to an acceptable level.
And a giant like an enterprise that has stood firm for hundreds of years must have various rules that are daunting.
The current temptation seems to be child's play, even copying the operating rules of the Gopher Sanctuary.
However, Sumo is very clear that once the company realizes the true shape of the wasteland, what everyone will see at that time is the real company.
A super technological force that can conquer the lower third of the vast planet!
Of course, having said that, there is no need to be too unreasonable. Sumo is not very worried about the future.
Compared to alien enemies, the threat from human companies is obviously smaller.
Although Hulai City is a city under the rule of enterprises, enterprises are far from being summarized by Hulai City.
Now as long as Adam is restrained from using "goodwill help", there is no need to worry about more Blue Star natives being sent to the wasteland by the game.
Just for the current situation, Sumo asked himself whether he was confident enough to handle it.
The premise is.
"Yi Xi, please don't come out and cause trouble for me this time."
Sumo thought, as footsteps came from beside him, he gently pressed the side button of the tablet to let The screen enters the screen-off state.
The left foot and the right foot landed on the ground at different times and with different intensity.
Sumo turned his head, and it turned out to be Luo You.
Two days have passed since the discovery of the Faith Stone, and Luo You has completely emerged from the previous shadow.
He was holding two cups of hot tea in his hands. Steam was steaming from the rim of the cup, and fine water droplets were hanging on the edge of the wall.
"It's windy at night, let's have a drink."
Sumo nodded and took the tea cup. The water in it was still a little hot.
Although this temperature is not suitable for brewing Yunwu tea, as it will destroy the precipitation of theophylline, it is quite suitable for keeping cold away.
"Are you busy? Do you mind if I sit here for a while and chat?"
Luo You said with a smile, his face radiant under the light of the light yellow fish lantern.
Perhaps it was because he had never encountered a survivor who was living outside the basics, and had never been in contact with the upper world of the wasteland. In the past two days, he always took the opportunity to communicate with Somo whenever he had time, and eagerly absorbed some new knowledge.
“You’re done, sit down.”
Somo blew on the rim of the cup and took a sip.
Except for the fact that Luo You always likes to answer some questions about the 'territory' in a roundabout way, and then shows disbelief after getting the answer, which is annoying, Sumo is still happy to answer the rest of the questions.
No, this process should not be regarded as a one-way answer, but more like a profound and enlightening exchange.
Just like the subtle and complex electrochemical reactions between cells, it seems to be the most exquisite poem in nature. Every pulse of electric current contains the mystery of life and the true meaning of aesthetics.
In this strange land that spans the world and the star field, the correct answers to countless questions are not concentrated on a single independent 'individual'.
There is a thread that affects everything.
One side of the line is the human individual, and the other side of the line is the answer.
It may be that scientists like Lu Kuan, Ai Jianfeng, and Ji Yang find their own research direction and finally successfully develop a cross-era product that changes everything.
This product is the answer on the other side of the line.
It may also be that Su Deben, Feng Long, Qiao Yuansheng, and Chen Shen found their own direction of struggle, struggled until death, and left behind great achievements.
This feat worthy of being written into the history books is also the answer.
Of course, the answer may also be Nobita Nobita's twisting rope, or the dark forest theory that Luo Ji shouted loudly.
But in short, no one can solve all the answers by himself.
This has been tested by Sumo through actions a long time ago.
So far, with the help of psionic water and attributes, his various knowledge theories have basically reached the end of the extension of human beings on earth.
It can be said that if he returns to Earth now, even if he goes to any university, any academic institution, or any country, he can immediately become a top expert in a certain industry.
And he is not just a showman, he is a real subject master who can stand the test!
Sounds awesome, Sumo once thought that he could go a long way in his research, or at least break through the many barriers that plague humans on earth.
However, he soon discovered that he was quite wrong.
His "awesomeness" is something that any junior artificial intelligence can perfectly copy.
It's even better than him in some aspects. It can answer complex chain questions in just a few seconds, and even answer different questions from a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people at the same time.
This is not an innovation at all, but a mechanical summary.
It's like finding countless correct answers on the other end of the line, and finally memorizing all of them.
To do innovative biological research, Sumo found that his mind was in chaos.
Although there are various ideas, these ideas are ultimately not enough to support him in completing his research. Instead, they will greatly affect the development of the current territorial technology tree.
To conduct a rigorous physics experiment, Sumo found himself very anxious.
He simply couldn't bear to lock himself in the laboratory for a week, a month, or half a year, repeatedly performing various simple but tedious actions to find the final correct answer.
And so on, even if Sumo has realized that he has now found one end of the line, and has the ability to go to the other end of the line to find the final answer.
But he also knows that it will be difficult for him to reach the end. He needs to exert ten times a hundred times of perseverance, but he may not succeed.
In fantasy novels, there is a very appropriate word to describe this state.
Going against the grain.
What exactly is heaven?
Sumo believed that if he could know the answer to this question, then he would be confident in explaining why the system would eventually choose him to be the host among trillions and trillions of human beings.
Just like he now knows that the end point of Luo You's line segment is the alien language master, the system also absolutely knows where the end point of his line segment is!
"It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you about the problem during the day." Luo You sat down, drank a sip of tea and felt warm: "To be honest, you guessed it right, I I have asked many people this question. I asked them what is the point of continuing to live in such a difficult and unfamiliar world, in a hellish wasteland with no future in sight? Indeed, many people think that I am a person when they hear this question. They are mentally ill, and some even want to beat me, and there are quite a few of them.”
After hearing this, Su Mo chuckled.
This guy really deserves a beating, running around in the wasteland asking philosophical questions to the survivors.
Even if this kind of problem is placed in modern times on earth, how many people can clearly explain the meaning of life.
What can I do if I don’t live? Is it possible to die now?
So Sumo didn't bother to answer his question at that time. He only asked how many people had beaten him when he asked this question.
But at noon Luo You was still insisting that he had never been beaten before, and after half a day he finally couldn't help it anymore.
“During that time, I was really a little confused. I didn’t know what the meaning of living was. I felt that everything I did was meaningful, but also meaningless. I even thought about establishing a business in the wasteland. So what about the new home, even if we return to the earth, after experiencing the supernatural power of the route, can most people return to the ordinary life before?"
"To be honest? To be honest, these issues are not philosophical issues, at least I don’t think he should be included in them.”
“This is a very real social issue. Even if we only live for strength, we still need one. Target.”
After Luo You finished speaking, he took a sip of tea:
"Of course, it's okay if you don't plan to answer my question. I don't even know the answer to the question, so I'm just asking here. I also understand why. Thinking about this problem may bring you some unnecessary troubles, but people are always tormenting themselves in life, right?”
“I like the languages of aliens. The symbols they shout out are like The formulas written by mathematicians are as beautiful as the theorems we discover in the universe. Can you understand how I feel? When I hear those characters with unknown meanings shouted out of their mouths, I feel that in my genes Something is touched, and I can’t wait to study it, analyze it, and understand it.”
“But the more I understand, the more confused I feel.”
"I understand what the meaning of these things is, and what kind of changes will it make if I study it? Looking up at the starry sky of this world, I only feel my own insignificance. I am not the human Su Shen. My behavior It will not have any impact on this land, and I am not even sure whether I will die unexpectedly in the next disaster.”
"If it weren't for your appearance that gave me the meaning of studying these things, I would almost collapse. I feel like I have entered a dead end and will soon reach the end of my death."
Luo Yu's explanations are getting faster and faster, and his words are very dense.
Sumo listened silently. He actually understood as early as noon that Luo You needed a meaning of struggle.
Why do you live? What is the future of humanity on earth?
The answers to these two questions may be the key to recruiting geniuses.
After all, ordinary people may not be able to reach the answer corresponding to their own line segment throughout their lives. Some people may even be unable to find their own line segment and cannot start the direction they are good at.
Naturally, they will not pursue the answers to these questions.
Only those geniuses who have opened their own lines and are pursuing answers will need meaning.
“What are you living for?”
Suma replied with a smile without thinking: “Live for the answer you seek.”
"What do you mean?" Luo You frowned, holding the teacup in his hand tightly.
Based on his close understanding in the past two days, he knew that Somo was not that disgusting Riddler who kept answering old questions with new questions, always creating suspense and mystery.
One is one, two is two.
Writing a suspense novel may involve using the Riddler technique, but answering the questions needs to be as simple and understandable as possible.
Whenever he throws out an answer, he will definitely explain it to the point where even a fool can understand it.
Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but overall it shouldn't be too different.
"Why does Lao Zhang live?"
"Him?" Luo You thought for a moment: "Live for all kinds of desires that cannot be fulfilled in modern times."
Lao Zhang is a common man.
In the past two days of contact, he often said bluntly that he wanted several beautiful wives, a large manor, and a life like a master.
He wanted to eat and pour a bowl in the wasteland without having to worry about various practical problems.
He also wanted to be a philanthropic person, so that refugees a few kilometers away would be grateful for his kindness.
For this reason, Lao Zhang chose to get on the Somo boat without hesitation.
In his opinion, the end point of this boat may not be his goal, but it can always bring the distance closer.
He never worried about why he lived. Even if Luo You mentioned it, Lao Zhang happily replied: "I just live to live, to live better."
It makes no sense, it’s not level, it doesn’t make sense.
“Then you don’t have desires that cannot be fulfilled in modern times?”
“Yes.” Luo You admitted without hesitation: “I do want our family to live a good life. , but I will not admit that the meaning of my life is just for this, it is not enough.”
“Continue with what?”
"Desire, is this the only thing you have?"
"Of course there is." Luo You replied without thinking.
“There’s nothing bad to say. Although I don’t want to marry more than one wife, I do want to find my lover. She lost contact when the wasteland just came a year ago. So far, I still can’t. I don’t know whether she is alive or dead.”
“I want to see my two children get married and start a family. It would be best if I could have grandchildren, and the family could sit together happily and live in the wasteland. New Year."
"I want a big villa, a big laboratory, and a dozen assistants. After all, my work and research projects are quite troublesome, and it is always inconvenient to be alone. There is also a chef who can cook whatever I want right away.”
"I want to acquire the abilities of the aliens. Speaking of which, when I studied their language, I thought about how great it would be if one day I could use those strange magics like the aliens."
"."
As he spoke, Luo You suddenly stopped.
He still has many desires, so many that he can talk about them from now until tomorrow morning without repeating them. For example, when he returns to a certain class in elementary school, he tells him in advance that he must pee as a child during this break. , otherwise you will pee your pants and be so embarrassed that the whole school will know about it.
“But again, I don’t think these are the meaning of supporting my life, they are just some regrets. How can life be without some regrets? There are some in the past, some now, and there will still be some in the future.”< br>
"Look, isn't this the answer?"
"What?"
"You said it yourself. How can life be without some regrets? In my opinion, your life is Isn’t the purpose of going down to have no regrets?”
“Huh?”
Luo You was stunned and couldn’t get around this corner at first.
But soon, he reacted suddenly, and there was an almost imperceptible strange color in his eyes.
He raised his head and looked at Somo, only to see that the latter had stood up from the recliner, still mumbling and repeating
"Everyone's answer is different, we all have different answers. Living for the answer!”
