How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 79: What is Civilization?

It seemed that the wanderer who had been away from home for many years finally met his elders again. Yongsong completely ignored Huo Gu and Miao's many intervening, completely immersed himself in his own world, and talked about the suffering he had suffered in his time.

"Well, the most troublesome thing still happened. It's really a wave after another."

Through the continuous narration, Huo Gu and Wei probably understood what happened.

Huo Gu was not surprised that the collector would give birth to 'wisdom'. In the ancient period, it had expected this possibility. What really surprised it was that the collector was able to complete the transformation of 'wisdom' from nothing in such a short time.

You know, it took two million years for the Terrier Apes to complete the transformation of 'wisdom' from nothing to something from the stage of Australopithecus.

Is it true that the time span of the surface has actually passed a million years?

Huo Gu was shocked by his own speculation, but it then denied the idea, because millions of years is enough to erode and destroy the containers that encapsulate it. It does not think that the quality of the containers it makes can support the span of millions of years. Since it is not out of trouble now, the surface should have no experience. Millions of years.

[Huo Gu, I want to discuss something with you.]

"What's the matter?"

[How did you make this special body that can communicate?]

"...What do you want to do with this?"

Hogu suddenly became alerted that intelligent creatures were not a joke, especially for these two long-growing species. To be honest, Hogu has begun to consider erasing the collector population from the planet after getting rid of the container.

At the beginning, if it hadn't been for dealing with the unknown enemy, it would not have considered creating any intelligent life at the beginning, because it was too dangerous that intelligent creatures could derive civilization, but this was enough to make Huo Gu cut off the idea of creating intelligent creatures.

Maybe one day, the intelligent creatures they created will suddenly want to prove what the internal structure of the creator is like, which will dissect Huo Gu.

Perhaps Huo Gu thinks too badly of the collector, but science is rigorous. There is no fluke. It only refers to the information and data that actually exists. The only intelligent creatures known to Huo Gu are human beings, with human virtue, with a probability of doing this kind of 100%.

Even in theology, Jesus was crucified, what an irony.

Huo Gudu has been able to imagine that his future is likely to be nailed to a strange geometric shelf and worshipped by countless collectors. Just thinking about it makes him shudder.

Maybe there were indeed gods around human beings in the past, but it might be scared away later - Huo Gu guessed doubtably.

While Huo Gu was thinking nonsense, he replied to the message with a twisted posture.

[Well, I also want to make some, because it's really...]

[Cool!]

[I really want to practice this kind of 'cool' myself, so please be sure to...]

"But I refuse."

Before he finished his words, he was rejected by Huo Gu's resolute attitude.

"Life is not a child's play, especially when 'wisdom' is born, they can form 'civilization'."

"Ming, remember my words - don't despise your creation, or sooner or later, you will pay a painful price for it, which you can't afford."

Huo Gu's tone is unprecedentedly dignified, which is the side that he has never seen since he got along with Huo Gu during this period.

Because of the current state, it is easy to intuitively feel the mood of the interlocutor, and through the dialogue, you can also feel the fear hidden in the solemnity of Huo Gu's words.

This makes it both curious and scared, because even at the beginning,

It can't make Huo Gu have such a degree of fear.[...Okay, I won't ask.]

I'm a little disappointed, because it really wants to create a special body that can communicate like a collector. After hundreds of millions of years, it still hasn't forgotten its original obsession. Although it is now accompanied by Huo Gu, a friend, it is no longer alone, but obsession and demand are sometimes not necessarily opposite. It may also be a parallel relationship that does not interfere with each other.

Huo Gu felt the emotion of Ming and knew that it was misunderstood, so he replied to explain.

"You don't have to be depressed about this. You are already on this road. The special bodies made by you will sooner or later give birth to special bodies with 'wisdom'. It's just a matter of time. 'Pregnancy' is an inevitable event."

"But I'm a little worried about you. You have a wrong mentality and are not prepared at all. Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss. The existence of 'civilization' is far above you and me."

In the latter sentence, Huo Gu emphasized the horror of 'civilization', which stimulated Ming's curiosity.

[So, what is the 'civilization' you've been talking about for a long time?]

"It's not that I don't want to understand, but it's difficult to understand. Only when you come into contact with 'civilization' can you intuitively understand what I mean by 'civilization' is."

Huo Gu is also helpless about the complaint. 'Civilization' is a concept. It can specifically refer to a certain race, a certain creature, or a certain group, but these cannot represent it. It has never had an accurate definition. Because of this, Huo Gu can't give an accurate answer.

The conversation between Mian and Huo Gu is over. However, the one-man show on this side is still not over. The endless words make Huo Gu have the illusion of being in the campus era again, listening to the leaders on the podium without nutrition.

For a long time, it is far better than the time span of Huo Gu and Wei's first communication. Huo Gu is fine, but Wei has begun to doubt life.

"Are you done?" Huo Gu asked.

"Uh... That's all."

I finished everything I wanted to say at one time, and faced the supreme will I had been longing for, and I didn't know how to arouse the topic and communicate for a while.

"Then please explain how you got in touch with here."

"I just talked about this..."

The atmosphere between them became very embarrassing in an instant. Indeed, the endless taga with just now made Huo Gu subconsciously ignore all of them and adopt a disregard attitude.

Ignoring other people's words, he was also exposed by the parties concerned. Huo Gu's embarrassment is far better than that of the perpetual side. However, Huo Gu's rich experience is not vegetarian, and he naturally suppressed this embarrassment.

"You spoke too fast just now. I didn't hear you clearly. Could you please say it again?"

"...Okay, follow your will."
