Chapter 557
"History is a mirror that illuminates the present and the future, guiding us forward, inheriting and developing."
Just when Yang Ming thought that the human-faced sphinx was about to ask a historical question, the other party said coldly: "
Now, I want to ask you the most difficult question in the world."
Hearing the other party say this, Yang Ming subconsciously became nervous, and had the feeling of returning to the high school school and being questioned by the head teacher.
The human-faced sphinx lowered its head, and its heavily weathered face looked a little hideous and terrifying, but only the pair of eyes full of wisdom radiated wisdom, and asked in a deep voice:
"What is the meaning of life?"
Yang Ming was stunned.
？？？
When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem!
What is the meaning of life, this is simply an unsolvable philosophical question!
If you answer casually, it will definitely not work.
Even if Yang Ming pondered and answered, if he couldn't satisfy the human-faced sphinx, I was afraid that he would suffer a terrifying punishment, according to what the human-faced sphinx said before, the loser who answered the answer would be deprived of his attributes and skills by the rule system realm, and then swallowed by the human-faced sphinx!
At this moment, Yang Ming even had a trace of regret, regretting that he should not choose to answer the question.
But soon, Yang Ming strangled the trace of regret in his heart in the bud.
Since he chose this path, Yang Ming had no intention of turning back!
The human-faced sphinx did not have a prescribed time for answering, so Yang Ming could take advantage of this time to sit down and think about the question.
Yang Ming found a corner of the corridor and sat down, falling into thought.
What is the meaning of life?
If Yang Ming died here.
In a few days, the corpse will begin to emit an uncomfortable corpse odor, because the microorganisms in the corpse without immune system constraints begin to believe in the reins like wild dogs galloping on the corpse and living dashingly, and the decomposers outside the corpse who usually look at the skin and sigh also begin to easily break into the normally forbidden area of the human internal environment, turning all the delicate organs and tissues inside the corpse into a piece of rotten meat in minutes.
If it is in an environment exposed to the sun, the fat that can not be lost for more than ten years will completely evaporate in a few days, and the organic matter that does not have time to decompose may be dehydrated, and thrown into the water will ferment the gas to expand and form a giant view, and in severe cases, it may also self-detonate.
What does all this say?
The starting point of all this is just that Yang Ming died and lost his life, the composition of that rotten piece of meat is no different from Yang Ming's strong body and strong muscles when he was alive, the same posture is strong, those bacteria that wantonly decompose the corpse, usually under the constraints of Yang Ming's immune system in the body life is orderly, orderly, the entire body energy is running very orderly under the guidance of life.
At the level of energy utilization, orderly accumulation and directional release may be the meaning of life.
But obviously, if that's just the case, it can't move the sphinx.
Yang Ming continued to ponder.
When he was in school, Yang Ming was a top student, and he was quick to learn a lot of knowledge.
It's just that in today's world, Yang Ming doesn't use this knowledge a lot of times, and he hides it on weekdays, and now may be the time to use it.
Yang Mingcai's mind was quick, and pictures began to appear in his mind.
If you give a monkey typewriter, as long as you give it unlimited time, tens of billions of years, the monkey has the probability of knocking out a Shakespeare work, but this is random, disorderly and chaotic, but if there is a living Shakespeare, all this only takes a few years to come out, this is the power of life.
Mercury has been receiving the sun's radiant energy since its birth billions of years ago, but unfortunately until 500 million years ago, the entire Mercury has hardly changed anything, and the amount of solar energy for more than four billion years cannot be said to be all wasted, but can only be said to be mostly useless.
In the hundreds of millions of years since the birth of life, oil and gas appeared in the earth's crust, oxygen appeared in the atmosphere, the climate was changed, the landscape was obscured, the efficiency of energy utilization began to burst like an engine, there was movement, instincts appeared, wisdom appeared, consciousness appeared, and these things are inorganic inanimate can not imagine, they do not know what is called imagination.
If there is no life, it can almost be asserted that Mercury will still be Mercury in billions of years, and the sun will still be the sun, almost unchanged.
Faintly, Yang Ming seemed to have grasped some important clues.
Yang Ming was silent and fell into a long period of deep thought.
The Hell Dao puppet stood beside Yang Ming, acting as the most loyal guard.
The human-faced sphinx was also quite patient, looking at Yang Ming quietly like this, and there seemed to be a trace of expectation in the depths of his eyes.
In this extremely dark trapezoidal pyramid, time seems to have lost its original meaning, and it is not clear how long has passed, as if a second has passed, as if a century has passed, when Yang Ming opened his eyes again, there seemed to be a flash of light that pierced the darkness in his eyes.
Yang Ming stood up and walked towards the human-faced sphinx.
"Young Terran, do you already have the answer in your heart?"
The human-faced sphinx looked at Yang Ming quietly, and no change in expression could be seen from its face.
"The meaning of life is to create."
Yang Ming said.
"Let's use an analogy."
"On Mercury, carrying food is the job of worker ants, these worker ants are destined to not be able to give birth, so their only mission when they are born is simple, that is, to carry food to the nest to feed the queen, provide it with more nutrition, reproduce the offspring, and strengthen the ant race."
"As for the queen, its lifelong task is to reproduce and reproduce, so it is born for fertility."
"Why these ants repeat the lives of their ancestors all their lives, without ever changing anything, is precisely because they are not creative!"
"And we Terrans are different, our Terrans may be weak at the beginning for various reasons, but we have flexible minds and bold imaginations to create things that do not exist originally."
"The Terrans longed for eagles to soar in the air, so the Terrans created airplanes, and the Terrans longed to gallop across the earth like galloping horses, so the Terrans created cars."
