Chapter 1642: The End of Evolution

On the second day after seeing off Valentine, Qin Hao summoned Qian Feng.

"How? How is your recovery?" Qin Hao asked in a flat tone.

"Brother Hao, don't worry, they didn't dare to install any wiretapping equipment on me." Qian Feng said with a smile.

"That's good!" Qin Hao nodded. In fact, as soon as Qian Feng came back, he checked Qian Feng's mechanical body. At that time, he basically confirmed that there was no wiretapping device installed on Qian Feng's body.

After all, Qian Feng was transformed by the Borg, and they also know that he will definitely undergo strict inspection after returning to the Interstellar Federation. , then the entire espionage program may have gone bankrupt before it even started.

"Let's talk about what you have seen and heard over there first." Qin Hao asked Qian Feng to sit down, and then asked.

"When I woke up..." Then Qian Feng told Qin Hao what he had seen and heard from the Borgs, because when he went there, Qian Feng only had a brain left, and he couldn't see anything, what? He couldn't hear him either, so he had no way of knowing what happened before he woke up.

However, according to Qian Feng's guess, the Borg should have done some experiments on him, and even tried to check his memory, but the restriction set by Qin Hao is still intact, which means that the Borg may not have succeeded. Maybe he retreated after realizing the restriction.

In short, when Qian Feng woke up, his memory and thinking were intact, without any confusion, and without any strange memories or ideas.

After waking up, Qian Feng was arranged in a hotel. At this time, he has completed the transformation, so he no longer needs to replenish energy through eating. After a few days of adaptation, Qian Feng gradually became familiar with the life of the Borg. In this way, they don't need to eat and drink like creatures, as long as they recharge regularly.

Of course, because Qian Feng's transformation is not complete, he still retains at least one brain, so in addition to recharging his energy, he also needs to supplement some nutrients regularly. The Borg also have ready-made products for direct injection. A tube in the arm will do.

The life style of the Borg is very efficient. The higher the level of transformation, the less time the Borg spends on daily affairs. For fully mechanized Borg like Victor, they don’t even need to sleep, so work Very efficient!

Listening to Qian Feng's description, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because the life of the Borg is simply too boring. The only biological traits they retain now are greed and ambition. Once they evolve all these If it is lost, then they will completely lose the last bit of humanity,

At that time they will become fully rational beings of pure logic.

"Is the end of the Borg's evolution to destroy humanity?" Qin Hao repeated silently, while thinking deeply.

In Qin Hao's cognition, the Borg and the swarm can be said to be two extreme races. The Borg believe in mechanical technology. They even want to abandon their weakest flesh and transform themselves into a fully mechanized life form.

But the swarm is just the opposite. They don't develop any mechanical technology, they just go further and further in the direction of biological evolution, but the two civilizations have reached the same goal at the end of evolution.

According to Qian Feng's description, the focus of the evolution of the Borg is to abandon all human nature and become a purely logical and rational life form, and the final result of this form is a mastermind that gathers the wisdom of all members to rule countless grassroots that are only responsible for executing orders individual patterns.

As for the swarms, they have made the bottom-level swarms lose their wisdom during the evolution process. They are now grass-roots individuals who only know how to obey the orders of their superiors, and the swarm leader or even the swarm master is the commander who issues orders.

Because the swarm is still in the process of evolution, but as the evolution continues, the ability to dominate is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that when they no longer need to use the swarm leader to precisely control each individual zerg, the swarm leader This class will be eliminated.

Then the swarm will also evolve into a mode in which a highly intelligent ruler commands countless grassroots individuals who can only execute orders!

Since the evolution of the population is developing toward a more efficient model, this model will definitely be formed in the end. Whether it is based on technology or in the direction of biological evolution, it will eventually form a model of great wisdom individual dictatorship and grass-roots loss of thinking. .

Thinking of this, Qin Hao suddenly felt a mass of fear in his heart, because he found that human beings are actually thinking about this direction. With the development of information technology, human blind obedience is becoming more and more obvious, and they are unwilling to think. Follow what others say, especially the belief in experts, which makes this blind obedience more obvious, and this trend is spreading rapidly. Gradually, some people will give up thinking and follow others blindly until they completely Lose the ability to think and become a grassroots individual who only knows how to execute.

Although compared with the Borg and the swarm, human beings are currently far away from the end of evolution, but thinking that every living person will eventually lose individual independence and become an ordinary, dispensable person in the population. Composing molecules, Qin Hao still had a chilling feeling.

For this reason, Qin Hao fell into thinking, he didn't even listen carefully to what Qian Feng was saying, he was thinking whether this evolution is really a good thing.

For the entire group, this evolution is indeed a kind of progress, because after eliminating the grassroots thinking, the overall executive ability will be greatly improved, and the development efficiency of the group will become higher, but for individuals, they The value of existence will be lost, because apart from the only thinker, any other grassroots individual is no longer unique.

Suddenly, Qin Hao remembered an ancient book that he accidentally found when he was a child. It is said to be the theory of cultivating immortals handed down from ancient times. Its core content is to preserve the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires. Is it the order of the supreme thinker to destroy all personal ideas and desires?

"Could it be that as early as ancient times, the ancestors thought of what the end point of evolution was?" Qin Hao was startled. He had no way of verifying when this theory was passed down, but this conclusion made him very surprised. Confused, the human species in ancient times said they had never been in contact with alien creatures, and they didn't even start the steam civilization, so how could they think of the end point of evolution?
