The floating warehouse passed over the bustling city and slowly approached the side of a tall building in the city center. After the floating warehouse approached, the seemingly flat walls on the side of the building began to push out, revealing the complex and exquisite interior. Mechanical structure, and quickly turned into a platform large enough to stop seven or eight floating warehouses.
The door of the floating warehouse quickly began to deform. The mechanical structure of the floating warehouse was directly linked to the platform, and then directly turned into steps for passengers in the warehouse to walk down.
Ma En followed Zasna down and looked at the mechanical platform that completed its transformation in just a few seconds:
"It seems that your civilization prefers the kind of technology we are familiar with to magic."
The various buildings in the entire city do look like more advanced modern buildings, rather than some ancient magical creation that is difficult for modern people to understand. Moreover, whether it is the planning of the city or the transportation and passages everywhere, they are all special. Close to what a modern city looks like.
Zasna said:
"The magic you are talking about should refer to the technical system invented and mastered by the Gurama Empire. After the destruction of the Gurama Empire, it became more difficult to use that technology, so although the technology they mastered is better than ours, More advanced, but our use of magic is actually not much different from Titan technology.
"After all, Titan technology is what we really master, but in fact, if you can go back to the Titan era before the break with the gods, you will also see that we used far more magic technology at that time than this city.
"Actually, you don't see many traces of magic here. Mainly because our flesh and blood Titans and mechanical Titans are not particularly good at magic. However, we actually also use Gurama magic, but in most cases we are Use it to fill in some areas where Titan technology can't.
"After all, we have to admit that that ancient empire was far more powerful than our civilization. We still cannot understand many of their magic principles, nor can we include them in our own knowledge system.
"So many things that magic can do are like miracles to us. For example, they actually mastered the method of resurrecting people who have not been dead for a long time. This is almost a miracle to us, but in ancient times This is not even a particularly great spell in the Rama Empire. Maybe a slightly more advanced magician can do this incredible behavior, and this is enough to prove that their complete system is definitely more advanced than ours.
"Of course, I actually don't think the technological system we created is exactly similar to yours. The causal relationship may be exactly the other way around. The actual situation is probably that your current technological system is based on the knowledge left behind by the ancient Titans. Yes, you are actually our imitators and followers."
In fact, Ma En asked this question because he had already obtained this information from the Titan Spider, but he still pretended to be ignorant and curious:
"You mean that the scientific system we now know and make available to all humans actually originated from you."
Zasna nodded:
"To be precise, it should be that the core idea of your control system is related to us.
"If I remember correctly, we had a special plan when we were fighting against the gods a long time ago, that is, we have created many knowledge storage devices that can withstand the test of time, in an attempt to allow future humans to master the name "Manaji" The special ideological theory of "Dun" - this was actually the mainstream view of our Titan civilization on various technical systems at that time.
"It is a method of understanding the world based on verifiability and predictability. If you only master various technologies in this way, you can effectively weaken the power of those gods.
"At the end of the Titan civilization, we completely banned the use of Gurama magic among civilians, because ordinary people who don't understand Gurama civilization often mystify in their hearts those things that current technology cannot give a reasonable explanation for. Magic, and this will give the gods an opportunity to invade the human mind.
"The essence of the gods is human beings' imagination of the universe and reality. If the world today can be explained by a complete set of theories in the eyes of all humans, then the gods will naturally have no room to survive.
"you want
Know that the gods exist only in the human mind. "
As she spoke, she raised her finger and pointed at the position of her head.
Ma En showed a surprised look:
"I see, that is to say, if we can make all humans understand nature and the universe, we can effectively weaken these gods. No wonder they deliberately keep the Southern Federation in a backward state and prevent most young children from being free. choose to receive modern scientific education.
"They are deliberately making human beings ignorant and backward."
In fact, Ma En had known this for a long time, but after hearing Zasna's words, he also remembered that this method could effectively suppress and deal with gods. Unfortunately, this method was not fast, and it was not his method. Such an independent person can complete it.
In fact, only the federal government can do similar things, and as far as he knows, the federal government has always been trying to improve the educational level of the Southern Commonwealth, but the resources they have invested are not enough to compete with the gods.
And if you think about it this way, it may be difficult for this trick to be effective for Serran. After all, stars are relatively poorly understood by humans among the entities represented by the gods, and there is still a lot of room for imagination.
Seeing that he had figured it out, Zasna also smiled:
"Yes, and in fact, long before the Titan civilization went to war with the gods, many scholars advocated the scientific model of Manageton. In fact, it was precisely because we adopted this method that we completely inspired the Titan civilization. The contradiction between God and us should be the most fundamental reason for this war.
"This is not only because the gods will specifically prevent us from thinking like this, but also because when we think like this, we will doubt the rationality of the existence of the gods and begin to challenge their authority.
"If you think about it from another perspective, this war can also be said to have been started by us. It was Manageton who gave us the courage and motivation to question the gods, making the friction between us more intense.
"So your current rulers' decision to isolate the abnormal world is very smart. It seems that they are not the kind of fools who would ignore the dangers of the gods."
As she spoke, Zasna also walked towards the wall that was rebuilt after the platform was extended. Then she reached out and pushed open a wall that Marn could not distinguish, and then revealed a door that was large enough for them to walk in.
Behind the "door" was a room that looked closer to the modern style than the building. There were tables and chairs that Marn was familiar with. It didn't lack any basic furniture compared to the modern houses in the Federation, but it had more electrical equipment that he couldn't understand.
"I have wronged you to live here during this period." Zasna said, "Although you are not a prisoner, this can only be regarded as a familiar cell. Of course, we take this measure to protect you and the people in our city. Civilian, after all, you are still a guy of unknown origin to us."
Ma En nodded:
"Understood. I don't expect to be able to move freely here. As long as I can finally return to my original dimension, that's my only request."
His cooperation also made Zasna feel somewhat at ease. Ma En's behavior did not seem like a spy of the gods, and as a person with abilities who mistakenly entered the Titan dimension, his behavior was not stupid.
In fact, she was quite worried that Ma En was the kind of idiot who would think that they wanted to harm him quietly, which would cause a lot of trouble for her next actions, but now his attitude was just right for Zasna.
Zasna walked to a door and pushed it open:
"This is the study. There are some discussions about our history and the existence of the gods."
Ma En looked at the study and suddenly asked:
"Then if we can know what the gods are, can we weaken them?"
He is deliberately tempting Zasna to reveal more information about the gods.
Zasna nodded:
"Yes, in fact, this is also the way we have studied for a long time in the past. In fact, we have indeed learned the nature and origin of the gods. In fact, this is not a secret..."
Now that Ma En has said this, she has no intention of hiding it.
Even if Ma En is an undercover agent of the gods, letting him know the nature of the gods is not a bad thing, but it may shake his faith.
Zasna went inside and picked out a few books and handed them to Ma En:
"This seriously proves the nature of the existence of the gods. According to our past research, the nature of the gods is actually a bit funny, because we found that these so-called gods believed by humans...
"On the contrary, they were created by humans."
Ma En raised his eyelids slightly:
"You mean we created the gods."
Zasna smiled and said:
"That's right, and I'm not talking about the process of consciousness creating gods. I mean that the race of gods was something created by humans in a certain era. Don't you think this is the only reasonable explanation?
"It's impossible that there really is a natural phenomenon called a god that turns our imagination of nature and the universe into a special creature with self-awareness, right? Think about it carefully...
"Why do these creatures only exist in the human brain and are not affected by other creatures? And why do these creatures you see today have very similar consciousness structures to humans?
"The reason is very simple, that is because humans were the ones who created the gods. Humans at that time would naturally decide to create a race that had similar personalities to themselves but could communicate with them.
"It's hard for you to imagine how obsessed human beings are with creating a new race with a similar consciousness structure to their own, but this is their nature. Even the person standing in front of you is a brand new race created by humans.
[In view of the general environment,
"And the gods are no exception. If our research is correct, these gods were originally created as special weapons. Humans at that time should have faced an extremely difficult war.
"And the opponents of human beings at that time were not our kind. In fact, the existence of the gods also determined that when humans started a life-and-death battle with foreign races, they would inevitably become our allies.
"Because if humans become extinct, they will also die
"Now you should have figured it out. Why can human consciousness determine the form of their existence? Why are they in this form of existence that is parasitic on human consciousness?
"Because they are biological weapons that will inevitably safeguard the survival of mankind.
“In the final analysis, man is God’s creator.”
Ma En showed a surprised look:
"After hearing what you said, I do feel that many of the doubts about the existence of gods make sense."
Although Ma En's purpose was to seek information from the gods, he did not expect to hear such words, but after thinking about it, this was indeed the most reasonable answer.
That’s right, gods are originally creations of human imagination, how could they exist naturally.
Zasna nodded:
"Yes, but as time goes by, humans gradually forget that God actually created the species themselves, and they also slowly climbed to a higher position in the dark age of mankind and became the so-called gods.
"But if you think about it seriously, the gods are just your creations, no different from us."
Ma En showed a puzzled expression in cooperation:
"you?"
Zasna replied:
"Yes, we flesh and blood Titans and mechanical Titans are actually brand-new species created by humans through the research of biological and mechanical technology. What is different from the gods is that we have exactly the same consciousness structure as you.
"But we don't have a soul. We simulate the operation of the soul through the biological brain or mechanical brain and the corresponding nervous system, and this makes it impossible for us to be parasitized into the brain by the gods.
"The gods always feel that they are creatures that are superior to humans. In fact, their thoughts are not unreasonable. If they cannot surpass humans in some fields, they will have no value in being created.
"Therefore, in order to defeat their superior creations in the past, the human titans
Like the Creator, they re-created us based on themselves, and they look forward to allowing our new humanity to defeat the gods. "
Ma En showed a dazed look, as if he was overwhelmed by such a huge amount of information:
"Wait, so you don't have souls."
Zasna smiled and said:
"Yes, neither we nor the Mechanical Titan have souls, but we all have consciousness, and the gods actually do not have souls like you.
"The soul is just some way of assuming consciousness, but it's not the only way.
"It's not just the soul that can think - cells, metals, or intelligent algorithms that simulate souls can all perform what you call thinking.
"Maybe the flesh and blood that makes up our heads has no soul, but it can also be called consciousness.
"I know very well that I am alive."
Ma En blinked:
"Although I am not a soul scholar, you do look alive to me."
Zasna smiled:
"It's okay, it doesn't matter even if you don't understand our form of existence. This may be a question that challenges concepts for some scholars, and it's not important at all.
"You can rest here first, read the books recording our existence, and accept the inspection of the professional Titan Gate. Then we can slowly discuss what the gods and us are."
