The arc did not respond to his question, but just wandered leisurely in front of him.

Zi Yang continued to ask in his mind, "Who are you? Where am I? Am I dead?"

This time, no giant screen lights up, but the arc seemed to understand Zi Yang's question, and suddenly stopped in front of him. The voice of a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared in Zi Yang's mind:

"I am the last survivor on the planet."

"You are in the wreckage of my spacecraft."

"You still maintain the human life."

After this arc light appeared, another life suddenly appeared in the world of nothingness, and Zi Yang instantly felt no longer so lonely.

"Are you dead? Are you artificial intelligence?"

After 800,000 years, Zi Yang believes that any organism will disappear.

"What is death? What is artificial intelligence?"

Arc asked back.

Then he continued to answer, "In your human understanding, my body may be 'dead', but my thoughts, or the soul you mentioned, are preserved as quantum states."

"The Lordless Wandering Soul" Zi Yang suddenly remembered the theory that A Chong explained to him. He continued to ask in his mind, "Then are you immortal?"

The arc was silent for a moment, and said in a sad tone: "I will also be annihilated."

Strangely, Zi Yang could actually hear human emotions from this quantum state of soul.

It seemed that he saw Zi Yang's thinking (that's certain), and Arc replied, "The real history of human civilization is less than 10,000 years. I have been learning about life and culture on the earth. I even created a language for you - in fact, humans on earth are the same as humans on our planet, joy, anger, sorrow, love, hate, and emotions. In terms of emotion, the higher lives of our two planets are similar."

Zi Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Can you say that in a sense you are the ancestor of human beings?" The spacecraft fell 800,000 years ago. To a certain extent, human society had not yet originated at that time. If "it" was willing, it could have become the originator of human beings on earth.

But Arc Guang replied: "No, although our civilization is millions of years ahead of you, our planetary culture does not interfere with the development of other planets and ethnic groups. Respecting every life is the principle of our planet."

"But later I broke this rule. 4,600 years ago, I saw a tribe developing rapidly. I helped one of the humans, hoping to use his hand to promote the progress of the entire earth civilization."

At this time, the arc suddenly disappeared, and the huge screen appeared in front of him again. An ancient man knelt devoutly at the feet of the dog-headed god Anubis. Compared with humans, Anubis is very huge, more than ten meters high. The crutch in his hand pointed at the head of the ancient man, and a beam of light enveloped him. It seemed that Anubis was teaching him knowledge and some kind of superpower.

Then the picture changed, hundreds of thousands of ancient people appeared in the desert. They drove away giant elephants and pulled huge rocks to work as busy as ants on the ground. A huge pyramid gradually erected on the ground.

Zi Yang was shocked, "Ancient Egyptian civilization? Was it really created by aliens?"

"However, according to the technology and capabilities you have mastered, the development process of mankind should be changed quickly. Technology is at least thousands of years ahead of now." In Zi Yang's cognition, Egyptian civilization fell thousands of years ago, and except for the pyramids and mysterious sacrificial temples, no other "shining" civilization was left behind.

The arc did not speak, and the painting style suddenly changed on the giant screen. The devout ancient man who started the picture had become a gorgeously dressed pharaoh, sitting condescendingly on a huge platform, pointing the scepter in his hand towards the front, surrounding the platform, and thousands of slaves crawling at his feet.

The picture continues to change.

Pharaoh began to form a powerful army, kill, rob, and the earth was devastated.

The Pharaoh began to collect rare treasures and enjoy delicious food greedily. He surrounded the beauties and enslaved her feet.

Majestic pyramids rise, but there are pharaohs and their rich burial objects buried in them.

At the foot of the pyramid, thousands of corpses of hard labor are piled up.

At this moment, without using arc light to say, Zi Yang also understood that the knowledge and superpowers provided by arc light did not promote the rapid development of human civilization, but instead became a tool for a few people to satisfy their rights and desires.

Zi Yang had a question in his mind, "Then why don't you take back your power? Sanction them."

Arc says, "The desire for power and slavery are human characteristics. Even if I do not intervene, it will inevitably happen in the course of history. Sanctions against them will only make human civilization retreat for thousands of years."

"What about it later?"

Arc said: "I don't care about them and let them die."

Zi Yang finally understood why a brilliant ancient civilization would have been inexplicably destroyed in history. The desire for power and ability is a double-edged sword. Those who own it did not use it to benefit mankind, but used it to pursue spirit and pleasure. In order to pursue their own selfish desires, they refused to share knowledge and ability with the public. In order to consolidate the divine power, they even fooled mortals. Once the sacrifices and pharaohs who mastered the secret of "divine power" disappeared, the civilization would automatically end.

Zi Yang said, "That's right, humans are selfish. But you shouldn't give up. Every human has different thoughts and realms. Maybe the result will be different if you change someone. There are still many selfless people in this world."

Arc was not "angry" about Zi Yang's "accusation": "That girl saw it very accurately, you are indeed different from ordinary people."

Zi Yang thought to himself: Could it be Su Rui, a girl? Has she also communicated with Arc before?

This time the arc did not reflect Zi Yang's brain waves, but said to himself, "I did not give up. As you said, I made many attempts, but after the first lesson, my participation was much weaker, and I tried to do my best to not affect human civilization."

"But several attempts failed. They were either full of fear and ignorant worshipping God, or selfish desires, wanting to possess more and demand higher rights, and none of them went in the direction I expected."

"Thousands of years ago, I was finally completely disappointed with mankind, gave up my efforts and stopped interfering in the process of mankind. Until recently, the situation changed and I had to interfere with the development of mankind again."

Zi Yang continued to ask: "What emergencies?"

Arc: The spacecraft's energy is about to run out, and its exhaustion is thousands of years earlier than I estimate.

The reason why I broke the rules and interfered with the earth's civilization was actually a forced one.

The shuttle I was riding in represented the most advanced technology on our planet at that time. After the crash on Earth, I tried to repair it, but later I found that I could not complete it alone without the help of powerful external forces.

I have to wait until the civilization on this planet evolves enough to master space technology, and ask them for help, but just like life on Earth, as an organism, I am also limited in life. In order to survive, I have to give up my body and transform my thoughts and consciousness into quantum states - you Earthlings call this the soul.

Zi Yang understood why the arc that appeared in front of him was not a "person".

The survivor has actually been "dead" for a long time. The one who talks to him is actually a soul, a soul that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Arc continued: After the spacecraft crashed, it kept relying on the core in the engine to maintain the energy supply. The sun on the top of the cave you see is the energy core, which provides energy for the spacecraft, and the spacecraft uses the energy field to maintain the balance of the core.

After 800,000 years of consumption, the core has approached 'death' and its state is becoming increasingly unstable, while the energy field maintained by its energy is also constantly depleting.

Decades ago, the energy field could no longer be fully controlled. The strange creatures you discovered before were genetic mutations caused by chain reactions caused by energy leakage.

Zi Yangdao: So, are the mysterious phenomena happening around Lop Nur all caused by energy abnormalities?

The arc paused for a moment, which was considered a default.

"My control is gradually weakening, and the leakage is getting worse and worse. Soon, I will completely lose control of the energy field."

Zi Yang continued to think in his mind: Will there be a worse situation?

The arc light also responded in his mind: Compared with the force field out of control, the impact of the current leakage is only a drop in the ocean.

The energy core is actually a miniature star. Its operating principle is the same as that of a star and it also has a life cycle. When the energy is about to be exhausted, the energy force field that keeps it shining begins to become unstable. This will cause the star to start pulsing irregularly - the magnetic field anomaly you observe on space satellites is caused by this.
