Geniuses will remember love in one second? Let's talk about it, and let's talk about it.
The unique opening instantly cast Li Yao and his companions into a deep and distant atmosphere.
It was needless to mention Li Yao, who had once been deeply involved with Wei Qingqing. Even Long Yangjun and Ling Xiaole were deeply curious about the female teacher who had volunteered to pass on the tinder of the civilization of mankind billions of years in the future.
However, they were more curious about the children and the 'old grandpas' above their heads.
Sensing their puzzled gazes, Wei Qingqing smiled slightly and signaled for the three of them to follow her as they slowly walked past the lawn where the children were playing.
"The Tinder Base includes a very large park," she explained. "More than fifty thousand workers and their families live here. It is sort of a town that has everything you need. Schools, hospitals, stores, and entertainment facilities are available. Of course, it has its own kindergartens and elementary schools, too.
"Those little guys are all the children of the researchers of the Tinder Plan. I've been staying with the children in the school here for the past five years."
"Miss Wei!"
"Miss Qingqing!"
Seeing that they were coming close, many children greeted them. Judging from the brilliant smiles on their faces, Wei Qingqing was very popular among the children.
Wei Qingqing smiled and suddenly made a face at the children. She put her hands together and opened them. Her ten fingers bloomed like lotus flowers, and a bunch of colorful flowers bloomed in her palm. She pouted her cheeks and gently blew. The flowers fluttered like dandelions and flew away with the wind, causing many children to scatter and chase after them. They laughed and played, and the lawn was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Wei Qingqing's fleshly body had been destroyed in the beast tide outbreak more than a hundred years ago. As a spectral Cultivator, she did not have a real body. Her current human shape and the colorful dandelions were naturally illusions.
However, the fact that she was able to create such a vivid illusion that could even affect a hundred meters away was enough to show how high her realm was.
She was an 'Illusionist' in the first place, which was the weirdest of all the professions of the Cultivators. It boasted the ability to shape words into illusions with the boost of spiritual energy.
"Miss Wei," Long Yangjun said, "what are the 'old grandpas' above the children's heads?"
"Those things were named 'Quasi-Intelligent Virtual Education Telepathic Thoughts Amalgamation' when they were patented," Wei Qingqing said. "But it is too hard to pronounce. Usually, everybody calls them 'old grandpas' because they are really like the knowledgeable, ubiquitous, and responsive grandpas around us.
"It is a type of virtual education telepathic thoughts. It is equivalent to a virtual teacher. Technically speaking, it is not very complicated. All you need to do is to integrate all the curricula of the Federation's twelve-year compulsory education and all the content of the 'Grand Encyclopedia of the Federation' into one. However, in the Tinder Base, the researchers of the 'old grandpas' hope that they can boast more autonomy and decision-making abilities. Not only should they be good teachers for the students, they should also be good partners in life and even good helpers in battle.
"Let's put it this way. They hope to project an 'old grandpa' to an unfamiliar planet with a harsh environment that is uninhabited. As long as a humanoid life is found, it will automatically plan the entire education system and upgrade routes according to the current environment, helping the humanoid life to learn everything about the civilization of mankind from scratch, from the simplest language to the most complicated arts of refining, combat, and all kinds of techniques.
"Also, when the students are in danger, the old grandpa will play a certain role in predicting and protecting them.
"Like this —"
Wei Qingqing raised her hand. A zigzagging, bright green mist of light flowed out of her nonexistent fingertips and condensed into a translucent shadow in midair.
It was the image of an old man who had white hair and a youthful face, but dominance and fighting will were hidden deep inside his eyes.
Li Yao scratched his chin hard. Why did he feel that the old grandpa looked somewhat familiar?
"This is the tenth-generation old grandpa that we are developing," Wei Qingqing said. "The standard template is' Grandpa Yao ', which is based on' Li Yao ', the super hero of the Federation."
"…" Li Yao.
"Wow. How interesting!"
The 'Grandpa Yao' waved his hands, and an enormous, blank light beam immediately appeared in front of him. Then, simple people, pictures, and characters appeared on the light beam, starting with the simplest words such as' man ',' mountain ',' sky ', and' sun '.
Then, the content on the light beam suddenly changed. It turned into the rather difficult studies of spiritual energy, biochemistry, and other fundamental subjects for college students.
After showing the content of the book education, 'Grandpa Yao' even performed the standard military boxing of the Federation vigorously. Then, he made quite a few classic postures of absorbing and circulating spiritual energy before he finally returned to the static state.
Wei Qingqing smiled. "From the first generation to the tenth generation, the old grandpa's studies have made significant progress. However, it seems that there is still a long way to go before it can adapt to the needs of the unknown environments and species that we have in mind. Therefore, we will bring it to our kindergartens and elementary schools as' big toys' for the children. More data will be collected by the way!"
Li Yao and 'Grandpa Yao' stared at each other for a long time. Then, he coughed and said, "So to speak, you are planning to bring the 'old grandpa' to millions of years later to enlighten a new civilization?"
"Yes!"
Wei Qingqing opened her virtual arms and bathed in the virtual sunlight. She smiled and said, "I've been a teacher for my entire life, and I've taught children for my entire life. I've watched many ignorant children grow up. In fact, from a higher level, isn't the so-called 'Monument Plan' or 'Tinder Plan' a universal compulsory education program?
"In the universe millions of years later, there may be a lot of civilizations in the ignorant state. They are like ignorant children. Whatever their life form is, if our 'old grandpa' can bring them the essence of the civilization of mankind and give them some enlightenment, won't it be another continuation of our civilization?
"Of course, the environment of every planet is vastly different, and the life that is bred there will certainly be different forms. It may be difficult for them to understand the whole of the civilization of mankind, but it will be enough as long as they can understand a little bit.
"Think about it. On a certain weird planet billions of years later, an intelligent life that looks like a metal octopus and lives in a boiling swamp is born. The form and social structure of such a life form are vastly different from that of human beings. However, with the help of the 'old grandpa', they understand what the so-called 'love' and 'protection' of human beings are all about. They also feel that such feelings are excellent and incorporate them into their civilization. How wonderful such a universe will be!
"To achieve such a purpose, even the generality and universality of 'Grandpa Yao', the tenth-generation grandpa, are not enough. The specialists in the Tinder Base will have to study it slowly, but I can't wait any longer! Ha. Let me be the first 'old grandpa' and search for the children in the universe. Oh, wait. If it were me, I should be called 'old grandpa'. "
Ripples spread out of Wei Qingqing's body, and she truly turned into the image of a kind and lovely old grandpa with a hunched back and silver hair all over her head.
Li Yao looked at this posture that he had never seen before and was stunned for a moment.
Long Yangjun asked, "Master Wei, I'm very curious about something. Have you ever considered the dangers of the 'Tinder Plan'? Will certain information carried by the Tinder Plan be used by the alien species deep in the universe and harm the civilization of mankind? After all, how can the universe be so vast and dark? Other than the 'children', there must be a lot of ferocious, hungry beasts lurking, right? "
Wei Qingqing smiled casually and said, "Of course, we have considered that. That's why every 'tinder' has been imposed with barriers of the highest level. It is absolutely impossible to open a tinder within a million years. If it is opened by force, it will immediately self-destruct.
"The information stored inside the tinder, on the other hand, will not exceed the university level of the Federation today. From the perspective of the entire civilization, it is very fundamental.
"After a million years, if the civilization of mankind still existed at that time, it would've developed into a form and level that none of us could've imagined. What use would the unknown alien species, even if they were ferocious animals, have with our 'fundamental theories from a million years ago'?
"On the other hand, if the civilization of mankind perishes for various reasons in a million years, which is very likely to happen judging from the development of the civilization in the past forty thousand years, then it will be even less likely for the alien species to harm us if they acquire the information.
"Yes. We do not deny that the 'Tinder Plan' is somewhat dangerous. Perhaps the universe is truly dark, but it is exactly because of that that we should throw torches everywhere and ignite the weeds and shrubs to illuminate the surroundings so that we can find more of our own kind or partners that we can communicate with!
"Otherwise, wouldn't we be hiding in the darkness in fear for the rest of our lives, unable to escape forever?"
Wei Qingqing's words rendered Li Yao, Long Yangjun, and Ling Xiaole somewhat speechless.
Wei Qingqing continued with a smile. "In fact, don't underestimate the difficulty of searching for a universal civilization. According to the calculation of the specialists in the Tinder Base, the odds that we will find an alien species in a million years are no more than one billionth. Perhaps we will not find a new life until we drift in the sea of stars for tens of millions of years.
"By that day, it is very likely that the civilization of mankind will have been destroyed, just like the Pangu civilization and the Nuwa civilization.
"Chances are that the brand-new species that have received our 'old grandpa' and inherited the essence of our civilization will return to the homeland of their 'teacher' and help the descendants of their 'teacher' to reproduce a new civilization of mankind and be reborn again, won't they?
"If one is not enough, we can send thousands of 'old grandpas' to the universe. There is bound to be a 'good student', right?
