Chapter 1170 -692: The Melancholy of Young Nico Ross

According to the competition rules, teams that successfully pass the first round of the academy test and move on to the next round have one day of rest.

Logically, the Flying Tiger Team should gather and thoroughly analyze the gains and losses of the last round, and rehearse for the next round.

But Nico Ross announced, absent-minded, to disband on the spot.

Others wanted to ask him what was the matter, seeing his deeply worried expression, they dared not speak, they could only secretly speculate that the captain was really strict. Even after winning so beautifully, there was not a trace of joy. He wasn’t even proud or self-satisfied.

Back alone in the dormitory, Nico Ross lay listlessly on the couch.

He was unsure of what was happening to him.

Since he came out of the competition virtual space, he kept recalling the unfinished spaceship “Morrowind No.2”.

The image was indelible, like a nightmare.

It was just a random ship made from a biological tool in a virtual training task simulated by the Main Ship’s core, using ancient and outdated technology. Its performance was even inferior to today’s civilian transport ships, so what was worth caring about?

Besides, deep within him, he was constantly asking himself several nearly unanswerable questions.

What’s wrong with me?

He didn’t know why, but his mind was unsettled.

Nico Ross turned on the Medical Self-Check System, giving himself a holographic scan and psychological status check.

The report concluded that his status was absolutely normal, even unnaturally so.

Ding Dong.

The doorbell rang.

It was Daniel Thompson.

After entering, Lion was full of praise, “Today was well done, keep striving.”

Nico Ross looked up at Daniel Thompson, forcing a smile on his face, “Lion, I have a question.”

“What? Ask.”

“Do you think a queen ant of microscopic termites is a life form?”

“Of course.”

“What if it’s a queen ant that is simulated by the main brain in virtual space?”

“Eh, it depends on whether we consider the main brain of Storm Star as a life form. According to the current recognition of the scientific community and the many mechanical civilizations we have already encountered, the main brain should be considered a life form. So the queen ant can be counted.”

“Is the queen ant considered an intelligent life form as human beings?”

Daniel Thompson was definitive, “Absolutely not.”

Nico Ross laughed, “But, if the life of microscopic termites is just a natural phenomenon in the universe. If the decomposition and recombination of microscopic termites for ship wreckage is just a cosmic law, just like the birth and death of a star. Then isn’t human life the same? Don’t humans fall in love a few times, consume some oxygen, exhale some carbon dioxide, and if they’re lucky, maybe leave some offspring?”

“Perhaps human history can be longer than the history of microscopic termites, but if time is expanded to infinity and assuming that human civilization will eventually come to an end in the universe, then what’s the difference between humans and microscopic termites? Our transformation of the planet, extraction from dark energy pools, exploration of triple spaces and actual energy, what are they different from the life and death laws of a star or the collision and entanglement of two galaxies? Why do human beings exist?”

“Huh?” Daniel Thompson was completely befuddled by Nico Ross’s series of philosophical questions.

Lion thought for a long time, “Humans have emotions.”

Nico Ross smiled and shook his head, asking again, “So Lion, do you think humans can live forever?”

Daniel Thompson was certain: “Human cryogenic technology only steals life from time. The human brain will eventually break down one day. Humans can never live forever”

“What’s the difference between a human corpse and a dried branch?”

“No difference.”

“What about a dried branch and a burnt piece of charcoal? From the definition of life, is there a difference?”

“No.”

“At the moment of death, a living person becomes a meteorite in space. So there is no real difference between a human and a meteorite floating in space. One day in the future, even if we win the war, civilization can continue for billions of years, but eventually, humanity will disappear. Once all humans are extinct, the universe will return to silence. So what is the meaning of human civilization’s existence? To help the universe accelerate entropy increase? But is this meaningful?”

These continuous questions from Harrison Clark completely blew Daniel Thompson away.

“Well, if you have nothing else to do, rest early and have a good night’s sleep. Don’t think wildly, we have a competition the day after tomorrow. I have to go now.”

After greeting Daniel Thompson, he ran away. Inside, he was roaring endlessly.

There’s trouble!

Big trouble!

Daniel Thompson thought that this matter could only be turned over to the audience outside the field.

In no time, Dylan Mitchell, Andrei, Roger Baker, and Nora Camp all burst into Daniel Thompson’s emergency situation discussion group.

Outside of this small discussion group, there were also millions of current and former core scholars of the Sage Project.

Daniel Thompson tossed out Nico Ross’s questions, but he couldn’t find the answers. But he found that Dylan Mitchell, Andrei, and Roger Baker had left the chat, leaving only himself and Nora Camp staring at each other.

On the other side, discussions among countless scholars were in full swing, and eventually, Bernal Connor summed it all up.

“It’s a good thing, it shows that Nico Ross is starting to actively consider the fate of human civilization. His question is actually not complicated, it only needs another assumption to break. He assumes that humans are destined to perish. Even if we don’t perish at the hands of the Compound-Eyed Observer, we will still eventually perish due to time and universal dissolution.”
