Chapter 184 The Future
But what happened next completely changed Jessica's first impression.
From a distance, he looks ordinary and would not be noticed in a crowd.
But as long as you get close to him, you can feel an intriguing and mysterious temperament from him.
It will make people unconsciously fall into the urge to understand him.
After only meeting him once and speaking to him at close range, Jessica remembered him.
When she shook hands for the first time, every cell in her body came alive.
His body seemed to have a kind of magnetism, attracting her and making her feel very comfortable.
Perhaps this is why Linda, who has always been more traditional, is so obsessed with her.
"Li Meng, what do you think our future will be like?"
While walking, Jessica looked at the man beside her and asked seriously.
Facing Jessica's gaze, Li Meng asked: "Do you mean 'UNSC', or do you mean the entire human race?"
Jessica shook her head and said: "The Milky Way is too big. Even if we have a hyperdrive, it would take far longer than human lifespan to cross thousands of light years. Although humans can make their own lives in some form "Eternal," like "EVE" clones, but are they still themselves?"
"Today, human beings are scattered in various star regions of the Milky Way. Human beings in each star region will embark on their own journey. Perhaps after thousands or tens of thousands of years, humans in each star region will leave their respective star regions and move toward The outside world is explored and conquered, but before that, how many humans can survive and develop an interstellar civilization belonging to humans in the star sea?”
Jessica said a lot, but her meaning was simple.
She was not talking about the entire human race, but the humans in the S sector.
The human location in each star sector is like a new village in the game, and the "Trading Mall" is the village leader.
When humans level up in Novice Village and reach a certain level, they will go out.
Outside the village, players will encounter a variety of enemies.
There are weak people, strong people, and BOSS.
This is so similar to the humans in the S sector.
At the moment, humans are only active in the star field near the "Trading Mall".
They all developed in their own star systems. Although they also explored multiple star systems, they did not effectively occupy them.
Because the resources of a star system are sufficient, with the current scale of human forces, there will be no need to expand outwards for decades.
The only things that give humans the desire to expand and explore are probably four rare minerals and the search for habitable planets.
The development of civilization cannot be separated from population. Without population, a virtuous cycle social system cannot be formed.
At present, all forces are under military management. Although they are developing rapidly, they are all related to military affairs.
Although doing so can have a powerful military force to protect itself in a short period of time.
But there are limits to this kind of development.
When the expansion of military power exceeds the limit of what the population can bear.
Many social problems will arise, and population development will become extremely slow.
More serious consequences may even lead to chronic death and breakdown bit by bit.
Population is the foundation. How strong the population is, how strong the foundation is.
"Jessica, the future is never a straight line. All humans on this line may cause a bifurcation of this line due to a small move, and the future will change because of this, but this is another False proposition, because the future is unknown, because if you don’t know, the future is now, and the future you can see and think of is just your personal fantasy of the future.”
Having said this, Li Meng stared straight ahead, with a calm expression on his face.
He said calmly: "The future of S-sector is not something you and I can control. The current situation is unpredictable, and humans with complex emotions are all uncertain factors. Never think about what the future will be like, just do your best in the present. , if you do a good job in the present, you will naturally move towards a better path in the future.”
is that so?
Looking at Li Meng's side face, a trace of curiosity flashed in Jessica's eyes.
Li Meng is not old, only in his twenties.
But what he said was inconsistent with his age.
In Jessica's view, young people should behave like young people.
Being energetic and making mistakes is just a kind of life that adolescence must experience.
Although she was very young, Li Meng felt like she was talking to an old man who had gone through vicissitudes of life.
Otherwise, how could there be so many great truths.
It's hard to argue with, and it makes sense.
With a pursed smile, Jessica shook her head and said: "You, it feels like you are talking to an old man. Every word you say is a great truth. It is impossible to refute, but it feels very reasonable."
Li Meng just smiled at Jessica's words.
In the long metal corridor, the two figures gradually disappeared.
Time is passing little by little, and the night is getting darker...
Early the next morning, in Jessica's room.
There is no day or night in the dark universe.
There is a star not far away, and the side facing the star is always bright.
In front of the window, Li Meng stood quietly in a silver gray robe, looking at the bright stars outside.
With special glass filtering, the star looks like a burning fireball.
The surface is a boiling ion flame, surging like ocean waves.
Li Meng didn't know how much time had passed or what time it was.
The look on his face was thoughtful, and Li Meng thought of the "Morning Parliament".
He had a strong feeling that something big was about to happen.
This matter has nothing to do with the "Xinjing Shogunate" and everything to do with the Blue Devils.
But the Blue Devils are not the protagonist, but something more important than the Blue Devils is about to happen.
If you are an ordinary person, you may just be too nervous and care too much about the Blue Devil natural disaster incident.
But Li Meng is no ordinary person, he is a living saint.
His senses are akin to perceptions and more akin to predictions of danger.
At this time, behind Li Meng, the figure under the blanket on the bed moved.
Jessica, who was sleeping, opened her eyes.
She stood up and sat up, looking around with confusion in her eyes.
Jessica woke up when she saw Li Meng standing in front of the window.
The soft blanket slipped off her body, and her plump, graceful body was immediately exposed to the air.
The coolness in front of her made Jessica pull up the blanket to block the exposed spring light on her chest.
Looking behind her, she can see her white, smooth back and graceful waist.
And those round buttocks...
After a hunch, Jessica lazily lifted the blanket.
She came to the desk naked, took out a box of medicine, and poured herself a glass of water.
Holding the water glass, Jessica came to Li Meng's side.
She followed Li Meng's gaze and looked out the window.
