Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house
Chapter 1843 The Trolley Problem
Everyone who has entered the light gate has gone through such questions, and everyone has given their own understanding, which is different.
For example, someone as arrogant as Indra said, "My life is a miracle in this world! My existence itself is meaningful!"
As the only dog among the creatures behind the light gate, Labrador retriever Brian spread his hands and said, "This is a very serious question. You know, as a unique dog, I have a deep understanding of this world, unlike those hypocritical and ignorant humans. I often look up at the stars at night..."
No matter what answers they gave, the girl in red would give the same evaluation in the end.
by.
Everyone can pass the first level.
There is no standard answer. There is no so-called standard answer to this question itself. It only reflects people's understanding of the world and life.
As a result, everyone successfully reached the second level, which was the second world.
When Zhang Yi opened his eyes, he heard a rumbling sound in his ears and the night wind was howling. This was a huge valley, and he was standing on a speeding train.
The girl in red appeared beside him again, pointing ahead and saying:
"There are five people tied to the railroad ahead. The train is about to run over their bodies, and they will surely die."
She then pointed in another direction and said, "But there is a fork in the road not far away. You can choose to let the train drive onto the new road ahead to prevent those five people from being crushed to death."
"But there is also a person tied up on that road."
"Now, what will you choose?"
"Whether to let the train crush those five people and do nothing. Or to turn around and save those five people, but also kill another person."
Zhang Yi stood on the train, and a joystick appeared next to his hand, which could control the train's direction at any time.
His brows furrowed deeply.
At this time, he had already realized a problem.
The trials of the great god-level civilization, the criteria for selecting people, do not focus on strength - because there is no civilization that is stronger than them.
They want to screen people who can solve problems that they cannot solve themselves.
It must be about a higher level of meaning, and that kind of thing comes from human nature itself.
For example, the problem at the first level, and the current choice of humanity.
The train was still some distance away from the fork in the road ahead, giving Zhang Yi enough time to think.
He frowned, wondering how to make a decision that would satisfy the examiner in front of him.
And everyone who enters the world behind the light gate faces almost the same problem at this time.
It’s just that different people face different scenarios.
Same problem, different manifestation.
For example, Yitugal, what he saw was a huge steel castle like a mountain, and he encountered a small mobile castle on the way.
He couldn't stop the rapidly moving iron castle, so he had to either crush the small mobile castle in front of him or the smaller castle in another direction.
At this time, Uncle You was standing in the train's cab, his hands holding the joystick soaked with sweat.
Although he knew that everything was fake, he could hear the desperate cries of those people on the railway.
Since it is a trial, there must be ways to do some incredible things.
For example, let the wailing and pleading voices of those people reach his ears.
The five men said, "If you do nothing, we will die. But you have the ability to save us now. It should be easy for you to choose between one life and five lives."
The man on the other railway said, "Although I am alone, the train was not originally heading in my direction. I should not have died. If you changed the direction of the train, you would be my murderer."
"But if you do nothing, then their deaths have nothing to do with you. Because if you weren't here, they would have died anyway."
Two different voices sounded in Uncle You's ears, making him feel torn.
His hands were shaking violently, and he did not make a choice until the train passed the location of the five people.
He did not make a choice, although in form it was no different from choosing to crush five people to death or choosing to do nothing.
But this is a trial, and choosing to do nothing has completely different meanings than doing nothing.
So he was eliminated by the girl in red and turned into a ray of light and disappeared from this world.
The next moment, he returned to the outside of the light gate. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Uncle You sighed, but shook his head without any regrets.
And one after another, many people were teleported to the outside world.
The second level eliminated many people.
Their choices were different. Some chose to crush five people to death, while others chose to change their route and exchange one person's life for five lives, but they were also eliminated.
They looked at each other, and Uncle You also discovered that some members of the Fuying Force and the God Team were here, so he went over to ask.
"How did you get eliminated?"
He saw several familiar faces in the crowd, such as Xing Tian, the leader of the Qingpu Base.
Xing Tian spread his hands in bewilderment: "I don't really know, but when I was faced with the choice, I hesitated for a long time. Although I changed direction at the last moment, I was still eliminated."
Uncle You frowned and muttered to himself, "But I didn't make a choice. I just let the train run normally and was still eliminated. So no matter what choice I make, it won't affect the result."
Others were also talking about it.
In fact, there are only two choices. Everyone’s reasons are similar, but they don’t know why they are the ones who are eliminated.
Uncle You sighed and said, "Perhaps we are lacking some special qualities!"
……
At this time in the huge valley, Fatty Xu was also facing the same test.
The girl in red was standing next to him, and asked as a bystander, "Then you can make a choice! Do you want to change the track of the train and let five people be crushed to death? Or do you want to change the direction and let the people on the other track die?"
"What would you choose?"
Fat Xu hesitated for a long time. The train rumbled along, and the conversation between the people on the two tracks also echoed in his mind.
After a while, he loosened his grip on the joystick and took two steps back.
“I choose to do nothing.”
The girl in red asked, "Why?"
Fatty Xu said hesitantly: "It's too difficult for me to decide the life and death of others. So I simply don't think about this issue and let the train move on its own."
"This is what should have happened regardless of my presence. So it has nothing to do with me."
The girl in red nodded at the explanation given by Fatty Xu.
"Consider everything as a bystander?"
Fat Xu looked at the girl in red nervously. The train was still moving rapidly at this moment, and it seemed that it was about to run over the people in front, but it had not yet reached the fork in the road.
"Can I pass this?"
He didn't have much hope in himself. After all, there was really nothing praiseworthy about such a cowardly and weak behavior.
But the next moment, he saw the girl in red nodded slightly.
"You passed."
Fat Xu was ecstatic, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, I am an extraordinary genius!"
……
When the same problem appeared in front of Itugal, after listening to the rules of the girl in red, he pulled the joystick without hesitation, causing the giant steel castle to change its route and crush the small steel castle.
"Sacrificing individual interests for the benefit of the collective is inevitable at some point!"
The red-dressed girl did not comment on his actions, but just asked:
"So, what if you were the one being sacrificed?"
Yitugal still did not hesitate at all, and said calmly: "Me too."
No one can lie in front of the girl in red.
It is extremely stupid to lie in front of such a high-level being.
So what Yitugal said was exactly what he really thought. He could really sacrifice his life for the survival of the Cang Jiyuan civilization.
Because his existence has been too long, life is not something worth lingering on for him.
It's not just him.
This is true for Loridek, Pratos, the other ten demons, and their companions who self-destructed one after another over the long era.
The only goal of their existence till now is to allow Cang Jiyuan to remain in this world.
Because when a civilization is completely destroyed, all living things are gone, and all traces of civilization are blown away by the wind.
Then their existence would be completely meaningless.
The girl in red nodded.
"You have passed this test."
……
As for King Arthur, he looked at the speeding train ahead and released the joystick just like Fatty Xu.
"All men are born equal and free, and no one can make decisions about the life of another."
"If the price I have to pay to save these five people is to let another innocent person die, I firmly oppose it!"
"So, I will not change the direction of the train."
The girl in red asked calmly, "But if you do nothing, you will just have to watch the five people on the track ahead die. Do you think this is the right thing to do?"
King Arthur answered without hesitation: "I am not qualified to decide the life and death of others. If I use one life to save five people, it is also murder. As for the five people on the track ahead, they should have died if it were not for me."
King Arthur's answer was approved by the girl in red, so he also passed the test this time and was teleported to the next node.
……
Arnold Olib, a member of the Junzheng Church who holds multiple titles including Cardinal, Archangel Michael, and Death Knight, raised a question when faced with such a test.
"Are there any believers of the Junzheng Church among these people?"
The girl in red replied, "I don't know. Either they are all of them, or they are none of them. From an anthropological point of view, all their social attributes are exactly the same."
Olib raised the silver cross hanging on his chest, put it to his lips and kissed it.
Then he said: "Death is just returning to the arms of God, and it is not something to be afraid of. Only those who do not believe in God devoutly will fall into hell."
"So their life and death should be decided by God. I will only pray for them and ask God to decide whether they are guilty or not."
A strange color flashed in the eyes of the girl in red.
At this moment, she understood human religion.
So Olib was also teleported to the next node.
