Erin stood on the stage, smiling as she accepted the cheers from the audience, when suddenly, Macol stood up. His expression showed a sense of unwillingness, and then he picked up the microphone.
"Erin, I request a rematch," Macol's voice pierced through the noisy crowd.
"Oh?" Erin looked surprised but also a little curious. "What do you have in mind?"
"I propose a simulated Multiverse observation competition," Macol said. "We are all seasoned observers, and we should solve this problem in the way we are truly good at."
The venue fell silent, then erupted into cheers and applause. Such a competition was truly captivating for the members of The Eye of the Philosopher.
"Alright, I accept," Erin responded with a smile.
Neil and the robot stood in the crowd, exchanging a meaningful glance with each other.
"This is going to be a very interesting competition," Neil said to the robot in a low voice.
"Undoubtedly," the robot responded, "this will be a true test of the core technology and philosophy of The Eye of the Philosopher."
The equipment on the stage was quickly adjusted, and two special observation devices were set up, both connected to a large screen.
"The rules are simple," said Macol, "we will each observe a randomly selected Multiverse and report our observations within five minutes. The most insightful report will win."
Erin and Macol each walked to their observation devices, put on their helmets, and began their simulated Multiverse observations.
Neil and the robot still stood in the crowd, watching it all.
"No matter the outcome, this will be an important lesson," Neil said.
"Indeed," the robot replied, "this is not just a competition, but also an exploration of human nature, professional skills, and the true purpose of The Eye of the Philosopher."
Five minutes passed, and Erin and Macol both took off their helmets and walked to the center of the stage.
"Time's up, now let's listen to their report," said Macol.
The crowd was filled with anticipation and nervousness, as everyone wanted to know how these two senior observers would impress and ultimately decide the winner of this extraordinary showdown with their insights. Neil felt a surge of excitement, knowing that this would be another important experience in his learning and growth process at The Eye of the Philosopher.
Erin First, pick up the microphone, clear your throat, and then start speaking: "In the Multiverse that I have observed, I have seen a society with a completely different social structure from our own. There, material wealth is not the measure of a person's worth, but rather their contributions to society and culture. This has led me to rethink the values and goals of our society. Perhaps we also need to further explore and implement a more humane social system."
The whole place fell silent, then erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Macol took the microphone, looking serious: "What I observed in the Multiverse is completely different. There, people rely entirely on technology, to the point of losing their humanity. They use robots to do all the work, and people have fallen into endless laziness and decadence. This makes me even more certain that our mission is to maintain a balance between technology and humanity, to prevent society from going to extremes."
The crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
Neil and the robot exchanged a glance, both seeing the admiration and reflection in each other's eyes.
"Now, let's vote to decide whose report has more insight," Macol announced.
The crowd began to vote using their observation devices. After a few seconds, the result came out - a tie.
"Looks like we all have our own perspectives and insights. There may not be a winner in this game, but we are all winners," Erin said with a smile.
As Neil and the robot walked out of the locker room, their ears were filled with a kind of almost crazy enthusiasm. A group of members of The Eye of the Philosopher were shouting the names "Erin! Macol!" with the passion of an audience at a rock concert. This extremely excited scene made Neil feel incredible, even a little uneasy. In the organization of The Eye of the Philosopher, which has highly advanced Multiverse observation technology, senior observers and managers clearly have an almost sacred status.
However, as they gradually distanced themselves from that fervor, the passionate shouts also gradually became vague and weak, and eventually almost inaudible. They arrived at a quiet balcony, beneath an advanced artificial dome that simulated the beautiful night sky.
Neil walked to the edge of the balcony, gazing at the artificial night sky, couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then slowly sat down.
The robot walked over to him and sat gently in the nearby seat, then asked, "Neil, have you ever seen the real sky?"
Neil smiled slightly and said, "I have seen countless skies in the virtual world, each with its unique beauty and features. But today, during the assessment, the sky of that world... it was truly different." There was a hint of indescribable emotion in his tone.
"How is it different?" the robot asked.
Neil considered for a moment and chose more precise words to describe his feelings: "In the virtual world, every sky I see has its unique algorithms and parameters, all constructed by precise mathematical models. But the sky in the world of today's assessment is created by the ecology, history, culture, and even the emotions of every living being. That sky gives me a kind of power, a power that makes me want to understand and explore more."
The robot listened quietly, and after a while, it said, "Your description is very interesting, Neil. This is precisely one of the reasons why The Eye of the Philosopher advocates for the coexistence of science and sensibility. Science allows us to understand the world, but it is only through sensibility that we can truly 'feel' the world."
Neil nodded, feeling moved by these words. "I used to think that as an observer, I should remain neutral and objective, avoiding being influenced by any emotions. But now, I am beginning to realize that perhaps those emotions and sensibilities are exactly what we should be observing and understanding."
The robot smiled, if robots could smile. "You're making great progress, Neil. This level of understanding could make you an excellent observer, even a leader of change."
Neil took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a weight of responsibility. He gazed once again at the artificial starry sky, and suddenly, those twinkling stars were no longer just cold sources of light, but like countless little worlds, waiting for him to explore and understand.
