Deep in Mongolia's Altai Tavanbogdo National Park, bad weather is causing trouble for Lin Shuo and others.

The previous heavy snowfall was just the prelude to this series of bad weather.

Immediately after that, a blizzard came, and the wind carried the snowflakes raging in the mountains.

Manpower is sometimes poor, and in this case, it becomes a luxury to continue on the road.

Fortunately, Zhang Jin, who led the way, was a clever one, and took the lead in bringing the team into a cave before the storm hit.

This cave is not deep, it is more than three meters or four meters away, judging from the traces of the cave wall, it should be an artificial cave, but the age is very old.

The original murals painted with animal blood on the cave walls are still clearly legible after 10,000 years, but what is painted on them, no one has the heart to ponder.

Because since they are free, everyone's thoughts are on the book "Zhang Guohua's Notes".

At this time, the wind and snow outside, and the ancient murals in the cave, like the bonfire burning inside the cave, are just the background of this shocking secret.

The five people on this trip, in the gap between the previous hurries, have all read this notebook.

Zhang Guohua's grammar habits are very capable, his writing is concise and to the point, and the calligraphy font frame is also very large, so there is not much content in this thin booklet.

This booklet, if it is in the hands of a dealer who sells old books, may be thought to be an autobiographical novel with the theme of ghosts and foxes in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the author's pen skills are still very poor.

But in fact, this is the most precious first-hand information about the "King of Mountain Hades" at present.

The history of Hunting Gate is almost synchronous with human civilization, and written records and legends can be roughly traced back to 10,000 years ago.

There are exact written records, and it is still preserved today, from the small seal to the present, more than 2,200 years.

And Zhang Guohua is the first human to officially contact the "King of Mountain Yama", which has not been done before.

Wei Xingshan, as the logistics equipment transport vehicle of everyone on this trip, has a complete range of things in his backpack, but there is no pen and paper.

Therefore, Lin Shuo borrowed a notebook from Dilan, then tore it open, returned half of it, and spread the other half in this stone cave, and used a carbon pen to copy this "Zhang Guohua's Notes".

This job was originally supposed to be the Cao family's hunters, they were responsible for the collection and summary of the information of the hunting gate, and the information about the prey in the hands of each family in the hunting door would be summarized in the Cao family, and then the Lin family, as the head of the family, would also prepare a copy.

But in this operation, the Cao family hunters did not come, and Lin Shuo, as the leader of the hunting gate, could work harder.

This notebook belongs to the Zhang family, and the hunting door has no right to confiscate it, but according to the convention, there is no problem in copying a copy.

Lin Shuo copied his notes in the light of the bonfire, and there was a howling wind and snow outside the cave, and there was silence inside the cave.

Before the blizzard came, everyone had read this notebook one after another, but after reading it, it took time to digest the contents inside.

And among them, people with a relatively simple knowledge structure, such as Wei Xingshan, can't digest it if he is given more time.

This man fiddled with the bonfire for a while, and finally couldn't hold back the many questions in his heart, and wanted to ask Lin Shuo, but found that he was busy copying, and Xiaoba was standing on his shoulder and dozing.

Looking at Zhang Jin again, I remembered that he was a stammer.

Look for A

e, I found that the woman was wearing leather gloves and arranging something at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at it, only Dylan was idle.

So the man coughed softly and asked, "Miss Dilan, do you have any opinion on this book that Lao Lin is currently copying?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin's handwriting to be so beautiful. Di Lan looked at Lin Shuo's notes and said softly, "Chinese calligraphy, my father likes it very much, and the family has a lot of collections. Although I myself write mediocre, I still have the ability to appreciate it. Mr. Lin's hand is upright, his posture is graceful, and he has the style of Zhao Mengfu of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is really powerful. ”

"I didn't ask you this. Wei Xingshan waved his hand, "I mean Zhang Guohua's notes." ”

"This Mr. Zhang, it can be seen that he has also put a lot of effort into calligraphy, but his attainments are far inferior to Mr. Lin. Dylan said.

"I didn't ask about calligraphy. Wei Xingshan was a little anxious, "Content, I'm talking about content." ”

"Isn't the content the same as what these two people wrote? Mr. Lin is copying Mr. Zhang's. Dylan smiled slightly.

"Yes. Wei Xingshan glanced at Lin Shuo and complained, "This girl can't understand human words. ”

"Old Wei. Lin Shuo said lightly while writing, "Since I am asking others for advice, I will lower my posture." I want Miss Di, a great scientist, to tell you the doorway in your notes, but it's not right for you to ask that. ”

"Then how do you ask?" Wei Xingshan asked.

"You have to know first, what Miss Di wants to hear now. Lin Shuo nodded and continued to bow his head and copy the book.

"Miss Di, what do you want to hear now?" Wei Xingshan asked with a blank eye.

Di Lan smiled faintly: "I didn't hear Captain Wei say before, but any speculation and inference should be stuffed in your stomach, don't say it to mislead others." I think you're right, so I don't have much of an opinion on this notebook at the moment. ”

The corners of Wei Xingshan's mouth twitched, thinking that you woman really hold a grudge.

When there was a meeting at the police station before, Di Lan made some inferences about Yang Tuo's scientific research report, and was scolded back by Wei Xingshan on the spot.

"Miss Di, please accept my sincere apologies. Wei Xingshan immediately changed his face.

Face is not important at all to this mercenary leader who licks blood with a knife head.

Seeing this man apologize, Di Lan nodded, looking satisfied, and then said: "Mr. Lin, I have some immature conjectures about this notebook, and I want to discuss it with you." ”

"Please. Lin Shuo didn't raise his head.

This is A

After arranging the "painting prison" at the entrance of the cave, E had already returned, sat between Lin Shuo and Di Lan, and then stretched out his hand and gently touched Xiao Ba's back.

Hachi was dozing off and opened his eyes to see A

e glance and continue to sleep with your eyes closed.

A

E Waner smiled, picked up Xiaoba, and hugged him in his arms.

This starling simply sleeps with his belly facing up in A

e in the arms, it seems to be very enjoyable.

Dylan observes this A

E's actions made her face a little distracted, but she recovered immediately and continued: "From Mr. Zhang Guohua's notes, we know that the species 'Mountain Yama King' has undergone six morphological changes. They are storks, wolves, cows, crocodiles, leopards, elephants, and tigers.

Among them, the last time the old gentleman encountered the 'King of Mountain Yama' was a giant tiger, which is consistent with the information we have so far.

Mr. Zhang Guohua's final inference, these seven-headed creatures are actually the same thing, I agree with him, and based on this, I have the following inferences. ”

Speaking of this, Di Lan glanced at Wei Xingshan: "What I want to say next, with Mr. Wei's knowledge, it may not be easy to understand, if there is something you don't understand, you can ask questions." ”

Wei Xingshan rolled his eyes: "My old Wei is a person who has received nine-year compulsory education, and his comprehension ability is no problem." ”

Dylan did not refute, but continued: "Mr. Lin, do you agree with the idea that 'life is maintained by constantly reducing entropy'?"

"It's over, this first sentence is not human. Wei Xingshan sighed and looked at A

e，“A

Miss E, translator, translator?"

A

E held Xiaoba in his arms, his arms shook gently, he didn't speak, but glanced at Lin Shuo, which meant to listen to Lin Shuo's statement first.

At this time, Lin Shuo, with the pen in his hand, looked slightly stunned.

He thought for a moment and asked, "You mean this entropy, it should be information entropy, right?"

"That's right. Dylan seemed a little surprised.

I agree with that. Lin Shuo nodded, "No life can escape this category, including the 'Mountain Hades King'." ”

A

E nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with this view, and then explained to Wei Xingshan: "In terms of thermodynamic definition, entropy refers to a measure of the degree of chaos in a system. The term information entropy, 'i

fo

matio

e

t

opy', borrowed from the concept of thermodynamics, is used to describe the uncertainty of a source. Between the two can be converted by formulas.

Wei team, or you can understand it this way, information entropy is the absolute antonym of intelligence and information, and reducing entropy is equivalent to obtaining information and intelligence.

Life is maintained by constantly decreasing entropy.

The meaning of this sentence is that life ensures its existence through continuous access to information. ”

"Then why do you still use the term 'entropy'?" Wei Xingshan was puzzled.

"Because it's more accurate to use the concept of 'entropy reduction'. ”A

"Access to information is not the same as reducing entropy, but one of the ways. It's just that life on Earth has gone through a long evolution, and this is the only way to go. ”

"Oh. Wei Xingshan still didn't understand anything, but for now, he could only pretend to understand, and looked at Di Lan, "Miss Di Lan, you continue." ”

“A

Miss E is right. Biologically, life on Earth has evolved over billions of years, and the only way to reduce entropy is to obtain information. And what does life rely on to obtain information?" Di Lan asked rhetorically as he looked at Wei Xingshan.

Wei Xingshan opened his mouth and stammered, and only replied after a while: "This sister, I only finished junior high school. ”

"Knowledge. Dylan asked himself, "Life depends on knowledge to obtain information, so as to reduce entropy and maintain its own state." So how does life acquire knowledge?"

"I know that!" replied Wei Xingshan, "Study." ”

"Yes, study. Dylan asked, "How do you study?"

"Read!"

"That's a human learning method, how do you let a fly read a book?" Dylan asked again.

You continue. Wei Xingshan shrunk his neck.

"In the long process of evolution, the first learning method learned by life is reproduction. "Living organisms produce a large number of individuals that are similar to themselves, but also different by genetic mutations. Then use these children and grandchildren to ask about the current environment.

Is this set of genes suitable?

Whether these individuals can survive or not is equivalent to living beings learning.

Those who can survive in the environment mean that the mutated individuals are right before they reproduce themselves.

Then the whole set of genes corresponding to this individual, for the time being, is not wrong, and they are eligible for the next generation of reproduction.

For whoever is wrong is dead.

And so on, from generation to generation, survival of the fittest, this is Darwin's theory of evolution. ”

Wei Xingshan's eyes lit up, "I've heard of this." ”

"Reproduction is the first learning method that living organisms have mastered. All species on the planet, in the very beginning, survived through this rudimentary means, at the cost of their own lives, through trial and error in the environment. "And the more advanced beings are, because there are more and more ways to obtain information, and the means are more and more sophisticated, such as the nervous system, such as intelligence, so they are less dependent on the primitive method of reproduction."

Fish need tens of thousands of fertilized eggs to ensure the continuation of their race. As for us humans, twins are already a small probability event. ”

"Oh! I see. Wei Xingshan nodded, and then asked, "But Miss Di, does what you said have anything to do with this notebook?"

"Yes. Di Lan said in a deep voice, "The contents of this notebook, in my opinion, are actually tantamount to telling us that the life form of the 'Mountain Yama King' is already advanced enough that it does not need to reproduce. The way it reduces entropy is actually the same as what Mr. Lin is currently doing. ”

"Huh?" Wei Xingshan turned his head and glanced at Lin Shuo.

Lin Shuo was copying the book, and when he heard this, he nodded with a smile, as if he acquiesced to Dilan's statement.

"That's copying someone else's. "It uses host iteration instead of reproducing itself." Other creatures use reproduction to ask about the environment, and then do it at the cost of their own lives. And the king of Sanyama is directly copying other people's answers.

And if the answer is wrong, it is the host who dies, not itself. And it itself, it will learn the lesson of the host's death, copy a more advanced answer next time, and even rewrite the genetic modification answer to try to make a more perfect answer.

This is the reason why Mr. Zhang Guohua obviously killed it six times, not only did it not die, but it became stronger and stronger. ”

"I'll go, it's too bad. Wei Xingshan pursed his lips.

"It's even more tricky. Dylan said.
