Chapter 10: Patian
Hongjun fell into contemplation, an organ with independent consciousness parasitic in his own body? The World Tree was shaped by itself with the aura of chaos, and communication between them requires direct contact or the use of the leaves to transit. And it can perform an action and operation on its own, although most of it is out of its own benefit, but it seems to be more in line with the characteristics of an independent individual. Then the World Tree can be defined as an independent existence created by oneself with the ability to act and think. And this black device... You can't take it out of your body yourself. It has a direct channel in its body that resembles a blood vessel. And although it is conscious, it is not capable of any real movements. Its existence seems to be an additional component with powerful computing power and massive information storage capabilities. In this way, it seems to be really more in line with the setting of body parts. When I think of this, my heart suddenly brightens. He said, "In that case, you can settle down here." If there is something that needs your help, I will communicate with you in a timely manner. Also, I think I should give you a name, since you have a huge database, do you have a favorite name? ”
"Patian"
"Patian?"
"Yes, there is a text in my database, and one of the computing devices mentioned above is also conscious, but my logic processor determines that the text content is constructed and does not match the information in the entire database. But it's very similar to me now, the same computing device with consciousness, the same world that doesn't match the main database, and the same powerful owner. So, I applied to name myself Patian. ”
"Well, Patian, I've given myself the name Hongjun. Then your full name in the future will be Hongjun Patian. ”
"Okay, Master Hongjun."
"You just said that the energy didn't go away, did you?"
"Yes master, it began as an independent entity and scattered after breaking through that bottleneck, and after my probing did not find any of its previous breath or characteristics, I judge that its former functions have been transferred to your body as a whole. This may be the function it was originally designed to do, but it just didn't reach the energy level required by this function before. Patian said.
It seems that this is the only plausible explanation. Maybe in the future, he will be a humanoid self-propelled energy absorption and conversion device. Hongjun pondered for a moment, then said to Patian.
"The title of master seems to sound even more imposing." Patian's tone seemed to be tinged with excitement, and his tone was no longer mechanical-sounding synthesizes.
"Your tone...
"Master, based on the information in the database, I installed a voice pack for myself with a normal human speaking tone."
"Well, by the way, how did you calculate how long my consciousness had been in my body?"
"Master, there was a time when you seemed unable to communicate after that mass of energy had attached itself to your body. I read the memories of the World Tree and merged them into the database, but the time doesn't seem to match the information in the main database. Considering how reliable the World Tree is, I don't think there is any need for it to be faked, so I don't compare it with the database, and simply count the number of days, and come to the above conclusion. ”
"You can read the memories of the World Tree?" Hongjun's heart trembled when he heard Patian say that he couldn't communicate, and hurriedly put aside a fragment that he didn't want to remember, like Patian asked.
"Yes master, it is your creation, everything about it you can read and edit, even its existence or not can be decided by the master. Because the energy that makes it up comes from your body. Just like a colony of bees will unconsciously send messages like the queen bee, and will unconditionally execute the information that the queen bee feeds. ”
"Queen Bee?" Hongjun was confused.
"Master, this is the information recorded in the database." At that moment, Patian wanted Hongjun to explain.
"You mean that my creatures are constantly sending messages like themselves?" Hongjun asked after thinking about it.
"Not exactly, all objects are essentially energy, and at the same time they are entanglements of information. All beings, living and non-living, naturally have information attached to them. The difference is that some can be actively communicated and passively detected. Most of the time, the information is thought to be a slowly fluctuating wavy line, and only some information that has changed significantly will trigger the threshold. Just like a human being, the body does not usually receive a lot of information, and only notices the cold and heat when there is a sudden and large change in temperature. It is only noticed when there is a disease in the body or when it is affected by an external stimulus that causes pain. These are the information that exceeds the threshold, and only this information will be recorded. It is ignored when the information does not fluctuate much. And you and your creation have the same constituent part, which is the energy of chaos, and the sending and receiving of information between you is self-heating. It's like the World Tree can sense your presence and physical condition within his sensing range. The moment you couldn't get in touch, the World Tree sent a message asking for it, but you couldn't handle it at the time, and the message was forwarded to me. After that, I scanned all the information on the World Tree. And some very interesting results were obtained. ”
"There is a direct, fully accessible message between your creation and you. But the creation of your creation, which is also a second-level creation, for example, the object that is used to record time is a second-level creation. Between you and them is an ordinary entanglement of information. For that sundial, when you are not touching it, there is no difference between you and a lifeless stone, in terms of the transmission of information. ”
"You mean to say that I have complete control over my own creation, but no effect at all on the creation of creation?" Hongjun Qidao.
"In terms of information entanglement, it's like this. Your creation and you are entangled with a lot of information, which manifests itself in the instinctive feeling of intimacy, closeness, obedience, etc. Second-level creations are only entangled with the higher-level creations that created them, and will also behave similarly. But they are not entangled with you, those who are the same to you as the stone, and the second-level creation will not have special feelings for a stone. If a second-level creature is particularly fond of a particular stone and wears it all year round, then it will have a lot of information entangled with the stone, but it will not be entangled with the mountain that made the stone. ”
"Although, you won't have a direct entanglement with the second-level creation, but if you want this entanglement to happen. There are several ways. First, through the direct influence of the first-level creation, just like between a grandfather and a grandson, it is inevitable that there will be entanglement through the level of the son. Second, through contact and communication, it is like two people who don't know each other, no matter how much the level difference or generation difference between these two individuals is, they will be entangled from the first time they meet, but this entanglement is very subtle, and most of them will slowly disappear. But if the two continue to interact after that, then this entanglement will become more intimate with the increase of time and the deepening of the relationship, and then to a certain extent it will become a feeling, whether this feeling is friendly or hostile. ”
"I see." Hongjun said. "So for this world, the World Tree and those primordial seaweeds are my first-class creations, right? And the sundial and other plants are second-level or even third-level or fourth-level creations, right? ”
"Yes, but not all creation has feelings. The amount of information about living and non-living things is also different, and even the entanglement between the World Tree and the sundial it directly creates is quite small. Although the World Tree and Seaweed belong to the same first-class creation, the energy given to them by their owners is very different. So the high-energy, intelligent beings like the World Tree know that you are powerful, but the seaweed knows nothing about it. Actually, seagrass is not strictly your creation. You were the one who inadvertently lost the Chaos Qi and turned it into seaweed. The World Tree was intentionally done by you, and at that time you were injected into the manufacturing process of the World Tree, which was an important reason why the World Tree was able to form a spiritual intelligence. Patian said.
"Well, that's complicated." Hongjun sighed, looking at the asteroid in the sky that tended to be more spherical than before, its long rotors had shrunk a lot, and maybe in many years it would be a complete sphere. Suddenly he thought of something, and said to Patian, "It's night now, without that energy body, is the light of life still absorbing it?" ”
"Yes master, I can detect that the refracted light of the moon, which is what the World Tree calls the light of life, is being converted into chaotic qi in your body, this chaotic qi is a pure energy body, which can be transformed into various forms of energy, and it is with the electricity that it converts to work. And now your whole body can absorb it, and it's a lot faster than before. Patian said.
"And what time is it?"
"The world calendar is nineteen hundred and ninety-eight thousand seven hundred and forty thousand, five hundred and seventy seven, and ten hundred and fifteen days at eleven o'clock in the evening."
Hongjun had a headache when he heard this. "It took nearly two billion years for the core to absorb this change, so when will it take for the next time there will be a change?" Hongjun thought to himself, this main plot is going on so slowly, I'm afraid that when I see that woman, it will be far away. "Patian, is there any way to update this calendar? It's also too long. ”
"Master," said Patien, "time is such a thing as a magical thing. But for ordinary humans, time is a very important thing, after all, the time that non-immortal species have in their lifetime is very short. But for you, it's just a reference, and it doesn't really mean much. It is nothing more than that some events can be recorded in an orderly manner. I recommend that you keep this epoch. It is very necessary to record the coherence and commemoration of the event. From my database, there are also multiple epochs in the human world at the same time. It didn't make a difference. ”
"Okay then." Hongjun thought about it, it was not a complicated trivial matter. He beckoned the World Tree to use its branches to send itself to the top of the branch, looked at the sea in the distance, and said, "World Tree, tell me about the changes over the years. ”
"Master, in the past two billion years, these plants have expanded to all suitable places on the entire planet, and the air on the planet has been purified to the extreme. However, due to the extreme situation, the part of the air that plants can absorb at night is becoming less and less, and there is already a phenomenon of plants withering and dying in some areas. ”
"This is because plants are photosynthesizing, they absorb carbon dioxide from the air, which, combined with sunlight, can produce oxygen. When carbon dioxide levels are reduced, the living conditions of plants are reduced. Animals, on the other hand, absorb oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. This is the basis of the ecological cycle. At this point, Patian said in his mind.
"It seems that animals need to join the cycle, otherwise the world will be a little boring with only plants." Hongjun said. Unexpectedly, the World Tree said something that surprised him.
"Master, there are already animals here." The world said unhurriedly. Hongjun hurriedly stood up, looked at the rest of the island, and said to the world, "Hurry up." ”
