Chapter III

What will a civilization that was able to research and manufacture such a scientific and technological level of 400,000 years ago develop into today, 400,000 years later? With this doubt in mind, Su Xing asked Feng Lixi.

"Who knows?"

Her answer was as simple and direct as ever, "Maybe they have already self-destructed, maybe they have developed to a certain extremely high level and left this river system, of course, it is not ruled out that the galaxy they are in has encountered some kind of flying disaster and is directly cold." ”

Spreading his hands, Feng Lixi looked at him, "In the final analysis, this matter was originally an accident, you should know that the development of some civilizations is prone to serious deviations, I think, the civilization that created this cultivation cabin may also be one of these biased students." ”

"Why do you say that?"

She hooked her fingers, and a detailed exploded view appeared between the two of them, "This is the analysis diagram of that cultivation pod, you can understand it by looking at it." ”

A minute later, Su Xing's expression suddenly changed, no wonder Feng Lixi would say this, it turned out that the design and manufacturing level of this cultivation cabin and the biological agents carried in it were too different. If it takes another three to five hundred years for human biotechnology to reach the level of this civilization, then it will only take twenty or thirty years for human beings to catch up with them in the level of mechanical manufacturing, and even the level of some laboratory products is not much different from it.

The gap between them is incredible.

He really couldn't imagine that the technological development of a civilization would be so serious, and according to this inference, it is not impossible for Feng Lixi's guess that they will eventually destroy themselves.

"Can you analyze what this preparation was originally used for?"

"Theoretically, it should be used to breed some kind of custom creature with a specific purpose. ”

Once again, Kazarich grabbed a tentacle from the ocean and expertly concocted it into a grilled squid ring, "Maybe it's an energy plant, because there are too few traces left, and I'm not sure." ”

"Energy plants?"

Su Xing was a little puzzled, "Something like a diesel tree? This is a little too low-end, right?"

It's hard to imagine that this civilization is still using this method to obtain energy, shouldn't it be just nuclear fusion or high-efficiency solar energy? At the very least, it should be nuclear fission.

"I can't say the same, I tried to fix the records that remained in the genetic information of the tea tree mushroom, and guess what I found?"

She smiled slyly and deliberately sold a pass.

"Hmm, could it be that the energy they use is special?" Su Xing guessed, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of any other possibility.

"Almost," Frishi projected another image, "what they're using is most likely a heavily decayed product of a fifth force." This decay is so severe that the fifth force, which was originally an immaterial entity, has become an entity that can be accessed and studied by ordinary people. ”

"Are you sure?"

"It's so-so, after all, it's back to that question, there is too little information left, and too much time has passed. ”

This is a substance, how to put it, what can be called emotional energy. It exists objectively in the world in a material form like petroleum and coal, which can be mined in various ways, but at the same time it can be transformed by the strong emotions of living beings.

According to Kamorihi's speculation, the emotional energy of a normal adult male in a situation of extreme anger is roughly equivalent to a small 20,000-kilowatt thermal power station running at full power for an hour, and of course, this strong emotion must last long enough. There are also corresponding formulas for the transformation power of various other emotions, but she is too lazy to list them one by one.

Obviously, this state of affairs is difficult for the bearer of emotions to sustain for a long time. So it's no surprise that they're going to find a different way to grow this plant.

In the final analysis, the so-called emotions are just the product of the interaction of some hormones and electrical signals.

"Of course, the decay product of the fifth force is certainly not that simple, and I don't know how they came up with the idea of solving this problem in this way, but one thing is certain, that civilization, there is some connection between the Absolute and the Void. ”

Su Xing was stunned, "But, even the first-generation void, didn't it only appear so many decades ago?

"Then, why do you think that the fifth force, a power with infinite possibilities, only began to intersect with this universe at that time?"

She stared at Su Xing, her eyes blazing, "As long as it's possible, it's inevitable." You should understand how incredible the fifth force is. Even I don't dare to think I've mastered it thoroughly, and even though it's just a guess on my part, maybe there really is a magical primordial emotional energy in this universe? ”

"So, can we reproduce it now?"

"Absolutely. ”

The silver-white light waved with her fingertips, outlining one after another delicately shaped parts in the air, as if they had life, dexterously like a swimming fish quickly assembled into one instrument after another, and soon, a specific and micro emotional energy production line appeared in front of Su Xing.

"I can only guarantee that the two steps of input raw materials and output energy are absolutely restored, as for the rest, it is all my blind guessing. ”

With a casual wave of his hand, Kamori began the simulated production of emotional energy.

A tall plant, which bears a five-to-six resemblance to the tea tree mushroom family, is fed into a sealed container, and then the stimulus that stimulates it to produce more than a dozen strong emotions at the same time begins to work.

"This process is a little cruel. ”

Su Xing pursed his lips, "It's also fortunate that they don't have self-awareness, otherwise they would definitely be exposed." ”

"But then again, who knows if they resisted at all?"

He could clearly see the shortcomings of this technology, and there was a probability of about 1 in 10 million that there would be self-aware individuals in these plants, and what that meant was very simple.

"Ah, now it seems that it would not be strange that they were destroyed by their own creation. In particular, the vitality of this plant is so strong, and its adaptability to the environment is also incredible. Considering their mechanical level, well, that's interesting!"11
