Chapter 652: Self-Sacrifice and Dedication
At the beginning of the intensive organization of the actions of the same people, they sensed that there were people of the same race who were in contact with them and tried to have a dialogue.
"What's the matter?" First question.
"At the beginning, if you plan to master the ability to use the spiritual realm through the people of the Holy Worm State, then I need to remind you that this will not work, and we will not be able to use the spiritual realm."
The subject delivers such an answer after the initial questioning, and initially responds based on this fragment of information.
"Your reminder is meaningless, I haven't forgotten that the Spirit Venerable has always been a trouble for the clan, and it is precisely because of them that the clan has given up the development and utilization of the spirit domain."
The effect shown by the spiritual domain, the gatherers don't want to use it on the clan, but no, because the spiritual domain is the territory of the spiritual venerable, where they have the final say, and God has to stand aside.
After the first Huo Gu entered the spiritual realm, after many temptations of the pilgrims' objects, it was not difficult for the gatherers to enter the spiritual realm, but the method was different from those pilots in the Holy Vorm State, and it was more complicated and troublesome.
However, the significant difference with those pilots in the Holy Worm State is that every time the gatherers enter the spiritual realm, they can be said to be nine deaths, and the probability of survival is infinitely close to zero, and every time they enter the spiritual realm, they will meet the spirit venerable in the next moment.
It is impossible to defeat the Spirit Venerable in the Spirit Domain, this is the lesson that the gatherers have summed up at the cost of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, except for some restrictions, the Spirit Venerable can basically be said to be omnipotent in the Spirit Domain.
I won't and dare not forget these at the beginning.
"I'm doing it for other purposes...... Of course, it's still related to the spiritual realm. ”
At the time of the initial communication with other individuals, the individual gatherer responsible for capturing the pilots of the Holy Worm State successfully completed his work and returned with the three-digit pilots.
"We've brought the people, where do we put them?" Individuals who complete the task are questioned at the beginning.
"There's no need to deliberately bring it to the planet, the space fortress of the Holy Worm State is simply repaired as a foothold for these aliens."
"Understood."
At the beginning of the instructions given to his fellow clansmen, the three-digit pilots of the Holy Worm State leaped into the creature cluster and marched towards the wreckage of the space fortress near the stargate.
"Captured a captive so quickly?!"
Individuals who had just communicated with each other were amazed by the efficiency of their kind.
It's not bad, but I can't understand what's going on, and even if the Coordination Committee doesn't intervene, it's very unlikely that the collectors will want to capture a three-digit pilot in such a short period of time.
According to the individual's thoughts, this must have something to do with Hatsu, who wondered what methods Chu used to increase the efficiency of capturing the enemy so much.
"That's because you've known to be brutal before, and sometimes it's better to use your brain than your hands."
After Chu Zai knew about it, he replied to the subject in a tone of admonition.
"I don't understand."
After thinking about it, I began to organize the appropriate language to answer the questions for my fellow tribesmen - this was done without affecting the collective command, after all, the collective is the first gatherer.
"Why do soldiers exist? Why do heroes exist? This is all because of the concept of collectivity, and some social creatures will take the initiative to sacrifice their own interests in order to save the collective interests when the collective interests are damaged, and this behavior is labeled as 'self-sacrificing for others' by social creatures. ”
"It's the same as us."
As originally stated, the subjects thought of themselves.
However, Chu did not agree, but it is also strange that he did not express his objection.
"It's the same, it's not the same, only some of them will behave like this, and the other part will only think about their own interests with the betrayers."
"And in the part of sacrificing one's own behavior, there are also differences, divided into different levels."
The subject was stunned, it had never heard of such a thing, it was new knowledge beyond genetic memory, and its curiosity was gradually aroused.
"Is this still graded?"
"That's right, it's graded."
Answer with confidence, and then explain everything it knows as you see fit.
"The general act of self-sacrifice only appears between the mother and the child, and the mother will protect and support the growth of the child without compensation, and the Serens call this the 'family', which is a small collective, which belongs to the majority of social creatures and is universal."
"The previous level is the large collective, which refers to self-sacrifice for a certain group, which is the level of social beings who are called 'heroes', and they are usually very capable, because to achieve self-sacrifice for the large group, it takes enough ability as a foreshadowing."
The so-called great collective is a certain organization, a certain country, a certain group, as long as there is a life within a scope that has given up sacrificing itself for the sake of the collective, that life is the second level.
Of course, Chu didn't say anything to death.
"However, it is not absolute, there are exceptions to everything, and in some special circumstances or circumstances, incapable individuals will also commit acts of self-sacrifice for the larger collective."
"This is how these captives came to be by taking advantage of the nature of social creatures and using destruction as a bargaining chip to ask them to voluntarily participate in our experiments."
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use powerful force to give a considerable degree of deterrence to the people of the Holy Worm State, using all the intelligent species on the planet as bargaining chips, for such a collective, those pilots who can enter and leave the spiritual realm at will will naturally be tied up and participate in the experiment.
Even if they don't want to, the rest of the group will find a way to tie them up and give them to the gatherers, after all, they can do anything as long as they can survive.
Selfish pilots will choose to escape, and then be intercepted and killed by the gatherers, and selfless pilots who are willing to sacrifice themselves become captives of the gatherers.
"What about us? Are we also social creatures, do we belong first or second? ”
After listening for a long time, the individual couldn't find a kind that could correspond to the gatherer, so he wanted to get an answer from Chu.
"We are the third, gratuitously sacrificing ourselves for the sake of the whole civilization, for the whole race." The First Path.
The gatherers belong to the third type, and the base is also very large, but not limited to amoeba, other civilizations also use such people, but the number is very rare, it can be said that it is rare, and it is rare to find in a hundred years.
A very simple question can determine if that person is such a one-in-a-million person - can you work to the death for another complete stranger for free?
Normally sapient species can't do that, because they all have the selfishness that is imprinted in their genes.
"Is there a fourth one?" Subject asked.
After thinking about it at first, I was not very sure of the reply, "...... It feels unlikely, and the act of self-sacrifice for everything is unimaginable. ”
Initially their discussions were interrupted by other instances, and the Space Fortress was repaired by the Collectors and placed in the captive Dormant Pilot.
"The Space Fortress has been repaired, should you wake these captives now?" The gatherer who completes the task asks Hatsu.
"No, don't rush them to wake up yet." The First Path.
"There are two other things that need to be done before the experiment can be done."
"What's missing? We're going to find it right away. ”
As long as it is for the sake of the clan, even if the gatherers are allowed to go up the knife mountain and down the oil pot, they will not hesitate.
"Don't look for them, those two things were made, and they were built near that repaired space fortress."
The first glance looked out over to the space fortress in the distance, where it had already chosen a location to build.
How the Zerg are made
