"The speed of thinking of living beings is not only related to the performance of the brain, but also to the amount of energy that the organism can obtain."

"If you think of the brain as a computer, it's easy to understand that to drive a supercomputer, you need to consume a lot of energy, and the premise of this energy is that there must be such an energy source in the environment."

"Therefore, on a planet that is completely covered with ice and snow and has a very low temperature, if life is born and a brain is evolved, the speed of thinking should generally be very slow, which is the result of natural selection, and in a region where energy resources are scarce, it is the most correct choice to evolve a brain with the least energy consumption."

"On the other hand, if it is a celestial body with abundant energy like a star, once life appears and has a brain, then their thinking speed should be a super life at the same level as the light brain, even if because of their biological nature, the performance is not comparable to the artificial light brain specially used for calculations, it is only slightly inferior."

"The comparison between the two is probably the difference between the early mobile phone and the Sunway Taihu Light in Wuxi City......"

Huo Gu just babbled like this, as if he was muttering a dream, and analyzed the situation he had encountered before.

When the analysis ends, a long silence ensues.

After a long time, Huo Gu gave up on himself and complained.

"What's the use of analyzing and analyzing now? Not an afterthought yet? If I had paid attention a little earlier, instead of focusing on that guy, or letting the cluster of cells in the planet's orbit stay in the planet's orbit, I wouldn't have fallen into this predicament now. ”

Hogu is the cluster consciousness of the entire cell population, once there is something abnormal in Hogu, all cells will inevitably be implicated, and vice versa.

At that time, Hogu did not expect that the global cooling would cause a slowdown in his thinking, but only changed the permeability of the cell membrane to cope with the cooling environment.

It's no wonder that it makes such a mistake, because it has never encountered anything like this, either in human times or since it became a cluster mind, which is unheard of.

At the moment, Hogu is in a rather passive and disadvantageous state, in which there is only one thing it can do - wait.

Hogu can interfere with reality because it has a group of cells that are completely under its control, and the bond between them is 'instructions', and the cells will faithfully carry out the instructions when they receive them.

However, with Hogu's current state of thinking slowing down to the limit, a simple steering command could take decades to fully reach the cells.

"It's too big this time......"

"Why do you think I'm ...... Alas...... Although I can understand that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, it is also too ......"

In fact, the simple way to avoid slowing down the mind is to maintain the temperature, which is a breeze for Hogu, that is, it only needs to pay attention to it, and it does not have to suffer this kind of sin at all.

Every time he thinks about it, Huo Gu is annoyed, if it is said that this is a disaster that cannot be avoided, it is just that, Huo Gu can accept it calmly, but the problem is that this is an avoidable disaster, and it is only because of mistakes that it has led to the current situation, which is the fundamental reason why Huo Gu can't let go.

[Are you so distressed?] I think this state is okay, at least temporarily away from a lot of troubles]

"You know what? There's a psychotic guy who wants to kill me all the time, what can I do? Isn't it like saying to that guy, 'Come here and kill me'? ”

Huo Gu, who was already restless, immediately subconsciously retorted, and there were several rhetorical questions in a row, plus during this time, Huo Gu has maintained a high-intensity battle, and his words are also full of anger.

Think about it, I have been pressed and beaten by others, and now someone has jumped out to say cool words, who is not popular?

However, the unknown interlocutor did not seem to be provoked, but was intrigued by Hogu's words.

[Eh——? How did you mess with each other? Can't you just communicate and ask the other party to forgive you? 】

"I haven't done anything, the whole thing is that guy is inexplicably nervous! And the crux of the matter is that that guy has no intention of communicating at all, every contact is full of hostility, meeting is a fight, if you change it, what are you going to do? Obediently killed? ”

"Also, I'll tell you about ......."

Huo Gu, who had not communicated with anyone for a long time, suddenly opened the conversation box, and his words were like a flood bursting from the embankment, pouring out, completely uncontrollable.

The unknown interlocutor was very considerate and did not interrupt Huogu's words, but quietly listened to Huogu's various resentful words as a listener.

I don't know how long it has been, but Huo Gu finally ended the gushing bitterness in his heart.

[Mmmm, it turns out to be such an unreasonable guy, I sympathize with you......]

"That's it! What unit of the International Space Center are you from? I'll talk to Old Tang when I go back, and I'll give you some way......"

Huo Gu suddenly got stuck in a tone of finding a confidant, and after the intense and surging emotional catharsis, only calmness remained in his thoughts.

The two remained silent, the other seemed to be patiently waiting for Huo Gu to finish what he wanted to say, and Huo Gu only realized at this moment that he was communicating with a completely strange and unknown guy.

For a long time, the unknown interlocutor, who seemed to have a good temper, also showed some impatience.

[Why don't you speak? 】

Huo Gu just wanted to open his mouth to answer, but when the words came to his mouth, he took them back again, and after thinking about it, he replied to the other party's inquiry.

"Who are you?"

[Huh? Why is this question being asked now? 】

"Uh......"

Huo Gu was speechless for a while, the other party's question made it a little embarrassed, it can't be said that he wants to find a place to pour bitter water because he has been under too much pressure to survive for a long time, right?

However, the other party did not intend to delve into this, and still gave Huo Gu a reply.

[Actually...... I don't know who I am, I never know, so I can't answer your question. 】

"Huh? How is this possible? ”

Huo Gu immediately felt that the other party was trying to fool himself.

[It's true! 】

This time, the interlocutor, who had been in excellent temper from the beginning, finally experienced more intense mood swings.

[Well, since you don't believe it, you must already know who you are, right? So, tell me first. 】

【You...... What is it? 】
