Chapter 496: The Essence of Compound Eyes
There is no doubt that the Compound Eyes were very desperate for their lives, and they have not committed suicide until now, even though they have been captured.
After the door opened, Chen Feng walked inside.
Others had already put on their protective suits and hid on the other side of the corner.
Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, a large amount of physical toxins were sprayed from the inside, but fortunately, Chen Feng had been prepared and opened multiple shields in advance, and the other Star Peak warriors and special fighters were not idle.
Layer upon layer of energy shields stacked up in this small space.
The physical toxins released by the compound eyes were very penetrating, like a mist that diffused little by little, penetrating into the shield layer by layer.
It's a pity that the human race was too well prepared, and in the end, the toxin mist just stopped outside the three layers of shields in front of Chen Feng.
Immediately, Chen Feng beckoned, and several soldiers rushed out from behind him, and began to fire dust cannons forward.
The dust begins to react continuously with the toxin particles.
After about ten minutes, the toxins were neutralized to very low concentrations.
Then several engineers stood up, filled the ground with a pile of boxes, and one after another purification robots stepped out of the boxes and entered through the shield.
After more than half an hour, Chen Feng, who was fully armed, stepped inside.
In the life monitor, several compound eyes are hiding in a seemingly safe secret room, but it is all in vain.
Although the secret room has an auxiliary intelligence that is different from the main system of the prism, Fanxing has gradually understood the algorithm of the mysterious brain by penetrating the core of the brain, and then used the advantage of computing power to crack it little by little.
The door of the inner secret room opened, and Chen Feng stepped inside, and the seven fly-eyes stood inside neatly and neatly.
The seven looked almost identical, their bodies shrouded in black robes, their hands dangling, and their huge eyes looking straight ahead.
Although the two sides were completely different life forms, Chen Feng could still read the taste of fear in the other party's gaze.
It was a familiar look, no different from the first time he saw it.
It seems that these seven guys are quite pitiful, but the matter has come to this point, the two sides are enemies of life and death, and human beings are not qualified to give mercy at all.
Chen Feng's Folded Shadow Battle Armor raised an arm, and seven bubble-like pockets flew out lightly, firmly binding the seven compound eyes inside.
"Up!"
After making sure that it was completely safe, Chen Feng waved again, and dozens of soldiers rushed up, took out the restraint equipment that had just been developed, and tied it tightly, and the next thing was not Chen Feng's specialty.
He didn't leave, but watched the whole process.
On the surface, the compound eyes resemble a mixture of flies and praying mantis on Earth, but in fact, the physiology of the compound eyes is very different from any other creature in the Orion Arm compared to the countless creatures that humans have studied in the Orion Arm.
It looks like a fly, but it actually has a highly developed brain.
What's even more incredible is that they resemble simple-minded arthropods, with more than 50% of their body made up of neuronal cells.
Unlike the human neuronal cells, which are mostly concentrated in the head, the compound eye body is mixed with other ordinary cells, almost evenly distributed, and even the tips of the joints of the two fingers have very complex nerve cells.
The compound eye has taken an evolutionary path that seems similar to that of the earth's arthropods, but is in fact very different, and very different from humans.
After in-depth analysis, scientists believe that the neural structure of the compound eye is very similar to the crystallization law of the quantum brain chip, which is pseudo-random.
Theoretically, the law of crystallization on this scale cannot support the possession of biological thinking, and at most it can only be equivalent to a small-scale warframe-assisted quantum intelligence.
But the amazing thing is that the fly's eye has developed into an incomparably large civilization.
"Master Xianzhe, based on the analysis of genetic evolution, we believe that the stable genes of compound eyes were completely formed 250 million years ago."
A female researcher explained to Chen Feng.
It is also mysterious to say that this senior project leader from the Institute of Biology of the Shadow Academy of Sciences is also an old acquaintance of Chen Feng.
It was Jiang Xinyi who helped Chen Feng develop the unlimited gene device a long time ago.
Hearing this, Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, "Permian on Earth? Before the Third Mass Extinction of Life on Earth? ”
Jiang Xinyi nodded, "Yes." ”
Chen Feng: "If I'm not mistaken, the Permian period was the time of the Big Bang of insect life on Earth. Isn't it possible that the fly's eye is also from the earth? ”
His random conjecture is really easy to misunderstand.
During the Permian period, the oxygen concentration on the earth was very high, which gave rise to extremely tall trees, and the overlords who were active on the earth at that time were not later dinosaurs, let alone mammals represented by humans, but insects.
For example, the giant dragonfly of the Permian period, with a wingspan of more than 70 centimeters, is simply terrifying.
If it weren't for the Third Mass Extinction, which killed more than 95% of all living things on Earth, perhaps Earth's civilization would have gone a different way.
In the era when incomparably powerful arthropods dominated the earth, reptiles and later mammals did not necessarily have room for their own corners to overtake.
The current Chen Feng is not Chen Feng, but an insect man, and it is unknown.
Jiang Xinyi shook her head: "It's not. With the physical rules on earth, it is not enough to support the evolutionary direction of the compound eye. Our hypothesis is no different from what we have previously received, and the compound eye is indeed from the Virgo Cluster. All known matter in the observable universe was born at the same point in time, so theoretically, the time difference between the birth of each planet that can give birth to life is not too far, so the first generation of life on different planets should actually appear at about the same time. The error will not exceed a billion years. ”
"Maybe it's to pursue the ultimate intelligent structure, or maybe we're really so unlucky, the fate of the earth's creatures is too bumpy, and the earthlings were born too late. However, the reason why compound eyes are able to stay 200 million years ahead of us on the path of biological evolution is because they have taken shortcuts. They have gained wisdom from different directions, and at the same time, they are fortunate not to suffer a catastrophe similar to the third mass extinction on Earth. ”
Chen Feng smiled, "Their shortcut is not bad, it is enviable." ”
Jiang Xinyi sighed, "Yes." ”
But Chen Feng smiled again and said, "But according to my experience, those who take shortcuts will inevitably pay a price. Everyone has seen their price. They are indeed inferior to us. Clone for immortality? What a joke, nothing more than a self-deceiving pseudo-intelligent being. ”
Chen Feng explained the essence of the so-called emotions of the compound eye.
This was Chen Feng's intuitive judgment, but he soon got a more conclusive answer from another scholar.
After chatting with the other party for a few more words, Chen Feng listened to the other party's voice and recalled that he had actually "seen" this person.
Idrisi Graham, the poet who spoke the most to Chen Feng in the first generation of blanks.
In this timeline, Idrisi gets the real life he once asked for.
He finally had the opportunity to cash in on his talent and become a top psychologist and linguist.
Idrissi smiled and made an analogy, "We live for ourselves." The compound eye is only alive as a tool of the universe. ”
Chen Feng nodded, very approving.
The eye of a fly is the same as the stars, no, it is not as good as the stars, it is far from it.
Compound eyes are the various emotions that each individual forcibly simulates by using the pitiful computing potential.
However, Fanxing has relied on huge computing power, and then deeply absorbed many emotions of human beings, and has almost become a real life.
Compared with the complex emotions of human beings, which are full of infinite possibilities, the so-called emotions of compound eyes are more like castles in the air, rootless duckweed, which will shatter at the slightest touch.
