Episode 4 Breath Chapter 76: The Tower of Babel (I)
A person's emotional thinking is colorful.
Normally, people would only see this sentence as a description. But at this time, Jack really put this into practice.
In the thin line structure of the movement, the energy drives the flow of information signals, and through this special structure, it is constantly combined and intersected, colliding and changing, and its final product is thoughts, emotions, and thinking.
In this process, the energy works and emits a five-colored brilliance, which contains a certain unique law and rhythm, which flickers brightly and disappears.
The law is consistent, but the rhythm is random, and the combination of the two core elements, one static and one moving, constitutes the rhythm of life that people must face squarely. It is no longer a rigid template, but an unmistakable pulse of the soul.
Perhaps, as Jack said, his life has entered a new form because of the existence of this structure.
Ronan felt that he was watching an educational film about the nature of the soul.
From a materialist point of view, people's consciousness and emotions can be simply understood as the combined effect of a series of neurotransmitters, the conduction of electrical signals, and the motivation and avoidance mechanisms formed by human beings in the long-term survival and evolution.
However, many cutting-edge researchers have always believed that there should be a more essential model for the wonderful consciousness activities of human beings, as well as its deeper causes, and that these signals and mechanisms should be integrated with a special structure—an efficient system that is greater than the sum of its parts.
This is where the soul comes from.
As a possessor of "supernatural power" and a believer in "format theory", Ronan agrees with this view. Frankly speaking, the "soul configuration" that I heard from Jack's mouth is really a wonderful word, and it is implicitly connected with the meaning of "format", three-dimensional and vivid.
But in reality, how easy is it to find such an information integration system and present it with intuitive and exquisite geometric structures? To a large extent, it can only be a fantasy in a reasonable sense.
But at this moment, Ronan found something similar.
That's right, it's the filament structure of the movement centered on Jack's "Demon Eye" and supported by the energy of two exoskeleton armors.
Although rough and only a fragment, when Ronan looks at it from his unique perspective, what he sees is a great building that is breathtaking.
The tangible and measurable energy and information on the material level travel between the buildings, from low to high, constantly intersecting and colliding, climbing step by step, from simple thoughts and basic emotions to higher thinking and emotions, and then all the way into the palace of pure spirit.
Yes, it is a Tower of Babel built from the actual physical plane, leading to the spiritual plane of nothingness.
Although it is owned by Jack, it does not prevent Ronan from appreciating its mystery and appreciating it.
It is precisely because of his comprehension and appreciation of this mystery that he has touched the essential level. In a practical sense, all of Jack's activities in this "Tower of Babel", including thoughts, emotions, and thinking, are under Ronan's observation, and there are almost no secrets to speak of.
Therefore, Jack's temptation and threat just now is, in Ronan's opinion, very ridiculous. If Jack had found him, Ronan would have found out even earlier than Jack.
Ronan is amused and wary at the same time: "Energy and information can be received on both the spiritual and material levels, perhaps more efficiently. But if it is too pure, if it is separated from the carrier of neurotransmitters and other chemicals, it is equivalent to losing the inherent combination lock of the human body, and everything will be completely exposed to a higher level of observation, just like a bonfire in the night, which can dispel the darkness, but it can also attract unknown dangers......"
At this time, Jack didn't know that there was a person who penetrated all his thoughts and actions from a god-like perspective.
Although his emotions were not too adaptable and appeared too strong because of the rapid transformation of life forms, his logic was not affected.
He knew that in this city, there were already enemies on all sides. After breaking through the first obstacle, he first planned the route and let the transporter go all the way down, ready to return to the "recovery layer" he was most familiar with.
Then, start preparing for the next fierce battle breakthrough. He quickly "disassembled" another piece of exoskeleton armor, and, again, his own corpse.
Jack's thinking is very clear, as a transformer, he has installed a lot of very effective precision instruments on his previous body, some of which he has never even had on the dark blue platform. He needed to integrate these instruments as much as possible to make them more useful.
For him, this is very easy, he only needs to divide the movement into a filament, and the corresponding instruments and parts are like having life, closely linked to each other's information, and all he has to do is a little structural design work.
Looking at the progress of Jack's work, Ronan shook his head in his heart.
In his opinion, Jack's direction was completely wrong.
The real function of the "Tower of Babel" is to build a bridge from the material to the spiritual, breaking down the barriers between the form and the spirit.
But Jack's splicing transformation, even if it greatly improves the combat effectiveness, is at most equivalent to rebuilding a military fortress at the bottom of this great building.
Compared with the main body of the "Tower of Babel", even if the low fortress is built stronger, what is the use?
Jack's entire emotional thought process, still exposed in broad daylight; His soul, which had been reborn, had not yet been able to fully calm down, and was still affected by strong mood swings.
None of the truly fatal problems Jack has solved.
It seems that Jack once told Yan Yongbo that the "movement technology" is incomplete, which is indeed a very honest performance.
Thinking of this, Ronan's heart moved slightly, and his soul body slowly descended from a position far away from the material plane, and reached out to Jack.
Perhaps, all it takes is a gentle squeeze......
The fingertips of the soul body touched the "film" of the material plane, as if they were lightly tapping on the calm water of the deep pool, causing almost imperceptible fine waves.
Jack's "demon eyes" suddenly shone brightly, and his body bounced up, with some tattered parts that had not yet been spliced together, and there was a jingle of chaos.
When the noise passed, the carriage was covered with an almost frozen silence.
Jack's posture remained for a full minute, but at this time, Ronan had returned to the deepest part of the spiritual level that could reach, and did not give Jack any chance to discover it.
Confirming that it was no longer possible to lock on to the suspicious signal, Jack sat down again and muttered for a moment, but instead picked up the multi-edged helmet in the carriage that he had been ignoring all along, and at the same time the movement split a thin line and pulled the idle electronic eye system around.
After about two minutes, the modified helmet was reattached to the armored torso, and behind the original diamond-shaped reinforced panel, the dark red glow of the electronic eye lit up.
Ronan laughed when he saw this.
