Zhang Yingying felt that she had missed too much in philosophy or theology classes, or in the previous teaching stage when Ronan worked so hard before?

Suppressing the skeptical psychology of her own IQ, she tried to combine Ronan's explanation, and once again, seriously, and carefully observe the single and infinite mode of "Sand Demon 33".

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when her eyes focused on the pile of sand that had been dehydrated and almost couldn't be seen clearly, the sand layer on the top, which still had the outline of "Sand Demon No. 33", seemed to move.

Like a camouflage cloth that trembles and shifts in the direction of the sea breeze, at least three times slower than its normal state, but with a subtle sense of rhythm.

Ronan nodded and commented, "The way to move the energy-saving mode, it looks like it knows exactly where it is." ”

"You mean it's smart?"

"All I can say is that it's sensitive." Ronan motioned for Zhang Yingying's camera to follow, giving a close-up view of the area where "Sand Demon 33" had stayed before, "Look here, these sand grains on the surface are actually blessed...... But now their basic configuration has collapsed, and they are 'dead'. ”

Zhang Yingying moved her footsteps, followed behind the side of "Sand Demon No. 33", and turned on the camera, and at the same time hated to put her eyes together, but she really couldn't tell the difference between these fine white sand grains.

"The 'death' of these grains of sand is not meaningless. Through 'death', they transmit a certain message to their surviving 'companions......"

What？

Zhang Yingying's eyes widened innocently, and she even lost the courage to ask further.

Forget it, what did you Professor Luo say?

Fortunately, at this time, Ronan began to condense the water vapor and express his expression in a configured way.

So I'm ...... There is even more reason not to understand!

Well, in fact, Zhang Yingying understands a little.

Ronan is to the effect that the individuals in the sand grain accumulation of "Sand Demon 33", and its community, are trying to survive in a state of "low energy supply".

Because they are born from the energy configuration, the first choice to maintain survival in the state of "low energy supply" is to reduce the consumption of ontological energy, to subtract themselves, to get rid of the unnecessary consumption structure, and to find a balance in the double red line of "survival" and "saving".

In other words, they're stabbing themselves.

After a few cuts, the savings that can still maintain the basic structural functionality are kept, and the rest are naturally finished.

The thousands of individuals of "Sand Demon No. 33" were eliminated internally in such a simple and tragic way; Not to mention the eliminated, the successful ones also need to quickly transmit the successful experience to the entire community through an efficient mechanism.

"It's so complicated, it's equivalent to a configuration designer...... You also say they don't have brains! ”

"You were the first to question them."

Ronan raised it lightly, and changed the topic instantly, "But I still have to say that this has nothing to do with the brain, it's just a superposition of induction, well, at most, the efficiency of sensing." And these are not learned in a short period of time after coming out of the pit...... I've already talked about this. ”

"Why!" Zhang Yingying instinctively questioned.

"I really did. It's just that Sand Demon 33 itself, when it was not formed in the sand pit, more than a dozen aggregates in its internal competition stage went through at least 40 to 50 rounds of similar screening, and all those that could not keep up with the sensing efficiency were all eliminated.

"In fact, this mechanism of action, after Sand Demon 20, has been embedded in the basic configuration, which can be regarded as artificial selective inheritance, and the rest is just constantly strengthened...... Well, the relevant configuration records are still floating over there. ”

Ronan stretched out his hand and pointed to an area behind the bunker, where the series of graphics was about to pile up into a large maze, and just a glance at it made Zhang Yingying dizzy.

Zhang Yingying was a little stupid, and turned the camera for the first time to face the global audience:

"Is that really the case?"

(￢?￢) ?

Knowing that Zhang Yingying can't see it, there are really not a few people around the world who nod their heads.

Zhang Yingying finally received some feedback from the circle of friends, but it was all extremely negative things such as "stupid crying" and "shame to the world", and even Ya's "three years of stupidity in pregnancy"......

"Ahh......h You've done a lot of work to nurture them. ”

Ronan squinted and smiled: "Plant good causes, get good results." ”

"Come on, the gods are already chattering, and then put on the posture of a god stick, are you going to open a mountain and establish a religion?"

Zhang Yingying's mentality was about to collapse, and she was not ready to get to the bottom of it, she just had an open word: "You just make it clear, what is Silly Sha going to do next!" ”

"Stupid sand?"

"Uh-huh, my son stupid sand." Zhang Yingying simply broke the jar and broke it, and replied confidently, "I want to raise it, of course I have to give it a name, it's quite vivid, right?" ”

"I think so, you ......"

"Getting to the point."

Ronan crossed his waist, and his head was in two positions, and he felt that it was not the place, and in the end, he could only smile helplessly: "Okay, I guess, 'Sand Demon No. 33', cough, stupid sand's correct behavior changes direction, it should know that simply seeking volume is meaningless for it, and it needs to chase more practical things......"

Zhang Yingying raised her eyebrows and reconfirmed the conclusion that had been reached earlier: "Energy? ”

"It's energy."

The Sand Demon is currently ...... Well, the behavioral goals of Stupid Sand, as well as the corresponding changes in the sensor configuration, have been very clear, and Ronan added a few simple strokes to the "board book", and then explained:

"You're the only energy provider at the moment, and most of the time it's relatively stable, which can be counted as a quantitative; But it is becoming more and more complex in the mode of action of sensors, which obviously requires more intake, which creates an energy gap, which also forms a desire-oriented ......"

"To whom? I? ”

"In a sense, you, or your energy supply, are already part of the stupid sand system, and it is the part with the least efficiency in sensing and mutating, and according to its behavior pattern, it will not waste its efforts on this."

Zhang Yingying's camera continued to track the trajectory of Stupid Sha, and guessed: "That's you...... Uh, bypassed? ”

The stupid sand, which has almost been spread into a thin layer in the shot, seems to be swirling in a strong sea breeze, and it circles around Ronan's heels without any contact.

"Well, maybe I'm scared, after all, I've always been a strong intervening force."

"You add drama to it! Inner play! Zhang Yingying immediately caught Ronan's words, and gave him back in his way.

Ronan is well-founded: "Fear is a very basic response, and it is possible to develop a similar avoidance mechanism after both the desire and the experience side have taken shape."

"Especially now, the internal mechanism of stupid sand is already very complex. What we can interpret is only a part of the clear context, and more is hidden in chaos.

"Maybe it's just a momentary aura, and it is not known that a relatively stable structural carrier can be found, and it will be stored for a long time...... This requires a more detailed revert shard at the end. ”

Zhang Yingying's eyebrows raised: "Cut? You're going to cut it off when you go back? ”

"Well, here's a follow-up study."

"It's so stupid, you still have to cut it!"

…… What about logic?

"Don't think about it, I said this is my son, I'm going to raise it!" Zhang Yingying's statement was categorical and there was no room for negotiation.

Ronan stammered.

At the very moment of this small dispute, the stupid sand, who was extremely low-level, could not understand the arguments concerning it or the life and death of "them" above his head, and only slowly moved forward according to the established pattern of behavior, in a state of "energy saving", and even with the thrust of the sea breeze.

"Where the hell is it going?" In the videoconference, Herman suddenly asks the question, "It's not just now, it tried to go to the sea, got hurt, and then turned back...... If Ronan's words are true, in what way, or in what way, does it want to obtain energy? ”

Asking such a question proves that Herman listens carefully and has his own thoughts.

However, not everyone is interested in this kind of technical issue involving supernatural power, and many more are concerned with the more direct issue of return on investment. At that moment, a certain representative came over with anger:

"Come on, Mr. Herman, are we meeting today to make people laugh at our ignorance in the field of scientific research?"

"Well, even though I'm a researcher, I don't mean to laugh at me."

The bald Jeff was frank and fearless in the argument, ignoring the strange looks cast by all parties and moving on to the next round.

After only half a second, the deep and serious video conference scene suddenly changed, with the sea breeze and beach, mist and thin waves, like a classical oil painting, projecting the infinite close to the real light and shadow pattern in front of everyone's eyes.

And soon, the participants found that everything in front of them was moving delicately according to their natural rhythm, not to mention that there were still twenty or thirty familiar faces on the beach, standing or walking, showing a familiar scene.

Herman forgot to quarrel with people for the time being, and was a little surprised: "Virtual reality at Zeolite Beach? The materials needed for this kind of reality, Zhang Yingying's shot, I'm afraid it can't support it. ”

That's right, all the participants entered the virtual reality created by the live broadcast screen, as if they had traveled thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers to Zeolite Beach, which has become the focus area.

They themselves are transformed into formless spirits and infiltrate into them. Except for the inability to get too close and touch directly, everything feels real.

"Of course, the materials for one camera are not enough, but the 'experimental equipment' that Ronan needs has passed more than once, and even the people on the periphery are all idle and panicked. Also, now over Zeolite Beach, the drones have been piled up, thanks to the Blood Flame Order, they didn't shoot them down directly, but a mid-air crash could happen at any time. ”

The bald Jeff showed far more than 100 times the ability to control the field than his "predecessor", and with the same technical commentary service, he was able to play unusual tricks.

He created this virtual reality environment not only to enhance the perception of the participants...... Why do you have to go one level further!

In the next second, a logo halo similar to an AR effect fell on the "Sand Demon 33", which seemed to be wrapped in the sea breeze.

Oh, now it's called "Stupid Sand".

At the same time, there is also a dotted line, extending forward from the halo of the logo, spanning a distance of about ten meters, reaching a "former key area" that is almost forgotten.

"I can answer your question now, Mr. Herman, the monster's goal is there, an area that has spiraled out of control for us."
