Volume 2 The Beginning of the Power Chapter 179 Monster Paradise
Shang Shiyin returned three days later.
Tony was going to come back two days earlier than Shang Shiyin, and Tony only said that he had gone back once, but he didn't say anything.
Only since his last return, Tony seems to be a different person, only concerned about the affairs of the druid witches, and rarely asks about other things. Recently, he has become more and more silent, and he is like two people who used to speak.
"Brother Tony, do you have something on your mind?" Luo Youcheng asked.
"Nope." Tony's answer was succinct, and after a pause, he added, "Guangxu has to delay some time." ”
Luo Youcheng vaguely felt that Tony's change and this sudden departure were related to sealing the memories of the druid witch. But Tony's inquiry went unanswered, and for the next few days, Tony didn't say a word.
Unlike Tony's uneventful return, the news that Shang Shiyin brought back was shocking.
He recorded 2 exabytes of images (2.147 billion gigabytes in what we know as a data storage unit), which takes up almost all of the monocle's storage space. He had to submit the image data to Zhinao, which completed the editing and sorting work.
"Wu Dayu, you're fat." Shang Shiyin reached out and pinched the witch's face.
The witch didn't dodge, but looked very happy, "The medicine in the Hidden Flower Hall is really useful, I have lost a little bit of food now, but I have gained three catties." ”
"Then insist, fat people are beautiful."
"Dead eunuch, thank you." The witch's face flushed slightly, "Tell me what you've seen in the past few days?" ”
"When the brain is finished, you can watch it yourself. I haven't slept much these days, so I'll catch up on it. ”
"Go, do you want me to accompany you?"
"Get out."
The witch laughed and walked towards the levitation ladder that led to the outside.
After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room and watched the video. Brain compresses 150 hours of video editing into three hours. The image once again refreshed Luo Youcheng's perception of the charm.
The merchant went to hide in the city of Dian.
The city of Dian has long been turned into an empty city, and the huge city is empty. However, in the western mountains near the Yunnan Sea, there are a large number of cattle and sheep, and it has become a large pasture.
It's a pasture, but it's not people who graze herd, but people who graze herd. Different from the blind man that Luo Youcheng saw in Guicheng, although there is no difference in appearance, they are all Zhang Claw human bodies, but they have a pair of round eyes, judging from the rotation of the eyes, this pair of eyes is by no means an ornament. The syllables they utter are far more complex than those of your city, and they are also able to give commands to the AI to manage and restrain the herd. Intellectually, it is far from being comparable to the spirit of your city.
Seeing this, Luo Youcheng unconsciously classified this kind of genetic monster into the ranks of the intelligent race.
"How many generations is this?" Luo Youcheng asked.
"They don't seem to be mentioned by generations, but are graded according to intelligence, no intelligence, low intelligence, medium intelligence, and high intelligence, a total of four levels. The herdsmen belong to the low-intelligence monsters, and the war monsters in your city are all unintelligent monsters. ”
Shang Shiyin's answer made Luo Youcheng understand how superficial his understanding of the charm was. The person who was lucky enough not to become a charm gave him information was not accurate, and perhaps he didn't know much about the charm. Luo Youcheng guessed that not only the ghost, but perhaps the spirit was not as simple as it seemed. Those sprawling in the mountains and rivers may be just experimental subjects used to provide data.
He refocused his attention on the image.
The camera leads to the entrance to a sprawling underground base, where tentacle monsters come and go. Above the entrance, there are eight eye-catching big characters: Dian Hai Underground Lake Park.
It was once the largest underground inland lake park in Asia. At the beginning of the 23rd century, at the beginning of the Pastoral Era, nearly half of the bottom of the Dian Sea was replaced with viewing glass. The lakebottom landscape was designed by Claudia Young, the most outstanding landscape architect of the time, and featured some of the world's most beautiful landscaping aquatic plants and landscaping stones. The most exotic aquatic animals are stocked. One can look up at the bottom of the lake in the viewing passage or in the viewing room. Nearly 1,000 underwater intelligences clean the glass every moment to prevent sediment from settling and ensure the best viewing effect.
There are countless amusement facilities such as the underwater Ferris wheel, maglev underwater sightseeing car, extreme surf tube, and sea cave adventure built at the bottom of the lake, and the limelight far exceeds that of Disney. In the old era, it was a must-do for tourists to visit Diancheng. Holidays are even more crowded. There are only a few rooms with a view, which need to be booked at least half a year in advance.
What used to be an underwater carnival for humans is now a monster paradise.
In the reception hall, viewing corridor, and trail, there are hurried "wrists" everywhere. They don't look up, the glass above them is already covered with mud and sand, like a thick cloud of lead.
The sprites seem to have only one job – to collect food. There are many types of food, meat, fish, fruits, leaves, tubers, all on their recipes. Luo Youcheng used to think that they only ate people.
The food is always sent to the storeroom, and there are some people who will pick up food from the storeroom and send it to the restaurant, but there is never a fish that sends the newly collected food directly to the restaurant. They always follow the established rules.
In charge of the storeroom is a nine-legged fish, which is responsible for inspecting the quality of food. The Spirits then hand over the food to the Intelligence, who is responsible for weighing, sorting and storing it. The nine-legged squire sometimes speaks a lot to the intelligence, and its strange pronunciation is so similar to that of the dragon that no one can understand, but the intelligence can communicate smoothly with it. I don't know if this is artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence, or Meigong intelligence. According to the grading method mentioned by Shang Shiyin, this nine-legged fish is at least a Zhongzhi fish.
Food-gathering creatures are much more silent, expressionless, rarely converse with their own kind, and usually touch each other's wrists and feet as they stagger. Only when the nine-legged demon asks in a voice will the low-intelligence demon say something.
Luo's behavior reminded Luo Youcheng of a social form in the animal kingdom - the ant society, this monster base presents a high degree of collective consistency. Unlike ant society, where individual ants do not have autonomous consciousness, the individual ant seems to have autonomous consciousness, but its individual consciousness is unconditionally subordinate to the collective consciousness.
The herds feed in batches. The Brain tagged and tracked the three-headed fish, and found that every three trips of food they delivered, they would enter the restaurant to eat, and the food they ingested was about one-fiftieth of their body weight.
It is intelligence that is responsible for distributing food, and the food is not processed and cooked, it is all raw food. Intelligence will assign the corresponding weight of raw meat, vegetables and fruits to the fish according to its weight, and put them into a large tray.
Meal time is also the time that can best reflect the consciousness of the individual, through the comparison of the ten days of images, found that they will always find a relatively fixed companion to eat together, in addition to touching the wrist and feet, clicking, sometimes also in a more complex language communication. Sometimes the two heads will look at each other silently, and the brain says that they are communicating with ultrasound, which seems to be a silent way of communication in the eyes of humans, but in fact, the ghosts are having a private conversation with each other.
No matter how pleasantly he communicates with his companions, he will finish his meal in the fifth minute, leaving a lump of secretions or excrement in the tray and getting up to leave. Without exception.
After leaving the restaurant, the monster will once again enter the collective consciousness and enter the working mode of the machine.
In a viewing room, Luo Youcheng saw the first charm in the monster base. He rubbed his eyes, making sure that Mei was using the Brain model, and although it was only a slight modification to the existing model, it was enough to surprise him.
For a long time, he had treated the Charm as a beast, and now he had to revise his opinion and admit that the Charm belonged to the intelligent race. The charm is transformed from the human body, and it is not surprising that it has wisdom. Luo Youcheng felt that quantifiers such as "head" or "only" and pronouns such as "they" and "they" were no longer suitable for Mei.
On the light screen of Mei, the square text is also displayed, but it is by no means Chinese characters.
"What kind of writing did she use?" Luo Youcheng asked Zhi Brain.
"The long-lost ancient Western Xia script." Brain was quick to give the answer.
"Do you speak Tangut too?"
Brain responded: "Their pronunciation doesn't match any of the languages in the phonetic library. The result of the analysis is that this language was created for the special vocal organs of the ghost, and the probability of correctness is 95%. ”
"Can you translate their language?"
Zhi Nao responded: "No, there is a lack of sufficient language samples, but it is possible to translate the Tangut script on the light screen into Chinese characters." ”
Luo Youcheng summoned Tony, the master of language, but Tony did not respond.
When all the words on the light screen are translated into Chinese characters, the experience of watching the movie is much better.
After Mei finished modeling, she quickly printed out a one-piece women's dress and let out a "HingHing" laugh, with a special voice that made her voice very charming.
Luo Youcheng and the witch couldn't help but shudder. Luo Youcheng even moved out of the "view idea" that he hadn't used for a long time. Only a "heavenly cripple" like Shang Shiyin can remain unmoved.
Mei took off her clothes and prepared to try on new clothes. The air sac on this charm has shrunk to a point, if the charm that Luo Youcheng killed in Guicheng pulled out the fire cup all over his body, then this charm is covered with navel eyes all over his body, there is no beauty at all, and the charm brought by the sound has disappeared without a trace. None of the three of them had a phobia of intensity, but when they saw this body, they still had goosebumps.
Fortunately, it didn't last long for the charm to quickly put on a one-piece suit and immediately turned back into a beautiful and bewitching woman. Put on your clothes and seduce your soul, and take off your clothes and be frightened. Really...... Not cute!
"Doesn't Mei need to work?" Luo Youcheng asked Shang Shiyin.
"They work in two shifts, and this charm happens to be off work. Charm and Charm are different, Charm can sleep endlessly, but Charm needs sleep and rest. ”
"It's almost like a human." Luo Youcheng said, and then his finger tapped on the side of his cheek again, "I almost forgot that they were originally transformed by people." ”
Shang Shiyin said: "There is still a difference between people and people. As far as I can see, they don't have any other leisure activities other than dressing up, and it seems that dressing up is only to enhance the instinct of seduction. ”
Sure enough, after changing her clothes, Mei sat on the bed in a motionless daze.
"What do they do?"
Shang Shiyin replied: "Surveillance video, report to Zhi Brain's abnormal behavior, wait for Zhi Brain's order, and use ultrasound to issue orders to Brain." ”
"In this way, Mei's IQ is not a concern." Luo Youcheng pinched his chin with his thumb and forefinger in contemplation, "If we compare this monster base to an ant nest, and the ghost and the charm are worker ants with different division of labor, then the brain is the queen ant." ”
Shang Shiyin opened his mouth for a moment, closed it again, lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, before he said:
"Yes and no. Sir, just look down. ”
Note: Mei is hermaphroditic because there is no neutral third-person pronoun, and since then "she" has been used as the pronoun of Mei.
