Chapter 791: Goodbye, Lynior
"Inciting a bug tide?"
Zhang Yuan saw a video of these big bees inciting their wings to drive out swarms of insects from the forest, allowing these insect tides to attack the Lenino instead. But they themselves don't fight, because no matter how powerful the bugs are, they can't beat the guns, and at most they cause a little damage to the Leninos.
"The Lenino civilization is already aware of the existence of this suspected intelligent species, so they define them as a dangerous species. However, because of the production of shellac, they are not completely removed. ”
"It's interesting, if you can't beat it yourself, you will actually use the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf?"
An expert in the surrounding area said with interest, "It's just a pity that without any technology, it is impossible to beat steel with physical strength alone." ”
Lao Yang continued: "This kind of intelligence is manifested in all aspects of life, the survival competition on this planet is fierce, many insects have a lifespan of only a few days, and there are very many powerful predators, the kind of large beetles of several hundred kilograms, like a small tank, can easily defeat the tigers and lions on our planet......"
"But some individuals of this alien bee have a very long lifespan, ten or even twenty years! It is because they live long enough to accumulate social experience that they can survive on this planet and defeat species that are stronger than themselves. ”
Zhang Yuan looked at the detailed information of this species, if it is said that there is wisdom, it must be a little, but it is only at the level of monkeys on the earth, or a little higher, it is not a very intelligent species......
"Species B, the alien ant, which is this group of ant-like insects in the soil, is even smarter! In this insect world, it is very rare that they can hide in the soil and live in a good way......"
"The division of labor of these ants is more clear, there are more than a hundred different classifications, some are responsible for making food, some are responsible for fighting, and some are responsible for management, and we have also found pheromone languages belonging to these insects...... Oh, and there's a simple language that relies on the vibration of its wings to convey information. ”
"What's even more strange is that this species shows a great deal of curiosity, and they have captured some of our probes and are studying them every day."
As can be seen in the video, the ants spotted the detector disguised as a stone, noticed something unusual, and brought it back to their nest. So, every day, a few big white and chubby bugs come to figure out what this thing is, and even play with this thing that glows from time to time.
They quickly got the hang of it, pressing a button and the detector's light would turn on, and it would take a few more hours to press the light again, and it would be a lot of fun.
These large white bugs don't seem to have any combat power and are not very athletic, so they are supposed to be mainly responsible for nest management.
That is, they possess intelligence, even more so than the bee population.
"Scientists generally believe that the species may have evolved intelligence similar to that of ancient hominids, who communicated through pheromones. If we model pheromones, we will have the possibility of communication. They also have the mathematical concept of placing 178 eggs in each nest, no more and no less, which allows the maximum use of the area without being crowded. ”
"Equivalent, what the specific potential is, is still being evaluated......"
Li Zhendong suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly thought: "Looking at it this way, we can catch some native insects and study them?" Anyway, the Kyushu is still very empty, and it is not bad to dig a basement to raise some intelligent insects. Don't we have a group of specialists who specialize in insects and are there complaining about idleness? ”
"This ...... It seems that there is a real possibility. ”
Now the Lenino people are reluctant to join the Alliance, and instead two more primitive insect species have popped up, and both are beehive mindsets...... If these insects really have enough potential, and can communicate normally, and are willing to be positive, it is not impossible to let them join the alliance, and it is easier to educate the primitive species.
Zhang Yuan was stunned, quite a wonderful illusion of missing the mulberry elm in the east.
Human beings do not know much about the hive thinking model, and can only think of it as a kind of collective intelligence for the time being, and people are still in a state of ignorance about how to educate it.
The so-called "collective intelligence" cannot distribute wisdom equally among each individual, and there will always be some special individuals who are responsible for group thinking. If you use a professional term, you can call it a "king worm", that is, a king worm type civilization.
This type of civilization is based on the king worm, only the king worm is self-conscious, and other individuals have low or no intelligence, and the king worm can dominate the fate of most individuals in the group.
This kind of civilization has a clear division of labor, a unified purpose, and extremely high efficiency. The disadvantage is that self-transformation is more difficult, most individuals are only executors, do not have too high thinking ability, and may also have the problem of resource consumption.
The well-known amoeba faction seems to use this model.
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "If there are scientists who are willing to study, then catch some bugs...... We in Unreal Lab really don't have the energy to do this anyway. Helping hemispheres clone their ancestors and speeding up their thinking is already a heavy task. ”
Perhaps, if you encounter a ship from the amoeba faction, you can also sell bugs to them. Well, I don't know if they lack people. ”
In this way, after this party, Zhang Yuan threw himself into a nervous state of work again.
……
Two years have passed in a hurry, and the maintenance and reorganization of the fleet is coming to an end. The trade between humans and the Lynino is also coming to an end, and the number of indigenous people purchased is enough for scientific research.
On this day, both sides said goodbye very kindly.
"Dear Lenino civilization, it is my honor to inform you that our fleet has completed maintenance and is about to depart. Thank you for this period of time, your civilized and meticulous care. ”
For the upper echelons of the Lynino civilization, their mentality is both contradiction and joy.
After all, no one wants a civilization that is much stronger than themselves to stay nearby all the time. As long as this alliance stays here, their psychological pressure is extremely high.
Now this new human civilization is finally leaving...... The big stone in my heart was put down at once.
"May your civilization always progress!" The human said.
"May your civilization always progress."
This is also the standard interstellar etiquette that the Lynino people have just learned. It's easy to say this, but they don't feel it deeply, and what they know is only superficial.
If you have not witnessed the true face of the galaxy, nor have you had enough experience to go through various civilizations, it is naturally difficult to know the profound connotation expressed by the Gaia civilization when it first formulated this set of rituals.
All the human diplomats nodded, didn't say anything more, and returned to their ships.
This Titan-class ship is filled with all kinds of insects, as well as two induced intelligent species, plus the hibernation of the indigenous population, these harvests are enough for everyone to keep busy for a while.
This time, the investigation of indigenous civilization has officially come to an end.
