Chapter 826: Metallic Life

When everyone saw the image reflected in the mirror as a shimmering metal ball, they naturally thought of robots. Could it be that this remnant is a robot controlled by a star soul?

Xiao Sa asked, "What are your conclusions?" ”

Zhiyangyang replied, "The planet shown in the memory image just now should be a planet full of robots. It can be inferred from this that the other party can not only make robots, but also control the star soul, and the level of technology should not be much different from us. ”

Xu Yuxin said: "I agree with your conclusion that the other party's technological level is not much different from ours, but you have made a fundamental mistake. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The so-called robot shown in the image is not actually a robot."

"What is it if it's not a robot? Look at that metal ......" Zhi Yang Yang said this, suddenly paused, was in a daze for a few seconds, and exclaimed: "I understand, it's amazing, it's incredible!" ”

"Smack", Su Ya knocked his knuckles on the door of his head, "Please, do you know what to say directly?" Don't yell like a woman there! ”

"Good. I just suddenly realized that those so-called robots are not actually metal devices controlled by computers or star spirits, but natural metal life! ”

"Metal life? Are you saying that they have thoughts and feelings just like us humans, but they are nothing more than metal organisms? ”

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Yuxin nodded at Zhiyangyang, "I also think those are metal lifeforms. We should be tolerant of the existence of life, and not be naïve to think that all life forms in the galaxy universe are similar to our earth, or that only those that look similar to our life on earth are called life, and only those who are similar to our earth humans are worthy of being called intelligent life - this view may still be mainstream before the end of the world, but after so many incredible cataclysms and evolutions, whoever holds this position will inevitably seem narrow-minded, arrogant, paranoid and naïve. ”

Wen Ying said: "I admit that there must be many life forms in the galaxy universe that are very different from our earth humans, but the concept of metal life still makes me feel unbelievable. ”

"Life on our earth is basically based on carbon atoms, which can be called carbon-based life. Carbon atoms can form various molecules, which in turn form various organic components such as cells and hormones. Carbon-based life is made up of organic components, absorbing and utilizing energy and conducting information. ”

He paused, "If we put aside the limitations of the material components that make up life and examine it from the basic functional activities of life, the most basic characteristics of life are mainly as follows: 1. It is clearly different from the surrounding environment and has independence; 2. Have the ability to respond to environmental stimuli and have a certain adaptability; 3. Able to maintain existence and independence by relying on their own strength; 4. It can continue to live and reproduce itself and its race under certain conditions; 5. It has ......"

Su Ya interrupted Zhi Yangyang's tirade, "Some professors, we are not in your class now. You don't want to lecture. ”

Wen Ying said: "I would like to hear Professor Zhiyangyang's explanation. She turned to Zhiyang and said, "You mean that these metal beings also have the above characteristics or abilities?" How is this possible without the premise of the artificially designed Star Soul code drive? How do metals make up cells in their natural state? And how to achieve metabolism? Not to mention generating consciousness. Please ask the professor to give us some popular science. ”

"Anything is possible." Zhiyang Yang is very confident in his own judgment. As he explains, he uses an ability to demonstrate a 3D image, "Under certain environmental conditions, the metal melts into a liquid state. These are the seven metals collected from the debris of the explosion, which, in addition to the commonalities of iron, copper, and other metals familiar to earthlings, also have some personalities of their own, which allow them to undergo complex physicochemical reactions when they are mixed with each other, resulting in the following two interesting processes: first, the regular movement of metal atoms according to potential energy; Second, the electrical energy is stored after the energized state and discharged in a pulsed manner with the first process. ”

"If the atoms of a metal object can move regularly and store and discharge electricity like a battery, then it is already very similar to a carbon-based organism," Xu added. It's safe to say that high temperatures and electrical energy are key factors in the revitalization of these metals. And in many planetary environments, there is no shortage of heat and lightning. ”

Wen Ying interjected: "I'm still a little puzzled. She took out a gold bracelet and lit it up to everyone, then used her ability to discharge electricity into the bracelet and drive it to melt, causing the molecules to flow. The heat and electricity are there, but the bracelet hasn't turned into a metal life. ”

Zhiyang said: "There should be one more factor: the magnetic field. Metallic matter is known to sense magnetic fields and be magnetized – technically speaking, this means that memories can be stored and interacted with the environment. Theoretically, a sufficiently complex piece of metal could be affected by the planet's magnetic field to perform various life-like actions, such as attacking each other. ”

Su Ya asked, "Let's assume for a moment that what you call metal beings exist, so how do they give birth to children?" ”

"This ...... I still need more information to answer. ”

Xu Yuxin said: "Teacher Zhiyangyang's exposition is based on the absence of the star soul drive, if the star soul factor is taken into account, no matter how complex life activities can be realized. Whether the remnants we find are from native metal beings or SAIs implanted with star souls, we have a big question to face: what to do with them? ”

Xiao Sa said: "Normally, when I encounter the kind of problem that requires sacrificing a lot of brain cells to solve, I will directly report it to the Earth Headquarters and let He Annie worry about it, so as to consume her brain cells and make her become an old lady early." But now that we are blocked from communication by mysterious forces, we are left to make our own decisions. What do people say we should do? ”

Zhiyangyang sighed: "If the captain is here, it would be good, as long as you listen to his arrangement, you will be sure." ”

Xu Yuxin said: "If Teacher Lin is here, according to his way of thinking, he will definitely do his best to eliminate the misunderstanding between us and this alien civilization, so as to avoid the outbreak of the star war." ”

Xiao Sa clapped his hands fiercely, "That's it!" We will do everything possible to contact this alien civilization, give them a reasonable explanation, and apologize if necessary. ”

Su Ya said: "As soon as we met, we destroyed one of each other's space bases, I'm afraid the other party won't welcome us too much." Now, if you take the initiative to send it to the door, most of them will die and never return. ”

Xiao Sa said: "It's good to die for a lifetime, and there is no return, aren't we the best at doing this kind of thing?" Pass my orders and set off in the direction of the most dense metal information! ”

After Lin Zaishan returned to Xinghe Manor, he handed over his daughter Lin Xiao to Chen Xiu's care and entered the study by himself. On the surface, it looks like a study, but in fact it has been transformed into the most advanced astral soul laboratory for humans on Earth. He has built a very powerful simulation system, which can map and display the core circle of the solar system in the study, and remotely control the star soul code carriers arranged in various directions on the field, generate, transmit and arrange consciousness codes, so as to intervene and regulate the celestial bodies of the solar system, and weave a super code protection net.

This is the most important earth protection project that Lin Zaishan is secretly implementing. Because the protective net integrates the most advanced star soul coding technology, subspace technology and material configuration technology, it condenses the strongest wisdom and ability of his star soul coder, which cannot be easily broken by any opponent.

If this project is completed, foreign forces will have to pay a protracted time and extremely heavy price if they want to invade the earth, and the probability of survival of human beings on the earth will be greatly increased.

So far, this super-coded protective net, with the solar system as the core, encircling Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the asteroid belt, with a diameter of more than 5 astronomical units, has only completed about 8%.

At this rate, it will take at least four years or more to complete the preliminary construction. But it's very likely that the Pirates won't give the humans of Earth another 4 years. Judging from the encounter with the somersault cloud type III, the enemy is already speeding up the intensity and pace of infiltrating the earth, and an unprecedented and ancient interstellar war will suddenly descend in the near future.

Lin Zaishan pondered while adding the code of consciousness: "Am I going to continue to work hard like this?" There are too few people on Earth who have the ability to code for astral souls. Besides me, Xu Yuxin is the strongest, but she is now missing. Both Qiqi and Xiaoxiao have shown great potential, especially Xiaoxiao's talent is far above mine; But they are children after all, and their skills are not enough. Among the rest, Mei Yingxue has a very high mental ability, but she has an important position and needs basic training; Dr. Sam is intellectually superior, but unfortunately he has other priorities; The rest of the people almost can't meet the basic conditions of an intermediate Star Soul coder. ”

After years of vigorous promotion by the Earth Federation, the knowledge of star soul coding has become quite popular among the humans on Earth. In a sense, the Star Soul coder has become an open profession, just like a pre-apocalyptic programmer. However, as of now, very few can reach the intermediate level or above. The vast majority of learners stay at the beginner level and are not even getting started yet.

The biggest difference between the profession of Star Soul Coder and other professions is that the gap in coding ability is not simply a matter of quantity, but a world of difference. A high-level Star Soul coder can easily crush all the mid-level and low-level Star Soul coders, and no matter how many there are without the level as a guarantee, no matter how many they are, they will not be able to constitute an advantage.

Lin Zaishan sighed and calculated the overall situation of the Earth Human Star Soul Coders. "Up to now, there are already 1,300 entry-level, 60 beginner, and 13 intermediate-level Star Soul coders, not including me, Xu Yuxin, and the master I deliberately hidden. There are already a lot of people, but when it comes to strength, let alone me, even Xu Yuxin himself can wipe them all out. Judging from the accumulation of human beings on Earth, it is difficult to dig out more high-level Star Soul coders before Qiqi and Xiaoxiao grow up. How can we organize and use the power of these rookie coders? ”

Lin Zaishan stopped what he was doing and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Lin Xiao ran outside the study and shouted, "Dad, Mom asked you to go for a walk together." ”

Lin Zaishan had no intention of working at this time anyway, so he went out of the study and saw Ye Jingying, Lin Xiao's mother and daughter.

Walking with Mom and Dad is Xiaoxiao's favorite thing. She grabbed Ye Jingying with one hand and Lin Zaishan with the other, sang a little song, and walked towards the lawn in a bouncing manner.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you singing?" Ye Jingying asked.

"I learned the Concentric Spell from Uncle Billy. As far as I know, this is Dad's masterpiece. Isn't it Dad? ”

"Concentric Mantra?" Lin Zaishan is like an initiation, and inspiration comes in an instant. He suddenly hugged Ye Jingying's mother and daughter and kissed her.

"Hehe, some dads are having a good day today." Ye Jingying teased.

"It's not just happy, it's ecstasy." People laugh and laugh and follow the comments.
