Graphite and the Star Spirit are once again in the depths of the mines.

Even if graphite's current perception can penetrate these rock formations and see the conditions underground, he still doesn't know anything about those dense granular, lumpy, cemented, and clumpy things, and he can't clearly distinguish what is metal ore, what is soil, and what is rock, in other words, he is empty into Baoshan but does not know treasures.

"I'll have to find time to learn more about the metals...... Graphite thought to himself.

The big iron frame has been dissolved and absorbed by the star spirit, including the two rotten oil drums that don't have much material left, the star spirit has not let go, for it, it may be a rare snack.

Before instigating the Star Spirit to go prospecting, Graphite decided to talk to the Star Spirit......

Graphite Consciousness asked, "Star Spirit, can you disguise yourself as this rock in my hand?" ”

At this time, his right hand was holding a stone that he had just picked up from the ground, which was an unknown black purple ore.

Soon, Graphite received the consciousness feedback from the Star Spirit, and the Star Spirit directly wriggled on Graphite's left hand, quickly changing into an identical piece of black purple ore.

In this brief exchange, there is no mutual response in any language, that is, the heart is clear, and the thought is reached.

Graphite was already completely sure that his guess about the communication of consciousness was correct, which meant that he would have a smooth channel for communicating with the star spirit in the future, which made him a little excited, even a little excited, although he was still a little uncomfortable with this method.

But then again, this kind of communication is really efficient and fast, what is called "like an arm", this is it.

Also, he felt that his previous definition of the "disguise" of the Star Spirit was not precise enough, or that it would be more accurate to define it as "simulation", and he did not know how similar this simulation would be, so he decided to continue to practice this "simulation" with the Star Spirit a few times, and practice was the only criterion for testing the truth.

Graphite Consciousness said again: "Star Spirit, simulate it into that saw, I'll take a look." ”

The Star Spirit received this message immediately and responded quickly.

Immediately after, the piece of black purple ore in his left hand turned into a saw that the star spirit had absorbed before, it seemed to be easy and simple, and the information and meaning contained in it were very rich.

In addition to the excitement, Graphite tried to make the star spirit simulate: a fruit knife, a mobile phone, a flashlight, a lighter......

After practice, graphite is 200% certain, and he has definitely picked up a treasure this time! The Astral can simulate any object within its perceptual range, regardless of whether it has the same function or not, and this property alone is enough to be called an anti-celestial character.

Graphite decided to immediately go one step further.

So, he first tried out a simulated lighter.

"Smack!" --- there is no fire.

He continued to "snap! Syllable! Syllable! "Three times, the simulated lighter still can't fire.

Graphite took out his lighter, lit a few demonstrative fires, and asked consciously: "Xingling, look at it, my original lighter can make fire, why can't the lighter you simulate now?" Didn't you even simulate the liquefied gas inside? ”

Then, he quickly received the consciousness of the star spirit: "Mo, to be sacrificed"?? "To light a fire?"

This conscious answer of the astral spirit contains two "?? Graphite decided to define it as a cell body, because Graphite was obviously able to realize that the star spirit was talking about a monomer like a bacterium or a cell, in other words, these cell bodies should be similar to the cells of the human body, and the star spirit meant to ask if it was necessary to sacrifice some cellular energy to achieve the purpose of ignition.

Graphite decisively instructed: "Let's achieve ignition, Star Spirit, we need the results of this experiment." ”

After receiving the affirmative response from the Star Spirit, Graphite pressed the lighter simulated by the Star Spirit again, and immediately after, the fire was easily ignited.

Obviously, the Astral not only simulates the physical properties of the object, but even the chemical properties of the substance.

After that, graphite tested the mobile phone and flashlight, and the experimental results showed that all of them could realize their actual use functions!

The results of these experiments made graphite completely excited! His heart trembled slightly.

The experimental results show that Xingling can not only be simulated, but more importantly, it can realize energy conversion, and its energy conversion ability has exceeded the imagination of graphite, thermal energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, Xingling can be converted, what does this mean? To say that the simulation of the star spirit is at least at the molecular level, or even deeper, it simulates almost the entire physical properties of the object.

Take the mobile phone as an example, the parts, materials, circuits, design, and software involved in the smart phone in the graphite hand almost include most of the achievements of human scientific and technological civilization, and Xingling, it actually simulated the function of the mobile phone, which shows what the problem is, it can be called a civilized copier! In other words, human civilization has few secrets in front of it.

Graphite suddenly had an infinite reverie for the future......

……

Soon, he retracted those over-the-top associations and returned to reality.

"Star Spirit, if I'm not mistaken, you should be able to find the metal minerals you need on your own, right? How do you usually find mines? ”

Then, Graphite's consciousness pushed the door in......

This kind of consciousness exchange is really amazing, graphite is like pushing open the door of consciousness of the star spirit, and what he wants to know is placed squarely in the most conspicuous place for him to browse casually......

In the same way, graphite can't prevent the star spirit, and the star spirit can also break into him at any time!

As a result, Graphite knew that it was okay for the star spirits to find metal ores by themselves, and he also knew why he now had a magical perception ability, because from the perspective of life evolution, such as the star spirits, which live on metals, they are born with the ability to perceive to explore the distribution of minerals underground, just like some fish living in the depths of the deep sea, although they do not have eyes, they must have perceptual organs, which is the evolution of life.

From this point of view, some laws of the universe are indeed universal.

Obviously, like all the countless bacteria that live on Earth, bacteria don't need eyes, they naturally have their own set of rules of survival, and the same is true of the astral spirit, whose way of living determines that it must evolve incredible perception.

Of course, about these speculations, graphite is not quite sure, he is not a scientist, he is just a novice of science.

His poor knowledge of civil science made him only able to deduce a plausible answer, perhaps the truth was far from what he could reach now.

It doesn't matter what kind of mine is under the feet of graphite, how many mines are there?

Thankfully, the Star Spirit did think that there was some food that it was useful for, so when Graphite watched the Star Spirit melt into the ground like his own body, Graphite breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

The food behind the star spirit has fallen, Graphite thought to himself.

……

It was already early in the morning.

A small was jumping up and down on the ridge of the old roof.

Suddenly, a sound disturbed the little, and it flapped its wings and flew to the ginkgo tree next to it, its little eyes vigilantly observing where the sound was coming from.

With a "squeak", the main entrance of the old house was opened.

A thin man walked out of the door, his face looked a little pale, he was not handsome, but not ugly, the biggest highlight was his eyes, his eyes were dark and distinct, deep with a little vicissitudes and indifference, his whole person looked weak and delicate, his eyes fell on the courtyard.

Last night's autumn wind spread the fallen leaves all over a yard.

He turned around and grabbed a bamboo broom, walked to the courtyard and began to sweep the fallen leaves all over the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The years in the mountains returned to the peace they were supposed to have after the Star Spirit went to mine.

After a person has experienced the horror of life and death, some things and some ideas will definitely change, such as the spring breeze and rain moisturizing things silently, the graphite that experienced the great test of life and death is like this, in the past he was always proud and stubborn but also a little decadent and helpless, now the two lives are people and see the clouds, he has learned to cherish, cherish these simple and simple days, plain as water.

After breakfast, Graphite carried a hoe to the back garden, and he planned to tidy up the vegetable garden in the back garden and plant some vegetables and fruits.

Although Graphite left home as a teenager to study and work, he has hardly done any farm work, but after all, he is still a farmer, so it is not difficult for him to clean up a vegetable field.

For the next day, he was busy in the back garden, carefully removing the wild grass in the vegetable garden, and then turning the ground deeply, and he planned to drive to the market another day to buy some rapeseed seedlings and plant them, believing that soon there would be a vibrant vegetable garden here.

After a day's work, he didn't feel too tired, but felt that he had moved his body, and the whole person couldn't say that he was refreshed and happy.

It's near dusk.

Graphite got up the wood stove in the kitchen, fried a plate of beef and a plate of vegetables in a large pot, and found the unopened liquor in the house, which was the inventory of the family during the previous Chinese New Year.

After dinner, I went to sit under the ginkgo tree for a while.

……

The next day, graphite got up earlier, at six o'clock.

He decided to go for a run this morning, and after a day of calm yesterday, some vague thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, so he got up and ran today.

If a person is not even healthy, everything else is a dream.

He decided that he should exercise his body as much as possible, and no matter what incredible abilities those bodies gave him, he felt that he should keep a normal mind and work hard, and from the moment he climbed out of the abyss, he told himself that things are always impermanent.

In addition, he wants to test himself by running, he needs to know himself, understand this new body, know himself and know that he is invincible, he can't be sure what he is, the only thing he is sure of is that he better be able to know himself.

In his plan, it is not only a running test, it is just a kind of endurance, he also plans to test speed, explosiveness, strength, reflexes, etc., as long as it involves physical aspects, he has decided to explore and understand as much as possible.
