Chapter Ninety-Eight is from the Sea of Stars

Shure's gravitational tentacles were entangled, forming a colorful mist-like mass, and the brown core in his middle was slowly becoming transparent, and finally his entire body was completely integrated into the mist, and his fellow people seemed to be used to this kind of scene for a long time, but Mark and the other humans saw it for the first time, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the wonderful changes in front of them.

In the center of that dense fog, a conspicuous point of light gradually emerged, its light became brighter and brighter, and its volume became larger and larger, from a star point to a huge ball of light, its surface surging with blazing fire, the turbulent energy flow inside threw a large amount of matter into the void, and there were countless star spots in the fog behind it, but they no longer expanded, just remained as they were, which was a distant galaxy reflected in the background of the black universe.

It was a star, a star in its prime with the same infinite power as the sun, it was rapidly expanding, but Mark didn't feel any heat, and the small star was almost floating in front of them, so real that it was just an illusory image. Shure's voice came to them from all directions, so that his voice sounded more ethereal and mysterious, not like a chatter, but like a visionary revelation of the gods that a prophet had heard.

We were born inside such a huge star, and it may be difficult for you to imagine that there would be life in such an environment, but it is true, no one created us, and we are intelligent life born under occasional conditions. Life itself is a great existence, the universe is too cold, too dangerous, there is only such a little space suitable for the existence of life, whether the form is complex or not, the civilization is brilliant or not, the existence of life itself is a very remarkable thing, life is the rarest gem in the universe, this is the proverb of our race, translated into your language as concise and concise.

Just as your most primitive ancestors were born in the boiling ocean of thunder and lightning, we are developed from the natural photonic circuit structure formed by natural coincidence, which is not difficult to understand, your brain structure is also through the flow of electrons to think, but your way of using electrons is more primitive, and it must be carried out by ionophores, compared to us is much more convenient, we ourselves are composed of gravitational structures and photon circuits, We are able to think and communicate through the flow of photons, which is what you call heart-to-heart communication......

However, this method did not give us much advantage in the early development of civilization, and most of the photonic structures that make up us were short-lived, and most of them were destroyed by the strong energy flow of the stars before they could make any changes, and only a few were lucky enough to survive. Just as a wave passes through a magnetic field to sympathetic to form a new, smaller magnetic field, the photon itself is a type of wave, creating a new photon circuit when the star's energy passes through the original photonic circuit structure.

You think that the essence of life is survival and self-replication, do you think this is reproduction? Maybe you don't think so at this time, if you stumble upon this phenomenon, you won't think it's life, just like a snowflake will replicate another snowflake like itself at a low temperature, you think it's just a clever natural phenomenon.

But in our opinion, that is reproduction, photon circuits in the coincidental replication of tens of millions of times, the weak gravitational pull between them connected them together, quantitative changes will eventually accumulate into qualitative changes, and finally countless photon circuits constitute our first ancestor, it is the first of us to have a gravitational core, it has since consciously controlled the gravitational field, to complete the process of continuous self-replication, it constantly adds the copied photon circuits to itself, in this close to instinctive process, It's getting smarter and more powerful.

Finally, one day it extended the first gravitational tentacle, which was the first step towards our real civilization, which was formed by the highly dense core extending outward, and after having the gravitational tentacles, it was more efficient to complete the replication task, and it was able to continuously modify its own photonic structure, so that they became more orderly, and the efficiency of transmitting photons was higher, we call it the origin nucleus.

However, there is always a limit to the endurance of the core, and the primordial core quickly reached the limit of what it can absorb, and then it tried to assemble another gravitational core according to its own model, and after an unknown number of failures, it finally succeeded, and from this moment on, our civilization was truly born.

You don't know how long this process will take, I can tell you...... 300 million years, on your time scale, is equivalent to the course of all life on Earth to date, but in our history there is only one ancient pioneer...... A lonely time.

Our evolutionary journey is unbelievably long, this is our strength and our weakness, and in ancient times, our ancient sages used gravitational tentacles to perform complex experiments that were more accurate than your most advanced microprobes, but the innate structure also allowed us to grow extremely slowly...... You carbon-based creatures have an innate evolutionary potential, and your structure is simple and crude...... Pardon me, you have sown a huge amount of genetic blueprints through mass breeding, and finally selected the best individuals through constant mutation and environmental selection.

You have sacrificed your heritable memory and longevity for this potential, and in fact we are envious that we have not had more than four digits in our population since the beginning of the Primordial generation, and that we have experienced very tragic wars and disasters in our history, and every attrition will devastate our vitality.

The earliest energy source used by you in the history of mankind, if I am not mistaken, should be fire, you live on the surface of an aerobic planet with a constant temperature, and it is easy for you to discover the source of fire in nature due to some coincidence, this is not an accidental phenomenon, in fact, most carbon-based civilizations started in this way.

And the first energy in nature that we have learned to use since our birth is nuclear energy.
