In the course, the alien scientist in charge of teaching by the code name "Professor" by Yuan Haochen asked all the students in the course to design and build a data model of advanced life forms through computers.

The "professor" said that there are no special requirements other than giving full play to imagination and being able to be logically self-consistent.

This reminded Yuan of the task he had assigned by his kindergarten teacher when he was a child - "drawing monsters".

What do you think a little kid of what age can you understand? It is conceivable that children's imagination of unknown creatures is just processing the elements of what they see and hear in their heads.

As a result, the monsters drawn by children either have more than two heads, several pairs of wings, and a variety of eyes......

"The most fundamental difference between super lifeforms should be that they have superb intelligence......

When Yuan Haochen began to design his super life model, the first thing he thought of was what superb intelligence was, and how super life forms would have the ability to think to the limit.

"Simply understood, the faster you think, the smarter you should be. Have I set a limit, the speed of light? Yes, in order for super-lifeforms to be as intelligent as they are in three-dimensional space (where the speed of light is the upper limit), they must at least have the ability to think at the speed of light. ”

So, Yuan Haochen first introduced this criterion into his computer.

Using humans as a reference group, the speed at which the average person thinks is limited by the speed of nerve conduction signals because there are three types of fibers in the human nerve trunk:

That is, class A fibers, myelinated somatic efferent (motor) and afferent (sensory) fibers, with a diameter of 1-22 microns and a conduction velocity of 5-120 meters per second;

Class B fibers, myelinated splanchnic preganglionic fibers, less than 3 microns in diameter, conduction velocity of 3-15 meters per second;

Class C fibers, unmyelinated afferent fibers and unmyelinated sympathetic postganglionic fibers, 0.3-1.3 μm in diameter, conduction velocity 0.6-2.3 m/s.

Therefore, Yuan added a nerve conduction signal speed of 100 meters per second to the human model data of the control group, and set the super-life model data to the speed of light.

"So, how can you think at the speed of light? This is something that even artificial intelligence and supercomputers may not be able to do. ”

Yuan Haochen knew very well that this was a big problem that was difficult to solve.

"Is it possible that in order to reach the limit of thinking power, super life will voluntarily give up its original material form?"

Yuan continued to think, and used computer simulations and sketches a prototype.

"It doesn't matter if we have hands or feet, machinery can do anything for us. Super lifeforms only need brains. ”

He further refined the design framework.

"The brain also cannot exist in the form of conventional matter, it must use high-quality superconducting materials, or, directly, exist in an energy state, without matter."

Entering this into the computer simulation program, two images immediately appeared in Yuan Chen's mind:

The first is the form of God described in many theological writings, which is like light.

The second is the artificial intelligence that exists in the form of dark energy.

No matter which image it is, it makes Yuan Haochen feel uncomfortable. Because gods make mortals seem small, artificial intelligence always stands in opposition to intelligent life.

But the research topic had to continue, and he had to put aside the discomfort in his heart for a while.

"And what should a super-life look like?" Yuan Haochen thought secretly, and gave full play to his imagination, "If they have a brain that exists in the form of light or pure energy. What should be the structure of this brain? ”

Next, Yuan designed a system in which all branches of thought could interact at equal speed, so that all the information exchange, merger, and transmission efficiency of the super life form would be the same.

"A spherical ...... of light"

Yuan Haochen saw the appearance of the super life form he designed for the first time, and he still had a sense of déjà vu.

"If they want to be smarter, they have to increase the capacity of their brains."

So Hara set the diameter of the brain of this super life form to 500 meters, and based on the speed of light, she can process nearly 10 million information exchanges per second. This efficiency almost made the average person model in the system as the control group despair, and even his own super-brain power was far from it.

"In addition, the brain capacity of the super life form can be expanded to a larger volume at any time as needed...... Yuan Haochen continued to add, "Who said that the body size of a super life form cannot be fat or thin?" Of course you can! ”

As a result, in the data model, countless balls of light of different sizes appeared, each of which was a superlife.

"Perhaps, when super-lifeforms need to deal with difficult problems, they can also be combined with each other......"

"So, what kind of living environment do these god super lifeforms need?"

Yuan Haochen continued to imagine boldly.

"Tremendous pressure, constant energy consumption...... The gravity environment doesn't matter, because their mass is negligible......"

Several key conditions are entered into the data model.

"It's unusually hot, yes, they must like it, because in a very high temperature environment, all the particles and energy are active......"

A picture of light and fire intertwined and frenzied dancing came to Yuan Haochen's mind. In such a state, the brain of the super-life forms will be at their most efficient, "so they are in a state of eternal orgasm, and the pleasure of humans is so short-lived in comparison......"

"When it comes to orgasm, then, do these super lifeforms need to mate + mate, and how can they reproduce the next generation?"

Yuan was lost in thought, and the question was not only about science, but also about ethics and philosophy.

"Since they have reached the limit of their intelligence and cannot be optimized in the short term, they should not need the next generation."

In order to make his model a little simpler, Yuan deliberately avoided this problem.

"By the way, and the question of longevity, will they die?"

"How do they communicate with us?"

"What is the meaning of the existence of superlifeforms?"

Reviewing the data model of the super life form that was slowly revealed, Yuan Haochen thought of a lot of questions related to it.

Soon, Yuan Haochen made inferences based on his own cognition.

"They should have an extremely long life, but they also need a stable external living environment that is harsh to the point where they can't stop for a second......"

"They will never communicate with the humans in the data model, because this human is so stupid, they can only speak dozens or hundreds of words a minute, and their thinking and communication skills are also terrible, and the super life will feel like a waste of time after waiting for a ten-thousandth of a second for humans in the process ......of communication."

"It's really boring to have such a structure of life, but wouldn't I fall into the logic of a lower creature when I think about it this way? They may be more concerned about the universe itself......

Data models are starting to get more complex.

No matter what the other students came up with, at least Hara Haochen had created a unique super life in his computer system - countless balls of energy light of different sizes floating in a pure ocean of energy!

"The world looks so monotonous." Yuan Haochen laughed at himself, the model that was built in a hurry, how to talk about the world.

But as the observation deepened, Yuan began to feel that this data model became more and more familiar to him.

"These ......"

Yuan Haochen frowned slightly, thinking quietly.

"Stellar! Universe!! ”

He unexpectedly discovered that these high-temperature, high-pressure, and huge energy spheres of light are not very similar to stars in space? The environment in which these balls of light of different shapes are located is like the vast universe, wide and inclusive, broad and profound.

"Stellar...... Of course it won't be a high-level lifeform. Yuan Haochen chuckled, "First of all, stars are not pure energy, they are made up of a large amount of interstellar matter. Second, how could they allow us inferior beings to oppress and destroy their bodies......"

"However, it is possible that the universe is a huge life form......"

"Such a view is not unusual."

Yuan Haochen looked at the advanced life form he had created in the virtual world and fell into deep thought again......
