2110 The foundation of inhumanity
With its elongated limbs and a nimble snake belly, the dwarfed Elemental Being, at first glance, is an enemy with both speed and dexterity, and has strong melee combat skills. Its running posture is almost like that of a beast, with its forearms as a supporting fulcrum, and its body pressed low during the march - this kind of leaning balance can also be done by the prosthetic body Takakawa, but it is not as simple as imagined. If you only think that this body life is only good at hand-to-hand combat, this kind of cognition is likely to bury itself in the next second, and it has been a long time since the prosthetic Takakawa has not used the situation of "seeing" to evaluate the opponent, in the battlefield full of "mystery", any inherent concept may be broken, and using people's own shallow cognitive concepts to treat heterogeneous intelligent beings that are very different in a living environment, and using people's way of thinking to speculate on the existence of those who seem to be people, has always proved to be a fatal mistake.
Prosthetic Gao Chuan doesn't know what he looks like in the eyes of these physical beings, and what kind of perception he feels, he can know every change in his prosthesis, just because the data of these changes have been recorded, however, how can he understand that huge data in a short time? The beginnings of these changes all stem from the frequency and intensity of battles, in which there is little time to devote to confirming one's own state—indeed, he can still "think" and "know", but these actions are superfluous in the most thrilling of battles.
Why is it scary to think about the endless flow of thoughts that arise from the erosion of the disease? Because these reflections are not only guiding and revealing cognition, but also occupying their own ability to process intelligence.
Nowadays, the prosthetic body Takakawa no longer has a "brain" in the true sense, he fights with his whole body, uses his whole body to produce behavior, and at the same time uses his whole body to think, how much of this belongs to the "instinctive" part? How much is the "subjective" or "subconscious" part? He didn't know, and he couldn't tell, that the human "brain" is an extremely complex project, and there are many blocks in it, which is similar to the technology of "brain hardware". However, when the whole prosthetic body is responsible for the work that should be the responsibility of the "brain", he suddenly discovers that the structure of the prosthesis is dense and delicate, but there is not much functional distinction - the areas and structures responsible for processing information within the "brain" are different, and sometimes multiple regional structures work together, but what about the prosthesis? What about construct materials? These are things that have no structure at the physical level, and there is no division of blocks, and when it is regarded as "matter", this large "matter" seems to be just a pile of matter of the same nature, with no atoms or molecules, and it does not belong to the "particles" that people see in common sense at all.
It is not carbon-based, nor is it any other base, if you have to say, the term "primitive life" in the understanding of mysterious experts is in the sense, and it is relatively correctly described: it is just "prime", what does "prime" mean? What does "base" mean? Combining all the semantics of the two words, and then thinking about it, it seems that you can figure out what this thing is - but only by seeming, does anyone really understand what "Suki" and "Physical" are? Is there a clear explanation? The answer is: no.
It's ambiguous, it's powerful, it's grassroots, it's simple—a structure that comes from what people can recognize, that is the most monotonous of the imagination, but which is also the basis of all higher functions.
Prosthetics, Bodies, Constructs, Primes, Gray Particles...... These words, which are little known in normal human society, represent and have the closest relationship with each other.
Prosthetic Takagawa couldn't help but think, I'm afraid that these physical beings are actually the same as my current self, not using the "brain" to recognize and think, but using the whole body to carry out corresponding activities. Think by the "whole body", not by a single part of the body, and by the "whole body" reacts, not by one part of the body. This kind of monolithic nature, without information dissemination, and without recursive and parallel sequences, is difficult to understand.
However, since I have become such a movement structure, I can move freely even if I can't understand it. Don't think, because thinking inevitably carries with it human cognition, and such cognition only hinders incomprehensible movements. Even if Dorothy stressed, don't give up thinking, don't reduce everything to feelings, that will only accelerate the erosion of the ego. However, Takakawa does not feel that the current battle can be comfortable enough for him to continue thinking.
The changes that occur in the prosthetic body lead to the corresponding changes in one's consciousness and behavior to match the changes in the prosthetic body—this is the most obvious way in which the material carrier strongly influences the activities of the spiritual level. Prosthetic Takakawa doesn't know if Dorothy and Omi have foreseen this situation, after all, they are the ones who create, adjust, and transform the prosthesis. What they do allows them to work at full efficiency even when they have lost their brain hardware and native brain, and even more efficient than when they used their brains before, which may be the adaptability and endurance they hope they should have in response to bad situations, but for the prosthetic Takakawa, who has personally experienced this process, he does not feel that the changes in his spiritual consciousness and personality cognition are what they want to see.
When the material carrier that carries the consciousness of personality changes, people are still "people", which is just the beauty in the story. Those who have become monsters, as well as the immortals whose life structure has changed, can still think from the cognitive perspective of "human", and recognize the concept of "human", or expand the concept of "human", and emphasize their own humanity from a self-conscious category, such things are as beautiful as fairy tales and as unreal as fairy tales in the eyes of Yoshita Takakawa.
In less than 0.00000000 seconds, when the prosthetic Takakawa saw the spreading scarlet, like a flame, like blood, around his neck and fluttering out of his body, a strong feeling of deception if he denied himself emerged from his heart: his past self may still be in an ambiguous state of being like a human and inhuman, but now he is 99% no longer a "human".
But what exactly is yourself? I don't know. It looks very similar to the physical life, but has it become a physical life? Or is it an alternative physical life? I don't know. Prosthetics, primitives, constructs, gray particles...... No matter how deeply these things are related to each other, he does not have enough information to compare and analyze them, and no one has come to answer them. All the living beings in his field of vision are enemies.
In the eyes of others, the process can only be described as an "instant", but in the eyes of the prosthetic Takakawa, it is broken down into extremely clear fragments. Even so, he could still understand how fast this short body life that rushed directly towards him was, and behind him, the group of body beings standing by the transparent wall, looking through the wall, seemed to be operating some work, and their movements were also very fast—what they had to do seemed to be tedious and required a certain amount of time, but the whole process was smooth and seemed to have not encountered many obstacles.
The prosthetic body has wirelessly invaded the interface where these elemental beings are operating through the unique channels within Sha, but the internal information that should have been completely controlled by Sha, and the self-protection mechanism that should have been effective in the worst-case scenario, are like a stone sinking to the bottom, without the slightest sign of reaction. All the exchange of information, invasion and counter-invasion, all takes place between the prosthetic and the physical life, and it seems that there is only oneself.
This brought the feeling that the prosthetic Takagawa was very familiar with, and the enemy was outnumbered. Even if he didn't see it, he knew that the Three Immortals Island was behind that glass wall, an abyss that could not see the bottom from this position, a huge hollow large enough to contain the entire Three Immortals Island and hide it. It is precisely because of the existence of the most powerful safety isolation mechanism in this abyssal void that these elemental beings can only be dealt with in a way that seems advanced at the moment, but is actually very "clumsy".
It seemed only a matter of time before the "safe" containing the Three Immortals Island was prying open for these elemental beings - however, since they had such a feeling, it meant that it was still some time before they completely invaded the Three Immortals Island.
In high-speed battles, this "for a while" is more than enough. What's even more coincidental is that the prosthetic Takakawa also doesn't want to try to open this "safe" by himself, who knows how many traps "Sha", who has always been in contact with Omi, after transferring the use rights of Sanxian Island, has placed in it? Even though "Sha" has not responded now, in the unlikely case, Prosthetic Takakawa does not feel that he has much chance of successfully avoiding all the safety isolation mechanisms and reactivating the Three Immortals Island.
From this point of view, if it weren't for these elemental lifeforms, it would probably be a headache for both him and the mysterious experts who rushed to the other ships of the Cosmic Joint Experimental Fleet.
These are not "thinking", but "conclusions" given directly by the operation of the prosthetic, without the process of thinking, one established conclusion after another, is guiding the actions of the prosthetic Takakawa, letting him know what to do - no, before knowing, the prosthetic has already responded to these results. Producing conclusions, responding to conclusions, this is all there is to the prosthetic body Gao Chuan today, all spiritual consciousness activities are no longer in line with human common sense and the laws of the human body, although they are described by "thinking" and "thoughts", but it is not because such a description is correct, but just that there is no other better description in the vocabulary of human language.
Removing part of the process of consciousness activities, directly obtaining results and response results, making the actions of the prosthetic Takakawa more strange and swift, and the speed of rapid sweep generation is being applied with unprecedented efficiency. In the first moment, the dwarf corporeal life can still keep up; In the second moment, his reaction was already far from the actions of the prosthetic Takakawa; In the third moment, the short body life force to speed in an inexplicable way, but in addition to the strength of "speed", the skills that the prosthetic Takakawa has honed in the war have already played a role in the staggering of the two sides.
In the fourth moment, the prosthetic Takagawa and the prosthetic life switched places.
The prosthetic body of Takakawa, which had completely turned into the image of "exoskeleton armor", cracked everywhere, and the long fluttering scarf like blood and fire was also cut in the sharp air current, spilling into the air. But when these things that looked like a rain of blood, like embers and sparks, stuck to the prosthesis, the damaged parts wriggled and contracted like living flesh.
Behind him, the short, swift body of life had sunk heavily into the ground, its limbs twisted, and its neck had almost been plucked off, leaving only a pipe like a spinal nerve. The humanoid body twitched like a human, it wasn't dead, it just couldn't get back up, it still had the idea of fighting, it had many weapons that went with it, and the superior fighting skills that had developed around this near-critical weapon, but when it wasn't used in the moment of engagement, for whatever reason, it was no longer usable.
Unfortunately, the prosthetic body came to the conclusion that if this dwarf body life was not so similar to Takakawa in terms of characteristics, then it would not have been solved so quickly. Many grotesque and mysterious powers, able to avoid the most direct physical impacts, bring the battle into another rhythm, another angle. It's just that these body beings seem to feel that the candidate with the most similar characteristics to Gao Chuan can know themselves and the other is the best opponent.
Past battles have proven many times that an enemy similar to Takakawa has never defeated Takakawa. It was Father Sissen, who was very different, who was the most effective in the confrontation and won.
Whether it is a battle at the material level or a battle at the information level, the prosthetic Gao Chuan has gradually gotten better, he has no ideas, all this is completely dominated by the prosthetic, and it is so natural. He only carried out the most basic activities according to his most basic structure, and victory came to him as an inevitability.
