Chapter 117: The Endless Possibilities ......
The survival of the fittest is ever-changing, and virtual creatures are curled up in dimensions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes, all known sapient beings originated from source spores."
Yuchen gently grabbed a strand of white spores and carefully combed it, revealing a somewhat stunned expression on his face exactly the same as Xing Lan: "Intelligent life is not produced on the planet, but comes from these small spores, and some people even think that the source spores are some kind of embodied form of the soul. ”
"Source spores are information-state substances produced by the superposition of countless qubits, and as a strange existence with uncertain microscopic structure, it records endless information and has endless possibilities."
"If the source spores fall on a hot planet close to the star, it will evolve into a sulfur-based organism with sulfide blood. If it lands on a rocky planet at a temperature suitable for the presence of liquid water, it will evolve into a carbon-based organism with water flowing through it. If it lands on a cold planet far from the star, it will evolve into a nitrogen-based organism in a liquid nitrogen environment. If it lands on a calm, waveless crystalline planet, it will evolve into a silicon-based organism that absorbs light and electricity. If it lands on a storm-ridden gas giant, it will evolve into a dense gaseous creature that absorbs the energy of lightning. What's more, the ability of the source spores is not only like this, if it falls on a star, it will form a burning plasma organism, and if it falls in a black hole, it will evolve into a graviton creature or even a virtual creature that lives in the mathematical world...... This is not a pseudo-intelligent creature in the electronic circuit, but a real virtual creature. Can you understand a virtual creature that is completely incomprehensible in the ordinary real world? The number of rises and falls of every physical formula in a small area may be their heartbeat, and every change in a constant is their breathing...... Of course, this kind of life, which is a catastrophe for the ordinary world, can only survive in the horizon where the fundamental laws are shattered by the huge gravitational pull of the black hole, so it will not have an impact on the outer universe. ”
"Wait......" Xing Lan's eyes widened sharply, interrupting Yu Chen's words, "Since it is impossible for such beings to leave the Black Hole Horizon, how does the outside world know about their existence?" Unless ......"
Under Yu Chen's expressionless gaze, Xinglan whispered more and more, and she suddenly realized the answer: "There is one or more ways to continue to transmit information to the outside world across time and space after entering the black hole horizon......"
"There are some things that don't do any good to know too early." Yuchen shook his head slightly, and said in a voice as crisp as Xinglan's, but without any undulations, "Maybe it's a little too early for you to know the existence of this creature whose body is based on the laws of physics......"
"The survivability of the source spores is almost limitless, and it can evolve life on any kind of celestial body. The spores that float in the universe will absorb the energy of the cosmic starlight and multiply themselves over a long period of time, which is the only way to expand the number of source spores. Because no matter what kind of planet it is on, the microstructure of the source spores has only one chance to collapse into a definite gene, and once it becomes any ordinary organism, then it will never be reduced to the source spores again. The dice hit the ground, and the result could no longer be changed. Yuchen continued, "Thankfully, there seems to be something invisible in the underworld that restricts the source spores, so that it will also undergo a probability screening when it evolves, and the probability of whether it evolves in different environments is different, which avoids the scene of the universe being overwhelmed by endless life, and also makes carbon-based life the most popular mainstream, and also preserves a part of the special precious primordial spores as a witness to history." ”
"So that purple disc...... Ah, the Flying Saucer will chase me because my ship has taken some of the precious spores? Xinglan saw Yuchen nodding and biting her fingers to ask her own question, "So, what am I?" ”
“…… Kindness? ”
"What am I?" Xinglan frowned and asked in a tangled manner, "The source spores fell to the stars and evolved into plasma creatures, obviously I am not a plasma creature, but I don't think I am just a simple machine without a soul, so what am I?" ”
"So you're struggling with this......" Yuchen suddenly smiled, this was the first time a faint smile appeared on her three-nothing face, "I've said it all, the source spores have endless possibilities, and plasma organisms are just the example I gave, not that only plasma organisms can be formed on the stars." ”
"This ...... That's ......."
"And according to my judgment, while your consciousness may have been born in a star, the evolutionary judgment environment of the source spores is not a star."
"Not a star?" Xinglan felt that she couldn't react, "Since it was born in a star, what else can it be to judge that the environment is not a star?" ”
"Not necessarily!" The smile on Yu Chen's face became more and more obvious, and his tone also rose slightly, "Signal, that's what you call this kind of foundational composition." In the star, the source spor's judgment of its own evolutionary environment has another option besides the star, and that is the space dimension itself! The evolutionary environment is ...... Space! ”
……
Xinglan gasped a little heavily, and even the various operations of the signal subnetwork had some small mistakes due to the panic of the subject's consciousness, and even she felt that her voice no longer looked like it came from herself: "Space? What you mean is that the signalns are made up of space lifeforms......"
"What do you think particles can be so small? Matter is highly condensed energy, but in essence matter is a fold in space. As supraelementary particles, the signalns formed by the source spores that collapse directionally in space are basically at the level of spatial folds. Yuchen stretched out his palms upwards and projected the image of a distorted piece of cloth, "Matter and information are reintegrated into the dimension itself in the process of formation, forming intelligent space fragments connected by quantum effects at the microscopic level, and the smaller sub-signal particles are already only slightly larger than Planck's space." ”
"It seems...... It makes perfect sense. Xinglan recalled the previous incident, "Because the signal prons themselves are space fragments that are curved in a high-dimensional complex way, they can affect physical matter through space bending, and they can pass through any object without a shadow or invisibly, and it is precisely because it is a curled up space that it will be devastatingly mutated under the impact of dark energy that can expand space, completely destroyed in a black hole that can tear space, and can cause overwhelming damage to the space shield of the airlift." ”
"The possibilities are endless, because even if you and I are very similar, there will still be many differences." Yuchen's projection let go of a part of the spore in his hand, and he took another step in the weightless space, passing through the porthole and entering the main control room, "Judging from experience, if I didn't guess, you should have broken into one of their biological experiment bases." ”
"Biological experiment base? But when I went there before, it was obviously a magnetic ring island where migratory star birds lived, and I hadn't seen any civilization creations......" Xinglan was puzzled and packaged a video of the Spark in the magnetic ring island and sent it to Yuchen, "Why did it suddenly become a biological experiment base?" ”
“…… It's a bit complicated. Yuchen regained his expressionless state, "It seems that the dormant source spores were originally lurking inside that island, which is a bit ...... It's kind of weird. ”
"Strange?"
"Yes, the source spores are floating in the universe, and even if they are not able to activate the evolved creatures, the source spores on the planet will unconsciously return to the universe in a short period of time, and they can ignore gravity if they need to." Yuchen analyzed, "But these source spores seem to have been deliberately sealed inside the magnetic ring, and a small part of them have been artificially activated and directed to guide the evolutionary process, which has formed a state where you only see migratory star birds there, and no other creatures exist, are they playing the role of guardians or sentinels?" ”
"The source spores can also be activated artificially?" Xinglan was taken aback.
Yu Chen looked at Xing Lan calmly: "Otherwise, why do you think the empty disc would value the source spores so much?" This is not only to explore the mystery of the origin of life, but also to create powerful biological weapons. I'm sure you've already seen the results of their initial evolution? ”
"That's right...... I understand. Xinglan said in a solemn tone, "The biological experiment base, that's right, the experimental creatures they made with the source spores are the lock star sacs." ”
Lock the star sac, this unscientific creature that should not exist at all, now it seems that it is the star-eating creature artificially cultivated by the civilization of the Sky Disc using the source spores in the sky above the blue star?
"Well, and that red giant didn't just form a cone-shaped hydrogen cloud because of the gravitational pull of the blue star." Yuchen continued to tell her astonishing inference, "I'm afraid it was artificially broken down to facilitate the collection of stellar energy, so it left the shape of being pierced, and if you look closely, you can find the annular impact crown left by the penetration of small objects at the top of the cone-shaped gas cloud." ”
"I see, is it any wonder that binary star system has fallen to this point in just a few hundred million years, all because the civilization of the Aerial Disk discovered the source spores that were sealed in the magnetic ring island? I don't know what happened to the Star Bird in the end......" Xinglan bit her lip and looked at Yuchen in front of her, "What about you?" Why are you so kind to explain all this to me? ”
"After all, we are of the same clan in a broad sense, and we are still willing to help when we see the younger generations, not to mention that we also have some festivals with the empty saucer." Yuchen walked up to Xing Lan, smiled at the latter's surprised eyes, and continued to say in the same voice that made Xing Lan feel uncomfortable, "Actually, I'm going to propose a deal to you, of course, to negotiate in a peaceful state. ”
"Delivery...... Trade? ”
"I want half of the source spore silk in Xia, and this thing is also very precious to Xia." Yuchen said bluntly.
"I see, I'm still shocked." Xing Lan looked at Yuchen seriously, "Actually, if you are really ready to rob it, you can easily grab all these spores." In return for your help, half of the spore can be given to you completely. ”
"Thank you, in fact, the next thing I plan to pay in the transaction is not intelligence, but something else." The corners of Yu Chen's mouth lifted again, and he smiled almost exactly like Xinglan, "For that dying carbon-based creature in your arms, I think I might be able to help you a little." ”
"Huh...... Huh? ”
