The projection of a mysterious entity of the same kind, originating from the legend of the soul of Spore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Woo...... Dust? ”

Xinglan muttered and repeated, feeling indescribably strange, the two sides who were fighting to the death just now stopped fighting at the same time, and the other party actually started to introduce themselves as a matter of course, calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, don't be surprised by this distinguished guest from afar." Yuchen seemed to understand Xinglan's thoughts, and quickly sent a message to explain, "It was just a joke just now, we shouldn't be friends, don't forget that the destruction of that empty disc in Xia Xia did you a great favor before." ”

"Empty disc? Do you know a lot about those strange ships? Xinglan was startled, she only thought that the other party had easily destroyed the other party because the purple frisbee had accidentally tracked her here, but now it seemed that this guy who called himself Yuchen seemed to know quite a lot about this strange purple disc, "What is the origin of this race that applies space technology to all aspects?" Why are all their ships exactly the same? And what is the strange liquid that spews out of the wreckage? ”

"Calm, calm......" Yuchen seemed to be taken aback by the large number of messages sent by Xing Lan, and replied with a hint of amusement, "Guest, knowing the answers to some questions too early is not necessarily a good thing!" Besides, as a matter of courtesy, shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking a question? ”

“…… All right. Xinglan was slightly stunned, and then realized that the other party had no obligation to answer questions for herself, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy with this kind of communication method that completely invisibly saw the other party's expression and tone, and could only completely guess the other party's intentions like sending a text message chat, "My name is Xinglan." ”

"Xinglan? I understand it below. The power of the dust to occupy the spaceship's system quickly receded like a tide, leaving only a small piece for sending messages, "So, what's next...... What the? ”

"Is that really the case? Pretending to be mysterious for so long, I finally got the handle......" Xinglan muttered thoughtfully, in order to confirm the conjecture in her heart, she specially let the dense signal particles form several layers of dense layers on the outer layer of the circuit chip, which are tighter than the photon capture net, tightly surrounding this space from all directions.

Just now, when the other party evacuated a large number of chips, even if he didn't succeed in catching anything, the delay of just a few seconds still allowed Xinglan to get a glimpse of Yuchen's true face.

"Sure enough, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Xinglan disbanded the signal subnets and looked thoughtfully at the starry sky outside, "Those familiar abilities, and this elusive ability, right?" It's a distant term......"

On the surface, it seems that the current intensity is completely changed out of thin air, and it can silently infiltrate the interior of the spacecraft, with powerful data computing power...... These extremely familiar abilities, coupled with the fact that she had never seen each other's essence at all, made Xinglan feel as if she was facing another self...... These are exactly what the semaprons do!

Of course, there are still some differences, such as the fact that Xinglan can't create an interstellar lightning of such a terrifying scale, and the other party can't make the dimensional shield on the surface of the purple disc collapse instantly, but can only burst it strongly, etc., but compared to the common denominator, this difference can be completely ignored!

"You're a similar existence to me!" Ignoring the other party's silence, Xing Lan said affirmatively, "The moment you evacuated the chip circuit on a large scale just now, there was a collision between some of the microstructures and the signal prons blocking the space, although it was short, but I can already finalize my conclusion!" ”

……

"Is Ken finally showing up?" Opening her eyes, Xinglan stood up from the metal chair with the unconscious little mystery Xin in her arms, yawned lazily in the main control room, which looked a little dim after the data war, and then looked ahead faintly.

Outside the wide portholes, the purplish-red glow of stars shining through nebulae shines through the gaps in the glass and spores, casting dancing circles of light on the floor and walls.

In the open space between the seat and the glass, a cloud of colored light was gradually deforming, slowly becoming clearer, and it was already possible to see the approximate human shape, and the data from the signal told Xinglan that this was a stereoscopic projection similar to the small light ball she had used, but it was much more complicated.

The gradually clear figure proved a fact to Xinglan: Yuchen's computing ability was really much stronger than her.

"The same kind? Do you think so? The crisp voice made Xinglan tremble, this was not the kind of text message-style language communication in the circuit before, but the message that was really sent out with sound waves in the room!

And this voice ......

"You...... What are you doing? After being shocked, Xing Lan puffed out her face angrily and stretched out her hand to point at the figure in front of her that had become completely clear, "Why! It's the exact same body I'm using now? ”

"I'm sorry, but it's too complicated to build an image temporarily, so I'll use this way for the time being." The girl who was exactly the same as Xinglan spread out her palms expressionlessly, and said in a crisp but unfluctuating inorganic voice, "The name Yuchen is the dust of the universe, and the onlookers who play soy sauce are just below, so please don't call them the same kind below." ”

The corners of Xinglan's mouth twitched slightly, and she sighed a little speechlessly: "Although I don't know how you understand those language databases, I always feel that there is a subtle deviation in your understanding...... There are words that don't fit the atmosphere at all! ”

Yuchen ignored Xinglan's complaints, but looked around, walked to the porthole, stretched out the projection hand through the transparent glass without hindrance, stroking the white spores that were still hanging on the outside of the spaceship, and his deep eyes seemed to see through a long time: "This is the source spores?" Odd...... How do you have such a thing? Is this the reason why the Aerial Disc is chasing you? ”

"Do you know any of these?" Xinglan looked curiously at this fellow who seemed to know a lot of things, "It will be very troublesome if you want to explain the specific situation in detail...... Well, wait a minute. ”

After saying that, Xing Lan decisively sorted out the memory bank, extracted all the videos from seeing the blue waning moon to the purple disc disappearing in the spatial energy leakage during this trip, and then sent a copy to Yuchen.

“…… I see, no wonder you have conflicts. After quickly skimming through the data, Yuchen's entire projection floated out of the porthole, holding a trace of white spores in his hand and looking at them carefully, "Actually, you're wrong, the reason why they sent a towing disc across space to chase you was not because you accidentally destroyed that two-dimensional surface, but because your spaceship took away some of the spores of the source spores." ”

"How important is this spores? Wait a minute...... How can you really come into contact with you! Xinglan reacted suddenly, staring at Yu Chen's palm in shock, "Isn't that a holographic projection?" Why can you actually touch objects? ”

Yu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was very similar to Xing Lan: "At the moment of contact, you can achieve the same degree as a real electron repulsion reaction by simulating electromagnetic force, you can't do this." ”

“…… It's really a ruthless and straightforward statement. Xinglan sighed a little dejectedly, "Then can you please explain what this source spor is?" Why is it so important? ”

“…… Well, this information can tell you. After a slight pause, Yuchen nodded lightly, reaching out to support the white spore filament as light as gas, "Source spores, origin spores, it is not a substance composed of atoms in an ordinary state, but a macroscopic manifestation of a quantum superposition state. ”

"You mean to say...... The reason why it doesn't have a microstructure is because of the probability that its cloud won't collapse in the microcosm? Can only the macroscopic world, which cannot be observed, barely collapse? Xinglan looked at the seemingly inconspicuous spores in surprise, "A macroscopic quantum superposition that can partially resist the observer effect?" What level of technology can make such a terrifying thing! ”

"The source spores have no fixed microscopic composition, they are endless quantum superpositions stacked in layers, storing unstable matter with nearly infinite information." Yuchen continued, "It should not be the creation of any civilization, but a natural product that naturally wanders in the universe, although the history of existence is not verifiable, but it has surpassed any known civilization, and its alias is...... The seed of almighty life. ”

"The Seed of Almighty Life?" Xinglan muttered and repeated, feeling as if she had learned some great secret.

"Where does life come from?" Yuchen looked at Xinglan through the porthole, but her words came into the room clearly, "Originated from an accidental chemical reaction on a primordial planet? Meteorites that originated in the universe to carry life matter? Artificially made originating in a more advanced civilization? In fact, there are all three, but the probability of naturally occurring life is actually very, very low, and it is almost impossible to have a species that can mutate and evolve steadily, and the more serious problem is that naturally occurring life is soulless, and they are at most pure instinctive beasts, not even ordinary carnivores. ”

“…… Soul? Xinglan was a little confused, "How can this kind of thing really exist?" ”

"Just because you don't understand doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Yuchen said, "The soul is not a religious thing in the usual sense, nor is it something like magic, but a quantum object that symbolizes the variable consciousness of life itself, it is shadowless, formless and elusive, and may even be something that can never be truly detected." Souls help living beings to think abstractly, and there is no difference between a soulless creature and a complex machine, so one thing is certain, what has a soul is not necessarily an intelligent being, and what is not a soulless is certainly not an intelligent being. ”

"The question goes back to the origin of life just now, what kind of creature has a soul? There may be organisms produced by the living matter brought by meteorites, and there may also be organisms modified by cells in advanced civilizations, but what is the ultimate origin of all this? ”

Xinglan bit her lip, already aware of the answer: "The creatures that originally had souls and were able to think abstractly came from ...... Source spores? ”
