0365 Strange Spirits and Evolutionary Brood, Reproductive Isolation
In September 2043, Komei, from deep space orbit, the crystal ribbon around the planet has a strange shape, and the rhythm of the flickering seems to change. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 If you look at it with the naked eye, it may be attributed to the influence of cloud currents, but if you look at the spectral field of view, you can see that it is indeed different from before.
The World Tree branch of Komei has undergone the transformation of the Star Alliance, and for the Qimu people, this transformation is subversive, and the World Tree branch has changed from the "hatching terminal" of the Qimu people to the "evolutionary brood".
After the transformation, the Komei World Tree Branch no longer has the function of receiving new Qimu people, but allows Qimu people who are willing to accept evolution to choose their gender here and become a new life with a complete soul.
The reason why the Star Alliance made such a transformation of the World Tree branch was that Harappa hoped that after the Ancestral Mother Tree was corrupted, there would be a group of Qimu people who could escape the fate of being impregnated by the corrupted mother tree and find a new future for the Qimu people.
Although the Star Alliance can resist the power of the fire demon through the spirit net shield and even the soul insect tide, if the Ancestral Mother Tree is corrupted, the consciousness foundation of the Qimu people will also deteriorate, and the spirit net shield will not play any role. Gigi's transformation surgery gave him another option, and after evolving, the Qimu people not only had a gender, but also a complete soul, and were no longer in solidarity with the mother tree.
The evolution of Jizanpa into Jiji was completed by several cores of the Star Alliance, and if more Qimu people want to complete the evolution, they can't rely on this kind of laboratory means. It just so happens that the Star Federation is also researching how to cut off the connection between the branch of the Komei World Tree and the Archaenum Tree, and at the same time allow the Qimu people to rely on this branch to continue to reproduce, and turn the World Tree branch into an evolutionary brood.
It is not difficult to complete such a transformation, the experiments on Jiji and many previous samples have allowed the Star Alliance to have a complete set of processes, all that is missing is the careful monitoring of the evolution process on the side of the Star Alliance, and the person who has enough soul power on the side of the Qimu people to touch the trigger finely.
The solution that Xing thought of was to transform the branch of the World Tree into a superintelligence, but the problem was that there was no way for Qianyan to create superintelligence now, and the existing superintelligence had their own tasks, including Jiji, who was scheduled to simulate the superintelligence.
Thinking of Gigi, her super-intelligent transformation went well, and the research team felt that it was better to simply create another "Gigi", and Harappa recommended one of his subordinates, Daispa. This Pa has a lot of connections with the periscope team, when Wu Kang and the others first went to Luo Xing to rescue the Kashepa mothership that was besieged by the Flame Demon Luo Xing, the Qimu wizard on the ship who was protected by Viola was Dai Spa.
Despite being told by the research team that he/she would merge with the World Tree branch and that his or her soul would be transformed, Despa did not back down and instead took it as a privilege. Thinking about it, if all goes well, Despa will become the evolutionary mother of all the Qimu people in the future, even if he can never leave this World Tree branch, this life will be worth it.
So at the same time as Gigi was carrying out the super-intelligence simulation transformation, the evolution and transformation of Despa also began.
The first step is to make Despa become Desper, and to simulate superintelligence and even become a mother-in-law, feminization is inevitable.
The second step is to simulate superintelligence, and like Gigi, this step is to integrate the second-class superintelligence into the "soul" of the Qimu people, so that the two can be fused. As a result, the Qimu people can also have a certain dimensional power while gaining strong thinking ability.
Inferior superintelligence is a unique existence in the Star Alliance, which is created by Qianyan "fishing" the fragments of the low-dimensional universe. These low-dimensional cosmic fragments do not possess complete information and matter, and cannot generate high-dimensional rationality like hundreds of billions, nor can they operate a mind cloud and transform into a human form like superintelligence. However, the residual dimensional information allows them to have a trace of high-dimensional attributes, so that they have the basic interface of high-dimensional space-time and weak dimensional power.
Starlink relies on second-class superintelligence, combined with human consciousness activity, plus the computing power of the super light brain, to simulate superintelligence to a certain extent, and obtains a more flexible dimensional leap ability. Research into the use of such super-intelligent intelligence to make more powerful warships and weapons has also been underway, but there has not been much progress because the research on superintelligence is more difficult and obscure than the study of consciousness activity.
In the transformation of the World Tree branches, second-class superintelligence finally has a place to use. Let the second-class superintelligence fit with the evolved Qimu people's consciousness, so that the spirit network and the tree network are fused together.
To put it simply, this transformation is a strange wood replica of Cornworth's addition of a tree network virtual machine in the autologous possession. The difference is that on the human side, whether it is a spirit net or a tree net, it is subordinate to the autonomous consciousness. On the Qimu people's side, both the spirit net and the tree net are far stronger than the individual consciousness, and the individual consciousness can only seek a balance between the two.
Gigi's super-intelligent simulation is a re-simulation of the high-dimensional space-time will with Cornworth, and at the same time has the sensing and mastery of the tree network. Dais, on the other hand, is "bound" to the World Tree branch, turning the World Tree branch into an evolutionary brood.
The process and principle of "binding" is actually similar to Danto Bampa corrupting the Luo Star World Tree branch. The difference is that Danto Bampa is trying to upload the Chaos Factor, which is the chaotic thought string contained in the power of the Fire Demon, to the Ancestral Mother Tree. However, Dais's consciousness is connected to the World Tree branch, but it separates the World Tree branch from the family World Tree. In other words, she also acts as a firewall.
After severing the branch's connection to the World Tree, the branch does not wither immediately, the function of the World Tree and the branch comes from the Archaeoptera's tree, but the power comes from itself. The power of the soul that was "refined" at the time of initial cultivation was transmitted to the Mother Tree, and the energy was left to the World Tree and branches, enough to sustain countless radiances. If the energy is atrophied, the "Radiant Fire" used as fuel by the Nian Maiqimu people is also used to replenish energy.
Daisy has lived forever in the nest of evolution, acting as a guide for the Qimu people who are willing to evolve. The Qimu people can choose their own gender, and then, with the help of Dais, follow the instructions to automatically trigger the switch in the evolution program. The latter series of care needs are also handled by Des's second-class superintelligence.
In the crystal cavern deep in the earth's surface, Dais's body is hidden in a tightly guarded hermetium, connected to her body by multiple pipelines, providing nutrients and maintaining a basic metabolism.
Lillo, the head of the research group, looked at the sleeping Daisy and let out a sigh of sympathy. The current Dess is no longer the original Dess, let alone the original Desper, and is not even a living person.
The fusion of secondary superintelligence and individual consciousness is by no means as simple as adding an epistemic brain. Inferior superintelligence expands the structure of the original brain and strips away the original individual cognition.
Fortunately, Jiji's side is okay, because it is completely connected to the spirit network, and the part of consciousness that is a node of the tree network will not expand, and the independence of individual consciousness can be maintained. But on Dais's side, because it has to be fused with the branches of the World Tree, these crystals of the branches of the World Tree, that is, the purest strange stones, will gradually become part of consciousness.
As the fusion deepens, Dais's body will no longer be needed, and at that time, Daisy will truly follow up and merge the brood into one.
"Friend, don't be sad, I understand that I am no longer who I used to be, but this gives our race a new hope, and I'm happy."
On the crystal wall, the image of Daisy is everywhere, she said softly.
She continued: "Now that I'm in a hurry to get to work, can I start?" ”
Lillo nodded, everything was ready.
With Daisi, the evolution process of the Qimu people is no longer as cumbersome as the laboratory operation in the past, and it can even be "mass produced". Considering that the physiological variation in the laboratory stage is too drastic and the requirements for "maintenance" are too high, the time is slowed down in the evolutionary brood, and it takes about two to three months to complete all the evolutions.
Harappa set aside hundreds of millions of Qimu people, hoping to make them evolve into a new form, and as the seeds of the Qimu race, only a thousand people carried out the first evolutionary experiments.
In December 2043, this Thousand Qimu people will complete their evolution and become an existence completely different from the traditional Qimu people.
In order to distinguish them from the "original", the research team cheesily named them "Strange Spirits", which originally meant an evolution from the life of the Matt Ball to the Marguing. The higher-ups felt that comparing people to Maguling would create racial discrimination, and renamed them "Komech Wood People". But unexpectedly, the Qimu people felt that the title of "Qiling" was good, and they compared themselves with the "Star Spirit", and they used it themselves, and "Kemeqimuren" became an official and academic term, and ordinary people did not pay attention to it.
In this batch of original spirits, there is a pair of enemies, the former Bassensbeeka Imperial Star Ring Commander Sasimpa, and the former Mayuvai family's scarlet star receiving team wizard Coco Chillid. The two of them have been in charge of the more than 20 million Kimu captives of the receiving team and the Bassenska Star Ring, and as the relationship between the Star Federation and Harappa changes, their relationship with the Star Federation has become closer and closer.
Because of the reversal of each other's status and position, the relationship between these two people has always been very bad, and the Qimu people are human beings after all, even if the soul returns to the ancestral mother tree, there will be grievances and entanglements between each other.
This time, they all decided that becoming a strange spirit was the best choice to deal with the crisis of the Ancestral Mother Tree, so they all became the original evolutionaries. However, after stepping out of the evolutionary groove, they met again, and their contradictions not only escalated, but also deteriorated.
"Sassin, you are so expecting to be like Gigi, who has a full soul, but is going to be a subordinate to someone!?"
Coco Kirid looked at the convex and backward Sasimpa, looking extremely angry, and he was also looking forward to surpassing the other party not only in terms of position, but also in ability after becoming a strange spirit. Unexpectedly, the other party actually chose a female! It represents a weak, obedient, and supportive female! How does this make him compare?
"Chirid, watch your words, the way of the female is to conceive and create, the male is only worthy of manual work, and there is ......"
The other party coldly corrected: "My name is Sasha now!" ”
Killid raised his voice: "Please call me Er Baiwu!" ”
"Two hundred and five! Did you get it? Hurry up and discipline the others! They're all about to make a cover-free assembly! ”
The projection of a human girl appeared in the eyes of the two, with her waist crossed and her face full of unhappiness, which shocked the two who were shooting with their eyes.
Li Xiaoxiao, after the periscope operation is over, she will continue to be responsible for the cooperation with the Qimu people, and teaching the newborn Qiling is her specific job now. But for her, it was a bout and an embarrassment for her to have these strange spirits, which were similar to the human body structure, but had no human ethics or shame.
"And Sashimpa, huh, Sasha? Did you choose a female? I'll you, you won't do it first!? ”
Li Xiaoxiao called Qi Li de first, and the name of two hundred and five was also because she was a little annoyed with Qi Li at the beginning, and deliberately disgusted him, but she didn't expect to get used to it. When I found the changes in Sasimpa again, I couldn't help but get nervous.
"What?"
The two subconsciously asked, looked at each other again, and said in unison: "It's him/her messing with me!" ”
Li Xiaoxiao rubbed her brows and shouted, "Headache! Robot! Dispatch the robots and lock them up one by one! ”
The body of the strange spirit has evolved, but the psychology still needs to be adjusted, which can only be taught step by step by by a pioneer like Chirid and Sasha, and in the end, whether to develop the strange spirit's own culture and ethics, or according to human beings, neither of them is a satisfactory answer, after all, human beings' own ethics and morals are constantly refreshing the lower limit.
For example, Cornworth, he whispered to Lillo: "Will Gigi get pregnant?" ”
Lilo's answer broke through the lower limit: "We have done experiments a long time ago, humans and strange spirits are reproductively isolated, and the same is true of scarlet spirits, and the same is true of strange spirits and scarlet people. ”
Cornworth's face was wonderful, he thought he was very undisciplined, and a mad scientist like Lilo was even more undisciplined.
After thinking about it, he asked unwillingly: "Is it possible to break through this kind of reproductive isolation?" ”
"Cornworth, you're a scientist......"
Lillo smiled rather strangely: "We, the Strange Spirits, and the Scarlet People, are three completely different species. What is a species? That is, there is a phenomenon of reproductive isolation in which hybrids do not live. Even if a zygote can be formed, it cannot be transformed into an embryo, and even if an embryo is formed, it cannot survive, because in the process of hybridization, lethal mutant genes will inevitably be formed, which is the instinct of the species to protect the purity of biological evolution. ”
"But what makes human beings great is that they can transform nature and make it work for themselves."
She winked at Cornworth, "If you're willing to sign the power of attorney, I can help you with the experiment." ”
Cornworth frowned: "This is against the rules, right?" ”
Starlink's experiments on living things, especially humans, are strictly restricted, such as cloning and replicating, and are now strictly regulated. And the research of mixing with the scarlet people and even the strange spirits is even more forbidden.
Lilo said in a chat-like relaxed tone, "You are in a different situation from Gigi, you are about to go on a dangerous mission, and there is a high probability that you will not be able to come back." The desire to leave behind a half-breed offspring will definitely be seriously considered by us, just like the original Brave Resurrection Experiment. ”
"I see", Cornworth solemnized, "No wonder you and your minions have always encouraged Gigi to seduce me, it turns out that they want to use me as a gunman so that you can break through the forbidden area." ”
"Cornworth, who doesn't know your details? Do you still need Gigi to seduce you? Even those otaku who are grass boats, grass machines, grass screws, admire your boundless love. It's not about using you as a gun, it's about getting both. ”
Lillo continued to tempt like a demon, and Cornworth wrinkled his teeth in a tangle of confusion.
After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "I don't think your purpose is just to do a mixed sex experiment, right?" If it's about the leader, I'm afraid to accompany it. ”
"Leader?"
Lilo's eyes began to drift: "How can it have something to do with him?" ”
Cornworth pinched his chin and said, "I remember you once proposed a plan to use the leader's genes to create artificial sperm, which will be combined with the artificial eggs of the 'volunteers' to create a human body to accommodate second-class superintelligence. The 'volunteer' sample is provided by your group, could it be that it is only from one person? ”
"Cornworth ......"
Liluo's eyes became sharp as a knife: "Don't forget that you have to do three comprehensive physical examinations before you leave, so don't worry about which one of the examinations will suddenly become unlifted?" ”
"Ahem, I forgot what I said just now!"
Cornworth coughed and turned back to the topic: "I think this kind of thing should be decided after the leader takes the lead and sets an example for us." ”
"That makes sense," Lillo nodded in agreement.
In the sky above the Scarlet Star, in the center of the base mothership, Xia Ming entered a place similar to a large elevator with Fen and Su.
This is not a large elevator, but a spacious space with a length of forty or fifty meters. Several layers of automatic doors are closed, and the internal display screen displays various data, and a circle of engineers around them grabs up the data, each carrying out monitoring and processing of different projects.
Xia Ming and the three of them were standing in the center of the space, and the "elevator" shook, and the original gravity suddenly disappeared.
Fen and Su hugged one of Xia Ming's arms, screaming in horror, feeling the small softness pressed on the arm, and the strength of the two little girls who wanted to knead themselves with him, Xia Ming smiled bitterly.
What thoughts are turning in the hearts of the two little scarlet queens, he knows very well, although they have been together for a long time and have some feelings, but after all, they still regard them as their juniors, he is not a bulldozer after all. Of course, this has nothing to do with race, hundreds of billions were not even human in the first place......
As soon as the thought turned, the magnetic device on Fen and Su's feet turned on, and he stretched out his arms again, pulling the two of them to the ground, and they were standing firmly, just like him and the engineers around them.
"Don't be naughty", Xia Ming rubbed the necks of the two of them and said gently.
Fen pursed her lips, Su pursed her lips, and continued to hug Xia Ming's arm, glancing at each other without saying a word.
The weightlessness only lasted for a moment, and then gravity returned, and by this time the "elevator" had already left the base mothership, followed the long pipe, and slid towards the scarlet star below. (To be continued.) )
