Chapter 345: Stand Up or Die......
The chain of suspicion crisscrosses, and armed resistance seeks hope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fate is such a wonderful thing, countless coincidences come together to form an inevitability, when everything is settled, then recall the story that happened before, who is right? Who is at fault again?
There is never right or wrong in this world, only life and death.
In a sense, the attempt of crystallized organisms to completely destroy the remains of the original body is considered a failure, and the high temperature heating of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius can theoretically completely destroy most of the original spore primordials, but just like the infinite possibilities claimed by the source spore itself...... There is always a slight chance that this move will not succeed, and it is clear that the crystal creatures have embarked on this rather unfortunate fork in the road. The wreckage of that part of the original body mutated under high temperature and high pressure, forming neutron star matter that can be stable in a conventional environment in an unknown way, and can even interfere with the gravitational field to a certain extent, that is, the life form called the central brain.
This dense lifeform has some similarities with the flow crystal, but it is not identical. First of all, the central brain is not almost invisible, as it is like a flow crystal, and they emit powerful radiation at all times, and the energy of this radiation is fully enough to meet the lethal standards of most living things. The most bizarre thing is that the strength of gravity should only be related to the total amount of mass, but it seems that the central brain can manipulate the changes in the gravitational field to some extent...... In the area around it, there will be a violently distorted space, increasing its intensity at the expense of reducing the area of influence, and if it is close enough, it will act like a real neutron star, so that nearby matter is attracted to the surface and squeezed into the same neutron star material. The central brain is also a kind of life, so this is actually a process of eating, ingesting substances from the outside world through gravitational tearing, but once they start to move away, the intensity of this gravity will shrink exponentially and rapidly, and the scope of influence is actually not much.
It looked like a revenge, and the Primordial had done the same thing to the scientists who had killed it, even the crystalline creatures had thought so at first. At that time, they were already a space civilization that could sail in the star system, so this intensity of radiation only killed a large number of lives by surprise, but it could not prevent the crystal creatures specially equipped with anti-radiation devices from approaching, and they were able to block most of the radiation through a ring of force field generators around their bodies, as for the neutrons and other rays that could not be deflected, they were actually very harmful to their bodies.
However, the central brain did not attack the personnel who later tried to approach it, and it left it to study it as if it were completely unconscious...... Of course, later discoveries proved that the central brain is not unconscious, it is just not self-conscious, and every Tianyuan person has an inseparable bond with the central brain in the depths of his thinking, which seems to be a certain connection inherited from the original body, and the central brain is a collection of part of the subconscious of each Tianyuan person, similar to the subconscious collection of all human beings in mythology, except that it does not care about its own situation, and will not even make any resistance.
The central brain is indeed the extreme product of the abnormal mutation of the body remains that still remain partially alive under high temperature and pressure, but it is not a rebirth of the original body. The original body is dead, and its mind is completely fragmented by the division of countless parts, and as for the soul, this is not a question that most civilizations can probe, but at least one thing is certain, whether it is atoms or radio waves, they are all matter in nature, and the soul must rely on matter to show signs of activity...... At least I had never heard of a creature in this universe capable of moving in pure soul form, not even the source spores had ever created such an existence.
There may be, but it's not a level that can be accessed.
The appearance of the central brain initially brought panic to the crystal creatures, and for a while they even began to spread rumors that the karmic wheel should not be happy, but soon, when they got closer to the thinking pattern of the central brain, they found that this was not a disaster at all, and the original body did not return to the world as a ghost. The central brain is the common ideological core of many races of the Tianyuan people, and its position is always consistent with the position of the entire race in a sense, and the Tianyuan people at that time did not know much about the original body, they were as simple and kind as the original body, and the central brain was naturally willing to help the crystal creatures, and they could even use it as a computer.
This is a form of logic that has never been seen before, due to the existence of morphological problems, it is impossible to directly connect with the central brain with cables, any matter once close to its surface will be squeezed into the same neutron star matter by a huge gravitational force, all communication can only be carried out by wireless means, and crystal creatures soon discovered that the central brain operates so efficiently that it far exceeds any quantum computer they can build.
They can't explain how this process works, and they can't dissect the central brain like a protoplasm, so what can you do about dissecting a neutron star? Even if it were dropped directly into the center of a nuclear explosion, it would not be possible to damage this incomparably hard neutron structure. As for high-intensity laser installations...... Crystalline creatures also couldn't make the kind of device that could kill the central brain, and they were also scared, what if the central brain had a second mutation?
The technological level of crystal creatures is not low, it is not high, they are definitely not to the extent of experimenting with source spores at will like the Ascender civilization, and silicon-based creatures also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also have a desire to survive, so they will also feel afraid.
The crystal creatures ended up making a crazy decision...... Instead of trying to destroy the existing central brain, they have to simulate the previous process to create more central brains for their own use. By this time, most of the members had already fallen into the "creator frenzy" described in a researcher's diary as a result of the rapid progress in the source spores, and their desire to modify new species and use them as they pleased, culminating in the first successful construction of a new population out of thin air...... The Tianyuan people called the "Sight Therapists" are the first race that did not evolve from the original body, but were successfully created by scientific researchers according to their own ideas and specifically used for treatment.
However, things often don't go so smoothly, and when the remaining wreckage of the original body is almost exhausted, they only create three central brains, and many more debris are completely reduced to ashes in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. The three central brains seem to be able to use the gravitational field to move according to their own ideas, and the last two have not caused any damage because they have been prepared, but their forward movements cannot be guided by crystal creatures...... Thankfully, the central brains weren't moving too fast, and they were able to completely confine the three central brains in the storm caused by the rapid compression of the atmosphere.
Everything seemed to be going well, and the number of Abyssal people quickly increased to tens of thousands, but probably due to the difference in body structure, the crystal creatures that completely occupied the surface of the entire planet were only a few million in total, which was too big a gap with the billions of many civilizations at every turn. The ratio of hundreds to one was enough to arouse the vigilance of the crystal creatures again, and they began to worry about the growing number of Abyssal people, but at that time, the Abyss people were not as lonely and helpless as the original body, because of the more and more widespread distribution in the crystal creature society, even the leader of the crystal creature itself could not say that it was extinct and extinct, and even he had a special Abyss person by his side as an assistant in all aspects...... These assistants, who have specific physical structure and are not low in intelligence, are much more reliable than simple robots.
At that time, crystal creatures still had a huge mechanical force at their disposal, and their body structures could even be directly connected to the computer's electrical signals, and the Abyss people could only do this if they were such extreme beings as star-chasing...... The trade-off is that it is barely able to move independently. After a long period of secret discussion and decision-making, the top management of the crystal creatures finally made a final decision: it would be unwise to confront them head-on, and they decided to poison the cultivation base where the newborns were created, and quietly wipe out all the Abyssal children.
The task is carried out by a newly developed group of nanomachines that are highly capable of autonomous action and can also be dispersed to the point where they are indistinguishable to the naked eye, and their name is ...... Microphage.
However, the leader of the crystal creatures underestimated the most special group of the Abyssal people, that is, the central brain. The central brain will not consider the gains and losses from its own point of view, but they will stand from the perspective of the group, and this exterminating approach has undoubtedly stepped on their minefield. Unbeknownst to all the ordinary people, an invisible game had unfolded rapidly, and at the same time that the microphages began to eat away at the cultivation base, all the Tianyuan people received information from the central brain in the depths of their consciousness, and then, the vast majority of the Tianyuan people were truly angry.
To start a war? Yes, you just come at us, and it's nothing to attack the children silently!
Almost all creatures with a finite lifespan have two fundamental instincts, the first is the desire to survive, that is, the persistence of not wanting to die, and the second is the love and protection of future generations, and in some cases the latter will occupy a much higher status than the former.
Since its birth, the first event that can be called a war in the true sense of the word broke out in this way, and the cultivation base was still partially destroyed, but due to the armed resistance of some Tianyuan people, they successfully used the micromechanical interception force field created by the crystal creatures themselves to save some of their offspring, and those Tianyuan children who did not have time to be protected were no longer poisoned...... It was discovered that the high-level crystalline organisms that were planned to be exposed quickly modified the instructions, and many of the young children lying in the cultivation device were directly disintegrated by the microphage.
The Abyssal people could not be a match for the mechanical army that the crystal creatures had at the time, and the central brain was well aware of this, and they were stealing their information in a way that the crystal creatures could not recognize, and eventually, a part of the Abyssal people were sent out to the only place where they could be victorious. In the depths of that incomparably deep underground ocean, there are a large number of nodes, which are closely connected to the Abyss Star, and the only way to close the gap between the two sides in a short period of time is to find this weapon, a forbidden weapon that can destroy the countless mechanical armies of crystal creatures. It wasn't made by crystalline creatures independently, but they were barely able to control it by adding a guidance device to the ready-made framework, something left over from the Ascendant civilization!
"We built this horrible thing on the basis of that miraculous ruin, I don't understand why we made it, I feel like it should never have been activated. This device is still very imperfect, the guidance device cannot fully control those things inside the planet, if it can be further improved, and this device can be transformed into the ideal form, then it will be an extremely terrifying weapon. ”
"If I had a name, I would call it ...... Astromagnetic circuit. ”
