Chapter 606: Chimera
Zhao Mai did not hesitate to choose the passage permit to go to the branch of the Alda World Ring Alliance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In this way, you can pay ten gold coins to go to the alliance branch, which can be regarded as going to the world of Alda. Alda's creator god, Iluvita, shut down the Origin World, preventing him from playing with his friends. Zhao Mai estimated that the only thing that could be reached through the alliance branch could only be a branch world or a parallel world, and it was impossible to go to the origin world.
It's also good that Zhao Mai just wants to know how much correlation there is between the origin and the branch world.
So, Zhao Mai made a plan for the next step, but he had to wait until the current step of the plan was completed. The Z-bug ship is stuck in a bottleneck, not because of a lack of nutrients, materials, or information about the unique genome, but because of a lack of brains.
"I think it's completely laughing at me, who believes that I don't have a brain after working for a long time?" Zhao Mai sat on the bow of the spaceship, putting his legs on the deck and dangling. The Z worm, which was the first to split into a construction base, floated on the surface of the water, and made a complete report to Zhao Mai about the current situation through telepathy.
In order to better control the ship, the ghost removed the entire brain of the spaceship creatures, leaving only a few neural interfaces. Most of the work is managed by the on-board computer, which feeds the pilot into a neural network during flight. Zhao Mai was able to restore most of the spaceships, but what he didn't have when he took over, he couldn't conjure them out of thin air.
Just as the nerves of the human body need to manage cardiopulmonary activity, regulate endocrine, and allow the intestines to circatilise and circulate nutrients, so do ghost spaceships. With the efforts of Z worms, eating, growing, and excreting can finally be done, but this is far from enough.
"One way is to find a way to make a brain out of the ship, and the other way is to plug in an existing brain, like mine. I don't dare to the former, I don't want the latter. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Are you still worried that one day the Z worm will develop independent thoughts, not listen to you, and then get into trouble?"
"yes. A lot of movies and novels are played out like this. Horrible armies of insect swarms, from planet to planet, kill, multiply, evolve, and replace, like terrible parasites. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua: "Don't forget that after the cells of the Z worm have evolved, the energy utilization efficiency is higher than that of the ghost spaceship, and their ability to adapt and evolve is extremely outstanding, I am worried that they will have a bad impact on other creatures." ”
"Can it be compared to a ghost or a Naekoth? one more, no more, no less, for the whole universe. Xiaohua smiled and asked, "Besides, how smart can Z worm's brain be?" If it can become smarter, won't you also become smarter, what are you afraid of?"
"In other words, I decided on the upper limit of the intelligence of the Z worm?" Zhao Mai thought about it, even if the Z worm got into trouble, wouldn't it be possible to clean it up?
However, Zhao Mai did not decide immediately, but carefully thought about Xiaohua's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Compared to the entire multiverse, the Z worm is just a small thing, not even a ghost, how many waves can it cause? Besides, isn't there the multiple insurance of the Transcendent and the Ring Alliance! No matter how the Z worm changes, as long as you pay attention to and record their status, check the Z worm every time you introspect, and criticize and educate it more, what can go wrong?
Moreover, Zhao Mai himself is not a good brain, can he suddenly create a super intelligent brain? That kind of idea is too arrogant! So Zhao Mai nodded, accepted Xiaohua's suggestion and made up his mind: "I have decided to allow Z worms to make brain-like structures." For the time being, it is limited to ships, manufacturing bases, and behemoths over ten meters in size. For the time being, it is enough for others to maintain their thinking ability at the level of nerve knots, after all, there is still a telepathic communication network. ”
It's very difficult to create something like a brain out of thin air, but it's much better to build on what you already have. Z worms have collected genetic information from countless beasts, and since they can make organs with special purposes, they also have brains. Zhao Mai thought about it for a long time and decided to use the hydra's nervous system and brain as the basis to fuse it into the spaceship.
From two-headed snakes to hydras, hydra creatures have one thing in common: the head isn't that important. On the one hand, it can regenerate after cutting off the head, and on the other hand, even if there is only one brain, it will not affect its control of the body, and multiple brains will not conflict with each other. This mechanic, which can be cooperative, controlled, and rotated, is too suitable for super-giant ship creatures.
All living things need to sleep to allow their brains to get enough rest. Judging from the structure of the spaceship's creature's head, Zhao Mai must have time to fall asleep completely unless it can work in turns like a dolphin. This is understandable for a living being, but unacceptable for a spaceship. Is it possible that the whole ship has to stop to sleep and set off when it has had enough sleep? Isn't it even more restrictive when it comes to traveling? Probably this is one of the reasons why the ghost completely replaces the brains of the spaceship creatures!
Zhao Mai also has the advantage of using the brain structure of the hydra, that is, it disperses the intelligence, and the difficulty of manufacturing is much smaller. One is not enough for two, and the accumulation of quantity is much easier to achieve than to suddenly raise the manufacturing standard. After Zhao Mai gave the order, the Z worm began to execute the order and modify the body structure of the spaceship creature again. Every time a function is added, it is a mutation, and for the original spaceship creatures, the nervous system of the hydra is essentially similar to that of cancerous tissue, and it is a painstaking process to fuse and become a beneficial symbiosis.
"It's like doing a spinal cord replacement and a brain transplant at the same time, and even the energy of the spaceship creatures can't keep up. Zhao Mai quickly identified the bottleneck in the whole process. Spaceship creatures need to eat in order to power the growth of new organs. When large-scale change is required, the process of trying it means a lot of falling and getting back up, which is very costly. With the mouth of the spaceship creature, it can't afford to feed at all.
Zhao Mai thought about it, took out some blue crystal fragments, and let the Z worm throw them to the spaceship creatures.
The effect was immediate, and the speed of the whole project was greatly improved. The faster a cell changes, the faster it adapts. After iterations, Hydra's brain finally grew into the nervous system of the spaceship creatures. At the same time, the work of integrating other magical beasts and animal abilities is also underway, and the entire ship is constantly changing like a ball of cement. The bloodline power of different sources is mixed in the same individual, and the minimum requirement is to be able to manifest ability, and then it must be coordinated with each other. Zhao Mai was very glad that he had been a beast god for a while, because there was a creature that could always perfectly reflect the state of multiple creatures after mixing.
That was the Chimera, the creature that Zhao Mai had killed in his first crossing operation. The life of Chimera opened the first step of Zhao Mai, and now, the bloodline of Chimera has opened the second step of Zhao Mai.
