Chapter 50: Carnivores

Zhang Lu returned to the real earth through the fourth-generation pocket earth world again, it was January 14, 2016, and it had been nearly a day since the deity traveled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He wanted to turn back a long time ago, but he was stumped by all kinds of mundane things, and he couldn't help but think: Who said that the gods came freely?

Children love games and toys, adults crave money and power, and the elderly worry about their health and longevity...... Human beings of different ages and states have different afflictions, and even if they change their life form, they only change the type of afflictions, and it is impossible to completely cut them off. This is the meaning of life, as long as you live, many things cannot be escaped.

At first, because of the fall of Tangyang Ji, Zhang Lu watched the creation of a new star in horror, and then the Xuanqi Realm held a small meeting, and the remnants of the earth held a secret meeting...... Originally, the loss of the combat department was not much to do with the rear education department, the problem was that the number of members of the "Dragon Slayer Clan" was limited, and it was difficult to find a replacement in time after losing one.

Zhang Lu raised his hand at the meeting and said that I am willing to run to the front line to try it - although he has a lot of things to do, he is not willing to stay in the rear for a long time out of curiosity (not hatred) for the dragons, and more importantly the curiosity of the hidden connection between the dragons and the earthlings. But his self-recommendation was ignored by the immortals, so Suo Tai shook his head and said, "Zhang Lu, your ascension to immortality is still shallow, and it is not appropriate to wade into a dangerous situation." ”

Zhang Luxin said that I flew up with Tang Ying, why can she stand up to the front line, but I have to nest in the rear? But after all, he can only pout his lips and slander a few words, and he can't refute Suo Tai and them head-on-he is still different from Tang Ying, and he can't be generalized, and the old lady's combat experience must be much richer than his own. Besides, even Tang Ying is only a reserve member of the combat department at present, otherwise she would have taken over Xia Tang Yang Ji's position long ago, where would she use temporary secondment from other departments?

The result of the meeting was to make Rhodes ready to fly to the front line at any time to help. This guy Rhodes was also lazy, and took the opportunity to propose: You should divide the nether realm I am responsible for, in case I go to fight with the dragon clan and do not refrain from being separated, my colleagues must temporarily take over my work.

Zhang Lu naturally got a share of it - for his work efficiency during this time, the colleagues in the Xuanqi Realm gave him a lot of evaluation, and generally believed that he could still carry a heavier burden and go further...... For this reason, Zhang Lu spent a lot of time to familiarize himself with and study the basic conditions of the six three-dimensional worlds, and finally took time out to go to the real earth.

The purpose of his trip is to search for the passage through which the main body travels, find the location and feed back to Sanwu, so that he can try to find the core of the system that runs the pocket world. When he appeared on the streets of Tianjin again, the body had already traveled for nearly a day, and it had long ceased to exist in this world, Zhang Lu didn't have to buy a ticket to take the subway this time, he hid his body directly, walked against the wind, and soon went to Tianjin to Beijing, and appeared near the Lama Temple.

HE DIDN'T RUSH TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS, BUT TURNED HOME, TURNED ON THE COMPUTER, STARTED THE WINDOWS SYSTEM, AND CLICKED ON THE BROWSER. The search term typed in was the word "Yuan Song", and the first thing that popped up was the Northern Wei clan and Yuan Cheng's brother - "It's not this." "Then I found a fictional costume movie character, and it was definitely not either.

Pull it all the way down, and finally find a person, Zhang Lu clicked on it and took a look, the amount of information was not large, but-"Hahahaha, I'll just say, it must be this person!" He couldn't help but slap his hand on the computer desk and laughed. Then a voice sounded behind him: "What's so funny?"

Zhang Lu couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that San Wu was still dressed as the ninth Doctor of Who, with his hands in his pockets, standing behind him, his body leaning forward slightly, his eyes staring at the screen.

"Surprise me!" Zhang Lu feigned anger, "You entered someone else's house, let alone knock on the door, you didn't even make a sound of footsteps, are you a thief?!"

Sanwu pouted: "How did I know you were here, I only found out when I came in." Then he arched Zhang Lu with his shoulder: "Let me let let me, let me check something." ”

Zhang Lu got up from his chair angrily: "Why are you here, just to use my computer?

"Don't forget that we've lived here together for a year," San Wu sat down with a smile, "I'm familiar with your keyboard, mouse, and input method, and I'm sure I'm not familiar with it—you know, my body is still in this life, and I can't go back to my own home, so I have to come to you......"

As you speak, you expertly type in some search terms and start browsing through them at a glance.

Zhang Lu crossed his hands next to him and stared at the screen: "What is it......?" Don't go over the wall with me to see anything discordant, I still want to keep this house and this computer for a while......"

"Stop!" San Wu glanced at the screen without raising his head, "How can I possibly focus on any political issues......? Still use over the wall?" then pointed to a line of foreign text on the screen: "I found it, this is a relatively avant-garde theory in the theoretical physics community, and it may be able to explain some ...... of the super-three-dimensional world." Certain phenomena. ”

Zhang Lu stared at the lines of text for a long time: "What theory? I didn't understand ......."

"I'm just going to discuss with you," San Wu leaned back, tiptoed, and turned the chair around, "Where do we start? Hmm, in the super-three-dimensional world, immortals tend to live in seclusion and have few conflicts, and theoretically speaking, humans and dragons do not have any real necessity for life and death in terms of interests, so some immortals believe that as long as they find a way to communicate, immortals and dragons can coexist peacefully......

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Lu: "Why is this happening?"

Zhang Lu took two steps back and slumped on the sofa: "I don't really understand...... Is it because the land is vast and sparsely populated?"

"Generally speaking, this is indeed the case," Sanwu nodded, "because the universe is infinite, and the number of intelligent life is very small, so there will be no competition for resources, and there is no need for conflict." However, looking at human history, the reason why strife and war arise and exist is of course the problem of insufficient resources, but more importantly, the uneven distribution of resources. ”

Zhang Lu nodded.

Sanwu continued to elaborate: "The living environment of nomadic people and farming people is fundamentally different, when Han Gaozu was besieged in Pingcheng, some people advised Mao Dun Shan Yu to say: 'Now you have Han land, and Shan Yu will not be able to live in the end. The grasslands are not not vast enough, and the Hu people are not so numerous that they occupy all the pastures, but the nomads still invade the Han land twice in three days, why? It is because the material wealth created by traditional animal husbandry is too small, and when encountering natural and man-made disasters -- such as the so-called white plague -- they are forced to expand abroad, wage wars, and plunder. Agricultural peoples generally live better than nomads, so they don't easily think about going out of the country. ”

Zhang Lu said that this is the truth, but what exactly do you want to say?

Sanwu continued in a hurry: "In the ancient world, the rich became rich, and the poor became poor. And in modern society, why do the Yankees always want to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East and make a fuss? It is because of oil, in order to seize those oil resources that they may not be able to swallow all. No resource can really be evenly distributed, and there is always some raw material or some kind of place that is the source of contention - but in the sky, why is this not happening?

"In many immortal cultivation texts, even immortals inevitably fight with each other, in order to grab some special resources......

Zhang Lu frowned: "I didn't have long been an immortal, but I really haven't heard of any special resources that immortals want to get...... But theoretically speaking, if there really is such a resource, even if the number of immortals is small, the resources that can be squeezed around are endless, and it is impossible to really live in peace and not have disputes......

Sanwu applauded: "That's right, the vast land and sparse population are not a reason not to fight, only no one can obtain more resources than others, even if they are not used for the time being but can be accumulated and preserved, that is the real guarantee of peace." ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and pointed to the screen: "What resources do immortals need in order to maintain their lives and continue to cultivate? Those are the two major elements that make up a life form like ours—information and energy. In the traditional physics world, information is not regarded as matter, and energy is related to the distribution and change of matter in time and space. But this avant-garde theory holds that both information and energy come equally from the movement of a vacuum......"

"The movement of a vacuum?"

"We know that the so-called cosmic vacuum is not really empty, but full of consciousness and energy. But where does consciousness come from? Is it the prototype of a vacuum? Where does energy come from? Since it is a vacuum, and there is no matter, how can energy be generated out of thin air? No immortal has ever considered these questions, right?"

Zhang Lu nodded: "Immortals can obtain consciousness and energy from the void to maintain their own existence, and further cultivate to improve their realm. This kind of absorption is inexplicable by geophysics, because it is far and wide, and I feel that I am at least the whole quadrant as the object of acquisition, and there is no position, resource point that must be firmly occupied......"

"Even between the quadrants, the total amount of resources cannot be exactly the same," Sanwu continued, "but because the number is too large to compare, there are no immortals who deliberately want to occupy a certain quadrant - this is the reason why there is no fighting." Let's go back and talk about it, based on this avant-garde theory on Earth, plus my own experience, I guess that the universe can be compared to an ocean, almost like a flood of water molecules, evenly scattered with some kind of invisible, unknowable existence. This existence is the source of consciousness and energy, because it produces waves and bubbles -- you can see the gist of the saying: 'The vacuum is like the ocean, the light waves in the vacuum are like the waves formed by the movement of water in the ocean, and the so-called elementary particles in the vacuum are like bubble......s in the ocean.'"

Zhang Lu bared his teeth: "It's so profound...... But does this have any guiding significance for our behavior? Don't fall into the abyss of studying pure physics, we still have a lot to do!"

San Wu smiled: "In the void, or on any planet, the total amount of waves and bubbles that the immortals can touch is the same, so there is no need to have any disputes, and there is no need to have any grabbing. However, the immortals, who are unique intelligent beings, are themselves a collection of waves and bubbles. When the immortals fall, these condensed waves and bubbles will quickly disperse and return to the universe. Have you figured out that there is a special being that can directly absorb these divergent waves and bubbles......"

Zhang Luyi frowned: "You mean you and me?"

San Wu nodded: "We have tried, I can't absorb information and energy from you, and you can't absorb mine, is that because there is a certain mechanism between the same kind that cannot plunder each other? However, the nutrients that plants transform through photosynthesis are plundered by herbivores, and the higher nutrients that herbivores transform through plant feeding are plundered by carnivores......"

Zhang Lu couldn't help but shudder slightly: "Hearing you say that, we occupy a higher level of food chain than the immortals......

"Why can't it?" San Wuyi rolled his eyes, "That's why the cow hopes to knock the lion to the ground, and there will never be a similar species that can devour itself and thus plunder energy." If they are really capable, they will completely wipe out the carnivores, and if they can do so, they will seal the carnivores!"

Zhang Lu raised his head and thought for a while: "This is a world where plant resources are evenly distributed, and there are some herbivores living in it, walking slowly in the green ocean, devouring plants to obtain raw materials for survival and evolution, boring but peaceful. But in the herbivorous fauna, there are actually several carnivores hidden...... No, omnivores, they have fangs and claws that can bite, and they also have the natural ability to digest animal protein, if they can devour their own kind...... In fact, it can't be regarded as the same kind, if you can devour those herbivores, it is possible to grow bigger and evolve faster. It's a pity that they don't dare to take the initiative to attack herbivores to verify their special physique...... I'm afraid that as soon as I show my claws, I will be trampled into a meatloaf by a large herd of bison......"

Sanwu sighed: "However, they are on the verge of instinctive awakening after all, and in a special situation, they have inadvertently tasted the blood and flesh of dead herbivores, and they think it is quite delicious......"

"I'm a little scared," Zhang Lu sighed, "I'd rather become a scavenger than a carnivore......
