Chapter 67: Consciousness and Energy
One conscious energy may need another consciousness to generate.
Lynn, for now, thinks so.
These 'brain spirits' may be creatures born in a consciousness and then living independently......
And the cubs of the Void People may be the key to generating them.
As long as you have a brain and a spike, you should be able to generate a 'brain spirit'.
This should also be their main purpose in capturing the pups, although the brain spirits can survive on their own, they should be born from a certain brain, like Susumi.
Here's what happened to Lynn, Lin thought: they grabbed the young of the Void and then stabbed a spike into the young child's brain, and this spike slowly sucked something from the young child's brain as it grew with the young child's brain.
And this kind of thing will grow into a brain.
What exactly are they absorbing? Maybe we can call it 'consciousness', just as plants grow to absorb nutrients from the ground, and in the normal process of this thorn, they also absorb the consciousness in the brains of the young people.
This 'consciousness' is not the same as brain waves, it is something else, an energy that has not yet been fully discovered.
As the pup grows up, it may absorb more and more, eventually forming a brain spirit.
This may be how the Brain Spirit reproduces, drawing consciousness from the brains of other creatures and 'making it independent'.
This is a lot like Lin transferring Susumi's consciousness away, but Lin has not been able to create an independent consciousness. Surely there's something special in this that hasn't been figured out yet.
If that's what you think. It may be that only personality creatures are better suited to spawning Brain Spirits. Moreover, different creatures will generate a variety of different brain spirits.
Those brain spirits that invade the brains of other void people may be 'low-level species', and behind them there may be 'high-level species' brain spirits in the back.
If, if that's the case......
So this race is quite interesting...... But they are also quite dangerous, and they cannot be dealt with in a normal way.
In addition to operating in illusory dreams, they also make quite a few weapons outside, the kind of flashes they like to use. It can be called 'stellar flash' for the time being, which is a common high-temperature substance in stars, and I don't know how they are produced, maybe it is simply to heat something to a very high temperature and then imprison it, and then launch it when necessary? This aspect must also be studied.
In addition to stellar flashes, they also emit another type of hot substance that, while similar to stellar flashes, is actually completely different.
This attack does not deal unwanted damage and is suitable for targeting specific targets.
Also, they recognize Lynn's classes and cells. Lynn speculated that the 'Brain Spirits' could even be separated from containers such as brains, which is how they should have spotted spies before. A brain spirit came out alone to probe and found that the Spy's cells were different.
But Lynn felt that they might not be able to come out alone for long.
If you think about it like this...... This may be the reason why they invaded the virtual people's cue ball, they want to use the virtual people to create more brain spirits, the previous group of pups may have been just a test, if they successfully captured the virtual people's cue ball, they are estimated to use a large number of pups to plant brain spirits.
Why puplets? It is estimated that the adult virtual human brain has grown, and there is too much noise in it, which is no longer suitable for planting brain spirits.
Only the cubs, their brains are very 'pure'.
In short, this qiē is just speculation, in fact, Lin doesn't know what is going on, Lin needs to see the whole process to fully understand what is going on, so she needs to let the spy's brain and the thorn on his head grow together, and then see how it turns out.
Until then, the kind of crumbs that need to keep the thorns growing.
The composition of the thorn is not found on the cue ball of the Void People, and it is supposed to be a metal-like substance, although Lynn has found some similar substances on other tumblers, such as the Lost Star, it is impossible to bring the Spy's head to the Lost Star here......
So, how about catching a brain spirit that has already grown?
Lin felt that the Black Metal Regiment was using a certain method to inject a brain spirit into the virtual people who joined them, and then the brain spirit would guide the virtual people to do things.
So, it is possible that every member of the Black Metal Regiment has a brain spirit in their brain.
Although Lin felt that this method was not very good, because even if she caught a 'living' brain spirit, she didn't know how to study it, but Lin wanted to see the growth process of the brain spirit, so that she could better understand them.
However, it's okay to grab one and take a look.
And Lynn is now in their base.
A virtual citizen stands under a sprawling building, this virtual citizen is a spy, and Lynn has now spread a large number of pompoms throughout the city, looking for nutrients that can be used to create more spies and pompoms.
Although there are almost too many laws for the virtual people, the crime is still very rampant, not to mention those single people who commit crimes, there are also a lot of large criminal groups, and there are gathering points for criminals in the dark corners of various cities, and this is one place.
It looked like a large warehouse, and it was very old, with a lot of metal patches for repair, and rust was all over the building, even in a densely populated city.
So it's a good place to be a 'hiding place', and recently the number of virtual people who have joined the Black Metal Regiment has surged, so there are places where they gather everywhere.
The Spy walked forward and knocked on the door at the entrance to the warehouse.
"Who is it? Say the code. A voice came from inside, and a small opening opened in the door, and Lynn noticed a pair of eyes looking over there.
The spy said, "Deliver the courier." ”
"Good, you can come in."
At the same time, the door opened, and Lin saw a virtual person in black standing at the door and said, "Don't look around when you go in, come out as soon as the matter is done, you know...... Ahhh ”
The Spy grabbed the vanity by the face with one hand, then dragged it to the ground and walked out.
"Ahhhh Let go! The virtual man struggled desperately, but it was not strong enough, and it suddenly pulled out a small weapon and fired it at the spy several times.
'Bang bang bang! After three shots, the Spy had a few more holes in his head, and the Spy dragged it to the other side of the warehouse, which was not far from the sea, and when he dragged it to the sea, the Spy dropped it and jumped into it.
It's one of the rare places where there isn't a farming factory, but Lin thinks the water is so muddy that even the factory's filtration is hard to handle.
The spy dragged it to a cave at the bottom of the sea, which had air in it, which Lynn had dug up, anyway, let's study it here first.
If it's a member of the Black Metal Regiment, it should have a brain in its head.
On the other side, Lynn has to find the materials to grow in the brain of the young spy.
Directly attack the black metal to obtain? This is unlikely, and there are not enough troops here, but Lynn found that another place seemed to look like it.
That's ...... Black market.
The black market is where things that are forbidden to be sold in the market are sold...... Lin thinks so, in fact, the extinction of many species on the cue ball of the virtual people has a lot to do with this place.
This is because even though some species are protected and forbidden to sell anything related to them, they are still being bought and sold on the black market.
Another of Rin's spies also came here, and there are many different kinds of black market, but the place where Lynn went was, like its name, was a small dark space.
The Spy was now holding a black stone in his hand, and Lynn was carefully examining it.
This stone is mixed with some substances that can be used as nutrients for thorns......
"Do you want this?" One of the hypocrists standing in front of the spy said, "This is the best I got recently. ”
"No, it's too low." The Spy said, "Take another one." ”
"Is this still low?" The Void Man exclaimed, "This is a high-purity ...... Forget it, you, go get it the tallest. ”
"Yes." The other Void Folk beside it walked away, and after a while, it brought another one to the Spy and said, "This is our treasure here, and nowhere else." ”
The Spy took the stone and began to continue monitoring.
The ingredients tested by Lin are not the same as the purity of the Void Folk Theory, this stone is called the 'Addiction Stone', and it is said that after a certain method of processing, it can continue to emit a special 'feeling', in short, this radiation makes the Void Folk produce an extreme sense of pleasure, and at the same time become addictive.
Of course, the higher the purity, the better the effect, but Lin just wants to test the 'black metal' in it, and it has little to do with this purity......
The black metal ingredient can be used as nourishment for growing thorns, but this is also too low, and each addiction stone seems to contain more or less a little, but even if it all adds up, it is not enough for the thorn to accompany the spy cub to adulthood.
The Spy put down the stone and asked the two vanity people in front of him, "Where did you get this?" ”
"Nova Mine, of course." The virtual man replied, "Transported directly from the mine, it is original." ”
Sure enough, there it is......
"I don't want it." With that as he said that, the Spy walked out.
Nova Mine is a place where the Void People are specially used to collect Void Ore Veins, and there should be a lot of these things there, so if you should go to the place of origin, you can directly get a large amount of black metal ingredients.
It's just that I don't know if the Void People can withstand the attack of the black metal during the period when Lin is observing its growth? (To be continued......)
