Chapter VII: Control the Center
Wang Xiaotian had just come up with this question, and before he could say anything, the huge brain as large as a hill immediately responded: "This is a memory sensing device." ”
Wang Xiaotian was taken aback. He didn't understand why this strange brain-like thing would know what he was thinking.
Brain Monster: "Because I don't have the ability to speak, the only way to communicate with the outside world is through brain waves." I can pick up your brain waves, so I know what you're thinking. ”
I see. Wang Xiaotian put his mind at ease.
"What is this sensing device for?" Wang Xiaotian's thinking was faster than his consciousness again, and this question instantly popped up, and he couldn't stop it.
The hill-like brain replied, "Let the user pass on his memories to me." ”
Wang Xiaotian was stunned, "What are you doing here?"
Brain Monster: "I like to collect memories of intelligent lifeforms. ”
"Why?"
Brain Monster: "Because, everyone's memory is a world." Some are wonderful, a little spectacular, some are warm, some are beautiful, some are terrifying, some are weird, and each has its own characteristics. ”
Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, "What are you collecting these memories for?"
Brain Monster: "Once upon a time, I loved to travel, traveling through the infinite sea of stars in search of the magnificent beauty of the universe. I feel that these beautiful scenery of the universe represent the true meaning of the universe and are my ultimate pursuit. ”
"Have you ever seen the birth of the Don Gerard Nebula, have you seen the twilight of the Lorma galaxy being swallowed up by a black hole? have you seen the Feginis system, the first intelligent creature born on a newborn planet?"
Wang Xiaotian shook his head. He didn't say he had seen these things the brain-type monster said, and even these awkward names were the first time he had heard them.
Wang Xiaotian said: "Then why did you come here?"
Brain Monster: "War, damn war!" Even if I'm free, I have people who want to serve the community. This is the sorrow of intelligent lifeforms. However, it is also their luck. If you don't form a group, no individual can overcome so many disasters and last for hundreds of millions of years. ”
"100 million years ago, this time scale was calculated in our universe, unlike you here. At that time, a fierce war broke out between my people and another powerful race. ”
"In order to win the war, I had to give up my travel to find the mines for my people to store war resources in order to support their wars. For us, war is a fight for resources. We rarely fight face-to-face, we all build overwhelming fleets and war machines to fight. ”
"The scale of the war is growing, and the demand for resources is increasing. I'm exploring the planets, and I'm getting bigger and bigger, and I'm not protected by the fleet. ”
"The process is boring and lonely. My only pastime is memories. Reminisce about the spectacular beauty you have experienced before. ”
"Later, I encountered the enemy's fleet and was pursued and intercepted by countless times the enemy. Although I piloted the starship to break out, my starship did not escape the fate of being destroyed. ”
"However, I was lucky enough to escape in an escape boat. Moreover, the violent explosion of the starship sent the escape boat to your world. ”
Wang Xiaotian was secretly suspicious in his heart. In his sea of knowledge, there are countless scientific and technological knowledge of the old era, some of which is astronomical knowledge. Moreover, at the end of the Old Era, mankind already had a deep understanding of astronomy about the universe.
Although this knowledge is very professional, and all he can understand is scratching the surface, he still knows many of the names.
But in his knowledge of astronomy, there are no names mentioned by this cerebral creature. Don Girard, Lorma, Feginis, he doesn't even have a single piece of information in his database.
And he always felt something was wrong with the spectacular beauty he said about the brain-type creatures. It's just that for a while, I don't think anything is wrong.
At this time, Dugu Ying's body suddenly trembled.
Wang Xiaotian immediately asked, "What's going on? They won't be in any danger, right?"
In fact, Wang Xiaotian asked this, just to seek comfort, is this brain-type creature said that there is no danger, is there really no danger?
Brain Monster: "This is his subconscious reaction when he recalls something that excites him." Don't worry, there is no danger in the whole process. ”
Wang Xiaotian felt a little calmer in his heart, and asked again: "What are you using to collect human memories? Now human memories are only the experience of living on this planet. No one has ever been in space. These, have absolutely nothing to do with the spectacular spectacle of the universe you like. Isn't it?"
Brain Monster: "That's right. These memories are really not good. However, this is better than nothing. It's like if you're hungry and want to eat baked, but you don't bake it, only a piece of dry and hard dough cake, so do you want to eat it?"
"Of course you have to eat, right? Otherwise, you'll get even more hungry and you'll starve to death." The memories of these people are certainly not to my liking, but they are better than nothing. I can only taste them as small snacks with unique flavors, otherwise I will die of loneliness. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded, and asked again, "So, what's going on in the underground world outside?"
Brain Monster: "yes, what do you think? It's amazing, isn't it?"
Wang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and nodded.
The brain-shaped monster seemed a little excited: "At the beginning, my lifeboat fell here, and there were only microorganisms with a very simple structure. I was bored here, so I used my knowledge to modify these microorganisms, evolving them into glowing mosses, nutrient-rich mushrooms, and growing worms that feed on mushrooms. ”
"However, it is too difficult to build a complete ecosystem. After tens of thousands of years of exploration, according to the characteristics of certain creatures on the ground, I have transformed more than 10 kinds of animals, more than 200 kinds of plants, and more than 30,000 kinds of microorganisms. ”
"These creatures, it's okay to build a simple ecosystem. However, due to the lack of food chain constraints between animals. After a while, the animal population will proliferate, and the worms and mushrooms will decrease, and the animals will fall into a situation of cannibalism. ”
"In order to avoid total ecological destruction, I had to guide these animals to the ground. Every few years, this happens. Gradually, there were more animals outside. ”
Wang Xiaotian understood why there was a passable ramp from the underground world to the outside. It turns out that these are all deliberately made by brain-type monsters.
"Then, after a while, the animals on the ground disappeared completely. I'm also surprised by this situation. It's just that the outside environment is not suitable for me to live, so I have never been able to figure out what is going on. Until not long ago, someone broke in. ”
"Wait. Wang Xiaotian immediately asked, "How long ago did you say that?"
Brain-type monster: "It seems like the second time the animals outside are empty." ”
Wang Xiaotian was speechless. The second time the animals outside were empty, it should have been hundreds of thousands of years ago. For such a long time, it turned out to be not so long ago for a brain-type monster!
However, if you think about what it says, it was 100 million years ago. Hundreds of thousands of years, it was not so long ago that it was not so long ago.
Wang Xiaotian was afraid that he had wronged the brain-type monster, so he continued to ask, "From the first time to now, how many times have the animals outside been empty?"
Brain-type monster: "Fourteen times." ”
Fourteen times? That's it. Obviously, the brain-shaped monster in front of him is the culprit of the beast tide.
Brain-type monster: "Beast tide?
Wang Xiaotian immediately woke up to his thoughts, and his thoughts were received by the brain-type monster. So, he told the brain-type monster about the situation of the beast tide, 1510.
The so-called telling is not that Wang Xiaotian said it in words, but just thought about it in his head. Thinking is lightning fast, far more efficient than words.
Soon, Wang Xiaotian went through the situation he saw in the beast tide this time and put it on a movie.
As soon as his memories ended, the brain-shaped monster immediately reacted: "Why ......"
Hmm? Wang Xiaotian was a little strange, what did the brain-type monster mean by "why"? But the brain-type monster didn't go on.
He waited for a while, didn't wait for the next step, and couldn't help but think, what does it want to say?
Brain Monster: "I'm sorry, I just found out that there was a new entrant, is it your friend?"
Immediately after, a clear picture appeared in front of Wang Xiaotian: Mo Li was running wildly under the tall mushrooms, and suddenly burrowed under the mushrooms on this side, and suddenly jumped behind the ferns on the other side.
He didn't mean to be cute. It's because Cheng Yunshi, who was about ten meters behind him, had been chasing him with a frosty face. Moreover, Cheng Yunshi also held a sword in her right hand and a gun in her left hand, and shot at Mo from time to time.
If it weren't for Mo Li's quick reaction, he would have been killed by Cheng Yunshi.
Mo Li struggled to escape for his life, while shouting something in his mouth. It's a pity that Wang Xiaotian can only see the picture and can't hear any movement at all.
The brain-shaped monster received his thoughts, and released the synchronized sound of the picture very intimately.
Mo Li: "You stinky woman, didn't I just touch you? What? Are you made of paper paste or syrup? Or is it made of tofu, you can't touch it? You chased me so relentlessly for five days and five nights, and you still used a gun to shoot me, are you sick?"
In response to Moli, it was Cheng Yunshi's two bullets.
Mo Li immediately dodged the bullet and scolded as he ran: "Crazy woman, neurotic! If Lao Tzu hadn't been kind enough to save you, he wouldn't have touched your filthy body! Narcissist! Kind heart as a donkey's liver and lungs! Dog bites Lu Dongbin -- I don't know the hearts of good people!"
Cheng Yunshi used two more bullets to respond to Mo Li.
Wang Xiaotian secretly thought, it turned out that Mo Li's touch on Cheng Yunshi was to make her sober up. However, there is a way to make Cheng Yunshi sober up, why did he use such a dirty one?
Wang Xiaotian thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out. Then, he asked, "How far are they from here now?"
Brain-type monster: "More than a thousand kilometers." At their pace, it would take five hours to get over. Moreover, their direction is not coming this way. ”
Wang Xiaotian said: "Previously, we had just entered the underground world, and we were discovered by you, right?"
Brain Monster: "Yes. ”
Wang Xiaotian was a little puzzled, "From the time we entered the underground world to the present, you have not stopped us or guided us, why? Don't you want our memories?"
The brain-type monster was silent for a while before reacting: "I believe that everything is fate. If we had fate, you would have found here, and if it weren't for fate, you wouldn't be here. ”
"Is it fate?" Wang Xiaotian muttered, uncommittal, and then asked, "Do the two of them have a fate with you?"
Brain Monster: "What hasn't happened, I can't tell." ”
This sentence was like a lightning bolt, piercing the doubts in Wang Xiaotian's heart. He suddenly realized, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the brain-type monster: "You're lying!"
Brain Monster: "You've been so slow to react that you didn't even realize I was lying until now." However, you are much better than the other five, who have not yet discovered it, and have been in the dream world I have weaved. ”
"Still, I'm curious, how did you find out I'm lying?"
