Chapter 126: Cluster Consciousness!?

To the east of the barren swamp, on a desert with sparse forests and almost nothing.

On the desert land, which had already experienced a snowfall, the snow had accumulated by two or three centimeters, and the new snow that had not been trampled on by living creatures had not been hardened and became as thick as soil.

After a bitter storm that fell from the sky, the snow was lifted from the ground, bringing another snowfall to the small desert.

I have to say that the "undead" in this world have indeed opened the eyes of the earth.

Should it be like a kite, or like a sandstorm?

To the east of the barren swamp, among the three giant birds with dark bodies, the anti-crow and another bird dragon once again set off a storm.

At this moment, the wind elemental that was forcibly recruited into the body suddenly burst out from the wings of the two ornithrosaurs, and as the wings flapped, a gale wind was formed, completely tearing apart the strange thing that came and was composed of pieces of bones.

"Spirits?"

Although I have been exposed to various "energies" before, for the first time, the things in front of me have given the earth a different texture.

Everything he had encountered in the past had a concrete, physical body.

Now, however, his eyes ...... No, it's the vision of the extended core that "non-corporeal creatures" appear.

In his fluctuating perception, the thing that appeared in his field of vision was a bit like a "mollusk", or rather, like a primitive amoeba?

Before, he felt a little strange -

What he felt from the bottom of the swamp, the undead on the surface, gave him a high degree of "fluctuation feeling".

Let's put it this way, the nest dragons in the dragon's nest all come from him, but the fluctuation sense given to him by different nest dragons is not the same.

Even if it is a nest dragon that hatches and evolves from the same material, the sense of fluctuation will not be too big, but there is a real sense of difference.

However, the feedback given to him by the undead was highly consistent, almost identical.

Don't say "the same origin", even if it is said to be the same individual, the earth line also believes in it.

It's just that the earth line didn't think in this direction from the beginning.

And now, the earth is somewhat convinced-

The "spirit" in front of him was dominated by countless scattered bone fragments, spreading out an amorphous outline.

Not only that, but there is another proof.

Before, he tried to lure away a group of undead by striking the east, and then took the opportunity to control the underground dragons to come out of the underground and take the opportunity to transfer away.

But......

As if they had some kind of immediate, efficient means of communication that they hadn't discovered, when the group of undead creatures was lured away, a large group of flying undead creatures gathered to the sound of the anti-crow's vigilant call.

Not only that, as a pioneer, several abyssal dragons who were the first to dig out from the ground, after colliding with the remnants or wandering necromancers, even though they were immediately defeated by the abyssal dragons, they were soon surrounded and suppressed by a large group of necromancers, and died on the spot.

In addition, as soon as the Anti-Ravens appear in the "field of vision" of a Necromancer, they will immediately attract a large group of Necrons that can fly or attack from a distance.

Do they have a similar way of swiping through the other nest dragonbrains as long as they have a core?

Or......

He had been wondering why he could only use the expansion core to transmit information only to the creatures he had hatched.

With his superficial knowledge of electronic information and communication, just like the radio frequency band, he thought that it should be a certain part of the body of the nest dragons, and an organ that could receive energy "fluctuations" in a certain frequency band was expanded.

There are even organs that specialize in accepting "fluctuations" in a certain frequency band.

This explains why the Earth Walk is unable to send information to other creatures "swiping in their heads".

Electromagnetic waves can be encoded and used as a means of transmitting information in the form of a code.

The same can be said for sound waves.

Although the attenuation of sound waves in the air is faster than that of electromagnetic waves due to the different diffusion methods and mediums, the propagation efficiency in water and solids is much higher than that of electromagnetic waves.

Not to mention that most organisms themselves have some degree of voice discrimination organs, such as killer whales, which have the means to communicate through remote "whale songs".

So, what about in the fantasy world?

Through the elements, through the energy, through these energies that themselves have special properties, using the laws of change and feedback, to specifically encode a set of means of communication, is it feasible?

Instead of saying that they use "fluctuations" to transmit information remotely, is it feasible to use the energy in the body of the undead itself as a carrier for storing information?

It's like a way for creatures like ants and bees to use pheromones a lot to communicate.

To be honest, the earth still doesn't want to think about the possibility that these undead have Gestalt consciousness or even hive thinking.

The true sociality of an ant colony is already the limit of what he can accept.

Jixing silently watched the shredded body of the necromancer, watching the miserable white energy gradually dissipate in the air after those bones were destroyed.

Gestalt consciousness, the standard model of the term, refers to the shared memory of all individuals, in which case the "individual" no longer exists, and the entire civilized society is a huge biological individual.

Gestalt consciousness is decentralization, all "individuals" are brain tissue, but also limbs, internal organs, flesh and blood organs, according to the division of labor positioning to determine the difference, all "individuals" highly consistent choice and judgment.

The standard model of Hive Consciousness is sometimes seen as a subset of Gestalt Consciousness, and sometimes it is distinguished as an alternative.

However, the hive consciousness and memory are highly concentrated, and the subordinate individuals do not have collective memory and decision-making power, and can also be regarded as a "huge creature" or "huge biological cluster", just like a creature like a human being, the brain determines the direction of action of body parts and organs, but the decision-making power is higher, and it can actively control what the organs do specifically.

Di Xing imagined that he felt that the real fantasy world should not be a fantasy skin, not just the real Middle Ages wearing a fantasy coat, except for the performance level, the social structure is not even much different.

However, he did not imagine that when he came to another world, he would run into a "creature" that seemed to be Gestalt consciousness or hive consciousness.

It should only be true sociality, and if it is a real, standard model of hive consciousness or gestalt consciousness, its corresponding high efficiency is not something that any kind of social structure in the previous life can resist.

To survive at the hands of such an enemy, either the "civilization" or "individual" itself is not aggressive enough, or it is subject to insurmountable limitations, such as physiological limitations.

The ground line allowed the crow to pick up a bone.

He had retrieved a skeleton of an undead creature before, but that bone didn't have a label like "death energy" at all, it was just an ordinary beast.

At that time, the idea of the earth was that the undead were some kind of "parasitic creatures".

Whether it is a hermit crab or a parasite such as roundworms, these bones are not their main body, and they may not even have a body made of material basis.

This makes it a bit of a pity for the Earth Walk, who can only obtain death energy-related tags through creatures such as cursed elves or death worms.

He admits that if the undead were really Gestalt-conscious or hive-conscious creatures, he did have the idea of coveting the other creature.

Even if it's just really social, it's fine.

It's just that if you can't get the other party's "flesh and blood materials", everything is empty talk.

However, regret is regret, and he still needs to be cautious.

Otherwise, judging from the current situation, he might not be able to save those abyssal dragons from the ground at all.

Dixing's gaze turned to the north of the swamp.

The creatures of this world should be very familiar with these undead creatures, and you can observe how they deal with these undead creatures.

It's really not good, it's okay to pick up the corpses of two bloodthirsty elves and go back to evolve.

As for the dragons underground.

Di Xing can also see that the combat power of this group of abyssal dragons may not even be able to make a splash before throwing them into the wave of undead, and the only role is to dig deeper pits and bury the expansion core tightly.

Alternatively, try directing the elves in the direction of the dragons' flight and see if the elves will save them.

If you want to prevent the Yuanlong from starving to death underground, this is the only option.

As for whether the dragons will be rescued and some of his secrets will be exposed because of this, and then they will be hostile?

The earth bank believes that there is such a possibility, and it is very high.

He had already thought before that the means by which he could "resurrect" his life would definitely be coveted and hostile.

That...... Let these dragons die.

The local bank does not like unstable factors that are not in the plan and under control.

"Use your flesh and blood to make the final contribution to the dragon's lair."

There is no harmless plot in the earth, and he doesn't plan to let the anti-crows sacrifice for this group of abyssal dragons.

Moreover, even if the anti-crows cooperated desperately, the distance between those elves and the swamp was too far, and they would really do what they wanted and come in this direction?

Even if they did so and succeeded, the chances of these abyssal dragons escaping were still very low.

The cost performance is too low, give up the rescue, let them cover the anti-crow before the food runs out, send the original expansion core out, and send the expansion core that they are carrying now.

After that, let them do the final fight to see if they can collect enough good bone materials for the Dragon's Lair.

Far away in the dragon's lair, he made a decision in his heart.

Rather than die of starvation, it is better to die in battle, and if you can leave your bones behind, the Terraguild will use their bones to hatch new nest dragons.

ps: The first update, old book friends who have read the crows should be familiar with the gestalt thing, the crows, including the protagonist, the group of spirit creatures, are all Gestalt consciousness creatures.

It is not the structure in which the brain is located in the main body and the main body controls the doppelganger, but there is no "primary and secondary" distinction.

But there are still some differences, it can only be said to be a variant gestalt, not a standard gestalt, not to mention that the book has not been written, some things have not been written, but it doesn't matter, dig a hole, if you can still write, write a book to tell the story of the crows that has not been told.

Manpower is limited, looking at the note-taking software, the number has piled up to twenty story outlines, and I can't wait for all kinds of soaring, what cans or others, I want to write out all the books.

Off topic, as for the hive consciousness, everyone should also be familiar with it, the swarm, the empress is the brain.

As the protagonist thinks, I don't think the Otherworld should be a medieval with a fantasy skin, and all aspects of society will change dramatically because of the existence of an alternate energy.

Other ethnic groups also have many things that are different from the real society, and the possibility of evolution is beyond the reach of imagination.

You can guess the background of these undead, you can guess it...... I guessed it, I can't bet on anything, you can't guess how many updates I add, this bet is too cruel for lazy pigeons.

Spread your hands.
