Chapter 214: Fungi?
As for the words of pure energy life.
With the current permission, we do not have access to any relevant information.
So whether pure energy life exists or not, Jing doesn't know.
However, Jing didn't want to encounter such a life, because compared to those lifeforms, pure energy life was still too bizarre.
The entire fleet glided quietly through the universe, and there was not the slightest movement between the ships.
Jing slowly approached the fleet, his information organs scanning them inside and out.
Although there were no anomalies at first, as the data collection increased, many commonalities emerged, and all the findings were made.
After a detailed view and analysis of the scene.
He found that a large number of objects inside the ship had tiny pinhole-like wounds, and some had slender scratches on the surface.
These traces are ubiquitous on ships.
This shows that the attacker should have an elongated body structure and also have the means to control it.
Because Jing found that the inside of those mechanical devices had traces of the attack of technological civilization.
In other words, it is clear that these technological civilization lives have killed each other.
Jing didn't think they would kill each other under normal circumstances, and the chaos happened to all the ships.
This situation reminded Jing of a thing he had done.
Virus.
The attack on this fleet should be something similar.
But why can't you find it yourself?
Could it be that this thing has already run away?
But where can it go?
To be on the safe side, Jing Dan towed a ship to his side.
If the thing that attacked the ship was still inside the ship, it would have reacted when it sensed its presence.
The ship was pulled closer by a magnetic field.
Jing tentatively stretched out his tentacles, allowing them to seduce the attackers who might be in the ship.
I didn't feel anything at first. But as the scene of the evolution of the main information, his senses are far stronger than those of the other two evolutionary directions.
When the tentacles stayed on the surface of the ship for a while, a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow suddenly came from the tip of the tentacles.
While feeling the chill, Jing immediately retracted his tentacles.
The attackers were still on the ship.
They are transparent.
No.
The light of the stars could not illuminate the place, and the picture presented in Jing's mind was actually the image detected by the information organs.
Therefore, the attackers were hidden under the detection of the information organs, or in other words, in fact, the information organs of Jing could not detect the attackers.
A hidden enemy.
Jing already wanted to back down at this time.
The attacker who appeared out of thin air had similar abilities to his virus, so it was very likely that he was now facing a cosmic individual life with a higher degree of evolution than him.
Isn't it easy for this kind of guy to deal with him?
But will that cosmic individual life really still be here?
After he dealt with this fleet, he must have left.
And these raiders, just like Jing once did, left the virus there to fend for itself after extinct Ao as a civilization.
Jing's heart suddenly gave birth to a little greed.
The things released by this attacker are most likely a way to control living beings.
I don't know what the logic of their control over life forms is, but if you eat them, won't Jing be able to gain this ability?
The evolutionary equation.
Jing Zai has felt their charm once again recently.
The desire to evolve is the first driving force for the development of individual life in the universe.
Thinking like this, Jing stretched out his tentacles and reached for the ship again. At the same time, another tentacle was waiting on the side.
When the tentacles were placed on the surface of the ship again, the body's alarm bell rang again.
But this time, Jing resisted the urge to retract his hand.
A tingling sensation immediately appeared on the tentacles, a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The weapon's energy supply organ has begun to operate, and the tentacles that are the energy cannons have been aimed at the tentacles of the scene.
The tingling continued.
Although Jing couldn't see where they were in the information organs, Jing was able to feel them when they entered his body.
They are very elongated.
If it weren't for the tingling sensation coming from his body, Jing wouldn't have been able to detect them at all.
This tingling sensation is not caused by these slender invaders penetrating flesh, but by their erosion and replacement of nerve fibers in the scene.
Jing immediately understood how these things worked.
They invade the body, eat all the nerve fibers of the living body, and replace them.
Let's call it parasitic fibers.
The operating principle of parasitic fibers is not more complex than that of Jing's virus, but their structure is much more complex than that of viruses.
Parasitic fibers are not self-conscious, but rather instinctive prey.
But as a simple life form, what is the essence of their life?
Virus?
Or is it a fungus?
Jing has thought of Cordyceps.
The train of thought seemed to open up all at once.
The answer to the problem has always been there, but Jing's train of thought has not changed to that angle.
But even if this fungus is created, will Jing's plan to control the entire technological civilization become simpler?
Although the answer is yes, fungi will replace all the nerve fibers of living organisms, including the brain, after eroding the living forms of technological civilizations.
This is a very embarrassing thing.
Is this technological civilization life form dead?
Needless to say, his mind must have disappeared with the replacement of his brain by fungi, but since his body is still alive, it is not an exaggeration to call this kind of life that has been replaced by fungi a vegetative person.
Jing can indirectly control the life in the technological civilization by manipulating the fungus.
It's that he can't control hundreds of billions of lives at the same time.
Not to mention, the most critical point.
Such control will make the life forms of scientific and technological civilization lose their greatest value - scientific research value.
They have become vegetative, how can they engage in scientific research?
Jing to control these scientific and technological civilizations, isn't the most important thing to hope for is to control scientific and technological civilizations and conduct scientific research for him?
What's the use of controlling a group of scientists who have turned into vegetative people?
Is there a difference between using vegetative people to engage in scientific research and Jing's own scientific research?
As I was thinking about it, the tingling sensation in my hand suddenly deepened, and there was a burning sensation.
Jing silently looked at the tentacle that was interrupted by the tentacles of the energy cannon.
Unfortunately, during the period of invasion of parasitic fibers, Jing did not find a way to control the parasitic fibers, even the force field in his body had no way.
So in the end, the tentacles can only be interrupted to ensure the safety of the body.
"If I could, if I could get some structure from this parasitic fiber, my research should save a lot of effort."
Jing still wants to try it.
