"So, yours. Oh no, our Pure Land is actually going to burn oil? ”

"Hmm," Victoria thought for a moment, "depending on what you mean by 'burn'." If it means burning, then it's not. Because there is no 'burning' process in this process. But if 'burning' is understood to mean a large amount of consumption, it is true. ”

"How much does it cost?"

"We actually have a unit of measurement called the 'metabit'. We choose oil as the 'fuel' because oil contains the most abundant metabits. Because the oil stores countless dreams of the dead in the form of organic matter, and it is highly compressed. One meta-bit can support an intelligent life like you to run a minimum clock cycle in the big dream. Even now, Cyberbullenia is consuming a lot of tar. ”

"Is that a huge amount?"

"At the moment, it's not a big amount, because the taste of tar is also different – first of all, the difference between oil and oil is huge. The dreams of such a lower creature as a microbes are no match for the dreams of dinosaurs. The more oil comes from highly developed life, the more metabits it contains. While there is very little oil that actually comes from the dinosaurs, at least one truckload is enough to keep Cyberbullonia running for days. ”

"Pretty convenient? So saving money? "It's so easy to use, it's already beyond Shang Luo's expectations. After all, this is a city-level node, and there is a whole city of people in it. And if the city exists in the mortal world, it will consume more than just a tank of oil.

"It's not a matter of saving money – do you know why I said tar instead of petrol? Because this process can actually be refined. After the tar is put into the big dream, there will be high-quality fuel floating up, pure and free of impurities. For example, even if they are used to light a lamp for the Buddha, these 'clear oils' are pure enough. ”

"It turns out that in terms of fuel, it doesn't consume fuel at all. Just now I was thinking that the imperial court has been trying to find ways to save fuel recently. ”

"I suggest you do have to save a little." Victoria shook her head, "Because we're also thinking about what to do when we run out of gas." The clear oil that floats up can be burned, but I always feel that it is useless. For example, in the future, it may be possible to use this clear oil as a solvent to recover the memories of living beings to make tar, and then supply the consumption of the Great Dream Realm. In this case, the clear oil has to be recycled. ”

"Ahh What is the 'way to reclaim memories'? ”

"I don't know, but in principle it's possible, because it's a reversal of the change from tar to clear oil, and it replenishes what was consumed. Of course, we have some backup options, but we just don't use them. ”

"For example?"

"For example. Whale oil. Victoria replied, "We've really considered using whale oil, and in the 'tar' category, whale oil is undoubtedly the best of the best." We don't use it now because whales are too emotionally rich to be stored and 'fermented' over time like tar in oil, so they can't be used. But taking a step back, it is feasible to use renewable resources to supplement the consumption of 'tar'. And the clear oil is the solvent that is needed at that time. Are you saving fuel? ”

"Yes." Shang Luo nodded, "Recently, in our car races, we are trying to use fuel ethanol instead of fuel. ”

"You're really ahead of your time, I don't even think you knew in advance that oil was of great use, and what was the reason for you to do it?"

"Because the world is ours. It's normal to save some things at home. I'm used to it. ”

"It's good habits. Then I would suggest speeding up the plan and reducing the use of all fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Because there are precious metabits inside, it would be a pity to burn them down. ”

"Hmm," Shang Luo agreed. When you can use fossil fuels, you can still use them.

After using it, if you have to find a way to turn the clear oil into tar again, it will be troublesome. "Injecting" memories is something very cruel to hear.

[For example, Meng Po soup? Apollonia asked, "That's cruel indeed. Splitting memories is equivalent to splitting a person's identity and personality. 】

"From the perspective of the reincarnation of the underworld, fading the memory is indeed a step into a new life, and it also means complete death. But what we do is not to construct a samsara with Meng Po soup, but to allow all people to enter the Pure Land and thus be free from the suffering of samsara. If you still have to leave some of it outside, live, grow old, sick and die, squeeze your memories and use them as fuel in the divine realm - good guys! What a dark myth of this. ”

"But this dark myth is too hellish, isn't it? It's literal hell! ”

[If you want to talk about hell, this is indeed hell, what are you going to do?] 】

"Tsk, fortunately we still have time, and fortunately we don't have to make this decision for the time being. After that. It depends. Whether it's whale oil or re-coaking clear oil, I don't really want to use it. Although I really have to use it at that time, it's okay to use a barbarian and use anything else, anyway, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and I don't have any psychological burden, and it is enough for us to stay in the heavenly realm. But at least when I have the choice, I want to try something less harmful. I think it's quite fuel-efficient now. ”

Not necessarily. Apollonia reminded that she was using the example of 'dinosaur oil'. The reserves of oil born in advanced life such as dinosaurs in the entire formation are quite small, and most of them are seaweeds and microorganisms. I suggest you still think about low-grade oil. 】

"What kind of 'low taste' is this.Headache, this kind of problem does not exist at all when burning oil, anyway, it is all a fire, who cares about dinosaur oil, whale oil, algae oil and so on." I always felt like it was."

He reacted: "I'm listening to thermal power, hydropower, and electricity with headphones!" It does have a relationship um. I'm going to have to experiment when I go back, because the 'oil' on both sides of us is different, and there is really a difference between wind power and hydropower. By the way, Victoria, how to use the metabits in these oils? Is it enough to soak in? ”

"Hmm." Victoria nodded, "You grind the blackstone and put it into the tar, and the Great Dream Realm kicks in - in this process, the blackstone acts as a catalyst, and it doesn't consume itself, it consumes tar." Then whatever you want to put in it, soak it in a tar container. You're a teapot? Just throw the teapot in, and the world inside the teapot will automatically start 'walking the needle'. ”

Take a break today, and there will be three shifts on Monday
