(PS: It's still two chapters in one, a big chapter.) ）

“……”

Hao Sheng waved his hand, and then touched his neck with the palm of his hand.

Orc Anse nodded silently, then pointed to his eyes and legs.

A pointed voice came from Hao Sheng's ears that only he could hear: "This means that he has seen you and your figure, you are not an eroded object or a monster, and now I need you to explain your intentions and make gestures according to my guidance." ”

Hao Sheng reluctantly made gestures and gestures, and at the same time took out a can as instructed.

Anse and the many orcs behind him had a look of horror, rejoicing, and greed on their faces, but the greedy expression quickly faded, not hidden, but suppressed it with some perseverance.

“…… As we have taken into account in our algorithm, there are several turning points in the way people get along with each other in a post-apocalyptic society. ”

"The first stage is that the old order still exists, whether it is according to inertia or some government functions are performed, people will do a little chaotic order under the orders or guidance of the government, such as moving, evading, joining the army, or more bluntly, pulling the strong ding, these behaviors will be mostly obeyed by the people."

"The second stage, the stage of loss of order, in which the people lose the most basic security guarantees, the government functions are completely missing, in the process, the darkness in human nature will erupt, and at the same time, the missing government functions will be replaced by one small group after another, whether this small group is based on violence, on blood, or on some collective unit of the original government, which replaces the original government order, this process is slow and full of blood, violence, darkness, And the vast majority of people will die in this moment. ”

"The third stage, with the establishment of order, if the end does not destroy everything in a more brutal way, then this is the wasteland stage, at this time, small tribes, small city-states will appear, both wary of each other, but cooperate with each other, civilization will begin to recover very slowly, but if the end continues to advance and burst, then it will enter the silent phase...... All will hide and remain silent. ”

"The fourth stage, which is also the final stage, as the end continues, there are fewer and fewer intelligent lives left, and the relationship between people goes from the initial government-guided cooperation, to the confrontation over materials, to the stage of small team order that is both cooperative and confrontational, to the final stage of absolute cooperation, under this final stage, the interaction between people will have an extremely peculiar characteristic, that is, ......"

"Life and death are intertwined."

"Any team that doesn't do this will be eliminated by the apocalypse, and the smaller the number of people left, the more united they will be, until the end of the world comes, or the civilization revival leads to population growth."

Hao Sheng thought of a think tank team report he had read, which was a report on the structure of the apocalyptic society made by Yang Lie's team, and was ridiculed by many people after it was released, thinking that Yang Lie's team thought too much about people's hearts, and some fierce remarks even claimed that after a large reduction in personnel, only others would form hell between people, until the last intelligent life died.

However, this trip to the underground exploration has undoubtedly confirmed the report of Yang Lie's team.

In the process of mass death of intelligent life, all those who do not know how to unite will be eliminated, and their teams will also be eliminated, so what remains is a group of people who finally stick to unity, cooperation, and restraint of the darkness of human nature.

This is actually a kind of elimination of human nature, but at the last moment of this genocide, it is only those "weak" who have dark human nature that are eliminated.

The appearance of the seven people is similar to a minority race in this world, and its race is called the Hegan people, and its appearance is somewhat similar to the wood elves in a certain scroll game, that is, the whole person is slender and strip-shaped, tall, thin, and has rough skin.

Using exoskeleton armor, these characteristics are quite good simulations, and the human body is actually not far from this image, so when the seven of them appeared, this group of intelligent beings did not panic, and indeed regarded them as Higans, although they were slightly vigilant, but in terms of performance, they were indeed more kind than malicious or neutral.

At the same time, when they took out the hard currency of canned food, it was obvious that they were tempted and greedy, but almost immediately spontaneously restrained this greed, which was not even greeted or led by someone, which proves once again that they have experienced similar situations and have some profound lessons to learn from them, so they will behave in this way.

What made the seven people curious the most was that these people did not speak the whole time, and they all communicated with gestures, whether it was for them or for their own people, as if opening their mouths was a great threat.

And the seven people happened to not know their language, and at the beginning they were going to prevaricate and then use sign language, but the other party didn't speak, and they blended in at once, and they really fell asleep and met the pillow.

Under the guidance of this group of people, they smoothly integrated into a small gathering place.

In the gathering place, they found that these intelligent beings did not speak unless necessary, the whole gathering place was quiet, almost no noise could be heard, people used sign language as much as possible, and only spoke in very low voices when they couldn't.

The seven looked at each other and followed in silence.

They will conduct in-depth investigations at this gathering point, and all kinds of information collection will be handled by the information processing center in the rear.

"The memetic erosion of this small world has three processes, the first process is to produce visual and auditory hallucinations, which are the most basic symptoms, after which the whole person will gradually go insane in visual and auditory hallucinations."

"In the second process, visual and auditory hallucinations gradually become serious, which gradually affects all its external perceptions, in its perception, the world begins to take on another form, such as flesh and blood, such as bones, such as various aliens or monsters, the whole world is like this, whether it is their relatives or friends, they will become monsters, unable to understand their language, unable to understand their meaning, this is probably similar to a game once released in the Earth Era, called the male protagonist of the Song of Saya."

"In the third process, after this perception is completely changed, the spirit of the infected person will be completely alienated, and at the same time, the same infected person will be in a normal form in their senses, and they will be able to develop telepathy-like extraordinary powers with other infected people, and they will become intimate with each other, in this process, their physical bodies will gradually be distorted by their perceptions, and finally merge together."

"In all three processes, the people who are eroded will emit the message of erosion, that is, they themselves are memes, and the people around them will not be able to isolate this erosion even if they are physically isolated, and in the end, everyone around them will be eroded, and then they will be spread out into that kind of flesh and blood."

"The survivors who are hiding underground, through experience, through reasoning, have learned some of the meme's transmission patterns, so they flee the surface, and at the same time they reduce the exchange of information, although this cannot cut off the ...... of the memetic erosion."

“…… Wait a minute, we got another analysis report, according to the surviving inhabitants of the underground, they all heard the cries of their relatives and friends (deformed or dead), but if they answered and responded, then they would be eroded and distorted, or lost in the darkness insanely, and the survivors believed that it was deceived and devoured by the terrible flesh (terrestrial disaster), so the current survivors firmly believe in the law of silence. ”

On the Blue Star, with the deepening of the exploration of the small world, all kinds of information are being analyzed and summarized, especially after Hao Sheng and the others entered the underground to blend into the survivors' gathering place, and got a lot of first-hand information from these survivors.

One of the most important is the memetic information that destroys the small world.

The meme's propagation is based on cognition, but not the perception of the meme, but the perception of the person who has fallen victim to it.

In other words, if your friends and relatives fall for this meme, then as long as you are more familiar with your friends and relatives and respond to the cries in the dark, then you will be able to use the meme out of the air, and you don't even need to have a pathogen around you that has been infected with the meme.

This is already a mode of idealism, similar to the pattern of curses or curses in human civilization.

According to the words of the survivors of the underground, a total of millions of people retreated to the underground under the leadership of the alchemist.

But in the past three years or so of the apocalypse, most of them have died, the gathering places have been destroyed, and even some well-built underground shelters have also been destroyed, some of which are due to internal strife, power struggles and so on, but more of them are the distortion and erosion caused by this "response".

So among the last 100,000 survivors now, "response" has become an absolute taboo, and thus it is derived from that all voices have become taboo, even when they have to speak up, they will try to make a long story short and keep their voices low.

And in the investigation of Vanke's past whereabouts, the team of Yishanjiu also found a lot of important information.

First, Vanke's plant alchemy continues, but through the secret experimental base that remains on it, it can be seen that his research object is not seaweed, but humans, or the main civilization race of this small world, orcs.

Vanke's spirit has become abnormal, and the world he sees in his eyes is completely different from the world seen by normal people, a symptom similar to the second stage of this doomsday meme.

He experiments on the orcs after killing them, but in his eyes it's seaweed.

At the same time, he describes more and more truths, and more and more knowledge is gained from the truth, which, judging from the information currently known, is a projection of high-dimensional fear.

The more he came into contact with high-dimensional fear, the stronger Vanke became, and the alchemist of life in the northwest was actually himself, who slaughtered millions of orcs and other minority races, and used these lives as "seaweed" to conduct various experiments, and a key term appeared in his experiments.

Soul Essence.

He found the soul essence of the "plant", thus opening the final step of the alchemy of the seaweed plant.

Soul Link.

He wants to connect the souls of all intellectual beings together, and then form a unified consciousness, which, once presents, can eliminate all wars, all exploitations, all oppression, and mortals will be equal to alchemists, all of them will love each other as one......

The exact alchemical formula has not been found, but the results are already very obvious.

Under the information indoctrination of high-dimensional fear, Vanke has long been a memetic infector, and even he is the original infected.

At the same time, with the support of the information instilled by high-dimensional fear, he reached an unprecedented level in the alchemy field, and his life alchemy even reached the soul realm, that is, the ultimate pursuit of alchemists, to the point of refining the philosopher's stone with his life.

In fact, combined with the alchemy knowledge of this small world, the analysis team has confirmed that Vanke has refined the Philosopher's Stone during the final experiment, and has implemented a memetic information sharing model based on this ultimate creation of alchemy, with the soul as the carrier.

According to one of the hypotheses of social theory, in a modern society, people in the world can be known by knowing five people, and after the final alchemy used by Vanke, the aberration begins in the northwest region of the small world, and then the acquaintances hear the call of their dead relatives and friends, so they respond, and then contract the meme.

Therefore, this infection cannot be isolated, even if the alchemists at that time completely cut off the northwest in an absolutely physical way, but this distortion and erosion still destroyed this small world in a short period of time.

“…… At this point, the apocalyptic process of the small world has been resolved, and even if there are still some defects, they are all supplemented by some side branch information, the only strange thing is that since the end of the world to our entry, according to the underground survivors, only three years have passed, isn't it too coincidental? Only three years have passed since we arrived, and in terms of cosmic time, it can be said that it appeared almost simultaneously. Some experts said.

Another expert said, "It must be the time difference caused by the observer's cognition." ”

Everyone next to them looked over and found that this expert was a protégé of the great scientist Schiller Rodriguez, and they listened in awe.

The expert explained seriously: "From the cutting-edge technology of the fourth-level cosmic civilization we are studying, it shows that the main research direction of the intermediate-level cosmic civilization, that is, the fourth-to-sixth-level cosmic civilization, is still space science and technology, but this has begun to involve the information level. ”

"We all now know that time is just a unit that describes the flow of matter and energy, and there is no such thing as time in the universe, so at the quantum level, time doesn't matter whether it is forward or backward."

"At the information level, which is also the very micro level of space technology, there will be cognitive perturbations in this kind of information that describes the flow, that is, unless an observer exists, and this observer produces cognition, the flow of information will show a wonderful superposition state of both operation and stagnation."

Most of the experts around me are social science personnel, so I really heard this passage but didn't understand it, so they all had embarrassed but polite smiles on their faces.

The expert was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained: "For example, this small world may have been in this cosmic space for hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years, but because there are no intellectual observers, although their time feels that their time is passing, but the observers brought by the future, that is, for us, are actually stuck in relative stillness. So it's not wrong for them for three years, it's not wrong for us to be hundreds of thousands of millions of years after their apocalypse. ”

"You can think that they are ghosts from a past period of time, but the moment we see them, they become real beings, so that when we enter, this small world is only three years after the end of the world...... To put it more simply, you can think of this as a copy of the game, just like those Three Kingdoms games, every game starts with the Taoyuan Three Knots, or the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu or something, and the time point is fixed at that moment relative to the material universe. ”

Everyone understands this, but everyone still feels incredible.

After all, this is a real physical universe, not some game copy or anything like that.

How could such a wonderful situation really happen?

The universe is so big that there are no surprises.

On the other hand, with the completion of the construction of the outer space station outside the small world, the extraction of materials will also be carried out, the first part of nature is the ocean, these seawater liquids are the best fuel and biomass, and they are also the easiest parts to extract, and the rest of the solid materials will be extracted after the ocean is all clean.

And Lu Yuanming appeared except when the first wave of matter was absorbed into the material universe, and used cognition to reconfirm that these substances did not contain memetic information, and then he disappeared.

Also disappeared were Tang Zhe'an, Wei, Eze, and the government and military leaders on the human side, as well as the two existing great scientists of the human race, as well as the head scientists in other fields, totaling more than 3,000 people who completely disappeared from the public eye.

They're making a superweapon that combines science and psionics!

“…… According to our calculations, the larger the weapon infrastructure, the longer the duration of the germplasm change, the greater the power of the final weapon that can be generated, even if it is only one shot, its power is enough to become a lore before the seventh-level cosmic civilization! ”

The great scientist Schiller Rodriguez is introducing this conceptual weapon to Lu Yuanming and other high-level officials.

"According to the calculation, when the energy loop is about a kilometer long, the duration is two seconds, and its base energy is a standard equivalent antimatter reactor, at the end of the two-second energy storage time, we will launch a beam cannon with a total energy of four trillion trillion megawatts, which is already more than the total energy that the sun in the solar system can burst in one second, or it can no longer be called a beam cannon, but a beam burst!"

"The energy loop is two kilometers long, the duration remains the same, the base energy remains the same, and the energy obtained after two seconds of energy storage is 4.12 trillion trillion megawatts."

"We fixed the energy loop to a length of 19,000 meters, which is the most suitable calculation parabolic length node in the current calculation, and the next large-scale increase in the calculation node is 180,000 meters, which is not suitable as a weapon, so the length of 19,000 meters is the most suitable, and the duration is increased to three seconds, only one second, and then we get the energy storage result is ......"

"Forty-nine trillion trillion megawatt beam burst!!"

"How much!?"

There was an exclamation of exclamation, even the high-level government politicians who did not understand this aspect of science had read the approximate data report before coming, and they all knew clearly what the total amount of energy of the sun was in one second, and they could be calm in front, but at this time, their faces changed drastically.

"You heard you right!" Schiller Rodriguez had a certain proud expression on his face, and he said loudly: "A beam burst of forty-nine trillion trillion megawatts is not four hundred and ninety-thousand, not four trillion trillion megawatts of energy twelve times more in two seconds, but forty-nine trillion trillion trillion megawatts, which is not an order of magnitude!" ”

This is certainly not an order of magnitude, aside from the term billions of megawatts, 40,000 and 49 trillion, this is more than an order of magnitude, this is simply several orders of magnitude!

Not billions, but trillions!

"How is that possible!?" Many of the scientists in the audience exclaimed, along with some politicians, their faces were red as if they were bloodshot.

Schiller Rodriguez immediately said: "After this number came out, we were also shocked, so we used the supercomputer matrix to calculate countless times in a row, and even directly applied for artificial intelligence-assisted operations, and in the end this number was accurate, and the principle was ......"

"Metallic Transformation!"

Schiller Rodriguez said with a somewhat depressed face: "This is not in line with science, but I am first and foremost a human being, and I must first contribute to the continuation of mankind, and with the help of this alchemy, we have obtained the ...... superconductors."

"At present, our superconductor has zero resistance at room temperature, and there is no loss of energy transmission, and under the action of this extraordinary force, we have obtained superconductors...... Negative resistance! ”

"The passing current will be completely inconsistent with the conservation of energy and increase by about 0.07 percent, and the number of this variable will increase with the length and duration of the superconductor, and if this energy is constantly circulating in a honeycomb matrix construct, then as its base increases, an unimaginable amount of superenergy will eventually be generated out of thin air!"

Schiller Rodriguez pointed to a set of calculations behind him and said, "As long as the duration of this alchemy can reach three seconds, then we will be able to unleash a gamma-ray burst in a small, directional area!" ”

"Do you know what that means!? This means that in the seventh-level cosmic civilization, before the direct modification of the rules and laws at the information level, we will have the ability to finally lift the table, even if there is only one shot, even if this one shot is likely to be the same end, but this means that our enemies will be deterred by it, which also means that when we face a cosmic civilization similar to the light of the stars, or the fifth and sixth level cosmic civilization, we will no longer be ants and insects that can be caught with our hands tied! ”

Lu Yuanming obviously knew this for a long time, after all, the application order for artificial intelligence assistance had to be issued by him.

He stood up and said: "I have decided to agree to the production of this weapon, for the supreme information ban, everyone here needs to sign the ban administrative document, and at the same time, in order to prevent any soul or other information channels from knowing this secret weapon, I need you to sign your name on the affidavit, of course, I will also sign, and finally, the weapon is named ......"

"Pangu!"
