"This is the god of creation. A grandmaster of the Ancient Spirit Cliff was suspended in the turquoise sea, ecstatic: "The survival and reproduction of complex communities, the pure gods that are derived. And because those micro-beings don't have a self, and there are no distractions, so the self-thoughts of this deity are very poor and clear, and the spirit treasure is in ......."

"Amazing!"

Another grandmaster said, "It seems that the Shinto theory can be updated. Shinto is not a gathering of ideas, but a system of clusters!"

This turquoise ocean is the body of an unidentified living entity, 625. Mak Siwei had previously entered the battle area between the indigo Poseidon and the turquoise Poseidon [that is, the Poseidon who was aware of and greeted him before Mai Siwei entered the atmosphere, also known as 624].

And 625 came out just now, just to try to save this strange individual.

The "mountain range" that Mai Siwei saw before was actually a small part of No. 625's body. For humans, it's about the equivalent of a finger.

In addition, there is an individual known as Six-Two-Six. It seems to be the helper that 624 and 625 have found. Judging from the satellite image, this emerald turquoise "ocean" seems to be the largest individual on this planet, covering an area of 50 million square kilometers.

This sea area is where the three individuals meet. Suspended in mid-air, you can see the three colors of emerald water, turquoise blue, and turquoise coexisting in one place.

And at the junction of the three seas, a group of grandmasters are busy with something.

"Very good, very good, this time it was done. Liu Yuxi released a cyan jade magic weapon. The spherical artifact flew into the air, then suddenly grew in size. From the original fist size to one person height.

Mai Siwei was a little curious: "You. What are you going to do?"

"Communication. Liu Yuxi helplessly pointed to the surrounding talisman qi. The reason why they held up such a heavy protective qi when they were not fighting. It is to prevent the "noise" of the sea god infusion: "What Lao Lu said, we are with these ...... The gap between the sea gods is too great for them to understand each other in their minds - their way of communicating is like a brain-piercing sound to us, and conversely, our language may be a harsh noise to them. ”

"This little thing is the 'ear' and 'mouthpiece' that we use to communicate with these communities, Shinto beings. Another Unified Alliance Grandmaster introduced, "Those things rely on quantum wave exchanges of divine power. This thing can take that signal and interpret ......"

"Oh oh! Infinite Heavenly Venerable, come and see!" the Tianling Sect Master surnamed Lu mentioned earlier let out an exclamation. I saw that the emerald sea water suddenly condensed into a small thing like a tentacle, and gently touched the sphere.

"It's like we're controlling our hairs to play with fleas!"

"Control that pure martial arts cultivators can't do!"

"I've definitely heard of communicating with interracial people. The first step is to communicate languages. Mai Siwei looked at the ocean under his feet in embarrassment: "However, we probably don't have any common language with this thing." ”

In many cases, primitive body language solves most communication problems. However, these community-Shinto creatures do not even have limbs, so it is naturally impossible to understand the meaning of the Terrans' shaking slender "limb protrusions".

"We have done quite a bit of research on this point. Liu Yuxi said confidently: "'Arithmetic is the manifestation of the Tao', arithmetic is the most common language in the universe." ”

With great interest, Mai Siwei found a place, ready to see how they had established communication with the Poseidon. Liu Yuxi took out his own abacus, a jade longboard, and swiped his fingers a few times. Then, a faint spiritual wave suddenly emitted from the orb.

It's the language of the Poseidon class!

"It's ......"

Tianling Ancient Spirit Cliff Grandmaster Lu Zhengxin explained: "Back to the seniors. Xiao Liu had already classified the spirit waves he had collected from there. On the assumption that each of the clusters has an independent meaning, we have identified the most commonly used group of clusters. In the first set of spiritual waves emitted by this magic weapon. Xiao Liu will send out that spirit rhino cluster in a loop. Let's assume that this group of spiritual waves is a neutral word -- that is, 'this,' 'of,' or some other similar word in the language of this Shinto being. ”

Mak Siwei wondered, "Does it make sense to do this?"

Lu Zhengxin replied with a smile: "Of course, such repetition will not convey any meaningful information. However, if they are lucky, these cluster spirits will realize that this is an attempt to communicate with them. ”

Mai Siwei smiled: "Then I hope these big guys are not dirty, they are not scolding their mothers, or something like 'how to communicate with this', otherwise we may still send an insulting word in the past." ”

At this moment, Mai Siwei keenly felt that the spiritual environment of the outside world had changed. The "Poseidon murmur", which no longer bothered them all the time, suddenly disappeared.

"Success?"

"It worked, senpai. Liu Yuxi said loudly: "They have noticed. ”

"The next part is the more crucial part. Lu Zhengxin whispered, "We have attracted their attention, but can we communicate with them?"

The Immortal Alliance has already come into contact with some alien races. Sometimes, the communication between two civilizations begins with the simplest 'noun' – the use of body language to draw this and that. Once you understand certain nouns, you can start verbs. This method works for most aliens.

But finding a common language with the "ocean"?

It's too hard.

Another Grandmaster with an arithmetic in hand reported: "The communication between the three deity instances continues—we don't know if it's their internal communication or if it's responding to us. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Liu Yuxi seemed to cheer himself up again, repeated it twice, and manipulated the calculator again. This time, Lu Zhengxin explained: "This time, he sent another spiritual wave, which is also the one that appears very frequently. ”

This is the strange spirit wave that is oppressive around it has finally disappeared. The emerald waters tumbled, seemingly stopping the other two "clusters" with a boo.

And then. The orb exploded.

This mutation allowed Mai Siwei to protect the left and right people at the first time. The powerful power of Yuan Magnetism is ready to go. The two turquoise and turquoise seas seemed to be frightened. It was like a receding tide - they had seen Max Swei make a move. And the emerald water slowly rises. Seems to be responding.

A mountain made of condensed sea water rose from the ground in an instant, and the wind blew the clothes of the people to hunt.

At this moment, Liu Yuxi raised his hands and shouted: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute, senior! At this time, my fault! My fault! They just wanted to say hello, but they used a little more force...... It's not an attack! It's not an attack!"

There was a giant who greeted a little man gently, but the child's eardrum was too fragile and cracked all of a sudden...... That's about it.

Mak Siwei breathed a sigh of relief. It's not wise to fight a monster that covers 50 million square kilometers on such a planet. Although he didn't spend too much effort to kill more than 10 million square kilometers, no one knew what it would be like for these big guys. Whether the relationship between volume and strength increases linearly or exponentially. Six-two-six may be five times stronger than that indigo ocean, but it may also be more than three thousand times stronger than that.

Mai Siwei lowered the strength of the Yuan Magnetic Qi Gang little by little, and 626 seemed to sense the other party's intentions and slowly calmed down. Six-two-five and six-two-four also returned.

Lu Zhengxin breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but scold: "Xiao Liu, do you want to kill us?"

"Lack of funds......" Liu Yuxi sighed.

Mai Siwei took out more than a dozen pieces of heaven and earth treasures from his storage bag and said, "Okay, give me the design drawings, and I'll refine—I'll apply for additional funding after I go back." ”

"Xiao Liu. I want to have a hand in funding!"

"We really can't leave him in Shenzhou, otherwise the little money of the Immortal Alliance doesn't know how much he will squeeze out!"

Someone tried to make a joke. But in the face of a behemoth that covers 50 million square kilometers, it is not easy to tell jokes lightly.

After seeing the design, Max collected some of the pieces. Then, I didn't see how this pinnacle overhaul moved, all the refining materials turned into fluid in an instant, intertwined, and then there seemed to be rubbed by countless hands, quickly solidified and formed—it was the sphere of Fangcai!

This sphere is larger than the original version refined by Liu Yuxi, and it is far stronger than the original. Liu Yuxi connected his calculator into the spiritual core of this magic weapon, and then re-manipulated it.

First of all, he repeated the two sets of spirit waves just now.

At this moment, the emerald sea quickly responded. This time's response was much softer than the last time, but Liu Yuxi's calculator still emitted a burst of bright light, as if it might be overloaded at any time.

"It's exactly the same as the spirit wave just now. Liu Yuxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It has no desire to get angry or change the communication. ”

Whew――

The sound of a long sigh of relief, accompanied by sparse cheers, came out of the crowd.

As strong as Mai Siwei, it is also possible to be temporarily suppressed by a sea of 10 million square kilometers. If there is a slight misunderstanding between the two sides of the exchange, then except for Mai Siwei, the great master here, none of them want to live.

However, they have to do it because these Poseidon classes are of great significance.

The one who cheered the most was Lu Zhengxin, the grandmaster of the Ancient Spirit Cliff. Because "the meaning of the swarm of beings" is exactly what he proposed. Studying similar species that exist today to speculate on the habits of an extinct species is also one of the research methods of the Ancient Spirit. When he saw these clusters of life, he had the idea that perhaps these creatures whose bodies were scattered and who had gained wisdom by the spontaneous orderliness of their environment might be the species closest in temperament to the most presumed "nebula creatures".

This sea, perhaps, may hide clues and secrets that point to the "strongest in the universe"!

Even if the hope is slim, it's worth the gamble!

It is necessary to communicate with these "sea gods". Even if these great masters pay the price of their lives, they will not hesitate!

"What are their answers?"

"If it were us, we would probably ask, 'Who are you?' or introduce our name. Of course, there is also the possibility of saying, 'What the hell is this?' Lu Zhengxin was nervous: "But...... These big guys can't be inferred by the common sense of the human race. ”

"What's next?"

"It's up to Xiao Liu next...... Every move we make is a matter of scrutiny. ”

Liu Yuxi manipulated the orb magic weapon and copied the spiritual wave from the jade sea just now. And then pass it back. This is to those seas. It is emulative, learnable, and communicative.

And then. That's the initial conversation.

The orb emitted a dazzling glow, then quickly dimmed again. After that, there were two more flashes in a row.

Flash once, flash twice, flash three times.

The strange spirit waves in the air have not changed, and people have existed. Maybe those Poseidon are still communicating with students.

Liu Yuxi repeated the action just now - flashed, flashed, flashed, flashed three.

Soon after this operation, there was feedback, and everyone in the Immortal Alliance received the spirit waves of three groups of cluster creatures. Their psionic senses can feel that this is distinctly different from other spiritual waves.

"Okay!" Liu Yuxi finally couldn't help but cheer in a low voice: "It's successful!

Lu Zhengxin guessed: "They will say again-'one!two!three!'"

"It's also possible that 'one plus two equals three'. Liu Yuxi said: "The premise of this exchange is that 'there is no similarity between our two races'. ”

Someone chuckled under his breath, "I hope it's not 'what are you guys doing?'" ”

"Then verify it. Mak Siwei stopped the crowd talking.

Liu Yuxi manipulated the ball again to flash.

Flash once, flash twice, flash three, flash four.

This time it can't be "one plus two plus three equals four".

One, two, three, four!

The human race of Shenzhou, and the cluster of creatures of the sea and sky. With such a set of words, the first conversation began!

"One, two, three, four!"

"One, two, three, four!"

After repeating this three times, Liu Yuxi began the next set of manipulations.

The artifact flashed in reverse order: four flashes, three flashes, two flashes, and one flash.

Four! Three! Two! One!

"Four, three, two, one!"

The spirit wave of the sea god carries a cheerful cry.

Liu Yuxi continued to talk, and the Immortal Alliance's Grandmasters were engrossed in the progress of the matter. Soon, they learned about the number one to one hundred in the "ocean" language. He stopped tempting when he counted to a hundred, because he was afraid that these "big men" would get bored with this kind of game and eventually stopped communicating with him altogether.

This was followed by a simple arithmetic test: two flashes. A long pause, three flashes. A long pause, followed by five flashes.

Two plus three equals five.

The first three times Liu Yuxi repeated this operation, the "Emerald Sea" 626 always answered 2, 3 and 5 honestly, but on the fourth time, it finally understood what the extended pause meant - it was a missing word.

A whole new set of spiritual waves came.

"Two plus three equals five. ”

In a short period of time, Liu Yuxi knew the expressions of "subtraction", "multiplication", "division", "greater than" and "less than" in the "Ocean Language". Then, he deliberately sent the wrong equation to let the "oceans" make judgments, and then learned that these big men said "yes" and "no".

"Obviously, they are beings of higher intelligence. Lu Zhengxin sighed: "It's not just about relying on the innate race. ”

"I'm more concerned about it – they know binary judgment. Liu Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief: "This shows that we still have the possibility of communication." And I know what to do next. ”

"The next step is ......"

"Logic. Liu Yuxi said: "After yes or no, it is a judgment of right or wrong, and then it is a collection - at this point, we can exchange most of the arithmetic concepts." For example, the geometric painting of heaven [Euclidean's axioms], and the arithmetic axioms of arithmetic [Pinoia's axioms]. We can then copy our algorithm theory and construct an 'intermediate language' ......"

This tedious work went on for a long time. Fortunately, everyone is a high-level monk, and there is not much need for food, drink and sleep. The work is going well. It's just that Liu Yuxi didn't find anything like "base system" in the language of "ocean", maybe their "base system" is expressed in a more obscure way, maybe they don't base system at all, or maybe their ban is very large, far more than a hundred [The ban of general civilization is related to its hand index, toe count or limb number, but the sea god class does not. Lu Zhengxin even guessed that there might be as many micro-creatures in their bodies as there were. It made him feel like he didn't know where to start.

Then the questions followed. On the next day. When I draw a day style in an exchange. "Ocean" saw the parallel lines and perpendicular lines that Liu Yuxi had conjured. But no clear response was given.

"What's going on?"

This is, Mak Siwei gave advice: "Skip the painting style." Jump directly to the surfaces of Lai and Roche. ”

Lu Zhengxin suddenly realized: "Their bodies are so big that they can perceive the curved surface of the planet from the beginning! He was originally just a metaphor, and I didn't think we could actually find it!"

The Immortal Alliance's attempt lasted a full fourteen days. In this process, 626's attention is always very focused. Slowly, a set of "intermediate languages" based on arithmetic and logic began to take shape. This intermediate language is understandable to both parties. And whether it is the Shenzhou human race, or the cluster creatures of the sea and sky. He can be amended, and such modification does not make it difficult for the other party to interpret it.

With just a lot of communication, this "intermediate language" can be perfected.

At this time, Liu Yuxi suddenly sounded a question: "Speaking of which." We haven't given these 'big friends' an official name yet, have we? ”

Everyone's eyes were on Mai Siwei. He was the first to come into contact with these magical creatures, and according to the regulations, he was qualified to take a name.

"Similar to the Shenzhou Sea God, and the body is the sea, the Shinto gods are ......" Mai Siwei pondered for a moment: "It's called the Sea God." ”

Liu Yuxi nodded: "Very good, then, let's start the formal exchange." ”

He sent a set of spirit rhinos.

"It's a pleasure to meet. Friend. ”

And the Poseidon class gives a cry of joy.

"One, two, three, four!"

........................

"Well, that's it! to commemorate that exchange. Within us, 'one, two, three, four!' was used as a word of friendship - and that was our first contact with you. After telling a long story, Xi took a bite of the meat bun in his hand and narrowed his eyes: "Hmm...... Isn't it amazing! Meat sandwich bun is the greatest invention of the Shenzhou Continent...... This meat is very good...... Hmm...... Xiao Liuli's transformation method is really useful!"

Wang Qi sighed: "Are you transforming just to eat......

This is an attempt by the sea gods - to reverse the dragon race's transformation method to create a human body for themselves and experience the gradually formed personality.

Ai Qinglan was a little curious about that story: "Speaking of which, what is the reason for Haru and that indigo sea god to fight?"

"I don't know. Probably that guy is crazy? It's a common thing. ”

"Crazy?" Chen Feng said curiously, "A disease like a sea god?"

Xi shook his head: "I probably realized something that completely rebelled against the mainstream...... For us, this is the equivalent of 'something that has come out completely against the mainstream'. Every few days, there are deviant thinkers who explain our 'heavens' there. ”

Ai Qinglan couldn't believe it: "Then you shouldn't ...... Fight for life and death, right?"

Wang Qi covered his forehead: "I understand...... "The Age of Bear Children", ah......"

"What?"

Wang Qi explained: "Poseidon does not have a stable, formed personality, they are children all their lives. ”

"And the last thing a child knows is restraint. They are arbitrary by nature. Although they are kind, this kindness is very precarious - sometimes they even live and die for the slightest difference of thought. It's not for the sake of face, it's not for the benefit of power, it's really just a difference of thought. Because for them, 'access to ideas' is the greatest ...... Pursuit"

Poseidon does not have the mindset of "life is beautiful", and they are more decisive and unabashed than the human race.

Fundamentally, they are also immortals, similar to the lone beasts in the universe. It's just that they are born saints and children, so there is a little difference.

Xi nodded: "Of course, it was like this a long time ago. It's just that Mi is different. She created the idea of a beautiful life, so there are a group of peaceful sea gods in the sea and sky - the first to discover you is also Mi Oh!"

When Leqo entered that planetary system, Mi discovered the strange magic weapon.

Her strength is indeed the strongest in Haitian.

Wang Qi looked at the little girl sitting beside him, quietly drinking fruit syrup: "Senior sister, I didn't expect you to be a bear child king back then!"

Mi smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't been the child king for a long time......"

She has fashioned the human body. This physical body is not worth mentioning in terms of combat power and thinking ability. However, there is a benefit to this physical body.

Mi will also gain a stable personality through this physical body.

She is a philosopher and a child, a child of tens of thousands of years. And now, she is about to grow up through a body made of solid flesh and blood, ending her tens of thousands of years of childhood.

"Speaking of which, how did you discover the proposition that 'life is good'?"

"That's another story. (To be continued.) )

PS: Note: "The Era of Bear Children" is Liu Cixin's work "Supernova Era", which tells the story of the children of the earth after the death of adults. Extraordinary...... X-rated.

At this point, the 18,000-word "Haitian Poseidon Class" has come to an end. Tomorrow, the poor road will return to the renewal of the main story.

In addition, I would like to pay tribute to Vernovenc's "The Abyss" and Robert Sawyer's "Constellation"!
