Chapter 31: The Artificial Body
Where does man's mind come from, where does man's will come from, where does man's spirit come from?
Where does the human soul come from?
The headquarters of the Zhenyuan Sect, the eighth floor of the core, the fifth artificial cave sky, the second central plan - the artificial holy body research and development center.
In the solemn steel hall, there was a huge, hundreds of meters high transparent cultivation tank, in which countless green solutions were churning, and many black shadows were driven up and down.
At this moment, two cultivators in pure white robes stood in front of the giant jar, silently looking at the contents inside.
"Twilight, you say, why are our spiritual powers that change the world at our disposal?"
The cultivator on the right was shrouded in shadows and couldn't see his face clearly, except for two eyes that were as dazzling as the scorching sun, like twin stars in the dark.
The other cultivator who was questioned, a cultivator named Chang Dusk, was just the opposite of this person, his whole body was like a star and he was emitting a blazing light, only his eyes could clearly see the clear eyes, which were a pair of eyes that belonged to a human being.
"Because of the will. ”
Answering lightly, Chang Du didn't continue, he pursed his lips and frowned, staring at the black shadow in the container, "Senior brother, this question is meaningless. ”
"Well, it's a very important question. ”
Not caring about his junior brother's resistance, the cultivator shrouded in shadows chuckled, walked to the huge cultivation tank, stretched out his right hand, stroked the translucent barrier, and continued to ask: "Since it is will, then why can the will directly act on the aura, spiritual power, and even ...... Physically?"
"Why does our will intervene directly in the operation of matter from below, and why does our intervention increase in the degree of our understanding of the nature of matter?"
Turning around, he looked directly at his junior brother: "It's just an unsolved mystery. Isn't it?"
"This question is meaningless, it's not something that cultivators of your level and I need to think about. ”
Shaking his head indifferently, Chang Du replied seriously: "Since this phenomenon exists, then recognize it, accept it, and use it." Master it, and then, go beyond it. ”
"You are here to think, to be confused, to argue, to analyze, and even to question this phenomenon, which in itself is unwise and not something we should do. ”
"That's your character. ”
Smacked his lips with some regret. The cultivator pondered his own question in distress: "But there is one thing you said right, we really shouldn't do this now...... When will the first batch of artificial holy bodies be cultivated completely? They are in a hurry to use it, they want to use the new world as a test site, and the Void Breaker will not wait for anyone. ”
"It's a couple of weeks, it's coming. Chang Du was also relieved, his senior brother was fine, he respected his master, and treated others kindly. Cultivation is strong, and the mind is firm. Whether it's a friend or a teammate, it's very ideal, but it's just a little bit of a problem with the brain, always thinking about something that is not good, it's not cool at all, it's just annoying.
"Suppose one day, all mortals will have artificial holy bodies. Then the probability that they will become cultivators is ten out of ten. ”
Whispering, the cultivator in the shadows looked up at the steel dome of the man-made cave: "In this case, even if you really don't have talent, relying on the Holy Body is enough to survive in the most difficult environment." It will no longer be a drag on us, and those who are gifted, when they advance the Golden Pill, they don't need to look for a large number of sacrifices, and they can rely on their own strength to open up the Cave Heaven ......"
"Beyond the human race, beyond all known creatures, beyond mortals, beyond the limits of the physical body...... That's why we have to be holy. ”
However, Twilight has a different opinion on this emotion: "It's beautiful, but in my opinion, this plan is too dangerous. ”
Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, his eyes flashed with worry: "This is not a power we can control...... It's powerful, but if it gets out of control, it can cause the most terrible disaster, and this is the case!"
As he spoke, the two of them turned their eyes to the huge container.
Floating in the green solution were densely packed swollen and deformed internal organs, and the intestines that wrapped them and covered with spirit patterns had yellow eyeballs growing one after another, constantly turning and peeking into the outside world. Countless tiny gray tentacles spread out from the ugly pieces of flesh, moving freely in the viscous liquid. Not only that, but under the transparent inner wall of the culture tank, a strange substance like human skin was spreading upwards little by little, covering it like wallpaper, and it was covered with countless pulsating blood vessels like beards.
Alveoli-like structures support these strange objects, which adhere to these scattered pieces of flesh and attach them to the white bone beams that resemble ribs, and at the center of these strange objects is a huge, slowly beating heart.
The majestic and terrifying vitality poured out of it, alienating all the flesh, even if it was separated by a barrier tens of centimeters thick, it could still make the two cultivators feel its vitality.
"Indeed, it is dangerous. ”
Even the cultivators in the shadows had to admit this: "But this is not something that cannot be mastered, in fact, there is only one exception among tens of thousands of test subjects, which is within the allowable mistakes...... Think about the bright side, if you succeed, then even mortals can use their physical bodies to fight demon beasts, and even win in battle...... After all, this is a technology developed by relying on the demon's body, and it is normal to be so powerful that it is dangerous. ”
But Twilight still objected: "Choosing a safer way is what the wise ......"
"But we don't have time, humanity needs change, right now!"
Decisively interrupted his junior brother's words, and the light in the eyes of the cultivator in the shadows was brighter than before: "The fish broke away from the water and became the ancestor of land creatures, this is the first step for life to transcend its own existence, and the beasts discover spiritual power and begin to evolve, this is the second step for life to transcend its own essence!"
"Now, this is the time, just like the fish landing on the earth, and the beasts manipulating the spiritual power, we will go to the outer heavens...... We, we human beings, never, absolutely cannot and will not be confined to a tiny planet!"
He stared at his junior brother, and said in a leisurely tone: "The universe is so vast and vast, that is our destination, how can a fragile planet that even we can't withstand fighting against demons can carry human civilization? ”
"Cultivators are based on mortals, and mortals can't stand the pressure of ascending to the heavens and transcending the void, if we don't convert them into holy bodies, then what if we cultivators successfully evacuate? Without the new blood that has transcended from mortals, can we still rely on our outrageously low fertility rate to continue civilization? Such a slow death, it is better to sit back and wait for the demon's army that is enough to annihilate several galaxies to come and swallow everything!"
"It is in order to change this disgusting future that I, Chang Yao, have taken over the responsibility of being in charge, and have been in retreat here for hundreds of years. ”
There was silence, and the only sound in the cave was the sound of the solution rising and falling in the culture tank.
“...... I can't argue with you. ”
After being silent for a long time, Chang Du interrupted the silence with a wry smile, "What you said may be right, but I think that when it comes to demons, we must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious. ”
"Although more than ninety percent of the main body of the artificial holy body is an artificial body structure created by us, even if it is only one hundredth, one thousandth, or even one ten-thousandth of the evil factor, we need to pay more attention, and this demonized body that has devoured dozens of semi-holy bodies is the best example. ”
"I just wanted to say this, that's all. ”
After speaking, he no longer stopped, but turned away and got out of this cave.
“......”
At the end, Chang Yao, who was shrouded in shadows, glanced back at the huge cultivation tank, the indescribable flesh and blood were still slowly multiplying and spreading, encroaching on all this.
"It's a pity that it's a very valuable research material, but in the end it didn't really succeed. ”
Shaking his head, he chased after his junior brother and left the cave.
In the culture tank, the green solution was still drumming, and the strange internal organs and meat pieces were floating and floating.
But at the top of the tank, there was a large, jellyfish-like black shadow.
That's a huge brain.
There were many writhing hands and feet on it, and dense yellow eyeballs were gurgling and turning.
Where does the human mind come from?
The human mind comes from the activity of the brain, and the activity of the brain is the activity of neurons.
Neurons emit impulses, which is one signal, and neurons are silent, which is the second signal...... Whether it is noble or small, firm or weak, whether intelligent or stupid, righteous or evil, all thinking comes from these two most basic signals, the will and soul that can influence spiritual power and change the world...... Also based on these, these tiniest pulsations.
But alas, in this brain
There is no pulsation. (To be continued.) )
