metaverse evolution.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was dark;
In Hongcheng, in order to save energy, there are few and dim lights in the city.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the new villa, seven live corpses whose heads had been beheaded stood in front of Chu Fei. The Feathered Snake crawled around beside Chu Fei, rising into the sky from time to time and setting off gusts of sinister wind. swaying.

What a cozy underworld picture...

Chu Fei stood still, but after only ten seconds, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out hundreds of crystal nuclei of different sizes from the large backpack at his feet, and at the same time ordered the Feathered Serpent through the chip to swallow the crystal nuclei slowly, I want to observe.

When the crystal core appeared, the seven headless zombies tied in front were also struggling.

However, perhaps because of the lack of a head, the struggle was not very strong, and there was no sound - at least there was no roar like a normal corpse.

Looking at the seven living corpses in front of him, Chu Fei's eyes shone with a strange excitement.Well, that's the spirit of scientific research flickering.

At this moment, Chu Fei divided the computing power of the Cosmic Brain into two parts, one part was to observe the changes in the feathered snake's swallowing of crystal nuclei and this process, and at the same time to study the changes in the feathered snake's body parameters through the chip in the feathered snake's body;

One part was studying the body structure of the seven living corpses, and remembered the bug Jin Haishan said.

Chu Fei has already seen the situation of living corpses that have their heads chopped off and can still survive.But in that case, it is purely that the living corpse has not been completely transformed, and the living corpse virus in the body has not yet differentiated.

This situation is also reflected in normal organisms.

For example, during the development of an embryo, if a part is cut off, the embryo can still develop into a "living" individual - it can only be said to be alive, but the integrity does not need to be described.

The same is true for the primary living corpses. Cutting off the head part during the development process will lead to the development of imbecile children.

But for mature living corpses, it is rare to be able to cut off their heads and still be alive.

And Chu Fei was very interested in this kind of living corpse. At first, he collected these things in the spirit of research, and planned to dissect one or two to see.

But after Jin Haishan explained, Chu Fei became more interested and caught more.

why?
Because it involves the "sub-brain" of the human body.

Some people will say that human beings only have one brain, where is the sub-brain? Are you talking nonsense.

But in fact, human beings really have a sub-brain!

Vice-brain is a description, not a real academic term.

In the chest and abdomen of the human body, there are a large number of complex neural structures that can assist and even control the work of the internal organs of the human body. These complex neural structures form a combination with similar brain functions, connected to the brain through the vagus nerve.

The accessory brain is an important organ of the human body and is even closely related to the human mind, especially emotions.

Anger hurts the liver, sadness hurts the lungs, anger hurts the heart, thoughts hurts the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys. A considerable part of the reason is that the accessory brain is at work - controlling the operation of the internal organs.

The accessory brain was originally derived from the "ventral brain", which is a strong evidence of the evolution of life.

Some primitive organisms, such as tubular worms, do not have brain structures, and they can only rely on the neural structures in the abdomen to regulate their bodies, eat, excrete, etc.This can be seen as the origin of the belly brain.

As life continues to evolve, the structure of life becomes more and more complex, and the abdominal brain can no longer carry the "computing power requirements" of life. The central nervous system (spinal nervous system) gradually appears, and eventually the end of the central nervous system expands, which may be evolution or distortion. Brain structure emerges.

At this point, the biological foundation for the birth of human beings was laid.

Later, in the human body, and even in many large animals or mammals (mainly mammals with complex structures and many physical skills), the physiological structure of the brain and parabrain is finally formed.

By the way, Chu Fei thought of the distortion of Wu Yong's abdomen - that strange face;

I also thought of Xing Tian in myths and legends, and the headless ghost in ghost stories, etc.;

Perhaps among these things, there is a miracle of life-the auxiliary brain is activated!

Seeing these headless corpses now, Chu Fei was tempted.

What if I could activate the vice brain?

Even if the computing power of the secondary brain is only one tenth of that of the brain, it is terrifying.According to the boxer theory, even if it is only increased by 5%, it may form a crushing effect.

In fact, the accessory brain can maintain the operation of the internal organs, provide the initial evolutionary power for life, and maintain the vital activities of the human body. Its computing power should not be underestimated.

It's just that the vice brain has been contributing silently, and it's easy for everyone to ignore this little transparency.

In addition, the sub-brain also has a terrifying ability - all year round!
The heart, liver and lungs that I have never heard of need to rest.This thing can run to the end of its life.

Of course, the accessory brain can also go wrong, which can lead to cardiac arrest, sleep apnea, etc.; or Jin Akang, who is unable to maintain his heart, liver, and lungs due to overload operation, develops internal diseases.

Chu Fei suddenly had a thought: If the computing power and vitality of the accessory brain could be enhanced (overclocked), could abdominal and internal organ diseases be cured without medication?

Thinking about the treatment methods of Chinese medicine, it seems that a considerable part is related to this.

But as soon as this thought flashed, it was temporarily thrown aside by Chu Fei.

The most important thing now is to expose the living corpse in front of him, and try to find the so-called bug and the cause of the bug.

But where is this a bug? It's obviously going too fast.

Is the distortion of Wu Yong's abdomen similar to that of a living corpse?
Although the distortion of the abdomen is of course terrifying, what is even more terrifying is the fear of stopping.

I, Chu Fei, am definitely not that kind of person!
I want to face up to the difficulties and find the reason for this change fundamentally!

Five minutes later, in the temporary shed in the courtyard of the villa, Chu Fei easily dissected a living corpse.

For Chu Fei, anatomy and so on are old skilled workers.

When I was studying big data overwriting and the control and damage of weak animals, I used to dissect small animals frantically.

As a person who aspires to become an awakener of scientific research, dissection is a necessary skill.

At this moment, Chu Fei shielded his breathing, put an end to the unique rancid smell of the living corpse, and carefully observed the chest structure of the living corpse.

After observing for a while, Chu Fei flew out again, caught a normal living corpse after a while, and then directly dissected it... um... I don't know if a living corpse is considered a living body.

After that, Chu Fei carefully compared the chests of the two living corpses, and found that the peritoneum, intestinal membrane, liver capsule, pericardium and other membrane structures in the abdominal cavity of the living corpses that can still move after their heads were chopped off were obviously thickened. On the nodes, mainly where the neurons are dense, there is an abnormal increase.

These abnormally enlarged structures look like "spider joints", but in fact they are the structures of the nerve centers, and they also look like small "heart networks".

After further dissection, it was found that the liver part had the most obvious changes, and some structures similar to cranial nerves were found on the surface of the liver.

Chu Fei continued to dissect it tirelessly. After dawn, the originally beautiful villa had turned into a Shura field.A total of 14 corpses were laid out, including seven normal corpses and seven headless corpses.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Chu Fei asked Feathered Snake to open the door.

The deputy city lord Feng Yiming came in, but stopped at the door.Looking at the terrifying scene in the yard, the corners of Feng Yiming's mouth twitched, completely speechless.

After a while of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Last night, someone complained about your place, saying that it smells bad."

Chu Fei smiled, didn't say anything, didn't even apologize much, just smiled briefly.

This is the end of the world, the weak should shut up for me.I have researched these things, and they may be useful to you too, and they can increase your "survival rate"!
Feng Yiming carefully looked at the traces of the autopsy, and then forgot about the complaints, and got serious, "Are you studying living corpses?"

Chu Fei nodded, speaking heavily: "During the battle last night, I had a guess, and it should be basically confirmed today."

"Oh?" Feng Yiming narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said: "Do you suspect that the Living Corpse Queen uses her abdomen to survive?"

Chu Fei glanced at Feng Yiming calmly, and it was easy to talk to smart people, and it was easy to understand.

But Chu Fei still said a little bit of his guess:

The Lucheng Thunder that I saw last year, since it came to kill the empress of the living corpses, it should have succeeded. The outbreak of the tide of living corpses last year should be a manifestation of the loss of control of the living corpses.

But now the tide of living corpses is orderly again, obviously because there is a "commander" behind it, it should be impossible to give birth to a new living corpse empress in a year, the biggest possibility is that the original living corpse empress has not fully recovered. die.

After more than a year of panting, the empress of the living corpse came back to life.

And to be able to do this, there is a high probability that the empress of the living corpse has activated the "sub-brain", and after the "brain" was smashed, she came back to life by relying on the sub-brain!
This kind of situation sounds a bit unbelievable, but in this apocalyptic world full of mutations, it is only natural!

Think about the two-headed wolf that Chu Fei encountered before, even if the brain is smashed, as long as the brain stem is intact, it can be "resurrected".

In fact, life has too many miracles, or life itself is a big miracle; under this big miracle, it seems natural that there are many small miracles.

Suddenly Chu Fei had a little realization: As an awakened person who aspires to become a super awakened person with a scientific research orientation, his thinking must not be restricted by the so-called "common sense".

In this technologically based, mutated apocalypse, there is no real common sense!
Variation and unexpectedness are the eternal themes.

Chu Fei and Feng Yiming discussed for a while across the dissected living corpse, and then Feng Yiming asked Chu Fei to prepare for the formal discussion of the cooperation plan between Hongcheng, Feihucheng and Heitiecheng in the afternoon, and then Feng Yiming said goodbye in a hurry.

After a while, Feng Yiming appeared in the big conference room in Hongcheng, presenting Chu Fei's research results and conjectures.

…………

After Feng Yiming left, Chu Fei looked at the dissected living corpses and began to think again.

In the communication just now, Chu Fei had a new idea.

The structure of the liver is as complex as the brain, and its structure is also very similar to the brain;
In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is called the "general's officer", and in medicine, the liver is likened to the second brain of the human body.

It can be said that the body's metabolites, pH, chemical substances, detoxification, nutrient transformation, sugar and fat decomposition, etc., are basically responsible for the liver, or most of it.

The function of the liver to the brain in the human body is much like the graphics card chip GPU in the computer chip is to the central processing unit cpu chip.

Chu Fei knew that in the middle and later stages of computer technology development, graphics chips began to take the lead in the field of big data computing, and finally in some big data fields, graphics chips swallowed up CPUs, and finally developed vpus, npus, tpus, etc. The re-core processor has expanded computer performance to new areas and achieved a qualitative leap.

Well, the fusion of cpu and gpu is a bit far away.

Let’s just say that the GPU has developed to the middle and late stages, because of its super large number of cores, it far exceeds the CPU in the field of hardware computing acceleration!When dealing with simple and repetitive parallel computing tasks, the efficiency can reach dozens or hundreds of times that of CPU!
Let alone the liver and brain.The small unit structure in the liver also far exceeds the unit in the brain.

Those who have eaten pork liver may find that pork liver has many small particles, which are all small unit structures.

In fact, the structure of the liver is really similar to that of the GPU.

Therefore, the "auxiliary brain" in the abdomen can completely take the liver as the core, directional strengthening and transformation, and mutate into the second brain of the awakened person!

If it could be done and the nerve structures of the liver and abdomen were fused, then this second brain would be three to four times the size of the brain.

If it is used to handle some simple computing tasks, it can completely replace the brain; and the brain is freed from simple tasks and dedicated to complex tasks.

Unintentionally, Chu Fei discovered the door to the new world.

Although Chu Fei had never heard of other awakened beings doing this, the road of awakening itself is the road of scientific research, crossing the river by feeling the stones, pioneering and innovating.

As far as the energy bypass system in the body is concerned, no one else has done it.It was also Chu Fei who tried it first, and it turned out to be a miracle.

Because Liu Tingyun also built an energy bypass system in his body, with a cultivation base of 8.0, he was able to get rid of the pursuit of the "old" Shaocheng Zhang Han; you must know that Zhang Han's cultivation base exceeds 9.0, and he is still an old brand that has broken through for more than 30 years. Master!

Chu Fei's eyes became brighter.But calm down immediately, if you want to activate the sub-brain, you need a lot of research and technical information, which is not something you can do now.

When the energy bypass system was turned on, there was also a reference to the human energy model.This time there was nothing.

The most important thing now is to break through 9.0!

However, Chu Fei still took out a small notebook, and solemnly wrote down a new research project on it - vice brain and liver.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. In this notebook, Chu Fei has recorded several research topics:
1 Big data overwrites and controls low-level beasts

2 power of mind
3 Shark scale gene data
4 The third wind of perception

5 magic energy, life energy, energy bypass system

6 infrared eagle eye spell

7 Cosmic Brain, Big Data Structures, and Octal Programming
8 Pharmacy Drugs
9 Directly devour crystal nuclei (feather snake)
Now a tenth article has been added: accessory brain and liver.

After thinking about it, Chu Fei added two more pieces of information after the tenth article, which finally became:

10 brains, livers, zombies, GPUs
But there's always something missing.

After thinking about it, Chu Fei added two more things:

11 Weapon Designs
12 butterfly transformation spells (including regeneration ability)

13 Solving thinking
Weapon design is the most important thing. The most important reason why human beings can easily leapfrog to fight alien beasts and living corpses is various technological weapons.

As for the Butterfly Transformation spell and solving thinking, needless to say, they are absolute secret weapons and life-saving skills. (end of this chapter)
