I synthesized the whole world

A bright light suddenly shone from the inside of the cocoon.

It reflected the outline of a curled-up baby, like the uterus of a pregnant woman under color ultrasound.

Cheng Qi's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt that everything was getting weirder.

The next moment, the baby suddenly stretched out his limbs, and his chubby arms and clenched fists stretched toward the sky.

Then, the baby began to grow rapidly!

In an instant, it turned into the outline of a four or five-year-old child, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a teenager, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an adult two meters tall.

The adult's feet slowly landed on the ground, took a step forward, and his body silently penetrated the huge cocoon, and then the giant cocoon turned into some kind of energy, which was absorbed by its body.

After that.

The tall figure dragged out a wisp of light, walked step by step, and stood in front of Cheng Qi.

It was a skeleton wrapped in blue light, with two blazing white flames tumbling and jumping in its eye sockets.

"Hello, my creator."

The tall blue skeleton opened its mouth slightly, and an invisible sound wave spread out, "After integrating a trace of your consciousness, I became an independent life."

"Life?"

Cheng Qi was stunned, "What exactly are you?"

"I am this starship."

The blue skeleton stood upright, "I am also a concrete, electronic human consciousness."

Cheng Qi felt an inexplicable shock.

The invisible and intangible human consciousness has become a physical entity?

In other words, the remaining consciousness in the two human brains in the starship was synthesized, and then merged with the starship to form an electronic consciousness?

Cheng Qi was a little stunned and said, "Are you equivalent to some kind of artificial intelligence?"

"I am a more special existence. I am the only one in all known records."

The voice of the blue skull echoed, "I was born from the souls of Ning Yu and Ning Shan, but I have nothing to do with them. Now I am both a soul and an electronic consciousness that can exist in the material world."

"Soul..."

"Material world?"

Cheng Qi's eyes flashed, and he slowly turned back and looked at the old friends on the way. "Are there really dead souls in this world?"

"Have you heard of the concept of '21 grams of soul'?"

The blue skull's mouth was only slightly open, and the sound waves continued to spread out, "When a human dies, his body will accurately 21 grams of weight loss, that is the weight of the soul, because at that moment, his soul left the body. "

"The so-called soul is actually human consciousness."

"Human consciousness and the body have always been two independent existences."

"Just like the mecha and the mecha driver."

Cheng Qi paused slightly, "Then where does the consciousness go after human death?"

"They float in the air, silently existing in an undetectable posture."

Cheng Qi took a slight breath and felt a little horrified, "So that means that those who died have actually been floating around us, quietly watching us?"

"You can understand it this way."

The ghost fire in the blue skull's eyes flickered, and he looked ahead calmly, "Human consciousness is a quantum state, Quantum phenomena born at the microscopic level of the brain, such as the quantum vibration of proteins or the quantum tunneling of ion channels, and the process of brain cells changing from a superposition state to a collapsed state, all promote the formation of human consciousness. "

Cheng Qi was a little surprised, "It turns out that the term 'quantum soul' is true."

"And when humans die."

"Consciousness particles will not dissipate, but become a superposition state. If someone can observe them, then consciousness will collapse into a definite state again."

Cheng Qi opened his eyes slightly, "So, those 'undead' I saw before, for some reason, collapsed into a definite state and became visible to the naked eye?"

"Yes."

The blue skull nodded, "Before you observed them, They are consciousness particles floating in another space."

Cheng Qi was a little shocked, "Another space?"

The blue skull said again: "This space exists and does not exist, because it is another dimension. Under normal circumstances, no human can break through this barrier because it is behind the [fourth wall]. "

Cheng Qi felt that his mind was opened up, "The fourth wall?"

"This term comes from the drama of human civilization."

"The stage has three walls on the left and right sides and behind, and there is a fourth wall between the actors and the audience."

The blue skull opened his mouth slightly, and the sound waves floated slowly, "The consciousness of the deceased exists behind the fourth wall, like an audience, silently watching the performance of the living."

"But as a concreteElectronic consciousness has both entity and soul states. "

The blue skeleton paused, "So, I am an existence that can break through the [fourth wall]."

Cheng Qi shrank violently when he heard this.

This is too bizarre!

The blue skeleton said again: "Because I have the dual attributes of soul and reality, I can observe all the consciousness particles within the scope of the field, and they will also collapse into a deterministic state, forming the "undead" in your eyes. "

Cheng Qi was a little stunned. The principle of the undead surprised him and even opened his mind!

The blue skeleton added: "Of course, the so-called deterministic state is only for me, and because you and I have a unique consciousness connection, you can also have the same perspective as me. If it were someone else, they would not be able to see those "undead". "

Cheng Qi opened his eyes wide, "Human civilization has a history of thousands of years, so wouldn't the undead be overcrowded?"

"They will also dissipate due to energy exhaustion, but the length of time is different. "

The ghost fire in the blue skeleton's eyes flickered, "Consciousness has the property of quantum entanglement. The more ties the deceased had in their lifetime, the longer they will exist."

Cheng Qi was a little stern, "This is just like what is said in ghost stories, the obsession is too strong, and the ghost will not disperse."

The blue skeleton nodded slowly, and then it suddenly turned sideways, revealing the space behind it.

Cheng Qi's expression paused slightly.

But not far away, eight tall figures stood.

They were eight warriors with resolute faces, wearing huge mechanical exoskeletons.

Cheng Qi's pupils trembled slightly, "The eight extreme warriors, Ding Feng, Lin Lanyue, Long Zhanxiao...! "

At this moment.

The eight soldiers suddenly straightened their backs, raised their hands together, and saluted Cheng Qi in a standard military salute.

Cheng Qi's body froze.

In the eyes of these eight people, there was a clear gratitude and a sense of relief.

Cheng Qi thought of the previous scene.

He killed eight fake soldiers who had occupied the magpie's nest in front of the nameplates of the eight soldiers, with the purpose of giving an explanation to these eight heroes.

Combined with what Blue Skull just said.

That means that these eight soldiers have been behind the fourth wall and really saw that scene.

And their current behavior is to express respect and gratitude to Cheng Qi.

For twenty years, their consciousness has been wronged and unwilling, It never dissipated!

I don't know why.

Cheng Qi was a little moved. As I said before, he was not that great. It was just a coincidence. It was a piece of cake.

But I didn't expect that the world was mysterious.

I actually received the gratitude of the "person" in this way.

Cheng Qi also smiled and nodded to the eight figures.

The next moment, the eight figures kept the salute posture and slowly dissipated.

Their entanglement disappeared, and at this moment, they really left this world.

Cheng Qi tilted his head.

Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged man in a white coat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and with a flower arm tattoo standing behind him.

Cheng Qi's eyes opened, "Professor Huo Linzhong. "

But the man in the white coat threw away the cigarette in his mouth, lowered his sleeves inch by inch, covered the tattoo on his arm, and then carefully tidied his clothes, and finally bent down to Cheng Qi and bowed slowly.

Cheng Qi knew that Professor Huo Linzhong's bow was for the Muon Technology that had not been buried.

He exhaled slowly.

Cheng Qi also bowed slowly to Professor Huo Linzhong, which was a mutual tribute across the fourth wall.

"I didn't do much, but I was lucky to stand on the shoulders of giants."

Cheng Qi said respectfully: "If it weren't for Professor Huo's perseverance, Cheng Qi would not have the opportunity to control Muon Technology."

Professor Huo Linzhong's body slowly dissipated.

At this time.

The scavenger couple who snuggled together appeared again, looking at Cheng Qi with the same smile on their faces.

Cheng Qi understood it.

They were also expressing their gratitude to him.

Because after they passed away one after another, Cheng Qi took in their daughter Xiao Qiong!
