The world enters the age of mythology.

However, this world is too dangerous, and the food is too poor, and the faster the reproduction speed, the better.

This is an instinct rooted in genes.

Slowly, slowly, this worm named Jin Baobao developed the ability of rapid metabolism. Except for stones that cannot be digested, it can eat leaves, wood and even metal.

But this is still not enough, far from enough.

There are too many natural enemies in this world, and none of them can survive, so the "golden babies" want to protect themselves by spitting out tougher cocoons through evolution.

Of course, the IQ of these bugs is not high, they just have the primitive instinct brought by this gene, every time before they turn into butterflies, they will constantly spin silk, trying to wrap themselves more tightly.

Generation after generation, generation after generation...

Time is passing fast... It may be millions of years, or it may be hundreds of millions of years.Finally one day, the bugs seemed to have succeeded!

Their spinning silk has become extremely tough, and few natural enemies can kill them.

"Hmm... what's the situation? A strange belief? A superpower intertwined with beliefs..."

Lu Yiming shook his head heavily and regained his sanity.

He couldn't figure out why this piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was still a little dizzy until now.

"In the idealistic world... the origin of superpowers?"

He swallowed, feeling that he had discovered a great secret.

But it's not appropriate to say it directly here. He planned to discuss it with Professor Huang after the meeting.

"Dr. Fang, isn't this kind of fast-reproducing bug dangerous?" Another questioned, "For example, eating a hole in our deck? Don't they eat metal and reproduce quickly? If If our Cloud Sea is eaten, it will be finished!"

"Yes, your worry is not unreasonable. There is such a possibility. But the benefits of these bugs currently far outweigh the dangers. It only eats plants and metals, and basically does not eat greasy meat. They Your digestive system can't process silica either."

"In addition, Jin Baobao doesn't like to move, and its exercise ability is quite limited, so as long as it is controlled in a glass box and centralized breeding, there is basically no problem."

The ordinary silk thread produced by Jin Baobao has a large output, which can be used as raw materials for clothing. As long as a small amount of cotton is planted, it can meet the clothing needs of the people.

This is quite good. Originally, the reserves of fabrics in the Sea of ​​Clouds were not sufficient.More exquisite clothing can improve everyone's quality of life.

The strength and stability of the metal wire are quite good, and it can even be melted and re-forged, which can be regarded as the most top-level metal material for human beings.

It is a good choice for making body armor and combat uniforms.

"We will soon discover a new continent, and protective clothing made of new materials will better protect the lives of soldiers."

After feeding various alloys, the properties of the spit out materials have yet to be explored, but even so, it is enough to make the majority of scientific researchers feel strong interest.

"Hey, I'm so ashamed. Our best material is actually no match for a worm cultivated by an ancient civilization... How embarrassing is this? Nanomaterials that could not be produced before are actually spit out from the worm's mouth." The old professor of materials touched his forehead, feeling a little ashamed.

"It can't be said in the same way. Whether there is supernatural power or not, the two cannot be directly compared."

"...I hope to discover a new field."

After the meeting this time, many experts were still discussing with unfinished business.

A suspected new continent, a large number of new materials to be developed, two good news...

Chapter 147 The Law of Idealism

After all, the Sea of ​​Clouds is still a technological society, superstition is not serious, and technological progress can bring benefits to the entire civilization, which is naturally what everyone is happy to see.

After Lu Yiming left the conference room, he hurriedly found Professor Huang and told the secret he had discovered.

"What? You said you found the special information on the monster?" After hearing the whole story, Lao Huang was at a loss: "There is also information on it? What is this... a special power of faith?"

He sat on the stool and thought for a long time, and said, "Either you try again, and your mind is attached to another thread. Be careful, and if something goes wrong, you will immediately return it."

"Wait a moment, I'll go get some samples."

He hurried out of his office, and after about 10 minutes, he took a lot of silk threads, golden, silver, and bronze threads, all kinds of threads.

It seems that there are already quite a few finished products in the biological laboratory.

Lu Yiming used his thoughts to possess them one by one. Sure enough, about one-fifth to one-tenth of these threads carried such a brief message, and at the same time attached a tiny supernatural power.

In addition, if there is no silk thread with supernatural power, the quality and quality will be quite different.

"The production capacity of metal wires with supernatural powers doesn't seem to be very high..." Lu Yiming thought to himself.

After the "Golden Baby" devours metals, its growth rate is far slower than that of devouring plants.Devouring plants can mature silk in ten days, but devouring metal takes one or two months. The output of metal threads is not high, and only one-fifth of the items have supernatural properties, and the production capacity is even lower.

"Professor Huang, is the appearance of supernatural phenomena related to this strange piece of information?"

This is a big concern for him.

Huang Mingming frowned: "This superpower of yours is a bit strange. Mind possession can detect these things. Why have our scientific instruments never been able to detect these strange information... Maybe your superpower is not It can be simply attributed to the ability of the natural department."

"Forget it, don't worry about it. After listening to your explanation, I have a guess. It may be a kind of idealism that makes these silk threads have superpowers."

Lu Yiming wondered, "Is it the power composed of pure belief?"

Professor Huang thought for a while again: "Before the S-class disaster broke out on the earth, I didn't put forward a set of theories: our world is falling from materialism to idealism. The more chaotic human society is, the more suspicious the world is." Bigger, the faster the whole world will fall."

"Now that we are in the Yang River, the whole world is half materialistic and half idealistic."

"Many physical experiments have proved this point. Some physical constants fluctuate around normal values, so that conventional technology cannot continue to study in depth, but most of the original technology systems can still function."

Professor Huang stretched out two fingers: "In other words, in our current environment, two sets of rule systems can have an impact on the operation of the world. One is our original materialistic system, and the other is an idealistic system."

"The materialistic system, that is, the four basic forces, strong interaction, weak interaction, electromagnetic force and gravity, without these rules, it is impossible to form our current world."

Lu Yiming nodded, "Yes, without these, the world would immediately collapse."

"The ideal system refers to a new system: the core point of view is that the thinking of life can produce a series of changes to the operation of the world. You can simply think that a new force has emerged , this new system is also our current research focus.”

"As a kind of insect, these golden babies also have very simple thinking ability, and their thinking scope is limited to survival and reproduction. Therefore, under the long-term evolution, the accumulation of spiritual energy slowly makes their silk spit out have supernatural ability. This is A manifestation of spiritual power."

Lu Yiming asked suspiciously: "According to what you say, I think I will live forever, and if I have such a firm belief, I will really live forever?"

"You think too simple, but the reality is not that simple!"

Speaking of academic issues, Professor Huang himself is still very serious. He waved his hand and said seriously: "First of all, you have to be clear that in this world, the law of materialism is still in effect, and the cells in your body are still in effect. It will age, there is still gravitational force between matter and matter, and repulsion will occur when the nuclei are too close together, these physical phenomena still exist and will not disappear for no reason."

"Haven't you noticed that superpowers that completely violate the laws of physics are actually very rare. In other words, it is actually very difficult to use the ideal system to construct phenomena that are completely repelled by the old rules."

Speaking of this, Lao Huang rubbed his chin: "Well... the monster that completely violates the laws of physics may be the mobile phone with infinite energy. It violates the principle of energy conservation, but it is quite a remarkable thing. Other monsters Superpowers are all on the sidelines, and it is impossible to completely violate the laws of physics."

"It's just a pity. That mobile phone is suddenly useless. It's a pity."

Lu Yiming's body tightened and he didn't speak. It seems that the ceramic villain Hong Mama is still very awesome.

Lao Huang didn't notice Lu Yiming's expression, and said to himself: "Second point, if you want to use the ideal rules to construct the rules you want, you may need a lot of life and a lot of thinking energy."

"It takes a long, long time to create a new rule. The more complicated the rule, the longer it will take."

"It's useless for you to think that you can live forever, because the population is too small, and the changes to the universe are too small to have almost no effect. If the people of the entire earth collectively think that you can live forever, the power of generation may be It's a little bit possible... It's even possible that a large number of lives in the entire multiverse are needed to generate this collective consensus, so that you can really fight against the laws of physics and achieve true immortality."

"I wouldn't be surprised if nonsensical things like magic and cultivating immortals really appeared in Yanghe. Because that's the consensus of countless lives in the entire multiverse. The thinking of countless lives has changed this universe. "

"That's it... okay." Lu Yiming frowned: "If we follow this statement, the population of our Yunhai is only 16, which seems useless. Even if we collectively believe in controllable nuclear fusion, there is no way to instantly complete the technique."

Chapter 148 Cultural resonance

Professor Huang sighed: "Yes, people's thinking is the most difficult to change, and it is also uncontrollable. If you tell them that controlled nuclear fusion will be completed soon, it will cause more doubts. It's meaningless."

"I think, the stronger the spiritual power, the more likely it will involve the multiverse level, especially those worlds with a large population that have not erupted in disasters. So it is really useless for us as individuals. "

"Then what should we do? What else is there to study..."

Professor Huang said with a smile: "We can't create it, but it doesn't prevent us from using the existing ideal rules."

"For example, the bronze knife you brought back is an example. The material level is quite ordinary. It's just ordinary bronze. It's nothing special. But it's extraordinarily hard, cutting iron like mud. There is a layer of fine texture carvings, which are the cicada wing runes. You know, these texture carvings bring supernatural power, as long as we engrave it on other metals, we can also master this supernatural power."

"Don't ask why, it's just like that. The idealistic rule itself is inexplicable and not necessarily completely logical."

Lu Yiming nodded. Of course, he also studied the bronze knife he brought back.

As long as the surface texture is completely restored and carved on other tools, it is equivalent to human beings mastering a supernatural power again!

Regarding the cicada wing rune, it is also the current key research direction.

Lu Yiming is about to make a rune knife of his own.

Professor Huang seemed to be enjoying the conversation, and said to himself: "Then, have you ever thought about how this kind of grain that can make metal harder and sharper is produced?"

"I think it is in the multiverse that some ancient civilizations regard it as a spiritual totem."

"Or maybe the cultures of various civilizations have resonated."

"Yes, don't we have some novels about cultivating immortals? What about refining tools, runes, etc. Writing and reading novels is also a kind of thinking... Maybe other civilizations have similar novels about cultivating immortals? In this way, The whole multiverse resonates."

"Most people read novels just for fun, but there are also a small number of secondary patients who really believe it. They think about creating spells and the like every day."

"Over time, the cultures of countless civilizations have intersected. Somewhere in the multiverse, these inexplicable lines were really born. As long as these lines are engraved on it, the knife will become harder and sharper."

Lu Yiming rubbed his nose, not knowing what to complain about: "There are novels in parallel worlds...it sounds reasonable, but it's also a bit strange..."

"But how did superpowers come about? Is it also the intersection of thought and culture?"

"I don't know about this... It may be a loophole in the rules of the universe, or it may be something else. Hey, there are too many questions. Sometimes, I am a little confused."

Lao Huang's brain is too big, he can write fantasy novels, but these things can only be regarded as conjectures at best, not real.Unless human beings come into contact with a large number of civilizations from parallel worlds and obtain various evidences, they will be able to hammer the truth.

What did Lu Yiming think of again: "According to your assumption, if a certain myth and legend is widely circulated in multiple civilized worlds, then it is very likely that the myth and legend actually appeared in a certain remote area?"

Professor Huang nodded and said: "Theoretically, it is like this... For example, if you encounter legendary creatures such as Phoenix, Shenlong, Pixiu, and Bai Ze, don't be surprised. But they are not necessarily imaginary creatures, maybe Unconscious, like a robot..."

"What is certain is that the greater the contradiction with the laws of physics, the lower the probability of its occurrence. Strange things like the Eastern Emperor's Bell, Zhu Xianjian, and the Jade Butterfly that can destroy the world may also Existence? If you can get one, you can simply run across the entire universe... Hehehe, isn’t it interesting, maybe we can pick one up on the road? Haha, it would be great if this is the case !"

Seeing Lao Huang falling into paranoia, Lu Yiming complained: "Professor Huang, are you a fan of fantasy novels... I heard that you have been studying "Shan Hai Jing" all this time?"

"Fiction is just a hobby, don't think too much about it. I like to read the novel of the first eternity recently, I recommend you to read it..." Professor Huang seemed to have been told about his peculiar hobby, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, your How small a unit can superpowers possess at most, and how is the control precision trained?"

Lu Yiming frowned and thought for a while: "Everything that the eyes can see can be possessed, and the maximum volume does not exceed 1 cubic meter. With the help of a microscope, it can barely reach 0.001 mm. I have not slackened my training for a while... ..."

As he spoke, the metal wire in his hand was suspended, twisting back and forth like an earthworm.

"It's very convenient to control, even more convenient than using your hands. It's as if your whole body has become a wire. If you use your hands, you can't do these flexible movements."

Professor Huang said happily: "0.001 mm? There is progress, hurry up and make the rune knife. We may soon reach the New World. If there is a battle, this sharp weapon will definitely help!"

"Um...no problem." Lu Yiming nodded.

This small knife was made by himself, and of course it is also his own. It was agreed upon at the beginning.

He followed Professor Huang, put on protective clothing, and walked into this clean laboratory, where many craftsmen were working intently. When they saw Lu Yiming, they raised their heads and smiled as a greeting.

After such a long contact, everyone is already familiar with it.These brilliant engineers are designing blueprints in their workshops, and many new machines on the Yunhai are designed and manufactured by them.The current key project is the electric arc furnace for scrap steel recycling. Human beings need enough metal to feed the golden baby and produce enough spinning silk.

Lu Yiming sat down in front of an experimental instrument.

For this trick knife, the remaining workload is only about 5 hours.If you really want to explore the New World, Lu Yiming has a high probability of participating. With this rune knife, you will have an extra layer of life protection.

"Only for success, not for failure!"

He took a deep breath, moved the extremely slender dropper, and slowly carved on the blade...

……

Chapter 149 Discover the New World!

Just when Lu Yiming was in a busy state, the military's investigation preparations were ready, and four large drones set off from the Yunhai to search in all directions.

The size of this military drone is 4 meters long, the length of the wings reaches 6 meters, and the effective endurance time is 18 hours.

It needs precious fuel to fly, and its performance and reconnaissance capabilities are naturally not comparable to small civilian toys.

Strategic materials such as fuel oil are extracted from petroleum, and there is no way to replenish them on a large scale. If they are used, they will be used less.So everybody has big expectations for these drones.

Scientists are working on ways to use vegetable oils to make high-calorific fuel in small batches.However, this technology has not been developed for a while.

All in all, without satellite navigation, military drones dare not travel too far. The current maximum range is about 600 kilometers. Once the signal is lost, it will never fly back.

If you really lost a drone because of getting lost or other reasons, the Yunhai military will feel sorry for half a month... because you can't make up for it if you lose it!

In this way, three days passed quickly, and the results of the investigation seemed to be going well. The big news was the good news in the tone: in the southwest direction of the current route, about 400 kilometers away, the Yanghe river can be seen borderline!
