My Hi-tech Library

"Mr. Li, the escape of the 'Yuan species' creature was beyond our expectations. However, as long as the organizations that it split off are put away, the Mars immigration plan will be suspended. Other than that, it will not cause much impact. "Professor Chen Tianyu judged.

Today, the construction of the Mars base is very mature.

In the ecological space inside the Mars base, which is ten square kilometers, animals and plants from the earth have been living and multiplying in it for several years. Because of the unexpected discovery of underground life on Mars, the immigration plan has been shelved, and it is completely controlled by the artificial intelligence brain. , the operation of various intelligent machinery maintenance bases, scientists can only project to the Mars base through virtual network projection technology.

It was originally planned to consider sending scientists to Mars and the first batch of Martian immigrants after determining the threat level of the life of the 'Abyss' within two or three years.

"Oh! Has the research on 'Abyssal' creatures have definite results?" Li Yi looked at Professor Chen Tao and asked with concern.

Li Yi has always been vigilant about the mysterious and powerful alien creatures like 'Abyssal' creatures.

Among the alien books in the library, Li Yi has seen a lot of alien life, which forms different characteristics according to the elemental substances of different base masters. It's not that there is no such thing as 'abyssal' creatures, they are so huge The size of it is very similar to the 'cosmic star beast' species. However, with the discovery of this unexpected state, they are like another type of aggregate life form.

Professor Chen Tao pondered for a moment and replied, "I haven't obtained its core organization, and I have no accurate results. However, from its life form and genetic structure, it can generally be confirmed that it belongs to a kind of creature with a core consciousness. In layman's terms, , are collectively conscious life composed of 'microbes'."

After a pause, Professor Chen Tao looked around the audience, and then added: "We might as well open up our minds a little bit. When we discovered the 'Abyssal Life', we were attracted by its huge body and thought it was a kind of giant life form. , However, with the progress of the dissection experiment, the cell tissues we obtained are almost all single and simple structures, they are like some seaweed cells, these tissue cells carry a weak electromagnetic signal, biological signal, they It's like being gathered together."

"According to the data obtained from the dissection, the biological signals produced by these cells and tissues can be efficiently transmitted in its huge body, and drive its entire body to carry out various precise activities? It must absorb nutrients and resist damage. , to heal wounds, .

"What can be confirmed is that the tissues separated from the 'abyssal creatures' are still alive and have unconscious activities, such as absorbing nutrients from the surrounding, growing themselves, ..."

...

As Professor Chen Tao said, he called up the holographic screen and called up the anatomical data of the 'abyssal creature' for in-depth analysis.

Professor Chen Tao's explanation and bold assumptions aroused everyone's thinking.

If you want to generate wisdom and self-awareness, can you really only rely on a brain full of nerve cells?

So far, that seems to be the case!

However, this evidence is not sufficient, and human beings do not know the cause of intelligence, nor how self-awareness arises.

Just like the bees in the Kunzhong realm, a term produced in the bee colony is called "bee colony thinking", and the bee colony in a bee hive is like a self-conscious whole.

"Fairy Wood"

The magic of "swarm thinking" is that no single bee can control it, but an invisible hand, a hand that emerges from a multitude of dull members, controls the colony...

There is also the ant colony, the brain specialization phenomenon that occurs with the group division of labor, and constructs a single-cell transcriptome map of the brain covering all the roles of the division of labor in the ant society. Different from human society, social insects develop during development. It shows morphological and physiological differentiation, and finally constitutes a 'group central brain'.

"The same in vivo cell tissue nucleus has the same genetic material, but different somatic cells express different functions. This phenomenon is indeed in line with the characteristics of group life." Professor Wei Hangzhi held his chin in one hand and looked at the holographic screen Realistic experimental data, he pondered.

"Yes, through the study of the gene spectrum of the organization, the spectrum has divided 43 different cell groups, annotated somatic cells (responsible for advanced cognitive functions such as memory), magnetic induction cells (electromagnetic wave information processing), element projection neurons ( Recognition information processing), monoamine nerve cells, and various types of glial cells, ..., they have clear functions, are classified into categories, and aggregate into a 'collective' brain." Professor Chen Tao then clicked into the holographic screen and called out A gene spectrum map is introduced.

"The tiny amounts of electromagnetic waves they emit, aren't the signals going through neurons?"

"What is the structure of the emitting cells of these magnetic wave signals? Curious?"

"The tissue cells that make up the 'yuan species' do not need to communicate with each other, but if they do not communicate, how can they achieve 'collective thinking'?"

...

Professor Chen Tao's analysis aroused questions from the professors, who threw various key questions to him one after another.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi was also helpless. As long as these guys get together, some academic problems will soon turn into an academic discussion meeting.

In the holographic screen, the bio-tracker tracked the target in real time, and several laser excavation vehicles galloped in the underground world, catching up and surrounding it.

"Boom, boom...," The base laboratory shook for a while, and a large number of machines poured out of the Reiser's car, surrounded the escaped 'experimental body' and pursued the blog.

The holographic screen shook for a while, an earthquake of magnitude 8 or 9 occurred in the underground base of Mars, and a fierce battle began in the underground world.

The 'Yuan Seed' creatures that had shrunk in a circle were sturdy, their long tentacles fluttered wildly, rolled up metal machinery and smashed them into a pile of mechanical parts.

"Release liquid nitrogen, release liquid nitrogen quickly!" Seeing this, Professor Chen Tao shouted excitedly.

Soon, laser excavators released the prepared liquid nitrogen reserves, and in an instant, white mist filled the entire underground space, shrouding the 'abyssal creature'.

The temperature of liquid nitrogen is between minus 196 degrees Celsius and minus 210 degrees Celsius. Under this temperature, the 'abyssal creature' gradually loses its vitality, and its body quickly shrinks into a ball, gradually attaching a layer of white cold. Frost.

The scattered mechanical troops moved quickly, threw out a chain of iron, formed an iron net, pocketed it, and several laser cars started at the same time, dragging it back to the ground.

In the base laboratory, a large number of mechanical troops moved into action, and the tissues split from the 'abyssal creatures' were collected and directly put into a high-temperature furnace for melting. The laboratory was replaced by a giant tempered glass enclosed space.

The core of the 'abyssal creature' that escaped and disintegrated had shrunk to about 1% of its original size, and the giant enclosed space made of tempered glass just fit it.

Mo Yue passed an hour, and the laser cars burrowed out of the ground, the mechanical army bee chrysalis climbed up, stretched out giant manipulators to join forces to smash the frozen abyssal creatures, a dark ice peak metal group, Transfer to a closed glass chamber.

With a click, the fifty-centimeter-thick tempered glass door slammed shut, and the temperature of the glass room rose.

"I've finally caught it, so I won't let it run away again!" Sun Bingwen looked at the 'black metal mass' in a frozen state in the glass room, turned to look at Professor Chen Tao, and asked with concern.

"No way! Limbs, its body is too huge to be closed with this kind of glass cage. Now, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the strong glass that is harder than diamond." Professor Chen Tao said confidently.

"Intelligent Brain, start heating and defrosting it now, I want to 'communicate' with it!" After speaking, Professor Chen Tao looked at the holographic screen and instructed Zhinao at the Mars base.

"Okay, Professor Chen!" Mars Zhinao-Xiaoxi answered the order.

The next moment, the small holes around the closed tempered glass cage began to deliver high-temperature airflow, the temperature in the tempered glass cage continued to rise, and the frost on the surface of Yuan Seed's life was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Communication? Has it been confirmed that Yuan species life is wise? Is its IQ high!" Li Yi looked at Professor Chen Tao and asked with concern.

"Mr. Li, I was afraid that it would cause too much movement. The experiment has always been carried out in its dormant state. We have not 'communicated'. However, it can escape from the cage as soon as it wakes up, which has proved that it is wise. Yes, and the level of wisdom is still low!" Professor Chen Tao turned his head and responded to Li Yidao.

After finishing speaking, Professor Chen Tao turned his head, stared at the core of the 'abyssal creature' who was about to regain consciousness, and said excitedly: "I think this 'abyssal creature' is still in its most ignorant primary stage. It has not yet formed. Complete world view, no strong self-awareness, but very sensitive to judgment of danger, . . . "

"It didn't even invent language or writing...because the entire race has only one consciousness, and it doesn't need these things. As we all know, the formation of self-consciousness actually requires social communication. It may have wisdom, but wisdom does not arise out of thin air. , may have to communicate with other people in a wide range to gradually emerge, but although these 'abyssal creatures' have other individuals, they are often dormant, so the frequency of their communication is extremely low, and the evolution of civilization is extremely slow."

Listening to Professor Chen Tao's introduction, all the experts and professors present hesitated a little, watching the 'abyssal creature' fell into thinking, no one commented, they all have their own scientific research projects, no one knows the 'abyssal life' better than Professor Chen Tao. '.

Now, the life of the Yuan species is about to wake up, and the first communication between humans and alien civilizations may be about to start.

Whether the Yuan species have wisdom, how long have they survived on Mars, whether they have their own civilization, ..., all the mysteries may be revealed.

"Old Chen, in what way do you 'communicate' with it?" Zhou Shuzhi asked with concern.

Professor Chen Tianyu smiled and introduced: "They are very sensitive to electromagnetic waves. Before, I didn't find their analog signals, but I could communicate with them through electromagnetic wave analog signals."

As soon as Professor Chen Tianyu finished speaking, a signal engineering vehicle drove directly to the tempered glass cage.

With the passage of time, the 'abyssal life' in the glass cage gradually moved, and the slender tentacles slowly moved.

Suddenly, the 'Yuan Seed Life' regained consciousness and found that he was imprisoned, and countless tentacles were struggling fiercely.

"Bang bang..." One after another hit the tempered glass wall like a long whip, the ground shook, and the reaction was extremely fierce.

The 'Abyssal Life' came to life, it was like a black soft-bodied octopus, and like a mass of black liquid metal, dozens of dark and slender long whip tentacles beat fiercely, and there was a piece of fast tissue on the body. , kept falling off from it, and the pieces that fell off turned into lumps of viscous liquid, looking everywhere for a gap to escape from the cage.

The glass cage is impregnable, and no matter how hard the 'Yuan Seed Life' struggles, it won't help.

Professor Chen Tao got excited, looked at the base Zhinao on the holographic screen, and instructed: "Intelligent Brain~www.readwn.com~ sends an electromagnetic analog signal to communicate with it, telling it not to struggle, it can't escape."

"Okay, Professor Chen!" The brain at the Mars base responded to the order, and the next moment, the electromagnetic wave signal transmitter released a similar analog signal wave to the 'abyssal life'.

The next moment, the 'Yuan Seed Life' on the holographic screen froze, and dozens of tentacles stood up, as if shocked, like a cat with fried fur. A big cake face was exposed by the tentacles. A dense group of compound eyes stared at the electromagnetic wave generator.

"Mr. Li, Professor Chen, excited to receive a group of electromagnetic signal waves, and they are interpreting the signal waves. The interpretation is successful. 95% of the content belongs to a set of mathematical languages!" The Mars Base Zhinao responded.

The next moment, the holographic screen displayed a series of mathematical symbols.

Mathematical language: including abstract mathematical language and intuitive mathematical language, including mathematical concepts, terms, symbols, formulas, graphics, etc. Mathematical language can be divided into three categories: literal language, symbolic language, and graphic language.

Various forms of mathematical languages ​​have their own advantages, such as strict definition of concepts and revealing of essential properties. The terms are introduced into science and nature, the system is complete and standardized, the symbols are concise, easy to write, and express mathematical content in a concentrated manner.

Mathematical language, as the basic component of mathematical theory, has "high abstraction, strict logic, and extensive application". Simply put, mathematics language science, concise, general.

This series of mathematical languages ​​on the holographic screen, translated into Chinese, expresses several meanings: "Who are you? Why are you imprisoning me, what do you want to go! Where are you from,..."

Seeing this group of mathematical languages, the spirits of everyone at the scene were lifted.
