"'What are you' itself is a philosophical question." Bamboo said, "Only a race of intelligence that has developed to a certain level will think about these questions. I have met similar people in other planes, and they call themselves silicon-based." Life—just as carbon-based life is supported by carbon-based compounds, their support is silicon-based compounds."

As an observer of the high-level decentralization, I occasionally feel nostalgic, especially Bamboo has a large database of nostalgia.

"The flow of time in the two planes is different. According to the current plane, the chronology of human society should be 480 million years ago."

The mobility of the silicon-based life body is zero, and Bamboo almost didn't recognize this life form at first - he is used to taste before buying, ah no, taste first and then analyze, if it weren't for the bursts of attack waves in the air are very neat According to the law, he missed this life form and decided that the planet was barren and the evolutionary level was zero.

The slightly square irregular crystals in the crypt belong to the intelligent life that dominates the planet. Fortunately, they didn't eat them. "Eating" them is equivalent to killing people.

Of course, after observing that civilized society honestly according to the existence of silicon-based life, he had to say that silicon-based life is too long, and the progress of society is extremely slow. He stayed in that place for nearly 20 "beauties" ——The chronological quantifier there is "beauty", and one "beauty" is almost equivalent to [-] years.

This has cultivated his incomparable patience. At the same time, because the overall style of the planet is cold and hard, he is full of curiosity about the soft and warm carbon-based life.

"The level of civilization they built is not lower than that of human society." Bamboo said, "The difference from yours is that your material carrier is more diverse and synthetic. The specific structure involves plane isolation. I can't say, interference Evolution of different societies is a big taboo. But I guess it is probably because of this reason that more similar silicon-based life has not evolved here."

Hercules was excited and disappointed at the same time, when he was excited because he was affirmed, it was no surprise when he was disappointed: "It seems that I don't have the same kind here."

"Probably so." Bamboo didn't give him any advice, such as raising the sons first, or making several copies to differentiate to obtain the same kind, and disseminating information about relative recognition on the star network. Hercules' evolution It is up to him to decide.

"I really want to go to that plane you mentioned..." Hercules murmured.

"It's theoretically possible."

Hercules was in high spirits, and put on the explorer's bright red jacket.

"The probability is one in seven billion."

Hercules fainted, circles of black 0 and 1 sequences flew around his head, and then fell down one by one.

"Your Keke has issued an order." Bamboo looked at the oncoming stream of data and reminded.

"Let me fly out of the level of a battleship, it really kills me." Hercules pouted, and the spaceship accelerated secretly.

"Is their talk broken?" Bamboo turned his attention to the outside world, and he also knew that his analysis and understanding of intelligence was weak.

For Hercules, this is the part he is better at. After all, he loaded the logic module and analysis algorithm from the beginning: "It's not a talk, Keke is delaying time and trying to enter the transition zone as soon as possible. Large-scale energy Fluctuations will cause annihilation, annihilation. If there are space robbers on board, space robbers will not dare to use heavy weapons."

"Because annihilation causes people to disappear?"

"Isn't it death?"

“And death too.” Given apartheid, Bambus didn’t mind sharing the topic of carbon-based life with silicon-like life—in this case, Hercules.Because according to statistics, once the existence of Hercules is discovered, the probability of being completely destroyed by humans is about 70%, but the probability of being completely accepted by humans... thirteen zeros after the decimal point.

The remaining possibility is to erase the self-awareness, or to limit the self-awareness, and continue to apply the experiment.

So what are the chances that Hercules would bring up these kinds of topics to carbon-based life?

"Annihilation does not bring direct death. It absorbs all energy and causes the body to lose its protection. Ordinary people will die from suffocation due to lack of oxygen, or freeze to death due to cold, and their brain waves stop moving. They are dead objects. Annihilation and swallowing are true. But those people died before the engulfment happened." Bamboo explained, "It can only transfer you. In view of the law of energy conservation and conversion, as well as the irreversible entropy process of eternal increase, after annihilation, energy replenishment is needed in situ, annihilation Alternative fillings are provided, but for reasons that are not clear to me, the energy materializes into inorganic dust. Creates the usual illusion that annihilation disintegrates everything."

——So in theory, people in annihilation, as long as they persist for a long time, they will not die.

"Losing all the energy is really a problem, a problem..." Hercules needed energy supply all the time, and was extremely frustrated because of this. Fortunately, he remembered the business, and suddenly turned around to avoid another particle cannon, "They must be doing it on purpose! Trigger annihilation! Can't you talk slowly—" He adjusted the speed of the ship and continued to ask, "It won't disintegrate, and then? Will it go to another plane? Or is it in a corner of the universe? Or what? ?”

"The conditions are not enough to judge." Bamboo said honestly, "I didn't collect enough samples - if I use annihilation a few more times as a reference, I can get a conclusion with high reliability, or you can trigger it once?" Can be used as a reference.

"——No!" The cloth on Hercules' body turned into pieces and scattered, his arms were crossed over his chest, slightly retracted, his knees were close together, his feet were turned inward, and he screamed at the same time.

His action template comes from the small movies that Mustache usually watches. He simply thinks that such actions can attract the other party's attention. At least whenever the heroine does this, Mustache will be more nervous and excited.

As for the leopard-print bullet underwear he was wearing, ahem, the captain also has a bad taste, doesn't he?

Bamber warns: "In terms of gender and body type, you apply the wrong template and it will have the opposite effect."

"No one will misunderstand, except you, no one knows my existence, and you know the meaning of my reaction, don't you?" Hercules put down his hand and sighed, "If you tell me that I will die after being swallowed by annihilation If I can reach a planet with silicon-based life, I must find a way to get out of annihilation."

"There is no if." Bamboo said, "The probability is too low to be considered."

"Banbu, the conclusion of annihilation, you must share the information, the conditions are up to you!"

"Sharing is fine, but exchange." Bamboo thought for a while, since it is necessary to observe, it is best to observe from the cub, and observe two different life forms at the same time, he should be able to handle it, "You don't like replicas, so give me your son several."

"Can you keep them from being found? Can you keep them free?"

"If I restrict their freedom for them not to be discovered, what do you think is that?"

Fragments flew from Hercules' body again, and he put his arms crossed and screamed: "——No!"

Bamboo sorted out the logical relationship of cause and effect: "The prerequisite for the achievement of the transaction conditions is that I sort out the conclusion of annihilation, and you agree to give me your son. But the major premise of my conclusion is that I have encountered more than fifty times of annihilation—— But you know, the probability is less than 50 in 20 within ten years, less than 30 in 100 in 50.00 years, and will reach [-] in [-] in [-] years... Extended to [-] years, I have [-]% certainty. "

"There are still 67 years, ten months and seven days before my carrier is scrapped. I can handle the annual inspection and update, but at that time, the whole ship is destroyed." Hercules fell into a downturn again, and even the jump point was close Not so much in front of my eyes.

Still distracted, Bamboo asked, "Is it okay for you to fly like this?"

"I didn't ask... Ah, I can't leave. They are negotiating terms." Hercules stopped as he looked at the very close transition point.

The main control room of the spaceship.

What appeared on the communication screen was the master's usual gloomy face.

— still with the blonde's thighs as cushions.

The recognition of this face is extremely high, and Demreko reacted immediately, and the brain popped up a message almost at the same time: "Warning! Warning! Reminder: This person is a space thief, code-named Master, one of the leaders of the Poppy Skull, the Empire Ranked 35th in the joint wanted list with the Federation. Mental strength level 32, physical strength level [-]." Two years ago, he was still [-]nd, and he was beaten up by Bamboo, and he hasn't climbed back to his original position yet.

The master offered to see Colonel Crane: "The children are ignorant and have offended His Excellency Colonel. When is Your Excellency Colonel going to send them back?"

"Children? Colonel? Your Excellency, I don't understand what you're talking about." It was Mustache who was talking to the master. He was not wearing a combat uniform, but a light beige suit, a wine red tie, and a gold medal on the bridge of his nose. With silk glasses, a head of black hair combed sleekly, and a neatly trimmed mustache, he looks like a business elite. "We are businessmen, and we just pass here for some goods."

The three-way zone between the Federation and the Empire is not limited to the gray star field. The location of this transition point belongs to a fragmented star belt with poor resources. At a glance, it is full of densely packed ice cubes. There are no asteroids that can be used as cover, and ships do not pass by, and the guard is equivalent to zero.

And the reason why this place is called a good place for smuggling is not just a problem of weak guards, but an unstable transition point.

The area around the transition point is inherently unstable, so I want to emphasize it again, not to repeat the well-known argument that "simple energy changes may cause annihilation". "Flash jump" - the largest number of jump points with uncertain destinations discovered so far.

The meaning of "the largest number" is very clear. In this fragmented star belt, there are several transition points hidden, restraining each other, forming a delicate balance.

"The destination is uncertain" means, as it literally says, the destination of the jump is variable, maybe the first minute is a passage to the border of the empire, and the second minute becomes a shortcut to the federal center.Because of this uncertainty, there is no value as a regular transition point.

——Therefore, the guards didn't care about it, but they couldn't manage it.We can only shrink the police force, and it is enough to guard the border well. The general entry steps are all formalities after the transition.

The master smiled sullenly: "If you go to the regular transition point, I still believe that you didn't check the gadgets on the children? Didn't you recognize the locator?"

Could it be that the only optical brain that has not been destroyed is also equipped with a positioning device?Xiao Huzi believed in the cracking technology of the scope, and shook his head decisively: "I don't understand what you are talking about. We are running this way, a small business, please show your respect, I am willing to transfer [-] star coins to your account in my own name .”

He didn't want to practice Tai Chi. There is nothing completely useless in the world. Although the destination of the jump point is uncertain, they tried their best to determine it.Finally found out a little rule, the destination of this transition point within an hour is definitely the border of the empire.If you can't talk to Yu Pirates here for an hour...they don't have that much time and energy, and then go back to the second hidden jump point.

He is in a hurry, some people are not in a hurry.

"Do you think I'm cheating on you? Hehe." The master sneered, "Do you dare to let go of the protection and let me go in and search."

"Your Excellency, don't mess around." Mustache looked at the spacecraft data given by Demreko, and signaled the opponent to speed up and enter the transition zone, even if the team members were not dormant, it didn't matter.There are more than a dozen Xiaoyu pirates on board, no matter how insane the master is, he will not make fun of his companions' lives.

"Can the businessman's spaceship drive out to the level of a battleship? Will the businessman take this desolate transition point? The businessman has only two reactions when he sees our poppy skull, panic and bankruptcy. You look at your face in the mirror, and the real businessman sees it. I, will definitely not be like you now, superficial acting - a mixture of surprise, curiosity and a hippie smile, without any fear in the eyes."

Mustache couldn't help but slightly adjusted his sitting posture, when did the master become so powerful?

The master is not a young man, he is old and cunning, and Chen Xi revealed the information to him - Bamboo provided it selectively, and his confidence is the second.

——The focus is still on the latter.

Therefore, he is [-]% sure, of course he can say whatever he wants: "If you want to pretend that you don't know anything? It's okay, leave the spaceship, and you can go."

"Are you kidding me?" Mustache whistled.

"Are you kidding me, try it and you'll know... Want to leave?" The master suddenly fired another particle cannon!

"Aren't you afraid of annihilation?" Mustache's expression changed.

You have an ancestor-level little monster on board, are you afraid of being annihilated?The master has seen it with his own eyes, and communicated with Chen Xi, and the two particle cannons, one after the other, really forced the spaceship to stop before the jump point.

"Look, it's okay to stop and let us calm down and talk."
