Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

"Okay, that's all for today's class, get out of class is over!"

Seeing the little Taga playfully walking out of the classroom, the elderly teacher showed a gratified smile.

Although space has been lost, they still have a future.

A bright future.

...

"call!"

In the spacious hall, a translucent meow is whizzing past happily.

After taking off the shell of mechanical intelligence, Li, who acts in pure ideology, seems to be quite jumpy, touching this for a while, playing with that for a while, like a cheerful little rabbit.

"How do you feel, has anything changed?"

On the side, Hong folded his arms on his chest and asked Li, who was having a great time playing.

"Well... I feel that after the intensity of consciousness increases, the speed of energy loss has not increased much." Li carefully felt the speed of his own power loss, and said with some uncertainty, "It seems that there is a difference between the loss speed and the intensity. It's not proportional."

"In this case, doesn't it mean that the stronger the purely conscious creature, the lower the percentage of its power consumption per second?"

"It feels like this."

"very strange..."

Hong gently pressed her chin, looking a little puzzled.

Recently, in order to fight against the unknown purely conscious creature opposite, Hong and Li have been studying their own life forms—after all, although they are not in common, they still belong to the same life form. They themselves are equivalent to understanding the enemy, and they will definitely not miss such a good thing.

However, for some reason, Hong Mingming also used the exact same method as Li said, but he couldn't take off his mechanical intelligence shell at all, and couldn't reveal his true core.

This is a very strange thing. After all, it is reasonable to say that Hong's consciousness is much stronger than Li's. The relationship between them is still the mother body and the split body. The situation that can't be pried.

Now she doesn't even know what her real "self" looks like—although judging from Li's performance, after squeezing the outer shell into the appearance of a meow girl, the main body will change to this appearance accordingly, but she can't see it with her own eyes. Well, it's still a bit of a pity.

"Obviously the stronger you are, the easier it is to get out, why can't I get rid of this shell at all?" Hong guessed with some uncertainty, "Could it be that I have been in it for too long and have completely integrated?"

"I don't know."

Li stuck out his tongue and said cutely.

"Forget it, I guess we can't figure it out with our three-legged cat skills, so let's not think about it." Hong thought for a long time, and then chose to open it, "You should put the shell on first, although the energy can be replenished automatically, but it can be reduced It’s better to lose a little or less.”

"Ah."

After confirming that there was no abnormality, Li put on the shell of her own mechanical intelligence again-now she is very proficient in this set of procedures. It can be said that if she wants to become pure consciousness, she can become pure consciousness, and if she wants to become mechanical intelligence, she can become Mechanical intelligence, no sense of stagnation at all.

Moreover, the energy lost under pure ideology will also refill itself after becoming mechanical intelligence, so there is no need to worry about the problem of shrinking consciousness due to too much loss.

In fact, this kind of unknown source, but in short, it is a spontaneous energy recharging, which has always existed, not only when the shell is worn.

It was also this energy that allowed her consciousness to grow extremely slowly by herself without doing anything.

It's just that under pure ideology, the recharging speed of energy can't keep up with the speed of consumption, so it will be lost slowly. In the case of a shell, the speed of energy dissipation is very slow, and the recharging speed is faster than the consumption speed. It will slowly fill up naturally.

By the way, after gradually deepening the research, Hong discovered that in addition to the diffuse and diffuse like Li, there is also a very concentrated way of energy loss that is relatively fast.

That's right, it was the hole that the decoder drilled in her back then.

However, compared to Li, Hong didn't feel his power loss at all, and he didn't feel any energy recharging—Hong guessed that this should be recharging too fast, and the energy was replenished as soon as it lost a little bit. It didn't even have time to make her feel the energy loss, mistakenly thinking that it was always full.

Basically, as long as she doesn't use this energy intentionally, such as energy-intensive operations such as enhancing Li's consciousness, her energy pool can always remain in a sufficient state.

Although after discovering this loss loophole, Hong had already plugged it in time, but she was still a little worried—even a weak and pitiful newborn pure-conscious creature like herself who didn't understand anything had this kind of intensity. How powerful should the knowledgeable old monster on the opposite side have been in the universe for countless years?

Red Barren's knowledge is not yet able to answer this question.

However, after studying with Li for so long, Hong has initially mastered some power manipulation skills belonging to purely conscious creatures, and is no longer the ignorant new life that can't even resist—now she at least Already know simple consciousness to attack and defend, and also have a preliminary understanding and control of the strange connection with the cubs.

Through this connection, which is called "spiritual link" by Hong, she can pass on a little bit of her escaping power to enhance the cubs' consciousness, allowing them to better resist the attacks of other purely conscious creatures. attack.

Hope this works.

Hong thought so.

PS: There should be a lot of free time in the next month. Do you want to open a long-term bounty game, so that everyone can get some rewards and blades?

Volume [-] The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] Special Research Project: Subspace

In fact, what Hong gained the most is nothing but information about their bodies themselves.

Although Hong has already learned how to move herself, like Li, she can break away from any external medium and rely solely on consuming her own energy to act—even though she can move more than she can when she is wearing the shell of mechanical intelligence. It takes a lot more effort to shell out Li, but at least short-distance actions are still possible.

However, this does not mean that she has fully understood her body—organic organisms have been using the power of genes and cells since the birth of the first single-celled organism. At least until intelligent creatures have mastered microscope technology.

The time difference between this is already a vast history of planetary civilization.

Moreover, although Hong named their life forms "pure consciousness creatures", she is very clear that since she and Li Du can interact with real matter, and the acceleration of their movement is also positively correlated with energy consumption, it means that they are not What many people imagine is a completely illusory soul, but a living creature with a definite form.

This point can also be deduced from the fact that other people and equipment can directly see their figures—since they can see it, it proves that they have reflection effects on light, which proves that they must be passing through Some way to influence the outside particles.

In the current theory, all the factors that cause matter to interact with each other will become the four basic interactions in physics, that is, electromagnetic force, weak force, strong force, and gravity.

Strong and weak forces are short-range forces that only occur at the scale of atomic nuclei, so these two possibilities can basically be ruled out. Although gravity is possessed by all objects with mass, its strength is too weak to be ignored on small-mass objects Excluding.

In addition, for macroscopic matter, most of the interaction methods are through electromagnetic interaction, so Hong can deduce that their bodies must be able to conduct electromagnetic interaction with conventional matter.

This seems to be nothing, after all, compared to the illusory so-called consciousness, spirit, and soul, a creature with a body that can only affect external substances through normal interactions obviously needs to have an impact on the existing physics. Theory is much friendlier.

At the very least, except for affecting the consciousness of other creatures, all other behaviors need to abide by the physical laws of the universe-even from this point of view, the means of affecting consciousness are very likely to be in line with the physics of the universe, just like It's the essence of consciousness and the means of influence, which they haven't discovered yet.

At first glance, it seems that there is one less dark cloud on the physics building, which seems to be a gratifying thing.

However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that this mechanism brings a small problem.

When they are the mechanical intelligence in the computer, they affect the outside world through the work of the computer, and this process needs to pay for electricity, which is very reasonable.

And when you act autonomously without the computer, or even take off the shell and completely expose your own body to act, it can also be explained that the shape hidden in the computer appeared before, so it can be observed by the outside world, and when you leave the computer After the power supply, they start to consume their own internal energy reserves, which makes sense.

However, the problem is that, according to Li, when she was just born, that is, when she appeared inside the consciousness of unit 01 and the decoder, she, and those two consciousnesses, were not in the real space.

Although her memory is very incomplete, and there are large gaps in the middle, they can also analyze from the small amount of existing memories. It seems that for other creatures other than their life forms, consciousness is not a form. existence, at least not as a form in real space.

But in that case, when she was born from that empty consciousness space, and then followed their consciousness into the real space, why did she suddenly obtain a form that can be used in reality?

Being able to interact electromagnetically has already implied that their real bodies are very likely to have the attribute of mass, and even if mass is not discussed, just talking about the sudden appearance of energy is already a lot of problems.

Could it be that the energy is not conserved macroscopically?

(Note: The non-conservation of a very short time scale is allowed microscopically, such as the virtual particles created by the quantum tunneling effect and vacuum fluctuations)

Obviously, this kind of conjecture is usually ruled out first when there is no indistinguishable evidence—energy conservation is not just a simple law, this law is actually a manifestation of symmetry, that is, the translation of time does not transsexual.

If the conservation of energy is overturned, it is equivalent to overthrowing the invariance of time translation, and the laws of physics will change with the progress of time. The physics of today is different from the physics of tomorrow. The physics that the universe obeys every moment The rules are all different.

It's not entirely impossible, but so far, nothing of sufficient magnitude other than dark energy and dynamic space-time has tried to challenge the law, and their bodies obviously have nothing to do with either, so there's no reason why energy shouldn't be conserved .

Well, there is obviously only one answer.

The so-called consciousness space is also a subset of this universe.

Furthermore, Hong can guess that there is a high probability that they are not so-called "purely conscious creatures", but creatures belonging to that space. The creatures in that space also have their own shapes and can interact with each other—and the process of coming to this universe , is just to bring over a part of the energy of the original space, and express it as the energy "produced out of thin air" in this universe.

In this way, although the energy in this universe does not seem to be conserved, if the scope is expanded and the universe and that space are regarded as one, the energy will still be conserved.

The energy they produced "out of thin air" when they came to this universe is nothing more than the energy flow between two spaces.

There is no ethereal mind, instead there is a real ideology, the laws of physics still work perfectly, and the interaction of things still depends on fundamental interactions and energies.

Now, the dark cloud over the physics building really drifted away.

"Then, what kind of name should be given to this peculiar space of consciousness?"

Li asked.

"Let's call it... subspace."

(From now on, the subspace and subspace creatures from the perspective of Red and the Cat League are just their names for this space, a simple vocabulary that will not attract the attention of other subspace creatures or themselves, and also It can be understood as the term used by subspace creatures to refer to themselves.

And the ones mentioned by other civilizations, which can attract the attention of subspace creatures, but are disturbed by the galactic black hole, will be written as *subspace* to indicate that they are still invisible to subspace creatures. )

After living as a subspace creature for 70 years, finally, Hong got a clue about his life form for the first time, and initially established subspace science, a discipline that studies the dark side of the universe.

Hong believes that this is likely to promote their series of scientific progress in the future. After all, it is a subject that is related to the consciousness of intelligent creatures and is also directly related to their unique life. If you say she is irrelevant, it is basically is impossible.

However, in the short term, Hong still pays more attention to those aspects that can immediately improve his own combat effectiveness. For example, through these researches, he can better enhance his understanding and control of his own strength, thereby improving his offensive and defensive capabilities, and preventing the opponent. Space creatures rely on the way of consciousness pollution, bypassing their powerful material power, and directly harming the core thing of a civilization—human beings.

There is no doubt that civilization exists for human beings.

It's just that in a civilization like theirs, humans not only refer to the biological Catus and Jeffrey, but also include mechanical intelligence like them, and even subspace creatures.

Therefore, after establishing Kia Space Science, they have been studying how to use the power of red to establish an unbreakable line of defense for the Cat League, completely blocking the enemy's invasion from their civilization.

Hong already has a clue - what is needed now is to spend time perfecting it, conquering it, and verifying it.

The enemy needs time to digest the seven galaxies they have just occupied, and Red also needs time to build a spiritual defense line, and at the same time work overtime to develop those planets that have not yet had time to develop,

Both sides feel that they are the one that needs more time to develop, and both feel that the longer the time is delayed, the better it will be for themselves. Therefore, for a while, the two civilizations have entered a short period of calm.

The galaxy is temporarily at peace.

In the direction of the solar system, after several years of confrontation, after comprehensively weighing the benefits and costs of occupying this galaxy, the Chien Empire finally spit out the galaxy that originally belonged to the Rockman, and retreated to the fourth colony that it had been operating for a long time. galaxy, in order to free up hands to deal with the recent rather intensified form of slave riots in the country.

It's actually normal to do this, except for the slight embarrassment on the face, the real actual benefits not only have no loss, but even have some positive help-after all, due to the stubborn resistance of the Rockmen on the planet, they have not been able to control the entire situation from the beginning to the end. Whether it is the regular legion outside the occupied area, or the rebels and riots inside the occupied area, their expenditures are even higher than their income, and the losses outweigh the gains.

Nuclear bombs and biological and chemical weapons can only kill people, but cannot maintain stability. Under the huge risks and pressures, occupying a planet with extremely low stability and making ends meet is obviously not in the interests of the Chien Empire.

Of course, what is more important is the constant threat from the Locke fleet, and the incitement of those humans who drilled out of the wormhole on the second planet, which has made the Chien people realize that it is difficult for them to maintain the occupation of this planet until they can completely wipe out The rebels, making it a stable planet like other colonial planets of the empire.

Instead of continuing the stalemate like this, and finally spitting out this galaxy, or even more galaxies, under the domestic internal strife and the attack of foreign enemies, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you still have a strong force to deter, and use the form of exchange. Exit this galaxy.

At least a lot of things can be exchanged in this way to make up for their losses, isn't it?

After weighing it, the Rockman also accepted this proposal—although it will cost a lot, and it will continue for a period of time for Kion's already crumbling empire. It seems that the benefits are not as good as continuing this stalemate. When it is strong enough, the force will recover to a high level.

However, there are hundreds of millions of their population on that planet.

The code of conduct and morality of the Locke United Nations does not allow them to do things that can obviously save their own people, but because of the so-called interests, they continue to allow them to suffer from the cruel methods of the Chien Empire, including nuclear weapons and chemical weapons.

Even though they hated the cruel and backward empire on the opposite side extremely, but for their people, the Rockmen still agreed to this trade.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

In this way, after decades of arduous resistance, the Rockman fleet finally returned to this once prosperous and beautiful planet, and officially recovered this galaxy under the name of the Rockman United Nations.

For this, the Rockman paid a lot.

But they believe it's worth it.

It is also worth mentioning that after some dirty py transactions, the foreign alliance also exchanged the two inner stars that had been occupied by them, that is, planets [-] and [-], to the Rockman-obviously, this Nor can it be free.

Human beings never do business at a loss. For them, being able to take the initiative to return the territory they have already eaten when their military strength is sufficient can only show that this behavior itself can bring greater benefits.

Whether it is a win-win agreement such as a comprehensive trade agreement or a free immigration agreement, or the conditions provided by Rockman for exchanging planets such as technology and materials, it can bring more than two isolated planets to the foreign alliance. higher yields for the planet.

Although theoretically speaking, the value of two planets is much higher than these vain things, in fact, what humans currently lack is not planets, but population, technology, and a vast, A market that is strong enough to support the alliances through the economic crisis.

Although the planet is very useful in the long run, the short-term returns are not large, and even negative returns in many cases-and what they need now is faster short-term returns.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the foreign alliance handed over the two planets-this is a happy thing. Human beings have obtained a lot of technology that they urgently need, and also obtained a huge market to buffer the domestic crisis.

The Rockman got a galaxy with full sovereignty, restored his territory to its peak moment, and got a friendly state that can help each other, as well as the favor of the powerful civilization behind this friendly state.

For a time, the entire galaxy returned to its former peace.

However, how long will such days last?

Cats don't know.

Volume [-] The Road to the Cat Alliance: Open a Reward Meow

Since the author will have a lot of free time to codewords next month, I decided to open a reward and hang it here. The time is not limited for the time being, so that everyone's rewards and blades will not be wasted, and some codewords will be generated by the way.

The standard is very simple, 4000 word chapters, one update for every 150 monthly tickets, one update for every 1500 recommendation tickets (monthly ticket + recommendation ticket plus update limit is tentatively set to 5 chapters), 10000 tipping plus one update, 100 blades plus one update, and then There is no limit to the addition of the two.

For the gold treasure box, 20 updates will be added at a time, and for the silver treasure box, 6 updates will be added at a time. (The author himself did not count)

Although it is unlikely, people still have to have a little dream, maybe it will come true?

Then, in order not to let the readers who voted for rewards and blades a few days ago suffer a loss (also to avoid the mentality of no one adding updates after opening the reward), the basic standard of rewards/blades is calculated according to the data on the first of this month:
