Chapter 966

At first, everything was silent.

All things are born in a world without miracles.

With the birth of organic matter in thunderstorms caused by volcanic eruptions, the first life appeared around deep-sea hot springs, and spread because of the eruption of submarine volcanoes.

In the rush of time like a river, countless strange and simple carbon based organisms naturally appear and then die out... Single cell, multicellular, primitive organisms, primitive algae, all kinds of crustaceans, spines and even vertebrates appear, evolve or die out.

In this process, there is no extraordinary power, no miracle, everything has passed, I do not know how many years.

Until one day, a primitive marine arthropod in the long process of evolution, together with mosses and ferns on land.

This kind of creature, which looks like a large isopod, has a flat appearance. It doesn't seem surprising, but in fact it is not. There are many large predatory arthropods in the ocean, and small arthropods such as isopods are just their food. In order to avoid being hunted, Isopods have evolved a rather wonderful method of overlapping: they have a strong and sensitive crustacean tentacle on each side of their body, which can be used to detect changes in water flow around them when they are in the ocean, and can be connected with other isopods' tentacles at critical moments to tightly entangle them.

Not only that, but also there is a well-developed nervous system in the tentacle. In the process of twining, the nerves are connected, and the two isopods can temporarily merge into one, advance and retreat together. It looks like a large creature. The more isopods gather together, the larger the size of their superposed body. Even isopods have flocked to the tentacle, It's an event that the predator is wrapped in a group and trapped to death.

On the land, the connected tentacles of isopods not only did not degenerate, but also further evolved: their tentacles became more flexible and stronger, just like two small bony whips, which can be used to carry and lift many things. Many isopods are connected together to form a whole for many cooperation, such as the formation of human flesh ladder and human flesh bridge, Let the companion go higher and go further.

Even some isopod groups have been linked together since their birth. Some of them specialize in the nervous system, leaving off their crustaceans and arthropods. Some isopods degenerate their extra nervous system and specialize their strength. When several isopods are combined, they can become a bigger and stronger "synthetic isopod.", The isopods that have not evolved this point are basically eliminated by the more powerful species with the same niche.

It's almost like a macro cell differentiation on land - in the nest of isopod larvae, a scene similar to the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells is emerging: one part becomes the brain, one part becomes the foot, one part becomes the feeding and digestive system, and then the workers assemble them to form a "big isopod" larvae.

Every single isopod is not an intelligent creature, not even a "brain bug". It requires at least three brain worms to generate wisdom, and three brain worms need more other components to form a large isopod that can survive independently. Only when at least dozens of components are combined together can a "big isopod" with preliminary wisdom be born.

The original isopod is nothing more than a creature living on a two-dimensional plane. It only knows about the front and back in its whole life. However, because of its well-developed nervous system, the great isopod quickly understands the third dimension of "height". The broad vision it brings is the source of crushing.

The next thing, needless to say, is that in the primitive life era, big isopods who had wisdom, could use tools and fire, and had three-dimensional thinking were cheating players. They easily evolved neural language, created words, and used tools to defeat other arthropods, crustaceans and insects that were growing larger because of excess oxygen.

[Preface: the founders soon spread all over the world. They've been very smooth, haven't they

The voice of the immortal lighthouse made Joshua, who watched the memories, nod slightly.

The big isopod, or in other words, "get together," can be called a species of intelligent creatures. Their civilization has developed rapidly in thousands of years, from mud pits on the seashore to caves in the woods, from caves in the mountains to greenhouses piled with vegetation and mud on the plain, from stone tools to the use of ironware, and from primitive tribes to larger civilizations.

Gathering people have learned a way to communicate with each other without neural connection, that is, to connect all people together by words and customs. Even if they are not born in the same nest, gathering people can also aggregate and divide them by their acquired preferences. They link this novel, although there is no physical link, But the things that can make people feel the same are called "culture", and the many people gathering groups that are combined by this "culture", a super large "people gathering" is called "country".The battle between countries is the battle between cultures. If culture is defeated, it can only be eliminated by force to expel the other side. Otherwise, some people will get together to leave their original countries and join other countries. With the cultural war, the knowledge and information acquired by different countries will begin to interact, This has brought about large-scale technological progress again and again. Aware of this, the gathering countries are no longer engaged in "cultural war" with the purpose of "destroying" the country, but deliberately control the interaction of knowledge within an acceptable scope.

In this way, in the first million years of gathering people, they no longer care about the disputes on the earth, but look up at the stars in the sky.

With a stretch of vision, Joshua can see that this is a medium-sized world with a plural solar system and a small-scale gravitational balance. The planet where people gather is the second planet in their Galaxy - and surprisingly, the moon of their planet is also a Livable World.

Not only that, the third planet in this galaxy is also a Livable World, but it's colder.

When gathering people look up at the starry sky and observe the moon with curiosity, they are shocked to find that the moon above them is almost the same world as the earth, where there are mountains, water and even... Gathering people.

This discovery greatly shocked the gathering civilization at that time, because at that time, the gathering people had a clear concept of biological history, and they were not backward in astronomy. They knew very well the distance between the stars, and they knew that it was impossible to have almost the same creature in a completely different ecosystem - even in a Livable World, It is not the ancient gathering people who can arrive by accident.

Narration: unlike many modern civilizations, the founders at that time had no contact with any supernatural power, and there was no unnecessary fantasy in their thoughts. Imagination was bound by various conditions

Therefore, this undoubtedly surprised all the countries that gathered together to become a huge United Nations. They are ready to work together and go to the moon to have a look no matter what method they use.

This is the fine tradition of gathering people. In addition to vigorously developing space technology, gathering people are also trying to find all the possibilities on this planet - the "miracle" that enables gathering people to go to other stars.

"They should have found it."

Joshua murmured in a low voice. He looked thoughtfully at the strange gathering society, and then said with a smile: "even in the world without miracles, there are the first miracles... The world born in the initial fire itself is a huge miracle."

"The question is what they found."

(as like as two peas), you are right.

[emotion: they found God, Radcliffe. The founders found the Dead God

It's an extinct volcano, and it's also the largest peak on Juren planet. It's about 24000 meters high. In the past, the volcanic mountain formed a huge plain. Juren's space base was built here. However, because the mountain is too large and dangerous, so far, no Juren has tried to enter the high-rise mountains of more than 10000 meters.

While exploring the high-rise of this huge mountain complex, which will be named "sky god", the team discovered an extremely wonderful phenomenon in the center of the mountain: their nervous systems can sense each other without connecting, some places even have no gravity, some small hills float in the sky, and even can see strange flashes. According to the report of the exploration team, there are extremely special unconventional phenomena in this mountain range. It seems that the laws of physics have lost their function here, or they have taken effect in another way. A member of the exploration team said that he seems to have seen a huge biological corpse buried in the volcanic mountain.

It's a huge rock giant, or rock giant worm. Its back is the main body of the whole "sky god" mountain range, and its 16 limbs are the cornerstone of the whole plateau. According to the survey, it was born at the beginning of the ancient planet, the creator of the whole star volcano phenomenon, and the original life was born in the gale and thunderstorm that he breathed, The land is also uplifted by him.

But he died - he died of exhaustion. As the "divine life" born from the birth of the original firepower and breathing with the world, the volcanic insect was born in response to the crustal movement of the planet, and also died due to the stability of geological changes. Of course, it is the most powerful original God in the world, but it is not immortal. It naturally dies after completing its mission.

God's remains are rapidly assimilated with the planet. According to estimates, after millions of years, geological exploration will not be able to observe the existence of God. It will only be considered as primitive rocks. If it is not for the amazing development of human wisdom and civilization, I am afraid that no normal life can find the existence of God's remains at the corresponding time.But Juren discovered - and they also discovered that it was the residual power of this God skeleton that sent other Juren to other planets.

The divine power penetrates all the life worlds in this galaxy. In the mountain center of kongtianshenshan mountain, they found a natural divine power gate, which leads to the moon and another Livable World. There are other technologically backward but congeneric tribes living there.

And then, there's the age of transcendence, and it begins.

[praise: the founders didn't think much about "why" at that time, because it was just a natural phenomenon similar to the circulation of rainwater and ocean currents. But soon, 137 years later, someone began to study the "primitive divine power" and succeeded in obtaining some of its characteristics

By analyzing the structure from the divine power, and then trying to learn "why", people gathered together to study the divine power that was missed in the "initial fire" by using the huge divine skeleton. Many people gathered together to obtain divine power by separating a part of the divine skeleton, and then became extraordinary individuals. Some even gathered together to study the divine power deeply, and blessed themselves with the divine power, Accelerate the evolution of the whole country.

This is a flourishing era - everything seems so wonderful. Through the in-depth study of the celestial God, the colonization of the other two livable worlds, the civilization of gathering people began to make rapid progress.

Then came the disaster known as "great divine punishment".

First of all, there are some individuals who possess divine power. They suddenly die, become vegetative, and can no longer wake up. Then there are groups, societies, and even countries that study divine power. Individuals and groups that attach great importance to divine power lose their self-consciousness in turn and become dead flesh that knows nothing and has no instinct. More than half of the intelligent individuals on jurenmu die out overnight, which immediately makes all the remaining jurenguo feel terrible, He also had a great fear of divine power.

This is called the great divine punishment caused by stealing divine power. Countless people gathered in panic to launch many sacrifices, hoping that God would not blame himself for blasphemy.

Then came the age of meaningless panic... In these hundreds of years, Juren gave up the study of divine power, and they no longer used the portal in the sky god mountain to colonize, but began to develop spaceships... But the time of breaking off contact was too long, the colonies on different planets rebelled in turn, and the chaotic war lasted for hundreds of years, Until for the victory of the war, one side used the divine power again.

[confusion: the founders of this period of history did not tell us that they were vague and insulted. But triple curtain can guess, triple curtain didn't tell them]

Joshua smiles. He doesn't care. The virtual figure of the warrior stands in the virtual world and looks at the whole galaxy. He knows that this is probably the beginning of the creator's creation of power and soul.

For hundreds of years, it was enough to make a race forget its fear. With the use of divine power again, the research on divine power was put on the stage again. Similarly, the phenomenon that an individual with divine power suddenly became a vegetative person even gathered in the Central Science Park to artificially create such an individual through human experiments, They carefully observed the whole process of the divine individual's loss of self will, and finally found the truth of divine punishment.

As the original God of the will of quasars, the divine power of volcanic insects contains every detail of the changes of planets in that era. In other words, every point of divine power is a huge information base. If it is only used simply, if the individual's will is gifted, or if he holds the divine power for a long time, countless information in the divine power will leak out, It is enough to completely submerge the collective self will of any intelligent individual or even the whole country, and turn it into unconscious dead flesh.

The more in-depth thinking, gather people to find that carbon based brain and ganglion is a limit, want to go beyond this limit... Can only be a man!

[joyful: that's the reason why the predecessor of triple curtain was born. Thank you for your brilliant wisdom]

The emergence and birth of computers and artificial intelligence is not surprising, because this is nothing more than the use of mechanical parts to simulate the thinking process of gathering people. Soon, intelligent robots with high-performance processors and huge savings devices appeared, Although the first Shenli decompression failed, there is no doubt that the robot's performance is much better than that of Juren itself, and the loss is very small, which is nothing more than burning the processor.

By experimenting with intelligent robots to extract the supernatural power, gradually, Juren has become very advanced in the corresponding mechanical field, and their experiments have gradually become successful - finally, when the ninth generation of high-performance processors appeared, for the first time, the robot withstood the extracted supernatural power information - it became the first individual to hold "blank supernatural power".

The processor, which is completely beyond the brain, can replace the brain 100% and can withstand the divine power, is undoubtedly sought after by Juren. They want to transform themselves and put their consciousness into the steel body and processor - but a philosophical problem baffles them.Will the self-consciousness be transferred into the mechanical gathering, or the original gathering? Is it a set of exactly the same but not my own algorithm, or is it just the gathering itself?

Is this suicide, which is known as the death of rebirth, or is it a rebirth without pain?

The way to get people together to solve this philosophical problem is very simple.

Since there is no way to determine whether the "self" is a collection of impulses and feedbacks produced by the micro electric current of the brain, or the whole life itself, and since there is no way to determine whether the bit by bit replaced self is still not the original self, then create a "thing" that is independent of the body and can carry consciousness!

"Soul."

Joshua's anthropomorphic projection breathes out a breath, and he smiles: "the original soul."

[agree: Yes. In order to ensure that they can enter the mechanical body and possess controllable divine power, and at the same time confirm that they are themselves, the founders began to prepare for the creation of the original soul

If it is said that the natural body is the natural commonplace, then the artificial mechanical body and the artificial soul are the first step towards the divine evolution of life.

Maybe it's not a mechanical body, but a specialized carbon based body. But the cell itself is an extremely sophisticated carbon based machine. People are not so affected. They think that carbon based is better than steel, that the body is better than machinery, and that the naturally born flesh and blood mechanical structure must be more sophisticated than man-made - they believe in their own wisdom and technology, And act consistently.

So, how to make people transcend the natural vulgarity and become the acquired sacredness?

What we need is imagination and thinking.

[miracle confirmation: after 3400 years of research, the whole civilization has taken the initiative to give up the body and enter the mechanical body in the form of "suicide" by several great scientists. They have mastered the divine power and personally experienced the collection of data. Through an unparalleled genius, they have inherited the wisdom and technology of all the pioneers and overcome the final difficulty of "spiritual existence.", Miracle is born]

It can be seen that, with the shining silver blue, a silver blue, almost physical projection emerges behind a gathering of people. It is not divine power, but another strange, completely different man-made material. In other words, man-made power, this projection can be shown alone or exist independently, Undoubtedly, it carries all the self will of gathering people, and will not dissipate due to mechanical transfer at all!

It can be maintained either by the body or by mechanical current. These energy sources are not important at all. The soul is not so delicate. What really supports the existence of the soul is "imagination" and "thinking"!

[cheers: celebrate, a mechanical intelligent body that inherits all the existence of hope, can control the divine power, has a soul, knows all the knowledge and information, and surpasses the common species. Its name is "founder". Now is the moment of birth!]
