Chiba Makoto has never been a stickler for rules, and today, he discovered that neither was the Sphia Sphere.
It's not like in the original work and other parallel worlds, where a Sphia sphere is used to form a monster, and then it fights, is destroyed, and ends.
The Sphia sphere that landed on the earth, after being integrated into the monster's body, burrowed directly into the ground and hid, and it has not shown up yet.
On the contrary, 'semi-synthetic beasts' appeared one after another. Whether it was Dai Galen, who was shaken out by the PW wave before, or the volcanic lava synthetic beast Granren, which was active half an hour ago, they all have the characteristics of Sphia.
But it doesn’t have many features.
This means that they were 'synthesized' by Sphia, but it was not completely synthesized. It was similar to a bacterial infection. It did not completely replace the host, but it had a great impact on the host.
This is a change that has never appeared in the original work, so Chiba Makoto is very concerned about it. After brainstorming with Horii, he combined his own knowledge and came up with a guess.
That is, will the Sphia sphere be like a scout, flying everywhere in a wide net, and then falling on different planets, looking for hosts that can move freely within the planet, and then collecting them?
information.
Well, why does this sound like Ultraman is looking for a human body?
Why is this the same routine?
Is it so useful?
Horii nodded in agreement and said, "Dr. Chaokage thinks so too."
As he said that, Yuichiro Asakage, who was busy with something with his back to the camera, turned his head, then put the items in his hands on the table, walked over, with a faint smile on his face, and said as he walked: "Biologically speaking,
Just like birds cannot survive in the sea and fish cannot survive on land, even creatures that can fly in the universe may only be suitable for the environment of a certain area in the universe."
Horii then added: "After all, the universe is so big. Close to stars and far away from stars receive different heat. And the cosmic radiation and microwaves received by neutron stars and black holes are also different depending on the distance. Also, the dust density inside and outside the nebula is also different.
It’s huge, and...”
Horii talked about the differences in the environment of many universes. Not to mention the distance, let’s take the solar system as an example. Depending on the distance from the sun, the temperature can vary by hundreds or thousands of degrees. The nearest Venus and Mercury are as hot as purgatory.
Planets other than Saturn can hardly receive the sun's light and heat, and are completely extremely cold worlds.
The scope of the solar system is only one light-year, while galaxies like the Milky Way are easily tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of light-years long, and the universe is tens of billions of light-years wide, so regardless of science
Neither science nor common sense can say that space monsters can survive everywhere in the universe.
Dr. Chaoying walked up to the camera and said: "Not to mention the many microscopic problems, even from a macroscopic perspective, the difference between the void of the universe and the surface of the planet is greater than that between the sky and the land, so just like a bird in order to fly,
The bones are all hollow, even monsters, monsters in the universe and monsters on the planet are very different.
So I think the Sphia sphere is likely to be a single-cell-like structure, which is easier to mutate than multi-cellular organisms, that is, it can quickly adapt to different environments."
Perhaps feeling that it was too professional, Horii added as if to explain: "Well, just like in the ancient times, sea creatures moved to land and became mammals, but the Sphia sphere can dominate the direction of mutation and the mutation speed is extremely fast.
"
"After the Sphia sphere enters the planet and enters the planet's objects, it actually gives itself a shell suitable for the planet's environment, and then slowly adapts to the planet's environment." Asakage Yuichiro continued: "I think this is
This should be the reason why the Sphia sphere that landed on Earth has not appeared yet.”
"It is adapting to the environment and collecting intelligence. When it completely adapts to the earth's environment, a large number of Sphia spheres will come to the earth that have 'evolved' into forms suitable for the earth's environment."
Chiba Cheng thought of a very terrible consequence along this line of thinking. It is obvious that there is some kind of information synchronization in the Sphia sphere, which is equivalent to that as long as one completes the data collection and evolves the most suitable for a certain planet environment.
Form, other Sphia spheres can 'evolve' based on these data.
Just like a factory assembly line, as long as you input parameters to the machine, it will continuously produce identical products.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but I think there is another possibility, that is..." Dr. Chaoying said, clicking on the keyboard in front of him, quickly listing data tables one after another, and said: "
According to the geological survey around Dai Galen, no traces of other monster activities were found, but Dai Galen has the characteristics of Sphia, which means that it is likely to be a non-contact infection, that is to say.
..”
"The same virus-like infection as previously speculated." Horii said with a solemn expression: "Underground tanks have been dispatched and a detailed underground survey will be conducted in the Kirimon Mountain area. If no signs of other monster activities are found...
That’s too bad!”
It's really bad, and it's going to be really bad.
This shows that the speculated 'Sphia Virus' is likely to come true, and is indeed spreading over a large area, so that the Sphia Synthetic Beast can be created without the fusion of the Sphia Sphere.
Just like this Glen Lane, it is completely a polymer of volcanic lava, testing the most suitable fighting posture through fusion and reorganization again and again.
Yes, Chiba Makoto thinks this is a test.
Just like human weapons and equipment, a prototype is first built, and then in actual use, unreasonable changes are made until it is most suitable for actual combat.
Isn't it like this in Glen Lane? First he created a stone monster, and then during the battle with Dyna, he made various changes to adapt to Dyna's high strength, and finally turned himself into a muscle monster, whether it was
Both numerical value and performance crushed the strong Dyna.
Biological evolution is like this.
Genetic variation in the name of evolution allows one to adapt to changing environments.
"Sphia, is it evolving? No, in other words, it wants to continue evolving."
Chiba Cheng thought of other worlds. The dark planet Gulansfia wrapped itself in a huge amount of time and space energy, forming a black hole-like terrifying vortex, shouting for the good of mankind, and carrying the slogan of human evolution, swallowing
The solar system on which mankind depends for survival.
Intelligent life forms are a wonder of the universe. There are differences in different galaxies, different star systems, even different regions of the same planet, and even different individuals of the same race. This is unmatched by anything else in the universe.
So can swallowing highly intelligent life forms allow Sphia to evolve?
Apart from this, Chiba Cheng can't think of other possibilities for the time being.
"If it is the Sphia virus, it should be more likely to mutate in the sea," Dr. Chaoying said, "So I think we can apply to the headquarters to conduct a sampling survey of the global ocean."
"That's true." Horii agreed with this statement and said: "After all, compared to rocks, marine life is always in the water, just like humans live in the air all the time. Wait a minute..."
When Horii said this, he suddenly thought of a question: "If the Sphia virus can spread in the air, then..."
"It's just terrible."
"..."
Horii's guess silenced everyone. They were scratching their heads and thinking about countermeasures, but there was nothing they could do.
Fish cannot leave the sea, and humans cannot leave the air.
As for filtering the air.
emmm!
Even if cost is not considered, there are not so many air purifiers.
"Sphia!!!"
Asuka muttered this name that made everyone look solemn, and then his eyes were in a trance, as if he could 'see' the starry sky, but the stars in the sky were disappearing one by one. In the end, all the stars were gone, leaving only a sky full of stars.
Darkness, and then the earth split open, and pieces were torn into pieces spinning and flying towards the darkness...
While Asuka's expression was dull, Chaoying, who was chatting on the screen, moved his eyes slightly to the right, stared at Asuka who was standing behind Chiba Makoto, and said in an imperceptible voice: "I found you."
The twilight is gradually sinking, but the sunset remains warm!
Darkness unknowingly enveloped the sky, the temporary camp also turned on the lights, and the aroma of food wafted everywhere. It was already dinner time.
People who had been busy for most of the day were happily enjoying the delicious food. The only drawback was the faint smell of sulfur coming from afar, which greatly affected their appetite.
Although the camp site is far away from the volcano, the air diffuses very quickly, and the sulfur smell of the flames and lava has arrived here after a long period of wind blowing.
Some of the volcanic ash was ejected high into the sky and carried with the wind, so that the starry sky above became very sparse.
Chiba Makoto was sitting on a rock on the top of a small hillside near the camp, looking at the looming fire in the distance. It was Kirimondake volcano, which was still erupting intermittently, but the amount of eruption was less than half of the peak.
, according to the exploration of underground magma sacs, the eruption will stop in a few days.
"Captain, are you worried about the volcano?" Feiniao trotted over and said as if he was out of words.
"Ah, after all, a volcano monster was born, and maybe there will be a second one." Chiba Cheng turned around, looked at Asuka who was still hanging his arm, and said, "Why don't you have a good rest, and you are hurting everywhere?"
run."
"I..." Asuka hesitated, his eyes became even more wandering, and he did not dare to look at Qianye Cheng.
"My mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not like you."
"I..." Feiniao took a deep breath and said courageously: "Captain, you already knew this."
"What do you know?" Qianye Cheng turned back and continued to watch the flames in the darkness.
"...As expected, I got it." Asuka muttered, sitting on the ground as if he had given up on himself, looking up at the starry sky, and said: "Actually, I first came to the Space Adventure Team to...find my father.
There are no clues. Everyone said that dad flew into a beam of light and disappeared, so... the captain might know something."
"Because I think Ultraman is also light, so if we are both lights, will we be connected?"
"Um!"
Feiniao also knew that such an idea was ridiculous, but it was indeed the only clue he could think of that might be related to his father. He was not at a high level enough to touch other clues. He couldn't wait for his level to rise slowly. How long would it take?
ah?
Therefore, after hearing that the Space Adventure Team was recruiting people, he gave up his dream of the Super Victory Team and switched to the Space Adventure Team.
"Did you know? In fact, traveling at the speed of light is not so...well, wonderful, but rather terrifyingly silent."
"horrible?"
"You can't hear any sounds, you can't see any images, there's just complete emptiness."
"Empty?" The flying birds were surprised, their ears stood high, listening to the novelty.
"The essence of light in stars is photons, and the fastest speed of photons is light. That is to say, the moment you start flying at the speed of light, the surrounding pictures freeze and will gradually blur as you fly farther and farther.
, what finally appears is a cone-shaped distorted color, which is the light cone.”
"Uh..." Feiniao actually wanted to ask about his father, but this kind of popular science was very novel, so he still wanted to hear it.
"Moreover, photons have no weight and no time. If there is a photon that flies from the Big Bang to the destruction of the universe, then from the perspective of this photon, the universe was destroyed just after the explosion, showing a superposition of rebirth and destruction.
state."
"Uh..." Asuka's head was already filled with questions.
"So..." Qianye Cheng changed the topic and said: "The moment your father's speed reaches the speed of light, his time is stationary to a certain extent. Theoretically, even if you start from now on and travel at the speed of light,
Flying can also catch up with him the moment it reaches the speed of light."
"Really?"
Feiniao was so happy that he jumped up from the ground.
"I said, this is just theory, and there is another problem. There is not only one photon in the universe, but too many to count. How can you accurately identify which photon your father encountered?"
Asuka, who was giggling just now, suddenly stopped giggling.
Chiba Cheng stood up and said: "You have to remember that Ultraman is not an omnipotent god, he just has more power than humans. Never think that you are omnipotent."
"omnipotent!"
Asuka repeated the word and found that it was really the case.
Whether it's in the news or private discussions, everyone seems to regard Ultraman as a god, and feel that as long as Ultraman comes, all problems will be solved.
But is this really the case?
Everyone seems to have forgotten that when darkness fell seven years ago, Tiga lost miserably in front of the whole world.
And during the Victory Team period, Tiga must have been defeated more than once.
These are enough to prove that Ultraman is not invincible, but...
Why do people still think Ultraman Tiga is invincible?
