Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth perfect and imperfect
For Xiao Yu, the important thing is not just the corpse of MSI Civilization. In addition, the development of conventional technology is also extremely important. The corpse of MSI Civilization can bring a huge improvement in Xiao Yu's strength in an instant.
, and the development of conventional science and technology is a necessary condition for promotion to level seven civilization. Both of these two are indispensable.
In the course of more than a hundred years of research, in addition to studying how to allow the ghost tribe to control the corpses of MSI civilization without damage, Xiao Yu also conducted a lot of research and made certain progress in other aspects of technology. In this case
Under this, the fragments of star-class battleships obtained from the guardian civilization and the geometric objects of the seventh-level civilization in the mechanical direction have become the most powerful source of promoting Xiao Yu's scientific and technological progress. During this period, at least millions of
This piece of technology was analyzed by Xiao Yu. Compared with when he first left the galaxy, Xiao Yu's technology has improved a lot.
The most obvious data is that Xiao Yu's maximum speed at this moment has reached 125 times the speed of light, and the combat power of battleships of the same level has increased by an average of 30%. Xiao Yu has even predicted that even from this moment on,
Without the help of external forces, Xiao Yu is confident that he will develop conventional technology to the level of the guardian civilization within one hundred thousand years by relying solely on his own research.
"One hundred thousand years is too long, I can't afford to wait. And... so what if my conventional technology strength exceeds that of the Guardian civilization? As long as I don't reach the level of a seventh-level civilization, I will definitely not be a sweeper based on conventional technology alone.
A civilized opponent. I hope Xu Junpo can bring me some surprises." Xiao Yu sighed silently.
In this year, Xu Junpo has completed the necessary knowledge accumulation. In this process, his excellent scientific thinking played a big role. And this is what Xiao Yu values .
In some aspects, scientific thinking is indeed more important than scientific literacy. In terms of knowledge reserve alone, no one in the entire Shenzhou civilization or even the entire galaxy can compare with Xiao Yu. However, there are some problems that Xiao Yu cannot solve.
Lucca No. 3, No. 4, Xu Junpo and others, who have relatively little knowledge, can solve it. This is the difference between scientific thinking and scientific literacy.
Research on the companion ghost tribe and the corpses of MSI civilization has been fully launched. The companion ghost tribe entered the scientific research spacecraft specially built by Xiao Yu, and stayed with the scientists headed by Xu Junpo all day long, accepting various
During the inspection, Xiao Yu even spent decades using the most advanced space cutting tools to cut out a few milligrams of material from the corpse of the MSI civilization and put it in the laboratory for scientists to study it.
.
"The corpse of the MSI civilization seems to be made of a brand-new material. It is not a white dwarf star, nor a neutron star. Our scientific research equipment cannot find any material that conforms to our microscopic theory in the material of the MSI civilization's corpse. We cannot find it.
You can't find electrons. You can't find neutrons or protons, let alone things like quarks. It seems to be a pure energy collection. When pure energy is gathered together, it shows mass, gravity and other substances.
characteristics.”
Mass and energy are complementary to each other. If there is mass, there must be energy, and if there is energy, there must be mass. There is no pure mass, nor pure energy. But the corpse of the MSI civilization seems to break this understanding. It looks like
It is matter, but it is actually composed of pure energy.
"I think before starting this research, we need to clarify a few issues first." At a scientific exchange meeting, Xu Junpo informed the scientists present, including Xiao Yu, about the current research progress. And
Some of the difficulties encountered in current research are: "Judging from the fact that the soul can survive without the body and various other characteristics, we have reason to believe that the soul is life and life is the soul. The ghost race is a collection of souls. That is
A collection of lives. According to the owner's description, the ghost race should be regarded as a kind of composite life. Then the question arises, what is the soul, or life? Why can an individual be free after having life?
After action and loss of life, an individual becomes an aggregate of ordinary elements?"
Xiao Yu knew that this issue had entered the most essential category.
Xiao Yu has conducted similar experiments before, and this experiment is also very interesting. Xiao Yu used very advanced biotechnology to imitate a living intelligent creature and create another intelligent creature. This artificial creation has the same characteristics as the original one.
An intelligent creature has the same height, the same appearance, the same organs, the same blood, and all its physiological indicators are exactly the same as the original intelligent creature. The only difference is that this body is created by instruments, while the original intelligent creature
It was born through natural means.
This body has all the health conditions that Xiao Yu knows, but Xiao Yu knows that it is dead and has no life. This is a very contradictory phenomenon, because this replica has a healthy body and healthy organs, physiologically
In terms of indicators, it is alive, but it is also dead. It only has the most basic instinctive reactions and does not have any independent consciousness.
Xiao Yu could not find the difference between the replica and the original intelligent creature, but this difference did exist. Xiao Yu knew that this difference was life. The original intelligent creature had life, but the replica did not have life.
.
So, what exactly is life, or soul?
That earth girl, Zhang Shengya, once had life. She was alive once, but now she has lost her life, so although her physiological indicators are completely normal, she is still dead.
The meeting chaired by Xu Junpo is still continuing: "We don't know what life is, but in the current stage of research, we have discovered some differences between perfect life and imperfect life."
"A perfect life can completely control its own consciousness. This is fundamentally different from an imperfect life. Simply put, the various decisions, behaviors, or emotions felt by an imperfect life
A large part of the reason for sadness or anger is caused by changes in the content of various chemical substances in the body. Taking the Luca tribe as an example, the No. 1 substance can cause emotional impulses, so when you are a Luca tribe intelligent creature
When the content of Substance No. 1 in the body increases, the Lucca intelligent creature will do some impulsive and irrational things. Then, doing these things is no longer the independent consciousness of this Lucca intelligent creature.
Because during action, it is affected by the chemicals in the body. Including the Luca clan, all of us here, except the master and the ghost clan, we are all imperfect beings. Simply put, our
The body controls our consciousness to a certain extent."
"In contrast to imperfect lives, there are perfect lives. The master and the ghost tribe are both perfect lives. Because they can survive alone without the body. The decisions they make are true self-awareness.
Rather than acting out because of the influence of certain chemicals. When they feel angry, they really feel angry and not because of an increase or decrease in certain chemicals that control anger in the body. These feelings are real feelings, and chemical
Matter has nothing to do with it. This is the difference between perfect life and imperfect life. Combined with the origin of the ghost race, we are convinced that only when a large number of perfect lives die can the ghost race be born. And the birth and existence of the ghost race
There must be some important connection between the state and the factor of perfecting the living body."
"So, in the next research, we will use the difference between perfect life and imperfect life as a breakthrough point to conduct research. I will make the following arrangements: the School of Life Sciences is responsible for body-related research matters, and the School of Physical Sciences is responsible for the physical properties of the ghost race
Research on..."
The difference between perfect life and imperfect life was first proposed by Xu Junpo. Faced with this formulation, Xiao Yu thought of Xu Junpo's predecessor, Vicki, after being separated from his body a long time ago.
It will continue to weaken unstoppably, instead of maintaining a constant fluctuation intensity like itself.
Xiao Yu also remembered what the companion ghost tribe told him that humans on earth have souls, but most intelligent alien creatures do not have souls.
This is an unsolved mystery that has been lingering in Xiao Yu's heart. Now, Xu Junpo's statement has brought Xiao Yu into contact with the origin of this problem, which is the difference between perfect life and imperfect life.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly moved and he remembered another point.
According to Xu Junpo's classification method, Vicky is undoubtedly an imperfect life, but Xiao Yu confirmed that after being separated from the body, Vicky, who exists in the state of soul, will still have various emotional changes. For example, he has feelings for that person
The love of female intelligent creatures. According to classification, Vicky should not have feelings after leaving the body.
"So, is it because of the existence of emotions that causes Vicky to continue to weaken? Is this kind of weakness based on the same mechanism as the weakness after the ghost controls the corpse of the MSI civilization? This is also worth studying."
Xiao Yu thought about it, reshaped the information about Vicki, and handed it over to Xu Junpo. Xiao Yu implemented an extremely strict blockade of that incident, so Xu Junpo didn't know that his birth had such a bizarre story.
Story. Now Xiao Yu also doesn’t want Xu Junpo to know this. So some modifications are very necessary.
