After being stunned for a few seconds, Hao Ren finally exclaimed, "No...brain nucleus?! Isn't that your vital organ?"
The eldest son didn't speak, but a burst of complicated, chaotic, almost headache-ridden thoughts came from his place. At first, Hao Ren thought he was under a mental attack, but soon he found that there was an extra brain in his brain. Many inexplicable memories and knowledge. He realized that this is a more advanced way of communication: the eldest son probably felt that the dialogue efficiency was too low, and it directly shared its own knowledge and experience.
Hao Ren was dumbfounded after retrieving these memories: "This is..."
The eldest son on the planet Zhuomu has no brain nucleus, because it evolved the brain nucleus into another form 10,000 years ago!
Under normal circumstances, there will be several brain nuclei in a mature eldest child, and the number will not exceed double digits, but this is different on the Zhuom planet. In order to accommodate the complex virtual world and to be more compatible with the programming language written by the Zhuom people, the eldest son here reshaped his body in a planned way. It decomposes its own brain nuclei into countless nerve clusters and evenly distributes them throughout the body. These extra nerve clusters can grow more nerve tentacles, and the latter are the key organs connected to the external mechanical equipment. Decomposing the brain nucleus into countless small parts also has the effect of having sufficient backup: even if two-thirds of the entire planet suffers a disaster, the remaining one-third of the nerve clusters can maintain the integrity of the virtual world.
The current eldest son has split his brain and integrated it into all parts of his body. There are more than one million "small brain nuclei" distributed under every inch of the planet Zhuomu, and most of them are now surrounded by magma and sea of fire. , are dying in batches.
It is impossible to take it away—even if Hao Ren can find an interstellar engineering team now, it will take him a long time to separate all the small brain nuclei from the planet. These distributed brains were originally a safety measure against disasters, but now they have become the biggest obstacle to preserving the Droam civilization and the life of the eldest son.
Ten thousand years ago, no one thought that this planet would suddenly change its orbit and fall into the sun.
"If we discard the data of the virtual world, and just compress human beings and your soul into a few 'small brain nuclei', can it be taken away?" Hao Ren desperately thought about the alternative, "Are the capacity of those small brain nuclei not enough? "
"Mom said that the soul is the most complex piece of information. More than half of my mental world is devoted to those souls," the eldest son responded. "Other things in the dream are only a small part, and even giving up those... is useless."
More than 90% of the eldest son's spiritual capacity has been used to carry the souls of the billions of Zhuom people, while other parts of the virtual world—including mountains, rivers, wind, soil, clouds and mists—are the most insignificant parts. It is impossible to pack the Droam civilization away by compressing data.
The communication from the Giant Turtle Rock Platform suddenly interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts: "Partner, the sun has set, but the planet has been severely damaged. If this continues... I'm afraid the communication between you and the virtual world will not be able to continue." Yes, local detection of a weakening electrical surge signal beneath the planetary formation."
"I want to sleep." The eldest son's voice also invaded Hao Ren's mind at the same time, "I'm too tired...too hot... If this continues, the feeling of the real world will also be transmitted to the humans in the dream. Let's go to sleep, sleep After that everything will be fine and mom will come back..."
"I said I would bring you to you. Mom, I will do what I say!" Hao Ren interrupted the eldest son's voice loudly, and at the same time a lightning thought flashed through his mind, "Communication...communication...that's right! There is another Method!"
The eldest son followed him curiously.
"Soul, after all, is also data, right?" Hao Ren looked at the shapeless light and shadow in front of him, "The Zhuomu can input the soul into your body through equipment, so theoretically the soul in your 'brain' should also be able to Type it somewhere else!"
The eldest son hesitated: "Theoretically... it is possible. But..."
"It's nothing but, as long as the theory is feasible. It's better than euthanasia," Hao Ren stared at the white light with burning eyes, "I can't take away the body of this civilization, but I can take away all the souls—take away the virtual world. Give me the database and transcoding method, and I will send your souls to a safe place!"
The data terminal listened to the negotiation between Hao Ren and the eldest son on the line, and it interrupted: "This plan is theoretically feasible, but we need an unprecedentedly huge database. The souls of more than one billion people plus one eldest son, this data Quantity is no joke, where are you going to store them?"
"I have a database—Crystal Nucleus Research Station." Hao Ren felt that his thoughts were unprecedentedly clear, and his brain was in a better state than ever. "That is a scientific research site, and it is specially designed for the study of the eldest son. Its database is many times larger than the brain capacity of the eldest son."
"Then how to send this data?"
"To establish a communication link, we have a group of detection drones, use those drones as relay stations, and lay a broadcast line from Zhuomu to the crystal nucleus research station in the universe. If the bandwidth is not enough, use the high-power antenna of the giant turtle rock Also open, there is always a way.”
"What about the interface? How do you extract the eldest son's memory bank from the Zhuomu star? The bandwidth of this interface must be very high, otherwise it is impossible to transfer the souls of more than a billion people out within dozens of hours."
The problems with the data terminal came one after another. At the last moment, Hao Ren was stunned, but the eldest son suddenly said, "Near the equator of the planet, there is a big data release point. I can Get the data out of there...but only once, the sun will burn it."
"Data release point?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, "What is that for?"
"In the past, the younger brothers and sisters wanted to return to the real world, but that was the plan before the planet fell."
Hao Ren suddenly understood that what the eldest son mentioned was probably the facilities of the Drom people's "return to reality" plan recorded in the previous materials. He didn't expect this facility to be buried deep underground, and it can still be used until now.
He clapped his hands and said to the data terminal on the line: "Okay, all the elements are complete, is there any problem?"
"This machine has issued a summoning command to the drone group and started to write the driver program required for the data link. Now the only problem is the time—after 36 hours, Zhuom will disintegrate. Let's race against the sun."
"I will win," Hao Ren raised his mouth slightly, and looked up at the shadow of the eldest son's soul, "Now I have to return to the real world to prepare, and I will keep this connection open, you know Nolan ?The comm is jumping through her. We have thirty hours to go, so…”
"I will work hard," a thought came directly into Hao Ren's mind, "Mom said, do things to the end."
Sure enough, mother is always mentioned
Hao Ren smiled and quit this wonderful direct connection state. Nolan's somewhat sluggish face appeared before his eyes again. Due to carrying a large amount of data communication, the latter's thinking has been suppressed to the minimum. She can only vaguely understand what is happening now, but it is difficult to do anything Lively response. Hao Ren knew that now was not the time for greetings and explanations, so he could only help Nolan to sit down in a safe place: "I'm off to work, you can wait at ease."
Nolan looked at the person in front of him slowly, and finally nodded slightly.
Hao Ren withdrew to the real world. Vivian and Lily immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation with concern. Hao Ren waved to them: "Leave all the autonomous machines here to maintain the data link here, and let's go back to the spaceship."
The self-discipline machines waiting nearby gathered together and attached their mechanical tentacles to the eldest son's ganglion, taking Hao Ren's place.
The group returned to the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, and Hao Ren quickly walked to the console: "Terminal, what's the situation?"
"The swarm of drones is moving here, and they have all switched to high-speed communication. The bandwidth of the drones used for detection is limited, so it is necessary to design an extremely precise link to ensure successful transmission. Whether the specific bandwidth is sufficient depends on the database You can only find out after extracting it. The Crystal Nucleus Research Station has begun to reorganize resources. The database capacity should be sufficient, but there is a lack of virtual reality programs. A virtual world can be built in the host, but that’s for later.”
"What about the communication with the eldest son?"
"The relocation has just been completed, relying on the autonomous machines you left underground, the communication is still maintained." The terminal said and turned on the holographic projection in front of the console, which showed a blurred light and a few lines of text, those The text is a greeting from the eldest son.
"The mental model of the eldest son is very different from that of ordinary creatures. This simple communication link cannot convert its thoughts 100%, so it can only display text, but it is enough for now." (To be continued~ ^~)
