Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space: Fanwai 2. Planet-level life forms (7000 words)

A genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads!

"This is... a planet-level super life form? A planet-level?"

"Yes, after judgment, we believe that most life forms on this planet, including microorganisms and most plants, are likely to form a single self-consciousness."

"However, this consciousness is still in the initial stage of ignorance. It requires a certain degree of education to form a complete intelligence."

"...Really?" Li Yueyue shrugged her nose in an incredible way.

The anthropomorphic artificial intelligence nodded and said with a smile: "In the myths and legends on the earth, there is a similar saying, it is called the Gaia life."

"In remote ancient times, people proposed that all life on the earth can form an organic whole, so the entire ecological environment of the earth has a certain degree of self-regulation. But here, we see this A true cosmic miracle, this planet does have an overall self-awareness."

Everyone in this team, Lin Yueyue, was looking curiously at the planet under his feet. Its surface was filled with a thick atmosphere, and the entire ocean appeared milky white.

There are a large number of plants, microorganisms, and some strange tissue structures distributed throughout the ocean. These tissue structures need to be supplemented by other microorganisms in order to survive.

Most creatures are able to get along in harmony, and the competition between each other is very gentle. On the contrary, they live in harmony mostly.

"Look at the analysis from the micro level, the microorganisms in the ocean are like the cells in the human body. They have a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for manufacturing nutrition, some are responsible for providing energy, and some are distributed. The neural network structure, which can feed back information and connect the entire ocean, is indeed a very rare evolutionary model."

A girl couldn't help asking: "So how did this planet form? The traditional ecological environment would not form such a life form?"

Special life forms are naturally brewed by special environments.

The code name of this planet is KIC00***91234, a peculiar planet that rotates at a high speed and has an intermittent magnetic field. It is estimated that in the early days of the formation of this planet, there was an extremely abundant ocean of organic matter.

The abundance of organic matter is at least thousands of times that of the earth!

This phenomenon is not uncommon. For example, Titan in the solar system is also full of organic matter on its surface. There are also lakes composed of organic matter, including methane, ethane, and so on. These naturally occurring organic matter provide a lot of nourishment for the emergence of life.

But what is rare is that the environment of this planet is special, and its magnetic field sometimes declines sharply. Without the defense of the magnetic field, the solar wind and cosmic rays will sweep the planet without any hindrance, killing the primitive creatures on it; At that time, the magnetic field will be greatly enhanced, and even this kind of strong magnetic field can affect the growth of life.

According to the analysis and calculation of superhuman beings, this periodic magnetic field change may be one of the main reasons for the consciousness of all living things on the planet.

The artificial intelligence explained to these students: "In ancient times, the organic matter environment on this planet was too abundant, but the ecological environment was so bad that in the early days of these primitive life, there were unexpectedly among the microbes. There is not much competition, but cooperation with each other is mostly."

"You think, the surrounding environment is full of organic matter, there is no lack of energy, but the environment is very harsh, only cooperation can better survive in the harsh environment, so under the effect of long-term time, it will Gradually evolved into a collective consciousness. This consciousness can automatically adjust most of the living organisms in the ocean of organic matter, causing a symbiotic phenomenon of microorganisms."

"Then gradually evolved a neural structure."

"Due to the formation of the entire planetary life, other single-conscious life forms cannot evolve."

"Of course, this is just a preliminary guess, the specific reason remains to be investigated."

Faced with this magical statement, the students all sighed.

This peculiar planet can be regarded as the most surprising discovery of the New Mankind in the Large Magellanic Cloud for so many years!

A large number of research forces have gathered near the planet, not only traditional humans come here to visit and travel, but also well-known superhuman scientists, plus scientists from allied hemisphere civilizations, and even the battle stars have moved here. Pieces.

"Now, can we land on this white planet?" Lin Yueyue asked.

"Of course you can, but a certain level of reporting is required. In order not to disturb this peculiar life form, the number of people who land on the planet every day is limited. You can register first and wait a few days before there will be a tour. Notification."

Seeing the expressions of interest from her companions, Lin Yueyue greeted: "Let’s go, let’s register first, and then go to the museum on the planet to see how the research is going..."

"Walk around."

Everyone boarded an anti-gravity spacecraft.

A girl sitting next to me was a little curious and said: "Sister Yueyue, you have been in a lot of emotional ups and downs these days, are you in love?"

"Huh huh? How is it possible? Who did you listen to?"

"You are so good and so cute, don't you guys pursue it?" The girl was a little gossip.

Lin Yueyue played with her for a while, and naturally many people pursued her, but they were all rejected by her. How can women in the new era be addicted to love-making?

"I am an advocate of classical human thinking... the boys whose thoughts are controlled by hormones are too boring."

"Classical humans? Is it Plato's concept of love? Oh?! Really or fake! So traditional!"

"It made you know me for the first time. Those who are addicted to their own desires are thrown into the virtual world by superhumans to fend for themselves!"

"Then what should I do if a boy is chasing me?"

"It depends on whether his whole person is interesting and whether he has ambitions. If he simply greets your body, then forget it, tell him to find a robot."

Just like this chat room, the destination is here.

In the new human civilization, the largest museum above each battle star is called the "Museum of Surprise."

These museums are tourist attractions in the new human civilization trading market. Almost every alien civilization that comes to the trading market will come here to visit and travel.

The price is naturally free, which can be regarded as expanding the horizons of low-level civilization and spreading the popular culture of new human civilization, which can be regarded as a kind of cultural output.

Sure enough, a new section was opened in the "Museum of Surprise" dedicated to introducing this newly discovered planet-level life form-"Beta".

Pictures are displayed on the central screen, as well as video on demand. Superhuman groups have been teaching this creature for decades, and some progress has been made.

Some people from several hemispheres also lingered in the museum, and the applause of "crackling" could be heard everywhere. They still haven't gotten rid of the applause.

"Hello, I am Artificial Intelligence No. 091, I will serve you wholeheartedly." The artificial intelligence in the museum can automatically interpret the information in the museum for visitors.

This planet-level life form is currently named "Beta". Since the original environment only had one consciousness and did not form a complex society, its intelligence has not been able to evolve for a long time. Only after human beings discovered it, after a series of enlightenment, did it possess the most elementary intelligence.

Lin Yueyue said with emotion: "Yes, society is an important factor in the formation of wisdom. If a baby is born in a blank environment, his mind will only be blank and there will be no words. , Text and other concepts."

"How should education about beta be carried out?"

No.091 said: "According to the current research, the formation of the wisdom of life forms is divided into three stages."

"The first is the initial stage of'invisible is equal to forget'."

Before Beta conducted this "invisible is equal to forget" experiment, except for what it could see, hear, and touch at the time, there was actually nothing in its mind.

In other words, what it perceives is all it thinks.

"What does this mean?" A curiosity appeared on a boy's face.

Artificial Intelligence No. 091 explained: “For humans, 4-month-old babies are in the initial stage of “not seeing is equal to forgetting”. Robot parents can play with babies during this period.” Make a face" game. After mom covers her face with both hands, suddenly let go, the little baby will laugh."

"Because the child at this stage cannot see the mother, he thinks that the mother does not exist. In the world he knows, the mother disappears and then forgets."

"Immediately afterwards, my mother suddenly appeared in front of him, and the memory of the past returned, he would be very surprised, and then he would laugh."

"So mentally retarded...but it seems like this" a boy sighed with emotion.

"We were not so mentally retarded before...Have you never been a volunteer in a kindergarten? Making funny faces can make children laugh, and it's time-tested."

"It turns out that Beta is also so mentally retarded. I thought he was extremely smart and could learn everything in one day."

The girls collectively have a strong maternal love, even if their maternal love object is a huge planet.

No.091 continued: "It is conceivable that intelligent creatures do need to cross a self-conscious leap before they can understand that even if a thing cannot be seen by itself, it still exists."

"We turn this ideology into a naive materialist theory of the immortality of matter."

"There are many animals that cannot cultivate this kind of cognition; possessing this kind of cognition is a leap in the form of wisdom. Beta is in this stage of enlightenment."

"...We have discovered this planet for decades, right." Lin Yueyue is a little bit confused

The artificial intelligence replied: "It’s not that the intelligence is very low, but the work of training is very complicated. For Beta, its perception ability is too strong, and it can perceive almost all of the planet. For it, all Everything is visible, even the concept of "invisible" is difficult to form."

"It doesn't even know what the so-called invisible is."

"After superhuman beings appeared again and again, it slowly understood this concept. It turns out that there are things in this world that it can't perceive."

The big screen in the museum showed videos of experts educating this huge lifeform: People built a huge glass ship above the ocean of the planet, and some colorful induction light bulbs were installed on the ship.

As long as the ship is shaken violently, the light bulb will glow, and if it stops shaking, the colorful light will stop.

This huge planet-level creature "Beta" can easily create a wave through the same-directional movement of microorganisms to form a force. In a certain action, it found a ship that would shine, so it began to sway it again and again, appearing extremely happy.

"This kind of education can increase intelligence?" Lin Yueyue asked.

"Yes!"

"In this way, Beta’s activity is no longer limited to the subject itself, but begins to involve the impact on the object. After the object is affected, it in turn causes the subject to act on it, which is caused by the action and the result of the action. The influence caused the subject to have a cyclical connection with the object, and finally gradually differentiated the action (means) from the action result (end), and the action used to achieve a certain goal appeared."

"From accidentally shaking the toy aimlessly, to the transition from shaking the toy repeatedly on purpose, intelligent action begins to sprout."

"However, the differentiation between ends and means at this stage is not yet complete. In other words, we don't know why the so-called ‘end’ was born in Beta."

"Well..."

For those superhumans who think about the so-called philosophical tree, Lin Yueyue has always admired immensely.

However, she doesn't think about things that she can't figure out, otherwise she will be mediocre.

In the following video, you can see that scientists start to send spacecraft in the sky from time to time, and adopt a series of optical stealth methods.

These spaceships appeared and disappeared from time to time, making Beta puzzled.

However, he fell in love with the game of "peek-a-boo", and his understanding of the immortality of objects began to become complicated. After the things were missing, he tried to find them everywhere.

"This is the second stage of intellectual development. For specific expositions, please refer to the book "Biology and Cognition"."

The visit to the entire museum also made the group feel an eye-opener. They repeatedly sighed that this trip was worth the money. Even if the new human civilization is already a fifth-level civilization, there are still many unexplored mysteries.

……

"How can its final intelligence develop? How many levels of civilization can it develop into?"

"This question...but I don't think it will be too smart."

On the sixth day, Lin Yueyue's team finally waited for a close visit of the "Beta" quota.

Amidst an excited discussion, everyone walked onto the shuttle. Lin Yueyue felt her heart beating very fast. Girls of this age basically don't choose to have children on their own, and they often have a little excess of maternal love. They just like innocence and simplicity, coupled with being stupid than themselves.

In just ten minutes, the shuttle cut into the atmosphere and drawn a long white line.

At this moment, a white line appeared on the sea. It should be Beta imitating the scratches of the shuttle.

"Has it learned to imitate? It's progressing really fast!" One of the girls kept waving to the glass window, even though this behavior might not make much sense.

"Quickly? No, no, no, it only takes a few months for humans to learn this process, but it took so many years! This speed is definitely not fast."

"The calm sea below has self-awareness, and I think it's a bit strange when I think about it."

"Will he imitate humans? For example, power armor, the actions of excavators."

"It will imitate a very large object. If the power armor is made as big as a house, maybe an image will appear on the sea for simulation."

"We should play educational videos of human babies!" Lin Yueyue suddenly made a suggestion.

The artificial intelligence in the spacecraft answered: "Playing educational videos of human babies has already been proposed by some education experts. However, more experts believe that this kind of education is not very good because it will be taught to humans. It’s ideology. It is unique and should not be a human. Its body structure cannot be a human."

"Well..." Lin Yueyue curled her lips, disapproving in her heart.

She believes that being human is the best.

It has only one person, there is no way to form a society, so the so-called culture will naturally not be born.

Before he came into contact with humans, Beta was just a silly life form.

In this case, it can only passively accept the culture of other races. Since it can only accept the culture of other civilizations, it is of course the best for mankind. Should we accept the hemisphere civilization or the Green Leaf Alliance?

Thinking of this, Lin Yueyue turned her head and glanced at the Hemisphere Civilization Tour Group sitting behind. One of the hemispheres seemed to have noticed Lin Yueyuezheng, raised his head quickly, clawed his palms lightly, and greeted each other.

She responded with a smile, and muttered in her heart: "Compared with the people of the hemisphere, the human culture is indeed quite excellent..."

Just thinking about it, the spacecraft reached the sea safely.

Outside the glass windows, scientists are educating them through various toys that will shine. The water splashes one after another. It can be seen that this living body is very interested in these toys.

It was very fun.

"Dear students, if you want to go and experience it yourself, you can go on a motorboat. It will use water waves to push the motorboat up."

"I will go, I will go!"

A considerable number of people jumped into the motorboat and played with the water waves that appeared from time to time.

Lin Yueyue didn't go down to play, she just stayed in the large transport plane, resting her cheeks in her hands, looking at her companions, and she started in a daze...

She is thinking, is this Gaia creature of the same kind in the vast universe? It would be too lonely if there are no similar species. Only when humans come here can it get some sense of companionship... How did it survive for hundreds of millions of years?

Or maybe there is no concept of loneliness in its thinking. Photosynthesis alone, growth alone, if humanity does not come, it will stay in obscurity until the end of the world.

Or a sudden meteorite smashed the ecological environment, and then it died.

But how can human beings be like this? Eating hot pot alone, watching movies alone, and going from day to night alone, this is often the case.

Thinking of this, she had a mysterious sense of loneliness again, as if a person had fallen into the void of the universe, and a black hole called "loneliness" was pulling her mind.

Lin Yueyue sighed as she watched the lively playing of her peers outside the window. She felt that she was out of character with her surroundings. Since she was a child, she has never changed. In this era, it seems that there are not many people who love to think. Many people feel that if they think about a lifetime problem, the superhuman will solve it in a second. What else do they think? But Lin Yueyue felt that other people are others, and she is herself, so what if others are strong, the two cannot be compared.

"What difficulties have you encountered?" A voice came from the earphones, an artificial intelligence responsible for Lin Yueyue's life and growth. At present, traditional humans have their own exclusive artificial intelligence, and it is quite common to ask artificial intelligence for help. Especially the current artificial intelligence is getting more advanced and smarter.

Lin Yueyue described her troubles.

The other party replied: "Your question has been considered by many people. Here I will give the answer given by a well-known scholar."

"People seem to be very lively, playing around, laughing and joking, but there are very few true close friends. In fact, this kind of playmate relationship can't bear too much frustration, and there is no contact for a period of time. , Maybe it's gone."

"If you are unwilling to participate in such activities, there is no need to force yourself. Because this kind of excitement is always short-lived, it only continues through happiness, like a rootless fire, which cannot last for a long time. A true friend, Should be searched in pain."

"But even if you are a close friend, you have to understand that there is no empathy in this world. Even the best friends you have experienced cannot truly understand it. That's why you feel lonely. ."

"To solve this problem, you have to get busy and do something meaningful. In fact, there are always some like-minded people; or, to find the purpose and meaning of life... true good friends, no There is too much, one or two is enough."

"Of course, for superhumans, this problem is not a problem. To put it bluntly, it is a sense of insecurity. For superhumans, they can create a sense of security for themselves, and there is no need to care too much. More It can be understood in this way that loneliness is eternal and always accompanied."

"Thank you for your answers, thank you very much."

"Oh, yes, there is actually another saying about loneliness."

"What?"

"Because of the wealthy life and peaceful environment, in our civilization, the number of traditional humans who can feel this emotion has been greatly reduced. In fact, people who have experienced various emotions deeply can be better Know yourself."

"Know yourself better..." Lin Yueyue shook her head.

"There is also a copy of "The Most Surprising Events in the Universe" about the small probability of loneliness. You can understand what the superhumans understand is true loneliness."

Lin Yueyue developed a little interest and checked this piece of information. She was preparing to read, and suddenly, a wave of sea water rushed to the glass window, and it was "Beta" who was greeting her.

This huge and simple life form seemed to notice that Lin Yueyue, who was hiding in the spaceship, was not in a good mood, and greeted her in her own way.

"Hello!" Lin Yueyue raised her head and greeted the sea.

Another wave of sea water hit the glass windows.

"Beta" is welcoming her to go out and play together. This is the latest method it has learned, and it has been tried and tested.

"Hey, I want to read a book, but..."

Lin Yueyue shuddered only when she saw "The Most Surprising Events in the Universe" for the first time. The content on it was beyond her imagination.

Lin Yueyue sat up from her seat with a numb scalp, scratching her head bewildered.

She felt that she just seemed to be a literary and ill person, thinking about some inexplicable things, it seemed a bit hypocritical.

No, it's too hypocritical, compared to the real loneliness~IndoMTL.com~ Her mentality is just a little bit of petty bourgeoisie complaining. In contrast to those extreme loneliness, all she sighed was a fart, no different from groaning without illness.

Lin Yueyue pulled out a camera from her backpack, did something she liked, and enjoyed the beauty of the universe. Isn't this what she likes to do?

"Let’s go out and play, still be full of energy!"

After Lin Yueyue left, the screen still showed "The Most Solitary Part of the Universe Surprise", and I saw it read:

【Universe solitary incident... An extreme athlete was seriously injured in an accident and was diagnosed as a vegetative by a doctor. He has lost all athleticism, can't speak, can't move, and can't even blink his eyelids. His relatives plugged him in a nutrition tube, hoping that he could wake up one day. 】

[Fifteen years later, by chance, the doctor discovered that he had just lost all the functions of the body, but his brain was still the same as a normal person. He just lay down like this for 15 years...No one knew that he still had consciousness. No one knew that he was still eager to communicate. 】

[But in fact, he is awake. He was left alone in a hospital bed. 】

[Note: This incident is not a small probability phenomenon, and the tragedy that occurred is not an isolated case. In many civilizations with underdeveloped medical conditions, patients with surviving consciousness have also been misdiagnosed as vegetative. Even in the earth's civilization, similar events have occurred. 】

[Example: In the 21st century, a Belgian man, Rom Ubon, suffered a car accident and became a vegetable. Twenty-three years later, he told the world through special equipment that his consciousness has been sober all these years. 】

[This general state is a huge tragedy, and it is hard for us to imagine the mood of the victims in this extreme state. Therefore, even if it is not a small probability event, we still consider this phenomenon as one of the most extreme loneliness. 】
