In the research room.
The moment doubts arose in Cheng Sheng's heart, a voice came out from the consciousness in the empty petri dish.
wrong.
Saying the sound isn't accurate enough.
Strictly speaking, this is the communication between the spiritual consciousness in the empty petri dish and the living spiritual consciousness. It is a communication at the level of consciousness.
The voice from the consciousness in the petri dish sounded in Chenghuo's mind: "Are you Chenghuo?"
The moment the sound sounded, Chengshuo could clearly hear it: the sound made by the consciousness in the petri dish was still very different from that of a real person.
The sound made by this divine consciousness contained almost no human emotion.
This is an emotionless voice
After realizing this, Chengshuo immediately had a clear understanding in his heart:
It seems that no matter whether they are man-made products of high technology or derivatives derived from unspeakable creatures, they do not have the quality of 'emotion'.
In the entire universe, only humans have the trait of 'emotion', and this trait cannot be created or imitated.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the indescribable creatures will keep humans in captivity at all costs, spread pollution sources to drive humans into madness, and even fight among themselves to compete for human resources.
While thinking in his mind, Chengshuo did not forget to respond with his spiritual consciousness in the petri dish: "Do you know me? How do you know my real name?"
"Because I am also a survivor." When the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish communicated with the survivor, there was no emotion from the beginning to the end.
When it said these five words, "I am also alive," its mood was always extremely calm.
This kind of calmness cannot be imitated by humans.
Chengsheng can clearly feel that only a being who truly has no emotions can speak in this tone.
Therefore, the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish does not have emotions, and it does not seem to be an act.
Seeing that the petri dish spirit said that he was also alive, Chenghuo was shocked and said: "You said that you are also alive, but do you know where you came from?"
"Xuanwu Star." The voice of Petri Dish's consciousness sounded without any emotion.
Cheng Sheng was thoughtful and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with him again: "Before Xuanwu Star? Do you know where you came from?"
"Earth, I'm not sure," the petri dish consciousness replied: "Because I also have the memory of growing up in Shenshu Village. The two memories are mixed together, making it impossible for me to distinguish the truth."
——The reason why Survivor has the memory of Shenshu Village is because Survivor originally traveled through the soul instead of the physical body, so the memory remaining in the original body has more or less affected Survivor.
However, after practicing so far, his survival along the way has confirmed: his current self, his consciousness, has always been dominated by the consciousness of the earth.
The him on earth is the dominant self.
After understanding this, Chengsheng no longer struggled with whether he was from Shenshu Village or from Earth.
In the research room.
Not long after the birth of the petri dish consciousness, everyone had a sense of voyeurism in their hearts, and everyone unanimously turned their attention to Cheng Sheng.
Seeing that Chengsheng was just staring at the consciousness in the petri dish without saying a word, Grand Commander Gu Chengshun couldn't help but said: "Master Traveler, what is the situation now? Is the consciousness in the petri dish dangerous? "
"It shouldn't be dangerous."
Cheng Sheng was a little unsure and said: "The divine consciousness simulated in the petri dish this time is truly an existence purely formed by spiritual power. It has nothing to do with the indescribable creatures, and it does not receive any power from the indescribable creatures. .”
Grand Commander Gu Chengshun said in confusion: "If it has nothing to do with the indescribable creature, then what is supporting this spiritual consciousness at the moment is"
"Of course it's the electricity in your base." Chenghuo smiled and said, "The consciousness in the petri dish relies on electricity as an energy source."
"Or to put it more bluntly: you actually achieved the process of converting electricity into spiritual power through a large amount of experimental data and repeated calculations by the base computer, thus using electricity to simulate human consciousness."
After thinking for a while, Chengsheng continued: "In addition, since your experimental process is almost entirely based on my experimental data, after the birth of the consciousness in the petri dish, it will have almost the same memory and thinking as mine. .”
"It is no exaggeration to say that the consciousness in the petri dish is another me."
"Another traveling cultivator??" Gu Chengshun was stunned when he heard the words: "In this case, wouldn't that spiritual consciousness be necessary?"
It can be heard that there is a hint of fear in Gu Chengshun's words.
He is not afraid of real survival, because he knows that real survival will not harm people like them.
But the other spiritual consciousness that was born in the petri dish and seemed to be a living consciousness was strange and uncontrollable.
Considering all the magical powers and power of Cheng Sheng, Gu Chengshun was afraid of him.
After figuring out the key to this, Chengshuo smiled at Gu Chengshun and said, "But don't worry, although the consciousness in the petri dish has my own memories and even thinking patterns, it does not have emotions that are unique to humans."
"Human emotions are so unique."
Chengshuo sighed: "Not to mention your instruments and equipment, even powerful and indescribable creatures cannot create human emotions out of thin air."
Gu Chengshun looked thoughtful: "If there are no human emotions, that means the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish."
Chengshuo continued what Gu Chengshun said: "Not having human emotions means that the spiritual consciousness will not have any subjective initiative, and will not even take the initiative to do anything."
"Only when you come into contact with him and communicate with him will he react accordingly based on my behavioral logic and habits."
The meaning of survival is actually very simple: not having subjective initiative means that there will be no potential threats to the consciousness in the petri dish.
Or in other words: the consciousness in the petri dish is like a robot, only doing things according to the behavioral logic set in advance.
It's just that this robot has been entered into a living memory.
After understanding the meaning of survival, Gu Chengshun knew that the experiment was considered a success, so he hurriedly ordered the scientific researchers around him: "Quickly, back up all the experimental data, and then use these data as a basis to calculate Separate the various environments required for normal human consciousness.”
If a living person wants to survive on a planet, the atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. on the planet must be maintained within a specific range.
The human body is like this, and the soul or consciousness is no exception.
Through the survival of spiritual consciousness, Gucheng Shun has now calculated the temperature, humidity, pressure and other data required for the spiritual consciousness of monks in the transformation stage to survive.
Then the next step is just to follow the trend and calculate the data needed for the survival of ordinary people's consciousness, and it will be a big announcement.
After all this is done, the human body and consciousness can be separated from each other, and then the human consciousness can be transferred into the robot body.
In the research room.
Not long after this, the scientific researchers had written down the data of the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish, and then hurriedly released the spiritual consciousness in the body, wrapping the entire spiritual consciousness in the petri dish.
He smiled and said: "Now that you have recorded the relevant data, the spiritual consciousness in this petri dish has no value in existence."
"So, I'm not going to be polite. I want to swallow the consciousness in the petri dish to strengthen my own consciousness."
——As a monk in the transformation stage, if you want to strengthen your spiritual consciousness, you must find someone in the vast universe whose soul is very compatible with your own.
Then, by fulfilling these people’s last wishes before their death, their soul compatibility will be further improved.
After the degree of compatibility reaches a certain value, it will be devoured. Only in this way can the target soul be integrated with one's own soul, and then strengthen one's own consciousness to achieve the purpose of 'cultivation'.
But when swallowing another 'living' consciousness, that is, the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish, the process does not need to be so complicated.
After all, the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish is another kind of 'survival'.
Therefore, from the moment this consciousness was born, its compatibility with the living soul has reached 100%.
There is no need to do anything to survive, let alone fulfill its last wish, it can be swallowed directly.
And not just that.
Since the consciousness in the petri dish does not have the characteristic of 'emotion', when it is swallowed alive and faces death, death will not stimulate its will to survive.
In other words, the consciousness in the petri dish will not resist.
It will only watch helplessly as it eats itself alive.
Since the soul simulated by electricity is far less powerful than a real human soul, it only took less than an hour to survive the devouring.
After the devouring is completed, Chengshuo opens his eyes.
Gu Cheng, who was waiting on the side, saw him and asked curiously: "Master Traveler, have you just swallowed the spiritual consciousness in the petri dish?"
"Swallowed it." Chenghuo explained: "Actually, to put it bluntly, what I just swallowed was the electricity in your base. It's just that this part of the electricity was converted into spiritual power through computer calculations."
"Just like photosynthesis, although humans cannot directly absorb sunlight, they can indirectly eat green plants that convert sunlight into organic matter. Isn't this difficult to understand?"
"Understood." Gucheng Shunruo said thoughtfully: "Then what specific changes will happen after you swallow the soul?"
"My spiritual consciousness will grow stronger due to devouring it, and then become stronger." Chenghuo replied: "As for the functions of spiritual consciousness, you have already seen it from me, so you don't need me to explain it anymore. .”
Divine consciousness is spiritual power.
In other words, all he needs to survive is to continuously devour the consciousness in the petri dish and simulate it through electricity, so that he can continue to strengthen his spiritual power.
And the role of spiritual power is extremely powerful.
Thinking of this, Gucheng Shun couldn't help but feel hot in his heart: "Master Luxiu, can you teach your method of cultivating spiritual consciousness to people like us? As long as you agree, then no matter what the price, we will..."
"Don't think about whether these are available or not."
Before Guchengshun could make a promise, Chengshuo interrupted him and said: "Cultivation needs to be gradual, just like people with technological civilization climbing the technological tree."
"If a monk wants to cultivate his spiritual consciousness, he must first cultivate himself to the Nascent Soul stage, or the deep dive stage."
"Then, it is no exaggeration to say that there are only one monk in a million who can truly cultivate all the way to the deep dive stage. These monks all have great opportunities and luck, and they must be born on a planet dominated by a cultivation civilization. "
"This shouldn't be difficult to understand, right?"
Cheng Sheng gave an example: "Just like the top scientists among you, if you traveled to a planet dominated by cultivation civilization but extremely backward in technological civilization, you wouldn't be able to build airplanes and tanks if I asked you, right?"
"Because planets dominated by cultivation civilizations have no industrial base for manufacturing aircraft and tanks."
"And the opposite is the same: a planet like yours that is dominated by technological civilization also has no basis for monks to practice to the deep dive stage."
"understood."
Gu Chengshun nodded and said slightly unwillingly: "Then I will let nature take its course and not force a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, but only cultivate to a lower realm, right?"
"Then you don't need to practice." Chengshuo said with a smile: "You are all about to complete the consciousness uploading technology, you are about to give up the human body, and complete the mechanical ascension. You have come to this step, and you still want mine. What’s the use of practicing Dharma?”
"Ah, this." Gu Chengshun was speechless: "That's true."
In the research room.
While Furujojun was talking with Chengshou, the scientific researchers who had been instructed by Furujojun had also used the computers in Banwu City's underground base to calculate the environmental conditions required for the survival of ordinary people's consciousness.
If calculating the living consciousness data is to find a planet in the vast universe.
Then calculating the consciousness data of ordinary people through living consciousness is equivalent to finding an island on a planet.
Comparing the two, the latter naturally takes countless times less time.
Therefore, this calculation only took less than twenty minutes to complete successfully.
The next step was to test repeatedly and check the reliability of the experimental data. After confirming that the experimental data was accurate, several researchers connected the four soldiers soaked in the petri dish with the empty petri dish.
at the same time.
The scientific researchers responsible for monitoring the equipment reported: "The experimental subject's vital signs and mental consciousness are normal!"
Someone else followed up and said: "The environment in the petri dish is normal, everything is ready, and the consciousness of the experimental subject can be stripped off at any time!"
After hearing this, Gu Chengshun calmly commanded: "Okay, let's start uploading the consciousness of Experimental Subject No. 1!"
In the research room.
Following Gu Chengshun's order, the consciousness of the soldiers in Petri Dish No. 1 began to be stripped away and transmitted to the empty Petri Dish through electrical signals.
The process of stripping the soldier's consciousness went smoothly at first.
But not long after, the data displayed on the instruments and equipment in the research room began to become abnormal.
"there is a problem!"
A researcher said nervously: "Data No. 1 just showed that the vacuum environment in the petri dish was destroyed and the pressure changed!"
"I have a problem here too!" Someone else echoed: "The data from the No. 2 instrument just showed that the temperature in the petri dish is rising sharply!"
"This" sudden change made Gucheng Shun a little overwhelmed, so he could only look at Cheng Sheng aside.
After all, Cheng Sheng was just a monk, not a scientist, so it was not clear what happened for a while.
On the other hand, the scientific research staff on the side said with some uncertainty: "I just suddenly thought of a possibility: you said that the spiritual consciousness of the traveling cultivator simulated in the petri dish must really be the traveling cultivator. Do you know it?"
"Is it possible that it is actually just a strange substance derived from an indescribable creature with memories of traveling as a monk?"
"This mass of matter has the memory of Master Traveler. It deceived itself and made itself feel that it was Master Traveler's consciousness. Therefore, it deceived not only us, but also Master Traveler himself, and even more... We study Minori’s instruments and equipment.”
Study the facts.
After the scientific researcher in charge said these words, he looked towards Chengshuo with profound meaning.
The meaning he wanted to express was obvious: He had just swallowed it, and it seemed to have a memory of survival, but in essence it was a strange thing that was an indescribable derivative.
If nothing else, something big is going to happen in Chengsheng.
