After more than a month, the observation experiment on the offspring of seductive souls has come to an end by next month, September.
Zhong Shanze discovered a problem from this experiment. As the souls continue to reproduce, the problems of future generations will become bigger and bigger.
The problem mainly comes from two aspects. First, the probability of the birth of offspring is getting lower and lower, and in the end it is almost impossible to be born. This is the end of this observation experiment, and the seductive soul cannot give birth to new offspring.
Zhong Shanze has conducted research on this phenomenon and believes that the reason may be related to the mixing of the soul matrix, which makes it difficult for new children to be born.
The soul matrix is a concept discovered by Zhong Shanze about two years ago. From the broken soul fragments caused by continuous reincarnation, he discovered the material that makes up the soul, and he named it the soul matrix.
The current method of birthing the children of the soul of the soul is to intercept a section of the soul matrix from each parent's body as the basis of their own new soul.
But it seems that there are some problems with this method. As the offspring continue to reproduce, the soul fragmentation of the parents becomes more serious, making it more and more difficult to give birth to offspring.
Zhong Shanze has tried a solution, which is to fill in part of the soul matrix from other places after the parents pass it on.
However, experiments have proven that this is an unfeasible solution, because after filling the soul matrix from other places, the newly born seducing soul cannot be called a descendant, but a brand new weird soul.
And compared with normal offspring, this kind of sutured offspring is more unstable, and the NPC has a higher degree of alienation. It is obviously not the assistant Zhong Shanze needs.
In fact, compared to the second question, although the first question poses certain obstacles, it is not very harmful to Zhong Shanze.
After all, although there will be problems in the offspring, it will only happen after many generations, so before that, it can still be used.
In comparison, the second problem is more troublesome, that is, as the number of generations of offspring increases, the degree of mechanization will inevitably increase.
Take Yang Wenshou's son in the last experiment as an example. This baby only has six basic templates that represent happiness. And then when they are used interchangeably with other emotional templates, the number becomes even more terrifying.
However, even though there are so many types of emotions, Yang Wenshou was still able to see through them in the last test. The so-called "daring monster, I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being." After all, a machine is a machine and not a human being.
The situation of the offspring of seducing souls observed in this experiment is even worse than last time, and the degree of worseness increases with the reproduction of offspring.
Also taking the basic template representing happiness as the object of observation, there are only 5 types left in the third-generation offspring, only 3 types in the seventh-generation offspring, and only one pitiful type in the tenth-generation offspring.
The most frightening thing is that by the twelfth generation, there is no basic template for happiness, and they are no different from robots.
When the experiment reached the fifteenth generation, due to the difficulty in reproducing offspring, there were only a pitiful dozen or so people left in the city that once had a population of tens of thousands of soul-enchanting souls.
The templates that were initially loaded onto them to guide their daily actions have now been almost completely lost, leaving only some of the most basic templates for survival.
So apart from eating and sleeping, they would do nothing all day long and just stay there quietly, making the city look even more empty and weird.
At this point, the observation experiment is almost over. Even if it continues, it is only a control group experiment to ensure that no unexpected situations occur.
Zhong Shanze took the results of this experiment and pondered carefully. Compared with the birth of children in the real world, what is the deviation of his experiment?
Perhaps the biggest difference between my own virtual world and reality is that the total amount of souls is fixed and will only be consumed due to experiments and cannot increase.
But this is obviously not the case in the real world. After all, just looking at the skyrocketing population since the industrial age, it is clear that the total number of souls must be increasing.
So what exactly exists that causes the difference between the virtual world and the real world? After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Shanze decided to use the codename "Styx" to describe the mysterious thing.
As long as he can discover what the River Styx is, then Zhong Shanze can continuously create souls in his own virtual world, and he no longer has to work hard to seduce souls in the real world.
After all, although the range of choices for seducers has been expanded compared to those invited, the extent of expansion is still limited, and Zhong Shanze still has to put some effort into finding it.
As for this experiment, although Zhong Shanze has discovered some problems that currently exist in the soul, he has no way to solve it. After all, the so-called "Styx" is involved behind this.
Although it is said that Zhong Shanze's channel is Fierce Ghost, when he was in the main god space, he knew about it but didn't know how to use it.
He had to wait until he left the main god space and came to this world before he started to use his own abilities to conduct some research and use. But after all, he was not a talent in this field. Starting research from scratch can be said to be quite painful.
However, Zhong Shanze is not an idiot. After more than five years of exploration, he can at least determine the concept of "Styx".
"River of Styx?" When Niu Dali heard this very novel concept from the master's teachings, he was naturally very excited. The master still valued me very much, and he actually told me such an important secret.
"Yes, this is the source of all souls and the source of our victory-weary technique," Zhong Shanze's disguised old voice came from behind the communicator.
After all, according to Zhong Shanze's deception, the so-called victory-weary technique is similar to inviting gods to take possession of the body, so there is no big logical flaw in saying that the source comes from the River Styx.
"As long as we can find this mysterious soul, we will not only be able to push the art of victory to an unprecedented level, but also be able to peer into the mysteries of the entire world. Therefore, our sect has been looking for this mysterious River of Styx for generations. .”
Hearing the meaning of the Styx River, Niu Dali couldn't help but feel dry for a moment, and began to imagine that he was the destined person who would lead his disciples to find the Styx River that they had longed for for thousands of years.
But the master's next words brought him back to reality: "Of course, this 'River of Styx' is still far away from you now. After all, you haven't had much time to start practicing."
Niu Dali, who returned from his dream to reality, felt a little depressed for a while, and even began to blame his master. It has nothing to do with me. What can you say?
"I'm just saying, if you see anything suspicious during your daily practice, you can report it to the master and I will go and investigate."
Zhong Shanze did have a plan to arrange for Niu Dali to search for the River Styx he suspected, but this task would definitely not be arranged now. After all, to be honest, using spiritual power on a large scale is still a bit dangerous in this world.
And Niu Dali, a 15-year-old child, has fallen into joy again at this time. Although the sect has never found the Styx, what if I am the chosen one?
