"The third spiritual core mine was named 'Chico' by the elves. In the Elvish language, 'Chico' refers to 'leader'. This word has a derogatory and mocking connotation, similar to 'leading idiot'," Zero He gestured to one side, “This is Chico Universe. "
The "universe" that everyone imagined appeared in the image behind her, only darkness.
Cain was stunned for a moment: "There's nothing."
"These areas," Zero One drew circles with his hand, "look carefully, the color of these areas is slightly lighter."
Li Liang took a few steps back and squinted his eyes. Only then did he realize that the image was not pure black. The area pointed out by Zero Yi had a little gray mixed in, but the color difference was too small, and it seemed like an illusion.
"The Chico Universe did not form celestial bodies. These completely dark parts are dense particle clouds. According to the information we have obtained, the intensity value of the Higgs field in the Chico Universe is infinitely close to zero, and space-time is uniform in all directions. In the homogeneous state, there is no symmetry breaking, elementary particles cannot obtain mass, and there are no four basic interactions..."
Li Liang frowned and looked at his younger brother.
Li Shuang smiled and said: "There is no quark confinement in Chico Universe."
"Yes," Zero One shook his head, "Judging from the characteristics described by the goblin, the particle cloud filling Chico's universe seems to be composed of quarks that exist alone."
"Ah? If there is no quark confinement, then the total color charge is not zero," Dr. Sisson lost his voice. "The temperature has not dropped since the emergence of Chico Universe?"
"That seems to be the case so far," Li Shuang nodded. "We need more detailed observation data to understand the actual situation."
Dr. Sisson exclaimed: "It's amazing, the standard model we established is completely inapplicable..."
The three of them were still discussing. Li Liang pursed his lips and turned to look. Cain was dangling around, staring at the black in the holographic image and constantly adjusting the angle.
"..."
This woman probably hasn't noticed the color difference yet and is still looking for it. Others are not much better. K even took the opportunity to yawn.
"Ahem," Li Liang coughed lightly, "We will have plenty of time to research when we receive it. What is that? Zero One, you continue."
"Okay," Zero One tucked the ends of his hair behind his ears, "The only life in the Chico universe was born, Chico. It is scattered throughout the universe, and those shallower areas are its components."
"You mean, the entire universe is one life?"
Li Liang didn't notice who asked this question, and his heart was already filled with shock.
"Yes, an independent life that occupies the entire universe. It possesses a special ability that the elves call the 'thinking field'. Through the 'thinking field', Chico built a virtual civilization in which all the Each individual is a reflection of Chico's mind. When the elf first arrived at the spiritual gate of Chico's universe, he was guided into that virtual universe. The elf described it as a twisted, terrifying, and unreasonable world. Subsequently, Chico's Chico agreed to become a spiritual core mine on the condition that the elves must provide it with as much information on different civilizations as possible. In the end, the virtual universe built by Chico became like this..."
The holographic image suddenly lit up, showing a colorful universe on a white background. Large and small colorful planets were very close together. Some exuded hazy brilliance, like warm stars. The overall look was like a universe full of beautiful imagination. In the oil paintings drawn by young children, there is no dark and lonely space in the universe, only vibrant colors.
A green planet in the center of the image was enlarged. It turned out that the strong green was a jungle covering the surface. Countless elves lived in the jungle, with faces filled with joy.
"Chico built this virtual universe through the information he obtained from different civilizations. Each individual life in it is still a reflection of Chico's mind, but has its own independent consciousness, and even thrives like real life. Because of the information it obtained The information about elves in the data is the most detailed, so there are the largest number of elves in this virtual universe."
this moment.
Zero One seemed to have regained his human sensibility, tilting his head, looking at the world in the image, and said softly: "Chico used his body in exchange for the knowledge of life, and had a long and wonderful dream."
The images kept switching, and one civilization after another appeared on different planets. Each planet had a completely different environment, including the Terenza people, the Tifami people, the Pombotan people, and all kinds of inorganic creatures and fluid creatures. , gaseous creatures, and even species native to the spiritual world including river frog people.
Everyone was unconsciously immersed in Chico's dream, and colorful lights reflected on their faces.
Until K's voice sounded: "Group, is this your hometown?"
"..."
The atmosphere in the scene suddenly disappeared, everyone stared angrily, and the group slowly turned their heads expressionlessly.
K put on his sunglasses decisively and closed his mouth.
Li Liang said angrily: "Ling Yi, next one."
"The total mass currently consumed by the Gaias Storie universe is about 35%, and the total mass consumed by the Chico universe is about 43%. Together with the Enino universe, these three spirits have a significant impact in terms of remaining mining volume and takeover difficulty. The core mines are all of very high quality. The situation of the fourth spiritual core mine to be introduced next is much more complicated." Zero One looked solemn. "This is a type 2 civilization. The elves call it 'Zar'. Stands for 'grit'."
The image changed, and an earthy-yellow planet appeared, with a large space station vaguely in polar orbit.
"Only one planet in the Zar universe has given birth to civilization. The planet's surface is covered by desert, and its atmosphere is very thin. It is composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and less than 0.004% of trace gases. Its magnetic field strength is between that of the Earth and Jupiter. It has a planetary ring similar to Saturn, located on the equatorial plane and composed of ice particles, rocks and plasma. The average surface temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. The planet orbits the main sequence star in about 10,475.5 days."
The image was enlarged, and a continuous desert appeared. Tornadoes of staggering scale roamed the earth, like giants pacing with their rickets.
"There are large holes in the planet's mantle, which are rich in elements. From the known information, it is known that in the early days of the planet, some inorganic materials spontaneously formed liposomes under the catalysis of iron sulfide and nickel sulfide, achieving self-replication, which is consistent with The early stages of proteins on Earth are similar, but since there is no ocean on Zal planet, these organic molecules derived from inorganic substances did not form real proteins, but were combined into another protein in an unknown liquid called 'Zazatibo'. A kind of double-walled bubble structure, after hundreds of millions of years of long evolution, formed life in the true sense. The intelligent creatures in it called themselves the Zar people.
Theoretically, the Zar people and other creatures on the Zar planet are also carbon-based life forms, but this is not recognized by the Federation of Law and Order because they possess some characteristics of inorganic creatures, have slow metabolism, and can eat inorganic substances. Get energy. "
Three creatures appeared in the image. Two were very short. Their whole bodies were covered with dark red "cloth". Their heads were positioned like pointed hoods, but they completely covered their faces, leaving only three holes side by side. Another one next to them appeared. One was shorter, naked and squatting, and he looked a bit like a human. He had no gendered physical characteristics, a bald head, buck teeth, gray skin, and two small eyes sunken in the eye sockets, with dull eyes.
"The early social form of the Zaer people was similar to that of bees," Zero One said, pointing to two dwarfs in red robes. "The ones with this size are males and females with extremely high status. They mate in some unknown way to produce offspring. The offspring are It may be male or female, and there is also a certain chance that it is a genderless creature with severely degraded intelligence, that is, a 'fool'." She pointed to the ugly dwarf next to her.
"In the early days of civilization, the Zar people with normal intelligence enslaved fools to do manual labor. Even if the fools were their own descendants, they regarded them as livestock or property. However, with the advancement of civilization and the change of ideology, the living environment of fools has improved to a certain extent. improvements, but overall, discrimination still exists.
At present, the Zar people form the Zar Federation as a country and have established multiple colonies in this star system. The federal government is controlled by the elves and controls most of the armed forces. However, there is still a resistance that calls itself "Free Zar". Organize clandestine activities and gain widespread support on the Internet. "
"Internet?" Li Liang wondered, "Do Zar people also use the Internet?"
"Yes, the Zar civilization is in the Internet era," Zero One looked around at everyone, "The above is a brief introduction to these four spiritual core mines. I have compiled the rest of the information into a detailed report, which you can refer to at any time."
Everyone came back to their senses and looked at Li Liang at the same time.
Li Liang smiled: "Of the four spiritual core mines, which one should be taken down first?"
K, Cain and Li Ru said in unison: "Zar."
Dr. Sisson shouted, "Chico."
What the group and Robben said was: "Gaias Stoller."
Li Liang couldn't laugh or cry: "Why?"
Cain said: "Of course we'll start with the difficult part first, and we are too familiar with the resistance organization."
"Huh? Are you not interested in such a great life like Chico?" Dr. Sisson couldn't believe it.
Robben said in a low voice: "Once we control the 'Eternal Great Jar', we can train the Gaias Stollers into an army."
Li Liang originally wanted to vote for El Niño. The planet El Niño is almost the same as the Earth, and the air seems to be quite fresh. The savages may also be "hospitable" and bring out fresh and sweet fruits to entertain the humans who come from afar.
Now it seemed that other people's ideas were quite pragmatic. He had no choice but to look at each other and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, each will send a reconnaissance team to explore the truth."
The four civilizations of Enino, Gaius Stolle, Chico, and Zal are all in the hands of mankind, but there is still a long way to go before we can truly control them.
However, the humans present have full confidence.
When the discussion subsided, Li Liang glanced at Robben.
Robben stood up again and said: "Let me give you an overview of the spiritual world."
