Shi Lishenghua introduced to Yin Lian: "Sand eels and deep-sea mermaids have their own language, but it is difficult for us humans to understand. Their language is a rather strange sound wave, which is quite pleasant to hear, but it can only be heard in the sea. It’s clear. With such a layer of glass, you basically have to use a lot of force to hear even a faint sound.”
When Yin Lian heard what she said, she tried her best to listen. Sure enough, she was humming very slightly, like a song.
In this regard, she is a bit like the legendary mermaid, or... siren.
She lay on the glass wall and looked at the players curiously. Although she couldn't communicate, she did show evidence of the "friendly attitude" described by the guide. Listening to the low-pitched voice, Yin Lian suddenly became aware of something and asked, "Do they have spiritual power?"
The guide was a little surprised, but still said: "You can actually discover this? Yes, but this is information that has not been made public yet. The sand eel and the deep sea mermaid have spiritual power and very strong spiritual power. At first, the language was blocked and they could not find it. We almost had a conflict when we didn't have the proper means of communication, and we relied entirely on mental power to communicate."
Yin Lian was a little surprised and asked: "Can mental power communicate directly?"
The guide said: "It can't convey specific words...but." He paused to emphasize, "It can convey general feelings. The most typical representative is the singing voice of spiritual singers. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still convey the meaning through them. The mental strength to receive the emotional information that the other party wants to express.”
Yin Lian was thoughtful, nodded to express understanding, and then asked: "So you used singing to communicate with them at the beginning?"
The guide replied: "It is easier to send mental power signals by singing, with the least loss and the highest cost performance. But it is not only through singing that messages can be conveyed. If the control is good enough, the effect of mental power can also be added purely through language."
At this time, Yin Lian heard an uproar around him.
They looked up in the direction where everyone was looking, and saw the sand eel, deep-sea mermaid suddenly starting to swim. Compared with ordinary fish, her body is slender and soft, and she actually looks a bit like a snake.
She swam on the other side of the glass wall, and little bits of light began to shine on her body. Although in terms of overall appearance, she actually looks more like a fish than a human, some of her beauty transcends species.
From the human perspective, she is obviously more interested in a certain kind of beautiful scenery than a "beautiful woman".
Players and staff alike exclaimed.
Yin Lian asked the staff: "What is she doing?"
The staff was also confused and said: "I don't know, this kind of thing has never happened before."
At this time, a man dressed as a researcher came over and started trying to communicate with the mermaid. The mermaid tilted her head, as if thinking about what the researcher meant, and then suddenly swam a short distance toward the glass wall near Yin Lian, and then pointed in the direction of the researcher.
The researcher talked to the mermaid in an extremely slow but spiritual voice, and carefully identified the other person's voice. Yin Lian was actually a little touched when he listened to the mermaid's whisper before. The language of mermaids is completely different from that of humans. It is not like any other-world language that Yin Lian has come into contact with...if I have to say it, it is actually more like dragon language - not in terms of language style, but in a degree that is difficult to imitate. They are all unique sounds that can be produced by a vocal organ that is different from human beings.
But it’s not impossible to imitate, it’s just that it’s difficult to imitate the change naturally, and it’s undoubtedly easy to damage the vocal cords.
Yin Lian wanted to understand the pronunciation pattern of the sand eel's deep-sea mermaid's language, so she got a little closer. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, the mermaid suddenly jumped up.
Most of the onlookers around were shocked, and Yin Lian was not surprised either. Unexpectedly, the mermaid slid back and forth along the glass wall a few times, then chose a position closest to Yin Lian, stopped, and began to sing softly.
The researcher finally realized what she wanted to express. He turned his head and looked at Yin Lian carefully and said, "She is saying that you are beautiful."
Yin Lian: "Is her aesthetic the same as ours?"
The researcher replied: "I don't know... I never expected that she would think people on land are beautiful. But in fact, when we look at her, we will also think she is beautiful. Although it is not the appearance that humans are used to at all, I think , maybe intelligent creatures have some similarities in their judgment of beauty."
Then he asked Yin Lian: "Do you want to say a few words to her?"
Yin Lian asked: "Can we? But can she not understand what I say?"
The researcher said: "Definitely not completely understandable. But she can understand some of the tone and gestures, just like if she is angry or happy, we can also clearly distinguish it. After all, she is an intelligent race. If she wants to show it, We can probably understand."
After hearing this, Yin Lian was indeed a little interested, so she tried to get closer to the glass wall.
The mermaid was visibly pleased to see her approach and let out a low groan. Although the sound from their side sounds very low, it is actually because of the special glass wall. If it were in the sea, the sound might sound very loud and distant.
Her singing voice or language is indeed beautiful. When she started singing with all her strength, everyone present was almost mesmerized. In this case, even the players who came into contact with mermaids for the first time could hear the joy in the mermaid's voice.
Yin Lian listened for a while, and seemed to have touched some characteristics of this language, but it was difficult to verify it at this time, so he could only suppress some thoughts temporarily.
Until Yin Lian and the others left, the mermaid was still a little reluctant to leave, and asked the researcher gesticulatingly when they would show up again. The researcher suddenly felt a headache. He tried his best to explain to her the current situation and the identity of Yin Lian and their visitors. He didn't know how long it would take to explain clearly, or maybe he still couldn't explain it clearly in the end.
When leaving, the guide said: "The two mermaids staying at the base are the envoys of the mermaid clan. Their clan is much larger than we imagined, and they also have their own technology."
Yin Lian: "!?" she said, "Can't we use electricity under the sea? Do they use energy?"
The guide said: "Firepower and electricity cannot be used. But don't forget that there is always no shortage of hydraulic energy in the sea. Moreover, they have developed a cold light source from their own biological characteristics, although it is smaller than that on the mainland. Light sources have certain limitations, but they can also do things that cannot be done on land."
Yin Lian suddenly felt more knowledgeable.
The guide said: "However, we have just started to contact each other, and we don't speak the language very well, so we can learn very little information. But once we can establish diplomatic relations with the other party, we can conduct various energy exchanges in the future - —Many resources are useless on the seabed, but their value on land is completely different.”
Yin Lian immediately realized that he was talking about something like energy.
They then visited two other filming locations. These two locations were also a bit eye-opening for Yin Lian. One was the Golden Thread Bridge Star City located on a near-Earth satellite. This is a gathering place for musicians in Xia Kingdom and a holy place for spiritual singers. When the contestants visit, they do so through online projection, but they can also interact with the singers, watch the competition, and communicate and interview with them.
Yin Lian's popularity showed great effect at this time. No matter where she was, she attracted a lot of attention, and there were people or not people trying to date her.
The so-called non-human one refers to a virtual singer with a very unique personality. Yin Lian didn't know that this kind of virtual AI would also take the initiative to date others. Because of her previous experience with AI, she always thought that AI's character was very disciplined, but this was obviously not the case.
Based on her understanding of Xia Guo's technology, she really couldn't tell whether the other party's behavior was really based on self-awareness, or if it was just a pre-set personality, so she couldn't take a decisive response for the moment, but just accepted it first. The other party's request to exchange communication information.
Later, she went back to ask Yin Changsheng. Unexpectedly, Yin Changsheng could not judge the actual situation of these AIs, and said: "Xia State has very strict management of this kind of highly intelligent and influential AI, and the related technologies are also extremely confidential." Well, in fact, humanized AI first began to appear more than a hundred years ago, but these technologies have not yet been made public. The AIs on the market now are all sophisticatedly designed artificial intelligence-like AIs. Are they human-like? Thoughts are actually very difficult to evaluate.”
What Yin Lian saw at the Golden Thread Bridge was actually a grand singing performance. As mentioned before, Xia Guo's greatest application of spiritual power was accomplished through singing. And they have been committed to appeasing the people's spirits through spiritual singing performances, making them play a substantial role in all aspects of life.
What's more, although it has not yet appeared in reality, in various literary works and research projects, many people regard influencing the material world through spirituality as a development goal. And the performance they came to interview was for this purpose.
In the Midsummer Festival in July, a total of 172 spiritual singers and diva will jointly participate in a concert, and complete the impact on the material world through spiritual resonance. They will be distributed on a huge astrology stage, and then use their mental power to make the astrology rotate with their mental power.
From a visual point of view, the scene was truly spectacular and extremely dangerous. But that's just an appearance - Xia State's technology is advanced and various accident protection measures are in place. Even if an actor falls from the planetarium stage, there will be no real accident if he is protected by a special airbag.
In addition, the last location to collect information is the near-Earth satellite, Xilu City. Based on the intelligence provided by Yin Changsheng and what Yin Lian actually saw and heard, this topic is quite heavy - Xilu City was attacked by star thieves in the first half of the year and suffered heavy losses.
Yin Lian finally chose Sand Eel and Deep Sea Mermaid as his topic.
So in the next three days, she and other contestants who chose the same topic will go to the Xia Ting Undersea Base to collect materials.
As a result, something big happened at Xia Ting Base on the first day there.
As the staff of this group of guides, he said to them as soon as he appeared: "I don't know whether you are lucky or not, but something big happened at the base last night. A very special change occurred in the deep-sea mermaid."
