From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 371 The Creator of Life

"What did they say?"

Seeing this, hope rekindled in Liang Bing's eyes.

However, Tomoko did not answer her immediately, as if she had already started communicating with the order maker.

This is indeed the case, and Tomoko is busy answering questions from the order maker.

Although this was completely beyond her expectations, the order maker not only did not ignore her, but asked her some questions first. But the result was good, proving that he was willing to communicate with her.

"You don't belong to this carbon-based biological civilization, and you can't even be considered a living being?"

Obviously, the order-maker is only interested in Sophon itself, and the reason he is willing to pay attention to her is because he discovered her specialness.

"Yes, I am not a human. I was created by the Trisolaran civilization. At first, I was just an artificial intelligence like a microscopic particle..."

Tomoko also spoke frankly about this.

In front of such an existence, she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

"I didn't expect that your existence was created by a carbon-based biological civilization, but I have to say that this is really a great creation. They have also created a brand new life form..."

After Tomoko introduced herself, the order-maker replied with emotion.

From the fact that they call humans and Trisolarans "carbon-based biological civilization" on the left and "carbon-based biological civilization" on the right, we can also conclude that it may be a non-carbon-based life group.

All life groups that do not regard "carbon" as an inevitable core element of life can be called non-carbon-based life groups.

The non-carbon-based life group includes but is not limited to non-carbon-based life with non-carbon as core elements such as silicon, boron, and phosphorus.

The order maker may be the life group of the core elements mentioned above, or it may be a life group of other core elements.

Regarding this point, if the other party didn't say it actively, Tomoko would certainly not be able to guess it.

"Although you don't yet fully possess the basic characteristics of a living being, we predict that in the future you will be able to become a member of the many life groups in the universe."

This order-maker continued to communicate with the Sophon around the Sophon itself.

Now it seems that they are not only interested in Sophon, but their interest is very strong.

Just as Sophon was puzzled, the order maker finally began to introduce itself, and included the reasons why they were interested in Sophon:
"We are a multi-core element life group. Any core element life group that currently exists in the universe is our research target."

"For this research, we have gone so far as to transform ourselves into any kind of core element life form. There are also many carbon-based individuals that have undergone later transformations in our civilization."

"In the universe, other civilizations usually refer to us as 'creators'."

“We love to create, and we especially love to create life.”

"But for millions and billions of years, the works we created have not been perfect enough, or it could be said that the materials in the universe themselves are not perfect enough to bring us perfect creative inspiration."

"Whether it's carbon-based organisms, silicon-based organisms, or other core organisms, they all have many flaws."

They are qualified to say such things.

After all, any life group in the universe centered on any element has been studied as inspiration material.

Not only have they been studied, but they have also become creatures of any core element.

"We particularly hope to create a perfect life group, but until now we have not found any life group that is perfect. Even if they are added together, they are not perfect enough!"

The order maker, or "creator" continued speaking.

"Because there is already a life group in the universe that combines multiple core elements. It is also the closest to perfect life group we know in the universe."

"They can regard all kinds of celestial bodies as their own bodies, and all kinds of celestial bodies themselves contain a huge number of various elements."

"It is also because of their existence that it proves that element fusion is not feasible, and it also makes us give up the fusion of elements..."

When the "creator" said this, Tomoko finally understood why the other party was interested in her.

After all, as the other party said, she herself is also a created work.

In fact, it can be considered an excellent work.

It is natural for a creator to be interested when he sees an excellent work.

However, there was one thing in the other party's words that she didn't quite understand.

That is, the other party said that although she is not a living being now, she will definitely become a living being in the future.

The fundamental reason is that she has not yet fully possessed the basic characteristics of a living being. Once she has these characteristics, she can be considered a real life.

The creator also gave an explanation for this: "The so-called basic characteristics of life, or basic features, are also very easy to understand."

"Growth, reproduction, the ability to respond to external stimuli, metabolism, etc., these can be considered basic characteristics of living things."

"Do you have any of the above?"

"..."

This question really stunned Tomoko!

grow?

She really can't grow like humans and Trisolarans.

Breed?

She can't even have children.

Although she had the body of a human girl and outwardly had everything she should have, her organs did not have any function.

Even though she can no longer be considered an artificial intelligence in the strict sense after gaining human nature, she can't be considered a living being in the strict sense either.

"When you possess the above characteristics, not only can you grow, but you can also reproduce new protons that can be inherited by you. Then you can be considered a living being."

Creation went on to explain.

As creators of a work that still has room for growth, they chose to give enough patience and tolerance and look forward to its growth.

After all, allowing a special existence like protons to become a life group in the universe is a path they have never imagined, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

"Oh!"

Tomoko tilted her head, not quite understanding.

Although she always appears to be knowledgeable in front of Cheng Xin, Guan Yifan and Liang Bing, it doesn't mean that she really knows everything.

At least, her current thinking and ideas are not at the same level as the creator.

Naturally, she couldn't ask any profound questions.

If she knew now what the so-called memory, or consciousness, is like.

Perhaps, we can ask the creator for more advice on this issue.

For example, isn’t the independence of consciousness the ultimate development direction of life?
Since the independence of consciousness is the ultimate development direction of life, and every life form that develops to the end will eventually abandon its original body, is there any need to worry about creating a perfect body?

"Can I ask you a few questions? May I get your help?" Since she didn't understand, Tomoko simply stopped thinking about it and remembered what she was here for.

She seemed to know that because of her uniqueness, the creator was very patient with her, so she boldly and directly revealed her purpose.

"What do you want to know, what do you want to do? As long as it does not violate our principles and the plans made by the major alliances, we can help you solve your doubts."

Said the creator.

At this moment, a message was also revealed from its words, that is, there is a huge collective in the universe that is carrying out some plan.

I guess it should be something like restarting the universe and returning to motion, right?

Zhizi thought about it, but decided not to ask any more questions. She asked the question Liang Bing wanted to ask: "Do you know the Enlightener?"

Tomoko asked.

The creator thought for two seconds before answering: "There is no such group or even individual in the universe."

It sounded very affirmative.

This is natural. After all, Zhang Heng’s title of Enlightenment was only given to him in the known universe. How could the creator know it at that time?

"Are there other humans in this Level 3 environment? He is also a human individual, and probably looks like this."

Tomoko continued to ask, and at the same time sent the portrait of Liang Bing that she had drawn according to her memory to the other party.

"not at all."

This time the creator replied almost instantly: "But one of the Three-Body Civilizations that created you has also come here."

When hearing that there was a branch of the Trisolaran civilization there, Sophon did not react much.

Although the Trisolaran civilization was once her main civilization, she had to obey the Trisolarans in everything.

However, since she became the manager of Microcosm No. 647, she is no longer the Trisolaran artificial intelligence.

Because she was sent out and Yun Tianming became her new master.

However, Yun Tianming did not want to use her to do anything like the Trisolarans.

She was simply settled in Microuniverse No. 647 and made the manager of Microuniverse No. 647. The only requirement was that she should transfer the Microuniverse to Cheng Xin and others.

After asking two questions in a row and not getting the results Liang Bing wanted, Zhizi didn't dwell on it and took the opportunity to think about the future of the people on the spaceship: "Will the universe be successfully restarted? Can our memories really travel to the new universe as the Re-entry Movement claims?"

Before all this is realized, it could be a complete scam.

Now that there is a chance to know the truth in advance, Tomoko certainly doesn't want to miss it.

"The restart of the universe is inevitable, and the memory's journey to the new universe is also inevitable as long as we can hold on until that day."

Creation replied again affirmatively.

Although Zhizi didn't know why it was so sure, for the group of creators, this was not the first time they had restarted, and the business proficiency of the major alliances was unquestionable.

"When exactly will it be?"

Tomoko continued to ask.

“Not too fast, but not too slow either.”

The creator replied.

But saying it is the same as not saying it.

"Are there other universes outside of this universe, parallel universes where everything is basically the same except for the different civilizations?"

Then, Tomoko turned the question around to Liang Bing.

She also wanted to know whether what Liang Bing said before was true.

"Oh? You know this?"

At this time, the creator's tone was no longer as calm as before, but also contained a hint of surprise.

"Most civilizations in this universe have no concept of the existence of this universe and other universes."

"Even if it's a civilization that has mastered faster-than-light travel, or a civilization that has mastered microcosmic technology, or a civilization whose technological prowess is almost godlike in your eyes."

"As long as you don't reach our level, there is no way or ability to know all this."

"They believe that this universe is everything in the universe, and they also call everything in this universe except the micro-universe the macro-universe."

"But they don't know that this universe is only a small universe compared to the real big universe."

"There are many, many universes in the real universe...universes as large as ours. We call each of these independently existing universes a 'metaverse'. Ours is defined as the Pangu III metaverse..."

Afterwards, the creator also gave Zhizi a brief introduction to the concept of "metaverse".

At the same time, it was also very curious about how Tomoko knew that.

Although Chieko did not have the concept of "metaverse" when she asked this question, she at least knew that she was looking at the world from a narrow perspective, and that there was an even larger world outside the well.

"One of my fellow humans, she claims she was sent to our universe by a being who may be like you..."

If you want to seek help from others, there is no need to hide some problems anymore.

Furthermore, since the creators know that there are other universes outside of this universe, then for them, the creatures in other universes will definitely not be rare in their eyes.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that someone will try to capture Liang Bing for research.

“It is a possibility.”

After Chieko finished talking about Liang Bing's problem, the creator's words also confirmed that Liang Bing was not lying.

"My companion wants to seek your help and explanation. If she cannot return to her own universe before the universe restarts, will the restart have any impact on her?"

"Or in other words, will her existence have an impact on the restart of this universe?"

"Because she thinks she is an extra mass in this universe."

Chieko asked about Liang Bing's concerns again.

However, the creator laughed and then said: "It is the entire universe that is being restarted."

"By then, both the Pangu III Metaverse and other Metaverses will be restarted."

So, Liang Bing was completely worrying too much!

In the context of the Pangu III metaverse, her worries might actually come true. After all, as she said, she is an extra mass.

But on the scale of the entire universe, she is still in the entire universe and will not have any impact.

Her quality has just changed its position.
