How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 51 Contact

"The thinking speed of a living individual is not only related to the performance of the brain, but also has a considerable relationship with the energy that the organism can obtain."

"If you think of the brain as a computer, it's easy to understand. To drive a supercomputer, you need to consume a lot of energy, and the premise of this energy is that there must be such an energy source in the environment."

"So, on a planet that is completely covered with ice and snow and the temperature is extremely low, if life is bred and the brain evolves, the speed of thinking should generally be very slow. This is the result of natural selection. In areas where energy resources are scarce, energy The one that consumes the least amount of brain is the most correct choice."

"Conversely, if there is life in a celestial body with abundant energy like a star, once life appears and has a brain, then their thinking speed should be at the same level as a super life with an optical brain, even if its performance cannot match that of a special The artificial optical brain used for calculation is only at a slightly inferior level."

"The comparison between the two is probably the difference between the early mobile phones and the Sunway TaihuLight located in Wuxi..."

Huo Gu finished analyzing the situation he had encountered before, rambling like a dream.

When the analysis was over, a long silence followed.

After a long time, Huo Gu complained on his own accord.

"What's the use of analyzing and analyzing now? Isn't it an afterthought? If I could pay attention earlier at that time, instead of focusing on that guy, or let the cell cluster in the orbit of the planet continue to stay in the In the orbit of the planet, I will not be reduced to such a predicament now."

Huogu is the collective consciousness of the entire cell population. Once something abnormal happens to Huogu, all the cells will inevitably be implicated, and vice versa.

At that time, Huogu did not expect that the global cooling would cause the slowdown of thinking, but only changed the permeability of the cell membrane to cope with the cooling environment.

It's no wonder that it made such a mistake, because it has never encountered such a thing, whether it is in the human period or after becoming a group thinking, it is unheard of.

Huogu is currently in a rather passive and unfavorable state. In this state, the only thing it can do is one - wait.

Hogu can interfere with reality because it has a group of cells that are completely under its control. The link between them is 'instructions', and the cells will faithfully execute them after receiving the instructions.

However, with Huogu's current state of thinking slowed down to the limit, it may take several decades for a simple steering instruction to be completely transmitted to the cells.

"This time I fell too far..."

"Why do you think I just... oh... Although life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood, I can understand this, but this is really too..."

In fact, the way to avoid slowing down of thinking is very simple, that is to maintain the temperature, which is an easy task for Huogu, that is to say, as long as it pays attention, there is no need to suffer this kind of crime.

Every time I think about it, Huo Gu is very annoyed. If it is said that this is a natural disaster that cannot be avoided, it will be fine. Huo Gu can accept it calmly, but the problem is that this is an avoidable disaster. This has led to the current situation, which is the root cause of Huo Gu's inability to let go.

[Are you so distressed? I think this state is okay, at least temporarily away from many troubles]

"What do you know? There is a crazy guy who always wants to kill me, what can I do? Like now, isn't it equivalent to saying to that guy, 'Come here and kill me'?"

Huo Gu, who was already restless, then subconsciously refuted back, asking several rhetorical questions in a row. In addition, during this period of time, Huo Gu has been maintaining a high-intensity battle, and his words are full of hostility.

Think about it, being suppressed and beaten all the time, and now someone pops up to make sarcastic remarks, who would not be angry?

However, the unknown interlocutor didn't seem to be irritated, but was aroused by Hogu's words.

【Eh--? How did you offend the other party? Can't you communicate and let the other party forgive you? 】

"I haven't done anything, the whole process is that guy is inexplicably crazy! And the crux of the problem is, that guy has no intention of communicating at all, every contact is full of hostility, meeting is a fight, if you change it , what are you going to do? Obediently be killed?"

"Also, let me tell you..."

Huo Gu, who hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, suddenly opened up the conversation box, and the words poured out like a flood breaking a bank, completely uncontrollable.

The unknown interlocutor thoughtfully did not interrupt Hogu's words, but quietly listened to Hogu's various resentful words as a listener.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Huo Gu finally ended the endless torrent of bitterness in his heart.

【Hmm, so it turns out that you are such an unreasonable guy, I sympathize with you...】

"That's right! Which unit of the International Astronautical Center is your kid? I'll talk to Old Tang later and give you some connections..."

Huogu suddenly got stuck in a tone of finding a confidant, and after the violent and surging emotions were vented, only calmness remained in his thoughts.

The two remained silent for a while, the other seemed to be patiently waiting for Huo Gu to finish what he wanted to say, and it was only at this moment that Huo Gu realized belatedly that he was talking to a completely strange and unknown guy Communicating.

After a long time, the unknown interlocutor who seemed to have a good temper also showed a little impatience.

[Why don't you speak? 】

Huo Gu just wanted to open his mouth to answer, but he took it back again when the words came to his lips, and after deliberating for a while, he replied to the other party's inquiry.

"Who are you?"

【Um? Why are you asking this question now? 】

"Well……"

Huo Gu was at a loss for words for a while, and the other party's question made him a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that he wanted to find a place to pour out his bitterness because of the pressure of living for a long time, right?

However, the other party didn't intend to delve into this, and gave Huo Gu an answer.

[Actually... I don't know who I am, I never knew, so I can't answer your question. 】

"Huh? How is this possible?"

Huogu immediately felt that the other party was trying to fool himself.

【it is true! 】

This time, the interlocutor, whose temper was excellent from the beginning, finally showed more violent mood swings.

【Well, since you don't believe me, you must already know who you are, right? Well, you come and tell me first. 】

【what do you? 】
