4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 1872
"Look at these things, they have lost their ... consciousness."
This is the underground laboratory in the Xumin camp. Explosive bugs and scholars are watching the video in front of them.
The picture shows a group of tiny machines.
Of course, scholars think that they feel more like some metal amoeba. These micro-machines are currently confined in a 'completely isolated room' in the laboratory.
This isolation room is said to be made of special materials, and even micromachines cannot be drilled out.
It ’s just that scholars think they wo n’t get out. These micro-machines are trembling continually, so they can no longer maintain the brave appearance they pretended to be, but they are all scattered and will not be combined back or Doing anything will only tremble there.
This phenomenon is called 'nuclear protector's madness', and the name was caused by the bursting insect, because it was hit by scholars with special weapons. It is said that the little nuclear protector is already eating their will and thoughts.
"Now what we want to see is the information." Burrower crawled onto the screen and pointed to the various materials popped up on it.
These data were generated when the small nuclear protector attacked the micro-machine. When their consciousness was disturbed by the small nuclear protector, they began to appear various 'thoughts' like crazy, and then this video device can analyze These emerging ideas are translated into the language of Xumin and displayed in front of scholars.
Nevertheless, scholars do not understand it.
"What does this mean ..." The scholar was very puzzled when he saw a lot of scattered words on the screen.
"You have to assemble them," said Burrower. "They look like this. Each or every group of machinery will only produce bits and pieces of information. These information seem to be meaningless words, but the After all the mechanical vocabulary is assembled, they can form their complete ideas! "
The Howler continued: "If you can analyze these, you will prove that your will is superior!"
"What does this have to do with will ..." The scholar said: "But since this is the case, you can try to combine and see ..."
"They ... civilized ... it turned out to be ..."
After reading for a while, scholars found that these pieces of information can obviously be combined into many meanings, but there is only one most reasonable meaning.
In general, this should be the case. After the scholars and the brave approached the micromachines, the machines became interested in them.
Because the machinery seems to be very clear, the individuals of civilized creatures here are very small, not as big as brave men and scholars, so they decided to make a disguised individual and then go and see what the scholar's "civilization" is like. of.
They soon learned about the scholar's mechanical communication methods, and then interfered with them, and then made a fake brave and dwarf, followed the scholar back here.
After the machine came here, it decided to let the false brave self-detonate. While blowing up part of the camp, it also let some micro-machines stay here and continue to observe the activities of the virtual people here.
But because of being hit by the 'small nuclear protector gun', this plan failed.
Seeing this, the scholar suddenly discovered a problem ... yes, the micro-machine was a fake brave man and a fake dwarf at the same time. Where is that fake dwarf now?
It didn't seem to appear again after approaching the camp. I didn't know where I went.
"It seems that you have also noticed that the disguised gnome has mysteriously disappeared." The Burrower said: "It is hiding somewhere, so this camp is currently in danger ..."
"Then you have to find it." The scholar said: "It may also explode ..."
"Report!" Suddenly, the scholar heard a voice, which was a communication from the guards outside: "That ... the brave appeared again in front of the door, do we want to let it in?"
"... The brave?" The scholar checked the brave's position with the repaired device, and immediately said: "That is true, let it in!"
After speaking, the scholar and the explode swiftly left the underground laboratory. When they went outside, they immediately saw the brave man who was coming in through the gate and the dwarf who followed him.
The brave seems to have a lot of wounds ... wounds, these wounds look like small holes, seems to be drilled by a micro-machine.
The situation of the gnomes is similar. Obviously, these two are true.
"It's finally back ..." The brave man looked at the scholar and said, "What happened just now? The guard there didn't let me in ..."
"Some minor problems happened before ..."
Scholars spoke about the false brave, and after hearing the brave, the brave said with some surprise: "They will pretend to be like me? It's so abominable!"
"How are you there?" The scholar asked: "It seems not easy to be able to run back ..."
"I was dragged there to the bottom by them before, and then they have been attacking me, but fortunately they can help get rid of those things." The brave turned to the gnome and said: "Let them come out."
"Wow!" The gnome opened his mouth and saw something glowing out of the gnome's mouth.
"These are ... light needles?" Scholars saw that they were all about two centimeters in size, and some of them were light-emitting objects like beetles. These are actually the mechas carried by the light needle, and the light needle is inside.
"When we were under siege, they rushed to save us." The brave said: "Although we don't speak the language ... but they seem to want me to bring them back."
The brave said: "So, at that time, I tried to escape from there with all my strength, but only a few ..."
"You did a great job," said the Howler. "So that we can learn more about them, let them come in the research room, and you have to fix it."
"okay, I get it."
.................. That's it, in the lab soon ...
"Their language is not difficult to understand."
Scholars and poppers stayed in front of the video installation and looked at the picture in front of them, which had the information translated after interpreting the light needle language.
The information indicates that the light needle was suddenly attacked by a micromachine recently, and the micromachine suddenly appeared in their territory, and then attacked them without saying anything.
This attack quickly killed most of the light needles, but there are still a few light needles supporting them. They are all among the light needles ... elite troops.
However, with the elite being killed one by one, the light needle has fallen into a stage of almost extinction, and the micro-machine does not give them any individuals to escape, it seems that they must be extinct.
But at this time, the light needle found the brave they came here, so they wanted to use them to escape.
When the brave finally fell, a group of light needles focused on helping the brave, and with the brave cooperation, they successfully escaped this part.
Although few, they are at least not extinct.
What surprised the scholars was that some of the light needles brought ... there is news about the tiny civilizations elsewhere.
Light needles are not very closed civilizations. They have connections with many nearby races. It should be said that there are some ... 'trade relations'.
The light needle said that the nearby races also sent messages of attacks, and micro-machines seemed to have attacked many places, all of which were attacks against various civilizations.
Moreover, the light needle also said that this has never happened. There have never been multiple civilizations attacked at the same time, but most of these civilizations did not send the kind of war signal that calls for the city of the ring, but only between civilizations. Send each other a signal of being attacked.
According to these signals, it seems that micromachines have occupied most of their cities, and they may have been almost completely occupied by now ...
However, the light needle believes that if it is a "normal" battle, they will not lose to the micromachine, mainly because there is a feeling of fear during the battle with the micromachine, this feeling will become more and more as the battle continues The more and more intense, this is the main reason for their failure.
Otherwise, they should be able to defeat micromachines, or at least drive them away.
However, it seems that after the micromachines leave the ground, the feeling of fear will disappear, and scholars have noticed this, and the light needle is also pointed out here. This seems to be that the micromachines cannot put them on the land, they must be blocked underground The reason for the fall.
... what do they want to do?
The scholar thought that this might be a serious problem, so it decided that it should go out to investigate again and help these civilizations defeat the invaders.
So, the scholar once again formed a team with the brave, and once again embarked on the road to deal with micro-machines.
However, this is just its idea.
"Although your idea is good, you should not run around now, you should stay in this place."
This is how the Blowworm told the scholar.
"But the current situation is very bad ..." The scholar said: "These civilizations may all be attacked and ... extinct."
"This kind of thing is very unlikely," said Burrower. "And you can't do anything useful even if you go out. Now you have to stay here, because there is still a lot to do here."
"The research here is almost done." The scholar questioned: "What else needs to be done?"
"... there is a defense here," said Burrower. "Maybe it will be attacked soon, so you should be in charge of the defense."
"What?" The scholar exclaimed: "Why should I command?"
"Because you should feel it." Burrower said: "This is an opportunity for you to ... grow more."
