Resurrection Empire

"You won't want to know for the time being. Don't worry about it for now, um, I'm talking again." Ren Zhong pointed to the 331 people who had been tied up for almost a month.

Based on the syllables he pronounced, the two took the first three sounds and named them, um hi um.

Um, hey, don't use compound eyes to stare at these two mammals, and the mouthparts are creaking.

"Devil! You will never be favored by evolution. The great empress will turn you into fertilizer sooner or later!"

This is the true meaning of the long string of syllables that only it can understand.

Of course, Ren Zhong and Yang Misi thought this was its name.

Chapter 623 The Mystery of Species Evolution

In order to curse these enemies, Um Hey Wu unexpectedly evolved its own mouthparts when it was captured, in order to make more complex syllables.

According to its imagined concept of an enemy from genetic information, it tried its best to ignite the hatred instinct in its vague consciousness, and wrote a language that it thought the other party might understand to curse the other party.

It's a pity that no one of its kind can provide a reference for it.

The syllables produced by its kind have no real meaning at all, and the reason for producing those repeated syllables is that their mouthparts can only be structured like this, just like the cicadas in summer nights can only chirp.

The chirping of insects is instinct, not human language.

Well, the same kind of people don't have such complex emotions. They only know the basic fear of facing death, the desire to chase after mating, and the life mission of producing gel, and nothing else.

The vast majority of 331 people have no hatred, no fantasy, let alone know why they died.

For example, even if the 331 people of the velvet beard killed another of the same kind in order to fight for the right to mate, there is actually no element of hatred. Like the anti-virus software in the computer.

Software antivirus is just instinct, and killing you has nothing to do with your life or mine.

Only um hello is special.

At that time, after I was the first to look up at the sky and saw the black dots appearing one after another gradually becoming obscuring the sky, um, hey, eh, I fell into great pain because the positioning organ was impacted by disordered information.

But unlike most of the fragile compatriots who were killed on the spot by this disordered information, it actually carried it down.

Then, it read a lot of new information from its own genetic information chain. It knew that it belonged to a sublimator, and also knew that these two-legged mammals were enemies. It also developed self-awareness, and knew that in many years There was once a great person born among the former compatriots. That senior was favored by the great empress, was promoted, was promoted, and became a great general.

But that compatriot was not a consciousness that was born on its own initiative, but just happened to be chosen by the passing empress by luck.

Well, it’s different, it didn’t get promoted passively, it just awakened the more complex thinking instincts of some human neurons after suffering the pain of natural selection, and gained consciousness.

It is more genius than that senior.

No one would have imagined that when the species of the 331 people of the velvet beard was facing extinction, the first individual who could speak and have emotions was finally born naturally, and the first sentence he uttered was a swear word.

How sad.

Ren Zhong and Yang Misi still didn't know the specific meaning of the long syllable "hmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." They just continued to observe it with great interest.

Yang Misi said: "Look, its body language is getting richer and richer. Can this synthetic species also evolve individually?"

Ren Zhong thought for a while, and then asked: "You said, when the human beings on the Origin Star changed from the ancient apes to the human beings, the individual who took the first step was also the same? The first individual with a high IQ took the lead to stand up, leaving Some things, and then passed on in the way of genetic iteration, continue to accumulate and precipitate, until one day the entire population has undergone metamorphosis?"

Yang Misi was taken aback, "This...this..."

Even though today's Chifeng tribe has touched the information depth of the third-level god particles, Yang Misi, a great academic master, is still stumped by Ren Zhong's ancient research involving ethical issues.

Ren Zhong obviously did not intend to let Yang Misi go, and asked again: "Old Yang, tell me, should the instinctive trend of biological evolution be physical enhancement or IQ enhancement?"

This is another question that Yang Misi couldn't answer.

Ren Zhong has already asked and answered his own question, "In the history of Yuanxing paleontology, except for humans, the evolutionary routes of other creatures are very simple and direct. Evolution instinctively pursues more appropriate but stronger powers, such as running faster , to jump higher, to eat higher leaves, or to dive deeper underwater, or to catch up with prey that could not be caught up, and to see angles that were originally invisible to avoid more survival dangers. The changes brought about by each evolutionary direction are usually immediate. Only the evolution of wisdom is different. If wisdom only increases a little bit, then it can’t actually change the living ability of the creatures at that time in ancient times. Therefore, I think physical strengthening That's the core."

Yang Misi was finally able to answer this time, "But the human beings chose IQ enhancement. But it can't be that after the birth of the first intelligent ancient ape, the IQ immediately changed from [-] to [-] to [-], and it was done immediately. What other people can't do, and then get the right to mate? It stands to reason that the competition for mating rights at that time had to be decided by the big fist. So the first intelligent ape at that time not only had a higher IQ, but also Have a stronger body? Then this is really good luck."

Ren Zhong smiled, "It may also be that the ancient ape really mutated to an IQ of [-], and then pierced the belly of the old ape king with a piece of wood with a sharpened tip."

Yang Misi shook her head, "This is unscientific, inheritance must have continuity. Besides, what caused such an exaggerated mutation? Is there any theoretical basis?"

Ren Zhong: "There is no theoretical basis, I am just guessing. I will make another assumption, if a species has a very superior external environment, no natural enemies, and has never been destroyed, then give this species hundreds of millions or even billions of years to survive. , Is it certain that an intelligent race can evolve? For example, on the source star, the dinosaurs that were destroyed in the disaster of generations, if the dinosaurs were not destroyed by the asteroid impact, would they eventually evolve a strange intelligent race of cold-blooded animals?"

Yang Mi thought for a while, "No. As you said, the dinosaurs have ruled Yuanxing for so many years, but they have been chasing taller and stronger bodies, and have not become smarter. The ancient apes only used a few Millions of years ago, ordinary mammals started to build cities."

"So, what is the power that guides the ancient ape to the path of intelligent evolution, and what is the power that bestows wisdom? Is it just a coincidence? As we all know, anything that happens by chance also needs a prerequisite. "

Yang Misi's eyes gradually lit up, "The fourth-level god's particle?"

Ren Zhong shrugged, "It may also be n level, this n is infinite. But no matter what the value of n is, we can draw a conclusion from history and the current situation that this power exists objectively. It is here."

Ren Zhong pointed to his own head, "Although we don't know why, we just got it. Maybe it was really... ahem, the first super-intelligent ancient ape on Yuan Xing walked away with a big piece of shit. Maybe eat some fairy fruit, anyway, it will come."

Um, hey, still looking at these two nasty guys.

They were still chatting like no one else was there, and they didn't even feel their own curses.

Do I have to change it up?

So, um, hey, finally changed the word.

"Demons! I curse you never to find a mate! I curse your abdominal cavities never give birth to gel!"

Ren Zhong and Yang Misi's eyes suddenly brightened.

Yang Misi shouted excitedly: "The syllables in the second half of it have changed. But the previous ehhhhhhh has continued. Good job hhhhhh! Come on! You can do it! You can evolve independently! You shouldn't be a sublimation tool of the hunter, you can become a new intelligent race!"

If the person who appeared here was not Yang Misi, but a normal imperial scholar, what should be done at this time is to quickly take out a knife to dismantle Uh Heh Uh into eight pieces, even the cells have to be dismantled.

Fortunately, this is Yang Misi, a Frankenstein with only knowledge in his mind.

He saw with his own eyes that a lowly life that obviously has a human gene fragment, but lives like a tool is going to be complicated.

Complexity means civilization.

Just stunned by Ren Zhong's question about the origin of human beings, he felt that he was witnessing a new miracle.

Well, the body is completely organic, completely different from the legion beasts on the source star who rely on crystal nuclei for anthropomorphic thinking, and also different from those space creatures controlled by the queen ship.

It was originally without full intelligence, but now it shows it.

Later, Yang Misi yelled to the staff outside: "Don't stand still! Increase the power of the quantum flutter sensor! You will be able to read more regular spirals!"

Ren Zhong was silent.

The way he looked at Hmm, Hmm, Hmm became a little complicated.

Before coming to the land of the sublimated, he had already made up his mind to be a cold-blooded butcher.

So far, he has indeed done so.

He never bestows mercy on any single sublimated individual.

After all, sublimators have always treated the humans of the empire in the same way, but you did the first day of the junior high school, and I will do the fifteenth day.

But he himself has no sense of belonging to the mechanical empire.

He could not inherit the hatred of the humans of the empire.

If it wasn't for what happened to Zhenjiang Hou Jinshi, he wouldn't even be angry at the ascendant.

But he saw the hard work of huh huh.

He sees the struggle of a new intelligent life on the brink of extinction.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be a big filter?

But that's not right, if you don't come to the Hundred Clusters of Stars, even if you give 331 people another [-] million years, this species is probably just an insect ruled by the sublimator, just a group of organic molecules in chlorophyll.

Chapter 624 The futile struggle

Ever since he discovered the fun of um, huh, Ren Zhong's life in the seventh star cluster suddenly became more interesting.

He simply asked Sun Ai to make an external communication system for the navigator, and then made a hat and put it on his head, so that when the mopping up army needs assistance, he can receive messages at any time no matter where he is. Then close your eyes and meditate, activate predictive and logical thinking, and calculate the three-dimensional cosmic coordinates for the outgoing fleet.

Speaking of this hat, there is also an interesting thing.

Sun Ai didn't understand the exquisiteness of those doorways, but only knew that Ren Zhong liked green plants, so he simply made the hat a big emerald green that could be clearly seen from tens of meters away.

When seeing this color scheme, Ren Zhongren was dumbfounded, as if his creed of life had been challenged.

He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know where to start.

It turns out that no matter in Yuan Xing or in the Chi Feng clan, this common sense has not been formed.

Ren Zhong thought for a while, and asked Sun Ai to change it to gray on the grounds that the emerald green was too conspicuous and would be easily recognized by assassins.

Although Sun Ai wondered why there were assassins in this place, seeing Ren Zhong's firm attitude, he didn't argue with him, and just followed his advice.

Ever since, Ren Zhong wore this gray hat all day long and stayed in Yang Misi's project team laboratory to deal with um, hello.

The Red Front Legion will stay in the Seventh Star Cluster for at least 30 years. Yang Misi's lifespan is limited and it is impossible to stay awake for a long time, so Ren Zhong asked him to formulate a five-year plan for related projects, and then go to cryogenic sleep. Waking up every five years, then tracking progress and making new plans.

Today's Chifeng Academy of Sciences is full of talents, and everyone can share everything, so Yang Misi doesn't need to worry about everything like in the past.

But it’s not without difficulties. Although he has shown more complex intelligence, he is considered an outlier among the 331 people in Rongxu, but his life level has not surpassed the limit of this species, that is, adulthood in three months and adulthood in ten years , quickly withered and died after ten years.

Subtle tests showed that Uh Hei was three years old when he was captured and had only seven years to live.

But it was so rare that such a sample came out. Both Ren Zhong and Yang Misi didn't want it to die early, so they had to try to prolong its lifespan.

In this matter, Yang Misi is not the most professional. People from the Chifeng Institute of Biology and Medical College took over, and he is also a master of the responsibilities of Sun Miao and Sun Ai, so let Yang Misi go to sleep or not. , does not affect the progress of this branch project related to the main line.

On this day, after the first three monosyllables were finally changed, Ren Zhong carried out Yangmisi's plan and brought fifty fellows to it, and sent them 51 of these 331 people were locked in a large prison cell.

Of course, the non-lethal weapons on the roof ceiling are still on standby all the time, this is to prevent the internal strife among the 331 people and cause casualties.

The fifty eh-hee-well fellows who were brought here were all the lucky ones who survived the impact of gravity and chaotic information, but the degree of evolution was not as good as eh-hee-well.

On the first day, um, huh, huh, I blended perfectly into fifty of the same kind, without any clues at all.

51 people with velvet beards and 331 people got together according to the old custom and arranged them neatly, forming a square array with seven horizontal lines and eight vertical lines, and the last vertical line with two orders.

Well, hello, mixed in, it is located in the third horizontal and third vertical position, unremarkable.

Although the large cell is spacious and empty, the genetic instinct of the 331 people of the wool beard makes this creature densely arranged autonomously when it appears in a group state.

Even when eating, sleeping, and excreting, the formation of these 51 beards and 331 people has not changed.

As for the feeding method, there is a special feeding port in this cell, which is on the ceiling. When it is time to eat, a hole will be opened in the ceiling, and then the matched plant compound food will be put in from the hole.

In addition, the mechanical arm will be extended from the hole regularly to clean up excrement and gel.

The living conditions of the 331 people in the beard are no different from those on the third planet.Before the arrival of the Scarlet Front Legion, there were also large creatures that shuttled among the 331 people of Rongxu.

Ren Zhong was not in a hurry, and just quietly observed the movement in the cell with the equipment.

The equipment monitors that when the 331 people from Maoxu were gathered together, the pheromone content in the air increased significantly.Although scientists are still unable to decipher the specific information carried in these pheromones, it is certain that these 331 people are communicating with each other.

Later, the positioning tolerance detector found that, although it was mixed in the crowd, its position was not standard enough.

The absolute distance tolerance between it and four of its kind at the front, rear, left, and right is greater than 1mm.

It also moves half a beat slower than others in its class, with about a 0.1-second lag.

These two nuances are difficult to observe with the naked eye, but there is nothing to hide under the gaze of the instrument.

In addition, the weight of uh huh is also changing.It lost 0.001 micrograms more body weight than its peers.

Obviously, more of the pheromones in the air come from um, huh, huh.

It's moving.

The next day, more complex changes emerged.

The movements of 51 beards and 331 people are no longer coordinated, and the reorganized formation after the meal is not as neat as yesterday. The distance tolerance between um, eh, eh has become more common.

During this period, Ren Zhong did not appear outside the cell during the whole process, but just observed silently, this was to avoid irritation.

He turned his head and told the assistants beside him, "These Velvetbeard 331 people have begun to develop self-awareness. Yesterday, um, hey, he used pheromone to teach its kind some new things."

The assistant nodded.

Ren Zhong said again: "To analyze the specific composition and energy level changes of the pheromone captured yesterday, use the subtle information flow scanner to observe its change law, and then compare it with the pheromone and its similar pheromone released separately in the past. Compare the pheromones that are usually released. The difference in these details is the self-cognition concept of the 331 people in Rongxu."

The assistant recorded it again.

Ren Zhong thought to himself, although Lao Yang is not very good at biology and sociology, his research methods are indeed one set of one set. Isn't this a breakthrough?

On the third day, a sudden change occurred.
