Deep Space Planet Leader

"This is...planet-level super lifeform? Planet-level?"

"Yes, after judgment, we think that most of the planet’s lifeforms, Including microorganisms and most plants, it is likely to form a single self-consciousness."

"However, this consciousness is still at the primary level of ignorance. It requires a certain degree of enlightenment to form a complete self-consciousness. Intelligence."

"...Really?" Li Yueyue shrugged her nose in an incredible way.

This anthropomorphic artificial intelligence nodded, said with a smile: "In Myths and Legends on Earth, there is a similar saying, it is called Gaia life."

"In remote ancient times, people proposed that all life on Earth can form an organic whole, so the entire Earth’s ecological environment has a certain degree of self-regulation. But here, we see this true A miracle of the universe, this planet does have an overall self-awareness."

Everyone in the squad, Lin Yueyue, is curiously looking at the planet under his feet, and its surface is full of thickness. In the atmosphere, the entire ocean presents a kind of milk-white.

There are a large number of plants, microorganisms, and some strange tissue structures distributed throughout the ocean. These tissue structures need to be supplemented by other microorganisms in order to survive.

Most creatures are able to live in harmony, and the competition between them is very gentle, but on the contrary, they live in harmony.

"Look at the analysis from the micro level, the microbes in the ocean are like the cells in the human body. They have a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for manufacturing nutrition, some are responsible for providing energy, and Some distributed neural network structures, which can feed back information and connect the entire ocean, are indeed a very rare evolutionary model."

A girl could not help but ask: "Then this planet is How did it form? The traditional ecological environment does not form such a lifeform, right?"

Special lifeforms are naturally brewed by special environments.

The code name of this planet is KIC00***91234, a peculiar planet that rotates at a high speed and has an intermittent magnetic field. It is expected that the Early Stage will be formed on this planet, with an extremely abundant ocean of organic matter.

The abundance of organic matter is at least thousands of times that of Earth!

This phenomenon is not uncommon. For example, Titan in the solar system is also full of organic matter on its surface. There are also lakes composed of organic matter, among which is included methane, ethane, and so on. These naturally occurring organic matter provide a lot of nourishment for the emergence of life.

But what is rare is that the environment of this planet is special, and its magnetic field will sometimes decline sharply. Without the defense of the magnetic field, the solar wind and cosmic rays will sweep the planet without any hindrance, killing the primordial above. Biological; and sometimes the magnetic field will be greatly enhanced, even this kind of strong magnetic field can affect the growth of life.

According to superhuman analysis and calculation, this periodic magnetic field change may be one of the main reasons for the formation of consciousness among all creatures on the planet.

The artificial intelligence explained to these students: "In Far Ancient Era, the organic environment of this planet is too abundant, but the ecological environment is so bad that these primordial lives were born Early -Stage, there is not much competition between microorganisms. On the contrary, there is more cooperation between them."

"You think, the surrounding environment is full of organic matter, there is no lack of energy, but the environment is very Bad, only cooperation can survive better in harsh environments, so under the action of a long time, it gradually evolves into a collective consciousness. This consciousness can automatically adjust most of the lifeforms in the ocean of organic matter and allow microorganisms to appear. A symbiosis phenomenon."

"Then gradually evolved a neural structure."

"Due to the formation of the planet's overall life, other single consciousness lifeforms could not evolve. ."

"Of course, this is just a preliminary guess, and the specific reasons have yet to be investigated."

Faced with this magical statement, the students all sighed.

This peculiar planet can be regarded as the most surprising discovery made by new humans in the Large Magellanic Cloud for so many years!

A large number of research forces have gathered near the planet, not only traditional humans come here to visit and travel, but also well-known superhuman scientists, plus scientists from allied hemisphere civilizations, and even War Star All moved one.

"Now, can we land on this white planet?" Lin Yueyue asked.

"Of course, but a certain degree of reporting is required. In order not to disturb this peculiar lifeform, the number of people who log on to the planet every day is limited. You can register first and wait a few days, when the time comes, there will be travel notices."

Seeing the expressions of interest from his companions, Lin Yueyue greeted: "Let’s go, let’s register first, and then go to the museum on the planet to see See how the research is going..."

"Walk around."

Everyone boarded an anti-gravity spaceship.

A girl sitting next to me was a little curious and said: "Sister Yueyue, you have had a lot of emotional ups and downs the past few days, are you in love?"

" Huh? How is it possible? Who did you listen to?"

"You are so good and so cute, don't you guys pursue it?" This girl is a little gossip.

Lin Yueyue played with her for a while, and naturally many people pursued her, but they were all rejected by her. How can women in the new era be addicted to love and love.

"I am an advocate of classical human thinking...the boys whose thoughts are controlled by hormones are too boring."

"Classical humans? Is it Plato's concept of love? Oh?! Really and fake! So traditional!"

"It makes you know me for the first time. Those who are addicted to their own desires are thrown into the virtual world by superhumans to live on their own Self-destructed!"

"Then what should I do if there is a boy chasing me?"

"It depends on whether his whole person is interesting, whether he has ambitions, and if he simply greets you If you don’t, let’s ask him to find a robot."

Just like this chat room, the destination is here.

In the new human civilization, the largest museum above each War Star is called the "Museum of Surprise".

These museums are tourist attractions in the new human civilization trading market. Almost every alien civilization that comes to the trading market will come here to visit and travel.

The price is naturally free, which can be regarded as expanding the horizons of low-level civilizations and spreading the popular culture of new human civilization, which can be regarded as a kind of cultural output.

Sure enough, a new branch was opened in the "Museum of Surprise", dedicated to introducing this newly discovered planet-class lifeform-"Beta".

There are pictures on the central screen, and videos can be on-demand. Superhuman groups have been teaching this creature for several decades, and some progress has been made.

Some hemispheres also linger in the museum, and the applause of "crackle" can be heard everywhere. They still haven't gotten rid of the applause.

"Hello, I am Artificial Intelligence No. 091, I will serve you wholeheartedly." The artificial intelligence in the museum can automatically interpret the information in the museum for visitors.

This planet-class lifeform is currently named "Beta". Since the original environment only had one consciousness and did not form a complex society, its intelligence could not be evolved for a long time. Only after human beings discovered it, after a series of enlightenment, it has the most primary level of intelligence.

Lin Yueyue said with emotion: "Yes, society is the key factor that forms wisdom. If a baby is born in a blank environment, his mind will only be blank. There will be no concepts such as language, words, etc."

"How should the education of beta be carried out?"

No.091 said: "According to the current research, the wisdom of lifeform is formed It is divided into three stages in total."

"The first is the primary stage of'invisible is equal to forget'."

In Beta, this kind of "invisible is equal to forget" Before the experiment of "Law", except for what it could see, hear, and touch at the time, nothing actually existed in its mind.

In other words, what it perceives is all it thinks.

"What does this mean?" A man's face showed a curious look.

Artificial Intelligence No. 091 explained: “For humans, 4-month-old babies are in this primary stage of “not seeing is equal to forgetting”. During this period, robot parents can interact with each other. The baby plays the game of "make funny faces". After the mother covers her face with both hands and suddenly let go, the baby will laugh haha."

"Because the child at this stage, look Without seeing mother, he thought that mother did not exist. In the world he knew, mother disappeared and then forgotten."

"Then, mother suddenly appeared in front of him, the memory of the past When he returns again, he will be very surprised, and haha ​​laughs."

"So mentally retarded...but it seems like this" a boy sighed with emotion.

"We weren’t so mentally retarded before...Have you never been a volunteer in a kindergarten? Making faces can make the little child haha ​​laugh, and it’s time-tested."

"It turns out Beta is also so mentally retarded. I thought he was extremely smart and could learn everything in one day."

The girls collectively have a strong maternal love, even if their maternal love object is a huge The planet.

No. 091 continued: "It is conceivable that intelligent creatures do need to cross a self-conscious leap before they can understand that even if a thing is invisible by itself, it still exists."

p>

"We have turned this ideology into a simple materialist theory of the immortal cognition of matter."

"There are many animals that cannot cultivate this kind of cognition; with this This kind of cognition is the leap of the form of wisdom. And Beta is in this stage of enlightenment."

"...We found that this planet has been in several decades." Lin Yueyue was a little confused.

Artificial intelligence replied: "It's not that the intelligence is low, but the training is very complicated. For Beta, its perception ability is too strong, and it can almost perceive all of the planet. For it Say, everything is visible, even the concept of'invisible' is difficult to form."

"It doesn't even know what the so-called invisible is."

"After the superhuman appear and disappear unpredictably time and time again, it slowly understood this concept. It turns out that this World has something that it can't perceive."

In the museum On the big screen, there was a video of experts educating this huge lifeform: People built a huge glass ship above the ocean of the planet, and some multi-colored induction light bulbs were installed on the ship.

As long as the ship is shaken violently, the light bulb will glow. If it stops shaking, the multi-colored rays of light will stop.

This huge planet-level creature "Beta" can easily create waves through the same-directional movement of microorganisms to form a force. In a certain action, it found a ship that would shine, so it began to sway it again and again, appearing extremely happy.

"Can this kind of education enhance intelligence?" Lin Yueyue asked.

"Yes!"

"In this way, Beta's activities are no longer limited to the subject itself, but begin to involve the impact on the object, and the object will be further affected after it is affected. It causes the subject to act on it, so that through the effect of the action and the action result, the subject has a cyclic connection with the object, and finally the action (means) and the action result (end) are gradually differentiated, appearing to achieve a certain goal "From accidentally shaking the toy aimlessly, to the purposeful repetitive shaking of the toy, intelligent action begins to sprout."

"But this is the first stage The differentiation between ends and means is not yet complete. In other words, we don’t know why Beta gave birth to the so-called “ends”."

"Well..."

Lin Yueyue has always admired those superhuman beings who think about the so-called philosophical tree.

However, she will not think about things that she can't figure out, otherwise she will be a mediocre person.

In the following video, you can see that scientists start to send spaceship in the sky from time to time and adopt a series of optical stealth methods.

These spaceships appear from time to time and disappear from time to time, which puzzles Beta.

However, he likes the game of "peek-a-boo", and his understanding of the immortality of objects began to become complicated. After the things were gone, he tried to find them everywhere.

"This is the 2nd stage of intellectual development. For specific discussion, you can refer to the book "Biology and Cognition"."

Visit the entire museum, which also allows the entire group Feeling an eye-opener, I repeatedly sighed that the trip this time was worth the money. Even if the new human civilization is already a Level 5 civilization, there are still many mysteries that have not been explored.

……

"How can its final intelligence develop? How many levels of civilization can it develop into?"

"This question...but I I don't think it will be too smart."

On the sixth day, Lin Yueyue's team finally waited for a close-up visit to "Beta".

Amidst the excitement of discussion, everyone walked onto the shuttle. Lin Yueyue felt her heart beating very fast. Girls in this era basically will not choose to have children on their own, and there is often a little excess of maternal love. They just like innocence and simplicity, plus a lifeform that is stupid than themselves.

In just ten minutes, the shuttle cut into the atmosphere and drawn a long white line.

At this time, a white line appeared on the sea. It should be Beta imitating the scratches of the shuttle.

"Has it learned to imitate? It's progressing really fast!" One of the girls kept waving to the glass window, even though this behavior might not make much sense.

"Quickly? no no no, it only takes a few months for humans to learn this process, but it took so many years! This speed is definitely not fast."

"The calm sea below has self-consciousness. I think it's a bit strange."

"Does he imitate humans? For example, the action of the power armor and the excavator."

p>

"It will imitate a very large object. If the power armor is made as big as a house, maybe an image will appear on the sea for simulation."

"We should give It plays the educational video of human infant!" Lin Yueyue suddenly made a suggestion.

The artificial intelligence in spaceship answered: "Playing the educational video of human infant has already been proposed by some education experts. However, more experts believe that this kind of education is not very good because it will It educates into human ideology. It is unique and unmatched and should not be human. Its body structure cannot be human."

"Okay..." Lin Yueyue curl one's lip , I don't agree with it.

She believes that being human is the best.

It has only one person, there is no way to form a society, so the so-called culture will naturally not be born.

Before contacting humans, Beta was just a silly lifeform.

In this case, it can only passively accept the culture of other races. Since it can only accept the culture of other civilizations, it is of course the best for mankind. Should we accept the hemisphere civilization or the Green Leaf Alliance?

Thinking of this, Lin Yueyue turned her head and glanced at the Hemisphere Civilization Tour Group sitting behind. One of the people in the hemisphere seemed to notice Lin Yueyuezheng, and quickly lifted the head, lightly bulging a few palms, and greeted each other.

She responded with a smile, and muttered in her heart: "Compared with the people of the hemisphere, human culture is indeed quite excellent..."

Just thinking about it, spaceship arrived safely Sea surface.

Outside the glass windows, scientists are educating them through a variety of toys that will shine. The water splashes after another. It can be seen that this lifeform is very interested in these toys.

It had a great time.

"Dear students, if you want to experience it for yourself, you can go on a motorboat. It will use water waves to push the motorboat up."

"Fuck, I go!"

A considerable number of people jumped into the motorboat and played with the waves that appeared from time to time.

Lin Yueyue did not go down to play, she just stayed in the large transport plane, holding her cheeks in her hands, looking at her companions, and she was in a daze...

She was thinking, this Gaia creature , In the vast universe, are there any other people of the same kind? It would be too lonely if there are no similar species. Only when humans come here can it get some sense of companionship... How did it survive for hundreds of millions of years?

Or perhaps in its thinking, there is simply no concept of loneliness. Photosynthesis alone, growth alone, if humanity does not come, it will stay in obscurity until the end of the world.

Or a sudden meteorite smashed the ecological environment, and then it died.

But how can human beings be like this? Eating hot pot alone, watching movies alone, and going from day to night alone, this is often the case.

Thinking of this, she had a mysterious sense of loneliness again, as if a person had fallen into the void of the universe, and a black hole called "loneliness" was pulling her thinking.

Lin Yueyue sighed as she watched the peers playing lively outside the window. She felt that she was out of character with her surroundings. She has never changed since she was a child. In this era, it seems that there are not many people who love to think. Many people feel that if they think about the problems of their entire lives, superhuman beings will solve them in a second. What else do they think? But Lin Yueyue felt that other people are others, and she is herself, so what if others are strong, the two cannot be compared.

"What difficulties have you encountered?" A voice came from the earphones, an artificial intelligence responsible for Lin Yueyue's life and growth. At present, traditional humans have their own exclusive artificial intelligence, and it is quite common to ask artificial intelligence for help. Especially the current artificial intelligence is getting higher and higher level and getting smarter.

Lin Yueyue described her troubles.

The other party replied: "A lot of people have thought about your question. Here I will give an answer from a well-known scholar."

"between people It looks very lively, playful, hehe haha, but there are very few true close friends. In fact, this kind of playmate relationship cannot withstand too many setbacks. If you don’t contact for a period of time, you may fall apart."

"If you are unwilling to participate in such activities, there is no need to force yourself. Because this kind of excitement is always short-lived, it only continues through happiness, like rootless fire, impossible lasting for a long time. The real Friends, you should look for them in pain."

"But even if you are a close friend, you have to understand that in this world, you don’t empathize with it. No matter how good you are, you can’t Real understanding. That’s why you feel lonely."

"To solve this problem, you have to get busy and do something meaningful. In fact, there are always some like-minded people. People; or, to find the purpose and meaning of life...True good friends, there is no need to have too many, one or two is enough."

"Of course, for superhumans, this is a problem It’s not that loneliness is simply a sense of insecurity. For superhumans, they can create a sense of security for themselves, and there is no need to care too much. It can be understood that loneliness is eternal and is a long-term companion."

"Thank you for your answers, thank you very much."

"Oh, yes, there is actually another saying about loneliness."

" What?"

"Because of the wealthy life and peaceful environment, in our civilization, the number of traditional humans who can feel this emotion has been greatly reduced. In fact, we have deeply experienced various emotions. Only those who are right can know oneself better."

"Know yourself better..." Lin Yueyue shook the head.

"There is also a copy of "The Most Surprising Events in the Universe" about the small probability event of loneliness. You can understand what the superhumans understand is true loneliness."

Lin Yueyue developed a little interest and checked this piece of information. She was preparing to read, and suddenly, a wave of sea water rushed to the glass window, and it was "Beta" who was greeting her.

This huge and simple lifeform seemed to notice that Lin Yueyue, who was hiding in the spaceship, was not in a good mood, and greeted her in her own way.

"Hello!" Lin Yueyue lifts the head and greeted the sea.

Another wave of sea water hit the glass windows.

"Beta" is welcoming her to go out and play together. This is the latest method it has learned, and it is almost time-tested.

"hehe, I want to read a book, but..."

Lin Yueyue shuddered only after seeing "The Most Surprising Events in the Universe" for the first time. The above content is beyond her imagination.

Lin Yueyue sat up from her seat with a numb scalp, scratching her head not knowing what to do.

She felt that she just seemed to be a literary and ill person. Thinking about some unfathomable mystery, it seemed a bit hypocritical.

No, it's too hypocritical. Compared with real loneliness, her psychology is just a little bit of complaint like a petty bourgeoisie. In contrast to those extreme loneliness, all she sighed was a fart, no different from a moan without a disease.

Lin Yueyue pulls out a camera from her backpack, does something she likes, and appreciates the beauty of the universe. Isn’t this what she likes to do?

"Let’s go out and play, you still have to be full of vitality!"

After Lin Yueyue left, the screen still showed "The Most Surprising Event in the Universe·Lonely", only See above:

【Universal loneliness incident... An extreme athlete was seriously injured in an accident and was diagnosed as a vegetative by a doctor. He has lost all athletic ability, can't speak, can't move, and won't even blink his eyelids. His relatives plugged him in a nutrition tube, hoping that he could wake up one day. ]

[Fifteen years later, by chance, the doctor discovered that he had just lost all the functions of his body, but his brain was still the same as a normal person. He just lay down like this for 15 years...No one knew He still has consciousness, and no one knows that he still desires to communicate.

[But in fact, he is awake. He was left alone in a hospital bed. 】

【Note: This event is not a small probability phenomenon, and the tragedy that occurred is not an isolated case. In many civilizations with underdeveloped medical conditions, patients with surviving consciousness have also been misdiagnosed as vegetative. Even in the Earth civilization, similar incidents have occurred. ]

[Example: In the 21st century, a Belgian man, Rom Ubon, suffered a car accident and became a vegetable. Twenty-three years later, he told the world through special equipment that his consciousness has been sober all these years. 】

【This universal state is a great tragedy, and we are really unimaginable the mood of the victims in this extreme state. Therefore, even if it is not a small probability event, we still consider this phenomenon as one of the most extreme loneliness. 】
