Half-immortal civilization

(This chapter tries to explain the soul. ~, yo haha)

Zhang Jingyuan glanced at Zhu Danfeng, but didn't speak; Boss Zhang had signed the soul contract forcibly at that time, so of course he understood Zhu Danfeng's thoughts.But what can I say, how can humans compare with animals!
In the face of exploration and other things, Zhang Jingyuan can't provide more help. What this thing needs is the group wisdom of a large number of elites. The power of one person is relatively limited in such exploration.Therefore, Boss Zhang can only understand, the specific research results, etc., still have to wait for the research of scientists.The development of science and technology itself is a means of brainstorming and teamwork.What Boss Zhang can do is to silently shoulder the serious consequences of some scientific research failures!
Let’s talk about the exploration hosted by Li Xianjie. After careful consideration, he dispatched up to 20 unmanned spacecraft for the second time to start exploration; at the same time, in order to save time, there are more than 1000 unmanned spacecraft waiting behind—— If the previous unmanned spaceship crashes or there are new mission requirements, it will start immediately to save time.Some spaceships even temporarily installed some creatures, such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, etc., in preparation for experiments.

Wave after wave of unmanned spacecraft set off. They can only detect this strange world when they exceed the speed of light, and they often only have a working time of one or two days.But after a long period of exploration, the scientists finally discovered and confirmed that if they passed slowly in this world, the fleet would not be able to touch it at all—it would be like walking through a shadow, with no effect; If you move forward at sub-light speed, that is, if you move forward at 0.9 times the speed of light, you will communicate with this world.

Also, for the time being, no intelligent life has been discovered in this world, and even the weird life that has been discovered temporarily—let’s count it as life, still has a feeling of slowness—just like the elderly.

Then pass it like this!Xiao Qingshan and others have already decided.Passing through this world at 0.8 times the speed of light, although it will be slower, there should be no danger;

But before Xiao Qingshan could do anything, the new experiment stunned everyone!
After an unmanned spaceship sent in a few pets, chickens, ducks, cattle and other animals, those slow lives suddenly went crazy—like a hungry and dizzy person seeing big fish and big meat at once; and then in a short moment.All the animals died, and the bodies of these animals were intact, but according to the equipment detection on the unmanned spaceship, it has been confirmed-brain death, that is, the mental power has disappeared!
This incident really shocked everyone!

"Whether it is the soul or the spiritual power that is devoured is temporarily uncertain. The spaceship needs to be returned!" Guang Liwei's attitude was firm and calm.The little girl who was the first to implement perfect genetic technology back then has grown into a spokesperson for the new generation of life technology, embarrassing men as a woman.During the exploration of the fleet, Guang Liwei was responsible for the health of all personnel, including medical treatment, which was also under Guang Liwei's control.

Because of the reason of practice.Chinese civilization has done a lot of research on the soul and spiritual power; it's just limited to technical reasons, the spiritual power can already be tested with instruments, but the soul can only be done by a master of practice.For the time being, there are only a few fields in the empire that still use a lot of cultivation methods, and they cannot be almost completely replaced by technological methods-there is alchemy and cultivation itself.However, in alchemy, the middle and low-level parts can already be "planted in batches", but practice can use knowledge to instill technology and save the learning process.

It's easy to come back.As long as the speed of the spaceship drops below the speed of light, it will automatically leave that world.It's a wonderful experience—but no one thinks it's wonderful now, it's too dangerous, isn't it, it devours mental power and even soul!
If mental power is relatively simple, because Huaxia already has relevant mental power equipment, including the technology of knowledge instillation itself, which is a technological application of spiritual power.But it would be troublesome if it was an attack on the soul.Technological means cannot be used, and only masters of practice can be dispatched to explore.

This tossing took another year - the fleet definitely didn't dare to get too close to the location of that weird world, and the corpses of chickens, ducks, dogs, and cattle that were directly frozen in space were transported back.

"The soul is gone, and the rest is just a body!" As a master of cultivation, some people can directly feel the soul; in the eyes of these masters.Whether a life has a soul is as obvious as looking at a full drink or an empty bottle.

"A world that is almost nothingness, between existence and nothingness, has a special madness towards the soul. This seems to be very similar to the soul!" Yang Sheng squeezed his chin, and suddenly opened his eyes, "You say, is the soul itself also It's just a shadow! Therefore, we have been exploring for so many years and know nothing about the soul!
Because just like the shadow of a tree, this doesn't exist at all!To be precise, the tree shadow is just a piece of information, not a real and physically existing substance; it is just a phenomenon, a kind of information.It is also an existence between being and nothing! "

"This..." All the scientists and the people at the scene were stunned!
If the soul itself is a shadow, then where does the body come from?

But having said that, if it is said that the soul is a shadow, a shadow with information, it is really true!
Tree shadows are shadows that carry information!How is the information presented?Of course, it is the shape of the shadow - for example, through the shadow, we can see the side shape of the tree, see the density of leaves, see the wind movement, identify the direction, etc. These are the "information" of the tree shadow!
Then, in turn, is the same for the soul?It is between existence and non-existence, and it is a carrier of information!

Yang Sheng's explanation sounds reasonable.But here comes the biggest question, what is the shadow of the soul?

Is it a remnant of the world projection?

Or is it simply a shadow of another world—that is to say, our world is a world in a computer?
In other words, what Yang Sheng discovered by chance before——True Spirit, that is, human consciousness?

Life has always been a complicated problem, from the birth of life to the structure of life, especially intelligent life, the more you explore, the more problems you will discover!Most importantly, the exploration of life.It is often after uncovering this layer of mystery that one discovers—there seems to be something underneath!

"Maybe exploring this world will help us understand the essence of life." Yang Sheng said to himself, and suddenly raised his head, "I want to go to the scene to explore this world, who would like to come? For safety reasons. This time, sign up Only accept immortal level!"

"I'll go!" "I'll go!"...

Enroll now!Don't forget that this assault fleet originally gathered [-]% of China's immortal-level masters. It is not a big deal to find a few immortal-level adventurers.And there are a lot of scientists here—they are very old, and even a little bit of research has yielded remarkable results.

A brand-new expedition team was established in this way, and Yang Sheng led the team with more than 20 immortals, and set off on a 3-kilometer-sized, refitted frigate. 20 people.Each of them is an elite from all walks of life, and they are said to have strong combat capabilities. Apart from their own abilities, they even have a lot of high-tech weapons on them. These weapons are not mass-produced, but specially built. A powerful weapon specially equipped for masters.

Keeping in touch with the back at any time, the spaceship plunged into the space ahead under the escort of more than 100 armed unmanned spaceships, large and small.

It came out of the original space—time-space undercurrent.It was like coming from a cave to a vast plain, and the pressure on my heart and soul was instantly released.This is due to changes in space.Of course, it is also caused by the pressure caused by the undercurrent travel of time and space for more than 200 years.

In the dark days of more than 200 years, we have to worry about this and that all the time. This life is not easy. Fortunately, we are temporarily freed from it today. For a while, everyone feels like the sky is flying high.

Here, it should be regarded as another world connected by the undercurrent of time and space.The undercurrent of time and space is like a passage linking two worlds, and now that the passage is out, the eyes are of course spacious!
It’s just that the world in front of me is a bit special. The spacecraft needs to accelerate to sub-light speed to barely detect it, and to exceed the speed of light to see it—this kind of world.Even if it is known, ordinary civilization cannot explore it.

But not long after leaving the "passage", a strange aura enveloped the hearts of Yang Sheng and the others!
Sen Leng!It's like the coldness that comes to the depths of the jungle alone at night, like the kind of coldness that was topped by poisonous snakes and beasts.

There is also a faint smell of decay, just like the feeling that the trees in the jungle are all half-dead and there are spider webs everywhere, which is very weird and uncomfortable.

In addition to these, there is also a feeling of nothingness, this feeling is like an ordinary person being hung in mid-air, with nowhere to go.

Before the spacecraft had time to accelerate to sub-light speed, an alarm was sent, and an alien information intrusion was detected!
It even took the initiative to invade!Yang Sheng and the others gathered together, fully alert.Gathered in an empty hall, the hall is hundreds of meters in diameter. It used to be a warehouse connected with a small space, but now it has been transformed into a special "cage" - this is what Yang Sheng saw for that. Less than life ready!

Perhaps at the beginning, Huaxia could not detect these things that exist between existence and non-existence, but the strong technological background and the scientific and technological power of the pseudo-sixth-level civilization have allowed Huaxia to develop them in less than ten years of exploration. The corresponding technology can detect the existence of these weird things.

Don't forget, China's big migration this time has moved all of its family assets away; even this assault fleet has at least three complete sets of industrial equipment in the fleet, and the use of semi-intelligent machinery is enough to make China move in space. In addition, it also has a strong ability to self-replicate.In theory, as long as there is still a set of industrial equipment, the material part of the entire Chinese civilization can be rebuilt; in fact, with enough scientists and enough energy, plus some scientists, even if you have a set of The four spaceships of the void smelting technology can complete the reconstruction of the technological and social foundation of the entire Chinese civilization.This is the power of technology!
And similarly, in this time-space undercurrent, simply developing and producing some new equipment is really not a big problem.

"The spaceship accelerates to exceed the speed of light. I want to see what kind of thing it is, but I have the guts to trouble 20 immortals!" Yang Sheng sneered.I really thought that these 20 immortals were randomly selected, and they were prepared to capture this thing.

The yellow warning bar gradually shortened, getting closer and closer to the red warning bar, which indicated that the other party was approaching.

It's hard to believe that there is such a "life" in the universe that ignores the defense of the spacecraft and can really pass through the wall!

Boom... At a certain moment, the spaceship officially broke through the speed of light and entered the stage of flying faster than the speed of light.

And at this moment, the yellow warning strips on the spaceship came to an end, and the red warning strips lit up; at this moment, there was a slight shock around the hall where 20 Yang Sheng people were, and a layer of gray-white mist appeared out of thin air; In this off-white mist, there are monsters made up of dense mist... not just animals! (To be continued..)
