How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 50: Contact

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

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

"So, on a planet completely covered with ice and extremely low temperature, if life is born and the brain is evolved, the thinking speed should generally be very slow. This is the result of natural selection. In areas where energy resources are scarce, it is the most correct choice to evolve the brain with the least energy consumption."

"On the other hand, if in an energetic celestial body like a star, once life appears and has a brain, their thinking speed should be the same level of super life as the light brain. Even if its biological properties are not comparable to the artificial optical brain specially used for calculation, it is only slightly inferior. It's just a good degree."

"The comparison between the two is probably the difference between the early mobile phone and the Shenwei Taihu Light in Wuxi..."

Huo Gu was so chattering and analyzing the situation he had encountered before.

When the analysis is over, there will be a long silence.

For a long time, Huo Gu gave up and started a complaint.

"What's the use of analyzing now? Isn't it a backfire? If I could have paid attention earlier at that time, instead of focusing on that guy, or letting the cell cluster in the planetary orbit continue to stay in the planetary orbit, now I wouldn't have fallen into this predicament.

Huo Gu is the cluster consciousness of the whole cell population. Once Huo Gu has any abnormality, all cells will inevitably be implicated, and the reverse is the same.

At that time, Huo Gu did not expect that the global cooling would slow down his thinking, but only changed the permeability of the cell membrane to cope with the cooling environment.

It is no wonder that it will make such a mistake, because it has never encountered such a thing, whether it is in the human period or after becoming a cluster thinking.

At present, Huo Gu is in a rather passive and unfavorable state. In this state, the only thing it can do is to wait.

Huo Gu can interfere with reality because it has a group of cells that are completely under its control. The link between their interaction is 'instructions'. Only when cells receive instructions can they be faithfully executed.

However, with Huo Gu's current state of thinking slowing down to the limit, a simple steering instruction may take decades to fully pass to the cells.

"It's too big this time..."

"How do you think I can... Alas... Although life is not as good as I can understand, but it's really too..."

In fact, the way to avoid the slowdown of thinking is very simple, that is, to maintain the temperature, which is easy for Huo Gu. 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 annoyed. If this is an inevitable inevitable disaster from the sky, it's fine. Huo Gu can accept it calmly, but the problem is that this is an avoidable disaster. It is only because of mistakes that it leads to the current situation, which is the fundamental reason why Huo Gu can't let go.

[Are you so distressed? I think this state is okay, at least I can stay away from a lot of troubles for the time being.

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

Huo Gu, who was anxious, subconsciously refuted back, and there were several rhetorical questions in a row. In addition, during this period, Huo Gu has been maintaining high-intensity fighting, and his words are also full of anger.

Think about it, I've been being beaten, and now someone pops out and says sarcastic words. Who is not angry?

However, the unknown interlocutor did not seem to be irritated, but was aroused by Huo Gu's words.

[Eh--? Why did you provoke 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 key point of the problem is that that guy has no intention of communicating at all. Every contact is full of hostility. Meeting is a fight. If it were you, what would you do? Did you be killed?"

"And, let me tell you..."

Huo Gu, who had not communicated with anyone for a long time, suddenly opened the conversation. His words were like a flood of breaking the dike, pouring out, and he couldn't control it at all.

The unknown interlocutor was very considerate and did not interrupt Huo Gu's words. He just quietly listened to Huo Gu's angry words as a listener.

I don't know how long it took, Huo Gu finally ended the endless bitterness in his heart.

[Uh-huh, It turns out to be such an unreasonable guy. I sympathize with you...]

"That is to say! Which unit of the International Aerospace Center are you from? I'll talk to Lao Tang later and give you some way..."

Huo Gu suddenly got stuck in a tone of finding a confidant. After the fierce emotional vent, there was only calmness in his mind.

The two have been silent. The other party seemed to be patiently waiting for Huo Gu to finish what he wanted to say, and Huo Gu realized that he was communicating with a completely strange and unknown guy.

For a long time, it seemed that the unknown interlocutor with a good temper also showed a little impatience.

[Why don't you talk?]

Huo Gu just wanted to answer, but he took it back again. After thinking about it, he replied to the other party's inquiry.

"Who are you?"

[Hmm? Why do you ask this question now?

"Uh..."

Huo Gu was speech-wratic for a moment, and the other party's question made it a little embarrassed. It can't be said that he wanted to find a place to pour bitter water because he had been under too much pressure to survive for a long time, right?

However, the other party did not intend to delve into this, but gave Huo Gu a reply.

[Actually... I don't know who I am, and I've never known it, so I can't answer your question.]

"Ha? How is this possible?"

Huo Gu felt that the other party was trying to fool himself at the first time.

[It's true!]

This time, the interlocutor with excellent temper from the beginning finally had a fierce emotional fluctuation.

[Well, since you don't believe it, you must already know who you are, right? Well, you can tell me first.

[What are you...?]
