"I don't know … fluffy, but I have this memory before. I know some information about the deaths of my kind. I know … how they died. Perhaps it's just as you said, this information can help us avoid the same death. nw.”
"But, fluffy, this information doesn't just stop there. It has other functions … yes … other functions, functions that can only be realized under certain circumstances."
Functions that can only be realized under certain circumstances … huh?
After listening to the creator's explanation, Lin continued her research on the mycelium.
It seemed … sending out signals was just one of the functions of these mycelium-like things. It had other functions as well.
The creator didn't know what those functions were because it hadn't used them before. But …
"Fluffy, this information will tell us to do something, do something," the creator told the ball of fur. "But it doesn't explain the reason."
Then, what were these actions?
"I'm not sure. Perhaps it will only have the corresponding effect at the corresponding place. I can tell you the specific pattern of those places, fluffy."
In the dream, the ball of fur received the information sent by the creator.
The information showed the specific pattern of a certain place, but there was no color or detail … so it was impossible to tell what it was for now.
But perhaps it would be able to discover something in the future.
With that in mind, Lin woke up from the dream. Lin once again studied the records inside the Star Bus, searching for the details. At the same time, she studied the Incan insects. She continued her research on the mycelium of the Edge Star. Lin discovered … that they did have a special ability.
In addition to sending information out. They also sent information inwards. The information didn't spread outwards, but instead extended inwards along the mycelium, as if they were sending information to something else.
And now, Lin had discovered that thing. When she used a small drill troop to drill into the deepest part of the Edge Star's underground, she discovered some special … machinery?
Some of the mycelium was connected to a large organ-like structure, made of pure metal. It was very similar to … Atlan's machinery.
It was large and buried very deep underground. The machinery's structure was relatively simple, it was only used for heating, similar to the heating technology of Atlan or Voidfolk.
It felt like some kind of machine that some creature had built underground a long time ago, but there was no way to reach this machine. It could be said that this machine was completely buried by the rocks.
However, Lin found that the machine had been in operation recently. There were traces of operation inside, as well as fuel and so on. And the reason for its operation should be related to the mycelium.
The mycelium drilled into the rocks underground. When they arrived at the location of the machine, there were many mycelium connected to the machine. Lin found that they were connected to the machine's operating system.
This machine's operating system … felt very strange. Even though its operating principle was very similar to the Atlan's and the Voidfolk's, the way it was operated was completely different. It was not suitable for large creatures like the Atlan to operate, and there was no part that was suitable for 'hand' control.
It was still running, but the fuel would run out soon. Although she didn't see the activation process, Lin was sure that the mycelium had the ability to activate this machine.
The machine should be able to receive the signal from the mycelium and activate the structure inside it. When the machine was activated, it could heat up many places nearby.
As for the Inca insect's cave, it happened to be within its heating range, which was why it maintained a certain temperature.
However, once it was done, the cave would return to its previous low temperature.
It seemed that the mycelium controlled the temperature underground by operating the machine …
But in reality, this wasn't the cause of the Inca insect's death. The death of the insect swarm wasn't directly related to the change in temperature, because it was the abnormal heating ability of the soldiers that caused the insect swarm to die in large numbers.
And the change in temperature outside couldn't achieve this, there were other reasons for their deaths.
But the Inca insect swarm did live here because of the warmth, but what killed them?
This machine was also very strange.
Regardless, through her research, Lin found that the mycelium could activate the machine through certain signals, and of course, it could also shut down the machine.
However, the mycelium itself didn't know how to think, so it didn't know when to activate or stop the machine. It only activated the machine by receiving signals from afar.
In other words, after receiving the signals from afar, the mycelium would control the machine. Lin had already understood the structure of the mycelium through her research.
Their structure was almost the same, but they were mainly divided into three parts. One part was used to send out information, while the other part was used to receive information.
This part only had the ability to receive, not send. The last part was used to send signals underground to the machine.
So … the mycelium here was similar to a transceiver.
However, it could send out many kinds of signals, but only one kind of signal could activate the machine. The other signals didn't seem to have any effect. Lin still didn't know what was going on.
Lin didn't find any remains of the creator, but there were a lot of mycelium clumps deep underground. Lin now believed that a creator might have created these mycelium clumps here.
These mycelium clumps should be used to receive information from afar and send it to other places. Not only would the creator create mycelium clumps on the remains, they would also create these mycelium clumps to receive and transmit information.
Could the mycelium here be used as a relay station for information? But Lin still felt that there were many suspicious parts … The main one was how the Inca insect swarm died.
So far, Lin hadn't found any evidence that these mycelium clumps had the ability to kill them.
But since she only found these mycelium clumps, she could only study them. Lin believed that the mycelium clumps here were created a long time ago. They had been in a state of hibernation for a long time, and most of them were now dead.
But recently, because they received some kind of distant information, the mycelium clumps here woke up again and continued their 'work'.
Could this be …
While studying these things, Lin continued to look at the Star Bus' records. Suddenly, Lin noticed something special in the records.
These records showed that the creator had attacked an area. Some of the organs in the area were damaged by the creator, and didn't recover afterwards.
After that, the creator took over the original location of the organ and began to send brainwave signals to the Star Bus.
These signals … were also shown in the records. Lin noticed that these signals were very similar to the signals sent by the mycelium. This gave Lin a thought.
Could it be …
Lin suddenly had an idea. She immediately had a pompom fly towards the location of the Star Bus' neural structure.
Most of the Star Bus' neural structure had been destroyed, but there were still a few parts that remained. These parts no longer had any ability to think, but they could still react, and these reactions could be used for testing.
Lin had the pompom imitate the signal sent by the mycelium in the Edge Star, then sent it to the remaining neural structure of the Star Bus.
At the same time, the pompom was also probing the neural structure's reaction …
… So that's how it was.
The pompom imitated the signal sent by the mycelium to control machinery, as well as some other unknown signals, then sent them to the Star Bus' neural structure.
And the pompom found an interesting part of the neural structure's reaction.
These signals could affect the Star Bus' neural structure, causing it to react differently. And the effect of these reactions … Although it was only a small part of the neural structure, Lin was able to calculate its effect.
It should be able to affect the neural structure to control some of the Star Bus' organs.
In other words, the information sent by the mycelium … could control the Star Bus.
In fact, it wasn't directly controlling it, but creating something similar to a 'hint', making the Star Bus subconsciously act.
Generally speaking, the Star Bus could ignore this kind of information when it was in a normal state, but if it was in an abnormal state, like this, some of its organs might act according to the hint.
But now, because the nerves were cut off from the other organs, the hint was useless.
But … Lin at least knew what these signals were for. The mycelium didn't just use these signals to control machinery, it could also give the Star Bus hints, making it do something.
But what kind of action would it do? What parts would it operate?
Lin felt that this could also be calculated …
Lin felt that all of this was related to the life habits of the creators themselves. They might use the mycelium to control some things to do things for them.
For example, signals couldn't be sent too far in the void, but as long as they made use of the Star Bus' transmission ability, they could send signals very far away.
Because signals could also be transmitted.
In this way, the creators could contact distant companions or communities at any time.
And the location of the creators themselves might not be fixed, so they needed to establish some transit stations, like in the Edge Star, where a large number of mycelium groups received messages in a fixed location?
That might be the case, but there might be more uses …
In any case, it seemed that some kind of creature intended to use these things …
