After comforting Zhang Yingying, ah no, after the experimental proof of "natural collapse", the "cheating demonstration experiment" began again, and the progress of the experiment was suddenly accelerated. Correspondingly, the configurations displayed and the grander framework structures became more and more abundant, and they were replaced more and more frequently.
A portion of people gnashed their teeth in anger when faced with such a large amount of information. A portion of people were infatuated and intoxicated. A portion of people were secretly delighted. But in the eyes of a few people, cough, to be clear, in Zhang Yingying's eyes, Luo Nan looked a bit...
Darkened!
Luo Nan, who had entered an experimental state, was like a callous creator. He mobilized the countless possibilities of the fine sand community, nurturing it into a nearly living reaction. But then he extinguished it one by one like he was strangling an ant.
He only kept a few possible branches and let them go again, causing the "vitality" in the sandpit to appear again. When it reached a certain level, he wiped it out again. He repeated the cycle again and again, strengthening and "inheriting" the configuration framework he needed.
Well, Zhang Yingying knew that this was a very normal artificial selection of experimental pathways, and it was widely used in many scientific research fields. And Luo Nan's operation was extremely calm, precise, and on point from start to finish. There was absolutely no excessive behavior that violated scientific ethics …...
But, but she was a petri dish!
All the products that simulated spirituality appeared in the sandpit. Even if they were temporary, shouldn't she put in effort and emotion?
There were times when reason was not worth mentioning in front of emotions. Zhang Yingying endured round after round. In the end, she really could not hold it in any longer and began to quarrel with Luo Nan …...
It was one-sided.
"That's enough. I think this is good enough."
"Still not enough? You've already destroyed thirty rounds! "
"Don't you have an answer? Can't we just copy him in the first round? "
"Hey, are you listening to my opinion?"
"This is too much!"
(Utensils)
"I'm not playing with you anymore!
Luo Nan jabbed down with an extremely callous finger just as his voice fell. Sand Goblin Number 33 within the sandpit was just like its many predecessors. It suffered a calamity of total annihilation. It nearly swelled to the point of bursting out of the sandpit before collapsing and disintegrating.
Zhang Yingying was so angry that she leaned back. She wished she could jump up and choke Luo Nan's neck … …
Hmm, maybe I can bear with it a little longer?
At this moment, a buzzing sound lingered in his ears. The Syntometers rose into the air again as usual and stared coldly at the Life Embers in the sand pit.
Luo Nan was like this as well. But his line of sight drifted away half a second later. It seemed to be looking at the writing on the blackboard he had left behind earlier. It also seemed to be piercing through the moisture in the air to point towards the misty ocean.
But soon, he turned his gaze back and smiled at Zhang Yingying.
"That's enough."
"Ah?"
Zhang Yingying was stunned. When she looked into the sandpit again, she saw that the sand that had just collapsed began to squirm strangely.
Yes, squirming.
It was impossible for a single grain of sand that had already disintegrated to display such a state. The reason for such a visual effect could only mean that there was an invisible network between the grains of sand that was connected in succession and conducted successively.
Due to the existence of this invisible vein, Zhang Yingying very naturally ignored the common gaps between the sand grains, and regarded the existence in the sand pit as one …
Hmm, from the looks of things, it seemed that the sand had been broken up into five, six, seven, eight pieces. The amplitude and frequency of the squirming of each piece was a bit different. Was it affected by the size of the split? But once these split pieces came together, the slight difference disappeared. In the time it took to take three to five breaths, there was only one frequency left in the sand pit. One pattern.
It squirmed, twisted, and occasionally rolled. It slowly gathered together, drawing a boundary with the inactive sand at the edge of the sand pit. It looked like a somewhat lively fat snake.
Well, it was also like seawater that flowed along a hidden channel on the beach. It wrapped around the grains of sand and followed a fine trench that was invisible to the naked eye. It gradually crossed the boundary of the sand pit and flowed in a meandering fashion on the even more expansive beach.
Zhang Yingying's breathing became shallow.
Her gaze followed the pile of sand on the beach for a long time. It seemed that even her breathing would become one with its squirming frequency.
"It, it … …"
"Sand Demon Number 33."
Luo Nan recorded the relevant configuration frame in the air as he answered, "It can be considered a creation that conforms to the experimental goal … … Basically."
"Conforms to the goal? What's the goal? "
Zhang Yingying had long since become muddle-headed from the large amount of information and the inexplicable emotions. Right now, she could only painstakingly recall and demonstrate the preset regulations before carrying out the experiment.
"Viscosity, plasticity, conductivity … … As well as the mechanism of temporary decomposition and remodeling during high-risk times."
Luo Nan casually reminded her. He wrote more and more on the blackboard at this time. Many of the special configuration features required large amounts of schematic conversion in order to be realized. And the condensed water vapor patterns floating around him were far too dense. In the end, he simply blew out a mouthful of air to clear the area around him. Only then was he able to continue.
"Holy crap! He really wiped … … "
"Don't! I haven't finished watching yet!"
"Screenshot party laughs but doesn't speak."
"Rip-Off party gently caresses the dog's head."
"Retard kneels. Great god, please link!"
"The link is here. Double-click to like it, dear … …"
Luo Nan's excessively casual actions created a chain of chaos in the many cyberspaces of the world.
Well, the blackboard writing on the beach really was becoming more and more chaotic.
Large amounts of diagrams were recorded. They floated in the air in the form of condensed water vapor. Their structures could be considered stable, but they were far too light. A gust of sea breeze could blow them away.
So much so that a considerable portion had already left the camera. Some were even submerged in the pervasive mist of the seaside. This made those configuration researchers who truly wanted to learn beat their chests and stomp their feet.
But before they had the time to howl in grief, Luo Nan's follow-up writings and explanations arrived. The seemingly concise yet extremely complex diagrams and the corresponding conversion and deduction process were like a soul-sucking monster. They firmly hooked their attention, finding it hard to loosen their focus even a bit.
Luo Nan mainly explained Sand Demon Number 33's basic regulations. Based on the characteristics of the sand, he added secondary regulations to it through a configuration method.
These were the things he warned Zhang Yingying about.
"All these regulations cannot be created out of thin air. They must be derived and extended according to the physical properties of the sand."
"The substrate is sand, and this is how it is. Changing the substrate requires a change in appearance. That is, the forces on the material plane are magnified in terms of the configuration concept. They accumulate layer by layer, ultimately establishing a passage from the material plane to the imaginary plane."
"Of course, this passage is hidden. A certain accumulation of conditions must be met before it can be opened. There must also be some margin for self-adjustment. This is a kind of regulation that imitates the laws of nature. It is also a display mode of mutual interference … … It can be considered a key point related to the design."
Luo Nan's explanation was quite on point under the layer upon layer of freshness. It caused a considerable portion of the live broadcast audience to be unable to extricate themselves.
Even if they didn't understand, they could still feel that they had gained a great deal, right?
But Zhang Yingying, who was close at hand, basically treated it as nothing. Most of her attention was focused on the body of Sand Demon Number 33.
This creation, which she didn't know how to accurately define, crawled out of the sandpit and did a stretch of movement. It appeared to be a bit hesitant … …
Zhang Yingying was hesitating as well. Her camera lens swayed back and forth between Luo Nan and Sand Demon Number 33. This caused the minds of the live broadcast audience to be torn apart once more.
A portion of the impatient people who preferred the material existence had already begun to curse.
"What the hell are you talking about!? Give me a close-up view! Is that thing alive? "
"I don't understand a thing at all. I just want to see a sand sculpture. Ah no, I want to see a sand demon … …"
Of course, the longer one looked, the more one would discover.
Sand Demon Number 33 lived up to expectations. The more focused the camera was, the more obvious the range of its movements became. It quickly passed its hesitation period at a location a bit far away from the edge of the sandpit. It began to crawl back … … or was it flowing?
It was really hard to use an existing framework to describe Sand Demon Number 33's mode of movement. However, this didn't affect its movement at all.
At first, Zhang Yingying believed that this fellow would display a certain fondness towards its birthplace, the sandpit. But reality proved that this wasn't the case:
At the edge of the sandpit, Sand Demon Number 33 would sometimes crawl and flow in a large range. A portion of its body would slide down the irregular edge of the sandpit. However, it would soon increase the frequency of its wriggling, driving its entire body to accelerate and escape. It seemed to be a bit repulsive.
But it continued to move along the edge of the sandpit. It had nearly made a small circle in a few breaths of time … …
Yes, it was heading towards Zhang Yingying.
Even as an energy provider, Zhang Yingying was constantly monitoring Sand Demon Number 33. But when this fellow passed by her, she still subconsciously extended her hand to touch it to get a more realistic tactile experience.
She did touch it. Unexpectedly, it was a little cool and smoother than she imagined. The first feeling she got was not the coarse feeling of sand piled up.
Most importantly, when she extended her finger over and made contact with Sand Demon Number 33, half a second later, the latter's flowing "body" clearly caved in and deformed to avoid her touch.
"Oh!" Zhang Yingying let out a short gasp. Even she didn't quite understand the tactile sensation at that moment … and how it felt.
Zhang Yingying didn't do anything else.
Just like that, Sand Demon Number 33 flowed under her finger and successfully circled around the sandpit. It headed towards the front of the beach where the waves were crashing against it.
Zhang Yingying was stunned for a few seconds before she zoomed in on her finger.
She could see that there were only a few grains of fine sand stuck to her finger. It looked like the new sand that Sand Demon Number 33 had stuck to it as it crawled and flowed … …
It was because of Zhang Yingying's actions that more and more people came to a realization. They grasped a plausible line of logic:
Zhang Yingying was Luo Nan's designated energy provider. She was the direct controller.
The controller possessed the right to control.
Sand Demon Number 33 didn't seem to be obedient … …
The conclusion was: The strange existence on the beach seemed to be an uncontrollable automaton?
This was terrifying!
Of course, the holes in people's imaginations were even more terrifying:
"Oh my god. This thing has its own consciousness?"
"It's alive?"
"Is it really creating life?"
