Creating life?
Clearly …. That shouldn't be the case.
Zhang Yingying knew very well that Sand Demon Number 33, who was currently crawling on the beach, didn't have any power of its own. All of its energy source was provided by Zhang Yingying.
However, after being "electrified", this unique existence, not only did it appear to be autonomous on the outside, but its internal structure also clearly possessed a kind of cohesive gravitational force. One could even say that it was vitality. It was like the instinctive suction and desire of life, constantly seeking for more energy to support itself.
Zhang Yingying unconsciously gave more energy ….
"Hey. Restrain yourself."
"Huh?"
Zhang Yingying raised her head in a daze and saw Luo Nan frown. He extended his hand to point at her: "Your consumption is a bit large. It doesn't have any restraining mechanism."
"Mind your own business!"
Though she said this, Zhang Yingying still controlled herself for a bit ….
A bit.
Zhang Yingying had every reason to be excited. After the initial shock and chaotic period, she was now the one who single-handedly cultivated Sand Demon Number 33 …. Petri dish. Her current sense of accomplishment was brimming.
But on the other hand, it was just as Luo Nan said. Sand Demon Number 33 didn't have any restraining mechanism. Zhang Yingying couldn't control anything other than the energy supply.
It seemed to have its own goal. After bypassing the sandpit, it advanced all the way to the front of the beach. It crawled further and further, as if it wanted to crawl all the way into the sea.
Zhang Yingying was a bit uncertain. She raised her head and asked Luo Nan: "What is it doing?"
Luo Nan didn't answer. Even his lecture was interrupted. He just stared at the writing on the blackboard near him. It was as if he had entered a long examination. Perhaps he wanted to obtain an answer from it?
Zhang Yingying was a bit flustered. She unconsciously raised her voice: "Even you don't know?"
Only then did Luo Nan come back to his senses: "What?"
Zhang Yingying laughed in anger. She pointed at Sand Demon Number 33, which was about to 'flow' into the sea: "Did you create this to let it go into the sea?"
"Oh, it's most likely incapable of doing so."
Before Luo Nan's voice could fade away, a fine wave pushed along the front of the beach, smearing the coastal beach into a dark brown color. A portion of the wave just so happened to reach that position. It made brief contact with Sand Demon Number 33.
In the next second, Sand Demon Number 33's body shrunk by a size.
"Aiya!"
Zhang Yingying was so shocked that she stood up. As a "human battery", she immediately sensed that Sand Demon 33's energy requirement had dropped, which meant that its overall active structure had weakened.
It was "shaved" by the waves!
Sand Demon No.33 showed its sluggish side. It stood there in a daze without any follow-up reactions.
Zhang Yingying stomped her feet anxiously. She wanted to rush over, but Luo Nan took a step forward and reached out to grab her:
"Objective, objective!"
"Guest my ass! Let me go! "
"Even if you do, do you know how to get it back?"
"Quack?"
"Are you sure you won't cut it in half if you reach out? There's a pile of sand over there! "
(⊙ _ ⊙)
(Nh _ nh)
"Then what should we do?"
Luo Nan went, "Uh," and replied cautiously: "How about we first observe … … Oh no!"
His chest had suffered a heavy blow from Zhang Yingying. He could feel the cold aura of the White Rainbow in front of him. They were separated by two layers of skin.
Luckily, Sand Demon No.33 finally reacted at this time. It began to crawl once more, and its direction was clear. It was heading in the opposite direction of the shoreline.
The next wave chased after it, but it missed by a hair.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yingying waved her arms and cheered, "Well done!"
"Calm down. Calm down."
Luo Nan felt that Zhang Yingying had sunk in a bit. This wasn't good. But it was useless to say anything right now. He wasn't even the focal point. Zhang Yingying had forgotten herself. She completely treated Sand Demon No.33 as the main character of the live broadcast. The camera followed it from beginning to end, not deviating from it in the slightest.
Sand Demon No.33 worked hard. It seemed that it had finally discovered the fatal threat of the sea. It began its journey of escape, moving farther and farther away from the sea. It didn't look back.
However, it didn't turn back the way it came in a rush. Instead, it moved at an obtuse angle and vaguely headed in Luo Nan's direction.
Frankly speaking, its speed wasn't slow.
Zhang Yingying estimated that the length of this fellow's body was changing between 20 to 30 centimeters. And the distance it crawled (flowed) per second was a bit longer than its body length. And it seemed to be continuously increasing.
This speed was approximately … … 100 meters per hour?
"It's already surpassed most ants. Not bad."
Zhang Yingying also noticed that Sand Demon No.33 seemed to have naturally extended a new mechanism as it moved forward. Its moist body possessed a certain amount of tension. It seemed to be endlessly absorbing and gathering more fine sand in the area it passed through in order to expand its body size.
It probably needed to replenish itself after being 'shaved' by the sea.
Zhang Yingying was already used to using a life perspective to think about it. But then again, Sand Demon No.33's behavior was a bit like its many predecessors that had died tragic deaths. It was rather worrying.
But soon, Sand Demon No.33 proved that there was a certain reason why it was able to resist the cruel Luo Clan Screening and survive until now.
When its body size expanded, it affected the rhythm and speed of its wriggling … … In other words, when it reached a certain 'saturated' state, its fat body would produce a slight repulsive force. The effect of unifying its body was like a layer of isolation membrane. It made it hard for the fine sand in the area it passed through to adhere to it no matter what.
In the beginning, Sand Demon No.33 didn't seem to be aware of this.
It continued to increase the frequency of its activity. Even the tumbling motion of this fat body increased by several times. It was clear that it hoped to continue increasing its body size … …
However, it rolled over and over again, rolled over and lost again.
Zhang Yingying watched and watched. Then she burst into laughter. Her previous worries vanished like smoke in thin air:
This bro was really stupid to the point of crying. Could it be that it was able to 'live' until now because of its stupidity?
Many people in the live broadcast audience had the same reaction as Zhang Yingying.
But Luo Nan didn't laugh. He even nodded in the end: "Its desire driving end has already taken shape and has begun to display its effects. But it receives the protection of the basic structure end. It's the same as eating and vomiting at the same time. It won't suffer from indigestion or excessive obesity … … Currently, it has developed both ends, and it has realized two-way interference. It's a very healthy mode."
Zhang Yingying smirked: "If you say it's healthy, then it's healthy. But what about its IQ?"
"Your request is a bit excessive." Luo Nan finally laughed. His gaze swept over a few more times: "It's hard to say for its IQ. Its experience end seems to be accumulating and taking shape … …"
Just as he spoke, Sand Demon Number 33 seemed to have truly learned a few lessons from its many failures. The meaningless tumbling of its flowing fat body clearly lessened. Its forward speed slowed, and soon it came to a complete stop. There was still a distance of two to three meters between it and Luo Nan right now.
It stayed in its original spot like this, but its body actually collapsed. It inexplicably began to flatten out, extending in all directions. The relatively stable core mass began to flatten out, nearly merging into one with the slightly undulating surface of the beach … …
Zhang Yingying was completely unable to understand: "What's wrong? Is it so depressed that it's lying on the ground? "
"Don't add drama to it … … It's still an internal drama. Depression is an extremely advanced psychological mechanism. It doesn't have this material foundation yet. "
Luo Nan maintained a calm and bored state of research. He casually added a portion of content to the blackboard that was already unbearably crowded.
"It's sensing. It's receiving more information. You should be able to sense more energy consumption. Yep, it's an active sensing mode. It's similar to reaching out and touching. Of course, it's probing out grains of sand. This is already a type of ability. Its configuration transformation structure is like this … … "
Luo Nan gave a few simple explanations, but Zhang Yingying wasn't interested in any of this: "I just want to know. What will it do next?"
"When the desire drive takes form, it will possess the ability to act autonomously. All of its actions will start from the perspective of 'survival' and 'reproduction'. Of course, we didn't add in the 'hereditary' factor when we set up the rules. Therefore, its actions are easier to guess. "
"Survival?" Zhang Yingying seemed to understand something. "Obtaining energy?"
"It looks quite like it. So I suggest that you don't feed it too much. This is a very crucial period of growth. If it forms a habit of being lazy and gluttonous during this period, it won't be easy to change it. "
Zhang Yingying gave Luo Nan a hygiene ball for free.
But then she gritted her teeth and controlled the amount of energy she poured into Sand Demon Number 33 to the initial standard.
Sand Demon Number 33 collapsed more and more. It simply looked as if all the water in its body would seep into the sand. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Zhang Yingying couldn't help but worry: "Is there really no problem?"
"Its configuration transformation is orderly and orderly, and this is also a kind of energy-saving state. At the same time, it's increasing its contact with the external environment … …"
"What do you mean?"
"It obtains information and makes a response. Then it sees which response has the most substantial effect. It can obtain more positive feedback. In other words, it can be simply said that it's making a judgment. "
Zhang Yingying was shocked: "Does this stupid bro really have a brain?"
"Your way of speaking is far too loose. It absolutely can't reach the level of a highly intelligent life form. However, your perspective of observation is also problematic. You can't directly regard this pile of sand as an 'individual' just because it has a unified behavior pattern. In the end, it is still a kind of accumulation of tens of millions of special sand particles acting on each other. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to view it as a hive of bees, a nest of ants, a flock of birds, or a school of fish … … Or perhaps it's between a colony and an individual? "
Luo Nan blinked: "This is the special quality of a super configuration."
"Please! Don't lecture me!" Zhang Yingying raised her hand to beg for forgiveness.
"What I mean is that it's pitifully simple as a whole response pattern. It can only do what you saw at the beginning. If you view this as' one ', then one is one. There are no other possibilities."
Luo Nan pointed at the Syntome floating in midair as he spoke to this point: "But if you take this' one 'and split it into even finer and simpler patterns … … As long as the simple patterns that are split out still possess the meaning of configuration, then one is a thousand, and one is ten thousand."
"And if they are able to possess an efficient and common method of communication between them, then the combined configuration patterns between them will be innumerable. The innumerable combined configuration patterns will bring about endless possibilities."
"The possibilities rapidly expand and accumulate. Inconceivable characteristics will emerge from within them when the magical probabilities display their effects."
"Yes. This is precisely the importance of Syntome."
