Chapter 199 New Ability [Part 1]
After leaving some necessary supplies for Liu Chang and the others, Zhang Beihai piloted the Navigator and left Green Star.
Some crew members originally planned to stay and assist Principal Liu with his work, but Liu Chang said that clones were easier to use and directly rejected their offer.
That's understandable. The decision to stay on Green Star stemmed from Liu Chang's curiosity, and there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any danger.
If these people follow Liu Chang, they will be risking their lives to accompany him. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will all fall on Old Liu.
He doesn't want to take the blame.
As the Navigator continued to ascend until it disappeared into the horizon, Liu Chang and Shi Qiang finally collected the last batch of airdropped supplies and put them away.
Old Zhang was quite loyal; he left Principal Liu and his team a Blue Space upgraded by nanobots. It was equipped with the latest annihilation thrusters, and the main AI even left a Cheng Xing subroutine to assist in the ship's operation.
The consciousness of the artificial intelligence Cheng Xing was constructed based on Yun Tianming, but it is quite difficult to separate a new consciousness from it.
Therefore, the intelligence of this shipborne AI is not as powerful as that of the main program Cheng Xing, but it is still sufficient. Otherwise, Liu Chang and Shi Qiang would not be able to control such a large spaceship.
"To be honest, something feels a little off. Zhang Beihai sent us a spaceship, but why is it the Blue Space?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chang chuckled and said.
"That's because the Natural Selection is his own ship. If I'm not mistaken, he probably plans to rebuild the Natural Selection in the future. After all, the Navigator belongs to Lin Xuan. After this mission is over, Lin Xuan will probably take this space Leviathan back."
"Moreover, we also had other intentions. After all, if we stay here, we are very likely to be discovered by the Trisolaran civilization. Once the Trisolarans send a fleet to Green Star, this ship will probably be taken away by the Trisolaran civilization for research. So leaving the Blue Space is also for the future."
After this explanation, Shi Qiang finally understood.
"No wonder Chu Yan's expression was so ugly just now, so that's why."
Just as the two were talking, three tree-men suddenly appeared beside Shi Qiang from behind.
"Gentlemen, we have something to say to you."
"Oh?"
Liu Chang immediately became interested. His original purpose in staying here was to observe the future development of the tree civilization, but he did not expect that the other party would contact him so quickly.
The three tree beings are the computing terminals of the entire tree civilization. Their computing methods are somewhat similar to the new Zerg in StarCraft, but also different.
The Zerg's mindset is based entirely on the decisions of a single consciousness to control the entire Zerg race, but the Tree Civilization is different; they operate on a game-theoretic mechanism.
The three tree beings represent the wisdom of three decision-making powers. When the tree civilization encounters an event that requires a decision, the three tree beings will jointly vote on whether to give a yes or no. Since this is an odd-number voting method, it is easy to give a decision.
The advantage of this is that the Tree Civilization can make quick decisions when faced with any problem. Their technology development speed is tens of millions of times faster than that of humans. Even without the guidance of Shi Qiang and others, the Tree Civilization will still progress rapidly.
However, the downside is also obvious: all decisions made by the Tree Civilization are polarized, that is, black and white.
They are prone to going to two extremes in one thing. For example, in the question of how to evolve and reproduce, the tree civilization abandoned seed reproduction and instead chose the more efficient grafting reproduction.
That is, Treeman A and Treeman B each retrieve a gene fragment and synthesize Treeman C. If the replication of Treeman C results in a benign mutation, then Treeman A or Treeman B and Treeman C will reproduce again, upgrading the genes generation after generation.
It's only thanks to the fact that these things are tree people, not purebred animals, that this method of reproduction is somewhat shocking and unacceptable to people.
“In the past few years, we have also grown and have gained more knowledge about our own genes and memories. From this, we have also discovered that we have inherited some of the abilities of the previous generation of tree people,” the Triangular Funnel Tree said eloquently.
"Oh? For example?" Liu Chang had already taken out paper and pen, waiting for the other party to continue.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if his brain had connected with something, and the sound of trigonometric functions echoed in his brain.
“Like this, I can directly connect my consciousness with yours.”
"Oh, that's an amazing ability. What else?"
Liu Chang felt a connection between his consciousness and the other person's, a rather strange feeling, as if there were two different personalities in his brain.
The next second, Liu Chang felt that consciousness suddenly take over his body and start waving his arms and legs wildly.
At the same time, the trigonometric tree's voice also opened.
"Like this, I can also control your body. Hmm, so this is what it feels like to be human."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chang, seeing his body at the mercy of the other party, did not appear surprised.
In the past, such a miracle of controlling another person's body with one's consciousness would have greatly shocked Liu Chang, but since the existence of the Super Dream Database, consciousness transfer is no longer a rare technology.
However, the Mewtwo database cannot achieve the same level of coexistence of multiple consciousnesses within a single body. If it were to do so, the two would eventually experience a conflict of consciousness, devouring and merging the memories of the other half of the consciousness.
It seems that only a trigonometric function tree can achieve this: two completely different independent consciousnesses sharing one body.
"You should be able to transfer knowledge to two different individuals. Give it a try."
Liu Chang offered a suggestion.
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately did as instructed. He first manipulated his own consciousness and copied a piece of memory from Liu Chang's brain, then transmitted it to Shi Qiang.
Shi Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but open his mouth wide!
"Principal Liu, so you also had to extend your studies back then!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chang's face turned green.
"Shut up!"
