Chapter 922 Attack
Whales are mammals and need to breathe.Their bodies are so highly adapted to the sea that they can count to 10 minutes before breathing.But, unlike all land mammals, they must actively decide when to breathe.

Land mammals can breathe involuntarily, but whales cannot.They have to decide when they will come up for air.

Sleep also appears to be an issue for the whales.

Different species of whales use many different ways to solve this problem.Each type of whale has one or several special skills in sleep.

For example, the rhythms of deep-sea whales are almost completely out of sync with day and night.They are active at any time of the day and night.

Some whales have mastered another skill, too.They can sleep in small amounts and multiple times, each time for more than ten minutes of deep sleep, many times a day.

Of course, the most amazing and common one is to "rest half of the brain".

Many species of cetaceans, including nearly all dolphins, can individually hibernate one hemisphere of their brain while keeping the other active.

Of course, this naturally caused strong discomfort to the central chip of the prosthetic body.Many of the early runtime bugs were related to this.

There is a clear distinction between the left and right brains of humans, and the two can only wake up or sleep synchronously.

In humans with defects in the corpus callosum that connects the left and right brains, there may even be a miraculous phenomenon.

After these people saw something on the left side of their field of vision, they couldn't describe the object correctly at all, and even felt that they didn't see that thing, but their hands could accurately point out the location of that thing, as if their hands and the brain belong to two separate wills.

And when they were asked to copy simple three-dimensional figures with their left and right hands, these right-handed subjects could only complete the copy with their left hand, and their right hand could only draw two-dimensional lines with no sense of space.

But later studies have shown that these differences appear as humans grow.Scientists once found special volunteers who were born without the corpus callosum, proving that the right brain can also have language functions, and the left brain can also have spatial imagination.

But for dolphins, the distinction is much smaller.

The structure of the corpus callosum of dolphins and the connection pattern of the two hemispheres of the brain are significantly different from those of humans.

Ola Freeman also thought about making a research and development plan for dolphin chips based on this difference.However, he is a pure biologist and has never been able to practice those ideas.

He even thought about installing a neuroprosthesis in the corpus callosum to rebuild a user-device interaction mode to avoid the influence of dolphins' half-brain dormancy nature.

However, according to Xiang Shan, who personally participated in the research and development of the central chip for human beings, many of Ola Freeman's ideas are good ideas, and they can be used as directions for exploration.

Of course, for Ola, these are all projects that require a lot of resources to invest in research and development, and may not be able to produce results for a while.

As for Xiang Shan, he was naturally thinking about the possibility of applying the transformation ideas in the corpus callosum to martial arts.

Among the many data left by the Eighth Valkyrie, some of them also involve this area of ​​the brain.It's just that the focus of the Eighth Valkyrie is not here.He wants to study the artificial neural network model that can inherit internal strength.But there are still some records.

——Maybe you need to go to the database of the Knights of Science Research to find relevant information...

——or, Six Dragons Sect...

Xiang Shan thought so.

In the process of research, Xiangshan also touched another concept mentioned in Aura's research records-whale dream.

Whales talk in their dreams when half of their brains are dormant.

I don't know whether this is a phenomenon only in the standardized whales after the intelligence has been improved, or it is a trait possessed by the ancestors of the whales.

The rhythm of the whale has nothing to do with the sun and the moon. The sleep of the whale is a small number of times. Only half of the brain of the whale will go to sleep at a time...

In other words, as long as the group size is large enough, at the same time, a small part of a group of whales is always sleeping.

The sleep talking of these sleeping whales, the language of whales, will spread far along the sea, until it is received by another half-brained whale.

According to Ola Freeman, when one half of a whale's brain is put to sleep, its language changes subtly.

The language of these whales is a Creole language mixed with the languages ​​of many different whales.And when the half-brain of the whale enters the dream, the part of this language that does not conform to the nature of its own race will be greatly reduced-but it will not disappear. The whale has accepted the use of this mixed language to think.

And this kind of sleep talking will inexplicably affect other whales of the same species with the same half-brain in the dream state, and even the half-brained whales will communicate in this changed new language.

These half-dream whales seem to be not only in the same reality, but also in the same dream.

But as the 200-year period progressed, the acquired role of language seemed to intensify from generation to generation.Different species of whales also seem to communicate with each other in sleep talk.

There are even some differences in the changes in language when the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere are dormant.

A similar phenomenon has been observed in killer whales and dolphins.

Ora has also thought about using virtual reality to study the dreams of killer whales.But because this dormancy mode is completely different from the way the human brain operates, when the killer whale starts dreaming, the prosthetic central chip is prone to report errors.It is basically impossible to maintain a stable connection.

It is said that those adult killer whales who gave up their bodies to escape starvation were not used to it at first, but eventually accepted the reality of "sleeping in a large number of error warnings".

And as Xiang Shan learned the language of whales, and he used the artificial neural network in his mind to simulate the thinking of whales, he began to experience a new mode of mental operation.

Gradually, he began to integrate into the "dream" of the whale.

He heard the faint infrasound that came with the ocean current, hidden in the roar of the earth and the surge of sea water...

he heard...

"The scream of a dolphin?" Xiang Shan suddenly opened his eyes.He deciphered the message drifting down the ocean current.

Under his feet, the big whale Hopdeman picked up speed and let out a deep roar.Kleidech and Hikassy screamed shortly, as if they had fallen into a state of ecstasy, and were accelerating in a certain direction.

"What's going on?" Xiang Shan was very surprised: "You were attacked? Who? Why?"
