Chapter 64 The Swarm Mastermind Plan Failed
"Failed."

Lu Entropy looked at the shuttle-shaped spaceship very speechlessly. The inside of this spaceship was full of psychic slimes, and the levels of these psychic slimes varied, but the highest was only ten. Level [-], and no psionic level above that.

Just one day ago, Lu Entropy announced that planetary creatures would be accelerated to 1:1 million with psionic time. Only one day has passed outside, and about 27 years have passed inside the closed-loop space-time.

These psychic slimes, initially as Lu Entropy expected, continued to reproduce and expand, and then began to compete with each other as the scale increased and material resources were limited.

At the beginning, the slimes only used their psychic power to move away their own kind, and seized territory for themselves. Later, as the pressure of competition increased, they began to learn to use their psychic power to kill their own kind.

Later, some slimes discovered that they did not need to absorb geothermal heat to produce organic matter to sustain life. They could sustain life by devouring their own kind and obtaining organic matter from their corpses.

As a result, consumers were born among the producers, and these consumers focused on improving their spiritual energy, and then through periodic hunting and killing of the same kind as producers, they obtained far more organic matter at one time than absorbing geothermal heat...

Gradually, over the long years, producers and consumers have become two species, and consumers have gradually developed a sense of territory. Any consumer wants to have a bigger territory, because only a bigger territory In order to have enough food to support more consumers of the same species.

However, there is a competitive relationship between consumer groups, and one consumer group will eliminate another consumer group. In this competition for survival, producers are gradually marginalized.

Because the number of producers is always controlled by consumers, and consumers are not controlled by a higher-level existence, competition among consumers is inevitable, and mutual genocide is also inevitable.

In this protracted struggle for survival, the strength of psychic power has become the key factor. A consumer with strong psychic power is often more likely to be favored by the opposite sex, and thus easier to obtain the opportunity to reproduce. After generations of progress, The psychic level of the consumer population on the planet has increased step by step.

Those who can't keep up with the pace of improvement will be wiped out.

It may be because the biological template used by the rabbi is related to a certain kind of alien in the Vorsotis galaxy, or it may be because of a coincidence that a certain group of consumers gave birth to wisdom.

If you are wise, you will know how to cooperate vertically and horizontally, luring other groups to continuously attack the group with stronger spiritual power, and finally take advantage of the fisherman's profit to expand the territory.

After the territory expands, increase the number of your own population, and then use the psionic power based on the number to defeat your own population with higher-level psionic powers.

In the end, a population of psychic slimes hovering between 4 and 5 levels of psychic power defeated the population of 7 and 8 psychic power levels on the planet, completing a worldwide unification.

However, this small episode is not a big problem. After the great unification, there will be a problem of distribution, and the population will start to split, so it will return to the original competitive relationship between populations.

The emergence of wisdom only makes competition more diverse and complex. This complexity leads to the emergence of countries. The accumulation of knowledge shapes different cultural circles, and cultural circles create different civilizations.

The planet thus entered the age of multi-civilization.

Later on, these psychic slimes develop similarly to human beings, with wars, cooperation, and competition between countries, love and hatred between individuals, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and all kinds of living beings, as well as their understanding of the material world. exploration.

At this time, the psychic slime's mate selection criteria began to become unstable. In the past, whoever had stronger psychic power was more 'beautiful'.

Now it can be more "beautiful" with more flexible use of psychic power, more "beautiful" with weaker psychic power, and even more "beautiful" with brighter skin color.

It took almost 10 years before the release began, and these psychic slimes completed the unification of cultural thoughts and built a huge planetary civilization.

At this time, the theory of heat death began to spread in this psychic slime civilization. Their hypothesis was not complicated, and it directly and strictly stated that the source of all energy came from the nuclear fusion of the planet's core.

When all the matter in this world falls into the nuclear fusion in the core of the earth, the whole world will fall into absolute silence and darkness.

The only chance for civilization to continue is through the tunnel outside the planet, at the edge of the world.

However, that tunnel has a strong gravitational pressure, and as soon as ordinary matter enters that area, it is directly torn into ion clouds.

After many tests, it was confirmed that gravitational pressure can directly penetrate matter and affect individuals inside the spaceship. Even if the spaceship is strong enough, the life forms inside must have strong enough spiritual energy to pass through that area.

The entire psychic slime civilization changed at this time, and the aesthetic concept gradually returned to the point that whoever is more psychic is more "beautiful".

Of course, there are also those who advocate the transformation of the body, advocating the transformation of the body to increase the strength, and then pass through the tunnel.

Later, the contradiction between the flesh faction and the psionic faction increased sharply, so a world war was fought, and the psionic faction was established as the leader, and the flesh faction was the auxiliary.

After developing for a period of time, this psychic slime civilization gathered a group of slimes with the strongest psychic energy, the strongest physical body, and both physical and psychic abilities. Riding on the newly developed shuttle-shaped The spacecraft, as the advance team, launched an exploration into the depths of the tunnel.

Powerful gravitational pressure is no longer a problem, as long as they cooperate with each other to use psionic energy, relying on quantity can make up for the lack of quality.

then……

Then Lu Entropy waited for a day, and the result was that a group of psychic slimes with the highest psychic power level of only twelve came out.

"I admit that I miscalculated, you can laugh if you want, I can bear it." Lu Entropy said to the rabbi very unhappy.

No way, I boasted before, but it didn't produce the expected result. This is really a bit embarrassing. As a human being, Lu Entropy is somewhat embarrassing.

"Actually, this is a bit useful. It is also a level [-] psionic power. The brains of these creatures are obviously smaller than those used by bee colonies. A planetary creature can carry more psionic brains."

The rabbi didn't quite agree with Lu Entropy's words. It felt that this initial test was quite successful, at least the bee colony didn't get nothing.

"What's the use of more?"

"What the bee colony wants now is a higher-level psychic brain." Lu Entropy said unhappily.

Now he wants to directly kill the slime civilization in the closed-loop time and space, how good it is to maintain fierce competition, and insist on developing civilization, and engage in psionic cooperation.

The rabbi ignored Lu Entropy's complaints, and expressed his thoughts: "I don't think the direction of this road is too big a problem. I have mutated the twelve-level psionic brain gene for more than a thousand years, and what I get is always a Pile brains with less than twelve levels of psionic abilities, and at the best of luck, they only reach eleventh level."

"You just tried it once, and you got a twelfth-level psionic brain that is smaller than the brain used by the bee colony now. The result is much better than my previous one."

Compared with the previous effort of more than 1000 years without any progress, the rabbi thinks that this method of at least seeing a little progress is still acceptable.

The rabbi continued: "This time there is no psionic power above level [-], just because we didn't consider the cooperation between psionic creatures, and didn't consider that they would give birth to wisdom and civilization."

"Maybe we can try to improve the screening mechanism. If the tunnel only allows the passage of psychics above level [-] and does not allow cooperation, then maybe we can really breed psychic brains above level [-]."

Lu Entropy fell into thought, and murmured: "In this case...you need someone who can experience a long time."

"Set up a monitoring creature to monitor the tunnel in the test area. If the test subjects in the closed-loop space-time choose to cooperate, the gravitational pressure will be increased step by step according to the number of their cooperation, forcing them to stop cooperating. Only ten can pass through the tunnel in the end." Psionic abilities above level two..."

When Lu Entropy was immersed in thinking, the rabbi looked at the psychic slimes struggling in the shuttle-shaped spaceship, and couldn't help asking Lu Entropy: "How to deal with these individuals?"

"They?" Lu Entropy was taken aback, and he glanced at the shuttle-shaped spaceship through the sensory organs of the Bechymos giant beast, and then replied: "For those with twelfth-level psionic abilities, just collect genes, nothing else Keep them all, otherwise how will the Vosotis Galaxy survive in the future?"
