Steel Chang'an

Chapter 98

If a person's self-awareness expands to the level of the sky and the earth, what will happen to the human brain?
Mu Yun has never thought about this question.

He was not a learned person, and the words he knew in his life were very limited.When he was in Baima City, Mu Chuan wanted him to read more books, and even came up with the idea of ​​asking him to clean the study.But until the precious set of "Knight's Travel Records" that Mu Chuan deliberately left in the study was covered with a thick layer of dust, he still didn't turn over a page.

Most of the knowledge he has mastered is what others say.What he knew of the history of the continent and the legends of the knights was what he had heard from those nights at the White Horse Barracks, sitting by the campfire and listening to the drunken veterans; what he knew of the knightly blood But after coming to Donglin, when the young master of the Li family, Zheng Quan and Ji Guanjia were quoting scriptures and talking about the past and the present, he pricked up his ears to listen.

But Mu Yun has never heard of any knights in the legendary era who were born with abnormalities.

We must know that the structure of the human brain is not static. When the human brain processes information, the information will also change the number, shape and distribution of cells in the human brain.

The expansion of self-awareness is essentially the expansion of cellular activity within the brain.The larger the scope of self-awareness, the more information needs to be processed, which means that the more activity units need to be involved in processing information.

Just bringing within the ego's reach an implement as simple as a stick can lead to an increase in gray matter in a specific area of ​​the brain, producing a flood of new cells.

If the scope of the self is expanded to be as vast as the sky and the earth, it means that the information that the human brain needs to process in an instant is also as endless as the sky and the earth, which will inevitably lead to the explosive growth of brain cells.

According to this principle, if the knights of the legendary age hadn't exploded to death due to the rapid expansion of brain tissue and the unbearable pressure on their brains, then they would definitely grow an extremely huge head.

Moreover, in order to maintain the balance of the body and prevent the spine from being crushed, their limbs and torso should also undergo corresponding changes to support the big head.

This also means that those knights who can control giant armor should be as huge as the legendary sea natives.

But whether it is the Knight of Light with portraits handed down from generation to generation, or other Pangu knights with only a few words recorded, their appearance is no different from that of humans on the mainland today.

Even among the knights on this continent, Mu Yun seems to have never heard of anyone with a particularly unusual head.

Li Jing, the number one knight in the world, doesn't seem to have a bigger head than the others.

Mu Yun frowned.

The size of the human head determines that the capacity of the human brain is limited, and it is impossible to expand indefinitely.

Even if the knights on this continent now control their battle armor through the expansion of self-awareness, it is impossible for those knights in the legendary era to control the battle armor that is as high as the sky and the earth by this method.

This means that even if the real role of tinder includes expanding self-awareness, it is by no means limited to this!
but--

"If you don't expand your self-awareness, how can you use the world and the world for your own use?"

Unknowingly, Mu Yun voiced her confusion aloud.

But Shisan smiled sweetly, and asked back: "If you want the world to be your own use, why do you have to make the world a part of yourself instead of yourself?"

Mu Yun was taken aback!
Compared with forcibly changing the original structure of the human body and expanding self-awareness to accommodate the world, admitting that one's own power is limited, giving up self-awareness, forgetting the opposition between oneself and external objects, and integrating oneself into the world seems to sound is a more feasible method.

This is very similar to what an ancient philosopher on the home planet of human beings said, "Heaven and man are one, things and I are both forgotten."

However, Mu Yun immediately realized a problem: "How can I mobilize the world for my own use when I am reduced to the subordinate of the world?"

"It's very simple. Take the electronic brain of the first-generation intelligent race as an example," Thirteen said. , the Chizu did not store the data in their own electronic brains, but connected the electronic brains with the main brain of the starship, stored the data in the main brain, and only called the data to the main brain when they needed it. The main brain Connected to the electronic brains of all the intelligent races, when an intelligent race calls data to the main brain, what he can call is not only the data he previously stored in the main brain, but the data input by all intelligent races to the main brain."

At this moment, Thirteen's face has put away the charming look, and the delicate body that was originally leaning on the couch has been replaced by a dignified sitting posture, and the seductive tone is like a girl who is teaching a student. Teacher, but it has a different style.

"The mastermind network on the starship is like heaven and earth. The mastermind network is not owned by any intelligent race. On the contrary, the electronic brain of each intellectual race is a slave of the mastermind network and is a part of the mastermind network. But each intellectual race It can also use all the resources of the main brain network to obtain data and computing power that far exceeds the capacity of a single intelligent electronic brain. Do you understand this analogy?"

Mu Yun nodded, then shook his head: "But the human brain is not an electronic brain. In the real universe, there is no such a master brain network as you mentioned, which connects everything together."

"But in fact, everything in the universe is originally connected together." Thirteen said, "Everything in the universe, whether it is a grain of sand, a flower, a mountain, a cloud, or a person, is ultimately formed by Particles, and every particle in the universe is eventually entangled with other particles. The universe is one, and people are also a part of the universe, from the beginning of a person's birth, or long before a person is born , he is already in the universe.”

Why does this sound so familiar?Mu Yun always felt as if he had heard this kind of statement somewhere. "Then why can't people feel the connection between themselves and all things in the world?" He asked, "According to what you said just now, if a person is integrated with all things in the world since birth, wouldn't even a baby be able to call the wind and rain? Everyone has the ability to mobilize everything in the world?"

"Of course things are not that simple. In fact, this is a rather complicated issue. I just chose the simplest way you can understand to explain it." Thirteen said, "Let's put it this way, you can imagine that there is a The vast ghost network connects everything in the world, but the signal of this network is always subject to various interferences, most of the time it is in a shielded state, it is not easy to receive, and the human body itself It is a source of interference. Even if the human body is still, the cell activities in the human body will still release various interference signals, so although the person himself is connected to this network, but if the person wants to receive the signal, call this The resources of the network are even more difficult, and the possibility is infinitely close to zero. It is also because of this that talents do not perceive the existence of this network at all."

If there is a network but no signal, what is the difference between that and no network?Hearing this, Mu Yun couldn't help but vomit in his heart, but suddenly realized: "Could it be that the function of the fire is a signal receiver?"

This time, Shisan's face finally showed real approval, "You are indeed a smart person.

"To be precise, the effect of tinder on the human body is closer to that of enzymes. It adjusts the internal environment of the human body at a level smaller than molecules, prompting the brain to release a powerful neurotransmitter, which makes the brain's nerves The sum of the electrophysiological activities of the elements forms a specific electromagnetic field.

"In a sense, it's like tuning the human body to a specific frequency band, opening a channel among all kinds of interference barriers, so that people can receive signals from the vast ghost network and enter the world. In the endless network connecting all things in the world, so as to mobilize the energy of all things in the world.

"In this way, you should already understand why those knights in the legendary era didn't need to expand their self-awareness to accommodate the heaven and earth, but they could still control the armor that was as high as the heaven and the earth.

"You should also understand that those who are lucky enough to receive the gift of fire—even those who have only received a little inheritance of fire, are different from ordinary people.

"One of their feet has stepped into the kingdom of God, mastered the rules of God, and gained the power of God.

"And you—should have tasted the taste of this power."

Thirteen looked at Mu Yun and said with a smile.

Mu Yun blinked his eyes, he finally remembered where he had heard similar sayings.

That was what Steward Ji said to himself in the hangar of Tengwang Pavilion when he was sorting out the data of the Bright Sword——

"Among the teachings of the Nagato Sect, the Seven Knights of Pangu are the saints of the Nagato Sect, precisely because they have mastered the door of the soul that is connected to the will of the universe, allowing their will to enter the will of the universe, and will I am connected with the armor to become one, drive the armor with the will of the knight, and control the armor with the spirit of the knight."

Thirteen borrowed the metaphor of the ghost network, and Ji Butler borrowed the teachings of the Nagato Sect, but what they said was actually the same thing.

At that time, Ji Steward also used this very special term——

God rules.

The rules above the human world are the rules of God.

But the part of God's rules that humans once mastered has been lost in that world-destroying storm.

Why can fire give people the power of gods?

Is this mysterious particle the result of the natural breeding of this barbaric planet, or is it a man-made creation?

Mu Yun suddenly realized that even though Thirteen had explained the function of Tinder in great detail——

But she didn't say a word about what kindling is.

Mu Yun raised his head and looked at Shisan who was sitting on the couch.

Under the soft light of the imperial palace lanterns, this first-generation Chizu, who was older than the mainland itself, looked as delicate and gorgeous as a young girl.

"So, where did the fire come from?"

Mu Yun asked.

Thirteen smiled.

"I have said enough," she said, "that all you have to know is that fire is a gift from the gods to man."

Seeing that Mu Yun wanted to ask again, she stood up and pressed a finger against his lips, "Shh...you don't think I'm giving you lessons for free by telling you so much, do you?"

It's not free, is there a fee?Seeing Thirteen's finger slowly moving down her lips, raising her chin, and looking at her face with interest, Mu Yun's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head away, thinking that she was penniless, could it be This tuition fee should be paid by oneself?This is a bit of a struggle...

I only heard Thirteen's hoarse and pleasant voice saying in my ear: "Since you already know the true function of the fire seed and the true value of the fire seed, then you should also know what kind of fire seed you should use to get the fire seed." In exchange for the price?"

Could it be that I really want me to trade myself for fire... Feeling Thirteen's fingers slowly slide down his chest, Mu Yun's face remained unchanged, sweating profusely, wondering if such a thing violated the spirit of chivalry However, Mu Chuan never said that, but to be a hero, one must sacrifice oneself unavoidably!After Mu Yun figured this out, he immediately closed his eyes awe-inspiringly, raised his chest, and was about to speak——

But Shisan smiled sweetly, took a step back, looked into his eyes and said, "It seems that you have already realized something."

"If you want kindling, just trade the life of your great master!"
