Beneath Deep Space

"Does the sense of danger still exist? Is this Gaia creature pretending to be mentally retarded? Is it paralyzing us and trying to give us a fatal blow?"

On this day, Yu Yifeng was discussing danger issues with others on the "Titan" in front.

"Theoretically, this possibility is not great. From various performances, its self-awareness is indeed at a very primary stage, and it is constantly absorbing our social knowledge... Is it pretending so well? The possibility is very low..."

"And it has opened up the ocean and let our submarines explore at will. If it really does something in the deep sea, it will be detected by our submarines..."

Hearing this, another military expert immediately shook his head: "Not necessarily. The ocean is so big that there will always be some forgotten corners. It is difficult for us to monitor it in all directions..."

Everyone discussed for a long time, but couldn't say why.

And Yu Yifeng was also thinking hard. As time passed, there was no call for any crisis... This was simply incredible!

Is his sense of danger wrong? !

After hearing the opinions of the crowd, he waved his hand and said, "I always feel that the source of danger is not Gaia, but something else... Of course, the risks it brings cannot be ruled out, and we must remain extra vigilant." Now, people's large-scale education plan has been implemented very smoothly, from video information bombardment to the "beach projection" part. With the massive indoctrination of human social consciousness, this algae collective has gradually become familiar with humans, and even started to interact closely, which is something the Dig people have never had before. In order to speed up the education process, people simply projected the "Gold Coast" in Noah onto the beaches of Dig 114 planet, allowing it to "contact" human society. Many adults and children are playing happily on the beach. Of course, these are all 3D holographic images made by machines, but they are enough to train and influence "Gaia"... Next to the beach, a human-like robot is specially equipped, playing with "Gaia". The flashlight in its hand occasionally emits a beam of light, and every time it is shot into the sea, the group of algae will change a color in response. It seemed to be having a lot of fun with such a simple action.

"This creature has been watching on the beach, and sometimes wants to play with the image of a child. Is it necessary to pretend so much? I think... it is unlikely to be disguised."

This time it was Dr. Rambo who spoke. As a member of the government think tank, he looked at the various materials in his hand and said with his head down, "And I just received a new video, which is very interesting. You can refer to it."

There is no gravity inside the "Titan" spacecraft. At the beginning, the designers mentioned that a large ring structure could be used to rotate to generate centrifugal force to replace gravity.

But such a design increased the difficulty of manufacturing and reduced the combat effectiveness of the spacecraft, which was rejected by the military.

Things that are too delicate are always more likely to make mistakes of one kind or another. "Titan" is a spacecraft specifically for combat, not for comfort, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.

So now, people generally use the electromagnetic force of power armor to replace gravity. Of course, because there is suitable air for breathing inside the spacecraft, helmets don't need to be worn, and everyone looks like they are wearing metal armor.

Dr. Rambo clicked on the document, and a video played on the screen in the middle of the table: "It's a video of a group of plankton preying on marine algae."

But when the first picture was played, Yu Yifeng rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Yes, he was not mistaken. The algae in the ocean were being preyed on by other creatures!

It was a group of plankton of various shapes, some large and some small, wrapped in various strange capsids or chitin, and they were preying on marine algae. Whether it was floating algae or clumps of them, they were eating happily...

But Gaia creatures completely ignored them and showed no signs of resistance!

In a few minutes, half of these algae were destroyed. Then these creatures were full and scattered.

"Eaten? Intelligent algae were eaten?" Security Minister Xu Yunjin was stunned. This video was beyond his imagination and made him not know what to say.

An intelligent creature actually allows other creatures to eat itself, what kind of thing is this...

"Is this... a biological weapon specifically designed to restrain it? Has it been developed?!" Xu Yunjin thought of an idea and said immediately with surprise. If this kind of thing is really developed, then... the danger of Gaia creatures will be much less!

Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned and looked at Dr. Rambo, many people still had doubts in their eyes.

"No, no, no, everyone has misunderstood, this is just an ordinary plankton, there are already millions of ordinary creatures!"

Dr. Rambo shook his head quickly, asking everyone to dispel this idea: "How can biological weapons be developed so quickly!"

"Everyone should know that no matter what these algae are, whether they have intelligence or not, they are producers in the food chain... and these plankton that feed on algae are just an important link in the ecological chain..."

When everyone heard that these were just ordinary creatures, they showed puzzled ecology on their faces.

Dr. Rimbaud continued: "The reason why this phenomenon occurs: I think there are two reasons, either this Gaia creature cannot detect that it is being eaten, just like the mites on our faces, in fact they are secretly eating us Skin, but we can't feel it..."

"Is this unlikely? Its micro-control capabilities can be at the nanometer level...how could it not know that it was being eaten?" Yu Yifeng frowned and retorted.

"Yes, that's right...so the high probability is the second possibility...its temperament is better than we thought! Or...as a natural producer, it thinks being eaten is no big deal. That should be it." Dr. Rimbaud spread his hands, as if to show that no matter how people question it, this is the fact.

Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh and said thoughtfully: "I have to say that this is completely different from our thinking. If something had eaten us, we would have killed it long ago!"

"But according to some views in cosmic sociology, the natural thinking of these producers is different from ours. Their ideologies are also soft and should not be too aggressive..."

"So I think... its huge aggression at the beginning was completely misled by the Dige people! Who knows what the Dige people have learned from the intrigues all day long... maybe it thought that dropping the nuclear bomb was just to say hello. Woolen cloth?"

These words made everyone think deeply. Many people were full of doubts. How could they allow themselves to be eaten?

It's too exaggerated. Isn't this creature's heart too big?

It would be okay to say that there is no self-awareness, but now... many people find it a bit difficult to understand.

Although new algae are reproduced every moment, some are also eaten every moment... Is this a means of metabolism?

But it seems to be the case... If algae did not allow themselves to be eaten, and there were no producers in the seawater, the entire ecological chain of the ocean would have collapsed long ago.
