Live: Proving the infinite multiverse at the beginning

Chapter 170 The manifestation of Gaia’s consciousness

Jiang Zhe didn't explain.

Instead, it directly accelerated the magma planet for a billion years.

During this period, the primitive earth experienced the largest impact in history.

The earth has a magnetic field to resist the invasion of solar wind.

The appearance of the moon stabilized the movement of the earth.

After that, the earth also began to slowly cool down.

The magma ground began to solidify, and the scalding heat that evaporated into the sky condensed into rain under the influence of the original atmosphere.

After several years, the ocean finally formed.

The original volcanoes on the earth's surface slowly turned into submarine volcanoes.

A few more years passed.

The first organic molecules appeared near submarine volcanoes and hot springs.

Over time, organic molecules floated to the surface, absorbing solar energy.

Carbon dioxide and water are gradually synthesized into organic matter.

These synthesized organic matter also became the oldest living organisms on earth: cyanobacteria, or luka.

They were the first organisms to perform photosynthesis.

Absorbs carbon dioxide and then excretes oxygen in the form of waste gas.

The expelled oxygen gradually changed the atmosphere's environment over several years.

Eventually the Earth's atmosphere was filled with oxygen.

Because of the explosion of oxygen, the first living things appeared: bacteria.

As mentioned above, this is the entire process during the 1 billion years since the birth of the earth.

Within a billion years, the earth's ecological environment has truly emerged.

In this way, the earth has a circulatory system.

It can also perform energy conversion and maintain the balance of carbon and oxygen.

The explanation ends here.

Facing the camera, Jiang Zhe explained: "After the carbon and oxygen balance, the Gaia consciousness that everyone expected has officially appeared!"

Listen to Jiang Zhe's story.

The experts from the institute nodded in approval.

At the origin of the earth, there was an explosion of prosperity within one billion years.

From this, creatures slowly began to appear.

This is exactly the direction of their research. Their direction is exactly the same as what Jiang Zhe described, without any mistakes.

It’s just that Gaia’s consciousness is still incomprehensible to everyone.

At this time.

Jiang Zhe in the picture added: "Actually, I have always emphasized that we humans cannot understand that the earth is a living entity."

"Because this life form may be able to think, but we don't know."

"Or maybe not able to think like us humans."

"In fact, it is not difficult to understand. We can simply understand it as a behavior that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages."

Speaking of which.

Jiang Zhe brought out a green plant to explain.

"We all know clearly - plants are a kind of life."

"It will also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Most of them will grow in the direction of sunlight. In certain seasons, they will also produce seeds so that their next generation can grow better."

"So, do you think plants are conscious?"

In fact, this explanation is very easy to understand.

Whether the person in the live broadcast room is a primary school student, a junior high school student, or even a kindergarten audience, they can clearly understand it.

"After being taught such popular science by the host, I feel that plants also have consciousness."

"Plants will make a series of reactions when faced with light, humidity, and external reactions. I feel that they are conscious."

"It seems so! But plants are not like us human beings."

"Is it just simple instinct, or self-awareness?"

"..."

The audience was discussing it.

In the end, it was agreed that plants also have consciousness.

Looking at the barrage floating by, Jiang Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, plants are conscious."

"If you say 'consciousness' is only a privilege that humans have."

"Then I don't approve it!"

"Because plants, although they don't have brains and other organs for thinking, they can sense the external environment by secreting hormones."

"Just like a mimosa, the leaves will slowly close when someone touches them."

"Actually, this is a manifestation of consciousness."

“No matter how you understand them to have ‘self-awareness’ or a ‘protection mechanism’, in the end they are inseparable from the category of ‘consciousness’.”

The expression of consciousness lies in: survival.

Some plants produce more seeds during the monsoon.

So that their offspring have a higher chance of survival.

If plants are not conscious, why do they do this?

Just blowing the air, bored?

The answer is obviously not so.

Whether it is people or plants, they will resolve dangers and slowly transform them into an environment suitable for their own survival.

It's just that the expressions between the two species are different.

After this explanation.

Experts at the institute seem to be thinking about whether plants have consciousness.

They do believe that plants only have ‘self-awareness’.

But Jiang Zhe was so popular.

Their awareness of plants has changed.

Animal consciousness relies on glutamate, and plant consciousness relies on hormones.

Plant consciousness is not a system used in animals.

But plants hear sounds, and they can also tell what environment they're in.

Is it dangerous to better regulate the development of the plant itself.

Looking at Jiang Zhe's explanation, Lao Bai nodded and murmured: "If you put it that way, plants actually have consciousness. Although they don't have neurons, they can also think, but the form of thinking is different from animals."

The next moment!

A flash of lightning seemed to appear in Lao Bai's mind.

Vaguely, something was opened.

I saw him breathing rapidly and looking at the other biologists with disbelief:

"No way?"

"Is it possible that the earth also has this unique consciousness, and uses it to judge whether the earth itself is safe and whether it can regulate its own ecological environment?"

Being exposed to Jiang Zhe's popular science, Lao Bai was beginning to feel scared.

It wasn't until now that he realized——

The earth is really what Jiang Zhe said, it is a life form that is difficult to understand.

Because the earth itself is not like humans, animals, and plants.

The earth is truly conscious! ! !

This time.

Jiang Zhe in the picture informed the audience of the above remarks in another way.

"In fact, the earth is also conscious, but its consciousness is larger and more complex than plants, humans, and animals."

"He perceives everything about himself through the interaction between all living things on the earth and the biosphere."

"In short: the earth does not need a brain, the earth does not need neurons, and it does not need a sensory system."

"Because... He knows every move of us humans, every move of animals, and every move of plants!"

As soon as Jiang Zhe came to his conclusion.

The audience, as well as experts from the entire institute, were stunned.

.......

at the same time.

On a medium-sized ship heading towards Antarctica.

In the ship lobby.

Watching Jiang Zhe's explanation on TV.

Ouyang Baili, Robin, Lao Song and others looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

A whole new realm seemed to be beckoning towards them.

Every time Jiang Zhe popularizes science, he will bring new concepts.

Does Earth have consciousness this time?

It seems there really is!

In other words, it has a self-regulating system.

This kind of self-regulation and improvement of one's own environment can also be attributed to the extraordinary performance of the earth being conscious.
