Chapter 1025 Spore Research (Ⅱ)

Qiao An still doesn't know the specific ingredients of the "psychedelic spores". The reason why he made such a guess is mainly based on his personal experience of participating in a meditation meeting.

As long as a person is alive, new images are frequently generated in his mind.

In a state of sobriety and concentration, people can control their brains to generate specific intentions in a short period of time. For example, if they miss someone strongly, their voices and smiles will naturally appear in their minds.

But in most cases, it is difficult for people to maintain a high degree of mental concentration for a long time, and they cannot control what their brains are thinking about. Especially when appreciating works of art, the images generated by stress in their minds often deviate from the theme and There is no clear logic to speak of.

Even when falling asleep, the human brain will also produce images, and dreams come from this.

When people communicate when they are awake, whether they use language or words, or use magic such as "spiritual spores" or "spiritual connection" to communicate directly at the ideological level, the information that can be accurately conveyed to the other party must be presupposed that the other party can understand.

On this premise, it is necessary to establish a common grammatical logic, use a common language, and even require the use of languages ​​that can be spoken and written by each other.

Then there is no doubt that all these communication methods must be rational. What a person wants to convey to others must be understood by himself. If he does not understand what he wants to express, it is even more impossible for others to understand what he thinks.

At best, human beings can only understand each other's rational side, and rationality is only the tip of the iceberg of "will".

This also means that the sorrows and joys of human beings are not interlinked, no one can truly understand another person, and everyone's inner world is an isolated island.

If the mushroom people only have "spiritual spores", they will not be much better than humans in mutual understanding, but they will be more precise and efficient in conveying rational thoughts.

But mushroom man also has more magical "psychedelic spores". Combining "psychedelic spores" and "spiritual spores", you can transform your own inexplicable irrational feelings into vivid images and convey them to others , so that the other party can understand his mood.

This use of "psychedelic spores" is crucial to the social life of myconids.

After all, Joan is not a mushroom man, and he has no interest in social life, but he found that the fusion of "psychedelic spores" and "mind spores" can double the efficiency of his spiritual meditation, and can also reduce the time required to prepare spells. , shortened from one hour under normal circumstances to half an hour!

Now that he had enough "spiritual spores" and "psychedelic spores", Joan naturally thought of using these two materials to process an alchemy potion to improve the efficiency of meditation practice.

But before that, he still needs to carefully test the safety of this fine-bred spore.

The spores that are not poisonous to mushroom man may not be harmless to human health.

Especially "psychedelic spores", you have to be more careful.

If it's just poisonous, Joan can also use alchemical methods to remove the poison as much as possible without destroying its meditation effect.

But if it is "addictive", even if it can improve the efficiency of practice, Joan can only give up using it. This bottom line cannot be compromised.

The fourth type of spores presented to Joan by the fungus king is rarer than the first three types, and only adult mushroom people can produce them.

The golden fluorescent spores are highly irritating and will interfere with the nervous system of living beings no matter if they are inhaled directly or come into contact with the skin.

Most life activities, especially the normal activities of the nerve conduction system, are always accompanied by frequent changes in the biological potential and polarity in the body.

The creature inhales the golden spores scattered by the adult mushroom man. If the biological electromagnetic interference contained in the spores cannot be resisted, the brain nervous system will stop discharging and temporarily fall into a state of "stop work", and the whole person will lose the ability to think, as if being shocked , become dumb as a puppet.

As for when to get rid of the negative effects caused by the "deterrence spores" and restore normal thinking ability, firstly it depends on whether the body is strong enough, and secondly, a strong willpower will also help to get rid of mental interference as soon as possible.

If we only look at the symptoms caused by the "deterrent spores", we can regard them as a kind of "toxin", but it is different from the toxin in the sense of alchemy, more like the physical effect caused by electromagnetic interference.

Joan was also not sure whether the "deterrent spore" was a kind of "toxin" or a special "miniature bomb". Fortunately, this kind of spore could also be used as the material for the "Poison Strike" spell.

The last bottle of green fluorescent spores is the "parasitic spores" that only the fungus king can produce.

This kind of spore is just like its name, each spore particle is an independent life form, and it can't be said to have any intelligence alone, but when a large number of "parasitic spores" gather together, they will magically obtain the will of the group, and the intelligence attribute is as high as 2 point!

If supernatural animals such as "magic beasts" are not counted, 2 points of intelligence attribute is the upper limit of IQ of all domestic animals and wild animals, such as killer whales, dolphins, elephants and some domestic dogs (border collies are of course no problem, two Ha, I'm afraid not), and the intelligence attribute is only 2 points.

Unconscious tiny spores, when they gather together, their IQ goes up?

This kind of operation, Joan feels a bit familiar...

Isn't this what Mrs. Josephine called "the will of the brood"!

Qiao An has a strong interest in the subject of "Brood Will", and has read no less than a hundred related documents, and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in this field.

Generally speaking, only insect swarms and herds of beasts can form the "brood will", but Joan has never heard that spores can also form the "brood will".

In the final analysis, spores are only reproductive cells that exist away from the mother body. How can these existences at the low end of the evolutionary chain form the "brood will"?

In Joan's previous cognition, such a high-end and atmospheric function as "brood will" must at least be possessed by insect-level creatures. However, the appearance of "parasitic spores" refreshed his experience. The old concept forced him to admit that he underestimated this seemingly low life form.

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

Realizing that the cluster of "parasitic spores" is actually an intelligent "mother's nest", the confusion that had lingered in Qiao An's mind for a long time was easily resolved.

Why can "parasitic spores" turn hosts, such as monitor lizard corpses, into undead creatures similar to zombies, as if they were affected by necromancy?

The mystery lies in the unique "brood will" of the "parasitic spore" cluster.
