Chapter 17 If You Grow to the Limit
"This is something I absolutely won't allow!"
Angry shouts echoed in the underground space. The director of the institute was standing in the center of the institute with a group of virtual soldiers, and in front of them was the captain and a novice virtual.
"Even if it is my relatives, I will not let the incompetent enter here!"
The steward's stance was quite firm, and in its wrath, the captain was useless anyway, its relatives were kicked out shortly after, and the captain was temporarily suspended.
It's really interesting... The spy is in a room watching what's going on outside.
It is said that virtual people like the headmaster are very rare. Although it seems easy to get angry, the researchers here are very fond of such headmasters.
Lin, on the other hand, has been reading the information of this institute, and has already understood most of the problems.
If Lynn trapped the jelly starfish from the Lost Star, would it produce a teleporter?
However, the virtual people have recently begun to plan to make the starfish here produce transmitters. They have many stimulation methods, such as electricity, fire, or some strange liquid to stimulate the starfish.
Voidlings have tested the effect of various things on starfish, and they used this kind of stimuli to stimulate it to teleport, and now they want to stimulate it to produce more teleporters.
And Lin also wanted to see how the starfish synthesized a teleporter in her body.
The spy was standing in front of the transparent wall where the starfish was, and there were many imaginary people standing around at the same time, all of them came to observe the experiment.
"According to the previous records, it will create a teleporter after being greatly disturbed." The chief is also standing here. It gave instructions to the experimental virtual people: "Stimulate it with hot air first."
‘Crack! ' under the command of the chief. A door opened inside. A few phantoms walked in and sprayed the starfish with their previous 'heat wave spraying device'.
"Gu..." Starfish made some noises and began to step back, while the few virtual people continued to get closer and closer...
But Lin felt a little strange, it seemed that Sea Star's reaction was not as strong as last time.
It's not because he's weak or tired, but because... he's not afraid of the heat.
"It doesn't seem to be responding well.
"The manager used a small block to talk to the virtual people sprayed in the room: "Take a little more. "
"Received." Several false polls in the room became more powerful, and they were getting closer and closer to the starfish...
'Boom! ’ Suddenly, the tentacles that the starfish had been retreating from stretched forward. A relatively close virtual citizen was instantly knocked out.
"Ah!" All the virtual people present suddenly screamed, and the general manager said quickly: "Leave there quickly! Hurry up!"
"Ah ah ah!" The few virtual people inside screamed and adjusted the power of the sprinkler to the maximum. The tentacles of the starfish were constantly waving in front of them, but because of the strong hot wind, it still did not shoot down.
Lin found that although they were in a panic, they were still cooperative. A few phantoms were responsible for spraying, while two phantoms were responsible for dragging the companion who had just been sent flying. Soon, several phantoms retreated from the entrance. .
"Goo!" Starfish watched them run away, slamming their tentacles against the wall as if to vent their anger. This heavy blow seems to have shaken the entire institute...
"It's starting... out of control."
The virtual people here are full of panic and anxiety, but the general manager seems to be relatively calm.
after this. The steward had a meeting with some of the other captains and managers here.
The content of the meeting was mainly to discuss how to control it in the future, and came up with many plans and various methods. Although "novices" such as spies could not participate, Lin still heard their conversations.
They came up with a wide variety of methods, but only one sentence caused the reaction of all the virtual people present.
"If we can't control it no matter what, then we have to... kill it." This is what the director said: "After killing it, we will gather all the top scholars to conduct anatomical research on it, Let's make our own starter!"
Although the general manager was very excited, he was met with unanimous opposition.
"No! It's too risky! What if we can't study anything?" "We don't even fully understand the composition of its outer shell, so we have to try to dissect it?" "This method is absolutely impossible, if it fails, we There will be no future!" "Yeah, I don't know how long it will take to develop something similar... Chief, it must not be like this!"
"But it's growing now!" exclaimed the steward. "It's clearly a baby! It's going to keep growing until it can destroy the world!"
"Then wait until it grows up." "Yes, it has taken hundreds of years to grow up to now, how long does it take to grow so big?"
... The methods of discussion among these virtual people are completely divided into two types. There are also a few virtual people who support the general manager, but most of them think this method is too risky.
Lin felt that they were obviously 'infesting the bus', but the virtual people had to rely on its ability.
But seeing them discuss growing up, Lin also thought of a question... growing up?
I don't know how long it will take to grow from starfish to void bus, and I don't know when they have the ability to resist gravity and fly into the void, but these are certain things, and... what about the void bus?
Will the Voidbus continue to grow?
At present, the largest individual Lin has seen is a "class" of 30 kilometers in diameter, which is already much larger than common meteorites.
The Void Bus has been wandering in the void to eat everywhere. If you compare it, its food intake has not decreased compared to its infancy, but it seems to be a bit more.
The Void Bus never completely eats up a place, presumably to have a long-term food supply, which all means that maybe it will continue to grow.
And if a void bus keeps growing, what will it look like? Fifty kilometers? One hundred kilometers?
And then... will it grow into a tumbler?
It's not impossible... Judging by the structure of the Voidbus, there are quite a few wonderful things about their species.
But even the Void Bus, when it grows to a certain size, it is very dangerous to approach some places with higher gravity. At this stage, it may need to collect other substances to live, so to speak...
Lin thought of the moon.
Could it be that Moon is actually a Void Bus that grows to its limit?
It seems that there are indeed some possibilities. For these heterostructured creatures, almost anything is possible.
However, even though the moon's trajectory is strange, the route is fixed, and it cannot be seen that it is a creature at present.
But maybe the Void Bus will go from its wandering behavior to a fixed route when it grows to this extent? And it does have many strange places. As far as Lin knows, the moon travels between two stars, but the course of action is completely fixed, and there is no eating behavior...
Although the principle is not very clear, Lin thinks that when the moon is revolving around a tumbler for a certain period of time, the originally interacting gravitational force suddenly begins to add a repulsive effect, which makes the moon become farther and farther away, and eventually flies away from this place……
I don’t know how this repelling effect came about. It may be that there is a change in the moon, and some unknown method produces a special effect, but this is difficult to study. Regarding the repulsive force, it is also Lin’s guess, mainly in the There is nothing special about the month.
And, if it's alive, why is the route fixed?
Or... Moon is already dead?
If you die, how can you continue to move? Or it's just a phenomenon similar to brain death, and its bodily functions continue to operate.
Although Lin still doesn't know whether the Void Bus has a structure of 'brain' in the usual sense, and if it continues to operate, where does the energy come from? After all, it has no feeding behavior.
In other words, it has stored energy that can be used for a long time, but it has not been used up yet. For this kind of creature, tens of thousands of years are very short.
But this is just an assumption, and in fact, I don't know what the moon is, and its surface structure is completely different from the shell of the void bus.
However, an interesting assumption can be made.
After the Void Bus grows to a certain level, the number of symbiotic species on it will increase in number, and then it will begin to form an ecology...
At this time, the Void Bus does not search for food, but relies on gravity to wander in the void.
Absorb the energy of the light and go on living...
If so, that's really interesting, although it's hard to confirm.
As it grows bigger, the interior of the Void Bus must have undergone drastic changes, but no matter how it changes, as long as it can maintain its 'consciousness'.
The moon seems to be unaware now...
Brain dead?
And if the moon is alive, how does it die?
Could it be... those creators?
Indeed, some creators went deep into the surface, and their tentacles extended into the depths of the lunar crust...
If the moon is alive, the only person who can kill it is the creator.
And the creator kills only the 'brain', which is still going on this month.
It's an idea, but it's worth thinking about
If you keep thinking about it...
Maybe the creators are not the 'native species' of the moon, they may have come from somewhere and lived there.
Moon is relatively small compared to other tumblers, and it is strange that there are so many creators on it. They are actually hard to accommodate others of the same kind, but what if they have a common goal?
Where do these creators come from? Somewhere in the void? (To be continued..)
