Chapter 1247 Research in the Ruins

"They...are looking for neural connections."

The scholar is still in a building crowded with creatures called 'Dust Crocodiles'.

The scholar observed these dust crocodiles here for a while and had some exchanges with them. As the scholar believed, these dust crocodiles were studying the anatomy of void cockroaches.

They study almost all parts of the void cockroach, the functions of all internal organs, and cell nuclear information, trying to completely understand this insect swarm creature.

Among these studies, one of the most important tasks is to find ‘neural connections’.

Neural connection can be said to be the most important organ of the insect swarm. It is this organ that connects the 'thinking' of the insect swarm to form a complete consciousness. The insect swarm can be said to have countless individuals, but only one 'brain' biology.

These dust crocodiles think so. As long as they find the nerve connection, they can further develop a method to interrupt the overall connection of the insect swarm, thereby causing the entire insect swarm to collapse.

However, scholars who are more familiar with the insect swarm believe that this is very difficult to do. The ideas of the insect swarm are quite...tightly connected, and they do not have only one or two ways of connection.

Even if there is no connection at all, each unit has the ability to coordinate with similar movements around it to carry out group actions.

These dust crocodiles obviously don't know this, but they haven't even found the organs with nerve connections yet.

They confirmed the functions of most of the organs in the void cockroach's body, leaving only some unconfirmed structures, and they also deduced that these unconfirmed structures did not have the function of neural connections.

Then... the clues were completely interrupted, and the Dust Crocodiles here looked quite troubled.

"What on earth are we supposed to do? It would be nice to have a few live ones for testing...but now we can only get corpses."

The one who keeps complaining in front of the scholars is the leader of the dust crocodiles here. To be precise, he should be called the 'research chief'. He has been staring at the three-dimensional screen in front of him, which displays the data researched by the surrounding dust crocodiles.

However, none of this information seemed to be of any use, so it seemed very distressed.

"You came down from underneath, right?" Suddenly, Research Director Dust Crocodile turned to look at the scholar and said, "What are you doing here? Are you looking at our progress?"

The scholar wondered: "Where...is it underneath?"

"Didn't you come down from below? Or are you a wanderer living outside?" Research Director Dust Crocodile said: "Look carefully.

It seems that you are a metal... thing, is it an intelligent machine? Can you help us with our research? "

"Wanderer..." After hearing the words of the researcher, the scholar had more questions in his mind. He thought that his mechanical body had some special camouflage function, allowing the dust crocodiles to regard him as theirs. Same kind, so I don't care about it.

But now it seems that this is not the case. Dust Crocodile knows that scholars are outsiders, but this kind of outsider seems normal to Dust Crocodile.

"I... I was just created and have no memory." The scholar thought for a while and then said: "My maker asked me to travel and explore everywhere, so I am exploring and collecting information everywhere. Can you tell me What’s the situation here?”

"Really? The machine is really troublesome." The research director of Dust Crocodile seemed to believe it. It said: "Well, there is no progress in the research now. If you want to know, just ask, and I will tell you."

Scholars believe that... the dust crocodile seems to be a very talkative creature.

As a result, the research director answered many questions from the scholar. The scholar first asked about the general situation of the mirror world, and thus learned that this world is almost... a completely wild world.

There is no civilization in this world. It is full of crystallized jungles and various wild creatures. However, there are many ruins of civilization.

Just like this ruin, they are all remnants of past civilizations.

There are a lot of such ruins. Most of them are the residences of wild creatures and have been completely abandoned. As for why this is the case? Dust Crocodile said it was caused by a tragic war in the past.

However, there are still some... highly intelligent creatures living in some ruins, such as dust crocodiles. They are creatures that survived the war...

They live in these ruins, establish small communities, and build simple weapons and supplies to resist dangerous wild creatures and work hard to live here.

Some creatures have established relatively large groups, and then they invade other ruins to occupy more homes and resources. However, this is rare. Dust Crocodile said that it is very difficult to live here because of the danger. Too much.

Most races gather in the ruins, but there are a few who live a wandering life and run around. These races are called "wanderers".

After hearing what the Dust Crocodile said, the scholar realized that most of the exquisite creatures that he had seen in the crystal forest were dangerous, but they were not interested in the scholar.

There are also many creatures who unite with each other and trade supplies, and they live a pretty good life...Also, almost all races are constantly excavating ruins, trying to find some high-tech items from past civilizations in them to reconstruct, and some races dig out The technology for manufacturing intelligent machines has been developed, so the emergence of scholars is not surprising.

However, Dust Crocodile also said that the Scholar is the most intelligent machine it has ever seen... It has also seen other intelligent machines before, but in fact they are not very intelligent.

Although they can still survive now, every race here...including the Dust Crocodiles of course, they all want to restore the powerful civilization of the past, and they recently got an opportunity.

That opportunity comes from...underground.

It is said that a certain race dug deep into the ground while excavating the ruins, and discovered a sleeping ancient civilization underground.

This ancient civilization is older than all the civilizations they know, and it is said that this civilization has the most powerful technology. The secrets of these technologies and the city-states of the ancient civilization are buried deeper underground. If you want to know, just Something must be done to activate the guide system of this ancient civilization. Only with the guidance of the guide system can one go to the cities of the ancient civilization and obtain their technology.

To activate the guidance system, you must use the... body structure of some kind of creature.

This creature is the void cockroach of the Inca swarm.

According to the translation of information from the ancient civilization, this ancient civilization has been at war with this insect-like creature. Therefore, any race that unearths an ancient civilization must explain all the structures of the void cockroach's body in detail and translate it into ancient Chinese for input. In the guide system of ancient civilization, the guide system was then activated.

The ancient article specifically pointed out... that there is a neural connection system in the void cockroach's body. The most important thing is to unravel the detailed structure of the neural connection system and describe in detail how to collapse this connection.

In order to activate the guide system, it is now discovered that various creatures in ancient civilizations are studying the void cockroach, and they have reached an agreement with each other, that is, whoever unlocks the secrets of the void cockroach first and activates the guide system can obtain it first. Technology of ancient civilizations.

Then these races...including the Dust Crocodiles, are constantly studying the void cockroach, but the research has continued for a long time with no progress.

And recently, Dust Crocodile has discovered another problem, that is... mental abnormality.

They sometimes become trance-like, causing them to ignore their surroundings and even ignore dangers. The researcher believes that this is caused by the tower-like thing in the forest.

When the scholar heard this, he remembered that a dust crocodile was stabbed to death by crystal grass outside before, but his companions passed by without paying attention... It seemed to be caused by the twisting device.

After hearing the general situation, the scholar really didn't expect... The Beginning Realm actually put a lot of civilized species on the surface of the Mirror World.

They may want to observe the situation of each civilization at different stages, so they specially let these species stay in the ruins of destruction and live a relatively difficult life. In fact, this is very similar to the situation in many movies, and there are also many movies about Xumin Demonstrates the scene of virtual people struggling to survive in the ruins after the world war.

However, Shijing wanted them to study the void cockroach, but it was so complicated... and even used an ancient civilization or something to trick these species into studying it. Couldn't they just let them study it directly?

"These corpses..." After thinking about it, the scholar pointed to the void cockroach corpse next to him and said, "Where did you get it from?"

"Near the discovery site of ancient civilization." said the research director of Dust Crocodile: "There are still many there, and most of them have been taken by other races for research, but I don't think they have made any progress."

"How many races are being studied?" the scholar asked.

"There must be dozens. All species that have discovered ancient civilizations are eligible to participate." Dust Crocodile said: "But who originally customized this competition... Why can't I remember it?"

"Oh no!"

Suddenly, a scream made the scholar turn his head and look, only to see a hole opened in the ground not far away, and a dust crocodile emerged from the hole.

"What's going on?" The researcher looked at the dust crocodile's panic and asked quickly: "Is there an invasion of dangerous creatures in the underground residence?"

"It's not... it's that group of creatures!" said the dust crocodile: "That group of creatures called Lulum, they said they have successfully researched it! They plan to activate the guide system and go to the city of ancient civilization!"

"This...impossible! Why are you faster than us!" The researcher was surprised: "Hurry up, I'm going to take a look...you are continuing your research here!"

It said as it crawled into the hole, and after hesitating for half a second, the scholar followed behind it. (To be continued.) (www.. )
