Chapter 2929 Design
"A parasite of civilization... an obstructionist?"
A long time ago, there was a legend.
There is a group of creatures whose 'civilization trajectory' has been set.
They just need to follow the set 'track', and their civilization will become more and more powerful.
Unlike other civilizations that need to explore on their own, they will "automatically" learn various technologies.
It's as if the entire civilization has been designed, and it is said that they will be very powerful in the end.
But how powerful it is is unclear.
And this civilization refers to... the bitter people.
They are a designed civilization... so they can thrive even in the void where there is almost nothing.
This kind of civilization itself has quite a lot of "unlocks". As long as they come into contact with certain substances or encounter certain things, they will "unlock" some effects like awakening.
These effects include them suddenly learning certain technologies, suddenly knowing how to make something, or suddenly knowing what is somewhere in the void.
Just like lifespan, they can unlock quite a lot of things, and this unlocking power will also make the entire civilization grow rapidly.
This kind of civilization was designed probably because its designer had some special purpose.
Maybe in the future I will want to use them for war, or for something special.
And the parasite is here to destroy this designed civilization.
It has been parasitic on this civilization since a very early time, and continues to have various influences on them.
Under its influence, the people of Kuding have completely deviated from the originally set 'track'.
They could originally unlock a lot of things and grow rapidly, but now except for their lifespan... nothing has been unlocked.
Even the entire civilization was controlled by the parasite.
The 'random death' originally created by the parasites was actually unlocked for them.
Generally speaking, when the bitter nail people come into contact with something, they will unlock it... This unlocking phenomenon means that they suddenly have a new memory in their minds.
This memory is the unlocked content, usually technical information or something like that.
However, this unlocked content will not be distributed to the entire clan, only a certain individual will know it, and it cannot be known repeatedly.
For example, if there is a stone that allows them to unlock certain technical information, then only the first bitter nail people who touch the stone can unlock it.
When the Kuding people come into contact with this stone later, no information will be generated in their minds.
In this case, if a certain bitter nail citizen suddenly becomes very intelligent and invents many things... this does not mean that it is... a 'genius', it just means that it has been exposed to certain things and unlocked certain information.
Of course, other poor people still think it is a genius. In fact, it itself doesn’t know that it was it that unlocked it.
It will think that it invented this and that it has suddenly become smarter, that's all.
This is a very easy thing to do for the parasite.
When it finds out which poor citizen has unlocked new content, it will kill it immediately, leaving it without even the chance to invent or create.
This is the truth about 'random death'.
Almost no hardcore people can successfully use the unlocked content.
Only by unlocking the life span, the parasite cannot be stopped.
Because they can be unlocked repeatedly.
Of course, there is no need for the parasite to unlock the content related to lifespan... The main reason is that the parasite still wants to control this civilization.
Of course, it develops as it wants.
It does not necessarily kill the unlocked bitter nail people. Sometimes it will modify the unlocked memories in their brains and let them create what they want.
And at some point, this control started to go wrong.
That’s when you encounter painful energy.
These bitter people use the energy of pain as their immune system to eliminate the parasitic microorganisms in their bodies.
In response to this out-of-control situation, the parasite immediately adopted another method - controlling their minds.
In fact, the dream network of the bitter nail people was created by the parasite.
The technology of this dream network was unlocked after the bitter nail people came into contact with something.
The parasite immediately noticed that they had unlocked this technology, so it immediately had some influence on the brain of the bitter nail citizen who had unlocked the technology.
Mainly, the memory of this technology is modified.
Then, this poor citizen invented the dream network technology, but the "content" inside was somewhat different.
The dream network it invented allows parasites to 'hide' in it very easily.
Initially, it wanted to control this group of poor people through both their minds and bodies.
Although it is possible to use microorganisms to transform the brains of the bitter people, this is a relatively complicated operation.
It cannot control the thinking of the majority of the poor people at the same time through this.
With the Dream Network, the parasite believed it could control all the Kuding people at once.
After the bitter nail people came into contact with the energy of pain, the dream network became the only way for the parasite to control them.
At first the parasite was very worried.
Because not every Kudingmin is always connected to the dream...it can't always control every Kudingmin.
In this way, it will not be able to prevent the bitter nail people from unlocking something all the time.
In addition, the bitter nail people later used small crystals to protect their minds, making it difficult for the parasites to invade their minds.
In this case, the parasite has almost completely lost control over the population.
However, the parasite soon discovered something interesting.
That group of bitter nail people used the energy of pain to protect themselves, but it made them... unable to unlock.
When the Bitter Nail People come into contact with something that can unlock information, the painful energy in their bodies will be affected... This prevents them from generating memories in their brains.
Although they used pain energy to fight the parasites, it prevented them from unlocking.
Of course, the bitter nail people themselves did not notice this situation. They always believed that pain energy was a very useful thing.
And the parasite plans to... use the bitter nail people to study the energy of pain.
So it has always supported the bitter nail people in using the pain crystals.
Through long-term research, the parasite learned the characteristics of painful energy.
It knew...the energy of pain should be related to the bus creature.
The nature of painful energy is very similar to the 'thinking' of the bus.
To be precise, it is the half of thinking that belongs to 'energy'... because part of the bus creature's nervous system is made of 'real matter', and part of it is for transmitting energy.
The parasite intends to absorb all the painful energy.
But it encountered...obstruction.
