Chapter 3211 Brain Contact

The initial war between the rat creatures presented many interesting situations. Since they could not make any weapons... these creatures were unable to cause any effective damage to their own kind.

They often wore full body armor in later wars.

This can result in a large group of rats pushing, ramming and biting each other for a long time without any casualties.

Although they tried to add various weapons to their armor during this war, due to the influence of metal microorganisms, in the end they were still almost unable to harm their own kind.

Under such circumstances, a very wonderful "order" was born among them.

These rats began to seek solutions to their problems...other than war.

And they did find it...they discovered that war was just one of countless solutions.

Because it is the easiest to think of and implement, they have always thought about fighting.

Now these rats have entered an era of complete peace. Whenever they encounter a problem, they will first deny fighting and then start thinking of other solutions.

In this peaceful era, they are not living very happily.

Because they have established a large number of laws that strictly prohibit any form of disputes and attempts to attack their own kind.

Because once any situation arises that provokes a large-scale fight, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

Of course, ordinary rat residents are also strictly prohibited from owning any armor or equipment.

Anyone who disobeys will be killed immediately.

Although they cannot start a war, it is very easy to execute a single lawbreaker.

After developing for a period of time, these rats soon became confused about the current situation.

They wondered why they couldn't make weapons... or anything like that.

At first, they regarded this as a "natural phenomenon" and did not have too many doubts about it.

But gradually they began to wonder and began to investigate the phenomenon carefully.

Although they have all kinds of knowledge about the intelligent creatures in the void, they have no intelligence about the source of this knowledge.

All knowledge is acquired by certain mouse pups with a certain chance of 'awakening' when they are born.

But they didn't know where this knowledge came from, and they didn't care much at first.

But now they are beginning to wonder... and they also discover that a lot of things in this knowledge cannot be created.

At first they thought this was normal, but now... they began to investigate why this was happening.

They soon discovered that...the reason they couldn't make their things was related to the 'dust' that was everywhere in the world.

Using something that can see tiny things, they discovered that the world is full of metallic microbes.

At first they were frightened when they discovered these microorganisms.

Because this kind of creature that can decompose various things at will...actually exists widely around them.

At first, the mice didn't think it was a living creature, they just thought it was something very dangerous.

But after studying it for a while, the mice noticed that the metallomicrons themselves seemed to follow a pattern.

There are 'standards' for their decomposition.

But the most important thing is that the rats noticed that their knowledge was affected by metal microorganisms.

Whether each cub will "awaken" knowledge when it is born depends mainly on whether its brain is affected by microorganisms.

These mice are also filled with microbes, and every time a pup grows inside them, these metallic microbes can directly affect the pup's brain.

Then, mice slowly figured out...a way for non-young mice to acquire knowledge.

In fact, all we need to do is let these metal microorganisms directly "infect" the brain.

This is also very simple. All you have to do is find a large number of metal microorganisms and eat them.

These metal microbes roam throughout their bodies, and some get close to the brain.

As long as they get close to the brain, adult rats can also obtain...'Void Knowledge'.

This has actually happened to them before, but much less often than with the cubs.

But if you eat it intentionally... you can gain a lot of knowledge.

In this way, they began to carefully study things related to the knowledge of the void.

Before, their knowledge was mainly about the structure of some objects. Now, by actively swallowing this... knowledge, they know a lot about various intelligent creatures in the void.

It was only at this time that they knew about the existence of a place called the Void, and... various things.

When these rats were used as experimental creatures before, they didn't know about the void. Basically, they had been living in a "virtual" city.

And they didn't know about it after living here, until now...

They discovered that there were so many intelligent creatures in the void.

I also discovered my own 'identity', and... the history of this place.

That is to say, this place was once a world occupied by leaf-cutter ants.

So, this group of rats began to investigate everything in this world.

Their investigation method is also very simple, which is to dig everywhere, find more metal microorganisms... and then eat them.

These metal microorganisms can provide them with a large amount of intelligence, in addition to the situations of various intelligent creatures in the void, there is also the 'essence' of these metal microorganisms.

They are related to leaf-cutter ants, which once dominated the world.

The mice found in the study that it seemed that the leaf-cutter ants suddenly transformed their entire population into these metal microorganisms at some point.

Although it is unknown how it happened, mice can detect the "consciousness" of leaf-cutter ants.

Some mice speculated that these metallic microorganisms might be some invaders from the void, and they had a war with the leaf-cutter ants.

Eventually the two races 'fused' for unknown reasons.

This is just the mice's guess. In short, the leaf-cutter ants' consciousness now lies in the metal microorganisms and they can control these creatures.

The leafcutter ants' goals in life are now very different from before.

Now they are not interested in most things, so these metal microbes mostly act on 'instinct'.

But mice don't know how this instinct works. In short, the leaf-cutter ants' consciousness does not directly control them.

At least most of the time.

Leaf-cutter ants mainly use these metal microorganisms to do one thing, which is... construct the world.

They have already constructed two other worlds.

This is mainly related to the ancient space.
