Chapter 676 There Is Life Above Survival

Z-worms are running around in the base cave, doing transportation and construction work. Zhao Mai waved, and several Z-worms of various shapes left the work queue and stopped in front of Zhao Mai and the food reserves.

Zhao Mai pointed at the Z-worms, from their body structure, movement mechanism, pincer-like forelimbs and shovel-like hind limbs. "Look, forklifts, forklifts, excavators, bulldozers, heavy-duty freight trucks. Oh, you may not have seen some of them, just know that they are all machinery." Zhao Mai sighed and pointed at his head : "I understand now that the ecosystem cannot be built according to the way of an engineering team or an army, unless I just want to get an army of living robots. Xiaohua, if I say that what I created is a kind of flesh and blood golem, do you agree? ?"

Xiaohua looked at the Z worm and said after a while: "I have to say, it feels like a flesh and blood golem. But the Z worm uses the natural force, which is not comparable to the golem that uses magic. You are all living creatures, flesh and blood. Not the golem.”

"If we continue to develop, it's almost the same. Xiaohua, reserve food, and with the help of Z-worms, I can learn and imitate the abilities of various creatures. I can breathe fire and generate electricity, I can release petrified light, and I can teleport like a dog ( Reserve Grain snorted twice). But I just learned the result, or learned a formula. The ecosystem is not the result, it is a dynamic variable, a process of infinite pursuit of harmony. My ecosystem needs emotion. "

"Xiaohua, you are the enlightenment tree. You know what plants like. I don't want my soul to be a monster pursuing protein and carbohydrates, but should be able to enjoy life. I hope the same is true for my Z-worm." Zhao Mai said : "I have a plan to use my psychic powers to connect you and the Z-worms, and you will teach the Z-worms how to see the world. Let the creeps have a desire for sunlight and water, instead of just obeying orders like a program. . As long as I don’t give orders, they won’t do anything, which is wrong. I want them to come alive so that the ecosystem can come alive.”

"You want us to teach Z Worm, so that our thoughts will affect Z Worm, or even you?" Xiaohua was a little surprised: "Zhao Mai, don't you protect your thoughts extremely strictly and never let others get involved? ?"

"It's okay for you two." Zhao Mai said: "I have already thought about it. This is the best way and almost the only way. If you are willing, I will open the Z-worm's psychic power core to You. You will be very busy and need to pay attention to and manage the activities of the Z-worm, especially sharing your own feelings and the feelings of the Z-worm. It will not be too comfortable. "

"How long will it take to complete?"

"Half a year to a year." Zhao Mai said, "I will accompany you spiritually."

"Okay, you promised to accompany us, that's why I agreed." Xiaohua nodded: "Start quickly and finish quickly."

"Thank you. I know that such a request is equivalent to asking you to completely open your mind and synchronize with the Z-worm..." Zhao Mai touched Xiaohua's hair lovingly, and then said to the reserve: "If you don't agree, just bark twice." can."

Reserve Grain only barked once, which was a sign of agreement. Zhao Mai nodded, flicked his temples with his fingers, and released the mental barrier.

All the Z-worms stopped, including the ghost ship and the energy factory. They seemed to be frozen in time and space, losing the ability to react and act.

Zhao Mai will first use himself as a node and use psychic powers to connect Xiaohua and the food reserves. "Xiao Hua, all the creeps and energy material factories are yours. You can develop them as you wish. The food reserves and combat-type Z insects are all yours."

Then, he took a deep breath, plugged in the Z-worm, isolated the mind of the ghost ship, and then handed over his control, just as a bystander and learner.

Something magical happened. All the Z-bugs kept shaking and then bumping around as if they were drunk. They beat their bodies, jumped up and down, and some even bit each other. The two energy plants were in urgent need of operation and soon exceeded their capacity. They cannot discharge the high temperature in their bodies and have begun to spontaneously combust.

"Don't worry, just believe in the Z-worm as much as you believe in me." Zhao Mai touched the grain reserves with one hand and the small flowers with the other, using natural force and psychic powers to help them calm down. "The root of everything is still your own body. Think of the neural signals of the Z-worm as a movie. You are the critic, then the screenwriter, director and editor."

Reserve Liang opened his eyes, turned his head and licked the back of Zhao Mai's hand. "Good dog, you've actually learned it initially. You're so smart. Do you want something to eat as a reward?"

Before Zhao Mai could take out the ham, he saw two Z-worms walking over holding a large piece of germ carpet. "You don't mean to eat that thing, it doesn't taste good."

"Woof woof!" The reserve barked twice, and the Z insect stopped. The dog's thoughts will now be directly realized by the Z-worm, just like a person controls his or her arm to pick up an apple. Zhao Mai took out the food from the spiritual space, removed the things that dogs could not eat, and piled them all on the ground.

"Remember, you have to learn to control, otherwise at the thought of eating, the Z-worms will pounce on and eat all the food." Zhao Mai's words made the food reserve's eyes widen. For the first time, it felt that its own Too much thought and too many thoughts is a burden. Zhao Mai "motivates" the dog with food, and then goes to take care of Xiaohua.

Compared with animals, it is the biggest span for Z insects to truly experience the world from the perspective of plants. Zhao Mai has looked back on his bloodline history, and there is no trace of his past as a plant. This lack of experience caused great difficulties for Xiaohua.

Fortunately, she is a tree demon and can understand human thoughts, so she will not fall into psychic powers that are difficult to synchronize. Zhao Mai accompanies Xiaohua, talks to her through the green dream of natural force, comforts her emotions, and uses his own experience to help her get through the running-in period. Slowly, the creep and manufacturing plants calmed down and began to work in an orderly manner again, and the flowers were able to manifest again.

"You have created a very powerful species, which you will only know if you are connected to it." Xiaohua praised: "Their ability to accept is far stronger than I thought. I found that this matter is not helping you, but helping me. Myself. Zhao Mai, put me down."

"Put it here?" Zhao Mai was a little strange: "It's dark here, what are you doing here?"

"Keep it secret." Xiaohua covered her mouth and laughed, with a sly expression in her eyes. "It's not a bad thing anyway."

"Okay, it's as mysterious as it is mysterious." Zhao Mai shook his head. He only gave control of the Z-worm to Xiaohua and the food reserves, but he did not give up. Everything that happened here was still under his control. As long as he wants to pay attention, he can know what Xiaohua has done.

But doesn’t that sound a bit like voyeurism? Zhao Mai swallowed hard and realized that this was a problem.
