Chapter 582 The History of Fish

Chen Feng looked around and saw an endless ocean.

The color of the sea water is different from the blue on the earth, it is fluorescent green.

Visibility is not high.

With the naked eye, humans can only see things within about five meters.

But now this is a virtual world, and Chen Feng can rely on the correlation between quantum information to see billions of miles away.

He soon discovered that this was not just an ocean.

He was on the surface of a huge liquid sphere.

The diameter of the sphere exceeds 300,000 kilometers.

There is no doubt that this is a liquid planet, composed of water and countless water-soluble minerals.

Due to the effect of gravity, the density of this water should increase continuously from the surface to the inside.

There are dozens of huge suspended objects floating in the interior of the planet, located high or low.

There are also countless small suspended objects.

Of course, although it is said to be small, its diameter actually ranges from thousands of kilometers to dozens of kilometers.

This is the "home planet" of fish.

Chen Feng tentatively named it Fish Star.

The liquid in the fish star is naturally the sky of the fish.

Those suspended objects, large or small, are the "continent" where fish live.

Chen Feng once saw that among the many slave planets blocked near the center of the galaxy, there was a liquid planet with a diameter of exactly 300,000 kilometers.

At that time, he just had a glimpse and passed by, but he did not expect that in this timeline, the two sides would actually interact with each other.

He got off to a good start and determined the origin of the fish in just the first step.

Chen Feng did not try to find out the other party's consciousness from here.

Because the virtual world he saw in front of him was originally what the other party said to him.

The language of the stars speaking fish is pure quantum random entanglement, which can contain a huge amount of information in extremely small fragments.

The entire simulated home star environment is just part of this massive amount of information.

As for the more straightforward meaning of these words, Chen Feng has to discover it himself.

The reason he came here was to be a translator.

Chen Feng recalled it carefully. Among the fish stars he had seen, aquatic intelligent life was actually a large category.

There are many subdivided races under this broad category.

Due to differences in water flow environment and density, the "fish" living on suspended continents at different heights vary greatly.

Even on some relatively large floating continents, dozens of subdivided races will be born according to the layering from top to bottom.

Different subdivided races have great differences in living habits, body posture, etc., and have even produced reproductive isolation.

But the wonderful thing is that all subdivided races recognize their identity as fish stars and are very harmonious in their thoughts and ideologies.

At that time, Chen Feng had a sudden glance and obtained such a huge amount of information. Corresponding to his current situation, he discovered something fishy.

In the previous timeline, there were no fish species like this one.

The fish warriors that humans encountered this time could physically cross the universe, fly using curvature, have the ability to jump, and release ultra-high energy. This is completely unreasonable.

Some fish people who live in ultra-high temperature and ultra-pressure environments near the center of the planet have very special abilities, but they are unlikely to reach the level of fish warriors.

Moreover, the traveling form of the Fish Planet warriors clearly looks like a shallow-water species, no different from large fish such as dolphins, whales, or sharks on the earth, but their ability can obviously soar in the vacuum of the universe. It seems that on the Fish Planet It's no problem to ride freely inside.

There are many contradictions between the two, proving that they are by no means the product of natural evolution.

Even if the Fish Planets existed for a long time and evolved, it is theoretically impossible to completely transcend the external environment when they were born and evolve from an underwater race to a space race.

In the previous timeline, Chen Feng had conducted high-intensity study.

Anthropologists in this timeline have also conducted a lot of research on cosmology, and Chen Feng now has a huge amount of cosmology knowledge.

The more knowledge he acquires, the more he knows what is possible and what is not possible in the universe.

The appearance of the fish warriors violates the basic rules of the universe, just like the human colonizers.

Humans change from one species to another when they become colonizers, and so do fish.

Chen Feng is getting closer and closer to the truth he wants.

If he wants to help the Traveler Planet defeat its enemies, he must decipher the secrets of its super-speed maneuvers, fog release, and special weapons. Then he must first figure out what has happened to these fish and whether they have adopted the same reproductive clothing as humans. technology, or other unknown technologies.

This is just like a doctor giving a diagnosis. You have to find the exact focus of the disease before you can prescribe the right medicine.

His consciousness began to wander around in this liquid world, looking for more information.

If he alone wanted to decipher the huge information in the other party's "language", he would have to spend a lot of effort.

Fortunately, he has the computing power of Fanxing to support him, and a large number of human mathematicians and linguists, under the overall arrangement of Fanxing, provide him with auxiliary decoding capabilities from behind.

At this time, Chen Feng was patrolling casually, and all the information he saw was being sent out in the form of resonance signals.

The essence of Chen Feng's brain thinking signal is his thinking quantum storm.

Now that he has lost his body, his genetic arousal level cannot be measured, but there is no doubt that the complexity of his quantum storm of thoughts is beyond the limits of ordinary humans.

Since Chen Feng is used to translate the language of the Fish Stars, the accuracy of capturing the information contained in the thought storm must be absolutely accurate. The accuracy requirement is at least several decimal points higher than when synchronizing information normally, which is comparable to point-to-point personality copying. .

With the technology currently available to humans, it would have been impossible to capture such an accurate signal.

But it is a bit strange to say that the preparations Chen Feng made quietly before played a major role at this time.

Fanxing established the first information channel for him in the traditional quantum network, but the resonance of thinking on the T100 side became the second reference channel that can be used for data comparison.

When outside technicians read the information, they will get the same information fragments through two channels at the same time, and then compare them with each other to improve the accuracy as much as possible.

At first, the technical staff outside were all at a loss when facing the same vast ocean. The only part of the estimated information they could obtain came from the description of the slave star brought back by Chen Feng from the previous timeline.

But thirty-seven seconds after the synchronization started, the Solar System Earth Biology Institute came up with important conclusions.

They believe that fish language is a "stacked" language.

A stacked language is defined as follows:

Certain races with strange memory characteristics will use continuously superimposed languages ​​when communicating with each other.

It is assumed that this intelligent race has a pair of ancestors who first gave birth to intelligence.

The first words spoken by the two wise ancestors when they met had only one word, "you".

The second sentence becomes "Hello".

The communication between the two continued to deepen, and every sentence they said to each other was adding a word after the previous sentence.

To understand it from a human perspective, maybe it was just two "people" chatting. By the end, the number of words has reached a level that humans cannot imagine.

Moreover, the memories of races that adopt stacked languages ​​will be passed on to the next generation along with epigenetic information.

The communication content between the next generation starts from the first sentence and continues to be superimposed on the information passed down from the previous generation, until the amount of information is "infinite".

This may seem unbelievable, but there are vivid examples on earth.

Humans once had a misunderstanding, and they always liked to use "the memory of a fish is only seven seconds" to make fun of someone's poor memory.

But in fact this sentence is completely wrong.

Not only do fish memories last a long time, they can even be passed on to the next generation across generations.

For example, the ornamental fish in scenic spots, as soon as they are born, do not even need to be taught by others. They naturally know that when someone comes near the water, they have to move closer because there will be food there.

For another example, fish know from birth which areas are dangerous waters and which areas are relatively safe and can avoid natural enemies.

From a purely earth science perspective, the way DNA carries memory is not mysterious. It is just a very simple function of methylation modification, which means that without changing the DNA sequence, through the modification of specific enzymes, the nucleotides are modified. Covalently binds a specific methyl group.

Different methyl groups are combined together to form a huge amount of information that can be passed on to the next generation. This is reflected in language, which is stacked language.

Therefore, people in the Institute of Earth Biology believe that the fish people use stacked language.

Of course, the fish on earth have not mastered stacked language, because language itself is one of the symbols of intelligent races.

As an intelligent race, the amount of information and complexity in its language is far beyond that of ordinary fish on earth.

The reason why the Fish Stars clearly show a wide variety of racial differentiation but still maintain unity is that no matter what height of the suspended continent the Fish Stars are active in, what physical characteristics and special abilities they have, they are the earliest ancestors of wisdom. But they are still the same race, but during the migration process, their morphology and genetic sequence have evolved differentially with changes in the environment.

But the languages ​​of all races can be traced back to the same pair of ancestors.

In the end, reproductive isolation did not lead to a complete split among the Fish Stars.

Therefore, the "paragraph" that Chen Feng is seeing now represents the entire history of the Fish Star people from their birth to their present appearance on the battlefield of the Traveler Galaxy.

This sentence is a living and comprehensive history book, telling the entire history of a huge civilization from its birth to its vigorous growth and then to its enslavement.

Chen Feng's conversation with this fish was like a conversation with the history of the other's entire civilization.

Now that we understand that the other party's information is history, the subsequent analysis work becomes much simpler.

Chen Feng expanded his search area and encountered many virtual fish from different generations.

The shape of some fish is incompatible with the external environment.

For example, this place is obviously a high-temperature suspended continent that often sprays thin lava, but it is home to a race that is more adaptable to low-temperature environments.

These misplaced species were exactly the Fish Stars of the old era who existed at a certain stage in history, but were later eliminated during evolution as the environment on the suspended continent changed.

The environment in certain fixed areas is also constantly changing. Sometimes when Chen Feng focuses on a certain area, one second it is a continent suspended by a strong magnetic field, and the next second it becomes an electrified continent.

Countless fragmented information was continuously captured, collected, and passed on by him, and finally the people and stars outside pieced it together bit by bit into a grand history book.

There will be another chapter tonight, but it will be very late.

[Note: Scientists have discovered that in mammals (including humans), DNA methylation modifications are not stably inherited to the next generation, and large-scale "methylation erasure phenomena" occur when genetic information is transmitted. 】
