Chapter 929 Where to Go Together
Xiangshan put aside the topic for the time being and asked instead: "How are the conditions of those dolphin friends now? Have they stabilized?"
Even after benchmarking improvements, the performance of dolphin biological brains in "thinking" is still weaker than that of humans. They think about relying more on man-made systems. But the initial setting of this system is that "programs must give way to thinking and instinct." For dolphins, this means their primal instincts have too much authority. They will appear more impulsive and innocent - this emotional behavioral logic makes even them find it troublesome.
Due to the mismatch between the brain and the central chip, when they face some application scenarios, the system is prone to errors.
For example, when you are too emotional.
When Sicassi learned that the squid she had preyed on in the past were all intelligent creatures, she couldn't accept it at all.
This is also the result of two hundred years of cultural strengthening within the whale.
Cetaceans can prey on each other. For toothed whales, baleen whales are the best prey. Killer whales prey on almost all marine mammals, from blue whales to seals. And when these remaining whales gather together, the toothed whales must restrain their predatory instincts. "Intelligent creatures must not be regarded as prey" is a culture constructed by cetaceans themselves.
Every whale immediately concluded that this was absolutely wrong.
For whales, it is not a level of understanding that "murder is illegal".
In human society, there are still several situations where "you can kill someone" - for example, the other person is a bad person, the other person is going to endanger your life, and so on. Even "in extreme circumstances, should eating the same kind be considered a crime?" is a topic that can be discussed.
The understanding that "you must not prey on intelligent life" is such a priority in whale culture that it is even the premise and core of whales' ethics, leaving no room for discussion.
In other words, if such a culture is not built, perhaps they will not be able to form a harmonious collective.
Without such a culture, baleen whales will always have a grudge against toothed whales.
"That's the case..." Xiang Shan sighed: "I've been worried about the squid side. He doesn't know the situation here, and has been thinking that if the whale is in poor condition, it really needs this one. Protein, what if you have to eat squid? He also discussed with the squids that the bottom line of the negotiation was that they could give the bodies of their dead companions to the whales, and even take the initiative to disconnect part of the arms regularly... They hoped to get it. They really didn’t expect this kind of culture from the Whale side.”
"Strictly speaking, whales will also regard the corpses of their companions as food. But they will never prey on intelligent creatures." The warrior thought carefully: "I am not very familiar with the culture of the old era, but I really found it for a while. There is no suitable metaphor..."
"I understand, I understand. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel sick just imagining it." Xiang Shan sighed: "So how are they doing now?"
Sicassi collapsed on the spot and fell into a state of madness, and the entire dolphin rushed out in a daze.
Kledici on the side should have stopped him. But he is also a dolphin and cannot escape this congenital defect.
The whale Haupdemann hurriedly sang a whale song to alert his companions in the distance.
But this move is undoubtedly dangerous. This place is close to the asylum but monitored area. It is very dangerous to lose your mind and wander around in a place like this.
"Ah, this. I guess the protectors no longer care about defense." The unknown knight laughed: "A first-level officer is simply gone. For the protectors, this is already big news. Especially if the "God of War" is hidden on the earth, they will gather the surrounding navy in the shortest possible time and then try their best to shrink it. Now you may only see one being moved. Empty places. Even if some large equipment is inconvenient to transport, they will definitely remove the key modules.”
"Ah, this." Xiang Shan pondered for a moment: "I thought this place was quite important. It was the starting point for the encounter between humans and alien civilizations, and David...that guy from Zhengtian King later took over this place and started Personal museum!”
"Alien... ah." After all, this knight is a direct descendant of the Sixth God of War, and he knows something about what happened back then: "Ogun... But isn't that thing just a cultural relic? Knights don't blow up cultural relics randomly. What’s the value of the protector sending a large number of experts for protection? Moreover, I haven’t heard that King Zheng Tian has any arrangements here?”
"How could it be?" Xiang Shan waved his hand: "Apart from research results, what he was most proud of in the first half of his life was taking over the Rama Project Park and then building a personal museum on the site."
"Museum..." The knight read the dictionary in his mind several times before confirming the meaning of the word: "A place where certain things are stored... are also things that have no other meaning except historical value. The knight does not specialize To destroy this kind of thing. Maybe it's just that there is no need to send troops to guard it? Anyway, as far as I know, there is not much force in this place, except for this matter, the protectors will give priority to gathering together to prevent them from being defeated by the masters. Sikasi will be fine."
"That's good." Xiang Shan sighed: "This matter is also very...sigh."
Due to the overpowering dominance of dinosaurs, the ancestors of mammals were marginalized for hundreds of millions of years and had to choose a nocturnal, cave-dwelling lifestyle. In this environment, vision was not that useful. The ancestors of mammals permanently degenerated their color vision during this period, and their overall vision was quite casual. But the hearing system of mammals is quite excellent.
Even after the extinction of dinosaurs, mammals occupied a new land, and this degeneration that had already occurred could not be undone. Only a few groups such as mammals acquired polychromatic vision through mutation. Whales later chose to rely on ultrasound, and vision was only auxiliary.
The color vision of cephalopods is quite powerful. Their eyes are highly adapted to the ocean. Squids develop their own language based on their own color change system.
Whales really can't see the wisdom of squids.
Looking at dolphins in the mountains, they also feel that they are quite free and happy. If it weren't for Ola Freeman's reminder, he probably wouldn't have thought that these dolphins have been in a state of "unable to speak normally". They have never spoken a word of their own language in their normal volume and normal tone in their entire lives.
What whales see when they see squids is probably even more unrealistic than this.
The same is true for squids. The squid's hearing system is quite average. Not only is it low in sensitivity, it can only hear sounds between 400 and 1,500 Hz. Humans, on the other hand, can hear sounds between 20 and 20,000 Hz.
But humans can only hear a small part of whale songs. The part that squids can hear is even less.
Can these two groups really coexist for a long time?
