Chapter 228 Brain in a Vat

This feeling of finding the same kind is really a subtle touch.

The Blue-Golden Age Alliance has been in the high-dimensional universe for 3,000 years, and has come into contact with cosmic civilizations as many as double digits!

There are first-level civilizations that have just entered the universe, and there are also second-level civilizations.

The two affiliated civilizations in the alliance can be regarded as secondary civilizations with fairly good moral character.

I have also encountered some level-3 civilizations, and even encountered level-4 civilizations once or twice!

The universe is not a dark forest! Civilization and civilization can communicate.

But civilizations with truly "high morals" are rare...very rare.

In most cases, the contact between civilizations is almost all intrigues, racking their brains for a little benefit, and guarding against each other.

In many cases, there is no in-depth communication at all, and they leave directly after simply trading... Carbon-based species are more terrifying than silicon-based species!

When you encounter silicon-based species, just go to war with them, and run away if you can't fight them. But when it comes to carbon-based classes, God knows what happens when you negotiate...

Even if selfishness is a behavior that is in line with the logic of survival, it is more often to take a step back and see a brighter future!

The in-depth communication between civilizations is a win-win choice. It can often gain more knowledge, more technology, learn from each other, find loopholes in thinking, and gain greater chances of survival in the vast high-dimensional universe. Is there a loss in exchanging knowledge? No, knowledge is the only wealth that can be shared.

But in more cases, there is no way to do this. The various civilizations do not trust each other, because they care about a little bit of interest. This distrust hinders cooperation among civilizations.

Of course, apart from the Yayan people who are praising each other's "high morality", the aliens of the other two races are questioning in their hearts, "It can't be a lie, right?" thing?"

"But the other party has already obtained the specimen of the ghost body..."

The anxiety of war, there are casualties every moment, spaceships are shot down every moment, shelters are broken into wreckage by shells...

In any case, they have no other choice but to believe in humans!

But the good news came quickly. With the passage of time, the intensity of war in some military areas is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is completely unimaginable. How did humans do it?

Is there really any super life form against the ghost body?

One mystery after another appeared in my heart, I couldn't get an explanation, and I didn't know how to ask them. The aliens of the Blue and Gold Alliance, don't mention how anxious I am.

...

While humans and the leaders of the Blue-Golden Age Alliance were talking to each other, Jelly had sneaked into the refuge controlled by the ghost body, and it saw incredible scenes...

A large number of robots are busy working in the ultra-large central shelter with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers!

The scene here is completely different from the human sanctuary "Kunlun Mountain". The first impression is that it is spacious and huge. Even though Kunlun Mountain is already huge, the space of this large shelter may be a hundred times larger. The height of the ceiling alone is a full 1.2 kilometers.

Installing this holographic image on the ceiling at the highest point perfectly simulates the green sky and white clouds of the mother star, and there are lakes and mountains in the farther places!

What a rich civilization, so rich that this civilization has enough resources to simulate the former natural environment.

Living here should be quite comfortable.

Not far away is a super-large three-dimensional city, where robots come and go, busy and orderly at the same time. Billions of robots are controlled by an invisible consciousness, just like countless cells in the human body, busy with their own work.

And this invisible consciousness is—the ghost body!

The most important task of these robots is to produce more spaceships to fight against the armies of the outside world.

At the same time, some robots are still busy, sending intelligent life under anesthesia into the operating room for a series of operations—brain cutting surgery!

Jelly felt a little curious, and remembered the important task Zhang Ran entrusted to it - "shooting"!

It sneaked past and pointed a camera at these odd scenes.

The whole process was extremely horrifying, as if in some movies, human beings were made into "human flesh batteries" kind of weird scene.

Whether it was the orangutan-like Yayan people, or the octopus people, or the lizard people, after the captives of these three races were captured alive by robots, they were all given anesthesia, lying on the operating table, and lined up for surgery.

Skilled surgical robots cut off their brains completely, soaked the white brains in a light blue liquid, and then plugged in the wires very skillfully...

These severed brains are connected to special supercomputers.

? ? ?

Jelly became more and more curious. It didn't understand what the scene in front of it was. It just felt uncomfortable. Its innate instinct didn't like these white brains... The complex neural network system brought it a kind of Not a good feeling.

But not far away, another dark voice is attracting it.

So it rushed over at an even faster speed...

...

Dongfang Panshi, the captain's room.

The fierce frontline war is still going on, and the drones on the human side are like cannon fodder, which are constantly being consumed.

War is really a big money eater. To manufacture a drone requires a lot of parts to assemble, but it only takes a second to consume it!

Many experts are calculating the gains and losses of this war.

As long as you can win...yes, as long as you can win...it's still profitable, after all, resources can be recycled.

Humans are even a little fortunate that their side supported the Blue-Gold Era Alliance early. Otherwise, this alliance will be completely extinct, and the conventional firepower of human beings really can't beat the ghost body!

Some other scientists are studying the "Kasimilim" that has just been delivered - this machine that can create things in the void!

I don't know the principle at all, but it's a toy of a higher civilization?

a toy?

As long as a serious intelligent life stands in front of this machine, it will respond and generate a corresponding understandable voice in the mind of the intelligent life... What is the principle of this, it is completely incomprehensible?

Facing the toys of advanced civilization but unable to crack them, these experts anxiously scratched their heads and ears, and thoughts popped up in their minds.

At this moment, another soldier shouted loudly in the communication channel: "Report, the small robot carried by Jelly sent back an electromagnetic wave signal, and it captured something!"

"Wait...this picture..."

Lieutenant Colonel Guo Weiqiang, who was located in the investigation department, cursed inwardly when he heard the screech of panic from the investigators.

To be a good communicator is to deliver the message effectively no matter what happens, stumbling is a disqualification!

But when he saw the picture taken by Jelly, a cold chill began to rush in his heart, as if the ultra-low temperature of absolute zero froze his blood.

"What is... what are you doing?"

This scene was really beyond his understanding, even making a movie would not dare to make such a horror: so many brains, an innumerable number of brains, were soaked in the light blue liquid!

The peripheral manipulator handled these brains swiftly, piercing the brains one after another with sharp needles...

Guo Wei stubbornly continued to look down, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, as if his brain had been pricked by a needle.

He stopped scolding the terrified investigator, and started calling His Highness next door to report the situation.

"Your Highness, the ghost body is creating a brain in a vat!"

Soon, Zhang Ran also got the news. The dense scenes on the screen made everyone in the captain's room quiet down.

The members of the surrounding think tank discussed in a low voice in horror: "Brain in a vat simulator?"

"Is the ghost body studying the brains of intelligent life? I have observed that the number of needles inserted in the three different races is different...there may be as many as thousands of needles."

These brains seem to be still alive, and some blood vessels are still slowly wriggling...

"A lot of brains in vats, wouldn't all the captives of the Blue Gold Age Alliance become like this?!"

"They... are miserable."

These scenes were only accidentally photographed by Jelly, and the number of real brains in vats will only be more than what is shown in the picture.

But it was just a glimpse, when humans saw this terrifying scene, they were really shocked and overwhelmed.

Zhang Ran swallowed, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Faced with this kind of scene, no matter what position he is in, whether he is a soldier, a scientist or an engineer, Qi Qi feels a chill in his neck, as if his head will fall off his neck at any time.

A question arose in everyone's mind, if the ghost body occupied the Dongfang Panshi, would humans be treated in the same way?

The answer is inevitable, human beings will also have their brains removed, soaked in blue liquid, and treated as experimental items.

What kind of enemy is this... It is completely different from the silicon-based life we ​​have encountered before, strong artificial intelligence? Do you want a strong artificial intelligence that keeps intelligent life in captivity?

All intelligent life will have their brains cut off and soaked in nutrient solution?

Just like a guinea pig, being randomly experimented with?

In that case, what is the essential difference between intelligent life and animals? Being experimented, enslaved, domesticated... That is the real fear of not being able to survive, not being able to die.

Yes, it is impossible to even want to die. If the other party wants you to live, you have to live. If they want you to die, you can die peacefully.

Just thinking about it like this, cold sweat unknowingly soaked through his clothes, it's too horrifying, really horrifying, this is the cruelest scene Zhang Ran has ever seen!

Much crueler than death.
