Chapter 275 Residents

They have lived here for a long time.

Their original appearance was very similar to that of the Ershi people, and they lived an ordinary life similar to that of the Ershi people.

But they are developing in somewhat different directions.

They are primarily developing... transformation technology.

That is to say, modify the nuclear information of your own body to transform your own body.

Because they have a stronger desire for knowledge than the Ershi people outside, they always want to explore various unknown mysteries.

They quickly explored the world they were in, and then they began to explore the void.

What is more special is that the void outside is pitch black to them.

They couldn't see what was in the void, and they couldn't see anything using various observation instruments.

At that time, they did not have the technology to fly into the void, but they were eager to understand the void, so they used many methods.

At some point they stumbled upon a discovery that they saw some...spots of light appearing in the void around them.

This is also something that only a few of them can see.

These individuals all have one characteristic, which is that they have made some modifications to their brains, mainly to improve their memory and the like.

However, they found that this transformation allowed them to see the appearance of some different things in the void.

So they quickly came to a conclusion that perhaps their brains were not complex enough to analyze the scenery outside.

Because they are well versed in transformation science, they know that what living things see will vary greatly depending on the analytical ability of the brain.

Generally speaking, the more complex the brain and sensory organs of a creature, the more complex the scenery it can see.

So they began to study body modification carefully, and as their technology improved, they could see more and more things.

Their void was no longer pitch black, but became more and more brilliant, just like the starry sky.

However, as their transformation technology improved, some strange events gradually began to occur.

Some of them started to go crazy.

The reason seems to be that the brain has been modified to be too powerful, resulting in seeing incredible things.

At first there were only a few crazy people, but their number soon increased.

Although they know they will go crazy in the end, many of them still keep trying to strengthen their brain's analytical ability, simply because... they are curious about what those crazy people saw in the end.

Individuals who don't go crazy as quickly can often be heard saying that they have seen something incredible.

Although they all went crazy in the end, those who were not crazy still wanted to know very much what these crazy people saw.

Then, a large number of crazy people continued to appear.

Because these complex brain modifications can only be done by high-level wealthy individuals, and because they are becoming less and less likely to die from madness, this allows those middle and lower-level individuals to "climb" to the original high-level positions in large numbers.

In addition to enjoying the life they did not have before, a large number of these lower-class individuals who have climbed up have also begun to become interested in what the madmen have seen.

Then they also tried to transform themselves so that they could see the crazy things in the void.

Although they kept going crazy and dying, those who didn't go crazy always wanted to know what they had seen.

It seems that no matter how many of them die, this idea will not disappear.

Then, the number of their entire population became smaller and smaller, and finally the small group that was left finally woke up.

They believe that their strong desire for knowledge is the reason for the collapse of their population.

At first they destroyed all the technical data of the transformation, but they also felt that this was not enough.

Because as long as they have a desire to learn, they will study it again.

So they began to transform their bodies, trying to get rid of this strong idea.

Finally, by constantly modifying their bodies, they have been able to modify most of their emotions.

But the desire for knowledge has never changed, and crazy people keep appearing.

Then they transformed themselves even more... crazily, and finally they figured out a way to transfer all their thoughts and memories to machines.

Then they became what Lin sees now.

Now this group of creatures have completely replaced part of their own cells and have become purely...mechanical creatures.

However, their strong desire for knowledge has not stopped, and they will still try to see the chaos outside.

Just because they have turned into machines, they no longer have to worry about genocide. It is much easier to create new mechanical offspring than flesh and blood offspring.

But they also try to suppress their curiosity, and they do this mainly by making life difficult.

They find that when they have most of their needs in life met, their thirst for knowledge flourishes.

On the contrary, if life is difficult, their focus will be mainly on staying alive.

Therefore, they try to lower their living standards as much as possible and put themselves in a state where they always want a lot of things.

This way, the desire to see chaos is relatively reduced, but these creatures also live a... very painful life.

Of course, all this was done by Ersh.

Ersh came here before, and in this place full of chaos, it found some safe spots.

That is, there are some spherical safe areas that separate the chaos like huge bubbles.

Then Ersh put these creatures in it.

Ordinary creatures cannot directly access the chaotic information outside, and they may die just by looking at it.

So, Ersh changed the analytical function of their brains, making these creatures' brains display the chaos outside as darkness.

But at the same time, Ersh also gave these creatures the relevant knowledge of nuclear information transformation, which allowed them to slowly change their brains, and through this, make the chaos outside become "visualized" little by little.

At that time, Ersh wanted to let these creatures slowly come into contact with chaos and try it out, and this was indeed successful.

During the long process of development, they gradually came into contact with the chaotic things outside, and through continuous transformation, they saw the true face beneath the darkness.

In fact, they did not see the whole truth, and those who went crazy and died only saw a small part of it.

But this also made them unbearable.

It's just that the strong curiosity for knowledge that Ersh "endowed" them made them always want to see clearly.

Then, this group of creatures kept trying, but no matter how long it took, they could not adapt to the chaos.

In addition, they also encountered some 'chaotic creatures'.

Throughout their long history, there are some records of chaotic creatures.

These organisms themselves are not chaotic, which means that their forms can be directly and stably observed.

It's just quite dangerous.
