Chapter 311 Projection
"This void is indeed filled with many strange creatures."
“Although unpredictable places are also very interesting, the biodiversity may not be as diverse.”
The world of the cognizers, that's what Sharin calls it now.
Sharin came in as she thought it was fun here. Now she is sitting on top of a tall building with Sharin's Veronica, watching the sunlight pouring down from the sky.
There is no sun in the world of the cognizers, perhaps because the Ershi people of this era know very little about the sun.
But they do know something about sunlight, so there is a strange phenomenon that sunlight exists in this world but there is no sun.
These lights seem to emerge out of nowhere from the sky and continuously shine on the ground, so the plants here can grow.
There are many other strange features here. Generally speaking, as long as it is within the cognition of normal void creatures, it may appear here.
"There are almost no creatures outside the 'rules' in the Unpredictable Land." Sharin said, shielding the sunlight in the sky with her hands, "But here, many creatures try to evade the rules and create their own rules..."
"But are these creatures, who are trying to create their own rules, also living under another set of rules?"
"What exactly are the rules?" Sharin said, "Generally speaking, they are things that cannot be done in the void, but why? Do you often have such questions?"
"Occasionally," Lin replied.
"I think..." Sharin smiled and said, "Ersh's goal should be to find them, to find these monsters hiding in the deep space. Maybe there is no special reason, he just wants to get to know them, out of pure curiosity... Only this emotion will last forever."
"But it probably didn't come here out of curiosity." Sharin pointed into the distance.
I saw a black object flying over there quickly. It looked like the "battleship" sent in by Mid Void before, but it was only a small piece, only a few dozen meters in size.
"It's probably carrying out ecological infection." Sharin said, "Just like what it did to the chaotic space."
Lin said: "Ecological infection?"
"It distorted this place to some extent, and then caused this place to give birth to its own creatures." Sharin said: "These 'infected' voids will eventually give birth to... Mid Void species."
"Maybe it's because of the characteristics of the chaotic space. The speed of change there is quite fast. It's probably not that fast here, but I want to know more about how the creator here will react. And why did it create this place? Is it just for fun? Or is it for its own ecology? But in any case, it's pretty strong."
That's true.
Lin also thinks so. In short, this space constructed by cognition is related to the cognitive doomsday mentioned by Ersh before.
Its goal may be to distort the cognition of a large number of creatures, of course not just the Ershi people, but also various civilized creatures.
So a certain civilization in the past created something called Star Silence, allowing all civilizations to enter a virtual world of complete enjoyment, so that they completely closed off their knowledge of the outside world.
But in fact it is not completely closed, because many civilized species enter the virtual world by stimulating the body's senses, and then transmit the perception to the mind. In the final analysis, they are still perceiving the outside world through the senses. Even if the information is transmitted directly to the brain, it can be said that they are perceiving the outside world with the senses... Just treat the brain as a sense organ.
Things like senses are defined by living things themselves.
And 'cognitive doomsday' also has a definition.
Generally speaking, it refers to the normal void things perceived by a living being through non-neural senses...such as the hearing, smell, and vision of the Ershi people.
Although the virtual games and other things created by Ershimin are also normal and empty things, the content of the games will not appear here, even if Ershimin completely believes in his mind that the virtual game content in front of him is real.
However, devices that can play virtual games will be recognized.
In short, cognitive doomsday may not like different creatures having different cognitions of the void, so it wants to forcibly distort them into exactly the same cognition. A long time ago, it targeted many civilizations.
These civilizations avoided it through closed virtual enjoyment, but they all perished as a result.
Finally, cognitive doomsday appeared in the Chaos Battleship. This seemed to be because the people of Ershi here were unable to fully enjoy the virtual game due to various influences.
Just based on the diary of the Ershi people, it seems that cognitive doomsday began to affect the Ershi people before they collectively went underground.
Lin didn't notice it at that time. After all, Lin was not monitoring every individual Ershi people.
It combines the world known by the Ershi people and some cetaceans, primates and other creatures with higher intelligence into an incomplete Ershi and incomplete sunlight. Perhaps there are also incomplete parts of the tumblers in other galaxies floating in the surrounding void, but they cannot be seen on the surface.
The most amazing thing is that these incomplete things are maintained in a very stable state. There is no continuous sunlight like solar energy, and there is no center of the earth but there is normal gravity.
As for how big this space is, it is not clear.
Because it is not so convenient for Lin to move around here, and the same goes for Sharin.
Lin here is not made up of cells, but something like an "energy ball", a bit like a "body" in an unpredictable place. Although it can change its shape, it cannot split, and the split parts will disappear.
However, some of Lin's soldiers that came into contact with the entrance did not enter, but stayed at a certain location.
Sharin said that Lin and its body here are something like a projection of consciousness.
Those Ershi people who came here are real cell structures, which means they came in directly.
This is also what Sharin thinks is powerful about cognitive doomsday. It distinguishes and isolates creatures like Lin and Sharin.
However, there is no way to completely isolate it. If Lin must try to come in, she can generate a "projection" here.
But what the projection can do is very limited. Before Lin can directly bring in troops, the impact it can have here is very small.
The same is true for the battleship in the Mid Void. Sharin believes that the battleship that came in was also a projection, but it was larger and may have used some special method.
Of course, only by catching it can we confirm what is going on.
Sharin thought that she could use the resources here to build something to take it down.
