Chapter 40 Memories in the Dream
There are green lands, vast oceans, and... a map.
A huge map blocked the sky, Lin was observing the changes on it, and saw that except for a green trace in the center, the rest of the map was completely white.
The white color symbolizes the area covered by the cold, which has not changed at all over the years. If the map is continuously enlarged, Lin can see the dinosaur continent in the distance, as well as the ocean between the two continents.
The world has been completely frozen into a block of ice.
Thinking about it, Lin closed the map, and then looked at the land below. At a higher place, the land seemed to be a whole piece, but if you got closer, you could see that the land was divided into many areas.
In each area, there are a large number of vines, which grow together and form square green houses.
As long as the doors of these houses are opened, some scenes can be seen in the houses made of vines.
The scene inside is ever-changing, there are dinosaurs, there are scenery, or other creatures, and in each area there is a dragon or emerald dragon, and they are opening these vine houses one by one in order.
After seeing the scene inside, they are sometimes sad, sometimes happy, the mood of these dragons and the scene inside are generally constantly changing...
Actually these are their memories.
This is a special dream that Lin has come up with recently. When the skeleton dragon or the emerald dragon is old, they can choose to come to this special area when they enter the dream. Because Lin found that the old dragons liked to recall the past, and always talked about how they were when they were young. Whether it is happiness or pain, I like to mention it.
So Lin allows them to see the past in their dreams. Each house made up of vines represents their age. From the initial life to the present, they can see their own experiences completely.
This has caused many dragons to be immersed in their past memories. Some of them look at the past in the room and it looks like a day and night. However, because dreams are limited by time, they will not stay here. too long.
But all this is very precious to these dragons. Whether it's a skeleton dragon or an emerald dragon, they all believe that they can't take anything with them after they die, but until they are reborn as an egg, the memory is always preserved,
While they were watching their own experiences, Lin was also observing the brains of these dragons...
Every time these dragons see some memory that evokes a certain emotion in them. The activities of their memory areas will be particularly active, and if you observe these areas, you can see the changes in various material information inside.
Studying this, it may be possible to realize the previous plan.
...is it really possible?
What Lin wants to do is to let the skeleton dragon enter the 'Pompom Realm', which is still the case after it dies, but there must be a premise for all of this, that is, the 'soul' they think is real.
Now Lin thinks if there is a soul. In this case, it should be that the brainwaves can still be maintained without being separated from themselves. This kind of brainwaves have the thinking ability of ordinary creatures...
But this kind of thing seems unlikely, because biological thoughts are mainly maintained by brain cell activity and a large number of secretions inside, and brain waves are only one of the things that are generated when brain cells are active.
Just like the blood of living things, living things depend on blood to live. But blood cannot appear alone, and the same should be true of brain waves. Brain waves alone cannot form thoughts.
However, Lynn would never completely deny a thing without testing it.
So...how to try it? Is it possible to extract brainwaves individually?
Skeleton dragons don't have a specific structure for releasing brain waves, and Lin doesn't know what kind of brain waves are considered to be the kind of brain waves that have thoughts in the soul.
This is a very complicated question, so let's just do an experiment to see if they have souls.
Now, Lin is watching a corpse dragon, this corpse dragon is quietly staying in front of a vine house, looking at the scenery inside, its thoughts are constantly changing...
This skeleton dragon was about to die. It looked at the things it used to care about very much. The contents of the room showed that they accidentally fell into a dinosaur 'trap' while hunting, and then the entire team was wiped out.
It seems to be very concerned about this matter, and after that, the dragons also adapted this matter into a story to teach future generations.
Although the skeleton dragons have no concept of deception, they are still very familiar with "deception". Even if the same kind will not deceive themselves, other creatures in the jungle will. Some smarter dinosaurs will set traps, and even even Plants cheat.
In this environment, they have to be very careful, but the dragons have never tried to imitate these deceptions and use them on their own kind, which feels very good.
For the white skeleton dragon, this is very difficult to do.
Lin previously selected some peace-loving white skeleton dragons to an island. Although the world is now frozen, Lin also built a space like the canyon here for them. Although they can unite and get along peacefully, Lin found that After they give birth, the offspring that appear are problematic, and some pups begin to mutilate their peers at a very young age.
It seems that a group of peaceful individuals needs to be continuously reproduced for many generations to improve, and for those individuals who will be hostile to the same kind, it should be better to pick them out.
Because they are the last White Skeleton Dragons, they shouldn't be like they used to be...
While Lin was thinking about it, the old skeleton dragon below began to become weaker and weaker, and death was very close to it. If you looked at the map, its organs were slowly stopping.
Lin's map in the dream state can not only see two continents, but also some very small environments, such as the internal changes of this skeleton dragon, Lin can see that every organ in its body is beginning to turn red.
The white in the map means the change of brain waves, which originally expanded on the nerve lines of the whole body, but now slowly shrinks and retreats to the position of the head.
If there is a soul, it may be seen here. There are indeed some strange luminous phenomena similar to brain waves in the cemetery, but I don’t know if it has anything to do with this. If it does, Lin should be able to see that the white area inside will slow down Slowly get out of this dragon's body, and then move outside.
Even a small amount of Lin can see it.
but……
Lin found that the white area in the dragon's brain was also slowly disappearing. The process was very slow, but she didn't see any signs of white trying to escape...
At the end, only a little bit of the white part remained, scattered around the brain, and then little by little...disappeared...
And the skeleton dragon in the dream, its figure also faded and disappeared like its brain waves.
Lin switched the map to the other side, showing the appearance of a skeleton dragon, and indeed no brainwaves flew out from the body of the skeleton dragon. Lin used the dream brain to detect the brainwaves. If it was replaced with colored eyes, It can indeed see a lot of light, but there is a lot of light around, and no light is flying out of it.
But maybe it's an individual issue? After all, the amount of light that Lin saw in the cemetery was not equal to that of the corpse, and generally there was a big difference.
Lin plans to continue to try it out, and this time she will try the Jade Dragon.
Most of the young dragons that have survived are now very old, so Lin has a lot of 'experiments', and if there are members who continue to die, it will also help the environmental cycle here.
But recently, Jade Dragon seems to want to use something called a 'coffin' made of stone to hold the corpse instead of simply burying it, but it can't be decomposed quickly in it, so it was stopped.
Lin soon discovered an emerald dragon that was very old and immersed in memories, they can now also enter the dream, although Susumi did not advertise about the pom poms, but it established some statues in the palace , which made the Emerald Dragons guess, and some Emerald Dragons also began to worship the pom-pom, as did the descendants of Susumi and Mukla.
They call the offspring of a king a prince, but both males and females call this.
Lin also tried to let the gnomes enter the dream, but they didn't seem to be particularly interested.
Now, the old emerald dragon that Lin is looking at is not looking at the memories of the past, but the various things that have recently lived in the canyon, and its life is slowly losing...
Just like before, Lin watched its life continue until it stopped moving, and the brain waves slowly disappeared. No brain waves came out of the brain, and there was no such thing as a soul...
It seems that the dragon can't do it either.
Then Lin continued to observe the changes of some nearby skeleton dragons and emerald dragons. Most of them were the same, and the brain waves could not leave the body.
However, Lin still saw that some of the dragon's brain waves were separated from the body, but not as one piece as the skeleton dragons imagined, and they still maintained the shape of their lives... Lin saw some brain waves scattered and scattered. , and only a very small amount, quickly disappeared in the air.
This doesn't look like a soul...
In this way, Lin still has to continue to test the next method, which is to completely extract the brain waves of a dragon.
Now these dragons seem to be in a dream, but everything about them is presented by their own brains. What the dream brains do is input the dream world created by themselves into their brains, and their brains read this information and then presented.
What if their brainwaves were forcibly drawn out of their brains?
The soul does not know, the only thing Lin can confirm is that if it is unsuccessful, the creature that draws out the brain waves will definitely die. To be continued.
