Chapter 151 The technological revolution triggered by the digestion model

There are many phenomena in the universe, some of which are very conspicuous, while others are hidden and need to be stimulated.

In Yan Xia's view, life is a complex technology created by the universe, and then life is used to stimulate those hidden phenomena.

For example, photosynthesis, and the use of gas and energy substances in organisms, not only consumption, but also the use of some material elements to produce chemical substances. All these things show the magic of organisms.

This is also the reason why Yan Xia studies organisms.

The news that Yan Xia received showed that there was a kind of organism that uses energy. This organism has only primary intelligence, which is almost like a 10-year-old human child.

It looks like a chestnut ball, but it is white. After removing the hair, it looks a bit unsightly, like some beetle larvae, but the thoracic legs are very slender and sharp. That is their weapon, holding the prey tightly and then killing them. Their whole body is not structured like an insect, but more like a mammal, mainly muscle.

All creatures on Earth come from the same school, so they basically have striated muscles, but this creature is different. It has block muscles, and all the muscle structures are like pearl necklaces, where pearls are muscles and chains are tendon-like structures.

The muscles under this structure are very strong, allowing them to prey on larger prey.

However, these are not its real strengths. Its strength lies in its digestion mode.

The general digestion mode is to use the stomach or similar organs to extract the absorbable substances in the food, and then convert them into energy by the cells, and the remaining inabsorbable parts are turned into waste and discharged.

This creature eats food into the body, absorbs all of it as energy, and then selects the absorbable energy, and converts the inabsorbable energy into material waste and discharges it.

This mode with a very low absorption rate is nothing to ordinary citizens, but it touched some inspirations of Yan Xia.

At the physical level, energy and matter can be converted into each other.

For example, the string itself is not matter, but energy. It forms different elementary particles through different forms of vibration, and these elementary particles are matter.

So matter and energy are one and the same. The string is matter when it moves, but it is not matter itself. This is not a conflict.

Yan Xia thought of something from the digestion pattern of these white chestnut balls.

Since they are already a Level 2 civilization and have explored the basic energy level of strings, why can't they split matter into energy first and then convert energy into matter?

Some people may say that this idea is very similar to quantum teleportation, but quantum teleportation is actually the transmission of quantum states, and it does not transmit any matter or energy.

That's why it is said that it cannot travel faster than the speed of light.

Yan Xia's idea is somewhat similar to the quantum teleportation that the public believes, except that the quantum state needs to be converted into energy or information.

After matter is converted into energy, it is not restricted by mass, which means it can move at the speed of light.

Of course, the issue of energy carrier must also be considered here.

Energy needs matter as a carrier to be transmitted. Pure energy cannot move, so in quantum mechanics, there are elementary particles that transmit interaction forces.

This is actually not difficult to find. Photons can carry information.

Everything is within a very reasonable range. Such an idea should not be discovered only now. In fact, many scholars or non-scholars have such an idea, but how to convert matter into energy or information?

How to convert energy into the original matter?

These are all difficult points.

And this goes back to [Colonial Clone].

Why can [Colonial Clone] achieve the same consciousness? Although the Civilization Federation created it, it has not yet solved this problem.

And now Yan Xia thought, maybe there is not a material exchange between the main body and the clone, but an energy exchange. Energy is information, which allows them to be controlled by the same brain.

This is different from the control of the brain worm. The brain worm simply transmits information to the basic unit of the Zerg, just like making a phone call, and the basic unit of the Zerg actually controls its own body after receiving the command.

[Colonial Clone] only provides one aspect of inspiration. It is still very different from the material energy conversion that Yan Xia came up with. It is a pure energy exchange without involving matter.

However, through 22 years of research, Yan Xia still indirectly solved a problem that has troubled him for tens of thousands of years, that is, consciousness uploading.

Consciousness uploading itself is the transmission of information, but the original consciousness uploading can almost be regarded as information simulation, so the original consciousness after uploading is not the original him.

Yan Xia has created a new consciousness uploading machine, which can condense the original biological consciousness information into a transistor. As long as this transistor is installed, he is himself.

Of course, if the transistor is damaged, he will no longer be himself.

A rough understanding is that the transistor is like a brain removed from the human body. The so-called consciousness uploading is to connect this brain to a computer. Only in this way can the original person be the original person.

If the brain is damaged, the computer will start to simulate the brain's signal to maintain the existence of that person, but he himself has become simulated information, so he is not the original person at all.

This technology is just a by-product.

The real research and development has just begun.

Yan Xia began to destroy and reorganize the matter itself. He found that every destruction and reorganization would cause a slight change in the matter itself. This change exists below the Planck scale. The position of some strings that constitute the basic elements will shift and the movement mode will change.

At first, Yan Xia thought that these were nothing, but after research, he found that the changes in these strings may lead to incomplete information.

Incomplete information at a micro level may trigger a butterfly effect, causing deviations at a macro level, making this conversion invalid.

For example, in a certain conversion, a pure iron metal block will be found to have some impurities in the pure iron element when it is converted into energy and then converted into matter again.

This is of course nothing at a more macro level, but if it is a fine structure, such as a high-precision device (quark robot), it will be damaged as a result. For example, life may still be the original self, but it will become unlike the original self.

Yan Xia did a lot of experiments in the simulated universe and finally completed the first stage of success after 246 years.

That is, the light speed battleship.
