Chapter 832: Chapter 497: Infinite Associative Language, The Dryness of Infinite Statistics_1
Over the course of nearly three days, researchers conducted nurous experints involving the seven Compound Eye People.
The language used by the Compound Eye People was entirely different from that of humans, with information being transmitted via electromagnetic signals rather than complex sound waves perceptible to the human ear.
Yes, it was the once-familiar “5G” signal used by humans, which could transmit a vast amount of information within a short period of ti, including images, sounds, and even three-dinsional modeling and holographic imaging.
However, it would be inaccurate to call it machine data.
By the standards of humans in the past, it could not be considered a civilized language, but many old concepts have long been discarded since humans entered the cosmos.
Due to the unique mode of information transmission, the language of the Compound Eye People is much more complex than the simplified languages of Earthlings.
When transmitting information between different biological individuals, there must be a rapid translation process, changing the conceptual language into corresponding physical objects.
For example, when two people converse face-to-face.
One person asks the other, “What did you go out and buy just now?”
The other person replies, “Green apples.”
Although the questioner did not see the actual apples, the image of green apples naturally erges in their mind.
This is the translation of language.
Harrison Clark had encountered the Egyptian tribe’s writing before, which could also possibly be their language, a complex “QR code” containing a wealth of information.
When mbers of the Egyptian tribe see this “QR code,” their brains with quantum storms can quickly comprehend the information contained within it and transform it into their own understanding.
What the Compound Eye People transmitted through electromagnetic wave carriers could be regarded as either a re data package or a three-dinsional “3D code,” more complicated and accurate than the Egyptian tribe’s writing, with greater amounts of information.
Biologically speaking, the languages and writing systems of both the Egyptian tribe and the Compound Eye People are far more advanced than those of humans, transmitting much more accurate information within a given ti.
However, human language also has its advantages, as communication between two knowledgeable people can convey the greatest amount of information in the simplest language.
For example, when one person says to another, “infinite cube,” “Lagrange point,” or “Calabi-Yau space”…
Just a few words can convey a vast amount of information from one person’s mind to another’s.
Because the listener will actively summarize and analyze, locating corresponding points in their mory.
This is the truly infinite associative ability of quantum collapse thinking, and every story passed between them
even if the two people communicating are not in the sa ti or place, it is possible.
One person has been dead for thousands of years, and another person sees their thoughts left behind thousands of years later, the souls of these two different tis and spaces could still engage in deep communication.
For example, soone sees the phrase “Archides’ first law.”
The person’s mind suddenly becos enlightened.
Oh, this is the principle of levers.
People thousands of years later, through recorded text, learn new knowledge from ancient people, and it is not a rigid transmission, but rather an awakening within the hearts of those who co after.
Although human language and writing seem concise and simple, the amount of information they carry can be infinitely small and infinitely large.
The high efficiency of the Egyptian tribe’s and Compound Eye People’s language might have allowed their two civilizations to develop much earlier than the humans, but viewed from the present height, humans have taken the right path.
In just a thousand years, humanity has thrived far more in the Orion Arm than the Egyptian tribe, which serves as the strongest proof.
Nevertheless, the three-dinsional code structure language of the Compound Eye People has presented a great challenge to the translation team led by Idrisi, even with Star’s assistance, and the difficulty of communication has been trendous.
Moreover, the Fly Eye People might be deliberately uncooperative by constructing chaotic information to confuse and disrupt human judgnt.
They almost succeeded, but the top-level expertise in both psychology and linguistics of Idrisi managed to crack their tactics.
He first identified the “master” who took the leading role among the seven clones.
The seven Compound-Eyed Observers appeared identical, which served as the “master’s” disguise for self-preservation.
But when faced with the sa tests, one individual displayed slightly more ntal variability than the other six.
The difference was subtle, nearly negligible during a single test, but as the test samples continued to expand and the paraters collected increased, Idrisi personally summarized and applied statistical theory to the extre, magnifying even the slightest differences to perceptible levels.
The “master’s” disguise was torn apart.
The higher-ranking individual who could initiate voting instructions to other Compound Eye People was identified.
Only now did the real interrogation begin.
The previous process could not be called an interrogation, but rather biological experints, in which anatomists (chefs), biologists, and dical scientists were the protagonists.
The experints had caused considerable panic among the Compound Eye People.
Precise instrunts disassembled their carapaces piece by piece, ultra-thin nanomaterial cutting blades tore through their chanical tissues inch by inch, and analysis that involved the dissection of individual cells.
However, with Star’s assistance in providing Compound Eye dical treatnts, humans refrained from killing the Compound Eye People, only studying them repeatedly and even attempting to clone an eighth individual.
In three days, humans had studied the physiological structure of the Compound Eye People extensively, and now that the true leader had been identified, it was ti to investigate their cultural history.
Previous tests had shown that the secondary clones had little valuable information in their minds, if there was anyone with more knowledge about the history and other information of the Compound Eye People, it could only be the “master” level Fly Eye Person.
In a small room, Idrisi sat with an air of solemnity.
He was resting with his eyes closed, his mind churning the enormous amount of information he had captured step by step over the past few days.He was attempting to create a new discipline – compound-eye psychology.
Idrisi was accompanied by a male and a female, who were entomologists and interrogation experts, respectively.
The door opened, and two soldiers followed the cart carrying the restrained compound-eye person into the room.
As for Harrison Clark, he was in another room watching a video at this ti.
He was watching and grumbling at the sa ti.
“What the hell is this stuff? Why isn’t there anything with substance in it?”
He was really impressed.
In the Prism Ship’s databanks, most of the information was stored in holographic video format.
Even the instructions for opening the container holding Needham Brown’s head were in holographic video format; there were no written manuals.
As for scientific treatises, technical manuals, and textual historical materials, there were none at all.
Harrison Clark had seen the plans for the snake-shaped Stargate’s construction, and it was very hardcore.
The video demonstrated the following procedure.
First, mix A-worm and B-worm together and place them in a large Petri dish #1 for mass reproduction. Then, kill all A-worms and B-worms with plasma instantaneously.
Next, transfer the corpses to Petri dish #2 and introduce the infinitely multiplying C-worm. By consuming the corpses of A-worms and B-worms according to a specific ratio, C-worm will eventually grow into a snake-shaped Stargate.
Super simple and brute-forced, emphasizing pragmatism, the process made Harrison Clark and the other technicians break out in a cold sweat.
What are A-worm and B-worm? They didn’t know.
Where do A, B, and C-worm co from?
To recreate the snake-shaped Stargate, simply repeat the almost sa process, directly incubating them with a similarly hardcore theory.
About a dozen different combinations of raw materials were used to create these three types of worms.
The sa applied to the pre-production stages and pre-pre-production stages for each raw material.
Take the Blade-Mantis, for example; using a similar approach, different worms are bred in different living environnts and then injected into the Compound-Eyed Observer’s body to create the final product.
In the final step, freezing the hair follicles of the Long Whiskers played a crucial role.
A technician succinctly sumd it up.
“This isn’t scientific research at all, it’s just a continuous series of tests and combinations. They use whatever is available. If the combination happens to be successful and tested, it’s considered okay. No one cares about the underlying principles. Damn it, one of the steps involves using those Star-shattering Cannons, and we don’t have any.”
The technology tree of the compound-eye tribe completely subverted the human understanding of science, with no reference value at all.
Harrison Clark could only put his hopes on Idrisi for the ti being.
However, he quickly received a sorrowful conclusion from the crestfallen Idrisi.
The interrogation was a total failure.
Idrisi could not determine whether the Compound-Eyed Observer was genuinely obstinate or simply lacked any information about human history in his brain.
“Their brains are large, but their mory capacity is limited. They will constantly overwrite old mories with new ones, with a maximum preservation period of just 130 years. They don’t care about the past of their own civilization.”
“In their culture, history may not matter at all. They don’t need culture; they only care about the present. When facing problems, they experint with combinations until the problem is solved. That is their entire culture. As for their fear and dread of us, it’s not an emotional change, but an innate hostility.”
“I tried ‘greeting’ their ancestors, but they didn’t react at all.”
Harrison Clark: “Huh? Greeting?”
Idrisi, “I just swear or provoke them however I want. I even pulled out ancient curse books to use on them, but they didn’t react at all. If I didn’t know they were a powerful civilization, I would have thought they were emotionless robots.”
Harrison Clark rubbed his forehead, “Are you sure the compound-eye people don’t have emotions? What about the way they look at us?”
Idrisi: “I’m sure. In their understanding, they are antivirus software, and humans are computer viruses. Antivirus software kills viruses, but that doesn’t an the software gets angry when a virus appears.”
Harrison Clark pondered for a mont, then laughed.
He shrugged and patted Idrisi’s shoulder in consolation, “Don’t be discouraged; this was all within my expectations.”
“Ah, thanks for the consolation, philosopher. I know, but I can’t control myself.”
Harrison Clark suddenly burst into laughter, “Well, then, you can go ahead and be discouraged. We’re human, after all, and we have emotions and desires that ebb and flow. Your current loss and disappointnt make us unique. It seems like we’ve gained nothing, but the absence of gains is also our greatest gain. I have even more confidence in humanity’s future now.”
Idrisi: “Why?”
Harrison Clark retorted, “We’ve studied many biological civilizations in the Orion Arm. Have you ever seen a life form as strongly influenced by emotions as humans?”
Harrison Clark wasn’t just making things up; he had been to many places and could now be considered a high-level scholar in cosmology.
Even the more professional Idrisi shook his head decisively, “No.”
“Isn’t that the point?”
After saying that, Harrison Clark turned and looked at the projection behind him.
Three days had passed, and the Prism Ship was getting closer and closer to the rcury prism battleship.
He seed to be muttering to himself, but also seed to be talking to Idrisi, “The deeper my understanding of the universe becos, the more I realize how precious emotions are as a cosmic gift.”
