Chapter 944: Chapter 580: The History of Fish_1
Harrison Clark looked around, only to see an endless ocean stretching out before him.
The color of the seawater was different from the azure blue on Earth, appearing neon green.
The visibility wasn’t high.
If it were a human’s eyes, he could only see things within five ters.
But now it was a virtual world, and Harrison could rely on the correlation of quantum information to see billions of miles away with a single glance.
He soon realized that this was not a simple ocean.
He was at the surface of a massive liquid sphere.
The diater of the sphere exceeded 300,000 kiloters.
Undoubtedly, this was a liquid planet, composed of water and countless minerals dissolved in it.
Due to gravity, the density of the water should increase in a continuous gradient from the surface inward.
Inside the planet floated dozens of huge suspended objects at varying heights.
There were also countless smaller floating objects.
Of course, by “small,” their diaters ranged from a few thousand kiloters to tens of kiloters.
This was the “howorld” of the fish.
Harrison temporarily nad it Fish Star.
The liquid inside Fish Star was, naturally, the sky for the fish.
Those big and small floating objects were the “continents” where the fish lived.
Harrison had once seen a liquid planet with a diater of exactly 300,000 kiloters among the nurous slave planets sealed near the Galactic Center.
At that ti, he had only caught a fleeting glimpse and moved on, not expecting to actually interact with them in this tiline.
He had a good start, determining the origin of the fish with just the first step.
Harrison did not attempt to find the other party’s consciousness from here.
Because what he saw in the virtual world was already a statent from the other party.
The alien said that the fish language was pure quantum random entanglent, which could contain massive information in a very small fragnt.
This simulated howorld environnt was just part of that massive information.
As for the more obvious and straightforward aning behind this statent, it was up to Harrison to discover it himself.
His purpose in coming here was to be an interpreter.
Harrison carefully recalled that in the Fish Star’s he’s seen, aquatic intelligent life was actually a broad category.
There were many sub-divided races under this category.
Due to differences in water flow environnt, density and other factors, the “fish” living on floating continents at different heights had vast differences.
Even on so larger floating continents, up to dozens of sub-divided races were born according to different layers from top to bottom.
The differences between these sub-divided races in terms of living habits, physical appearance, and other aspects are huge, even to the point of reproductive isolation.
But amazingly, all of the sub-divided races recognized their identity as Fish Star People, and they were very harmonious in thought and ideology.
During Harrison’s fleeting glimpse back then, he had obtained such gigantic information that, when he compared it with his current situation, he discovered sothing strange.
In the previous tiline, there was no such species of Fish Star People.
The Fish Star warriors encountered by humans this ti could physically cross the universe, use curvature flight, possess jump capabilities, and release super-high energy, all of which were completely illogical.
So Fish Star People living in the extre high-temperature and high-pressure environnt near the center of the star had very special abilities, but they could never reach the level of Fish Star warriors.
Moreover, the Fish Star warrior’s traveling form looked like a shallow-water species, no different from large fish like dolphins, whales, or sharks on Earth, but its abilities were obviously capable of soaring through the vacuum of space, and it could effortlessly traverse the Fish Star’s interior.
There are nurous contradictions between the two, proving that they are not the product of natural evolution.
Even if the Fish Star People have existed for a long ti and evolved, theoretically they cannot completely break away from their external environnt at the ti of their birth and evolve from an underwater species into a space species.
In the previous tiline, Harrison had undergone intensive learning.
In this tiline, human scholars had also conducted a large amount of research in astrobiology, and now Harrison had a vast amount of knowledge in cosmology.
The more knowledge he had, the more he knew what was possible and what was not possible in the universe.
The appearance of the Fish Star warriors defied the basic rules of the universe, just like humans wearing their bio-gear.
When humans beca equipped with bio-gear, they changed from one species to another, and so did the fish.
Harrison was getting closer and closer to the truth he wanted.
If he wanted to help the Voyager Star Galaxy defeat their enemies, he would have to unravel the mystery of their ultra-fast mobility, fog release, and special weapons, so he first had to figure out what changes had taken place on these Fish Stars, whether they used the sa equipnt technology as humans, or so other unknown technology.
Like a doctor diagnosing a patient, he needed to find the root of the problem to prescribe the appropriate redy.His consciousness began to wander freely in this liquid world, seeking more information.
If it were up to him alone, decoding the vast information within the other party’s “language” would take a lot of effort.
Fortunately, he had the support of Star’s computing power, as well as nurous human mathematicians and linguists who, under Star’s arrangent, provided him with auxiliary decoding capabilities from the rear.
At this mont, Harrison Clark casually observed, his eyes capturing information that was being transmitted outward through resonating signals.
The essence of his brain’s cognitive signals was his Thought Quantum Storm.
Now that he had lost his body, his gene awakening level could no longer be asured, but without a doubt, the complexity of his Thought Quantum Storm far exceeded the limits of ordinary humans.
In order to translate the Fish Star People’s language through Harrison Clark, it was necessary to capture the information contained in the Thought Storm with absolute accuracy — such precision required at least several decimal places higher than usual in synchronization, comparable to point-to-point personality replication.
With the technology currently available to humans, such accurate signal capture was originally impossible.
Yet, it was rather peculiar that the preparations Harrison Clark had made himself beforehand played a significant role at this ti.
Star had established his first information channel in the traditional Quantum Network, while the Thought Resonance from T100’s side had beco a second reference channel for data comparison.
As the technicians outside read the information, they would simultaneously receive the sa pieces of information through both channels, then cross-reference and compare them to increase accuracy as much as possible.
At first, the technicians outside were all baffled when confronted with the vast expanse of information, only obtaining partial inferential data from Harrison Clark’s descriptions of Slave Star brought back from the previous tiline.
However, 37 seconds after the synchronization began, the Solar System Earth Biology departnt put forward a crucial conclusion.
They believed that the language of the Fish was “stackable.”
The definition of a stackable language is as follows:
Races with peculiar mory traits communicate with each other using continuous overlapping languages when interacting.
Assu that this intelligent race has a pair of Ancestors who first gave birth to wisdom.
The first sentence when the two wise Ancestors t has only one word, “you.”
The second sentence becos “hello.”
As their communication continued, each sentence said between them consisted of adding a word to the previous sentence.
From the human perspective, perhaps when the two “people” casually chatted, their sentences beca so long that they were beyond human imagination.
Moreover, the mories of races using stackable languages are passed down to the next generation along with epigenetic information.
When the next generation communicates, their conversations start by stacking up on the information passed down from the previous generation, continuing until the information reaches an “infinitely large” number.
This may seem incredible, but there are living examples on Earth.
Humans once had a misconception that loved to ridicule soone’s poor mory by claiming, “a fish’s mory lasts only seven seconds.”
But in fact, this statent is completely wrong.
Not only does a fish’s mory last a long ti, but it can also be transmitted to the next generation.
For example, ornantal fish in scenic areas know instinctively from birth, even without being taught, to swim to the surface when a person approaches, anticipating food being thrown.
Similarly, fish instinctively know which areas are danger zones and which are relatively safe to hide from predators as soon as they are born.
From a purely Earth-based scientific standpoint, the way DNA carries mory is not mystical at all but rely a shallow thylation modification, aning that a specific thyl group is covalently bound to a nucleotide without changing the DNA sequence through the modification of a specific enzy.
When different thyl groups combine, they form a vast amount of information that can be passed on to the next generation, manifesting in language as stackable languages.
Because of this, the astrobiologists of the Earth Biological Departnt thought that the Fish Star People used stackable languages.
Of course, Earth’s fish have not mastered stackable languages, as language is itself one of the symbols of intelligent species.
The opponent, as an intelligent species, has a level of information and complexity in their language far beyond that of ordinary fish on Earth.
The reason why the Fish Star People can maintain unity despite exhibiting a diverse range of species differentiation is precisely because, regardless of the height of the floating continents or the physical characteristics and special abilities of the Fish Star People, their earliest Ancestors who first achieved wisdom belonged to the sa race, only differing in form and genetic sequence as a result of environntal changes during migration.
However, the language of all races can be traced back to the sa pair of Ancestors.
Ultimately, reproductive isolation did not lead to the complete division of the Fish Star People.
So, what Harrison Clark was now looking at in this “phrase” represented the entire history of the Fish Star People from their birth to their presence on the battlefield of the Voyager Galaxy.
This sentence is a living, comprehensive history book, narrating the entire history of a great civilization from birth, growth, and eventual enslavent.
When Harrison Clark talked to this fish, it was as if he was conversing with the entire history of the other civilization.
Now that it was clear that the other party’s information was historical, the subsequent analysis beca much simpler.
Harrison Clark expanded his search scope, and indeed encountered many virtual fishes of different generations.
So fish’s forms and external environnts seed incompatible.
For example, it was strange to see a species clearly more suited for cold environnts thriving in a high-temperature floating continent that frequently spewed volcanic magma.
These dislocated species were Fish Star People who had existed during a certain stage in history but were eliminated during evolution due to environntal changes on floating continents.
In certain fixed areas, the environnt was constantly changing. Harrison Clark noticed that at tis, when his attention was focused on a particular area, a strong magnetic field would be replaced by an electrified continent in the very next second.
Countless fragnted and intricate pieces of information were incessantly captured, collected, and transmitted by him to be pieced together by those outside and Star into an epic historical record.
