"Music and the Ti Mover can generate wonderful reactions."
"If the previous efforts were extensions standing on the shoulders of those before , then this step is a pattern and invention I summarized through my own years of exploration."
At this point, D's voice beca passionately excited.
"Mr. Zhou, music is a fascinating thing. By the asure of ancient human civilization, it is at least 30,000 years older than writing; it's one of humanity's earliest thought carriers."
"Music has three origins."
"The first is the rhythm shout induced by collective labor, like logging chants, and the synchronized calls during lifting and carrying, which are still in use today."
"The second is the babbling sounds of infants, biologically homologous to birdsong, driven by the dopamine reward chanism within the body."
"The third is for supernatural communication. In shamanic rites or rituals to gods and ancestors, music serves as a universal dium between humans and deities. Whether it's musical instrunts, odes, chants, or arias, they all have distinct musical rhythms."
"Music is humanity's pursuit of rhythmic order and the expression of emotions that transcend human limitations."
It continued: "Actually, it's not just limited to humans; music affects various kinds of creatures. Zebra finches can recognize sequences of music by Bach and Schoenberg, parrots can sway to drumbeats, and only birds and humans have this capability."
"A 400Hz sine wave can improve bee foraging efficiency, and sound waves between 50-500Hz promote the growth of Arabidopsis roots—the chanism is the triggering of the calcium signal pathway."
"What's even more interesting is rice; experints have shown that under classical music (100dB), yields can increase by 25%, but heavy tal music actually inhibits tillering."
D chuckled lightly: "At least it seems the rice prefers classical music and dislikes heavy tal."
This area was Zhou Yi's blind spot of knowledge.
However, D's speech indeed had a strong AI flavor, fitting its prototype.
For Zhou Yi, music was a part of life, just like having three als a day, sleeping, and surfing the internet—it's a given part.
He had watched so videos before, where small animals resonate with music and even dance to it but had not given it much thought beyond amusent at the ti.
Zhou Yi asked, "Is it useful for all creatures? Even microorganisms?"
"Equally useful."
D said: "Microorganisms need their own music. They perceive low-frequency vibrations through cell mbrane deformation, flagella, and cilia movent, but conventionally, no one noticed this need. Their lives are brief, so performing and composing music is difficult. Therefore, I specifically composed a song for them, 'The Song No One Sings for Them'."
"Would you like to hear it? I can transcode it into a version we can hear."
Zhou Yi showed interest: "Sure. But we have staff in the microbiology field at our company; I'll have them listen and give it a try."
"That would be wonderful! Frankly, although I can sense their liking through the response of the microbial listeners, they can't express such complex information directly. So I'm quite anxious..."
D said so.
The ones invited over to listen to the song, of course, were the Dong.
The Dong live in the Corridor Palace, but this precise device can also accurately collect vibrations from external sounds.
D took out a small player. After assembling it, he aid it at the Corridor Palace and conducted another series of tuning.
Confird no issues.
D said: "Then I'll start."
Music slowly started playing from the player.
This song was energetic, reminding Zhou Yi of the BGM from Pacific Rim.
He couldn't help but start swaying.
The mic master also gave the highest praise: "I need to learn this song well."
However, the Dong side had no reaction for a long ti.
The song ended.
D looked at the waveform diagram, sowhat anxious, and asked: "I wonder how the microbial gentlen feel?"
Zhou Yi asked twice.
Only then did the Dong respond: "Mr. Zhou, just now the Cave People showed unprecedented excitent and even fell into chaos. Their energy absorption efficiency increased by 38%, drug-resistant gene expression was upregulated, the formation speed of biombranes was enhanced, and it accelerated iteration!"
"This music is terrifying... The Cave People just went through an unprecedented revelry."
It really works.
Zhou Yi said: "So can music be played to everyone long-term? To promote their growth?"
"I think it's best not to."
The Dong demonstrated restraint at this point: "While this power indeed brought various positive evolutions to the Cave People, it also made the group overly excited, impulsive, and frenzied."
"If this tendency persists long-term, it will plunge the entire group into an extrely aggressive and dangerous state."
"But as a stimulant when the group is low and negative, it indeed can serve as a good encouragent."
Zhou Yi was sowhat unprepared for the impact that special music had on the Cave People.
He imdiately fed this information back to D.
The chanical musician opposite relaxed: "I see... I know where the problem lies."
"Since music itself is a reflection of various emotions and instinctive impulses, to clearly observe microbial reactions in experints, I created this intense piece. Subsequently, as long as further diversifying the compositions, it could allow for the rotation of various emotions and instincts."
"This one is electronic symphony; I can compose more classical music, pop music, ethnic music, opera, Indian ragas, African drum music... Various emotional releases will be more balanced, and this extre impulsiveness won't occur."
Zhou Yi also said: "Thanks for that."
"I am a musician, after all."
D was at ease: "Finally, it is verified that microorganisms indeed have very specific needs for music."
