Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 809
Chapter 809: The Micro Brain
No, it was not an ordinary crystal…
Its crystal-clear surface was filled with wrinkles and cracks, and there were thousands of crystal wire strands winding inside, just like a dense neural network.
If the area where the monster mastermind was located was like a giant brain with a diameter of hundreds of meters…
Then, this crystal fragment was like the remains of a brain tissue the size of a walnut!
Moreover, when Meng Chao gazed at it deeply, magnificent brilliance was emanating from within it as if a nonexistent eye had opened slightly and met Meng Chao’s gaze.
Meng Chao felt a biological electric current surge through every nerve ending in his body.
He blurted out, “This is a crystallized nerve ball, and it’s still alive!”
Whether it was a superhuman or a superbeast, after being nourished by the sun and the moon’s essence, spirit energy accumulated in their bodies over a long period of time, there was a certain chance that it would seep into their internal organs, limbs, bones, and blood, gradually giving their body, which was originally made of flesh and blood, a metallic texture. It was even translucent.
This process was called crystallization or “crystallize” for short.
After ‘crystallization’, the functions of the organs would be greatly enhanced. They could easily trigger abilities that were ten times or even a hundred times stronger than ordinary organs.
This was the source of the extraordinary’s power.
For example, Meng Chao’s latest breakthrough in the ‘five-star Spirit Vision Realm’was to condense spiritual energy into the retina, the lens, and the optic nerves, allowing these visual organs to ‘crystallize’.
Normally, when extraordinary individuals were at the ‘three-star spirit gathering realm’at the peak of the Earth realm, after a monster reached the ‘Level Three Nightmare Beast’, their organs would gradually ‘crystallize’.
The first to ‘crystallize’was usually the bones.
Many extraordinary individuals and nightmare beasts could train their bones to be as hard as iron through ‘crystallizing’and blast out unparalleled strength.
Then, it was the flesh and tendons.
After the crystallization process, the flesh and tendons could expand several times or even several meters long.
This was why the seemingly thin extraordinary humans could instantly transform into a three-meter-tall body. The muscles on their bodies were bulging as if they were a giant spirit descending to the mortal world.
The organs that were the most difficult to ‘crystallize’were undoubtedly the brain tissue and nervous system.
On one hand, the brain tissues were as fragile as the spinal cord.
On the other hand, the brains of carbon-based intelligent creatures contained too many mysteries.
The consequence of rashly pouring a large amount of spiritual energy into the brain might not be the brain strengthening, but the brain bleeding, the mental derangement, the loss of control of the nervous system, the imbalance of the endocrine system, and so on.
Therefore, the brain tissues and the nervous system absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy and gradually turned crystal clear. The ‘crystallized nerve spheres’that were formed were the rarest materials.
It was more than priceless. It was a priceless treasure.
Back then, Meng Chao and Qin Hu had known each other only because of a cluster of crystallized nerve balls harvested from the body of the monster ‘Gold Phantom’.
Gold Phantom was only an ordinary monster. Strictly speaking, it was impossible for it to form a real crystallized nerve ball.
It was just a coincidence that the gold phantom had been living in the blessed land with abundant spiritual energy all year round. It had been contaminated with a few strands of spiritual energy, which made its nerve clusters feel crystal clear.
This was enough to change the fate of Meng Chao and his family.
However, the crystal fragment in front of them was like a miniature brain. Although it was small, it had all the five internal organs. The seven-colored mystic light it emitted was like brain waves that could be seen with the naked eye. It was the best crystal nerve ball.
Whether it was Meng Chao, who had the memories of his previous life, or the legendary “Martial arts legend”Lei Zongchao, they had never seen such a perfect crystal nerve ball with such powerful spiritual energy ripples.
The two of them narrowed their eyes at the same time.
“This is… the remains of the monster’s main brain?”Meng Chao swallowed hard and moistened his dry throat. His voice was still a little shaky.
“That’s right. I saw it with my own eyes. This is the only thing left after the monster’s main brain turned into bubbles and the bubbles burst one after another.”
Shao Zhengyang paused for a moment and said, “However, we are not sure if it can be considered as the remains of the monster’s main brain.”
Meng Chao was slightly dazed.
Since it was the only remains of the main brain of the monster after it was destroyed, what else could it be other than its remains?
“We are trying to analyze the composition of the crystallized nerve ball. Although we don’t know exactly what material it was made of, we are certain that unless the combination of high temperature, high pressure, and spiritual radiation over tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years is involved, such a… Perfect shape and texture can not be created.”
Wu Haibo explained, “Reading the information in the crystallized nerve ball also confirms our speculation — this thing is at least tens of millions of years old
“What?”Meng Chao was greatly surprised.
The crystallized nerve ball that looked like a mini brain was tens of millions of years old, or even hundreds of millions of years old. It was definitely an ‘ancient relic’.
If it used to be the brain of a powerful living creature, it should have been an archaic creature.
However, the life of the main brain of the monster was definitely not as long as hundreds of millions of years.
Other than a few plants, it was impossible and unnecessary for a carbon-based creature that looked like a giant ant queen to live for such a long time.
“In other words, there is another… archaic brain in the body of the main brain of the monster that doesn’t belong to it?”Meng Chao was shocked.
“A more reasonable guess is that this primordial brain had been asleep for billions of years. After it gradually woke up, it released a mysterious power similar to brainwaves, attracting the carbon-based creatures around it to its side and slowly wrapping it up. Its cells continued to divide, proliferate, and grow. In the end, it became the monster’s main brain.”
Wu Haibo said, “To put it simply, the immemorial brain woke up after hundreds of millions of years of sleep and felt that it needed a body. Therefore, it created the monster main brain and used the monster main brain to drive an even larger super giant brain and even the entire mother body.
“Right. The relic research institute named the brain that was hundreds of meters in diameter as the giant brain, and the crystal nerve ball is the micro brain.
“We believe that the ‘micro-brain’is the core of the mother system.”
“It’s unbelievable.”
Meng Chao clicked his tongue and exclaimed, “Such a brain the size of a walnut can drive a ‘giant brain’hundreds of meters in diameter, a ‘mother body’that occupies dozens of kilometers underground, or even thousands of beast tides?”
“Not just one.”
Wu Haibo corrected him, “By reading the information stored in the ‘microbrain’and the other evidence found in the depths of Relic No. 2, our preliminary speculation is that hundreds of thousands of ‘microbrains’will be needed to activate 100% of the performance and strength of the ‘mother’. They will be connected together in an unbelievable way to form an ‘array thinking unit’.
“It’s a pity that most of the ‘microcomputers’were destroyed in the ancient war, and only 1% of the living tissues of the mother body were left. Only the last ‘microcomputer’survived the orbital attack of the space-based weapons and the erosion of billions of years.
“Of course, there’s No ‘pity’.
“If two ‘microcomputers’were awakened at the same time and activated 2% of the active tissues in the mother body, we wouldn’t be studying it right now. Instead, they would have killed 90% of the human beings and captured the remaining 10% of the human beings into the laboratory, tied them to the operating table, and studied them as they wished.”
Meng Chao agreed with him.
Closing his eyes, a mysterious and magnificent picture appeared before his eyes.
At the core of the picture were hundreds of crystal-clear ‘microbrains’the size of walnuts. They were connected to each other by nanoscale crystal wires, forming an even, solemn, and precise cube.
Such a model not only avoided the defects of a brain that was too big, had poor heat dissipation, and lacked mobility and defense ability, but also allowed it to carry different ‘shells’when necessary. The ‘shells’could be broken into pieces, making it easier for the brain to expand, fight, and migrate.
Outside the ‘Array Thinking Unit’, there was a ‘giant brain’that was hundreds of meters in diameter.
The ‘Giant Brain’could be responsible for the calculation and deduction tasks at the thought level, while the ‘Giant Brain’was responsible for the specific advancement and implementation at the execution level. The division of labor was clear, and the cooperation was tacit.
Outside the ‘Giant Brain’, there was the ‘Mother Body’– the ‘Resource Collection Center, Resource Smelting Center, Genetic Laboratory, Biochemical Weapon Manufacturing Workshop, Recruit Training Camp, and service upgrade center’of the immemorial civilization and the monster civilization!
Outside the ‘Mother Body’, the world was naturally producing endless beast tides through the marvelous system.
“The biochemical technology of the archaic civilization has indeed reached the peak. With such technology, it will only take a few ‘ancients’with a few ‘mother body seeds’to cross the Sea of stars and conquer a Planet!”
Meng Chao clicked his tongue in wonder.
Although the archaean civilization has “Through the engine”, can directly teleport a city to the other side of the Sea of stars.
But Meng Chao felt that such a crossing, must consume astronomical energy, there are many restrictions, may not be able to do as you wish.
If one is not careful, the whole city has passed through the extremely harsh environment, not suitable for the continuation of civilization, or even entrenched in the location of a powerful enemy, is not the road to death?
It would be much simpler and cheaper to send a few ‘ancients’with a few ‘mother seed’.
Even if these ‘ancients’were unfortunate enough to encounter an accident, it would not cause too much damage to the entire archaic civilization.
Wait a minute —
Meng Chao suddenly grasped the key between the lines of Wu Haibo’s words.
“You can read information from the Archaic era in the ‘microcomputer’?”He widened his eyes.
“Of course.”
Wu Haibo smiled. “Many ancient relics contain a lot of information that originated from the ancient times.
“Entering the ancient relics, coming into contact with the relics, listening to the ‘call of the ancient times’, and trying to figure out the mysterious pictures that emerged in your mind — this is an important way for human beings to learn from the ‘Ancient Times’. It is also the key to Dragon City’s technological leap and even explosion in the short half a century and successfully transforming into a ‘spiritual civilization’.
“Not to mention that the ‘micro-brain’is an organ for analyzing and storing information. After billions of years of spiritual energy, a lot of information is still shining and fresh
