Chen Feng looked around and saw only an endless ocean.
The color of the sea water was different from the azure blue on Earth, it was emerald green.
The visibility was not high.
With the naked human eye, one could only see things within about five meters.
But now this is a virtual world, and Chen Feng can see a million miles at a glance by relying on the connection between quantum information.
He soon discovered that this was not just an ocean.
He was on the surface of a huge liquid sphere.
The diameter of the sphere was over 300,000 kilometers.
There was no doubt that this was a liquid planet, composed of water and countless water-soluble minerals.
Due to the effect of gravity, the density of this water should be increasing in a continuous step-by-step manner from the surface to the inside.
There are dozens of huge suspended objects floating inside the planet, some high and some low.
In addition, there are countless small suspended objects.
Of course, when they are called small, their diameters actually range from thousands of kilometers to tens of kilometers.
This is the "home planet" of fish.
Chen Feng temporarily named it the Fish Star.
The liquid in the Fish Star is naturally the sky of the fish.
Those large and small suspended objects are the "continents" where the fish live.
Chen Feng once saw that among the many slave planets locked near the center of the Milky Way, there is a liquid planet with a diameter of exactly 300,000 kilometers.
At that time, he just took a surprised glance and passed by it, but he didn't expect that in this timeline, the two sides would actually deal with each other.
He got off to a good start, and in just the first step he determined the origin of the fish.
Chen Feng did not try to find the other party's consciousness from here.
Because the virtual world he saw in front of him was originally a sentence spoken by the other party to him.
Fanxing said that the language of fish is a pure quantum random entanglement, which can contain a huge amount of information in a very small fragment.
The entire simulated mother planet environment is just one part of this huge amount of information.
As for the more obvious and straightforward meaning of this sentence, Chen Feng had to discover it himself.
The purpose of his coming here was to be a translator.
Chen Feng recalled carefully. Among the fish stars he had seen, aquatic intelligent life is actually a large category.
Under this large category, there are many sub-species.
Due to differences in water flow environment and density, the "fish" living on suspended continents at different heights are very different.
Even some of the larger suspended continents will give birth to dozens of sub-races according to the layering from top to bottom.
The different sub-races are very different in living habits, body shapes, etc., and have even produced reproductive isolation.
But the amazing thing is that all sub-races recognize their identity as fish people, and are very coordinated in thought and ideology.
At that time, Chen Feng's astonishing glance gave him such a huge amount of information. When he matched his current situation, he found something strange.
In the previous timeline, there was no fish person of the species that appeared this time.
The Fish Star Warriors that humans encountered this time can travel across the universe in their physical bodies, can use curvature to fly, have the ability to fold, and can release ultra-high energy, which is completely unreasonable.
Some Fish Star people who live in an ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure environment near the center of the planet have very special abilities, but they can't reach the level of Fish Star Warriors.
And the travel form of the Fish Star Warriors clearly looks like a shallow water species, which is no different from large fish such as dolphins, whales or sharks on Earth, but they have the ability to soar in the vacuum of the universe, and it is not a problem for them to gallop across the interior of the Fish Star.
There are many contradictions between the two, proving that they are definitely not the product of natural evolution.
Even if the Fish Star people have existed for a long time and evolved, it is theoretically impossible for them to completely transcend the external environment of their birth and evolve from an underwater race to a space race.
In the previous timeline, Chen Feng had undergone intensive learning.
The anthropologists in this timeline have also conducted a lot of research on cosmic biology, and now Chen Feng has a huge amount of knowledge about cosmology.
The more knowledge he has, the more he knows what may happen in the universe and what may not happen.
The appearance of the Fish Star Warriors violates the basic rules of the universe, just like human colonists.
When humans become colonists, they change from one species to another, and the same is true for fish.
Chen Feng is getting closer and closer to the truth he wants.
If he wants to help the Traveler Star Wars enemy, he has to crack the secrets of its super-speed maneuvers, fog release and special weapons. So he must first figure out what changes have happened to these fish, whether they have adopted the same colonization technology as humans, or other unknown technologies.
This is like a doctor diagnosing a person. You have to find the lesion accurately before you can prescribe the right medicine.
His consciousness began to wander around in this liquid world to find more information.
If he relies on himself alone, it will take a lot of thought to crack the huge information in the other party's "language".
Fortunately, he has the computing power of the stars to support him, and a large number of human mathematicians and linguists provide him with auxiliary decoding capabilities in the rear under the overall arrangement of the stars.
At this time, Chen Feng was looking around casually. All the information he saw was being sent out in the form of resonance signals.
The essence of Chen Feng's brain thinking signals is his thought quantum storm.
Now that he has lost his body, his gene awakening degree can no longer be measured, but there is no doubt that the complexity of his thought quantum storm is far beyond the limit of ordinary humans.
Since Chen Feng is used to translate the language of the Pisces, the accuracy of capturing the information contained in the thought storm must be absolutely precise. The accuracy requirement is at least several decimal points higher than the normal synchronization of information, comparable to point-to-point personality replication.
With the technology currently mastered by mankind, it was originally impossible to capture such accurate signals.
But it is a bit strange that the preparations that Chen Feng had secretly made before played a significant role at this time.
The stars established the first information channel for him in the traditional quantum network, and the thought resonance on the T100 side became the second reference channel that can be used for data comparison.
When the technicians outside read the information, they will get the same information fragments through two channels at the same time, and then compare them with each other to improve the accuracy as much as possible.
At first, the technicians outside were all at a loss when facing the same vast ocean. The only partial inferred information they could obtain came from the description of the slave star that Chen Feng brought back from the previous timeline.
But thirty-seven seconds after the synchronization began, the solar system earth creatures put forward an important conclusion.
They believe that the language of fish is a "stacked" language.
The definition of stacked language is as follows:
certain races with peculiar memory characteristics will use a continuously stacked language when communicating with each other.
Suppose that this intelligent race has a pair of ancestors who are born with intelligence for the first time.
The first sentence the two intelligent ancestors said when they met was only one word, "you".
The second sentence became "hello".
The communication between the two continued to deepen, and every sentence they said to each other added a word after the previous sentence.
From a human perspective, it may be just a casual chat between two "people" that the number of words in the end is already so many that humans cannot imagine.
Moreover, the memory of the race that adopts stacked language will be passed on to the next generation along with epigenetic information.
The content of the communication between the next generation, starting from the first sentence, continues to be superimposed on the information passed down by the previous generation, until the amount of information is "infinitely large".
This seems incredible, but there are vivid examples on Earth.
Humans once had a misunderstanding, always like to use "fish's memory is only seven seconds" to tease someone's poor memory.
But in fact, this sentence is completely wrong.
The memory of fish not only lasts for a long time, but can even be passed on to the next generation.
For example, the ornamental fish in the scenic area, as long as they are born, they don't even need to be taught by others, they naturally know that when someone approaches the water surface, they have to rush over because there will be food there.
For example, fish know from birth which areas are dangerous waters and which areas are relatively safe and can avoid natural enemies.
From a purely earth science perspective, the way DNA carries memory is not mysterious. It is just the obvious role of methylation modification, which means that without changing the DNA sequence, a specific methyl group is covalently bound to the nucleotide through modification by a specific enzyme.
Different methyl groups are combined together to form a huge amount of information that can be passed on to the next generation. In terms of language, it is a stacked language.
Therefore, people in the Earth Biology Institute believe that the fish people use a stacked language.
Of course, fish on Earth do not master stacked languages, because language itself is one of the symbols of intelligent races.
As an intelligent race, the amount of information and complexity in their language is far beyond the ordinary fish on Earth.
The reason why the Pisces can maintain unity despite showing a wide variety of racial differentiation is that no matter what height of suspended continent the Pisces live on, what physical characteristics and special abilities they possess, their earliest intelligent ancestors are still the same race. It's just that during the migration process, their own morphology and gene sequences have evolved differently with environmental changes.
But the languages of all races can be traced back to the same pair of ancestors.
In the end, reproductive isolation did not lead to a complete split of the Pisces.
So the "sentence" that Chen Feng is seeing now represents the entire history of the Pisces from their birth to their appearance on the battlefield of the Voyager Galaxy.
This sentence is a living and comprehensive history book, telling the entire history of a huge civilization from its birth to its thriving growth and then to enslavement.
Chen Feng's conversation with this fish is equivalent to a conversation with the history of the other party's entire civilization.
Now that he understands that the other party's information is history, the subsequent analysis work has become much simpler.
Chen Feng expanded his search and indeed encountered many virtual fish of different generations.
The morphology of some fish is incompatible with the external environment.
For example, this is clearly a high-temperature suspended continent that often erupts magma, but it is inhabited by a race that is more adapted to low-temperature environments.
These misplaced species are the fish people of the old era who once existed at a certain stage in history, but were eliminated in the evolution as the environment on the suspended continent changed.
The environment in certain fixed areas is also constantly changing. Sometimes when Chen Feng focuses on a certain area, it is still a suspended continent with a strong magnetic field in the previous second, and becomes an electrified continent in the next second.
He constantly captures, collects, and transmits countless fragmented and complex information, and finally people outside and the stars piece it together into a grand history book.
