Chapter 791 New Brain: [Brain in the Mirror]
Lu Yuan’s inspiration is actually quite complex, involving many fields such as idealism, materialism, brain science and philosophy.
To put it simply, he wanted to create a mythical item called [Mirror Brain] as a new brain for the [Greedy Demon].
As the name suggests, the concept of "mirror brain" comes from the mirror: the mirror can replicate thousands of "parallel thoughts".
Think about it, if ten thousand "Lu Yuans" think at the same time, the production efficiency they bring will be far greater than that of one person.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and Lu Yuan is not a fool. He thinks his intelligence is pretty good now!
Of course, "parallel thinking" has its limits. Generally speaking, being able to produce about ten thinking bodies is already the limit of this divine skill.
However, the [Mirror Brain] forged by Lu Yuan can be infinitely improved. As long as he has the ability to control these thinking bodies, creating ten thousand or one hundred million will not be a problem!
In addition, the "differentiation" between the "new self" and the "old self" as well as the issue of priority are also perfectly resolved in "Mirror Brain".
Just as Shu Gongye described it: "When I move in reality, the image in the mirror will move accordingly."
All images cannot transcend the existence of the main personality.
This isn't just a law of idealism, it's also a law of physics! This dual constraint ensures extremely high security!
What's more, [Mirror Brain] has another big advantage - the image in the mirror is just an imitation of Lu Yuan, without too many emotions, and even no memories.
Only when Lu Yuan inputs the memory will their memories appear. After Lu Yuan disconnects, these images will lose their memories.
He is truly a chosen worker!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan almost doubted his life. It turned out that I was the chosen one!
But he became more and more excited!
"Well, that's it... There's no need to delve into various philosophical concepts for now. [Mirror Brain] is definitely the best for me right now!"
"Of course, the plan to learn from Pangu cannot be neglected. Social support is still useful...We must achieve both quantity and quality."
After figuring out these key points, Lu Yuan returned to the Qiankun World with great interest, took out various materials, and placed them in front of him.
Any one of these rare materials would cause a sensation among major civilizations if placed in the outside world. But now they are scattered randomly in the Turtle Temple like a pile of miscellaneous items.
The ideas in my mind flow like a fountain, and any inspiration can easily create an immortal or mythical item of extraordinary power!
But Lu Yuan was unmoved. He had to grasp the main thread.
At this moment, he seemed to have really turned into "Pangu", began to comprehend the idealistic rules of the world of Qiankun, and patiently searched for his own path.
Yes, everything in the past was actually just a superficial phenomenon of idealism.
From various divine skills, craftsman inspiration, innate bloodline and so on.
No matter how high-end the noun is, in the eyes of the real "Pangu", it is just a small toy made up casually.
Only by involving "one's own idealistic path" can one truly grow into an idealistic life at the level of the entire Sea of Chaos.
After thinking for many days, Lu Yuan finally exhaled deeply from his chest. The first thing he picked up was the [Infinite Colored Beads], an unformed "Boltzmann Brain".
Although he has given up this route, it does not mean that he has to completely give up this innate thing.
“It’s a naturally occurring high-performance computer.”
"I can transform it to suit my soul."
He placed the [Infinite Colored Beads] on the forging table.
He also took out another innate spiritual treasure, the [Xuanhuang Crystal Stone].
With a crisp "pop" sound, the [Xuanhuang Crystal Stone] shattered. According to current understanding, Xuanhuang Qi is still a rare item. It is equivalent to the "origin of idealism" and has the incredible power of "dreams come true."
The [Infinite Colored Pearls], which were born with high-speed computing capabilities, were now surrounded by the "Xuanhuang Qi", and inside they were dotted with light like the Milky Way.
Under the nourishment of the mysterious yellow energy, the [Infinite Colored Beads] began to slowly grow larger.
Taking advantage of this juncture, Lu Yuan dripped a drop of his own blood. Okay, this approach actually makes no sense at all, but as the saying goes, idealism, if more people believe in it, it becomes a way.
A week later, the [Infinite Color Pearl] turned into a huge crystal stone with a diameter of 15 meters, with a hint of dull red, which was Lu Yuan's own bloodline.
The former "Boltzmann Brain" was never truly born after all. Otherwise, the huge amount of idealistic energy invested alone would have allowed it to surpass the [Greedy Demon] and reach the eternal level!
"This thing's racial stats are ridiculous. It's a life form with an innate computing speed that's the speed of light... I wonder what it will become after I transform it."
Lu Yuan murmured in his heart.
The [Weaver] squatting in the Yin World was shocked by this energy fluctuation. It made a "beep" sound and seemed a little curious, but soon found that it could not understand it at all, so it had to give up.
What made it feel even more strange was that Lu Yuan's breath seemed to have changed, becoming a little unclear, making it difficult for it to grasp it.
It tilted its head, recalling the past long, long ago...
At that time, it was still exploring the Sea of Chaos!
That brilliant sea of stars is boundless, hiding countless mysteries, countless dangers and endless treasures!
[Weaver] itself is a well-known creature with high racial value, but because its body is full of treasures, it is hunted by advanced civilizations.
As long as one [Weaver] can be captured, it will be a huge benefit that even the seventh-level civilization and the eighth-level civilization will envy. Some powerful idealistic beings also specifically hunt [Weavers] through various traps.
So, it was injured, its two legs were broken, its body was mutilated, and one of its eyes was missing.
It fled in panic.
When it first saw the idealistic life form "Pangu", it was afraid from the bottom of its heart. The other party was so powerful that it was unprecedented in its life!
But he was seriously injured and dying, with no possibility of escape. He could only hide in a corner and hope that the other party did not discover him.
The other party laughed, his eyes bright: [Little guy, are you being hunted by your enemies? ]
[I want to open up a new world. If you have nowhere to hide, you can rest and recuperate in my world. Wait a moment!]
This was the only communication between the two sides.
Short, yet direct.
Then, Pangu opened up a big world in a way that the Weaver could not understand, but he himself fell.
[The Weaver] recuperated and recovered from his injuries in the early days of the Pangu Continent. It was not until the middle of the First Era that he set sail and once again conquered the Sea of Chaos.
So it has a deep affection for this continent...
In the Ninth Era, on a whim, I suddenly came back to take a look.
Thinking of this, the weaver's long antenna shook twice.
It inexplicably saw the figure of "Pangu" in Lu Yuan...
At this moment, the transformation of [Infinite Colored Pearls] has reached a fever pitch.
Several auxiliary materials are being added one by one: the "shadow-tracing secret silver" that can bring soul affinity is pulled into extremely fine silk threads, which are wrapped around the colorful crystal like a spider web.
The powder of the "Ten Thousand Years Soul-Sinking Wood" turned into tiny bits of faint light under the burning of the eternal fire, seeping into it and giving it the spirituality of carrying memories.
Finally, there is the "Time Tree" which has the attribute of time. This thing can be used to adjust the speed of time flow in the [Mirror Brain].
It can be said that the cost of forging this new organ far exceeds that of all previous organs, including the heart!
But just piling up materials is still far from enough, as it still lacks the most critical material - that is Lu Yuan himself!
Lu Yuan solemnly explained the situation to his wife: "I'm about to begin! This time, it may take a long time, decades, even hundreds of years, or it may only take a moment... I have no way of predicting."
Conch asked in surprise, "You found the direction so quickly?"
"Well, the success rate is higher, and it's not easy to get lost... So I'll leave the Green City matters to you!"
"Some people keep doing this every other day, leaving all the work to me," Miss Conch scolded, then laughed again, saying in a pleasant voice, "By the time you wake up, we might all have reached Level 6 civilization, and you, the [Demon of Greed], might even be eliminated!"
"Haha, let's wait and see. Don't get scared then."
After Lu Yuan said this, he stuffed the modified [Infinite Colored Pearl] into the brain of the [Greedy Demon] and connected it to the internal energy circuit.
Blood vessels begin to connect with each other and the heart beats faster.
A hazy and weird feeling comes towards me and goes straight into my soul!
At this moment, Lu Yuan saw countless versions of himself appearing in countless mirrors!
When Lu Yuan looked at them, these figures also stared at him!
Cold, stiff, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
Even though Lu Yuan had prepared himself mentally, he still felt a vague sense of fear when he saw tens of billions of "selfies in the mirror" - as if the entire universe had become "Lu Yuan's universe", with Lu Yuan's mirror image everywhere, and every time he took a breath, the entire universe breathed with him.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would go crazy immediately!
Fortunately, Lu Yuan's nerves are strong enough and his inspiration is abundant and lasting enough.
"My philosophy is still within the human realm. My imagination is also only at the human level."
"Tens of billions of minds are still beyond imagination. Take your time, don't rush."
With a thought, the number of mirrors shrank to ten thousand, and ten thousand pairs of eyes stared at him coldly.
“It’s still too much.”
After some adjustments, the number of mirrors was reduced to one hundred, and it finally became something that was in line with human imagination.
The next step is very critical, and the image in the mirror must appear intelligent.
Lu Yuan thought of two methods. The first was to imitate Pangu and "transform all living beings with Tao."
The reason why the creatures on Pangu Continent have intelligence is all due to the influence of Pangu.
Including the inspiration of craftsmen, various inventions and creations, etc., are all the result of "Tao transforming all living beings".
Intelligence has become a kind of authority, and skilled craftsmen can even be qualified to change the world.
Of course, this method was too clever. Lu Yuan could only copy but not learn. He was a little worried that he would be assimilated by Pangu.
"Through my spiritual anchoring, I can plagiarize a small amount, so it won't be a big problem... As for learning 'Tao Huazhongsheng' in its entirety, I'll consider deciphering it once my intelligence improves."
The second method was something Lu Yuan thought of himself: in the long river of history, he intercepted the historical illusions of the past, and let the self who had appeared in the illusion help the current self.
This method sounds quite idealistic. Ordinary craftsmen would think it is a fantasy and be completely helpless.
But for Lu Yuan, the difficulty is acceptable. His "Forging Method of Creation" once restored the vitality of a long-dead [Bixi]; now that his strength has reached a higher level, it is possible to make the images of the past come alive.
However, the trouble with this method is that the workload is extremely large. Each mirror contains yourself at a certain moment and must be tailor-made.
One hundred mirrors is already a huge project!
Don’t even think about 100 million mirrors!
Therefore, the upper limit of this method is several orders of magnitude lower than that of "Taoism for All Beings".
But for Lu Yuan at the moment, it is already the best method.
With a thought, a blurry figure appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
He was wearing a windbreaker, jeans, and hiking shoes. There was a hint of childishness on his face and his eyes were blank.
That was the "young Lu Yuan" when he just arrived in Pangu Continent.
Even though the appearance has not changed much, the style has changed a lot.
"My past self, please help my present self." Lu Yuan murmured softly.
The person in the mirror was slightly stunned, and the confusion in his eyes turned into the calmness of a lake.
Then, there were images of him settling down with the old wolf, images of him fighting the fire lizards, images of him hunting in winter, and images of him fighting the [Demon]...
Lu Yuan carefully selected one hundred wonderful moments in his eight hundred year life journey. Those figures appeared in the mirrors, with gentle eyes and relaxed expressions.
Even the images of those who had just killed the enemy looked heroic.
"Everyone, please help me!"
"Only higher intelligence is necessary to reach the eternal level. Now, I will share my current knowledge with you."
Lu Yuan silently recited in his heart, imitating Pangu and using the "Tao to transform all living beings".
He couldn't quite understand the whole process, but it was real.
This action of directly copying answers is indeed risky, but it must be done, otherwise there will be a huge gap in intelligence between different people in the mirror.
Just like when Lu Yuan first arrived at Pangu Continent, he was just an ordinary rookie, a world of difference from what he is now. After "Taoism Transforms All Beings", the intellectual gap will be smoothed out.
After a long time, the one hundred mirrors emitted a faint light, and the people in the mirrors became more intelligent.
Lu Yuan sensed it and found no signs of losing control, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Is this… done?!”
