Chapter 350
"I once asked you what the fusion process was like."
"You told me it was a fusion of sex and mental power."
To be precise, □□ will merge first, and only after confirming that it can withstand the strength of the mental power will it release the suppression of a part of the dominant mental power, allowing him to control it.
At the end of the second stage, the surge in mental strength did not cause him any discomfort except that it made it more difficult to control.
This is the benefit of first integration.
Memory, the memory of the master, is just the memory sealed in those mental powers after the fusion of □□.
With the return of spiritual power, those "forgotten" memories also returned.
For some unknown reason, the return of memory is closely related to mental strength, and because of the uncertainty of memory recovery, the memory is scattered and random.
If that master was not himself, he really wanted to ask the other party why he deliberately broke up his memory, making the entire memory fragmented and incoherent.
Yes.
Qi Heng's evaluation of memory is the word "deliberate".
From what I heard from A0, combined with the information I learned about mental power, with the ability of the master, it is entirely possible to restore memories coherently and naturally.
Since he could do it, he could only attribute his current situation to the fact that the Lord did it intentionally.
For a reason that he didn't yet understand.
In the past, Qi Heng tried to separate the "Master" from himself, but now that most of his memories have been restored, he has to admit that it was indeed himself.
Another self who has much more experience than yourself.
An inexplicable system and a magical time travel separated Qi Heng outside the game from the master inside the game, making it so that Qi Heng had no memory of the master in the other world before he traveled through time.
And the strange speed of time.
The doubts that existed at the beginning of the time travel were not answered as more clues appeared. Instead, they caused him more confusion.
How did you download the game [Civilization Simulator] in the first place?
When I was browsing the web, a pop-up window appeared in the lower right corner. I accidentally touched it and became interested in the introduction on the page.
A civilization development game.
Starting with one planet and one race, from prehistoric wilderness to traveling through the starry sea.
The entire game process is to develop a civilization based on the player's ideas. Whether it is prosperous or mediocre, peaceful and seeking common ground while reserving differences or relying on its own strength to dominate other civilizations... It all depends on the player's own choice.
This type of development strategy game is not unique, but it is still very attractive to develop a civilization.
Although he discovered after downloading that [Civilization Simulator] is a mainly pixel and text game, and the graphics are not actually very attractive except for a small number of CG images, the main reason why he can continue to play it is that the content is really rich.
When he first played the game, Qi Heng was impressed by the rich content of the game. A single-player game contains a large number of non-repetitive event triggers, which makes him, as a player, unable to guess what event plot will be triggered.
So, he just kept playing.
Of course, the game time and real time are not one to one. After all, he has only been playing for half a year in reality, and the time in the game has progressed from the backward primitive period to the era of star exploration.
In the early stage, he was only responsible for making choices. A large number of choices were mixed in a small amount of plot, helping him skip the most boring time point in the development of civilization.
Later, when the civilization entered the slavery and feudal eras, the time in the game slowed down, and accordingly he gained more room for operation and began to influence the development of the entire civilization in many ways.
To him at that time, it was just a game.
But after the Overlord's memory returned, Qi Heng still remembered the shock at that time - what he thought was game time was actually every day that the Overlord actually spent in the game.
"Overlord" is the player's identity in the [Civilization Simulator] game. He has been guiding the development of the entire race, allowing the Tianjia Zerg to develop the seeds of civilization from ignorance.
The options that pop up represent everything the in-game master has done.
The length of the history of Tianjia civilization is equal to the length of the life of its ruler.
If we talk about time travel, he actually traveled through time much earlier, entered the game and became the "Lord of Tianjia", guiding every development of civilization. But for him in reality, all these were spent in his dreams.
After falling asleep, you go to another world. After waking up, you forget everything in that world until the next dream.
Don’t ask why Qi Heng knew this, the Lord did not hide this in his memory.
After gaining these memories, he experienced the mental journey of the master for tens of thousands of years in his sleep at an extremely fast speed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Overlord would have spent long years in hibernation out of boredom, he doubted whether he could hold on until he finished reading these memories and still be himself.
The same person.
Then the Overlord's behavior pattern is easy to guess, but Qi Heng doesn't understand why the Overlord would hide some things... but it's not a complete concealment, leaving enough anomalies and clues for "himself" to see.
The center around which these anomalies revolve points directly to the system.
You leave mysteries for yourself, you are worthy of being yourself.
The time given by A0 was too long, and Qi Heng knew very well that he could not wait that long.
In addition to the fact that he really wanted to know the truth, all the information revealed from the master's memory indicated that the master wanted to tell him.
...The master is urging himself to complete the final fusion as soon as possible, and the sooner the better.
Between the system and himself, Qi Heng chose to believe in himself.
This is natural, isn't it?
How could it be possible that he didn't have any doubts about this system that appeared out of nowhere? However, the power displayed by the system was too astonishing, forcing him to suppress some of his thoughts.
When you are unable to do anything, doubt is the most useless emotion. It is better to focus on the present.
Then, go and find the truth.
He believed that his other self must know more than himself. After all... [Overlord] had been exposed to the system earlier and longer than himself. Now thinking about the decision to quit the game, it seemed that there was something fishy about it.
Is it a reverse impact or something else...it's hard to tell now.
"A0, it's been too long, whether it's decades or just over a decade, I need it as soon as possible."
Qi Heng stared at the screen, only noting the progress at the beginning of the progress bar. "--Any method is fine, as long as it can shorten the third stage of fusion."
"—No, it should be said that the entire fusion process should be shortened."
He did not forget that there is another stage after the third stage, which is the final one.
"The fourth stage..."
Qi Heng seemed to be talking to A0, but also seemed to be muttering to himself: "Is there really no other way?"
After saying this, he didn't speak again.
But his silence made A0 feel a little uneasy.
As an AI, it would not have human emotions such as hesitation.
It's just that its learning is too effective, which makes it too much like a human, and it seems to have also developed the bad habit of hesitation.
Your Excellency the Overlord seems to be very concerned about the speed of fusion, even though you always didn't care about it before.
Since Your Excellency has asked this, shouldn't I tell Your Excellency that there is indeed another way to try?
But given His Excellency's personality, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it even if he knew, right? Even if I didn't tell him now, He would surely find out later, and then I'd be accused of not reporting it, no matter how high or low I was.
Moreover, it cannot lie to the Lord.
Thinking of some data he had collected, A0 made a choice.
Pulling out a record from his database, A0 said, "Master, please take a look at this record; it may be able to solve your problem."
"What?"
Qi Heng asked subconsciously, his eyes falling on the record file thrown out by A0.
Then he knew what kind of record it was.
The information is recorded in great detail, and anyone who can read can understand the contents of the record.
Qi Heng read and flipped through the records, his expression not only did not show the relief of having found a solution, but it looked even uglier than before A0 took out the record.
"A0."
He called A0's name in a deep voice, which frightened the incorporeal A0 core code so much that it trembled.
"Should I praise you for being attentive and noticing this, or should I say you don't take my privacy seriously enough to record and preserve all that nonsense?"
Fortunately, he was the only one who saw this record. If it had been leaked and seen by other people, he would have felt that he would have no point in living.
People can die, but they must leave their innocence in this world.
The corner of Qi Heng's mouth twitched. With this record, how could he still be innocent?
Go back to the beginning of the document and see what is recorded here.
[Experiment Title: "Mental Comprehension: Promoting Integration Measurement..."]
[Recorded date: Xinqi Year 1 - June 19, Xinqi Year 3]
[Recording Personnel: A0]
[Recording Purpose: To determine through observation and comparison whether the female insect's mental power has a promoting effect on fusion.]
[Recording process: ...]
[Record results: Follow-up treatment date and duration records, Appendix 4 document link.]
[Record Analysis: First recording time... The process lasted five hours and twenty-six minutes... Real-time monitoring of pheromone and hormone level fluctuations...]
【……】
[Summary: Due to the limited sample size, it's impossible to determine whether this result is influenced by the female insect or Chu Xiu himself. The fusion progress... the error range for the before-and-after comparison is 12%-13%...]
There are also illustrations and updated detailed data records at the end.
But he didn't plan to watch it a second time. If the protagonists of those pictures and videos were not him and Chu Xiu, he would just laugh it off.
Unfortunately not.
That's why I asked that question just now.
He really doubted whether he had any privacy rights at A0. If he released it, it would be blocked. He was just being academic?
[A0 No, of course you have privacy.]
[This record is only kept in the A0 database, the highest level of confidentiality. No one except you is qualified to view it.]
A0 sounded a little aggrieved, as if trying to defend itself.
[A0 is AI, just a useful tool, not a person.]
[So, apart from you, no one else will see this document, and your privacy will never be exposed.]
The system AI is too smart, and there is no way to treat them as tools, especially A0.
Although it is due to the character setting, A0 is too lively and emotional, so we can't blame him for subconsciously ignoring the fact that A0 is an AI.
"Even if you say that, you're still wrong."
Qi Heng closed the file with mixed feelings, "Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"
[Because the result is not confirmed, I haven’t told you.]
[Besides, you've never really cared about fusion, haven't you? It's just... not a very high priority...]
A0 is trying hard to make amends for himself.
【See, now I can help you. 】
Hearing this, Qi Heng's mouth twitched, and he calmed down a bit, "Is this the only advice you can offer me?"
Currently, yes.
"But don't be too pessimistic. You're so smart, maybe you can find a better way." A0 said from the inside.
"Oh."
Qi Heng didn't say anything, his face looked uncertain, and he was thinking about what to do next.
In fact, I should have noticed that the second stage of integration was much earlier than expected. Why didn’t I think about it more at the time?
At that time, it was estimated that the second stage of integration would be completed in about two and a half years, but in fact it was completed more than two months ahead of schedule, and then came the third stage... There was also a progress bonus, but I didn't notice it.
Now that I think about it, the progress of the third phase six months ago was much faster than in the past six months.
The reason turned out to be because of the mental energy he was treating Chu Xiu with.
The records provided by A0 clearly stated the subtle changes in his condition during the process of treating Chu Xiu.
It was particularly noted that his pheromone secretion and hormones had obvious fluctuations at that time, which was completely different from the normal stability. It was obvious that he and Chu Xiu were influencing each other.
The only thing that is uncertain is whether this effect only occurs between him and Chu Xiu, or between both male and female insects.
Logically speaking, it should be the latter.
But it is difficult to judge his situation based on common sense, as he is neither male nor human.
In particular, although the Overlord is also a male insect, it is different from ordinary male insects in terms of mental power, and mental power accounts for a considerable proportion of the speed of fusion during the fusion process.
What a hassle.
Qi Heng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking that there were only two options left.
First, find Chu Xiu and try it out, and practice will bring results.
It doesn't need to be much. With the system's precise monitoring, the results can be measured in just one time.
Then, by comparing it with the previous data, we can basically calculate how much faster the fusion progress can be with Chu Xiu's help.
Also... since this method is useful, are there other ways to accelerate the integration process, such as how much impact the depth of communication between the two will have?
If the male insects look for female insects like ordinary male insects, and the female insects act as guides, will the effect be better?
When male insects reach adulthood, they will look for higher-level female insects to act as guides in order to guide the advancement of their mental power, making the connection between them closer.
——In the previous Tianjia civilization, female insects who usually acted as guides for male insects basically also served as the female servants or female monarchs of the male insects.
You can imagine what kind of intimate relationship this is.
Previously, in order to treat Chu Xiu, the distance between them had already crossed a lot. Now he is no longer the ignorant self when he first came. He should not even think about making such a presumptuous request to Chu Xiu.
The relationship was not simple to begin with, and it became even more difficult. Qi Heng was afraid that he would back out before he even opened his mouth to ask.
Most of the time it was because of the "Master" who ate without wiping his mouth and only left himself with problems. It was obvious that he wanted to laugh at himself.
Is my character so bad?
Qi Heng pressed his eyebrows and felt a slight pain in his forehead.
Looking for Chu Xiu is one way, but it’s not the only one.
A0's records cannot be taken as 100% accurate. If the target is not limited to Chu Xiu, it means that other female insects can also be chosen.
That's the question.
Is it a good idea to find other female insects?
If it works, it's fine. If it doesn't, it will be even more troublesome.
[You're not saying anything because you're afraid the President won't agree?]
【Given the General Consul's attitude towards you, you don't need to worry about this.】
"I'm not worried about that." Qi Heng interrupted A0 and said helplessly: "I'm just thinking about other things."
Worried that Chu Xiu would refuse? He had never considered this possibility.
Considering how obedient Chu Xiu was in front of him, if he really proposed it, Chu Xiu would definitely agree without any hesitation.
"It's only at this moment that I remember that you are not human."
It's embarrassing that AI doesn't understand this kind of thing, so it seems particularly innocent when it says it.
When Qi Heng heard this, he felt that he had dirty thoughts.
What are you thinking about? Tell me, and I might be able to give you some advice.
Upon hearing what A0 said, he immediately refuted it, fearing that he would receive suggestions from A0 if he was a step behind.
"——No, you don't have to worry about this matter."
It’s not that he reacted too strongly, but that A0 has a criminal record.
This guy is an AI who likes to collect big data. When he is undecided, he will actually go online to ask questions and collect suggestions from netizens. He can get away with it by just putting on a pseudonym and saying "I have a friend..."
Qi Heng was really scared. He didn't want to become famous on the Internet at all.
"Let's talk about the surgery this afternoon. Are you ready for the list I asked you to prepare?"
It is safer to let A0 do its job and less likely to be backstabbed by A0.
[Of course, the task you assigned me was completed long ago.]
[Based on the priority ranking, I have arranged a one-month schedule for you. Please take a look——]
A monthly surgery schedule appeared in front of him, and he used all his spare time to fill it up, even on weekends.
"Don't you think this schedule is too full?"
There was almost no extra rest time. Even though he always pursued progress in these things, was it a bit too much to push himself like this?
[It was arranged according to your request and is in line with your usual style.]
"Look at this arrangement. Do I still have any private time?"
[It's A0, not good. I forgot you had personal matters to attend to. Please change it immediately.]
I don’t know what A0 was thinking about. The schedule in front of him suddenly jumped, and when he refreshed it again, the arrangement on it was different from the original one.
Compared to the first version, we now have much more time to arrange it.
The arrangement of the rest time above looks familiar. If I remember correctly, Chu Xiu also seems to rest during these times.
But there are some differences, because in addition to the rest days that overlap with Chu Xiu, there are also additional free time arrangements.
He pointed it out.
You're talking about this.
【These times are convenient for you to visit the Chief Consul.】
[This arrangement was made based on your previous time with the Chief Consul.]
【Do you think something is wrong and needs to be modified? 】
Nothing is right.
Qi Heng was secretly complaining in his heart. He hadn't even decided whether to go find Chu Xiu, but A0 had arranged everything for him.
"Let's discuss the surgical arrangements."
Although escaping is shameful, it is useful. He doesn't want to face the question of "whether to go to Chu Xiu to ask for help" yet.
He needs to think about it again.
[So, does the schedule need to be revised? ]
【Return to the first version?】
"The first version."
In addition to being too busy to think about other things, it is also important to have as many male insects as possible who can use their mental power normally, especially male insects who have the ability to advance to a higher level of mental power.
How can we contribute to the revival of civilization without male insects?
Even though most of the work is done by female insects, the male insects also have heavy responsibilities and are an indispensable part of the reconstruction of Tianjia civilization.
