Chapter 550: It's essentially a repeater
"It has a strong learning ability and may even have a certain logical thinking ability. It can analyze and summarize human body language by itself and make inductions and generalizations, and it uses it with almost no errors. This is very exaggerated..."
"At least there are no such creatures on the Blue Planet. Even the cephalopod octopus, which is known for its ability of 'conceptual thinking', cannot reach this level..."
"In fact, its tentacles scare me..."
"No, its tentacles are very different from those of the octopus on the Blue Planet. They are just similar in appearance. After preliminary testing, it should have a very exaggerated number of neurons. However, as Alpha provided, it has no brain, or we cannot observe its brain."
"Unobservable? What do you mean?"
"Don't forget, there are spirit particles in the Guixu Realm, which are more difficult to observe than light. This is still a relatively concrete thing. If it is something like incense, merit, heavenly way, cause and effect, karma, and calamity, it is even more abstract, abstract to the point of absurdity. With the current scientific and technological means and civilization progress of the humans on Blue Star, it is impossible to observe it."
"so?"
"So if it has parts that we can't observe with conventional means, such as souls that ordinary people can't see with their naked eyes, it's hard to determine whether its brain - or the nerve center that acts as a brain - exists or whether our abilities are limited and we can't observe it."
Professor Wu's brows furrowed as he spoke. "From my personal understanding, I find it hard to imagine a creature that can classify, process, and provide feedback on a lot of information from the objective world without a 'center'... It should and must have one."
Professor Wu is the most authoritative professor in the project team in biological research. He doesn't talk much, but once he speaks, he is often very persuasive. So when he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent, with only the whispers of some students listening in the corner coming vaguely.
"Then maybe we can change our thinking,"
Professor Xiao Wang once again made a surprising statement: "It's time to give up the pride of being the master of Blue Planet. Let's change our perspective and assume that the race or civilization behind it is a higher existence than the civilization of Blue Planet. Then we can reverse the process... I mean, let it learn our language."
Someone questioned: "But it has no sound structure."
Wang Qiqing shrugged slightly. "Then it can learn words or body language. And even if it doesn't have a vocal structure, it doesn't mean it can't make a sound. We can make a tool to assist it in making sounds, to help it 'speak'... There is such mature technology on Blue Star. In Guixu Realm, there should also be a breakthrough using psychic technology."
Unexpectedly, the first person to agree with Wang Qiqing's ideas was Professor Wu.
"It's been a long time coming, but Professor Xiao Wang is right. Perhaps we can consider letting it learn our way of communication. At least considering the friendliness it has shown so far, it shouldn't be a problem."
After assessing the possibility, the biology expert sighed and added, "After all, rather than coldly studying its biological characteristics, it is better to prioritize exchanges and communication. We...cannot easily make a wrong move in this opportunity."
Just as the project team was meeting to discuss three simultaneous plans, by coincidence, the Jade Emperor and Zhao Qing were approaching Big Eyes, trying to teach him how to read.
However, this non-systematic teaching method did not start with pinyin, but was taught by two people based on their own ideas and words.
At the beginning, the two of them only tentatively taught Big Eyes some words that are touchable or real objects, such as sun, table, bed, and water. The two of them soon discovered that Big Eyes could not make sounds, so they felt a little disappointed. They changed their teaching method to simply teach Big Eyes to distinguish the meaning of these words, without expecting him to express them.
However, unexpectedly, after looking at the two of them blankly for a while, Big Eyes stretched out his tentacles and touched their throats and the outside of their ears.
It is difficult to describe the feeling. Big Eyes' tentacles are not as slippery and sticky as imagined octopus tentacles, nor do they have suction cups. Instead, they have a cool, rubbery, slightly bouncy touch. If one must make an analogy, it might be more like a snake, which makes Zhao Qing always feel as if she is being strangled.
After Big Eyes touched the two people, its entire skin suddenly underwent a strange "molting" or "falling off".
Its skin was like a cracked wall, and a layer of it fell off one by one. Then its appearance changed. For example, its neck became much longer, and ears actually grew on both sides of its head.
The ear is a bit scary. There is no external concha, but two small black holes.
Then, it brought a surprise to both of them.
"Sun, water, bed..."
A strange, shrill, and even somewhat harsh voice was heard. Although it sounded inhuman, it was not a mechanical voice, but rather a parrot-like voice, with a short rhythm and stereotyped pronunciation.
But Big Eyes did simulate the vocal structure, and actually said the words that the Jade Emperor and Zhao Qing had just taught him!
"Oh My God……"
The Jade Emperor was stunned and could hardly believe it all.
Zhao Qing was equally shocked, and even couldn't help but feel extremely panicked.
The creature Big Eyes is so powerful that it treats the Nine Nether Demon as food. It is also very smart and can actively learn the language and activity habits of another biological civilization system. What's more terrifying is that it can even transform itself into a completely unfamiliar creature!
Although it doesn't look very similar, it can actually make itself closer to humans!
Even though Zhao Qing couldn't react for a while to the difference between Big Eyes' mimicry and the illusion magic of the Guixu Realm, she still subconsciously felt fear and terror.
"Oh My God--"
The next second, Big Eyes used his strength to kick away Zhao Qing's sudden fear.
Like a babbling baby, it imitated the tone and intonation of the Jade Emperor and reproduced his subconscious exclamations. Apart from the strange tone, it seemed as if it was deliberately making fun of him!
"Hey, no, Big Eyes, don't imitate me!"
The carefree emperor was confused at first, and then he couldn't help but condemn Big Eyes.
Not surprisingly, Big Eyes happily repeated the emperor's words.
"Wow! Are you essentially a parrot? You keep imitating me!"
"Wow! Are you essentially a parrot? You keep imitating me!"
Very good, even the tone is exactly the same.
“Puff——”
Zhao Qing laughed out loud, but Big Eyes obviously didn't intend to let her go -
“Puff!”
The pronunciation sounds very standard, even better than that of the hosts on Blue Planet!
