Chapter 370 Being Eaten

"Does the feeling of danger still exist? Is this Gaia creature pretending to be mentally retarded? Is it paralyzing us and trying to give us a fatal blow?"

On this day, Yu Yifeng was discussing dangerous issues with others on the "Titan" ahead.

"Theoretically, this is unlikely. Judging from various manifestations, its self-awareness is indeed at a very preliminary stage, and it is constantly absorbing our social knowledge... Could it pretend to be so similar? The possibility is very low... …”

"And it has opened up the ocean to allow our submarines to explore at will. If it really does something in the deep sea, it will be detected by our submarines..."

Hearing this, another military expert immediately shook his head: "Not necessarily, the ocean is so big, there will always be some forgotten corners, and it is difficult for us to monitor all aspects..."

Everyone discussed it for a long time and couldn't explain why.

And Yu Yifeng was also thinking hard. Time passed day by day without any crisis recruitment... This was simply incredible!

Could it be that his sense of danger was misplaced? !

After hearing everyone's various opinions, he waved his hands and said: "I always feel that the source of danger is not Gaia's creatures, but other things... Of course, the risks it brings cannot be eliminated. We must maintain Be extra vigilant.”

Now, people's large-scale education plans are being implemented very smoothly, and they have moved from video information bombing to "beach projection".

With the infusion of a large amount of human social consciousness, this algae collective gradually became familiar with humans and even began to interact closely, something the Dige people had never experienced before.

In order to speed up education, people simply projected all the "Golden Coast" in Noah onto the beaches of Planet Dig 114, allowing it to "touch" human society.

Many adults and children are playing happily on the beach. Of course, these are all 3D holographic images produced by machines, but they are enough to train and influence "Gaia creatures"...

Next to the beach, a human-looking robot is specially equipped and is playing with "Gaia creatures".

The flashlight in its hand emits a beam of light from time to time. Whenever it shines into the sea, the algae will change color in response.

With such a simple action, it seems to be having a lot of fun.

"This creature has been watching on the beach, and sometimes wants to play with the image of a child. How about pretending to be so similar? I think... it is unlikely to be disguised."

This time it was Dr. Rimbaud who spoke. As a member of the government think tank, he looked at the various materials in his hands, lowered his head and said, "And I just received a new video, which is very interesting. You can refer to it."

There is no gravity inside the "Titan" spacecraft. At the beginning, the designers once mentioned that a large ring-shaped structure could be used to rotate and generate centrifugal force to replace gravity.

However, that design increased the difficulty of manufacturing and also reduced the combat effectiveness of the spacecraft, so it was rejected by the military.

Things that are too delicate are always more likely to make mistakes of one kind or another. "Titan" is a spacecraft designed specifically for combat, not for comfort, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.

So now, people generally use the electromagnetic force of power armor to replace gravity. Of course, since there is suitable breathable air inside the spacecraft, there is no need to wear a helmet. Everyone looks like they are wearing a suit of metal armor.

Dr. Rimbaud clicked on the information, and a video played on the screen in the middle of the table: "It's a video of a group of plankton preying on marine algae."

But when the first scene was broadcast, Yu Yifeng rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Yes, he read it right. The algae in the ocean are being preyed upon by other creatures!

They are a group of plankton of different shapes, some large and some small, wrapped in various strange capsids or chitin, and they are feeding on marine algae. Whether it’s phytoplankton or a bunch of it, it’s a joy to eat...

But Gaia's creatures completely ignored them and showed no signs of resistance!

In just a few minutes, less than half of the algae was eliminated. Then the creatures became full and scattered.

"Has it been eaten? Has the intelligent algae been eaten?" Security Minister Xu Yunjin was stunned. This video was beyond his imagination and he didn't know what to say.

An intelligent creature actually allows other creatures to eat itself. What is this?

"Is this... a biological weapon specially designed to suppress it? Has it been developed?!" Xu Yunjin thought of an idea and immediately said in surprise. If such a thing is really researched, then... Gaia's creatures will suddenly become much less dangerous!

Hearing what he said, everyone was startled and looked at Dr. Rimbaud. Many people still had doubts in their eyes.

"No, no, no, everyone has misunderstood. This is just an ordinary plankton. There are already millions of ordinary organisms!"

Dr. Rimbaud quickly shook his head and asked everyone to give up this idea: "How can biological weapons be developed so quickly?"

"Everyone needs to know that no matter how intelligent these algae are, they are producers in the food chain... and these plankton that feed on algae are just an important link in the ecological chain..."

When everyone heard that these were just ordinary creatures, their faces showed confusion.

Dr. Rambo continued: "I think there are two reasons for this phenomenon. Either this Gaia creature cannot sense that it is being eaten, just like the mites on our face. In fact, they are secretly eating our skin, but we cannot feel it..."

"This situation is unlikely, right? Its microscopic control ability is at the nano level... How could it not know that it is being eaten?" Yu Yifeng frowned and retorted.

"Yes, that's right... So the second possibility is most likely... Its temper is better than we thought! Or... As a natural producer, it thinks that being eaten is no big deal, that should be the case." Dr. Rambo spread his hands, as if to show that no matter how people question it, the fact is this.

Yu Yifeng sighed and said thoughtfully: "It has to be said that this is completely different from our thinking. If there is something eating us, we would have killed it long ago!"

"But according to some views in cosmic sociology, the innate thinking of these producers is different from ours, and their ideology is also soft, so they should not be too aggressive..."

"So I think... its huge aggressiveness at the beginning was completely misled by the Dig people! God knows what the Dig people learned from their intrigues all day long... Maybe it thought that dropping a nuclear bomb was a greeting?"

This made everyone ponder, and many people were full of doubts. How could they allow themselves to be eaten?

It's too exaggerated. Isn't this creature too big?

If it doesn't have self-awareness, it's okay, but now... many people feel a little difficult to understand.

Although new algae are reproduced every moment, they are also eaten every moment...Is this a means of metabolism?

But it seems to be true...If the algae do not allow themselves to be eaten, there will be no producers in the sea water, and the entire marine ecosystem will have collapsed long ago.
