On a border planet of the Aberration Empire, the Aberration army to greet Li Yaofeng and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Today's Aberration Empire has become more and more like a real country rather than the original monster force due to the insignificant reforms, the formation of the government, and the awakening of the individual consciousness of the aberrations.

While the three of them were welcomed by the army and went deep into the empire, they each carefully observed the current situation of the aberrant empire.

On the border planet where the spacecraft landed, you can see that the surface of the planet that was originally covered by the sea of ​​blood has many identical aberration nests, and you can see aberrations coming in and out of them from time to time.

Li Yaofeng watched this scene from the observation deck of the spacecraft and thought to herself: "According to the intelligence, the original aberration empire was one body, and there should be no such residences for individuals to live in."

"All the troops are sleeping on the spot in the incubator, with no personal space, let alone personal time. The only purpose from birth to death is to dedicate everything they have to Our Lady of Xuhe."

"But now it seems..." Li Yaofeng's eyes swept over the deformed nests, and she secretly thought in her heart: 'The 'self' of these monsters is constantly awakening.'

At this moment, Qian Wangsun came over at some point, looked at the distorted land below the spacecraft, and said leisurely: "It is indeed a distorted empire with a strong collective consciousness. You see, their houses are all the same."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to be able to capture the distant scene in his mind: "Not only the houses, but even the clothes they wore were almost the same."

"It seems that although these aberrations in the Aberration Empire have awakened their self-awareness, due to the undercurrent of their souls, they naturally retain a collective thinking. It is really rare..."

Zidian Tianjun also came over and said after hearing this: "These aberrations in the Aberration Empire are used to living together, so isn't it normal for them to dress the same?"

Qian Wangsun glanced at her, smiled and said, "You rarely study mortals, right?"

Seeing the other party frowning, Qian Wangsun continued: "Since ancient times, in most intelligent civilizations, what to wear has never only represented individual preferences, but also represents the desire of individual consciousness to be different from the collective."

"In this process, there will even be a pursuit of rare and precious shapes. After the original rare shapes spread to the point of flooding, they will be gradually abandoned. This process continues to cycle, and then generates wave after wave of trends.

."

"In addition, many times appearance, clothing, grooming... are also related to power and even class in intelligent civilization."

"For example, in the ancient society of our Federation, various classes in the society had strict regulations on how to dress and dress. Color, length, pattern... These have become symbols of power and are used to maintain rule."

"But with the continuous awakening of individual consciousness, the level of self-awareness is getting higher and higher... In today's federal society, except for industries such as the military, most people can choose their appearance at will, but there are still

Information that will confer power, wealth and status.”

"The power that the clothing itself originally symbolized has been transformed into a right to define the level of clothing..."

Qian Wangsun smiled slightly: "I seem to have gone too far. Let's focus on the Aberration Empire itself."

Zidian Tianjun's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "You mean, do you think that because of the existence of spiritual undercurrents, the aberration empire still has a unified collective thought? It cannot truly produce the awakening of individual consciousness?"

"Maybe." Qian Wangsun sighed: "The undercurrent of the soul has given them a huge thinking network, allowing individuals far away to understand and feel each other in an instant. They who have no individual boundaries in the first place can share memories and

Emotion, which greatly reduces the cost of communication and cooperation."

"I heard that it only took their current leader a few months to convince the trillions of creatures in the entire aberration empire. Most of this time was spent on initial dissemination and fighting against other competitors."

"If it were done now, she would probably be able to make all the individuals in the Aberration Empire empathize with her in just a few minutes. This is something that most civilizations in the universe can do."

Zidian Tianjun asked curiously: "The Federation should be able to do it, right? Your quantum network should be functionally stronger than the spiritual undercurrent."

Qian Wangsun shook his head: "When the Federation developed the quantum network, the entire society was already extremely atomized. Even after the quantum network is widely used, people will still subconsciously maintain boundaries and privacy, rejecting memories and emotions.

shared."

"We have missed the opportunity to form a collective thinking network. It is impossible for the people of the current Federation to agree to build a thinking network like the Aberration Empire that can share cognition, emotions, and memories."

Zidian Tianjun imagined that his thoughts were integrated into the thinking network, sharing feelings and memories with others all the time, and he felt faintly uncomfortable in his heart.

Once memories, emotions, and thoughts can all be shared, won't the difference between her and others become increasingly blurred? It seems like a drop of water gradually melting into the ocean, and self-awareness becomes weaker and weaker in the collective thinking.

Zidian Tianjun sighed: "So, although the Aberration Empire has been reformed, it is still the same as before."

Qian Wangsun nodded: "What I worry about is that the longer time goes by, the more their thinking will converge, the innovation ability of the entire civilization will be continuously weakened, and the thinking will gradually become rigid, and even in the end, all individuals will form a collective consciousness and become a collective consciousness again.

Another Madonna of Xuhe..."

At this moment, Li Yaofeng pointed at a distinctive lair with various sharp patterns and said, "It looks like it will be different."

"With such a large number of aberrations in the Aberration Empire, there will always be some different individuals who have stronger self-awareness and want to be different from others."

"Yes, with enough numbers, differences and variables can always be born." Qian Wangsun looked at Li Yaofeng and smiled:

"Most of the individuals in a civilization are just to ensure the diversity within the entire ethnic group, so they must be well managed and appeased. Is this what Chu Qiguang said?"

Li Yaofeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "How do you know?"

Qian Wangsun did not answer, but sighed: "I just heard it from a friend. Maybe the federation just lacks some diversity."

Li Yaofeng looked at the other person's expression and always felt that there was some emotion hidden in the other person's eyes that he couldn't see through. He suddenly thought:

‘All the consciousness algorithms of the Federation have been transformed and have various good qualities. So...in this case...does it mean that the individuals of the Federation’s civilization lack some diversity? Is this what Qian Wangsun is referring to?'

He thought to himself: 'Maybe the transformation of the consciousness algorithm has disadvantages that we don't know about...'

After a while, they arrived at a palace that looked like it was made of flesh and blood.

Inside and outside the palace, aberrations with exactly the same appearance were wandering back and forth, and in the center, waves of blood seas emerged out of thin air.

A female figure walked out on the blood wave and said to the three of them: "My name is the Crimson Mother, and my sister asked me to entertain you."

Li Yaofeng remembered that the Crimson Mother was a high-level aberration of the Aberration Empire and one of the so-called 'Aberration Gods'. He had seen each other on the battlefield between the Third Cycle Federation and the Aberration Empire.

However, this time the Crimson Mother did not show the twisted and terrifying form on the battlefield, but instead transformed into a beautiful woman with red hair.

And judging from the other party's appearance and expression, the other party seems to have a strong self-awareness and self-awareness, or... very much like a human being.

At the same time, Qian Wangsun seemed to have a slight look of surprise in his eyes. He took a deep look at the Crimson Mother, but quickly shook his head and said coldly: "Why are you like this? You

Where did you know this appearance?"

The Crimson Mother covered her mouth and smiled, her red hair twisting like venomous snakes: "I don't know, it just turned into this naturally."

She twisted her body, walked slowly to Qian Wangsun, and said with a smile: "Am I very beautiful now? Am I in line with... your human aesthetics?"

Qian Wangsun turned his head and no longer looked at her, but said: "We are not here to discuss these irrelevant issues. Let's talk about the next issue of coins in the Aberrant Empire."

The corners of the Crimson Mother's mouth raised slightly, and a pair of captivating eyes seemed to exude infinite charm at this moment: "Those things are not urgent, but what you just said...is there anything special about my appearance?

?”

Qian Wangsun said calmly: "The three saints attach great importance to the future development of the Aberration Empire and will come in person soon. We are very pressed for time. If we fail to lay a good framework before their arrival, will you bear this responsibility?

"

The Crimson Mother's face turned into a lazy expression, she stretched to show off her beautiful figure, then she sat down on the chair, raised her slender thighs, and said casually: "Tell me what you are saying.

, I listen."

Li Yaofeng began to describe the policies formulated by the Alliance of Heavens against the aberrant empire.

Just listen to what he said: "...According to the discussion of the three saints...the future currency of the Aberration Empire will be anchored in the First Coin...and endorsed by the Ethereum Debt..."

"...The Alliance will support you with a large amount of Tai Debt... Tai Debt will be the basis for your future currency issuance... To put it simply, the amount of Tai Debt you master can correspond to the amount of currency you issue..."

Listening to Li Yaofeng's tirade, the Crimson Mother couldn't help frowning and said: "The Taiyi debt is a debt issued by Taishang Tianzun with the Xudao Palace as collateral, right? You gave us a bunch of debts and asked us to issue currency.

?”

Li Yaofeng said calmly: "Chu Coin is currently the hardest hard currency in the universe, and all transactions related to Chu Coin only accept the settlement of Shi Coin. At the same time, Shi Coin is also linked to Taiyi Debt, and the alliance produces large quantities of it every year.

of buying bonds to maintain their prices."

"Although Taipei debt is still a kind of debt in theory, it has a steadily increasing price and can be said to be a reliable asset that circulates in the world."

"You use Ethereum bonds as the backing to issue currency, and there is no problem at all."

"And this is the joint decision of the three saints, and no one can change it."

"I hope you can understand that the three of you are extremely gracious to allow you to issue your own currency. You'd better not be ungrateful..."

And while the Crimson Mother listened to Li Yaofeng's words, through the shared thinking senses of the undercurrent of the soul, a large number of aberrations in the aberration empire, especially the aberration gods, also heard the content of Li Yaofeng's words.

What follows is constant explanation, negotiation, and tug-of-war... Although the Aberration Empire has almost no contact with relevant content in the past, they are a group of people with extremely high intelligence, strong learning ability, and can share their thoughts through the thinking network.

Race.

As the negotiations progressed, Li Yaofeng could feel the Crimson Mother in front of her, or the Aberrant Empire was learning very quickly.

He felt like he was not facing the Crimson Mother alone, but rather he was facing the endless mountains and seas of different thoughts hidden in the other person's consciousness.

However, relying on the power of the Three Saints of the Heavens and the various preferential policies agreed upon by the Alliance of the Heavens, the negotiations continued to move towards completion in an unswerving state.

Time flies by. In the past month, apart from dealing with the Crimson Mother every day, Li Yaofeng's most interesting thing is studying the ecological environment of the Aberration Empire. He is very interested in the aberrations here.

"The situation here is very strange. The aberrations are more friendly than I thought. After communicating with the Crimson Mother for a month, I found that almost all the aberrations I could meet knew me and would even discuss currency with me.

Policies, discussing the future development of the empire, and discussing discrimination against aberrations in the known universe. Sometimes it even makes me feel that all aberrations are the same person..."

"But every time this time, the Crimson Mother will break my guess. She is different from all the aberrations I have met. Sometimes I will even communicate with her as a human being. I can be sure

She has a unique soul and will. Perhaps most of the aberrations are constantly assimilating to each other, but there will always be some unique souls..."

"The Aberration Empire is also very different from what I imagined before I came here. The empire provides free food and housing to all aberrations. Everything is distributed evenly according to the plan, just like they occupy the undercurrent of the soul..."

"So far, I haven't seen any fights or fights between aberrations here. It seems that the existence of spiritual undercurrents can resolve most of the conflicts. The aberration empire is unexpectedly peaceful. The life here makes me feel even

Even calmer than a big man..."

Just when Li Yaofeng was uploading what he saw and heard through the federal quantum network, Qian Wangsun suddenly stuck his head out from behind: "Are you reporting on your work?"

"That's right." Li Yaofeng turned to look at him. In the past month, he had not only become more familiar with the Aberration Empire, but he had also become familiar with Qian Wangsun and Zidian Tianjun who worked together.
To be continued...
