Chapter 005 The only one in charge
"Why did you choose me?"
During the conversation, this question was impossible for him to ignore. He would not believe that the facts were so simple, everything had a purpose, and it was always like this: pay the price in exchange for a more suitable result. This is true for humans and Zergs, and she could not have spared no effort to save him.
"It's not me who chose you!" she emphasized, "It's you who meet my choice criteria, and I'll shape you. You have reversed the order of cause and effect, and it's you who chose yourself!"
"But I'm different from you." Hu Yi said that he was a human being - at least once, and she was the leader of an unknown race, and the two had no connection.
"You no longer belong to human beings!" Her voice was filled with emotions, like the waves that were constantly rippling by the strong wind. Her emotional fluctuations could even affect Hu Yi's soul world. "You can control our ethnic group, you can apply your will to every carrier, you can achieve synchronous communication with the ethnic group, and you can even use your creativity to create a stronger and more effective carrier."
Her emotions then calmed down and said, "This is the leader of the race! If you are just a human being, can you do this?"
Hu Yi was speechless.
"You are mine, you can't leave me, nor can you." She said gently again. Hu Yi thought to himself that if she could touch her, the most vivid action now was to reach out and brush his face.
But Hu Yi smiled and said stubbornly: "This is not necessarily the case."
"If I die, you will die!" she said confidently, "If the carrier keeps dying, your strength will be lost little by little. The instinct of the leader will make you do the right, right, and consistent with the development of the ethnic group, rather than thinking like an immature toddler."
Her personality looks gentle and obedient at first, but in some aspects she is aggressive in seeing through everything.
"What if I die?" he asked a sharp question.
She remained silent.
"I will die, too," she admitted.
He laughed again. She couldn't control him firmly. On the contrary, the two of them stood in an equal position and could not control each other. He was about to leave, and no one could stop him.
She suddenly stopped talking and ignored him for a long time. Although she couldn't see it, she looked like a human girl who lost her temper. A scene flashed through Hu Yi's mind: she turned around and ignored the source of her anger and anger, and might even curse him in her heart. And he was embarrassed for a long time. It was his fault. He always judged others by himself. Since he was betrayed, he has been unable to believe anyone anymore.
"Hi!" He broke the silence, "I'm sorry, there are always some upset things that are active in my mind, and I can't help but say some annoying words..."
Why did he bother her? Not only did she save him, she also gave him a new life and gave him a stronger power than before. Although they had no more than an hour of contact with each other, it can be seen from the so-called carrier, that is, the alien, that this race is very powerful, just like the chaotic race that creates disasters in the novel.
"Time will make you realize everything." She said slowly, "it will make your immature brain mature; it will make your words and deeds more in line with a leader; it will make you do everything that is beneficial to the race. You cannot refute it, because there is nothing else to accept you except here. Your undescending remnants trap you in the camp of humanity, and you want to reintegrate into their circle of life - but they will regard you as an alien, they will fear you, and therefore will try every means to eliminate you!"
"Maybe, but I owe you what I owe you." Hu Yi admitted that what she said made sense.
"You don't owe me." She denied, "You are the hope of leading the development of the ethnic group and thriving. You don't owe anyone. If you really want to count it, you should owe the goddess."
"Is your religion a goddess?" he asked.
"Religious belief?" She was puzzled by the word, "We are grateful to her. After her consciousness dissipates, her body allows us to digest it, grow stronger and stronger. The mother insect will become a good goddess, but her life cycle is still very long, and she is still tirelessly serving the ethnic group."
"Oh." He glanced at the "goddess" mother worm, half-understanding, "Can you tell me about the so-called 'carrier' thing?"
"As a leader of the race, you have an obligation to understand everything." She said happily, "The carrier is the basic unit of ethnic activities. The carrier in a broad sense is any racial life except the leader. The carriers mentioned so far have extremely strong reproductive ability, strong environmental adaptability, and can constantly undergo mutations to improve themselves. Of course, the leader can also allow them to absorb any favorable genes in the expected direction, evolve into higher-level species, and have stronger comprehensive abilities."
"Can you control their evolution?" Hu Yi asked.
"Yes, but it takes a transitional cycle," she said. "Time varies, it's probably a small cycle, equivalent to the six days defined in your head."
She continued: "While the juvenile period of carriers is extremely short, they can quickly replenish nutrients and transition to adulthood, and have enough ability to carry the will of the leader."
"This is why my consciousness can enter the alien body?"
"Alien?" She didn't know the word, "What you mean by 'Alien' is a carrier that I was rushing to assimilate human genes and evolved incompletely. They are still weak, but I don't have enough time to mutate them. The carriers in adulthood can accommodate your divided consciousness and synchronize with the consciousness of the master."
"Oh, then how many aliens can I control at most?"
"This... has no specific restrictions." She thought for a moment, "but according to my scattered memories, the most powerful master in the history of my clan can be dispersed among the carriers of one billion units."
"Billion?" Hu Yi couldn't imagine that he was already a little overwhelmed by controlling the four aliens just now, and the limit could actually be expanded to this astronomical number?
Even if you just count the row of zeros behind it, it will be dazzling!
Think about it, one billion aliens are controlled simultaneously by him, that is, one billion themselves! If the picture seen by the eyes is converted into a video file, it is probably possible to generate hundreds of trillions of megabytes of information in one second. And a leader needs to control hundreds of millions of units to do something - such as attacking a planet?
He seemed to see the torrent of darkness sweeping across the earth, unstoppable.
Hasn’t he always been obsessed with being betrayed? The huge carrier will form the most powerful combat power. No one can ignore this power. He can even make those who used him, regarded him as a weapon, and abandoned him after being worthless!
And this race can become his tool for revenge!
She seemed to know what he was thinking, but she did not continue at this point, but instead continued the topic just now: "But not every master can achieve it. Generally, adult masters can control hundreds of millions of units of carriers at the same time, while precisely controlled units only reach the level of 100,000."
"How long does it take to be adulthood?" He couldn't wait.
“One to five big cycles, one big cycle is about five years for humans,” she explained, “and it’s not easy for you to do it at the moment.”
"It's not easy. I feel that controlling ten is the limit." He tried quietly, and his consciousness spread out and could turn into ten aliens at the same time. However, if he wanted to continue, he would feel tired and unable to do so. If he wanted to reach the level of hundreds of millions, if it weren't for her affirmative tone, Hu Yi would think it was a joke.
But once it is possible, he will try his best to do it, and there is never any difficulty that will make him lower his proud head!
"You used the wrong method," she said. "You can't force precise control of each carrier from the beginning, which will continue to increase the burden on the brain and not achieve the effect it should have."
"What should I do?"
"You first focus on one carrier, and then spread out with this as the center point, so that its brain can help you synchronize other carriers. Be careful not to concentrate one by one, which will make you habitually implement precise control of them. When you find that you feel extremely clear, you will immediately retract that consciousness."
"That would be very uncomfortable," he said.
"You have no choice!" she said, "What is extremely clear is precise control, as if the same self is synchronous control, pay attention."
She taught patiently, and Hu Yi was also learning at the same time. He only focused on one alien, and then used the brain that was not well-developed in the alien to spread this consciousness. The brain carrying the carrier infected one, two... ten, twenty. When he continued, the other feeling became clear again, as if he had two selfs.
"Cut it off." She calmly reminded.
He tried hard to cut off another precise consciousness, but it was not simple. It was like killing his living self with his own hands. His mind was dizzy and he was too heavy.
"Do it again!" she said.
"No, let me continue!"
But he supported himself with his firm will and continued to spread his consciousness with the only self as the center. Gradually, he saw many different scenes. He made them move, and even let the aliens line up and dance in the cave, causing the two aliens to stage a confrontation of speed and dexterity... And not only the aliens, but also the engineers turned with his consciousness.
Before she was proficient in cutting off the connection with the carrier, every step was extremely painful. Even she could not continue at all times. However, Hu Yi was like a numb and ignorant puppet. Thinking about it, it was very difficult to do it, she sighed that she was not as good as in this regard.
But this is a good thing. Whether the leader is strong or not depends on his willpower. Hu Yi is now far beyond her expectations.
He was too focused to hear her.
When she refocused her consciousness on the alien, her voice continued to come: "You were too forced to yourself just now, but the results were surprising. You could actually support more than 300."
"Only three hundred?" He was a little disappointed. When will it reach hundreds of millions?
"Three hundred is already the top level! Not all the masters can achieve it in the first test. Taking three hundred as the base, concentrating one hundred carrier units can enable you to drive nearly 30,000 carrier activities. Do you still think this is a small number?"
It turned out to be a calculation method of multiplication, and then three hundred is not a small number. Hu Yi felt a little comforted in his heart. He had lived for more than 30 years and there were few things he could not do well.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Nearly five hundred units." She said, although she maintained a normal tone, Hu Yi could feel that she was proud of her.
Hu Yi couldn't help but feel happy. Putting aside the firmness and understanding everything, she was more like a show-off girl in this regard. But he also knew that five hundred could not be the result of the first test. According to the standard of 100 million adulthood, 100,000 precise units are needed, and each precise unit must drive at least one thousand affiliated units. At present, he is 300, which is still far away from this number, but he is not short of time.
"There is a problem." The alien was lying comfortably on the ground. He was really tired just now, not the body but the brain. "How many leaders can there be in a group?"
"One." she said.
"Only one?" He was a little incredible. Why are there two now?
"The master is the huge consciousness body that has been released from **. Strictly speaking, you and I are only one - if I die, you will die; if you die, I will die."
He was silent for a long time.
"Thank you." He said sincerely, indeed from the heart. What a leader means to a group, he has learned through brief contact, and she can share her life with him. He doesn't know what to say except gratitude.
She didn't say anything, but he could feel a warmth in his body.
