Chapter 355 The Mystery of the Brain

After many years of development, the research of the original material by the Golden Tribe has reached a very high level. Millions of people have replaced their original physical bodies with mechanical bodies created by the original material, leaving only the brain and the body that delivers nutrients to it. blood.

And they have invented technology to continuously repair brain damage and aging, so that their brains will not speak old words and they can live forever.But the brain is still carbon-based and very fragile, which greatly limits the body's potential.

For example, it could fly faster and have more maneuverability, but the relatively fragile brain limits the acceleration and inertia.

The Golden Race people also want to solve this problem, using the original substance to create materials that can store the soul, but this is too difficult.

The core of mechanical life is this. Although the golden people have the brain core left by their soul ancestors, without doing destructive experiments, there is no way to know what it is made of, and it is protected by a solid shell.

Later, the golden family was divided into two factions. One was very conservative and believed that this kind of research should be continued and a breakthrough would be made one day. Don’t destroy the core. It is an orphan product. Once it is damaged, it will never exist again.

The other group is very radical. They believe that if they continue to study like this, they will never be able to discover the secret of storing soul matter. Only by opening the shell of the core and studying the matter inside can we make a breakthrough.

In the end, neither of the two factions could convince anyone, and a global war broke out in order to compete for the core.Although the number of people this time is far less than last time, both individual strength and technological level are far superior to last time.

The war is fought from the surface of the planet to space, space warships fire energy weapons at each other crazily, every day there will be broken warships falling, and it will cause huge damage to the ground.

In the later stage, nuclear weapons were used again, and the surface of the entire planet was riddled with holes, and it entered an ice age full of nuclear radiation, and the creatures became extinct again.

After paying a heavy price, the radicals finally obtained the core. They were not worried about the environment of the planet, and they were ready to rebuild the planet before launching the war.

They are all mechanical bodies, not afraid of the post-apocalyptic environment.After victory, the planet will be governed and offspring will be cultivated artificially, and the population of less than one million will be restored to several million.

The core research work also began. The outer shell material of the core is extremely strong. It uses the strong interaction force of atomic nuclei to reduce the distance between protons and neutrons, making the material denser.It has extraordinary physical properties. Not only is its hardness and strength beyond imagination, it is also extremely resistant to high temperatures and can withstand temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees without any change.

For the technologically advanced gold family, it is not a problem to launch a high-temperature attack of hundreds of millions of degrees, but the fear of destroying the materials in the core is not worth the loss.

So they can only desperately develop material technology, trying to create a substance that is harder than the core shell.After many years of hard work, the super energy field was finally used on the solid core of the gaseous planet, coupled with the high temperature and high pressure environment generated by the directed nuclear fusion technology, to produce an extremely dense substance with atomic nuclei.

This ability to change the form of matter at the microscopic level is so powerful that powerful weapons can be made from this material, and problems can be solved by physical strikes alone.

Using this substance, the Golden Tribe successfully cut through the shell of the core and saw the substance inside.But to their surprise, the various substances inside were all synthesized by them, but they were combined in an extremely complicated structure.

It is useless to know the ingredients. It is only successful to use various substances to build them according to the core structure at the molecular level, but this is even more difficult, and requires a higher level of research on microscopic substances.It's like knowing the composition of the brain, but you can't make the brain.

The brain of carbon-based life is extremely complex. Human beings can go to the moon, and little is known about it, let alone the much more complicated brain of mechanical life.

The main components of the brain are water, fat, and various proteins, all of which can be easily obtained, but it is conceivable that it is difficult to use them to form a fully functional brain.

The core part is naturally brain cells, mainly including neurons and glial cells.

In a person's lifetime, there are only the number of brain cells available at birth, about 120 billion.Bone, liver, muscle and other organs or tissues can recover quickly due to cell division and proliferation after injury, but brain cells cannot regenerate, so it is difficult for people with damaged brains to recover.

Brain cells are in a process of continuous death and never regenerate and proliferate. One dead will be one less, until it dies out.
