Vol 8 Chapter 380: Final research

In the world of collapse, the home of the drifters spent his last journey.
It has been wandering in this place for a long time, studying everything here, but it also found...some things here are studying it.
Although this is a collapsed void, there are actually a lot of biological activities in this place.
There are some creatures that seem to be more concerned about the home of wanderers, and these creatures are also called ‘remnants of consciousness’.
They are believed to be formed from fragments of consciousness remaining in the stellar pipeline.
The forms of these remnants of consciousness are different, but they also have a lot in common. For example, their bodies are a kind of aggregates, which are generally derived from common surrounding substances, such as rocks. These substances do not constitute any special organs. It is simply composed of a certain shape, and its body is attached to these polymers...consciousness.
This is quite similar to particle creatures and phoenixes.
However, this is only the case of a small consciousness remnant body. The larger the remnant grows, its structure is not a simple aggregate of the surrounding material fragments, but some...structures will grow.
Like a residual body that is more than ten meters in size, it may produce a'smashing device' in the body. It will use this structure to crush all kinds of things swallowed in the body, and then turn their debris into its own body... In fact, it is similar to the digestive organs.
At the same time, conscious remnants of sufficient size will begin to choose the substances that make up the body.
The larger they become, the more complex functions they will have. At first they were regarded as very small channels...or the earliest and most primitive channels, but in the process of exploration, the Home of the Wanderers discovered these remnants of consciousness. It will not grow to be as big as a pipe.
In fact, they are the largest, only a few hundred meters, which is far from the size of the pipeline.
Is it the special environment here that limits their size, or is there any other reason?
Consciousness remnants have another thing in common, and that is that they like to find...consciousness.
Many types of creatures live in the world of collapse, of course, there are also some intelligent creatures and civilizations, and they are usually the targets of the remnants of consciousness.
Consciousness remnants will attack any thinking creatures, not just intelligent creatures, as long as they have a brain-like structure that can do a certain level of thinking, they will be attacked by them.
But they are not eating parts of the thinking structure, but ‘extracting’ them.
Consciousness remnants have methods to extract all the data of a creature’s memory, personality, thinking style, etc., and then store them by themselves. Some remnants will kill the extracted creature, and some will keep the victim alive. But it will always cause great damage to the thinking structure of these creatures.
What's more amazing is that these remnants of consciousness don't use the thought data they collect.
These data have no influence on their usual activities, life-sustaining, or character behavior, which means that even if a remnant of consciousness does not collect any biological consciousness, it can live well.
But as long as they have the opportunity, they will try to collect consciousness.
It can also be said that these remnants are the enemies of almost all creatures in the world of collapse. Creatures in some areas have been chasing the remnants mercilessly, killing them to extinction, while in some areas, the remnants have become extinct. biological.
As a result, these residual bodies are also considered to be ‘mutilated pipes’.
Pipes have similar behaviors, but they will not cause any damage to the creatures whose consciousness is collected, and even those creatures don't notice that their consciousness is collected.
And these remnants have always been...mutilating their targets.
What are they...for?
Maybe their behavior is meaningless, or they may have some kind of ambitious goal.
The Doomsday Eye in the Drifter’s House has been observing the research of this place by the Drifter’s House, and told the information to the various creatures living in the pipeline.
These creatures don't have much...real feelings about the news.
Although it is something that the channel carrying them is doing all the time, these creatures feel that the things in the Doomsday Eye message are too far away and have nothing to do with them. They mainly care about their lives.
However, some creatures recorded the information.
As the home of the wanderers wandered around in the world of collapse, it found more and more things, including some... ancient ruins.
There are some peculiar things in many places in the world of collapse. This kind of thing is called ‘deeply buried giant’.
"Deep Buried Giant Monsters" are just like their names. They look like the corpses of some giant creatures. They are usually buried in larger land masses or in places such as the tumbling person's underground.
These things are generally hundreds of kilometers in size. After some local creatures discovered them, they gave them a deep buried giant... or similar names, and some local creatures began to worship the giant monsters, thinking this It is a masterpiece of ancient gods.
This is indeed an ancient masterpiece.
However, they are not ancient creatures or something, but a...signal transmitter.
Consciousness remnants will store the thought data they extract in a special form, which looks like particles of different shapes.
As for these ‘deeply buried giant monsters’, there are some internal devices that can analyze the data in this kind of particles. After the analysis is completed, it has the function of sending these data out to other deeply buried giant monsters.
These discoveries indicate that there was originally an ancient ‘system’ in operation throughout the collapsed realm.
After discovering these, the Drifter's House began to try to cultivate some remnants of consciousness.
It seems to feel that the residual body of consciousness may not grow so...perfect in the natural environment.
And under the cultivation in the pipeline, these residual consciousness bodies have indeed undergone some different changes. As long as they are given enough time to grow, they will grow some organs that cannot be grown in the natural environment.
After studying these special remnants, the Drifter’s House came to another conclusion.
That is the source of the overall consciousness of the stellar pipeline, which may come from the creatures in the entire collapsed world... at least most of the creatures.
The thinking structures of all creatures were merged together in some form, and this huge... creature was born.
However, this is also the last study of the Drifter House.
Because something has been ‘peeping’ at the home of the wanderer.
They also started to act.
