The text messages that shimmered out of the glass box were like black clouds, blocking out the sky and the sun.
When Butler Fan put the glass box on the table, the feeling of shielding covered most of the restaurant; in this case, the field of vision, let alone blind spots, directly turned into black vision.
Angel thought for a while and closed his eyes.
Two seconds later, Angel opened his eyes, and the text information around him was "refreshed" and disappeared. As long as Angel did not carefully examine the glass box, these unsightly black clouds of text would not appear again.
Not only Angel, but also Laplace and Morrigan clearly had the action of closing their eyes to "refresh".
Butler Fan, who was standing at the table, seemed to have foreseen this situation. After everyone had "refreshed" the information, he pointed to the glass box and said, "What is in this is a living creature of words."
The glass box is said to be glass, but in fact it is not transparent and is a bit like frosted glass. You can vaguely see the black shadow inside, but you cannot see everything exactly what it is.
As for the glass box in front of them, everyone could see that the lower half was filled with thick and quiet black shadows, as if it contained... soil?
The top of the soil is empty, at least no outline can be seen through the frosted glass.
Butler Fan opened the lid of the glass box in time.
After opening the lid, Angel saw, as expected, that the bottom was covered with thick black soil.
However, there is still nothing visible above the black soil.
Either the "living creature of words" mentioned by Butler Fan is a transparent existence, or it is hidden in the black soil.
If it were truly a transparent living thing, there shouldn't be a layer of soil underneath it, so Angel personally prefers it, and the answer is more likely to be the latter.
However, this glass box is not big to begin with, and the living text is still hidden in the black soil, so wouldn’t it be even smaller?
"Is it an insect? Or some kind of mini snake?" Angel thought to himself, and tried to penetrate the soil with his mental power.
However, before Angel's mental tentacles could emerge, he saw movement in the middle of the soil, and a pink silk thread exposed half of its head.
When he saw the pink thread, Angel was silent for a long time.
Not only Angel, but also Laplace was a little surprised.
Yes, this piece of pink silk thread is the literal living creature contained in the glass box, and it is not the insect or mini snake that Angel suspected, but an...earthworm.
The pink earthworms slowly stirred in the black soil, like mini earth dragons turning over, bringing up some fine dust and mud.
"Are you disappointed to see it's Earthworm?" Butler Fan's voice came to my ears.
Angel shook his head: "No, I just didn't expect it to be Earthworm."
Butler Fan smiled and said, "I chose Earthworms because I have just reached this point."
When Ea began to create textual animals, he chose relatively low-grade invertebrate animals. Starting from sponges and amoeba at the beginning, he gradually advanced to hydra and schistosomiasis. Now he has just crossed the line between linear animals and
Enter ring-shaped animals. The representative of ring-shaped animals is earthworms.
Therefore, even though what Butler Fan brought out was just a small earthworm, what it actually carried behind it were generations of spineless animals.
Today's earthworm is the latest product after many generations, and it is also the most advanced writing creature that Ea has studied so far.
After listening to Butler Fan's explanation, Angel looked a little surprised. He originally thought that Ea's creation of living creatures was similar to Grea's, which directly transcended countless generations and boldly entered the mysterious supernatural realm.
What I didn't expect was that Ea's creation of living creatures followed a progression theory from low to high.
Angel's expression was not concealed. Seeing this, Butler Fan asked directly: "Mr. Angel, are you surprised?"
Angel thought for a while and said: "In the Southern Region, there is actually a wizard who is good at creating things..."
Angel briefly described Greia’s situation.
After listening to this, Butler Fan nodded with understanding: "So that's it. Sir, he accidentally discovered the different ways of creating things."
After a pause, Butler Fan explained: "Actually, don't worry too much about these. If the wizard you are talking about is really a creature, then she has either been close to or even mastered part of the laws of creation."
"As for living creatures with words, they are not actually real creations. They are still far away from the laws of creation."
"After all, words are just words, and there is still a difference between them and real living things."
Butler Fan's explanation is actually indirect. In terms of "creation" comparison, the mysterious dragon cannot be compared with Greia.
However, they themselves are different tracks.
Greia is a real creation, a literal creation of Mysterious Dragon, more similar to a "virtual creation".
Butler Fan: "As for why living things with words choose to advance from generation to generation, it's because at the end of the day, living things with words... are still words."
"To use words to express meaning, you must use logic."
The logic of words will also be reflected in the text space.
If you want to create living creatures with words, you must follow the logic of words and write the advanced process step by step.
"As you just saw, the text information floating above Earthworm is like a black cloud. In fact, these text messages are not all describing Earthworm, but also its predecessors, those sponges, schistosomiasis... etc. Words need logic.
, Literary objects must also be determined based on logic. Without the benchmarks of predecessors, it will be difficult to write subsequent wonderful works.”
"Similarly, if our next text creation advances to squid, octopus and other molluscs, then there will be more text information on their heads, which must also contain information related to earthworms."
Words follow logic, and living things with words must also survive under the chain of logic.
After hearing this, Angel completely understood.
Everything in the text space is, to put it bluntly, logic, or an "algorithm". It is somewhat similar to an editing program. If the program needs to be run, it must be written according to the established algorithm.
The more difficult it is, the more complicated it is.
"However, the main body has begun to study ways to save the redundant description of large films." Butler Fan said this, pointing to the gloves that Morrigan had written before: "For example, this pair of gloves, if it is based on the original text description, it is also a pair of gloves.
Large articles can now be created with just one paragraph of text, which are similar research results.”
"I think Ms. Laplace will be familiar with this matter."
Butler Fan specifically named Laplace. As Aya's current incarnation, he knew that Laplace had come into contact with the initial version of the "Secrets in the Book".
Laplace also nodded happily.
Indeed, if it is the first version of "Secrets in the Book", if you want to create a pair of gloves, it will be difficult to create a pair of gloves without writing a long essay and starting from the beginning of the creation of the world and the sprouting of all things.
Nowadays, you can create something with just one sentence. This is the progress of Ea.
The creation of dead things can already be simplified; in the future, it is not impossible to simplify the creation of living things.
…
After Butler Fan finished describing the general situation, he placed the glass box in front of Angel and Laplace and allowed them to study it.
After Angel got out of the glass box, he looked at it carefully and found that the "text creation" was really interesting.
This kind of fun is not reflected in Earthworm.
But "black soil".
Because the information about this living creature was too complicated, Angel couldn't pry into it. He could only read other text information. As a result, he discovered the difference between "Black Soil" and "Black Soil".
The black soil in the glass box seems to be the same kind at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find two different descriptions.
One of the descriptions is: "Black soil: a special soil with good fertility that can promote growth..."
Another description is: "Fertile black soil: a specially made soil with signs of earthworm activity, extremely excellent fertility, and can promote birth..."
It is also black soil, but because the trajectories of earthworm activity are different, two completely different text messages are presented.
Angel also asked Butler Fan.
I learned from Butler Fan that in fact, the black soil at the beginning had the first type of written information. Later, with the migration of earthworms and their station in the black soil, part of the black soil began to change.
Yes, it was not Ea who took the initiative to change it, but the "program" in the dark that corrected itself.
Previously, when Angel described the smell of the saliva of Devil-eating Kao, the text information was also revised, but the correction at that time was to delete the extraordinary effect.
In a sense, it is changing for the worse.
But this self-correction is obviously a change for the better.
Even though it may seem like a difference of just one word, there is a huge difference in it.
Going wrong is because it has not reached this point yet and the internal logic cannot support it; but going good is a manifestation of self-improvement, which means that the logical chain is enriching itself.
If we compare it to one, it is a rigid program, and the other is moving towards an intelligent program.
This seems to imply a logic: if there are more creatures created by words, whether living or dead, then everything here will become more self-consistent due to the richness of the logical chain of words.
Isn’t this the evolution of AI?
Just because Angel discovered this, he became more interested in text creation... It would be great if a similar ability could be reproduced in the Dream Crystal.
I don’t know if the mysterious dragon’s “Book of Time” talent is a gift from the will of the world. If so, maybe it can trigger the experience copy? At that time, the “Secrets in the Book” can be derived through the Book of Time talent.
,Create text space...
Angel told Laplace his thoughts through the psychic tether.
Mainly, since Laplace knows the talent of the "Book of Time", he may also be able to judge whether this talent is a gift from the will of the world.
However, after hearing this, Laplace shook his head: "No, this belongs to the bloodline talent of the mysterious dragon."
In other words, all arcane dragons have similar talents. Although... there seems to be only one arcane dragon now.
When Angel heard this, he was slightly disappointed. It seemed that the idea of building a text space in the Dream Crystal Plain was not feasible.
However, just when Angel was sighing to himself, Laplace added: "Having said that, if you want to create a text space in the Crystal Plain of Dreams, why should you consider the talent of the mysterious dragon and directly change this painting?
, can’t we just drag it into the Dream Crystal Plains?”
Just like when Angel pulled the Rabbit Building into the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
Hearing Laplace's words, Angel was stunned for a moment: It seems to be right... Why are you just thinking about talents? Can't you use Dream Conch?
Angel slapped his head violently. It seemed that he had been observing the training dungeon before, so his mind was filled with the training dungeon and he had forgotten his "original intention".
Angel looked at Laplace: "How about asking Mr. Eya to borrow a painting?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes, but do you plan to tell the secret dragon about the dream conch?"
Angel fell into a brief silence, and finally shook his head.
Although Dream Crystal Plains did not use the Dream Conch too much, the importance of the Dream Conch will not diminish. Its importance is comparable to the Dream Realm itself.
He told Laplace about the conch dream because they trusted each other.
But Angel was reluctant to tell Eya, whom he had met for the first time.
Laplace: "I understand, I will handle the borrowing of paintings."
If Angel had gone there, Eya probably wouldn't have borrowed the money without getting to the bottom of it; but Laplace didn't have this problem. As the "teacher" Eya recognized in his heart, Eya would have doubts.
, will also respect Laplace's decision.
Angel thanked Laplace.
Laplace: "It doesn't matter, I also want to know if the space for words can be recreated in the Crystal of Dreams."
Laplace's eyes flashed with interest.
She is not very interested in creating text in the outside world, but if it is done in the Dream Crystal, then she will be very interested...
Everything in Dream Crystal Plains is a place of fun in Laplace's eyes. She is very happy to enrich the various "modules" of Dream Crystal Plains. This feeling of perfecting the rules and the world step by step is very important to Laplace.
This is also a kind of spiritual practice.
Even Laplace vaguely felt that whether he could break through the shackles would depend on the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
Because of this, it was impossible for Laplace to refuse Angel's proposal.
She even thought that if she wanted to borrow text space, she would need to borrow a larger one. This restaurant was really a bit petty... How about going to Eya to customize a text space that is larger and easier to use?
On the other side, Angel didn't know that Laplace had already thought of asking Ea to do "haute couture". He was still observing Kurotsuchi.
However, this time he did not just observe, he also did some other small experiments.
Angel used a stack of white paper to write down various nutrients, and through step-by-step textualization, he finally mixed them into a plate of high-quality fertilizer.
He plans to add fertilizer to the black soil and see if the text can be automatically corrected through this external addition and interference.
Following Angel's series of operations, the black soil really changed.
