Chapter 718 270: The Truth About Source Star_2

Additionally, all this is both the reason the Ghost Particle Communicator can send messages and why Source Star humans are subjected to forced hypnosis and limited biological clocks.

When people force themselves to stay up late, the brain is attacked by an information stream invisibly.

If the attack exceeds the load limit, a person's thoughts will ultimately implode instantly, leading to brain death and sudden death.

As for why hypnosis is necessary and why Source Star humans have shorter lifespans, Ren Zhong also found answers.

The background information stream steals the brain's computing power during sleep for some extremely complex computations.

When Source Star humans fall asleep, their brains do not rest; instead, the subconscious operates at high load continuously.

The brain only accounts for 2~3% of body weight, but it consumes 20% of the body's oxygen and energy.

To sustain the brain's consumption, the body is forced to overwork, manifested externally as premature aging due to exhaustion.

Ren Zhong suddenly realized that no matter which description of the fake history you follow, Source Star humans have never experienced natural death.

The cause of death for all seemingly normal old-age deaths is sudden death from overwork!

This is the same for both Citizens and Wildlings, without exception!

As to why ordinary people's brains are affected by the information stream but can only act as receivers and not transmitters, unable to perceive its existence clearly like Sun Ai or the Ghost Particle Communicator, and perform some control or external transmission of information.

The reasons may be twofold. First, ordinary people do not have Sun Ai's Legion Beast innate ability; second, the living mind's quantum storm has high overall cohesiveness, making it difficult to release information externally.

After completing these series of conjectures, Ren Zhong was both shocked and exhausted.

Though he couldn't prove it, these series of guesses explained much of his confusion, at least appearing logically reasonable.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Ren Zhong forced a smile, "Nothing. By the way, earlier, Sun Ai, you said you can feel the blood connection between us?"

Sun Ai nodded, "Yes."

"Based on what?"

"I don't know, just a feeling."

Ren Zhong speculated again, this should also be one application of information stream sensing.

"By the way, in your memory, there was a Mecha Warrior with the last name Ma..."

As soon as Ren Zhong asked, a fierce and painful expression appeared on Sun Ai's face.

"That vile guy, he deceived us! During the supposed negotiation, he suddenly launched an attack on us! We underestimated him, never thought he'd hold off all of us on his own. Then we... damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Her emotions suddenly lost control, small fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white, "Wait...here...this place..."

A moment later, Sun Ai suddenly sighed long and deep, "Never mind."

Ren Zhong asked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"That person is already dead. He... his descendants came here and established Starfire Town."

Ren Zhong: "Descendants?"

"Yes, I just hacked into the core brain of Starfire Town's government using the communication network you established, Uncle, and saw a lot of data. Unbelievably, such a person's grandson turned out to be a good person. His great-grandson is also a good person, and the great-great-granddaughter... well, is an interesting good person."

Ren Zhong caught onto another point, "Sun Ai, you can freely access the information network?"

"Yes."

Ren Zhong: "Our wrist watch monitors the 'net'..."

Sun Ai: "Uncle, do you want me to monitor the 'net' in return?"

"Yes."

"I can't. The wrist watch only has basic electromagnetic wave communications. The 'net' isn't hidden in the wrist watch; it just continuously collects information using the watch and other electronic devices, then summarizes it. The 'net' hides in its shell, using its massive computing power to calculate everything. The 'net' is an algorithm. If I can't break into its shell, I can't see it."

Ren Zhong frowned, "Only electromagnetic wave communication? Then why..."

"Uncle, you mean why can it transmit such realistic images?"

Ren Zhong nodded, "Yes, the games, movies, or virtual reality training in the hibernation space all have huge amounts of information."

Sun Ai succinctly said, "Local computation, compressed packet decoding."

"Hmm?" Ren Zhong: "I see."

"But Uncle, you don't need to worry. You can continue using the wrist watch."

"Why?"

"I can hear Dad and Mom's thoughts, but I can't hear yours, Uncle. Your brain is constantly deceiving the information stream, and your brain has infinitely vast computational power. Uncle, your thinking is different from Dad and Mom's and also different from ours. You're a real enigma."
