Chapter 30: Things about Humanoid Life (Thanks to Obeliska for the reward!!!)

"Are you talking about that weird school of mecha souls that claims that consciousness connection doesn't count as connection and that only soul fusion is the kingly way of mecha???"

Looking at the somewhat surprised Milo, the indicator light on the Alie flashed a few more times: "Yes, it is that outrageous machine soul school. Every gathering is like a sacrifice. By the way, they seem to have some connection with what you have been looking for."

"There's no connection, it's just a bunch of groundless rumors," Milo waved his hand, interrupting the metal plate. "Those mysterious guys always like to use big banners to add mystery to themselves, but what they say is not credible at all."

"What's this about the legacy of the lost? It's just a trick to raise your own status. Do you think I haven't checked such a conspicuous target?"

Ah Lie Lie shook his body, as if he was shrugging. "Well, their theory is a little unreliable, but you can't deny that the Machine Soul School does have something in terms of technology. Back then, there were several top mecha masters in their school who could be written into the Star Sea Monument."

"If you want to be controversial in the theoretical field, you must first have sufficient strength. Not many people will pay attention to those charlatans who have no ability at all. You have to admit this, right?"

This time Milo was silent.

Gu Wei listened at the side in confusion for a while, and when the two were silent, he asked: "Captain, what is the Machine Soul School that you and Mr. Banzi are talking about?"

Milo glanced at Gu Wei, then he remembered that there was a newbie at the scene, so he organized his words:

"This is actually quite complicated. If we want to fully understand the cause and effect, we must first talk about the life form. Gu Wei, I wonder if you have noticed a phenomenon, that is, many of the lives we have seen along the way are human or human-like in appearance?"

Gu Wei was stunned when he heard this, then nodded quickly.

He had been concerned about this issue for a long time, and even thought about it after realizing that he had traveled through time.

Although he had encountered some other forms of life on the planet Siqia, humanoid or humanoid creatures still accounted for a large proportion in general - of course, the humanoid here mainly refers to the shape rather than the specific number of organs. For example, some creatures with two or three heads or several hands can also be counted as [humanoid].

This is actually a phenomenon with a lower probability than "the universe is mostly carbon-based life" - the former is actually completely reasonable.

Because carbon atoms can form four covalent bonds, which is the largest number and has the highest degree of freedom, along with silicon-based life forms, there may be other forms of life such as silicon-based life in the framework of the entire universe, but the overall proportion of carbon-based life will definitely not be too low.

But human life is another matter, which is a completely different concept from carbon-based life.

"Life forms are a philosophical question, and even more a scientific mystery," Milo said with his hands behind his back, like a teacher, "Early in the pioneering era before the establishment of the Star Alliance, various civilizations have conducted in-depth explorations on this issue. Imagine that two civilizations separated by countless light years meet by chance and find that the other party is similar to themselves in form. How can this not arouse curiosity?"

"So some scholars speculated that there might be a rule in the universe, just like the universal gravitation makes most celestial bodies spherical and ellipsoidal, which guides the transformation of life forms." "After countless years of debate and research, the Star Alliance finally established a theory called cosmic holographic evolution as an official theory."

"This theory holds that there is a holographic spectrum in the universe. This spectrum is 'attached' to the universe in a special form and expands at the same phase velocity as the expansion of the universe. The phase velocity does not transmit information, but the information is projected onto the spectrum in the form of another group velocity."

"In this framework, genetic information is not just binary base pairs, but a more complex equation - every time a stage of the equation is deciphered, life will evolve to a higher level."

"At the same time, the solution at each stage is not the only solution, but an 'optimal solution' or an 'approximate solution' - that's why there are so-called humanoid creatures with more heads or more hands."

"As for where the map came from, that's another matter. We'll talk about it later when we have the chance."

"I see." Gu Wei nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Captain, what does this have to do with mechas? Wait, I think I understand!"

Gu Wei looked up at Milo and guessed, "Because most life forms are humanoid, so in order to adapt to the operation, the mecha is also designed according to the human form?"

"Congratulations, you got 70% of the answers right," Milo snapped his fingers briskly. "Mechas have actually gone through many rounds of revisions since their birth. For a while, they were even designed as spherical combat vehicles or waist-cut versions with only the upper body but no legs - because the designers believed that the lower limbs of mechas had no value to exist. The saying "legs are only valuable parts in mecha manuals" was once popular."

"But after experiencing actual combat, the designers discovered that although humanoid mechas with complete limbs have much higher requirements for material adaptation, they are much better than non-humanoid mechas in terms of center of gravity and control efficiency, and can better simulate neural signals. The official term is called self-organized criticality."

"Later, a highly efficient new energy source was discovered, and the energy consumption problem was solved. Humanoid mechas gradually became a trend. As for the other 30%."

At this point, Milo glanced at Ah Lie with a smile: "A complete humanoid mecha can be sold at a higher price. Those profiteers will not miss this opportunity. The ones who can manufacture mechas are all top financial groups with numerous connections. It is their specialty to take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the fire."

"." Gu Wei was silent for a while this time: "What about the Machine Soul School?"

"They are the crazy ones who don't agree with holographic evolution," this time it was A Lielie who took over the conversation, "They think holographic maps are nonsense. They don't conform to the theory of evolutionary efficiency at all. The internal organs of humanoid creatures are all facing the enemy. The weak point is just a few ribs in front, and the weak belly is even thinner. This is the most negative performance in terms of 'efficiency'."

"In comparison, most animals bury their bellies and use their stronger spines for defense. In terms of mobility, animals' quadrupeds are much more stable than humans' underactuated bipedal system. So if evolution is really based on the optimal solution, then the most suitable appearance for life should be a centaur, not a biped like you are now."

"So the people of that school changed their direction and started studying consciousness and soul. In the end, I don't know how they went off topic and claimed that the most perfect form of humans and mechas is to merge with each other and please each other. It's really crazy."
