There are some things that might be somewhat joking in nature.
"Regarding the automaton matter, it seems it wasn’t a joke... Initially, to shape a race that would be affable to them, they tried many forms of mimicry, ordinary dolls, mechanical men, molds, but it was some humanoid forms that ended up working particularly well, don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about dolls, but humanoids, the otaku’s humanoids, assembly toys and girls’ dolls."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an took a moment to think, he realized that part of it must be a lie.
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
If "emotions" and "feelings" are indeed the nutrition for life in this world, then the effect of figurines and dolls shouldn’t be bad... but for certain dolls, there should be an overflow of emotions.
Probably because it really sounds bad to say out loud, they changed their statement or concocted some rumors in the end.
"...I will take it as the truth."
"It’s true!"
Su Yuanyuan was still trying hard to protect the dignity of her boss, but Lu Ping’an looked at her with a sympathetic gaze.
At this time, someone in the team asked to step forward.
The Panda and several male colleagues, excitedly took out a bunch of fanbooks and anime figures... During the long journey, men always need to find personal hobbies; compared to some people who solve their issues in the Red Lantern District, they are relatively innocent.
"....You guys were prepared?"
Two huge glass cabinets, these filled cabinets of beautiful girl figurines, obviously weren’t something that could be taken out on a whim.
Lu Ping’an sighed, but simply shook his head.
The provided materials were just physical templates, entirely different on the inside... just like if you use saber to make a figurine, it would definitely end up as an Evil God Figure, and the Evil God Figure will adopt new appearances, tentacle-like mimic hairstyles are the standard, even creating three-faced monsters is normal.
"If I’m not mistaken, such a construction takes longer for high level life forms, and is quick but unstable at the lower levels?"
Lu Ping’an nodded, and then shooed away those troublesome male colleagues... Isn’t this foolishness? If it could really "make wives real," he himself would watch; he had dismissed this idea from the beginning.
That which could be mimicked, was always just "the appearance", but Lu Ping’an’s conjecture also inversely proved that he was beginning to grasp the essence of this world.
"Eternal Moving Spirit, Constant Motion and Ten Thousand Spirits, indeed are two sides of the same coin..."
In his laboratory, there were already a large number of local life forms.
They, or rather, "it", included beasts, large dragonflies, and even humanoids; they had all completed the cellular level analysis, and at this time, Lu Ping’an’s Eye of Truth was more effective than any instrument.
A large number of staff were helping to test them, test their basic attributes, test their Talent Abilities, test those that are nearly identical on a single-celled genetic level, but once integrated to a certain extent, they become completely different species.
"The materialization of energy, or rather, the vitalization of high-energy materials..."
To some extent, the officials from the Eastern Country truly chose the most suitable researcher, only by reaching profound depths in both "Ten Thousand Spirits" and "Constant Motion" could one truly understand the existence of local life forms.
Other developers would probably only limit themselves to "this form of life is miraculous, they are absorbing more emotional factors", while Lu Ping’an could truly understand their essence and utilize it.
"It’s interesting, these lower life forms, are all just ’fakes’.... This plane is older than anyone anticipated, who knows how many ancient world legacies the upper layers have."
This is not merely mimicry, but a type of "copying", it’s the result of using one’s own basic particles to replace those of Foreign Domain life forms.
If Lu Ping’an is not mistaken, this isn’t the deliberate act of some being, but a fundamental rule of this world.
At the lower level, too many wandering particles exist, just like the existence of single-celled wanderers, they naturally try to aggregate, imitating the "stable structural modules" around them.
Just like a pile of building blocks that attract each other for the sake of stability and continuity, naturally, they will form some kind of shape. If there happens to be a blueprint there at that time, they will just copy it.
"Very worth researching..."
This, and the construction modules of carbon-based life forms, seem similar yet dissimilar; however, they appear to be different methods leading towards the same destination.
But their Evolution Speed far surpasses that of regular carbon-based species; they can mimic... but those bodies that grow too quickly become nothing but simple "dead flesh."
"Having Claws but no Wisdom, having wings but not knowing how to dance in the sky, having human forms but minds only capable of mechanical responses, and lacking ’useless emotions’..."
Lu Ping’an understood why, from the beginning, he just couldn’t grow fond of this world.
This is a "desert of emotions." If human emotions are the result of bioelectricity and chemicals, these beings initially lacked chemical secretions and bioelectricity.
The shells they mimic, even if they absorb parts from the Original Owner, are still just "external shells."
After all, at the fundamental particle level, they are Elemental Creatures, Energy Creatures, only because of this world’s special rules, they have a more direct material form.
"This is my ’proof’..."
Although it is a solitary example, and the product of the special rules of this world, at least here, Lu Ping’an’s "Eternal Moving Spirit and Ten Thousand Spirits have no essential difference; they are two sides of the same coin" is factual.
What is derived from this is material and Energy can transform into each other... This is not some incredible "Magic," and Lu Ping’an’s "Experience in two lives" easily verified this theory, the Otherworldly "Nuclear Weapons," whose principle is just that simple and crude.
Only, the energy transformation in this world is relatively mild; the intensity of energy transformation isn’t significant...
"Perhaps it is not that the lower planes are relatively mild, so, could I perhaps see it as a periodic table of Elements, where the lower particles are fewer, the higher ones more numerous, like the difference between iron and uranium, the latter having more energy after transformation. Doesn’t this illustrate the strength of higher-level life forms?"
On Lu Ping’an’s notebook, more and more of the "Taboo Knowledge" that only he could understand appeared again.
It had been a long time since the Taboo Knowledge level had advanced another step, having quietly reached the formidable level 40.
Perhaps in this aspect, he had already Transcended most Deity.
"In this case, can I see them as Iron Man, Steel Man, Uranium Man?"
Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but recall the fantasy novel’s magicians’ "dolls," or the modern technology of Iron Man, Robots, these biomimetic life forms, perhaps these are the closest to their essence.
They have human forms, but fundamentally they aren’t the same at all... Give machines more Knowledge and Experience, it’s still just "like humans" rather than human, it just follows certain rules, rather than "human nature."
"Actually, the origin of human nature is also something similar to animal instincts, the instincts to survive, forage, and seek mates..."
Looking at those ravenous car people, Lu Ping’an already knew what they truly lacked.
No matter how much music they listen to, how much emotion they absorb from it, it still isn’t theirs... they can’t understand the difference between life and Death, naturally cannot comprehend the fear of Death and the nobility of sacrificing one’s life for a cause; they lack the genetic exchange instincts of life forms, naturally cannot understand the so-called love that originally stems from chemicals and instincts.
Emotions originally might have been just instincts, but with the Evolution of the Races and the accumulation of history, animal nature transcends human nature. When intelligent creatures irrationally perform acts of "sacrificing one’s life for a cause" and "hurting oneself to benefit others," the beast becomes human.
This moment, Lu Ping’an also knew why he disliked the life forms of this place from the start.
"They are not even beasts, just a group of dolls mimicking people and animals. But..."
Such beings, if not for special circumstances, could never become Lu Ping’an’s "Trader."
Suddenly, Lu Ping’an had a plan, a grand plan that could change the entire Plane.
"... As the owner of ’Eternal Moving Spirit,’ perhaps I can create a true ethnic group suitable for this world, a Homo Sapiens belonging to Energy Creatures."
At this moment, the intuition of spirituality gave a prompt, him becoming the Creator would naturally take a further step, one that he previously dared not even imagine.
