Without any natural enemies, coupled with the vast expanse of space and almost infinite resources, the number of collectors has been unprecedentedly expanded. Even if you look down from outer space, you can see that group formed with the blue ocean on the sea. Contrast stains.

　　 From the perspective of quantitative expansion, the original collector's goal was indeed achieved.

　　Reproductive collectors have their own reproductive ability and long-term memory ability. The former is achieved after genes are modified and optimized into chromosome structure, and the latter is written into genetic memory as genetic knowledge.

　　The most important point is that they inherit the concept of the original individual'I'.

　　 However, this is not the end, it is just a beginning that is so simple that it cannot be simpler, just like one plus one equals two in mathematics.

　　 From the ‘tool’ to the ‘life’, it is necessary to face some problems that have not been faced as tools, and these problems have become more and more prominent with the surge in the number of collectors...

　　 Although obvious patterns can be seen in the universe, when you zoom in, you will find that the distance between the collectors is still quite wide.

　　The distance between them is about 100 meters to 50 meters.

The loose distribution of 　　 ensures that every collector can get enough organic matter as food in the corresponding water area to maintain his own life activities.

　　 Two collectors, separated by about 73 meters, communicated with each other through the life field. It should be said that this is the first time that the communication has been realized, and the speech of both parties is very jerky.

"who are you?"

　　 "I am a collector, who are you?"

　　 "I am also a collector."

　　 There is no awkward chat at all. The point is that they don’t seem to think it’s an awkward chat yet, so they keep a conversation that is different.

　　 At this moment, the new individual began to imitate the two collectors in a way, and also used the life field to join the topic of the two.

　　 "No, I am the collector..."

　　 "Who are you?"

　　 The two collectors who were still talking awkwardly just now transferred the object of communication to this third party, and chatted with each other.

　　 With the first individual to imitate, there will be a second, a third... and then all individuals have this ability.

　　 This is ‘learning’. Based on the ‘I’ they have been able to subjectively learn knowledge from the outside world and take it for their own use.

　　 More and more individual collectors have joined the communication and jointly formed a noisy and lively network channel based on the life field.

　　 The only pity is that the topic of conversation is not very good...

　　 "You are all wrong, I am the collector."

　　 "No, you are wrong, I am the collector."

　　 "Why do you all like to think that you are me?"

　　 "What is a collector? Can I eat it?"

　　...

　　 This kind of noise lasted for a long time, until finally there was an individual who couldn't bear it. It was the individual gatherer who first awakened from the ice and awakened the concept of ‘I’.

　　 "You guys give me almost a little bit!"

　　 is much stronger than the powerful life field of other individuals, covering all the life field signals of the collector individuals with high power, and will not be converted into uninterpretable noise.

　　 All the individual collectors shivered and shuddered in the face of this absolute threat.

　　 Seeing that all the collectors in the channel were silent, at first the individual was very satisfied with the influence he showed.

　　 However, the problem of addressing each other does exist. The hustle and bustle in this channel is not without reason. At first, the individual was quite aware of this.

　　 First of all, first explain the definition of ‘gatherer’ clearly.

　　 "Your questions, I will answer your questions..."

　　 Initially, the individual gave answers while organizing the language.

　　 "The collector is the name of a species. It is you and me. It is the name shared by our entire population. It is the meaning given to us by the Supreme Will. It is not, and definitely cannot be an individual name exclusively for you. Do you understand?"

　　 There was no answer from the individual collector. After the initial individual finished speaking, there was deathly silence in the channel.

　　 "Why don't you talk anymore?"

　　 After hearing the initial urging of the individual, the individual gatherers mustered the courage to reply.

　　 "Ming, understand..."

　　 "How to solve the problem of title?"

　　 "Do you already have a way?"

　　 "If'gatherers' are not used, what should we use?"

　　 Faced with this one after another inquiries, at first the individual gave answers that had already been prepared.

　　 "So, we can give ourselves a name, as our exclusive name, the difference is the independent will of our different individuals of the same kind."

　　 This scheme can be said to be quite epoch-making. It is like in the era when knots were still used for counting, someone first proposed the concept of four arithmetic.

　　 A bunch of collectors whose IQs are not even reachable by children. From their point of view, the proposal originally proposed by the individual is quite ‘sci-fi’, and the shocking feeling is unprecedented.

　　 "Really, it's amazing!"

　　 "The problem was solved instantly, so smart!"

　　 "Powerful!"

　　 Noisy voices echoed throughout the channel again, but they basically praised the initial individual's words. Initially, the individual felt very useful, so I did not reprimand the individual who made the channel noisy again as I did last time.

　　 "Then who should start first?"

　　 A certain individual gatherer suddenly asked this question, and instantly it had the same effect as the original individual’s ‘forbidden’, but this silence was temporary.

　　 "I'll come first."

　　 "You go, obviously I am first."

　　 "No, I am coming."

　　 The dispute reappeared, and at first the individual knew that it should speak again to put an end to the noise.

　　 "Okay, don't make any noise."

　　 "Since I proposed the plan, I will naturally come first."

The 　　 channel returned to silence, and all the collector individuals were waiting for the original individual to follow.

　　 "As another individual thinking after the disappearance of the Supreme Will, I should assume the responsibility of the Supreme Will and find a way for the race to survive..."

　　 "I know that I have limited abilities, and I don't have a huge body or unmatched strength, so I chose this path. The more individuals of the same species, the greater the survival probability of the race..."

"When the enemy will come back to destroy us is unknown. It seems to be very peaceful now, but that day will always come. I firmly believe that we are'must lose', and I hope that my population can survive forever in the'must lose' …"

　　 "So, from today, I will be called ‘perpetual’."
