Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 1915
[Chapter 227 The Rhythm of the Hill People]
For living beings, the biological clock is an important and unimportant concept.
During sleep, the biological brain will inevitably fall into a dormant state. Rather, the concept of “sleep” in modern times refers to the rhythm of the brain. That is to say, strictly speaking, lower creatures without a nervous system and without an independent brain have no sleep.
Of course, even without a brain, creatures have a “dormancy” in which the body’s metabolism is reduced and its activity slows. Although sleep and hibernation may seem almost indistinguishable, strictly speaking, they are two concepts.
The “dormancy” of the Reiki universe will also involve the transformation of the “soul” state, which is also a complex and rigorous concept.
However, the biological clock acts as a special punishment mechanism.
For higher-level creatures with brains, sleep is equivalent to temporarily shutting down the “brain”, the “operating system” that has accumulated hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary power, leaving only a few “background” instincts. Stop all conscious activity, let go of the predatory state, let go of your defenses, and expose yourself to a state of extreme danger. In addition, sleep can also seriously slow down the efficiency of a creature’s food intake, but not many creatures can continuously obtain food during sleep.
If you really want to say there is, then it’s only… the human beings who have been put in a hanging bottle.
Come to think of it, it’s pointless to spend a third of one’s life in sleep, shouldn’t that be a terrible thing in itself?
For animals, the cost of sleep is so great. Then relatively, its benefits should also be extremely huge.
Perhaps the first reaction of many people is “nonsense, mortals will die if they don’t sleep for a few days”. But think about it, where is the “cause and effect” of this evolution?
Is it an established fact that “if you don’t sleep, you will die”, so the creatures acquired the ability to “sleep”, or did the creatures discover the benefits of “sleep” first, so they evolved the ability to “sleep”… No, to be precise Lost the ability to “not sleep”?
The order of this evolution is critical.
From a logical point of view, the rationality of the latter is definitely higher.
Just like marine mammals like whales. Their ancestors returned to the ocean after the mass extinction, the marine niche was vacant, and then lost the ability to survive on land because they found it easier to obtain food in the ocean.
However, the former is not impossible. Perhaps, it is really our planet that has entered the wrong path of evolution. The structure of the nervous system has great congenital defects, so it has to bear the “punishment” of at least one third of the time every day?
But on the other hand… why does this kind of behavior have to be carried out in a fixed period of time?
Why can’t it be done in a decentralized way and spread out the risks?
Is “rhythm” and “sleep” really related?
Anyway, it’s all research.
But at least in China, “rhythm” [biological clock] is a very common phenomenon. The feeding and sleeping of higher animals, and the dormancy and division of lower creatures are all included in it. But so far, Tianlingling has not dared to guarantee that there are no creatures with “innate rhythm system” in Shenzhou.
And it doesn’t seem like it really matters. Let’s just put it this way, the “reproduction” of most species is included in the rhythm system, which is the so-called “estrus period”, but the human race doesn’t have this thing at all, it’s just as good, right?
Maybe the dragons know the answer to this question and can customize their own rhythm system. However, they, who have always pursued secrecy, would never open their mouths on this matter.
All in all, the rhythm system of living beings is also a project worth studying.
Generally speaking, the rhythm system of a species is mostly related to its own planet, the star to which the planet belongs, and the satellites attached to the planet.
Many researchers believe that the rhythm system is mostly related to the movement of celestial bodies. Most importantly, the movement of celestial bodies determines the climate of a planet. Seasonal changes, monsoon currents, and ebb and flow are all related to it.
However, this is not reflected in this C-6 Green Star.
Because of the relationship between that layer of astral gas layer, the light from the outside will hardly affect the inside of the astral gas layer of the Bing-6 Green Star. Moreover, the Bingliu Green Star also has no satellites, so it is also impossible to produce any “ebb and flow” scene.
From Wang Qi’s point of view, the inference that these creatures do not have a rhythmic system is actually reasonable.
Due to the relationship between the astral layer, it is almost inevitable that the creatures on this planet do not have a rhythm system based on “days and years”. Without satellites, a rhythm with “month” as the scale would not have been born.
If you really want to say, the influence of external celestial bodies on Green Star does have an inseparable place.
That’s the gravitational pull of stars.
It’s not that there is no gangway layer that can cut off gravity, but that gangway layer must be a mighty force that can cause space-time distortion on the scale of celestial bodies, and this non-attribute whiteboard gangway layer that can be torn apart by any cultivator in the fusion stage. There is a world of difference.
Therefore, the creatures of this planet can still feel the change of the star’s gravity.
This force is weaker than the force of Shenzhou to make the tide rise and fall. It is the result of the combined effect of the gravitational force of stars and satellites.
But will your weight fluctuate in “jin” between Wangri and Shuori?
nonexistent.
Otherwise, girls all over the street will go to the medical examination on the same day.
If the earth is taken as an example, on the surface of the earth, every kilogram of matter is subject to a downward gravitational force of 9.8 Newtons, while in the case of perilunar points, every kilogram of objects on the surface will only receive a lunar gravitational force of 0.00003 Newtons.
negligible.
It would be unrealistic to expect this change to form a rhythmic system unless the star at the core of the Great Sun is replaced by a more massive neutron star.
However, Wang Qi guessed wrong this time. Even if his report was rarely approved by the technical support of Tianlingling, he was hopelessly mistaken.
The people of the hills whom he called “Pop La” actually have a rhythm system. Likewise, they also have calendars.
A drowsiness is called “a sleep” or “a faint”, and the time between this sleep and the next sleep is a “wake up”.
A “wake-up cycle”, or “wake-sleep cycle”, is equivalent to the concept of “day and night” of the people of Yuanlong Star.
However, this concept really has nothing to do with the rotation period of this planet.
Twelve wake-up cycles are equivalent to “one birth”, which is the time from the fertilization of eggs to the time when the people of the hills break out of their shells.
The combination of the nine birthdays is “Yi Yan”, which is the interval between the hill people from this breeding period to the next breeding period.
By the way, the length of the “Yi Yan” has nothing to do with the planetary revolution period of the Bingliu Green Star.
And the combination of Jiuyan and the “generation” is about the time period from when the people of the hills broke out of their shells to mature.
It is equivalent to human beings entering puberty. If this time ratio is placed on human beings, it is equivalent to “growing to twelve years old”. [Note that it is “proportional” rather than “absolute duration”]
After this, there is no larger unit of time.
Birth and old age, sickness and death, birth and old age, sickness and death. But in this illusion, the time consumption of “oldness” and “death” is actually tied to “cultivation”.
Therefore, this set of calendars, which is basically established with “birth” as the core, has become the benchmark for all planning for the people of the hills.
And their festivals are not measured in terms of “Yan”, but in terms of “generation”.
Such as the birth or death of a certain great man, such as the establishment of a certain force, such as the alliance of certain forces, and so on.
Except for a very small number of “festivals” related to newborns (strictly speaking, we should probably call them “Festivals and Awakenings”], most of these commemorative activities are based on “generation” as the core. ongoing.
And the “wake up” when the new generation and the old generation are handed over is the most important day.
On that day, the people of the hills will gather to celebrate this most important day with great ceremonies.
“Yes, that’s the only chance.” This thought flashed in the mind of the first general, Nabrapp.
This is the latest opportunity. At that time, Qing Zong would definitely preside over the blessing ceremony. This is his duty as king of the hill. This is what the etiquette of the people of the hills said.
To pray for blessings is to pray for the longevity of the hills and to send blessings to the hills.
And in the prayer ceremony. Qing Yanzong will definitely walk into a large formation.
As long as you quietly control the Wuzhu group, and then quietly replace the manpower…
Thinking of this, Brapp’s whole body is jolted.
fear? Excited? nervous? excited?
No, it’s just sadness.
He was the first hill people to follow Qingzong, so Nabrup knew the genius of Qingzong.
But he also knew how crazy Qing Zong was.
He has been living in an inexplicable fear since he was a child, and will pour too much experience into fighting inexplicable nightmares.
But now, after his cultivation base has arrived, he has gone too far.
From the perspective of Brapp, Qingzong intends to sacrifice the happiness of all the people of the hills in exchange for his own peace.
“You can’t let the fate of the hills be wasted on such trumped-up things, my lord.”
He thought so firmly.
But as he walked forward, he always felt a chill. Even the earth could not give him the warmth to dispel this chill.
Could it be said that the highest achievement of the people of the hills is only integration?
Why… why are all the seniors who have been promoted to Mahayana, cursed, reversed, and finally abandoned by the world?
Even the Qing Dynasty Sect… even the astonishing and talented people like Qing Zong could not be spared.
Hills, why is this?
