"Bah, I'm a lady."

Hera turned sideways, holding her cheek, her wet hair stuck to her face, and there was deep attachment in her eyes.

"Ming, I miss you."

"Me too," Yang Ming sighed, looked at the starry sky projected on the ceiling, and whispered, "Don't leave once you're back."

"I have to go back later, and the research work hasn't been completed yet."

Hera bit her lower lip gently, then simply lay down again, and fumbled with her right hand to hold Yang Ming's left hand.

She whispered: "Sorry, I lost my mind last time because of my father's death."

"I can understand."

"Don't you ask me why I came back?"

Yang Ming smiled and said: "If you need money, a boat, equipment, or robots, don't worry, I will prepare them for you. Who let me be poisoned by you?"

"That's not it. For my current research, human instruments at this stage are no longer useful," Hera muttered for a few times, "Let me report my current research direction first, boss."

Yang Ming cleared his throat: "Speak."

"I have been in constant communication with that queen. Last time, before the queen led a swarm of tens of billions of insects to invade the New Federation, she tried to devour my consciousness."

"Swallowing consciousness?"

Yang Ming immediately sat up and looked at Hera with a frown.

Hera hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I am still Hera, human Hera. The queen chose to give up at the last moment."

Hera sighed softly and began to talk about her experience at that time.

At that time, she rejected the queen's conditions, and an abyss of consciousness appeared before her eyes, and the abyss swallowed her up in one breath.

"Different species have different perceptions of the universe and different interpretations of the concept of death.

"At that time, the queen wanted to assimilate my consciousness and make me an inconspicuous part of her huge consciousness, but she soon discovered that I was still a human being.

"The Queen has determined that if she assimilates my consciousness, her huge body of consciousness will become diseased, similar to being affected by human cognitive concepts.

"Of course, the Zerg's understanding of the universe and space is closer to the essence. She is not afraid of human culture and civilization. What she is worried about is..."

"What is it?" Yang Ming asked.

Hera said: "Human pleasure."

"What the hell?" Yang Ming's expression was full of confusion.

Hera laughed and said softly: "The space Zerg is a high-dimensional creature. The first-order Zerg to the sixth-order Zerg are all the developmental stages of the Zerg in its larvae. What must be said here is that the only individual recognized by the Zerg is the mother worm itself.

."

Yang Ming said: "I understand all of these."

"What is pleasure?"

Hera asked herself:

“Pleasure is a relatively primitive self-reward mechanism for low-dimensional cosmic creatures, such as us humans, based on body hormone secretion and neuron circuit structure.

“A simplified understanding of the rules of biological evolution - when an organism completes a behavior that is beneficial to survival, in order to allow itself to remember this behavior, the brain will form a pleasure circuit and drive itself to repeat it.

“For example, continuous positive interactions for the purpose of reproduction bring happiness, the satisfaction of getting food after hunger, the sense of relief from letting oneself rest after being extremely tired, and the realization of a dream that has been thought about day and night can also bring pleasure.

“Pleasure is the body’s reward mechanism at the moment when desires are satisfied.

"So, not completing these behaviors and directly stimulating the brain to produce biological signals to obtain pleasure is essentially the self-degradation of individual life."

Yang Ming nodded: "You mean, the Zerg have no pleasure mechanism?"

Hera's eyes lit up: "Yes, the female eggs exist in low latitudes, and the adult state of the female individual exists in high dimensions. In the high-dimensional world, reproduction has lost its meaning, and their pleasure mechanism has been abandoned in their evolution.

"Under extremely limited conditions, I observed the mating process between male and female worms, but of course it was not the huge sixth-order female worm.

"It's just a behavioral stimulus that allows the female worm to gain more biological energy and produce more 'self-protection' pseudo-worm populations. They have no pleasure and are afraid of pleasure.

"Excessive satisfaction of pleasure will have counterproductive effects and diminishing marginal utility.

"Insects without desires have no weaknesses, but as long as we give them pleasure circuits, they have weaknesses."

Yang Ming:……

"No, if you study this topic, can you deal with the insect swarm?"

"Not yet."

Hera sat up and licked her lips gently:

"But I think, what would happen if all the bugs in the Milky Way today could understand what pleasure is, especially the Queen who is about to ascend to another dimension, and let her bring the pleasure mechanism to the high-dimensional world? This must be very interesting.

interesting!"

Yang Ming scratched his head.

Hera suppressed her smile and said seriously:

"Ming, my current research direction has nothing to do with protecting human beings.

"To be honest, I have become numb to this topic. I have done everything I can, and I don't owe the human race anything.

"As for the New Federation, I no longer have any belonging to this country. Refusing to become the envoy of the Zerg to destroy them is all I can do.

"Now, I only live for two things - to improve mankind's understanding of Zerg and to satisfy my own thirst for knowledge."

Yang Ming pointed at himself.

"You are my lover," Hera immediately added, "You are a part of my life, this is different, and because you fund my research, I will share all my research results with you later.

, allowing you to gain an advantage when facing the insect swarm."

Yang Ming couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

The good news is: Hera has completed her adjustment and she is back to those two happy years.

The bad news is: Hera has independently completed the change in her self-perception and has embarked on the path of a paranoid scientist without any scruples.

"I'm a little worried about your mental state," Yang Ming said solemnly.

"I'm fine, Ming," Hera turned around and jumped into the pool, turning her body a few times, "I feel great now, you don't have to worry about me at all."

Yang Ming looked at her beautiful body and reminded: "We have known each other for a few years, and your skin condition is getting better and better. This is actually the influence of those microorganisms."

"This is nothing to me, but can it be considered a reward to you?"

Hera chuckled softly, swam to Yang Ming's side, raised her hand and stroked Yang Ming's chin.

She said in a soft voice: "I am not a qualified lover. Most of my actions in the future will be for scientific research, but Ming, I love you."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "So, what do you want me to do with you now?"

Hera blinked and whispered:

"I have a crazy plan, which may require your cooperation...

"Shall we go on a trip to the New Federation? Just go near Ram Star, or near the Zerg forces in the Milky Way, but this is more risky.

"I want to restore our life for those two years without any biological shielding device, but I will not spend my time at work every day, but spend it with you.

"I want to continue to generate pleasure, and through the network of individual information exchanges between mother worms, I will continue to deliver this pleasure to the galaxy worms.

"Last time the Great Queen sent people to attack us, it was not because she felt humiliated. The Zerg do not have such complex social cognitive concepts as humans. It was because the interaction between us stimulated the Great Queen. She was on the edge of dimensionality and could not bear it.

This part is exciting.

"Our most advantageous weapon against the Zerg is not the ship, but the primitive body."

Yang Ming was a little in disbelief: "That's it?"

"Yeah! That's it!" Hera's facial capillaries were slightly congested, "Is it okay?"

"I'm just busy and don't have much time," Yang Ming thought carefully, "Will this stimulate the Zerg to a decisive battle with human civilization?"

Hera said: "It's possible, but if the experiment is successful, it might be able to change the Zerg... Believe me, the human civilization in the galaxy has a good chance of winning against the Zerg here!"

Yang Ming groaned a few times and continued to consider.

As long as he does this and that with Hera, he can contribute to human civilization. He will definitely not refuse. The problem is...this...it always feels like being peeped by the big queen...

It's better to think about it in the long term, and he doesn't have that much time now.

"Hera..."

Buzz, buzz!

The watch by the pool suddenly vibrated, and Lu couldn't help but jump out.

Hera subconsciously covered her chest and squatted into the pool.

"Boss!" Lu looked at Yang Ming with gleaming eyes, "My main brain on the Dongfeng has just received a huge amount of information! It's the same as last time! It's the same as the time when Dabosuo was there!"

Yang Ming perked up.

Faya!
Chapter completed!
