Chapter 272: Blueprints for the Transformation of the Sacred Oak Tree
The biocomputer design blueprint is a supercomputer tailored by Tony and Banner to carry the "Gaia consciousness" based on the data structure of the Mind Stone.
The best carrier for consciousness is, of course, the soul.
But even as a demigod of nature, it's impossible to have such a powerful soul to bear such a terrifying consciousness.
So, the so-called "carrier" is more accurately described as a "mirror."
Guiding a strand of the Gaia consciousness's "divided spirit" to the biocomputer allows it to synchronize and provide feedback on the true Gaia consciousness information, which is sufficient.
Therefore, this biocomputer must be powerful enough.
If a biocomputer were to be built using conventional methods to achieve a mirrored Gaia consciousness and simulate the Earth's ecosystem, Tony and the others have calculated—
Even a biocomputer with explosive computational power would require an incredibly massive volume.
However, what if this biocomputer were constructed using the "body of a demigod"?
The sacred oak tree, which is already a demigod of nature, is the best choice!
But the maximum soul-bearing capacity of the sacred oak tree is probably comparable to Havel's soul intensity.
However, even the ArchDruid, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, is insignificant dust in the face of the Gaia consciousness.
Oaks's soul is stronger than Havel's, but it is also limited. He has personally experienced the incredible nature of the Gaia consciousness.
Therefore, simply using the sacred oak tree, which can only carry souls, as the biocomputer is far from enough.
Even if Malorn's will is added, it's still the same.
However, the reason why the sacred oak tree has this flaw is that it was originally an ordinary giant oak tree and was transformed by Havel's natural power.
At that time, Havel only cared about survival, so the transformation plan was naturally based on making it as sturdy as possible, piling on armor like crazy.
Previously, a slap from the sacred oak tree almost killed Oaks, and physical attacks couldn't break through its defense...
That was the result of Havel's transformation.
However, if the blueprint for the biocomputer, optimized based on the structure of the Mind Stone, were used to transform this "demigod body," the resulting effect would be completely different.
Besides, trees can continue to grow as needed.
Oaks rubbed his chin as he looked at the design blueprint that Tony and Banner had sent over.
The two of them were busy optimizing algorithms and collecting data, so it was Oaks who would handle the main part of the biocomputer.
With this blueprint, Oaks was capable enough to take on this task by himself.
This is a complete set of components for the biocomputer, even including the design blueprints for distributed signal bases and portable communication devices. They were truly worthy of Tony and Banner.
This system couldn't be created by ordinary means. The parameters inside were based on Oaks's Nature magic and his powerful control over biological cells, making it possible.
If the biocomputer were to be built using conventional methods, it would probably require starting from the cells and gradually cultivating them in a targeted manner...
The appearance of the biocomputer doesn't necessarily have to be a brain.
Even a single cell can possess computing power and storage capabilities, so strictly speaking, it can take on any form.
That's why Oaks was confident in transforming the sacred oak tree once again.
After all, the biocomputer needs to be located in a fixed location, and it's not suitable to shape it like an animal.
And if it were simply built as some kind of flesh and organ, it wouldn't match the style of the life sanctuary.
Originally, Oaks had also considered using this type of computer to create a true deer body for Malorn, at least allowing his separate consciousness to roam freely...
But it seemed that it would be better to ask Duraþrór for some hair next time and directly clone a ready-made demigod body.
"Let's deal with the tree first.
Malorn, project the structure of the sacred oak tree."
"Yes, brother."
A detailed projection of the structure of the sacred oak tree appeared in front of Oaks, and he carefully studied it in comparison to the blueprint.
Malorn shook his massive antlers, which seemed to have become a subconscious habit:
"If I am to be transformed into a computer, it seems that the current volume of the sacred oak tree is insufficient. But if we continue to expand its volume, the tree's defensive capabilities will correspondingly decrease."
"Hmm, at most, I can scratch it a hundred times and not break through. Would it be reduced to scratching it fifty times to breaking through?"
Oaks carefully studied the model of the sacred oak tree and grinned when he heard Malorn's words.
"Within Avalon, such an outrageous defense is already a great waste...
Furthermore, when the Gaia consciousness is successfully mirrored, the Nature Energy here will be enhanced by the entire Earth's ecosystem.
By then, defense capabilities will be easily increased to any extent.
And... Malorn, your growth potential is far greater than this."
In fact, the Life Sanctuary Project is not just about the Earth's ecosystem. Does the mirroring of the Gaia consciousness in Avalon mark the end?
Don't forget, there are three world channels in Avalon!
If they follow the same method and mirror the wills of the ecosystems of Alfheim and Helheim?
Well, even if Alfheim and Helheim, especially Helheim, don't have ecosystem wills, can I create a "will" for their ecosystems?
With the Gaia consciousness of Earth, I would have much more space to operate.
Furthermore, if Avalon, the future Life Sanctuary, becomes strong enough, could they open channels to other worlds?
But Oaks shook his head, snapped out of his thoughts. It was too early to discuss those things now. The preliminary work must be done well first.
"You make a good point, brother."
Malorn had a look of sudden realization and happily pawed at the ground with his hooves:
"So, how should the transformation plan proceed?"
Oaks glanced at Malorn, the demigod of nature whom he had personally created, and his current state seemed quite familiar.
"Similar to Aviana's state back then..."
"Aviana?"
"She was a predecessor demigod whose soul, like yours, merged with a divine tree—
That divine tree was a bridge connecting a spirit realm and the real world, the origin of all trees in the real world. Therefore, it was called the 'G'hanir, the Mother Tree'"
Chuckling and shaking his head, Oaks reminisced about the mother tree of all the World Trees in Azeroth and couldn't help but sigh:
"Once its seeds and branches grew, they would be known as 'World Trees.' Through them, it was even possible to directly open portals to the spirit realm...
Although this world should have a true World Tree, perhaps one day people will also refer to you in the same way?"
"I look forward to that day!"
Malorn's eyes lit up. In fact, he already had the ability to communicate partially with Earth.
However, if the branches of the sacred oak tree were taken out and planted, the resulting tree would be unable to create the portals leading to this Life Sanctuary.
But once Avalon is further upgraded, it won't be impossible.
The reason why portals with natural spatial channels can be opened in the Earth, Alfheim, and Helheim is because of the convenient structure of the world's spatial layout.
So, in worlds without such spatial structures, perhaps using one's own "body" as a medium is indeed a very good solution.
"So first, let's take a look at the transformation plan."
Oaks enlarged the blueprint and directly projected it onto the structure of the sacred oak tree, making adjustments:
"The main computational organs, I plan to place them in the root system. For every world, or rather, planetary ecosystem we connect to, we'll have a separate main root system to build the biocomputer system."
Oaks obviously wanted to leave room for future expansion:
"Among them, Earth will serve as the core and be built as the largest and most powerful computing center—
After all, among the known worlds, only Earth possesses a panconsciousness of the ecosystem."
"Then, the trunk will serve as a channel for information interaction and transmission. We'll expand it appropriately, and the crown will function as the data transmitter and receiver with other worlds. We can expand its scale as much as possible. The communication channels can never be too wide."
Oaks looked up at the already immense crown that covered the sky and stroked his chin.
"Not enough... In that case, acorns will serve as advanced communication nodes, responsible for strengthening the connections with the outside world.
If there can be one oak tree grown from an acorn per square kilometer, we won't need to worry about environmental data."
"Um... that's impossible, brother."
Malorn's face was full of panic.
"The Earth's land area is close to 150 million square kilometers. Let's not even mention whether those countries would be willing to plant so many trees. Even if they were willing, I don't have that many acorns!
Not to mention 71% of the ocean area..."
"...Stay calm, I never actually intended to do that."
Oaks looked helplessly at Malorn, who breathed a sigh of relief. The sacred oak tree doesn't produce as many acorns as a normal oak tree, and they are plentiful enough to be used as food.
In fact, after Havel's transformation, it only produced a few dozen acorns at most each year—
In theory, these acorns could be considered a descendant of the sacred oak tree, so Havel felt it was strange and didn't want these amazingly powerful acorns to be used for anything strange.
Of course, the yield would increase after the transformation, but producing over a hundred million acorns was clearly impossible...
"One oak tree per thousand square kilometers is enough. With so many plants covering the Earth's surface, they will serve as scattered signal bases, not to mention extreme environments like deserts, polar regions, and oceans...
Perhaps we can use the power of technology to place detectors there."
Oaks waved his hand nonchalantly, but Malorn's complexion turned sour—
That would still be close to one hundred thousand!
But his complexion soon grew even paler because Oaks looked up again:
"As for the leaves, there are enough of them to serve as communication terminals for members of the Benevolent Society...
With that, the entire system is complete!"
Adjusting the biocomputer blueprint on the structure of the sacred oak tree, Oaks nodded in satisfaction and presented the blueprint to Malorn:
"Now, let's grow according to this pattern. I will infuse you with the power of nature!"
"Yes, brother..."
Malorn shivered, feeling fortunate that he wasn't actually a deer.
Otherwise, Oaks would have plucked him bald!
