Chapter 687 - 680: Cognitive Bias
Xinghe seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow; her complexion was pale, and her mind was drifting as she just stared motionless at the medical pod.
"Xinghe, Xinghe?"
Responding to Gao Yuan’s repeated calls, Xinghe finally lifted her head and then, still in a daze, said, "It’s so simple, yet so complicated..."
"What?"
With a blank look on her face, Xinghe said, "To think that merely smearing blood was all it took, so simple, and yet, as an explorer, I failed to realize that the secret was that straightforward."
"Uh, not just you, none of us realized it because how could aliens’ high-tech be as simple as blood identification, right? You know what blood identification means, don’t you? It certainly wasn’t the direction we were considering; that’s way too simple."
Still with a vacant expression, Xinghe said, "But do you know how complex the technology behind such a simple identification method must be? First, it requires genetic identification technology to store a massive amount of information in this carbon-element single-quality crystal. After completing the genetic identification, the information is displayed. I can’t imagine what kind of technology this is, and this diamond surely doesn’t show any energy reaction, right? Then how can a simple carbon-element single-quality crystal display text images and visible light? How is this achieved?"
The simplicity on the surface is not so simple, or rather, anything that seems very simple is actually not that simple at all.
