How var buggarna i stånd att replikera Battle School-spelvärlden på Eros?

7

Jag har precis slutat läsa Ender's Game , och jag ska börja Speaker of the Dead ikväll. Tyvärr väntade jag tills jag hade tittat på filmen innan jag läste boken. Jag önskar att jag skulle ha lyssnat på min pappa när han berättade för mig att jag borde läsa om en bazillion tider växer upp.

I slutet av boken upptäcker vi att på Eros försökte buggarna återskapa scenen med jätten och lekplatsen från Fairyland från spelet han spelade i Battle School.

Det verkar som att boken föreslår att Bugger-drottningen kunde extrahera denna information från Ender själv via den filotiska anslutningen under det sista kriget.

Men boken verkar också föreslå att buggarna invaderade mänskliga slag eftersom de inte kunde förstå att vi var intelligenta på grund av att de inte kunde ansluta filotiskt (sp?).

Fråga

Hur kunde buggarna återskapa spelvärlden från Battle School på Eros? Motsätter det det faktum att buggarna inte kunde förstå mänsklig intelligens?

Observera

Om ett svar på detta kommer att leda till en spoiler i Speaker of the Dead eller Xenocide vänligen förord ditt svar med denna varning. Tack!

Båda dessa påståenden var sanna.

Först förstod inte buggare att människor var intelligenta.

Senare lärde de sig att människor var intelligenta och så småningom försökte kommunicera med Ender. De kunde läsa, men inte "tala" till honom.

Varning! Spoilers!

In addition, as we learn in the sequels, the reason they could communicate to Ender in the first place was because they connected the Battle School Game AI to an auia (soul) which was in a way twined with Ender's.

För posten återskapade Buggers (AKA Formics) "Giant's Game" på Eros (vilket vid tiden för den andra invasionen var redan under jordkontroll) men på den närmaste livliga planet till jorden; Ursprungligen känd som "Ender's World" men senast bytte namn till Planet Shakespeare

In addition to recreating the shape and feel of the game world (out of concrete) in an attempt to posthumously communicate with Ender, they also left a cocoon with a fertilised female queen for Ender to find and take to a new world after humanity's fear of the Buggers had abated.

Enders uppdrag att demonisera sig (i hans medmänniskors ögon) upptar det mesta av 2000 års interregnum mellan "Ender's Game" och "Speaker for the Dead"

The hill was hollow. A deep depression in the middle, partially filled with water, was ringed by concave slopes that cantilevered dangerously over the water. In one direction the hill gave way to two long ridges that made a V-shaped valley: in the other direction the rose to a piece of white rock, grinning like a skull with a tree growing out of its mouth. "It's like a giant died here," said Abra, "and the Earth grew up to cover his carcass,” Now Ender knew why it had looked familiar. The Giant's corpse. He had played here too many times as a child not to know this place. But it was not possible. The computer in the Battle School could not possibly have seen this place. He looked through his binoculars in a direction he knew well, fearing and hoping that he would see what belonged in that place. Swings and slides. Monkey bars. Now overgrown, but the shapes still unmistakable.
"Somebody had to have built this," Abra said, "Look, this skull place, it's not rock, look at it. This is concrete.”

Only me, he realized. They found me through the ansible, followed it and dwelt in my mind. In the agony of my tortured dreams they came to know me, even as I spent my days destroying them; they found my fear of them, and found also that I had no knowledge I was killing them. In the few weeks they had, they built this place for me, and the Giant's corpse and the playground and the ledge at the End of the World, so I would find this place by the evidence of my eyes. I am the only one they know, and so they can only talk to me, and through me.
