Chapter 133 Curtain Theory
"...new 'farstriders' have appeared, they seem to be... omnics? Bear, what do you think?"
In the trade enclave of Cribb, Braining, as always, paid attention to matters related to the lost empire.
The Mao Xiong who was pulled over with an inexplicable face replied sincerely: "I don't know."
Brenning shook his head regretfully, and said while shaking:
"How can you not know? Didn't you read the Galactic Communication just sent by 'Far Traveler'? Then let me tell you."
Saying this, the manager of the trade enclave began to recite with emotion:
"We are 'far travelers', a group of forwarders who have shouldered the mission of countless compatriots and have stood here for tens of millions of years."
"Young civilizations, if you want to walk with us, then accept this path."
"This is a possibility that has been confirmed by us. Don't doubt its greatness. It can help you go further."
After finishing speaking, Breining pointed to a large screen in the room with bright eyes, and showed the content on it to Mao Xiong.
"Have you seen it? This "synthetic evolution" path has been confirmed by the "far traveler"! With it, we may no longer be bound by the flesh! Just like those machines, we will enter the realm of immortality!"
He was still talking about the benefits of this "synthetic evolution", as if wishing to become a member of it on the spot.
But Mao Xiong couldn't help slandering in his heart: "...you didn't say that before..."
He knew that his boss was complaining not long ago about the genius scientist in Mingbo Technological Dictatorship who "transformed himself from a creature into a machine", saying that the scientist's choice was not good and he killed himself.
The reason why Bryaning said this is also very embarrassing.
Just after the "synthetic evolution" scientist named Synthetic triggered a big discussion about this evolution method, he himself quickly disappeared in the galaxy.
Not assassinated, not in hibernation, but dead in a hilarious accident.
Because the consciousness data was transferred to the mechanical body, he began to take the initiative to use this digitized consciousness to make some conveniences in the network, for example, a person disguised as countless sailors to wash away his stigma.
While visiting some forums, he unfortunately infected the mechanical body with an electronic virus. This kind of small problem was not a problem at all for this genius scientist.
But on a whim, he downloaded an anti-virus software and wanted to see what this "electronic war" was like from the perspective of data.
The result was very gratifying, he witnessed an unspeakable battle; the result was also very speechless, because his consciousness data was attacked by anti-virus software as a virus.
Because it was the first time he became a mechanical life, he hadn't considered such a situation, and the protection of consciousness was not enough. As a result, his consciousness data was defeated in the battle with the anti-virus software and was "cleaned" out.
The great proponent of "mechanistic evolution" just died, like those incredible accidents in the galaxy.
"Star Ocean World Records" engraved an achievement for it: the first life in the galaxy to fight to death with anti-virus software.
But although this genius died in a funny accident, the discussion on "synthetic evolution" has never stopped.
These civilizations vaguely feel that this is indeed a feasible path, but they still lack more data support, and it is difficult to understand the cognition of "mechanical life".
Most civilizations take a cautious wait-and-see attitude towards this, hoping that someone who has eaten crabs will show them the world first.
As a result, the Milky Way seemed to respond to their wishes, and a lost empire that took this path was born, defeating another lost empire in the current world.
Although these two lost empires seemed to be one family in ancient times, the path taken by this newly born "far traveler" seems to be the route they have been hesitating for a long time.
Not only that, but the "far traveler" also shared this technology, so that they don't have to fumble for too long on this road.
This undoubtedly gave a huge impetus to all civilizations who wanted to take this path, because this is a route that can at least reach the realm of "Lost Empire", and even some civilizations that are not optimistic about "synthetic evolution" have become very hesitant .
But of course, not all civilizations have changed because of the rebirth of the "far traveler". The ideal civilization still firmly believes that this is an act of collective suicide.
Some civilizations on the genetic road also follow the example of "presolin" and do not pay attention to this "synthetic evolution" road.
And some civilizations have different ideas. They don't want to abandon the physical body, but they are envious of the efficiency of the mechanical body, and at the same time they don't want to give up the path of spiritual energy and genes.
So they decided to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools and continue to walk on the road of prosthetic bodies. At the same time, they tried to get in touch with spiritual energy to see if they could get the grace of the virtual world.
But no matter what, the changes of the "far traveler" have brought many surprises to the galactic civilization, especially the unimagined path of "synthetic evolution", which has also been officially included in the textbook of civilization development.
As for whether they will take this path, it depends on their own choice.
Li Wenyuan saw the new changes in the Galaxy and thought it was a good sign.
Rebirth and destruction are the themes of the universe, but the civilizations in this small part of the galaxy can obviously go further.
"...This is also the credit of human beings, right? If they are allowed to explore by themselves, then the process will be full of ups and downs..."
He glanced at the progress of the giant structure under construction, and then focused on the "far traveler".
He was a little bored during this time. The scientific research spacecraft flying all over the galaxy did not find much interesting, and Gray Wind was busy designing her "vassal civilization", and was often away from home.
The only thing that interests him is the "Far Traveler" who just ended the "Battle for Name".
This group of mechanical consciousness recovered from the ancient times is receiving the inheritance of their compatriots. Those things that the original "far traveler" couldn't understand, they easily repaired.
The three "lighthouses" that symbolize their beliefs and beliefs around the world have completely become a speck of dust in the vast sea of stars due to various reasons, but they did not mourn for this, but continued to stand on the "fountain of knowledge". "Above, look into the future.
Staying in one place is not a "travel". One day, they will leave here and leave behind their legends.
Regarding this group of special "mechanical consciousness", he is also very curious about how far they can go.
This is a group of fearless people who have abandoned their physical bodies and adopted mechanical bodies.
Their consciousness is not in a gestalt state like a real omnic.
They are connected to each other to some extent, but they also have independent individual consciousness. Although the way of thinking has changed due to mechanical consciousness, it is generally not much different from their past.
Even the omnic civilization feels extremely conflicted about this new lost empire. They feel that these mechanical life forms should be their compatriots, but many differences make it difficult for them to understand.
Now they have discovered many secrets in the country by receiving the legacy of the "far traveler", and soon told the "guardian" about one of the most important places.
"'Database'?" Li Wenyuan received the news from "Far Traveler", and looked at everything about this planet in the virtual world.
"Yes," a "far traveler" continued: "Through screening the memories of my compatriots, the most important reason why they choose to settle here is this planet full of ancient databases."
"They think this is the remains of the 'Apocalypse', but... After we checked it, we found that the technology used here is indeed very superb, but it is somewhat different from the method of the 'Apocalypse'. We would like to invite you to take a look."
"... Could it be related to humans?" Li Wenyuan thought about it, and agreed to the request.
As long as it is related to human beings, he must be involved. The former "far traveler" hid the news of this planet very well, and even he didn't know it.
Fortunately, they did not expose the news, otherwise the former "far traveler" would be taught by him before the "ancient traveler" recovered.
"I have visited the extinct 'Watcher' and the departed 'Silent Man' in their country, and there is nothing worth noting. Will there be 'Far Traveler'?"
With such an idea in mind, Li Wenyuan controlled the scientific research spacecraft and came to the galaxy where the "Database" is located.
The border of "Far Traveler" is always open to him, and he can do whatever he wants in it.
After coming to the "Database" without any resistance, he quickly saw the ancient databases covered with various vines.
"Far Travelers" did not clean up these plants. They were afraid that these plants were also related to the data recorded here, and cleaning them up would lead to damage to the database.
After a little inspection, Li Wenyuan found that these databases seemed to be in a strange state of "intersection of old and new".
The oldest data here is even stored in an extremely old transistor, and you have to be careful even touching it, as a slight vibration will cause the transistor to rupture and the data in it will be lost forever.
The advanced one is a strange memory that even he can't figure out how to extract it. Although it is simple, it has a sense of advancedness that seems to come from a farther future.
With doubts, he cautiously connected the drone to one of the ports that could be connected, which seemed to be the proof of the research of the former "far traveler" here.
Then he discovered that the data encryption methods accessible to him were indeed very strange. He thought it should be a human method, but after actually decrypting it for a while, he found that there was a big difference.
It seems that there are many creatures that are very similar to human beings in all aspects to encrypt the information here, and even the methods are very similar, but it is completely impossible to decrypt it with the current method, like some specious things.
Of course, he also found some things that were definitely left by humans.
That is a piece of data covered by a large number of seemingly messy characters, but after parsing those characters, what appears is data encrypted by several "problems".
【This is a message encrypted by a genius girl "expert"! If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded! 】
【Please listen to the question:】
【1. Why don't fish talk? 】
【A. Because the fish can’t speak B. Because the fish is in the fish tank】
【2. When does the clock stop running? 】
【A. The clock will never go B. The clock will not go when it reaches the end】
【3. Which animal is closest to human? 】
【A. Parasites that live on humans B. Other humans】
These weird questions made Li Wenyuan fall into silence for a while.
The characters that encrypted this piece of data will not destroy the data it protects just because his answer is wrong, but it will change back to the disordered state again, and these characters need to be decrypted again.
The former "far traveler" tried to decrypt, but it took them a long time to decrypt these characters without mastering the human decryption method. Naturally, they got the wrong answer.
In view of the fact that this thing takes too much computing power and time to decrypt, the former "far traveler" gave up on it.
However, for Li Wenyuan, deciphering human encryption programs is only a matter of a moment, and these problems themselves are the key.
He remembered the behavior of human beings who have always been happy, so he answered these questions in a "brain teaser" way.
But to his surprise, the human beings were extraordinarily serious this time, and the real answer was three B's.
"…Unbelievable." He thinks he might be getting into something deep.
The decryption is complete, and what is hidden under the problem is a technology that has also appeared on his technology tree.
【Curtain Theory】
【Technology level: 9】
【Introduction: Secrecy has always been an important part of Interstellar. No one wants to see the situation of "AF lacking fresh water resources" repeated in Interstellar. Our theory gives us a new idea that maybe we can build a vast "secret project" that can obscure galaxies, river systems, and even the entire universe. In this way, we have time and opportunity to do our own thing]
【Possible technology: a glimpse of the future (0%)】
Overestimating myself, I will work harder!
