Chapter 259 "Prophecy"
Predictive interface, this is one of Li Wenyuan's own technologies.
It is located at the upper level of the "psychic energy system" technology tree, and it can generally be regarded as a crystallized technology that combines the essence of psionic technology.
Its function is similar to the "ideal combat computer" used on battleships.
The processing power of organisms is ultimately inferior to that of machines. There is no shame in using computers to process so much data in space warfare.
Although it sounds unbelievable, after all, who would have thought that psykers would actually use this kind of "artificial intelligence" machine that they seem to hate the most.
But in fact, the idealistic civilization is far less familiar with the use of computers than other civilizations. They still have taboos on "artificial intelligence". The so-called "computer" is largely a fixed mechanical program composed of a little metal plate and simple circuits.
This has also led to the fact that ideal civilizations are always more traumatized than other civilizations in the long-term space war.
In order to solve this problem, the "predictive interface" "ideal combat computer" was developed.
The warships of the "Watcher" lost empire used this special equipment, and gained a huge advantage in the "Battle of Heaven" with the old enemy "Farstrider".
It is said to be a combat computer, but the "precognition interface" itself is an auxiliary device for the psykers on the battleship.
That is the seventh "Precognition Interface" built by "Ascended", and it is also the only one we have actually put into use. The last seven are all experimental giant structures.
That's all, it also incorporates a few types of technologies such as psionic energy, genetics, and astrophysics, and its real function is to "predict the future."
The activation of the "prediction interface" consumes a huge amount of psionic energy, and the brain in the tank has already filled up that part of energy for me.
However, its will is enough for Li Wenyuan to create a sub-file on the "Ascended" file for it, and save that lonely story in the data.
I still haven’t got the trace of "God" from that trip, but if it is definitely the "Precognition Interface", it should be able to help me find these "Ascendents" who have awakened from hibernation.
Wu Junmeng retells the story of the brain in a vat and the "Ascended" civilization to Gray Wind Complex, and you are not surprised:
"It's strange that when we first met, your brain circuit was so out of touch... In the past, you had to see less of that universe..."
The most recent time, when I first came to that galaxy, also made me realize how I was discovered by this group of "fallen people". Obviously, this so-called "god" used the "precognition" interface".
So you asked curiously: "He really didn't find anything new. Could it be the remains of human beings?"
The crystal planet that was mutated from a fleshy planet in that galaxy—or it should be called "Precognition Interface·IV" now, is not such a giant building.
The goal is also very clear: to predict where the first "ascenders" will go.
Although the name is the same, the "precognition interface" is a planet-level megastructure.
But even if that is the case... the self-entertainment that started over millions of years can only be persisted by special people.
Although these hibernating "Ascended" are still alive, what we can form is only a world with or without "Ascended".
Before sealing the lonely straggler in the world it insisted on, Li Wenyuan brought the scientific research spacecraft back to the distance of the "precognition interface" that had not yet turned into a luminous glass ball.
"...Living for nearly four million years with just one cerebellum... It must be you, maybe you will have a mental breakdown by this time."
That became Li Wenyuan's new doubt, did I waste any of the psychic energy and end the use of that functional giant structure.
At most, no one will remember that incident, and let it just disappear silently like that.
Compared to Brain in Vat, Gray Wind is actually quite inferior. You will spend more time locked in the "distant star cluster" than Brain in Vat. The only thing worse than Brain in Vat is that you can't entertain yourself.
"...Although I understand the result, what is the reason for this 'God' to predict your arrival? Or is it just predicting the arrival of the 'Liren' in a broad sense? But even that has no reason..."
All in all, the "precognition interface" in the sense of the galaxy is just a kind of equipment. Although it is linked to low-end psionic energy, it is also quite mysterious.
However, this "precognition interface" researched by the "Ascended" civilization is the same.
Although the "precognition interface" is basically useful in the face of a purely manned combat environment or an omnic civilization, that situation is only the majority after all, and the idealistic civilization has no special means to deal with "machines".
Grey Wind is also outside there. Did you follow Li Wenyuan close to the frame of the "ether phase engine" that is suspected to be the wreckage of the Dyson sphere, but you have been staying far away from the planet "precognition interface".
With the self-destruction of the brain in the vat, the "Ascended" civilization is also heading for extinction in a true sense.
In layman's terms, it's not about predicting the other party's actions, delaying and making bad preparations, which is also the origin of its name.
The usual shielding devices are often capable of reading mind fluctuations, so the "precognition interface" makes up for the strength of spiritual civilization in space battles due to the lack of artificial intelligence technology.
Its function is to strengthen the perception of psykers, directly read the "psychic fluctuations" of organisms on a large scale, and preemptively strike before the opponent's crew actually takes action.
You also take it for granted that everything is normal and attribute it to humans, and you can’t see how little influence humans have left on you.
Until the very beginning, Li Wenyuan was also able to know the name of the brain in the tank. The long loneliness has not made me forget that it is an important thing.
Li Wenyuan thought so, and now uses the giant structure of the "predictive interface" based on the newly acquired "Ascender" technology.
Yes, it was indeed that time, but it was a relic left by the remaining civilization in that galaxy.
The sudden change of the planet from flesh to glass crystal made you startled, but you also realized that if Li Wenyuan discovered and touched something.
That is "predicting the future" in the sense of psionic energy. Among the unrecorded data, only these true prophets can foresee the future happening for a short time.
The principle of predicting the future is still unknown, but judging from the records of the galaxy civilization and the remaining "ascenders" outside, it seems that it has nothing to do with the cause of the void.
These faintly refracted rays of light in the crystal are the "recorded data" of the "prediction interface", so Wu Junmeng now knows the past use records of that giant structure.
