Lan Nuo fell into a brief confusion when he heard the word eldest son. The bald masked man behind him seemed to see that he didn't quite understand what the eldest son was, so he explained to him: "Everyone's awakening memory is
It's not complete. The history we know is also reconstructed by generations of awakened people who pieced together their own awakening memories. So it's normal that you don't know what the eldest son is.
It is a kind of super life form created by the Goddess of Creation to sow life. It is also the first life form created by the Goddess. They are extremely powerful, like giant trees, but their root systems can spread all over the planet.
Our former planet was destroyed by such a super life form, and we are one of the very few survivors on the planet."
Lan Nuo was not sure when he first heard the name of his eldest son, but after hearing the description, he had basically locked in which world he had traveled through, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become weird. Combined with the existence of this planet
With a large amount of gold, the world she is in is probably Tanagus in the original plot. If you think about it this way, there does seem to be a giant city pronounced Alamanda in this virtual world.
"It seems that you have awakened part of the memory about the goddess of creation, but this happened in the distant ancient times. Most of the compatriots who fought against the eldest son have already died on the planet.
Although our technological level had developed to the aerospace age at that time, it was still no different than the eldest son. The time we bought with our resistance was, at best, just enough for us to implement our final plan and use every satellite
The Tower of Promotion built in the center of the Doomsday Refuge, and the powerful spiritual power that comes with our talents, transform ourselves into disembodied spiritual beings.
After transforming into life forms, theoretically we have the ability to escape from the surface of the planet and survive in the universe, and at the same time we are almost immune to any physical attacks.
If the plan develops normally, our race may be able to survive without changing its life form. But when the first tribesmen who changed their life forms observed the world from a new perspective, they discovered a terrifying scene.
From the perspective of the soul form, I saw the soul of the eldest son, which was a huge soul that could cover the entire planet. The eldest son was more powerful at the soul level than he was at the material level. All the tribesmen who had completed promotion through the Tower of Promotion,
After being transformed into an energy life, his mind was destroyed in an instant, and he became a crazy existence without self-awareness."
…
"We are not survivors, we are just artificial intelligence left behind by the previous civilization. I ask you to take away all the information of our civilization. This is the only thing we can do for this civilization." The hologram with a kind face
Projection and opening the mouth, a suitcase was pushed in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren had never thought that a suitcase could be so heavy. It was the tombstone of an entire civilization. Although he had come into contact with the tombstones of civilization before, he had not experienced this process personally, and it could only be regarded as an ethnic group.
The tombstones of a branch cannot be regarded as belonging to an entire civilization.
"I will take away your civilized information and keep it properly. This is also my responsibility. Is there anything else I can help with?"
The artificial intelligence in the holographic projection paused for a moment, and then said: "If your technology allows, please help us find the lost data ark. Before the disaster of annihilation completely struck, we once received an artificial artifact that fell from the sky.
Satellite, artificial satellite has delivered us a server with a total weight of only 3,000 kilograms.
The technical level contained in this server has surpassed all of our understanding. We can't even tell whether it is a mechanical body or a living body. The artificial intelligence on the server tells us that it is the assistance of the people of the starry sky to our civilization, and
It predicted the coming of the doomsday disaster.
This special server is a giant thinking container that can carry consciousness. It can maintain the consciousness of up to 500,000 intelligent creatures running at the same time, and maintain stable operation for a long time.
The consciousness of intelligent creatures is sophisticated and fragile, so it cannot be directly uploaded to a hard disk for storage like artificial intelligence. Otherwise, the intelligence in the consciousness will be lost quickly, and eventually it will become no different from artificial intelligence.
Therefore, in the Data Ark, there is a virtual world that is difficult for us to distinguish between true and false. People who are uploaded into the virtual world will gain eternal life in the virtual world. As long as their thoughts are still running, they will not die. If in the future
If the Data Ark is found by other civilizations, or lands on a planet suitable for survival, it can be used as the seed of our civilization to reproduce again.
What we have to do is to select the seeds of civilization and then launch the Data Ark into space. After the Data Ark of only 3,000 kilograms is launched into No Man's Sky, it is even smaller than a drop in the ocean. Even if it is
The eldest son can't find the tiny ark in the vast deep sky. Of course, we can't find it ourselves. The mystery of the starry sky tells us that if we have the ability to find the ark, no matter what kind of marks we leave, the eldest son can read it.
Take our thinking, and find and destroy the Ark. So after the Ark was launched, we lost all contact with the Ark.
Only the people of the starry sky have mastered the identification signal of how to find the Ark in the vast universe. Our civilization may not be extinct yet, and maybe there are still people who have survived, so I hope that if you can do it, please help us find the Ark.
The data ark of the seeds of our civilization. If they still survive, please give them the tombstone that contains all the information of our civilization."
Hao Ren didn't expect that the extinction of civilization would turn around. What exactly are the people of the starry sky made him curious, but after asking, the Tanagus people knew nothing about it. They just received gifts from the people of the starry sky.
The server I came to had no idea what kind of race this was and what this race was dedicated to.
…
"The existence of the Ark allowed our civilization to survive when the end came. Half a million people were finally selected and uploaded to the virtual world. They were also launched into the deep space of the universe, waiting for the people of the starry sky.
Find us."
Lan Nuo discovered that this paragraph was not in the plot, and perhaps it was a rewrite of the plot by other selves who had traveled to this world at different points in time.
So far, everything seems to be relatively normal, which explains why they live in a virtual world. However, there are obviously some problems with the current operation of this virtual world.
"I think you have also seen that the virtual world we live in now has a lot of bugs. Even after the aliens' high-end technology has been baptized for thousands of years, it is still gradually becoming unable to operate. Now this
The computing power of the world is already very reluctant to maintain the operation of the virtual world. This is actually the result of the virtual world operating in an extreme energy-saving mode. Including our previous state of losing memory and being confused, it is actually one of the costs of the energy-saving mode.
It's just that we have borne the price, but some people have been exempted from the price and have seized power that does not belong to them."
Lan Nuo had vaguely guessed something. However, he still wanted to hear the other person say it himself. Although the history in the other person's mouth was not necessarily true, it was still valuable for reference.
"According to you, we should be the ones who were selected to enter the Ark in history, but why did we become like this? What were the selection criteria back then? If we have been living in this muddle-headed way, what will happen to our inheritance?
What’s the point of civilization?”
"This starts from a mistake we made back then. We didn't pay enough attention to the warning of the people of the starry sky. We didn't realize the great significance of the existence of the Ark to our civilization. We still focused most of our energy on
Invested in the Ascension Plan. Most of the manpower and material resources were invested in the construction of the Tower of Ascension. The Ark was more like an alternative plan, more like a foolproof insurance.
Under normal circumstances, candidates for half a million people should choose people from all walks of life, ensuring that these people master almost all our knowledge and have a complete set of knowledge and experience in the industrial system.
But in the actual operation process, many people were attracted by the condition of immortality, so that the process of consciousness uploading was interfered by a few caring people. The opportunity of consciousness uploading has become a rare thing. I think you should be able to understand
There is a dark side in any society. Even in the face of doomsday, not all rulers are upright.
Therefore, a large number of relatives and descendants of high-ranking people and some elderly rulers were stuffed into the Ark. They did not care about the continuation of civilization. All they cared about was their own eternal life.
This led to problems in the development direction of Ark after it was launched.
When we first arrived in this data world, we felt that this place was simply heaven. Even heaven is not as beautiful as here. In the data world, each of us is omnipotent. No matter what we want, we can get it through fantasy.
It is a dream come true in the true sense. The aliens' technological level is extremely high, and the virtual world can completely deceive all our senses. And that period was also the happiest period for all residents of the data world.
The people of the starry sky treat us who have uploaded self-awareness equally. Each of us has exactly the same permissions. In the true sense, everyone is equal. However, in the virtual world, all enjoyment is just
A string of numbers, so it can be said to be extremely rich in material. For a long time, there was no contradiction between people, and each of us was immersed in our own dreams.
Or you want delicious food without any worries, or you live in a house with your envious partner, or you experience the natural scenery around the world.
But soon, the problem emerged. Not everyone wanted to experience it, and it was all that cheap.
We forget that the server itself also needs maintenance, and that the server itself also has an upper limit of carrying capacity. In the deep space of the universe, the server does not receive any maintenance. Any aging damage that occurs is beyond our ability to repair, and
There is no doubt that the greater the computing power used, the faster the damage will be.
If all we want to be satisfied is food companions and experiencing the natural scenery on the planet, then this little bit of computing power is naturally nothing to the Ark.
But after the most basic material needs are met, intelligent creatures will undoubtedly pursue higher needs, that is, spiritual needs. They pursue higher social status and the recognition of others.
Under the premise that everyone has the same authority, it is obviously impossible to experience the feeling of being superior to others with real people like us. So if you want to experience the feeling of being in a high position, the easiest way is to create a large number of specialized
People who serve themselves, these artificial intelligences that are not real people, occupy an extremely huge amount of computing power, which gradually puts pressure on the server. However, everyone's authority is equal, so initially no one can restrict this kind of artificial intelligence.
Extravagant waste of computing power.
We received multiple warnings in a row, and the server continuously alarmed us, and told us that if we continue like this, the server's operating life will be reduced to less than five hundred years, and five hundred years is far from enough to kill all the eldest sons around the world.
We must limit our use of computing power so that we can support the people of the stars and take us away."
Lan Nuo nodded and said: "So for the long-term continuation of civilization, we have established an order and formulated rules, right? If I guessed correctly, did the group of people who held high positions on the planet use their prestige?
, secretly usurping the right to rule in the new order?"
The bald masked man did not expect that a newly awakened being could keep up with his own thoughts, but he still nodded and said: "That's right, when selecting candidates for consciousness uploading, there was no strict screening, which ultimately led to disaster.
consequences.
At first we did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Everyone has equal authority. In this way, everyone is naturally equal, and there is nothing to be afraid of even if order is established.
Those who maliciously waste computing resources, create a large number of artificial intelligences to serve them, and become emperors themselves are deprived of all creation and their authority under our joint judgment.
Although everyone's authority is equal, when the authority of two people conflicts with one person, the authority of the smaller party will be suppressed. The minority obeys the majority. This is a matter of course, but the rules are
