Half-immortal civilization

Time ticked away, but Yan Ming and the Yanscar adventure group were busy going around. For this adventure, everyone has made a lot of determination.Not to mention anything else, the distance of 1500 light years, even with the current technology, the round-trip time, plus some exploration delays, add up to 50 years without any problems.Even if the life expectancy is generally extended now, especially after the popularization of practice, many people live longer than 200 years old, or even 500 years old, but 50 years is still not a time that can be wasted casually!
But now Yan Ming and his subordinates are all busy contacting this alternative civilization.And it is divided into two dials.One wave gets in touch with that mechanical life society, and the other gets in touch with those fallen intelligent life forms.

The two connections use different communication technologies, different coding technologies, etc.; it is not surprising that today's Chinese civilization has come up with two completely different communication technologies, and it has merged the entire Pearl Starfield!It also has contact with the ice civilization, etc.; and it also has the foundation of practice civilization, and even merged with the elf civilization!The signal transmission method of the elven civilization was very interesting.

However, it will take three to four years from here to the destination, so for the time being, we can only passively obtain information through contact; in the universe, slowing down is always a serious problem, and it is a waste of time.In addition, in order to reduce the enemy's vigilance, many of the probes launched did not directly rush into the enemy's vigilance range; instead, they were mixed in some nebulae and drifted with the tide; even the probes were hidden in meteorites.And of course.The technology used by these detectors to transmit signals is also completely different from the previous two communication methods, and the possibility of causing the other party's discovery is minimized as much as possible.

Whoosh... Whoosh... 27 spaceships shuttle rapidly through space.Every flash is a distance of tens of billions of kilometers.Hundreds of times faster-than-light space travel technology is now almost a public technology, and even ordinary expedition fleets can buy it—provided you have sufficient financial resources.Of course, after continuous research and development, the cost is now extremely low.

Seeing that the distance to the target is getting closer, the received signals are getting more and more clear, and two magnificent nebulae gradually appear in the distant space.

I said it earlier.There are two nebulae at this location, one is the North America Nebula.That is where special civilizations are found; there is also the Pelican Nebula.Among them, the Pelican Nebula is almost twice the diameter of the North America Nebula.

But again, we can see the shape of North America and the Pelican, also because it is blocked by the dark nebula.In fact, after crossing this group of dark nebulae.The completely different nebulae that are displayed in front of us are actually not special in shape; of course, they are neither special nor special, but they also have some characteristics of their own.For example, one edge of the Pelican Nebula looks like the tentacles of a jellyfish, which is the expansion trace caused by the explosion and sprint; anyway, it looks like snail horns.

And the North America Nebula looks layer upon layer, like scattered rose petals stacked infinitely.It's just that this color is the red color formed after cooling.Uncooled nebulae are bright colors such as blue and white.

And because the distance is approaching, the high-level expedition team has already held many meetings; and at this moment, another meeting is going to be held.

Zhao Qingyun took the first place: "The theme of this meeting is. Should we focus on intelligent life or mechanical life?

First of all, from a broad perspective, we already have a lot of intelligent life.But we lack a civilization of mechanical life.

Second, in terms of safety, mechanical life is more dangerous.

Third, in terms of cost, it is more appropriate to establish diplomatic relations with mechanical life forms.

Fourth, from the current communication situation.In this civilization of mechanical life, there are actually only a few central computers in charge.The rest are the same existence as subsidiary.

But in fact, I personally believe that it is in our best interest to subdue both sides, if possible.

Mechanical civilization is very rare, at least for now, if it is possible to subdue it, it is very important to our technological development, and even serves as a warning.

And another intelligent life, which can develop a civilization with fully autonomous robots, is also worthy of our attention.

So today's discussion is, do you have any good way to have both fish and bear's paw!And if we can't rescue at the same time, then which side should we focus on! "

It was quiet for a while.During this period of time, the meetings held have not been easy.That's right, any decision here is related to the life and death of another civilization!Although they are all inadvertent, but unconsciously, they control the life and death of others, and formulate the fate of others!It doesn't matter whether it is a moral democracy or not, it's just a natural suppression of low-level civilizations by powerful civilizations!
"Report, I have an idea!" Yan Ming stood up, "His Royal Highness, I think we can package and program the robots and stuff them into the virtual world. In this way, we can not only completely control them without worrying about harm; Robot. We can simulate a universe for robots to survive in the virtual world inside the computer.

And those intelligent beings are our key rescue targets! "

"Hmm..." Many people were surprised for a while.Don't even mention it, it's really doable!According to the current research, the core of mechanical life is just some chips and programs. Although different civilizations may have great differences, as long as humans do a little research, they should be able to pack and compress them and stuff them into computers!

This is really a great idea!At this moment, the way Zhao Qingyun looked at Yan Ming changed.Great man, it is simply a stroke of genius!This is the real best of both worlds!One is placed in the virtual world—it is a virtual life anyway; the other is rescued in reality!

"Boy, let me see how your head grows!" Li Jia jumped to Yan Ming's side in an instant, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Okay, okay, the meeting is over!" After Zhao Qingyun shouted, he was the first to leave the meeting room.These things today are really too simple - I thought it was very complicated.

But only two days later.Everyone had a meeting again; this time the meeting was not about discussing anything, but—a few small probes finally entered the territory of this mechanical life along with meteorites; everyone was careful to contact before.I am afraid that an inappropriate connection will cause direct hostility from the other party.

Different from ordinary intelligent life, mechanical life has a strong endurance!Whether it is the icy space or the planet with hundreds of degrees, it is their survival base.As long as they have resources and energy, they can reproduce wirelessly-at least in theory.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why many people in Chinese civilization are clamoring for the mechanization of civilization!

The largest robot is simply a spaceship!But this spaceship is completely different from the spaceship of intelligent life; the simplest thing is, don't pay attention to sealing!
they.Does not require moisture, does not require oxygen; the tolerance to temperature, radiation, etc. is beyond imagination.What's more, their body shapes are completely different!

Some have the same structure as human beings.Some are insect-like; there are even nano-robot structures like jellyfish.And there is also a huge difference in size, some are only the size of a palm, and some are simply huge spaceships!Yes, here's the spaceship itself.It is a complete mechanical life!

At this moment, the probe is hidden in the meteorite, just in time to see a spaceship!
This spaceship is nearly 70 kilometers in length and 3 kilometers in diameter. It has a mechanical arm all over its body. It looks like an oversized centipede, but it has three rows of "arms". Palm, this robotic arm is two kilometers long.In the opening and closing room, hold the meteorites in the space, and then directly spray some ion rays to smelt them!Ten seconds.A meteorite with a diameter of hundreds of meters will become a simple metal, and the remaining material will be thrown into space, filling the space with dust and debris.

Some arms are scissors, some are gun barrels, some are three fingers, some are engines, etc.; some are even a kind of "worm nest" - there are a lot of nano robots and detectors inside.

Suddenly, the detector detected a scene that made everyone angry!I saw that this centipede-like mechanical life suddenly opened its "leg", and then threw a glass-filled transparent container into space.Inside was a life that was obviously made of flesh and blood—it should be the native intelligent life here.

However, the next moment, this intelligent life was suddenly thrown into space.vain struggle!But there are quite a few mechanical beings watching around!

These onlookers saw mechanical life forms, including giant mechanical centipedes, palm-sized spiders, some that imitated the shapes of native intelligent life forms, and some that looked like tigers, leopards and snakes.Obviously, mechanical life is very flexible!Maybe, they can change their bodies at will!
Soon, the intelligent life stopped struggling in space and opened its mouth to protrude some bubbles!This is caused by the low pressure in space, and the living body has already boiled; and obviously, the high technology has prevented this intelligent life from being frozen to death, but boiled because of the low pressure!
One bite, another bite!These mechanical beings are actually playing "bubble blowing"!

And then it didn't stop, another "person" was pulled out, and then—playing with dismemberment...

There will be not only intelligent life, but also ordinary animals.

Of course, although bloody and brutal, some neurotic scientists on the Chinese civilization side pointed out that it is very likely that the other party is doing research!

It's just that this research...is really unbearable for normal people!
Of course, to be honest, scientists in Huaxia have dissected intelligent life, but at least everyone has not made it public!Unlike now, this is simply killing!There are even mechanical life forms that brutally sneak into the bodies of intelligent life forms, and then... Forget it, harmony comes first...

One after another, intelligent beings were pulled out, and they had no power to resist under the powerful mechanical force!

"Crack!" Zhao Qingyun crushed the cup in his hand at once, "I think mechanical life still can't get along with us, let's turn them into programs and put them in the computer world. Do our best to rescue the intelligent life here!"

Seeing the scene at this moment, everyone immediately abandoned the previous discussion.Such a brutal situation can be seen from just one corner, and the situation of the entire civilization can be imagined!
