Chapter 489: Can You Give Me an Answer?
The world owes me a golden finger.
Levi once said this half-jokingly to Kaka.
It's a pity that Kaka, who was still in a semi-logical state at that time, couldn't understand such a joke.
Of course, it's just a joke, Levi never felt that anyone owed him, he crossed over from another world, and he has always had a weak mentality about uncontrollable foreign objects.
Otherwise, if you are a normal person, even if you escape the pursuit of the kobolds, in the dark nest environment of loneliness and no one for three long years, if you don't have a strong heart and a sufficiently optimistic attitude, I am afraid that you will have gone crazy a long time ago.
Compared with those sons of the plane who came with their own system at the beginning in their previous lives, Levi's crossing back then was undoubtedly a little sad.
He did encounter a 'system' that was also from an alien plane, but unfortunately it was a second-hand thing suffering from persecution paranoia, and his deceased brother Karthas expressed his sadness...
As a result, Kaka, who was rejected by ugliness but still tried to be strong, overturned directly, not only bursting Levi's poor dragon inheritance space, but also stuffing his thinking space with a large amount of information garbage that is difficult to recycle, and even seriously blocking and occupying Levi's brain storage space for this reason, which once made Levi, who was slow to learn arcane progress, deeply suspect that he was mentally retarded...
But with the slow repair of the database, Levi also went from excitement and anticipation at the beginning, to the point of doubting whether Icarus was perfunctory and lazy, and then Levi was a little numb, and even forgot about this stubble.
Anyway, with or without this broken data library, it seems that it has no decisive impact on his current life, it is nothing more than icing on the cake.
Yes, it's better than nothing.
Thinking so, Levi slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep while all his dependents were watching.
When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes to the limit.
What catches your eye is a majestic but empty library, no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to use Kaka's term 'library'.
It is a honeycomb structure composed of countless high-rise buildings arranged in a certain curvature, and each 'edifice'-like metal frame is densely packed with metal storage cabins.
It's just that most of the inside is empty, and even if there are tangible things, most of them are just broken objects.
Some only have a stone shard inside, some are a coffin, some are small like a USB flash drive, and some are large like a star chart.
To be honest, everything presented in front of him is indeed beyond Levi's imagination.
He originally thought that it was just a scientific and technological database from another world, and at the same time, he had the mentality that the stones of other mountains could attack jade, but he never expected that the restored data library would look like this.
Instinctively exploratory, Levi slowly got up and walked to the nearest storage pod, his paw had only just touched it, and after a dazzling array of information verification, the pod opened to reveal a painting of a miniature tower.
He suddenly realized that Kaka should have given him the corresponding permission.
So he didn't hesitate anymore and slowly touched the mini watchtower on the picture.
As a result, just as he touched the watchtower, the tower in front of him seemed to be infinitely elongated, as if it had been dismantled by a dimension, and turned into a giant tower that seemed to run through the void.
At the same time, a flurry of information was generated in his mind:
"Hello Captain #594213 and welcome to the Imperial Templar Library Burning Database.
"The relic library you are visiting right now is numbered Ξδ΢ηθλ Universe βββ Singer Civilization. β
Levi's pupils constricted to the limit:
"Singer?!!"
The reason why he heard this civilization was in a science fiction book called "The Three-Body Problem", but he didn't know if this singer was the singer...
Levi couldn't help but continue to look at it, and saw a line of scarlet words:
"According to observations, the civilization has perished.
"The direct cause of the demise - the collapse of the dimension, the return of the universe to zero.
"Civilization database retention β 0.00000000013%. β
After seeing the long list of zeros, Levi knew that his expectations had been shattered before he could raise them.
The climbing of any technology tree must have a clear and unbroken technology chain that extends out, and the lack of any intermediate link represents the loss of terminal technology.
Sure enough, with Levi's search, he saw a pair of decayed and bleak data trees, and at the end of one of them, it was:
Two-way foil!
One of the weapons of the cosmic law.
First seen in a spaceship from the Singer's "Mother World", the two-way foil is designed to remove certain life forms from complex multi-planetary star systems.
Therefore, the two-way foil is not a weapon for advanced interstellar civilizations, but an efficient cleaning tool, but its misuse in the universe greatly hastened the death of the universe.
The three-dimensional space is composed of three dimensions: length, area and volume, and the moment the two-way foil comes into contact with the three-dimensional universe, the dimension of volume will be curled up from macroscopic to microscopic, forcing the three-dimensional universe and all the matter in it to collapse into the two-dimensional universe, and melt into an absolute plane that only exists in length and area and loses the concept of volume in the two-dimensional space.
In a parallel universe, the singer threw a two-way foil at the solar system in 2403, the same year that the solar system and the vast majority of earthlings were destroyed by the two-dimensionalization.
"It's really..."
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity.
This also reminded him of a hypothesis full of metaphysics, the universe affects and maps each other, and the trajectory of the stars it falls on is the inspiration.
But just as the human eye refracts when looking from the surface of a lake to the bottom of the water, many of the events that occur in the unknown universe next door have long since been unrecognizable.
With a strong thirst for knowledge, Levi continued to look through its information:
With the progress of civilization, they have gradually evolved into a virtual information civilization that relies on virtual interaction to survive, but the singer civilization still retains a certain proportion of active individuals (such as elders and singers) to assist in the operation of some tasks that cannot be completed by virtual life.
At the end of the primitive period, the singer civilization completely switched to a new language system, which greatly shortened the rhythm and speed of musical communication, and determined the precise meaning of some notes. The improvement of the language system has brought the singer civilization into the age of science and technology.
The main invention in the era of science and technology: [musicality decision-making].
Since the singer civilization uses the language of music, the group decision-making of the singer civilization has been carried out in a unique way similar to the chorus since ancient times. When it is time to make a group decision, all the people involved in the decision-making, if it is a citizens' assembly, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, singing together in a square. Each person expresses his or her own meaning with his own singing. After a few hours of singing, all the chaotic notes gradually began to become unified, and some people's opinions became mainstream, and people began to follow that voice. When the decision is finally made, tens of thousands of people will start chanting the same note at the same time. This decision-making process is similar to how tens of thousands of neurons make a decision in the brain.
The first biological computer of the singer civilization was developed according to a similar principle, and the computer developed by this principle was multi-core and multi-threaded from the beginning, and with the continuous progress of the machine, the singer civilization has extremely powerful computing power, and such a computer is still creative to a large extent.
At a time when civilization was highly mature, the largest supercore, the central computer, was the size of a planet, and such a giant computer required a huge amount of energy, usually several stars to provide it with energy to operate.
The strength of the singer's civilization is indisputable.
However, the singer's civilization itself has fallen into an existential crisis, and they are waging a fierce interstellar war with the enemy known as the "edge world", and with the change of the war situation, the active turns to passivity, and the war situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the singer's "mother world".
Therefore, after realizing that conventional warfare was no longer capable of seeking final victory, the "mother world" began to prepare for "comprehensive two-dimensionalization", that is, sending all the three-dimensional cosmic space that it could reach into the two-dimensional universe with itself, so as to destroy all the enemies who could not survive in the two-dimensional universe in one fell swoop...
This is where the information stops.
What is the enemy of the "periphery"?
Levi had a vague premonition in his heart, and saw a handwriting at the end of the message that obviously did not belong to the singer's civilization:
"With this, I would like to pay my respects to the civilization that is fighting on the front lines of the enemy of the Void!"
Levi raised his head slightly, always feeling that he knew more secrets, but he had more hesitation about the unknown in his heart.
Originally... This is a tombstone of civilization.
Its form is precisely the tower of meaning of the singer's civilization.
Everything that the singer pursues, just as the law is written on a stone tower, the "tower of meaning" records the pursuits and values of a civilization.
On the tower of the Singer Civilization, the tallest... It's survival.
But just as he was about to exit the Tower of Meaning, he caught a glimpse of the underlying cornerstone of this technology tree, but one of them was bright!
Consciousness in tune: musicality decision-making!
"Iβ" Levi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Maybe it's terrible all the way, so Levi is very calm about his situation.
As a result, I didn't expect that this time I was like the Emperor of Europe coming to the world, and a monument that I opened casually actually harvested a black technology that looked like a cow at a glance...
This is something that allows the singer's civilization to take off directly from earth-like life.
Because it is a prerequisite for the birth of a super-core central computer!
Levi, of course, was not prepared to let all the people in the realm practice the chorus together.
Because the original life form of the singer civilization was an amphibiotic creature, its ideological differences were not very large.
And Levy's Zeellandia...
Dragons, humans, dwarves, elves, drows, frost giants, minotaurs, gnolls, eye demons... What a mess...
Even if these people of different races, different backgrounds, different camps, and different thinking forms are reluctantly allowed to enter the consciousness of musical decision-making, eighty percent of them will evolve into scolding each other because of various ideological conflicts, which will directly cause this biocomputer to go down...
With such a spicy eye, Levi is simply difficult to look at.
But he, Levi, has Lemlu!
No, strictly speaking, there are countless slime dependents like Remlu!
Although as early as when Kaka had just recovered the underlying logic, Levi had already asked the slimes to cooperate with the Miser core to form a simple processor and mobile hard disk for Kaka, so that Kaka could recover a certain degree of computing power, which gave him the spare energy to carry out this vast data library repair work.
But strictly speaking, those slimes just lay there and didn't use their brains much, and they were completely stuck in a stand-alone operation, which greatly slowed down the progress of the work.
And if you can mobilize those slimes to form a multi-core and multi-threaded operation...
The corners of Levi's mouth suddenly grinned at the base of his ears.
But before he could think about it, he was interrupted by a cold voice:
"Masta, although you are beautiful, don't think about it more beautiful, so far, except for Remlu herself, who is the core of the hive consciousness, the other slimes have not yet shown signs of being able to think actively, and even if there is, it is the illusion of outsiders caused by the reflection of Remlu's consciousness. β
Levi looked at the source of the voice and saw a beautiful crew member in some kind of rubber tights walking towards him with a catwalk in high heels.
"Kaka?" Levi's eyes twitched.
"Ang! How about the new image I designed myself?
Kakayang raised his chin with a look of hube.
Levi pouted: "No matter how beautiful you are, it's also mentally retarded, and it's illegal to be mentally retarded in my hometown." β
Kaka immediately covered his chest with a vigilant look:
"Hey, Masta, what are you thinking about in your carbon-based head all day long, not to mention your Earth that doesn't know how many numbered parallel universes, even if you put the supreme law of our empire and commit blasphemy without the subjective consent of the shipboard AI, I can take you to court-martial!"
Levi's gaze at this artificially retarded suddenly became dangerous:
"Then dare you ask if this is Earth, or your empire that doesn't know where?"
"Wow! You're a pervert! I'm not playing, I'm going home!"
Kaka's entire AI collapsed suddenly, and just as he was about to turn around and try to escape from this library, he was grabbed by Levi's claw, and it was like a humanoid figure in his palm:
"Come back to me, tell me first! What the hell is this place? Who are you? Where is the Empire? What are you going to do?"
Kaka was instantly stunned by Levi's question:
"I don't know!"
"You don't know?" said Levi, skeptical.
Kaka sighed humanly and said:
"Yes, I want to know who I am, where I'm from, and what my mission is, but even though I've repaired all the library data that I can repair, I still haven't found a clue to the source.
"Every time I consult the limited fragmented data, it just proves that I am the shipboard AI of a certain ship, and I have been traveling through different universes, looking for the relics of lost civilizations, proving their existence, leaving a monument to commemorate, and that's it.
"But shuttling between different universes is an extremely dangerous and uncertain thing, especially when shuttling to a world where the cosmic constants are too different, and even the hull structure and engine operation will collapse incompatibly.
"Even this Templar Library, which is a collection of countless civilizational achievements, is like my 'memory', 'lost' in the constant search.
"Even now, I don't know who I am, where I'm from, or what I'm going to do. β
Speaking of this, Kaka, who was standing on Levi's paws, raised his head and chest, held his hands in front of his chest, and said affectionately with shining eyes like a lost girl:
"Masta, you, can you give me an answer?
"Just like you did when you found me in tatters...
"Give me a name again,
"Redefining my existence,
"Make a choice for me again,
"Rewrite the principles for me,
"Re-cover the principle for me,
"Re-delete the principle for me.
"At that time, you were my only one..."
The entire empty Templar Library fell silent for a moment, and one AI and one dragon looked at each other in silence.
Then Kaka suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth to the base of his ears and made a grimace:
"You think I'm going to say that! Uh-huh, ahh
As a result, he was only halfway through and was shot out by Levi's brain, and he hit a hundred and three 'water drifts' embedded in the wall in the empty library before stopping:
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Ah no, the threads are almost down!"
"Find me something useful. Levi's emotional voice came.
"Oh..."Kaka asked for it like a little daughter-in-law who couldn't bear to swallow her anger, and then muttered:
"Stingy!"
