Chapter 877: The Return of Thought
In order to obtain information about the galaxy core, the successors were again tasked with sending some of their fellow people to the galaxy core to obtain information.
The entire space-time of the river system has been compressed due to the correction of the mechanism, and the difficulty of the speed of light has increased, and in order to solve this problem, the successors have created a star-swallowing giant structure on the stellar scale.
This biological megastructure, which can approach the size of a red dwarf, is still effective due to the mass of its gravitational ring and its ability to store negative mass.
It is the best choice for carrying out galactic nuclear detection missions in the current environment.
The scout team of the successors traveled to the core of the galaxy at the speed of light, observing gravitational waves along the way, but if they noticed the slightest anomaly, they would not hesitate to hide in the faster-than-light speed.
During their exploration near the galactic nucleus, they captured a string of electromagnetic pulse signals.
This string of electromagnetic pulse signals is very strong, but because it is near the core of the galaxy, this string of electromagnetic pulse signals is not so conspicuous in the general environment, if it is not for the successors to come as scouts to obtain environmental information, I am afraid it is not easy to notice this string of insignificant signals.
After the decision, the successors decided to take a look and see what the source of the signal was.
"The signal is coming from here, I'll go and see, you guys stay away."
"Be careful, this is close to the galactic nucleus, maybe it's a trap set by the correction mechanism, and if there is an abnormality, send us a warning signal immediately."
The implication is that if there is danger, the scout team will not hesitate to abandon the individual and escape in faster-than-light speed.
It's a heartless one, but it's a common choice for the successor, so even the individuals themselves who might be abandoned are not opposed to it.
"Hmm."
As the distance closes, the individual is able to see the source of the signal through its own visual organs.
It was a spherical object, with a grayish-brown metallic sheen, but it was highly reflective like a mirror, and the sphere was not large, about the size of a fist.
This is rather unusual, because it is very difficult for an object of this size to release the kind of pulse signal that the successors receive.
Because the signal release needs to consider the problem of energy, the stronger the signal, the greater the energy requirement, and if this sphere wants to release that kind of pulse signal, I am afraid that antimatter needs to be used.
However, in this case, coolant is needed to cool down, otherwise it will not be able to operate for a long time, and it will self-destruct due to heat accumulation.
Considering the energy, conversion, signal output, etc., after careful calculation, the volume cannot be lowered, unless the sphere has only recently appeared.
But this makes no sense, because the released signal traveled dozens of light-years away, and the signal spread at the speed of light, which means that the sphere has been around for at least a few decades.
"The signal is released by this sphere."
The subject reconfirmed, looked at it for a while, and then looked at the direction of the galactic nucleus, and roughly understood the principle of the sphere, and the source of energy was not the sphere itself.
The sphere does not carry any energy, the energy comes from the galactic nucleus, and the pulse beams scattered by the galactic nucleus are refracted and deflected after contact with the sphere.
The sphere itself has a rotation, which makes the refracted pulse beam look like some kind of signal.
"This design is ...... Si actually thought of continuing himself in such a way? ”
Further analyzing the sphere, the individual unexpectedly found that the inside of the sphere is actually an information memory, which is a hard disk in layman's terms, storing compressed information.
What is even more surprising to the individual is that it is their amoebas that make this hard drive, which was created by the group of dead gatherers.
Si encapsulates his thoughts, memories, etc. in this memory, and designs the rotation of the sphere, and releases pulse signals outwards in a fixed manner.
This was done in order to continue the amoeba, and at that time, Si felt that the general trend of the race had gone, so he thought of leaving the flame of the amoeba in this way.
A future civilization arrives near the core of a galaxy, or the sphere itself drifts away from the core of the galaxy and is known to other alien civilizations.
Then, if the other party is curious enough or for some other reason, they turn on the hidden switch inside the sphere, and the compounds left inside the sphere will form a microscopic amoebic organism.
The gatherer can be revived, and even the mind itself is the same, the sphere stores the thoughts and memories of the self-replication, and what is missing is only activation and the body.
All this is uncertain, there are too many variables to control, but it is better than extermination, this is the idea of thinking at the time.
"Not a small gain."
The subject brings the orb left behind by the thought, and it prepares to bring the thought back to life.
The choice of thought was a choice made by the people in danger before, and now that the successors have found them, there is no need to continue to insist on this choice.
And considering that the intensity of the battle will gradually escalate, the inconspicuous small sphere may not be able to be intact, and the amoeba gene will continue to exist.
……
The detection of the galactic nucleus, and the thought were brought back to the successor.
There is not so much time for Si to adapt to the psychological gap after abandoning the will, and after Si is rudely promoted to the successor, he pulls it to participate in the strategic decision-making of the successors.
The main content of the discussion was how to break through the defenses of the galactic nucleus and continue the original grand strategy of reducing the galactic nucleus, which is the energy source of the correction mechanism.
"According to the feedback of the intelligence, the situation in the vicinity of the galaxy nucleus should be like this, with unknown positions binding negative matter, forming a protective shield with a diameter of tens of thousands of light-years to protect the galaxy nucleus from the mass reduction of our faster-than-light negative matter missiles."
"These space-time pillars are speculated to be the result of negative matter, although the internal structure is not yet understood, but from the overall layout, it is not difficult to see that the space-time pillars and the protective cover that wraps the galaxy nucleus are one."
"If the space-time pillar is the negative matter transmission pipeline of the protective shield as we think, then it is not the best way to complete the breakthrough with the protective shield of positive matter, because no matter how the negative matter is reduced, the protective shield will be replenished, and it is obvious from the scale that even if we exhaust most of the nebula material in the river system, we will not be able to consume the protective shield of the correction mechanism."
……
Discussions have come and gone, and none of the successors can give a good plan, either the feasibility is not high, or it is not suitable for a long-term grand strategy.
For example, composite penetration, by counteracting enough positive matter on the outer package of the superluminal negative matter missile, the positive matter of the local negative mass of the galactic nucleus protective cover is used to achieve the purpose of sending the superluminal negative matter missile into the galactic nucleus.
At first glance, it sounds very reliable, but unfortunately it is not very reliable in reality, and this situation is strictly speaking, the positive material in the river system is used to offset the negative mass of the protective cover.
But the negative mass of the shield is so large that no successor can determine the thickness of the shield.
If they keep trying, the correction mechanism probably won't give them as many opportunities.
There is also the supplement of negative mass, and the space-time column is suspected to be able to replenish the negative mass of the protective shield continuously, which means that the feasibility of the penetration purpose achieved by neutralizing the protective shield by using positive matter is greatly reduced.
