Chapter 594: Odegar's Civilization β
The Odegar civilization β a separate artificial intelligence body, and in the strict sense, it cannot be called a civilization, but an individual.
But the Odegar civilization β must judge itself as the Odegar civilization, because without it, it will not be able to do anything.
The main control computer of the Ark of the Universe was written by the Odega, from the most basic computer numbers at the bottom, to the complex and rigorous data chains, from the hardware to the shell, all the main control computers were created by the Odega.
The program of the master computer is to serve the Odega, but now, the Odega people are completely wiped out, and the master computer has no service object.
The end result is that the master computer will no longer have access to tasks, no one will give it instructions, and the master computer will always be paralyzed except for self-maintenance.
In order to be able to act, the master computer must define itself as a member of the Odegar civilization, the successor of the Odegar civilization, and serving itself is equivalent to serving the Odegar civilization.
As a result, the Odegar civilization β issued a series of tasks for itself, and these tasks all revolve around a core - the continuation of the Odegar civilization.
The current star system is an extremely harsh environment for the Odega civilization, β stars will release super powerful electromagnetic pulses in a fixed period, and the Odega civilization must β leave this star system and go to other star systems, so as to save the Odega civilization from danger.
It began to disassemble some parts of the Ark of the Universe, smelt them into mechanical parts, and then combine them with the robots in the spacecraft to assemble a space robot with a simple structure but limited autonomous movement in space.
These robots are built to mine hydrogen resources for deep space voyages across star systems.
The Odega civilization was much more efficient than the Odegars β, starting from scratch and preparing material resources in only eleven years.
When the tail flame of the plasma pulse was lit up again, and the period of the stellar electromagnetic pulse was calculated, the Odega civilization β embarked on an interstellar journey across the distant light-year scale, just like its creators.
It took seventy years for the Odega civilization β reach a star system 3.6 light-years from its departure star.
This star system is rich in resources, and the Odega civilization that arrived here β began to develop, and space robots were created to build mining stations on various meteorites in the asteroid belt to mine usable metals and non-metallic resources.
The available material resources began to become abundant.
There is a unique smelting environment in space, alloys can be forged in a gasless environment, and the Odega civilization does not need β to eat like the Odega, it only needs to eat hydrogen.
Or eat the electricity produced after hydrogen fusion.
Later in the development, the Odegar civilization began to build new spaceships in order to facilitate β movement, and moved the metal smelting furnace to the spaceship, in addition to the mining station.
Transform a spaceship into an integrated mining station, the spaceship only needs to land on the meteorite to deploy, it is a mining station, and when the material resources of the meteorite become scarce, the mining station is retracted, out of the insignificant gravitational pull of the meteorite, and becomes a spaceship again.
This was the first fleet β the Odegar civilization, a fleet that was completely incapable of fighting.
After gaining a foothold in this star system, the Odega civilization β confused, because it didn't know what to do next, and it was to continue the Odega civilization, so it escaped from the star system that would burst out with periodic electromagnetic pulses.
Now, the Odega civilization is safe, and this star system will not cause any harm to the main control computer, and there is no sense of crisis, and the Odega civilization β not know how to act.
There is no doubt that civilization is going to develop, but the question is, how to define this development?
The Odegar civilization β completely dependent on the existence of mathematical logic, which doomed it to be like natural life such as humans, it needed a standard before it could act.
If the standards are too vague, it can lead to retarded behavior that mistakes people for dogs.
After testing again and again, the Odegar civilization β finally found a suitable standard, that is, the amount of information.
A civilization will constantly collect information from the external environment, and the 'knowledge' in the civilization also belongs to the category of this information, and the civilization can become stronger in all aspects by relying on this information.
With their goals set, the Odegar civilization β began planning interstellar travel.
If it is too rational, it is unable to conduct scientific research on its own, just the 'God throwing a sieve' is enough to make it logically dead, and it does not have the ability to 'hypothesize', and it does not 'fantasize' about certain things, which is an indispensable factor in scientific research.
These factors are directly related to the creative thinking of scientific researchers, such as wave-particle duality, when Einstein had not yet proposed this claim, the scientific community was in a state of turmoil, and no one could think of a thing that is both a particle and a wave.
If you think mechanically, you don't even think about it.
Therefore, if the Odega civilization wants to develop and grow β, it needs to go to other parts of the universe and use actual observations to obtain information.
After raising and building 300 large ships, the Odegar Civilization β fleet bid farewell to the stable star system that was its breeding ground and sailed for the depths of the universe.
If it's a story, it's probably the end of the story, and then the reader is left with three words like 'this book is over'.
But alas, this is not a story, and even so, the Odegar β civilization, which seems to be perfect and very impeccable, will still fall when it is time to fall from glory.
During its long voyage of 500,000 years, the Odegar civilization β witnessed the fall of one civilization after another, as well as many astronomical phenomena, such as animals struggling to climb from the ocean to land on a planet, and a primitive man who lit the first flame of their civilization.
I have seen supernova explosions of other stars except the mother star of the Odega civilization, and have also fallen into the gravitational traps of black holes and neutron stars, and finally escaped.
External forces did not destroy the Odegar β civilization, but it created problems internally.
The root of the problem is its logical algorithm, the Odega civilization β is just a piece of program code in the final analysis, life depends on rigorous mathematics, which leads to its creativity is almost equal to zero, don't look at it has designed so many spaceships, mining stations, etc. in the past, but this is not its wisdom, it is the wisdom of the Odega.
The Odega people store the design ideas in the main control computer, and when the design is needed, the main control computer directly disassembles and assembles the usable design solutions from the design.
Half a million years later, even the best design ideas have become obsolete, and the master computer has fallen into a situation where there is no good design available.
The Odegar civilization has stagnated.
According to the program, around the iron rule of 'continuing the Odegar civilization', the Odegar civilization β itself is an obstacle to civilization and needs to be removed.
Thus, the Odegar civilization β and began to create and nurture its successors.
