"How do you still learn all this useless industrial knowledge? Get out there and get a job, these things can't help you make money, you're not a maintenance worker now, you should think about your family. ”

"Industrial knowledge is useful, and once we arrive at the new star system, it will be at the heart of our revolving and it will help us build our new home."

The other voice explained unconfidently, but this was exchanged for a sneer and disappointment on the other side.

"Heh, how many generations are that now? Industrial knowledge is useful, yes, but not this generation! Do you understand? ”

"Wake up quickly, the job of the iron rice bowl has been replaced by robots, and there will be nothing to do with you maintenance workers when you arrive at the destination, because robots do a better job than you and the cost is lower."

"You should put down these useless things now and think about how to make money."

"Even if you don't think about me, don't you think about your children? You can't bear to make her hungry? Did you have a father who did that? ”

Then came the message of a third person, who seemed to be a very young being.

"Mom, don't bully Dad, woo woo woo ......"

"See? The kids are thinking about you! Do you want to be selfish like that? ”

Then, the information record was silent for a long time, and then a sigh of deep helplessness was heard.

"Alas......"

The collector browsed the information record that had been played, and when he saw that it was finished, he asked the robot for it.

"Is there a follow-up?"

"Information... That's all there is to it... Fixed star... Unleashed... Electromagnetic pulse... Possessing a very strong... Destructive... Ark... Inside... Many data bodies... Internal information storage... are all destroyed. ”

A rolling metal sphere, with its signal lights flashing, answering the collector's questions.

The fragmentation of information records is not surprising to the collectors, because the electromagnetic pulse of the stellar star is so terrifying, as long as they can manipulate the star and create a radio silence zone centered on the star and radiating three astronomical units outward, it is completely possible, and the collectors can do it.

On second thought, though, the gatherer felt that something was not quite right.

If the original Odegars are all dead, how did the two subsequent passengers of the Ark of the Universe come about?

According to the Gatherer's idea, there should have been survivors in the original Odegar.

"What happened to the first Odegars in the cosmic ark where all electronics failed?" The gatherer asked.

The robot mechanic's reply, "The first generation... Only six hundred years... All dead... None survived... The machine is damaged... Unable to produce... Survival supplies... They... Became a beast... Fight each other... Towards destruction. ”

The robot made it clear that the original Odegar civilization was completely wiped out, and no one survived.

But this is strange, if no one survives, how did the latter two civilizations continue and how were they born? Could it be that the latter two civilizations are just outsiders who have boarded the ark of the universe halfway?

The Gatherer asked, "I remember you said that this ship has carried three civilizations, and besides you and the original Odega, how did one come to be?" The original Odegar must have survived, right? ”

"The first generation... Annihilation... None survived... Determine the facts. The robot continues to respond in a mechanical electronic tone, "The next generation is born... In... The original... Legacy... on the wreckage. ”

"Remnants?" The gatherer asked.

The robot begins to tell that after the destruction of the original Odega civilization, another new civilization built on the remains of their civilization is called the next Odega civilization.

The super-powerful electromagnetic pulse from the star destroyed all the electronic devices on the Ark of the Universe, and 99% of their chips were burned.

However, there is still a little remnant, and the original generation information that the collector saw before is a part of this 99%.

Of this ninety-nine percent remnant, part of the main control computer of the Ark of the Universe remained, which was the spark of the next generation of Odega's civilization.

The Ark of the Universe, along with its engine control, drifted in space for eighty years, and by chance, drifted into the near orbit of a gas giant in the star system, where it was captured by the gravitational pull of the gas giant and made a stable revolution.

This is the beginning of all recovery.

The gas giant itself has a stable and strong magnetic field, which can be avoided, and the periodic release of electromagnetic pulses from the stars is carried out, and when the self-maintenance process in the program is carried out to repair the engine control system inside the Ark, the Ark relies on the gas giant as a shield to finally have the spare power to repair the rest of its parts.

It took about 153 years to repair the engine control system during the self-maintenance process.

Not really, the technical level of the Odega people is backward, but the main control computer is already incomplete, and the body running the self-maintenance program itself is mutilated, and it is not possible to assign tasks well at all, and the self-maintenance program indicates which part of the Ark of the Universe to repair first.

As a result, every time the self-maintenance program is repaired, it will be destroyed after the next round of electromagnetic pulses, and the engine control system will be repaired, which is completed under the unknown number of 'lotteries'.

While the ship hides on the back side of the gas giant, always staying in a straight line with the gas giant and the star, the maintenance program begins to repair more other damaged parts of the Ark, along with other robots.

Two hundred and thirty-three years after the fall of the Odega, the Ark of the Universe miraculously resurrected again.

Unfortunately, it has no occupants anymore, and it is just a bunch of robots that need to be served.

In this way, time passed, the white horse passed through the gap, and almost a thousand years passed, and something happened to the main control computer of the Ark of the Universe.

The situation comes from quantum tunneling, although because of the self-maintenance program, the Ark of the Universe can basically survive for a longer time, but there are some parts that cannot be replaced, that is, the program of the main control computer itself.

The main control computer can replace the hardware by itself, thinking that it is sub-assembled and paralleled, and there are multiple host hardware, which can allow the maintenance robot to stagger the time for hardware replacement.

But the program inside the main control computer does not, the main control computer cannot program itself, and no one in the Odega has given it such an ability.

As a result, the internal logic bugs of the program continue to accumulate, increasing the operating load of the main control computer itself.

Eventually, the main computer crashed, repeating the meaningless retelling of the information.

Since the maintenance program began to reinstall the system, the master computer returned to normal, but this did not solve the root problem, and the master computer continued to crash after the next millennium......

One reincarnation after another, 50,000 years have passed, fifty system reinstallations, and even the backup master control data module has failed.

In other words, this fiftieth will be the last.

There is a certain part of the program that the Odega people programmed for the main control computer to come into play, and that is the crisis management plan.

It was written by the Odegar, who had not left the planet at the beginning, and if all repairs to the internal programs of the Ark of the Universe were rendered ineffective, the main control computer would have the right to customize a copy of the master control data to replace it.

This is mainly due to the fear that among the Odega, who will arrive in the new star system in the future, there will be no one who will be able to program and specially designed programs.

I have to say that the high-level of the Odega civilization at that time was very predictable, although the guess was not accurate enough, but it also vaguely foresaw the entertainment of their descendants to death.

The program that customizes the master control data runs, and the master computer still does not become, but it can call up the data template from the database, and create a new master control program according to the splicing of each program template.

This completes the upgrade of the main control program, although the upgrade is not large, but it is a leap from '0' to '1', and the main control computer relies on this, and begins to continuously upgrade its own programs.

Under such a bottomless self-upgrade, 80,000 years have passed, and the main control computer finally has 'intelligence', which can actively obtain information from the outside world like ordinary organisms, and at the same time, it will also think logically to a higher degree and deal with more complex problems.

It was born out of the Odega civilization, so it also considers itself an Odega.

It refers to the original Odegar civilization as the 'Odegar Civilization α', and it refers to itself as the successor to the 'Odegar Civilization β'.
