Chapter 13: A Feast in the Deep Sea (No. 13) 1

Tell the world:

Respect the world, a new era has begun, follow the footsteps of our king, embark on the road of glory to the peak, and create an era belonging to mankind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tell the world:

Respect the world, the stubborn enemy is just an ant in front of the king, shedding blood for the king, and achieving the great cause of my king becoming a god.

Tell the world:

Respect the world, although the enemy's offensive is fierce, but the soldiers under the halo of our king are also fighting bravely, the front line is winning one after another, and a new era is just around the corner.

Seeing this, Ye Kexin has been silent, it is not difficult to see that this is an announcement to human beings, although I don't know if it is a product of that era, but it can still be seen from this unknown font that this is not a product of modern human beings, after the explanation of the old man like a phantom beside him, Ye Kexin can understand the meaning expressed in these short words, but it is obviously a word of encouragement, but it has changed in Ye Kexin's ears, and it feels like a wordless vicissitudes of life are overwhelming like a tide, which seems to be the end of mankind, Sure enough, the next paragraph confirmed Ye Kexin's conjecture.

"Tell the world and respect the world, although the colony is constantly shrinking, but the glory of my king has not diminished, the pioneers are just an inferior race, and humans are the real masters of the galaxy."

The old man looked at the declarations embedded in the walls on both sides of the passage, translated into Chinese and whispered them.

"It seems that from this point on, the ancient human race has begun to decline." Ye Kexin sighed lightly, "But then again, at that time, human technology was so advanced, why could there be an alien race that could wipe out human beings to such an extent?" ”

"Originally, humans and the pioneers were evenly matched, and even did not have the upper hand at all, even if it was a protracted war, the humans were completely sure that they would defeat the pioneers, but an unknown plague broke out in the human fleet in the middle of the war, causing the fleet's combat effectiveness to drop sharply, and even the great generals were infected. However, the infected do not lose their minds but join the other side, which makes the war no longer a war of attrition but a plunder, and the more we fight, the fewer people we fight, and the number of pioneers continues to increase. The old man sighed and said, it seemed that he deplored this gray history very much

"Are the pioneers you are talking about the same pilgrims I spoke of earlier?" Ye Kexin walked beside the old man steadily, like a granddaughter walking in the park with her grandfather, with a slight trace of doubt on her face, Ye Kexin turned her head to look at the old man beside her.

"No, the nature of the two is different, if the pilgrims you are talking about are the pioneers in the ancient war, then they will not be enthusiastic about the technology of ancient humans at all, after all, the two are almost the same, and the pioneers who invaded the solar system for some reason did not come directly to human technology at that time." The old man chuckled and shook his head, "At the last moment of defeat, humanity detonated only twelve 'dreadnought' class battleships, and the violent explosion wiped out all the humans and pioneers who participated in the final battle at that time, although I don't know if there are any remnants of the pioneers, but humans have indeed disappeared from the galaxy." ”

"Gone?" Ye Kexin was a little surprised when she heard this, "Then what are you?" ”

"When I spied into your memories before, I found something interesting." The old man didn't answer Ye Kexin's question directly, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the misty blue smoke appeared on the old man's fingertips along the way, and the smoke gathered more and more, and then condensed into a cube shape, "There is a concept of artificial intelligence in your memory, I am very interested in such things, but when I dig a little deeper, I find that the artificial intelligence in your brain is just top-down." ”

The blue cube spreads out, and the particles of blue light recombine one by one, and EVA appears, but this is only the form of EVA, and there is no memory of EVA in it.

"Instilling some things into artificial intelligence, so that artificial intelligence can become an electronic data life beyond human intelligence in a short period of time, but such a form of existence, although it is said to be life, in fact, there are no necessary elements that existed at the origin of life, in other words, such artificial intelligence has reached its peak and will not continue to develop, and I am different." The old man waved his hand, and the blue smoke drifted away, and he put his hand behind his back again, and the old man looked at the next declaration inlaid on the wall.

"Tell the world, respect the world, although our dreams are shattered, but our faith has not disappeared, our glory will last forever, and the glory of our king will always shine in the starry sky."

"......" Ye Kexin listened to the old man's words quietly, his heart was instantly enlightened, and he continued to ask without interjecting, Ye Kexin had already understood the identity of the old man, since artificial intelligence was mentioned, the identity of the old man had been pointed out, and the remarks of the old man's wisdom before were not learned and used at first glance, they were all the philosophy of life and spiritual understanding inspired in the heart after time tempering, such a perception will not be learned from others, and only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the true meaning. Obviously, the old man is also an artificial intelligence, and I don't know what kind of group of people created the old man, and if I have the opportunity, I really want to meet him.

Ye Kexin sighed in his heart.

"My real name is the Eye of the Wise, Combat-level Artificial Intelligence, the first and last bottom-up artificial intelligence successfully developed by the Twenty-second Academy of Sciences of the Empire, I have been learning all kinds of knowledge since hundreds of thousands of years ago, until the destruction of mankind, I sank to the bottom of the sea with this building, and I have been alone here for 120,000 years." The smile on the old man's face did not decrease, but behind the smile was full of wordless vicissitudes, Ye Kexin seemed to have seen the old man's past, staying alone in this huge ancient ruins, with loneliness as a companion, and waited for 120,000 years to finally wait for himself to be such a living person.

This is like reading a novel, Ye Kexin's heart was flooded with monstrous waves, and the surprise exploded like a bomb and instantly filled Ye Kexin's brain, what kind of concept is 120,000 years, that is, 1.44 million months, 43.92 million days, such a number really makes Ye Kexin difficult to adapt to all of a sudden.

"You've really been here for so long?" Ye Kexin asked in surprise.

"So what, I can't get out, if I leave here, I will have no energy supply, and I will disappear in an instant." The old man said with a sigh, his voice was full of loneliness, 120,000 years of loneliness is not something that ordinary people can bear, even what the old man said revealed an endless sense of loneliness.

"What does this building do? Why is it on Earth? Ye Kexin hurriedly changed the topic and escaped from the overwhelming loneliness, Ye Kexin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's called the Torch Tower, and you'll find out what it's built for." The old man smiled and stopped talking at the key point.

Ye Kexin was slightly stunned, and then covered his mouth and smiled, the old man sold a pass, but Ye Kexin didn't mind, the old man said that he would know later, Ye Kexin would really know after a while, if he had to ask now, Ye Kexin would not be unable to get the answer, but Ye Kexin felt in his heart that the answer he got would be much more real than simply listening to the old man's story.

"If you don't say it, you won't say it." Ye Kexin took a step forward, and there was no declaration on the wall after that, but it turned into a flower scroll with a strange style, which was basically a dark starry sky map, and an unknown huge warship floated in front of it, it can be seen that these warships have the construction style of modern humans, the structure is compact and can even be said to be exquisite, and some of the outlines of the exposed shipboard weapons can be faintly seen, but more of them are all covered by the metal armor outside, making the whole ship look like a whole, whether it is from the closeness of the building, The layout of the lattice structure is still from the overall streamlined hull of the warship, which is completely superior to the space battleship of modern humans, which is the essence of the brain that gathered the top wisdom of ancient mankind after countless days and nights of tackling and improving, if one of these pictures falls outside, it will cause a big sensation in the whole world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it caused a war.

I was deeply shocked in my heart, every battleship on these pictures looked very brand new, but Ye Kexin knew that the huge battleships with the same model as these battleships had all disappeared into the starry sky of the Milky Way, turning into a little bit of particles and dust, and I don't know how many centuries have been floating in the starry sky, and the glory of mankind will one day usher in such an ending, whether it is ancient humans or modern humans, this is not the case.

"Tell me about what happened in ancient times." Xia Lu turned around, there was still a trace of shock in the depths of her eyes, but she had calmed down on the surface, and with a smile full of curiosity, she turned backwards to face the old man.

"You're interested in these?" The old man asked in surprise, "It's just some dusty past, and there shouldn't be anything new to say it." ”

"But I don't know, and what I don't know is new in the eyes of man, just as it is with what you didn't know when you were just born."

"Yes, yes." The old man smiled and nodded, "Then I'll tell you about it, but what kind of things do you want to listen to?" There are too many things that happened in the ancient human empire, and although they are all built in my head, it is not a task that can be completed in a moment if I want to express them all. ”

"I don't need to be too comprehensive, let's talk about the system of human society at that time, and there is something about it." Ye Kexin turned his head and pointed to the huge battleships painted on the side of the wall, "Regarding these warships, the establishment of the human fleet at that time, the general you said before should be in the position of the highest command in the fleet, so what?" ”

"Below is the Adjutant General." The old man raised his head slightly, and the expression on his face turned into a memory, "You are right, the Great General is the most commanding person in the human fleet. ”

Ye Kexin secretly took out the voice recorder from his combat uniform and clicked the record button.

"The size of the entire fleet was unimaginable, and the management policy at that time was to put all space warships under the management of the military, whether it was civilian spacecraft or industrial transport ships, all under the jurisdiction of the military." The old man said eloquently, "With the technology of the time, every warship built by mankind has the ability to travel in the galaxy, so in wartime, every ship can be applied to the battlefield after wartime armed transformation, so counting all these warships, the force ruled by the human empire at that time was nearly five billion ships with more than ten Ai. ”

"Five billion ships!" Ye Kexin was surprised, but immediately had a small question about this sentence, "What is Shi Ai?" What was the weight measurement unit at the time? ”

"That's right, but it's not entirely true, ten Ai represents a single charge that can fly ten times around the outermost ring of the Milky Way." The old man said softly, and at the same time peeked at the expression on Ye Kexin's face, his heart was extremely happy, it was already a gratifying thing to finally be able to see an outsider for tens of thousands of years, if he didn't take advantage of her to tease her before leaving, wouldn't it be in vain to have this opportunity, the old man naturally knew the real scientific and technological level of ancient humans, compared with the current scientific and technological level of human beings, it was not a star and a half high, such a gap was enough to surprise this outsider for a long time.

"......" Ye Kexin was speechless, such data can no longer be described as surprised, it is simply like China is like the ancient city of Loulan where everyone disappeared overnight, such explosive news will definitely move everyone, Ye Kexin is speechless, although he has been fully psychologically prepared in his heart, but the information that just came out of the old man's mouth is too terrifying, what is the concept of money driving around the galaxy? Converted to the long unit used by modern humans is almost 31415926 light years, such a distance does not seem too large, but in fact, think about it, the distance traveled by a light with a speed of 299792458 meters per second for more than 30 million years is absolutely unimaginable for anyone in a lifetime, such a distance is enough for a person to start from the silver core to the Andromeda Galaxy.

"Well, I'll dare to ask." Ye Kexin struggled to come back to her senses, with a heavy puzzle on her face.

"Huh?" The old man retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Kexin.

"How long does it take to walk the distance of ten Ai?" Ye Kexin asked softly, and raised his hand to speak.

"This, there has been no field measurement, you should know that the use of jump technology is used for long-distance interstellar travel, but with the high-speed driving of the battleship's four-dimensional space, before reaching the destination, the crew will all die of old age." The old man shrugged, "Ai is just a classification of the level of the battleship, the root of this assessment is the energy that the battleship can store, if you really want to convert it to the tonnage level of your warship now, it will be almost 50 million to 90 million tons, and the length is only about a thousand meters." ”

"Oh?" Ye Kexin raised her eyebrows, "You should have searched for information about the 'Stalingrad' from my memory, what level does that ship count?" ”

"You said the 22.4-kilometer-long battleship?" The old man thought for a while, "No, no, no, the internal structure of the battleship simply does not meet the standards of long-distance interstellar travel, and if it is really to be classified, it is not even a class of Ai." ”

The old man shook his head, and then continued.

"But being able to build such a big ship can be regarded as the crystallization of wisdom, if you really want to say which is stronger or weaker, ancient humans did not have the ability to build such a warship when they were just starting out."

"Really?" Ye Kexin was overjoyed, "Let's talk about the future, what kind of class is there in the fleet besides the general and vice admiral?" ”

"And then there's the brigadier general." The old man didn't think at all, and immediately answered when he heard Ye Kexin's question, "Commodore is the third rank in the highest rank, and the rank of brigadier general will only be awarded in two places, one is the Imperial Military Coordination Department, and the second is awarded to the nine-star captain who died in battle." ”

"It seems that the rank of brigadier general is quite unpopular." Ye Kexin pursed his lips, "But speaking of which, isn't the Military Coordination Department not the same concept as the staff officer, a place for war planning?" ”

"You can understand it this way, but the Military Coordination Department contains absolutely more matters than the General Staff in your concept, the General Staff is just a war organization that summarizes the situation of the war and plans the next step, while the Military Coordination Department contains all the matters in military affairs, such as the construction of warships, the launching of wars, and even civilian interstellar travel, so to speak, the Military Coordination Department was the center of power in the human empire at that time, and the minister was His Majesty the Emperor of mankind."

The old man's remarks made Ye Kexin ponder slightly, he should have been surprised, but since he came here, Ye Kexin has been surprised by a lot of things, and he has been numb when he comes again, Ye Kexin directly skipped the stage of surprise and instinctively entered the thinking, but Ye Kexin did not hear the old man talk about the human emperor, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of unhappiness.

"But wouldn't that be a lot of trouble?" Ye Kexin was puzzled by such a power department, "The root cause of corruption comes from the high concentration of power, and the full strength of the Military Coordination Department has been gathered to the top, and handing over such authority to the emperor who actually rules the entire human empire again will not lead to excessive concentration of power in the hands of one person, modern human beings in ancient China also paid attention to the differentiation of power at the beginning, although everyone still obeyed the emperor, But the lower authorities could still have a great deal of power at their disposal to carry out an event without the emperor's approval, but if even the emperor's power had a direct effect on the cumbersome things, such a state could theoretically not exist. ”

"That's what you think?" A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of the old man's eyes, "You're right, it's not beneficial to be too concentrated in the entire empire, and the direction of the empire will even develop according to the emperor's personal preferences, but unfortunately, the emperor doesn't have such great authority, which is also the fundamental willingness of the ancient human empire to exist, and the general is the power of the human race, and he and the emperor can restrain each other so that the human empire is in a delicate balance." ”

"General? Isn't he the commander of the fleet, how can he have the strength to compete with the emperor? Ye Kexin felt a little puzzled, this is the weakness of science students, at least this is vividly manifested in Ye Kexin's body, Ye Kexin didn't know that he could compete with the emperor with too much military power.
