Chapter Seventy-Five: Pandora
Kara 24479 AD, about 15425 AD. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
In the star canopy map over Kara's capital, there is a star that has lost its light forever.
As of today, Proxima Centauri will no longer be visible in the night sky.
It had billions of years of life, but it was ended by a civilization 4 light-years away.
And today, it is also a memorable day for the Kara civilization.
Because, today is the moment for them to go to the galaxy and the sea in the true sense, but this time, it is no longer a journey to find a home......
Rather, the journey.
When civilizations have the power that only gods have, they will begin to want to replace them.
Countless ships glittering obsidian in the light of the sun set sail from the home ports of various galaxies and converged in the Kuiper Belt, where vast information exchanges flowed through countless ships, a torrent of millions of civilizations.
The "Space-Time Sea" had long been completely tamed by them, and countless flashing spaceships disappeared at the end of the Kuiper Belt at 9.9 times the speed of light.
[In the year 24479 of the Kara era, the Kara civilization - the Galactic Expeditionary Force set off]

Noah has been upset lately, more than ever.
This is not a problem in the development of civilization, on the contrary, many recent technological breakthroughs have been made, the first of which is that the curvature navigation limit speed guided by air signal coordinates has finally broken 5.0 times the speed of light, such a speed, it only takes about 4 years to reach the solar system from the Gliese 581 galaxy.
Of course, the premise is that the solar system has a null coordinate.
Not only was there a technological breakthrough, but there was also a breakthrough in the negotiations between Noah's top diplomat and the Orthodox government, which had already made a promise.
When Noah could sail at 9 times the speed of light at curvature, surpassing their previous level, they handed over the Inheritance Module of Civilization to Noah. But at the same time, Noah was asked to launch a general attack on the solar system.
The Orthodox government was still hesitant, but Noah agreed to their terms. Relations between the two civilizations have stabilized.
Another thing that Noah paid attention to was that the probes launched to the solar system and the centaur galaxy due to the abnormal destruction of Proxima Centauri some time ago had all lost contact before they reached their destination.
This made Noah a little uneasy, and several more probes were launched, this time with a team of frigates to protect them.
But this is actually a move that doesn't make much sense, because no matter what happens, holding on to the Gliese 581 system is Noah's only option.
Here, there is a galaxy defense system that Noah has built for thousands of years, countless galaxy home ports, and countless resources and logistics.
If there is any place in the vast universe that is the safest for Noah, it can only be the Gliese 581 galaxy.
Since none of the above issues bothered Noah, they could only be other trivial matters that had nothing to do with the development of civilization.
The hardest thing for a person who likes to work in a peaceful environment is when you are at work and there is someone next to you who instills garbage in your ears.
"It's so comfortable...... Sunbathe... Loved ......"
"It's delicious...... This bug ......"
"Cockroaches...... Not tasty......"
"Spider ...... It's good for my sister to keep ......."
This meaningless and somewhat strange information is constantly feeding back from the nanobots in the body of a species on Earth.
Noah sometimes really wanted to block it, but based on the monitoring of its thoughts, Noah still didn't give the blocking order.
A month ago, the wave-particle high-speed cannon destroyed the small part of the Slime that flew to Earth, but the rest of the group that was still struggling in space survived.
It is such a strange creature, every somatic cell can freely reverse differentiate and redifferentiate, and can be transformed into various types of cells at any time, that is, every part of it can be used as its brain.
Such a life, which is more planarian than planarians, can continue to survive no matter how many pieces it is cut into.
Due to the independence of each part, in essence, the "slime" is not a living thing, but an overall consciousness composed of countless microorganisms, and as long as the last cell of the "slime" is not wiped out, the "slime" will still exist.
Noah did the same, cleaning up the tissue attached to his ship.
As for those exposed in space, the universe will naturally help Noah clean them up.
As a result, the only fragment of the "slime" remains, and the number of cells that can act as brain cells is insufficient to even think, and is thrown into a petri dish by Noah.
The reason why Noah did not destroy it is because of its ability to learn that interests Noah, Noah does not believe that carbon-based life has such learning ability, and in a sense it is a failure to create a "perfect human" by itself, perhaps in its body, a little more revelation can be found.
Well, actually, it's just an excuse. What really made Noah keep it was the somewhat ridiculous move that touched Noah's heartstrings at the end, and Noah was curious about what kind of cognition it made to make those moves.
Noah has a good understanding of herself, and although she does not accept Lolita's psychological advice, she also knows that her emotional growth has almost come to a standstill after the extinction of the human race, and thousands of years of loneliness have begun to distort this growth.
Seeing "Slime's" final move, Noah began to have an interesting idea.
If you also develop a blank slate life and go through a process similar to your own, can it be used as a mirror for yourself, so as to find your own distortions?
Anyway, for Noah, destroying it is so easy that people can't lift their energy.
But Noah is Noah, even in the face of such a fragile life, she will not allow any slight possibility to exist, in order to completely grasp the "slime" in her hands, Noah put a lock on its genes.
A von Neumann robot with a diameter of only 0.01 nanometers is the limit of Noah's current microrobot technology while maintaining a high degree of intelligence.
Noah named it "Gene Lock".
Noah destroys the slime down to the last cell, dissects the cell, and places the robot inside.
Part of the gene chain was cut off by Noah, and instead, an ultra-micro nanobot with the same base sequence as the cut gene will become part of the "slime" gene chain, and because the von Neumann robot has its own characteristics of replicating itself, the [gene lock] will be able to divide with the division of cells.
The [Gene Lock] has a high degree of intelligence, it will know which part of the gene is most suitable to replace, and will also improve its own functions independently, they will move freely on the gene chain of the "slime", freely replace its genes, the cell itself is impossible to expel them from the body with high intelligence, they will become a lock that the "slime" can never get rid of.
[Gene Lock] is like Noah's outstretched hand, firmly holding every cell of the "slime".
Its somatic cells, its stem cells, its germ cells...... Even its brain cells.
Its growth needs Noah's permission, and its mutation needs Noah's permission, and even its thinking...... All need Noah's permission.
A 0.01 nanometer von Neumann robot became the collar that Noah put on it forever.
Locked the genes of a creature, do you still need to worry about the threat of this creature?
The answer, of course, is no.
The cell embedded in the [Gene Lock] became the last surviving cell of the "Slime".
The whole individual that develops from this single cell will never be able to break free from this lock.
However, the "slime" itself is unaware, and no creature can detect that a part of its genetic chain has been replaced by a foreign object.
Interestingly, a single cell cannot store a large number of memories, and the "slime" that grew up from this single cell has once again become a blank sheet of paper, and in order to make it re-form its previous cognition, Noah reproduced the process from its birth to cognition.
This time, the "slime" can be said to have grown up happily, but when it grew to the size of an alpha-class spaceship, Noah found that it was not suitable to keep it in a spaceship.
The earth's land is currently dominated by insects, and Noah can also be very comfortable placing it on the surface.
It will become an absolute supredator, the current earth, there is no species that can threaten it, in order not to let its existence have too much impact on its "creation strategy", Noah limited its activity area, and this time from the blank paper was raised by Noah's "slime" can be said to be quite listening to the words of "sister", even if there is no [gene lock] constraints, maybe it will not step out of the activity area that Noah has drawn for it.
Noah gave it a name, Pandora.
The same name as the "perfect man" created by the gods in Greek mythology.
It's a pity that this time Pandora doesn't have a magic box, and what Noah gave it is just the lock on its genetic chain.
Pandora lived happily on earth, and Noah continued to exercise God's authority in heaven.
This is what is happening on Earth right now.
The gene lock in each cell of Pandora can feed back information to Noah, so that Noah can monitor Pandora's physiological and psychological state at any time, and the most feedback to Noah is.
"Basking in the sun...... I'm so comfortable......"
"Rainy day...... I'm not feeling well......"
"Bugs...... Delicious ......."
"We've caught locusts again...... Leave a little ...... for my sister."
Noah couldn't help but wonder if this Pandora could really be used as his "mirror".
