After a short exchange, Bai Ge already knew the other party's social status.

There is no equity, and it can almost be called a tool.

Their civilization is an empire, and the name is very ornate, because the bell has been translated as a cultural filter, so it is called the Orion Empire.

Because their territory is almost all over the Orion's Spiral Arm, they are not a corrupt feudal system.

All class contradictions can be compensated for by the productive forces.

When technology reaches a certain level, every citizen's desire for survival will be satisfied, and there is no way to do anything if they are not satisfied, and the power suppresses everything.

The technology of quantum information compilation can directly transmit knowledge to individuals, and everyone has a smart chip, and the terminal is in the emperor's brain.

According to the law, knowledge is distributed according to status, and the ruler has all the technology, the powerful second, and the citizen second...... And so on.

The entire empire was divided into three worlds.

The elite includes scientific researchers, military personnel, law enforcement personnel, etc.

Countless small classes, allowing them to be promoted through technological breakthroughs, military operations, etc., but no matter how they are promoted, they cannot surpass the emperor.

The emperor is a translated term that holds the sum of knowledge, technology, and military of civilization. In all the creations produced by civilization, there are ultimate directives to protect the emperor and ensure the automatic upload of expensive technology.

Even the scientific researchers closest to the emperor, what they have, the emperor has, and what they don't, the emperor also has.

The ultimate directive ensures that the emperor can concentrate the power of the entire civilization anytime and anywhere.

Citizens can theoretically also rise to social status, and as long as geniuses emerge and develop technologies that are not available in the upper classes, then they will become the new magnates.

However, this kind of thing has not happened once in hundreds of years.

The technological gap is too great, and the technology developed by a citizen in his lifetime is likely to be only one of the knowledge that a powerful person is born with.

So no citizen will do such a thankless job, and can only work for the powerful, flooding all fields.

Of course, if you are not self-motivated, you can do nothing and just enjoy life, because productivity is too high.

The obligation to work can be given to the replicator, which is the equivalent of a robotic tool, reproducing a part of the citizen's memory in place of the citizen's obligation.

Zero Kill is one such replica, and his subject is a self-motivated citizen who likes to work on his own.

Because he does the job of a watcher and pilots an atomic spaceship, he doesn't even have a body.

There are pros and cons to such a solidified class, but as long as the productive forces can keep up, then the disadvantages will hardly erupt.

However, there is also the possibility that this stability will be broken.

It was all-out war, and the civilization from the Perseus Arm invaded the Orion Empire, and the empire's first major drawback was exposed: there was almost no technological explosion.

In the war, a civilization that was originally as strong as them, and a civilization that was suppressed by them at the beginning, suddenly surpassed them.

If it weren't for the unparalleled mobilization of the empire for war, which made up for a little gap in technology, they would have been defeated.

According to the analysis of the imperial elites, the enemy is in the midst of a technological explosion, and most of them are still in the theoretical stage, but once they step into the engineering stage, the defeat of the empire is only a momentary thing.

However, empires also have their tenacious ability to survive, because all citizens can abandon them when necessary, even the powerful.

As long as the emperor survives, the empire can make a comeback.

Even if the emperor died, the empire could continue.

In fact, the core of the civilization and centralization of power is not the emperor himself, but the ultimate command system itself, so it is actually the rule of law.

The final order has a layer of priority, starting with the development of the empire, you can retreat to the empire stability item, and if this cannot be satisfied, you can also retreat to the race continuation item.

When the continuation of the race is the first criterion, the emperor can be abandoned.

In the wisdom terminal, there is an ultimate directive of the 'Law of Imperial Continuation'. When the race is on the verge of extinction, the next emperor will be automatically selected from among the survivors, giving it all the technology of the entire civilization and giving it the ultimate command.

Theoretically, even a replica has this qualification.

Even the continuation of the race is not the minimum requirement, because the ultimate command exists in every creation, and when the race is completely extinct, the creation that contains the most complete civilization and culture will choose the emperor from among the lower civilizations.

This is the 'Law of Civilization Continuation' of the lowest goal, and when the race is wiped out, their civilization, their culture, may continue in some wild alien race.

Although this minimum requirement is enshrined in the deepest part of the ultimate directive, in fact, in the hearts of the people of the Empire, the continuation of the race is already the minimum requirement for survival, and the continuation of the lower civilization is not considered at all, because at that time they are all extinct.

If there really is an existence that can destroy them, then even if the civilization continues in form, it will be destroyed sooner or later.

"Your empire is about to collapse, and you still want to go back and have a normal citizenship? This is too useless, if I were you, I would find a way to fight for the emperor's status!" Bai Ge said.

Zero Kill said: "The emperor is not for fighting, he represents the greatest responsibility." I have found that your civilization likes to compete for such a position, and then consume itself internally, because your emperor is not necessarily the most capable person to be emperor. ”

"But our civilization is different, and being an emperor itself already means that he is the most qualified emperor. With this identity, you have all the civilization, and everyone should be the same, so no one will allow the internal friction to change to a better emperor when everyone is the same. ”

Bai Ge smiled dumbly and said: "Cultural differences, don't say it won't be better, even if it will be worse, just take it if you want, this is desire, not equivalent exchange." ”

"That's because you don't have the ultimate directive. "Zero killing.

This cultural difference is brought about by the difference in science and technology, and the Orion Empire has also experienced a stage of competing for the emperor, but this era has long passed.

The ultimate directive, perfected by generations of people, controls their desires, and it is a supreme law that exists in every aspect of the empire, and the core value of their culture is 'for the empire'.

No one is going to influence the empire for their own sake, this culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even the most stakeless replicators think so.

It is precisely because of the long-term lock-in of core values that it is difficult to have a big explosion of science and technology.

However, zero kills are accidental, his culture is mixed with a part of the earth's culture, and if it sounds good, it is called a fusion, and if it is bad, it is polluted.

Even so, the ultimate directive would ensure that he would not harm the interests of the empire, and the moment he was captured, he chose to self-destruct.

It's a pity that the self-destruction failed, and Bai Ge consumed hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours of energy per second to curb this self-destruction.

This gives Zero Kill the opportunity to damage the interests of the Empire for the sake of its own desires.

In the brain hole, at this moment, he is equivalent to not being bound by the ultimate command, and with the integration of cultures, his heart suddenly became wild.

"I betrayed the intelligence of the Empire, just to survive...... But cooperation is nothing more, if you want to subvert the empire, I will be infinitely silent. "Zero killing.

Bai Ge smiled and said, "Oh, I know. So what do I get?"

"Technology, although I am the lowest level of replicators, my skill level is still superior to you in many places. There are a lot of techniques that need to be used to help me substitute for the subject, so teaching these techniques to you is also a key part of my goal. ”

"Give me the quantum information compilation technology first. Bai Ge said.

"I don't, this is the core technology of the empire. "Zero killing.

Bai Ge pouted and said, "Then hand over to me the technology that you can nurture down to the Fermi level." ”

"No, what you're talking about are the core technologies that can only be found at the elite level. "Zero killing.

"Nothing, are you embarrassed to talk to me about technology?" Bai Ge frowned.

"I found out that you can build atomic spaceships, and that's what only Fermi-level technology can do. But the atomic ship you made also has the ultimate command, are you an exact copy of my ship?"

"That's right. Bai Ge said.

"I don't know how you did it, but at least you have the basic conditions to modify the inside of the atom, in which case I can help you make a ship without ultimate commands. I have to get rid of the ultimate directive first, or I can barely do anything. "Zero killing.

Bai Ge suddenly understood, no wonder as soon as he showed his ability to make atomic spaceships in batches, Zero Kill began to ignore him.

It turns out that if you don't have this kind of subtle ability, the other party can't cooperate with you at all.

The first condition for betraying the empire is to get rid of the ultimate command, which is present in all the creation of the empire.

To make a spaceship without an ultimate command, it is impossible to be freehanded, you always need to use tools, as long as there is an ultimate command in the tool, the new creation will automatically add the ultimate command.

So if you want to make a simple spaceship, you have to borrow foreign tools, and Bai Ge is such a creator now.

After seeing that Bai Ge surpassed the ability of a normal low-level civilization, his desire to kill was stimulated to the peak, so he chose to cooperate.

Soon, Zero Kill told Bai Ge about the internal structure of the atomic spaceship, and Bell instantly understood.

"Juggernaut, we don't have the technology to the Fermi level, so we can only forcibly craft it with the ability to control things, which requires the energy consumption required to control things. The bell said.

"It doesn't matter, let's build ten trillion first. "Bai Ge is very energetic now.

Because there is no basic technology for production, it can only use the effect of brain hole super processing to skip the conditions required to control the three forces. The advantage of this is that he only needs to know what the internal structure of the atomic spaceship without the ultimate command is, and its technical content is no different from direct copying, the difference is that the energy cost is tens of thousands of times greater.

Soon, after spending a few days of energy on a red dwarf, a ten-megaatomic spacecraft was built.

The loss is atoms, and if it is a macroscopic substance, this method is not advisable.

I saw that Zero Kill took the initiative to break away from his spaceship, and his quantum information was all sent to the atomic spaceship made by Bai Ge.

The original six-mega atoms were released by Bai Ge and all self-destructed, and the brand-new ten-mega atomic spaceship no longer had the ultimate command.

"Disgusting freedom...... It's only for a short time, and when I return to the Empire and take over the main body, I'll have the ultimate command again. "Zero Kill still wants to return to the embrace of the ultimate command, and his current behavior is only a stopgap measure, and he actually treats his situation as a kind of suffering called 'freedom' that he accepts for a better future.

In this regard, Bai Ge laughed secretly.

"Once you have tasted freedom, can you really go back?"

......
