RDA Military Headquarters.

The last rays of the setting sun dissipated completely, and the sweet night breeze covered the land.

Brilliant and colorful stars cast a small light on the earth. In such a season, the light of the constellations like spiraling ribbons is also particularly dazzling.

On Hylia's space port, there was a lot of noise.

It looks like a mixed port and airport dispatch tower, with many screens and many large windows that can see the area clearly.

In the huge hall, countless people gathered. Among these people, there are people who have just returned from a trip and people who are about to embark on a journey.

Soldiers in camouflage uniforms, armed soldiers, technicians in overalls, security guards standing impatiently at various gates, space port employees hurrying to work, and cargo handling robots constantly weaving through the gaps of these obstructive humans......

Paxel, the administrator of the Spaceport, took a golf ball from a recently opened golf box and placed it on the ground.

He was young, charismatic and focused. Some say he is ruthless and cruel.

He stood up, and with a light blow, the golf ball rolled across the lawn of the room towards a practice cup.

He glanced up as the secretary approached.

"Boss, the headquarters needs you to join a video conference at 3 p.m."

"Why did you suddenly find me, or video conference, do you know what is going on?"

"Sorry, I haven't heard anything about this meeting."

Parker shrugged, looked underneath, hit the ball, and the ball went in.

Then he walked to his office, which was behind a nearby wall of glass. The secretary hurried to follow.

"Go get me a cup of coffee, remember to sugar, double!"

After Parker finished speaking, he sat casually in a chair in his office, his desk had a magnetic base, and on it, a metal rock floated in the air in an unseen place.

PURE UNOBTANIUM, WHICH IS SUPERCONDUCTING AMBIENT ORE, COMES FROM THE PLANET PANDORA, ABOUT FIVE LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

He picked up the small stone with his thumb and forefinger and placed it in front of his eyes.

UN ore, because this small gray stone can be worth 20 million per kilogram, so he can sit here and have a high-paying job that everyone envies.

Parker put it back on the base.

With six minutes to go until three o'clock in the afternoon, he took a sip of the coffee brought by his secretary, straightened his clothes, and finally turned on the communication equipment on the table.

"There's an armed fleet coming from you, so be prepared."

A man's hoarse voice came over the screen. The hologram had not yet taken shape, and was still empty in front of him, except for a teleportation code telling him that the message was coming from the Candela Center, the planet where the headquarters of RDA Interstellar was located.

No need to look at the projection on the screen, Parker knows this. The old, but still majestic-sounding voice was that of Conway, the commander-in-chief of the RDA fleet.

"The trail of this fleet needs to be kept secret, you know what to do." The voice continued.

Of course, Parker knew, and he even guessed that this operation might require the use of a terrible weapon, which is why he was so cautious that he didn't even leave any images.

"The Interstellar Commerce Administration may send someone to investigate our fleet, so that others can be careful not to make any mistakes." The middle-aged man on that screen said, "For the sake of the RDA's millions of shareholders, you can sacrifice anyone if necessary." ”

Parker stood motionless in the center of the display, with his back to the flickering data code. He didn't turn around, picked up his coffee, and drank the last bit of it.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"A very bad thing." The middle-aged man hesitated, but still spoke. His voice sounded tired and worried. "A standard week ago, we received a message from the planet Pandora from the planet Pandora, numbered Burbladbury, using quantum entanglement encoding."

Parker turned and sat down in his chair. Curiously listened to the other party's statement.

"The quantum entanglement encoding speed is close to the speed of light, and according to calculations, it was sent about three years ago, which means that it has been three years since we received this information." The middle-aged man paused.

Parker felt like he had never felt such a serious and heavy tone from the commander-in-chief of the RDA fleet.

"The report said that our transport ship was attacked by unknown forces on the outskirts of the planet Pandora, and the crew speculated that it might be another competing company." The middle-aged man said this with a hint of suspicion in his tone, "But the situation may be more complicated than that, if our transport ship was attacked on the planet Pandora, they may have been wiped out by now." Not even them, but also six other transport ships that have sailed to Pandora in the past three years, according to their speed, it is estimated that there is still one step away from Pandora Planet. ”

"Although we don't know who the enemy is, since they attacked the transport, it means that they have become the enemy of the RDA, both for the shareholders and for the planet Pandora, they are an existence that needs to be eliminated. It's all to blame on the damned Interstellar Commerce Administration, which forbids us to deploy weapons of mass destruction and restricts the development of military forces in space, otherwise this situation would not have been possible at all......"

Parker nodded, absentmindedly raising his coffee cup to his lips. The cup was empty, and he frowned and placed it on the table.

Even with no military training, he understands the difficult situation that the RDA is currently facing.

Although the enemy ahead knows nothing, it is certain that with the guarding force of the planet Pandora and the transport ships with almost no armed forces, there is no way to resist the invasion of competitors.

So if you don't secretly send an armed fleet, no matter how precious the UN superconducting ore on the planet Pandora is, it will be handed over to these enemies who attack the RDA.

"I see, please tell HQ that the RDA's armed fleet will disappear here without noticing."

……

The universe is too big, too far away, and everything that happens five light-years away is not yet known to the stars.

However, they have long been prepared for possible impending enemies and dangers, and they are still strengthening them day and night.

The Wandering Earth World.

At this time, the earth was still mainly white, and the entire surface of the planet was covered with a thick layer of frost, and there was frozen ground everywhere, without a trace of green.

As far as the eye can see, around the equipment that is taller than Mount Everest and exudes terrifying fluctuations, dense engineering equipment is like an ant colony, slowly transforming the landscape.

Since the Wandering Earth was no longer in a hurry to find a stellar environment to live in, the Star Empire found a safer area to stop after dealing with the immigration problem.

My Healing Game

After more than ten years of verification work, the Engineering Department of the Star Empire has finally developed the modification work of the Wandering Earth World from the theoretical stage to the actual construction stage.

The reason why it takes so long is because transforming an Earth-sized planet into a Battlestar is not an easy task.

Transforming a planet into a usable fortress is an easy task, regardless of the inputs and gains.

But when you consider the cost, and the role that the Wandering Earth can play after modification, difficulties arise.

Forcibly driving a planet to fight sounds very difficult, but the power required, the energy consumed, and the various problems caused by high-speed movement are destined to be transformed and strengthened from both defense and firepower, transforming the planet into a fortress, sacrificing the movement ability of this "space fortress".

Therefore, at present, the transformation of the wandering earth is mainly based on these two aspects. First of all, it strengthens the defense capability of the Wandering Earth, and then carries firepower equipment.

This is a long and vast project, so difficult that Shen Sen does not expect it to play any role at present, it should be regarded as accumulating technology.

After all, the role of the Wandering Earth is large, and now in addition to the transformation of the fortress, it also serves as a space experiment base for the Star Empire and an asteroid mining platform.

In particular, the function of the mining platform has enabled the Qunxing Empire to obtain a large number of precious mineral resources to meet the needs of the rapid development of the stars.

With the help of planetary engines, the angle adjustment and movement of the wandering earth can be carried out, and it is very convenient to approach various asteroid belts, for which the Stars Empire has built many space ports and space elevators, produced a large number of transport ships docked on the wandering earth, and collected asteroid resources from around the wandering earth day and night.

When Shen Sen came here with people, what he saw was tens of thousands of alien prawns who once lived in the ninth district, operating machines, holding tools, and mining asteroids that had landed on the ground under the command and leadership of a special prawn that was almost the same.

Now, the prawns living in District 9 are basically on this planet where humans once lived, some of them are construction teams, some are miners, and compared to humans, the strong bodies and instincts carved into their genes make these tasks seem handy and effortless for them.

"It seems that the out-of-body avatar technology has played a very important role."

Shen Sen looked at the scene in front of him, recognized the special individuals who were directing the prawns to work, and said with a little excitement.

The Outer Incarnation is a technique inherited from the Avatar Incarnation, and he has realized the importance of this technology since Shen Sen sent someone to bring Professor Grace and her team back from the planet Pandora.

Although it is currently somewhat expensive to produce, an avatar requires billions of credits.

But for Shen Sen and for the stars, it can play a very big role, enough to be worth those bills.

Exploring new new worlds, surveying dangerous areas, and even Shen Sen's outings, having such an avatar can avoid major risks.

Operators use a full-body remote neural interface to control the avatar without having to take risks themselves.

At the beginning of the action, they lie in a bedbed in the shape of a closed management capsule, which contains neural collection and feedback circuits that control the transmission and reception of sensory information from the avatar.

The link cabin also continuously monitors the operator's vital signs and avatar operating parameters. In the event of an anomaly, the link is immediately interrupted or forwarded to a technician for further analysis.

In order to initiate the link, the operator clears his mind and enters a transitional state of consciousness as the link is established.

Once the quality of the operator's connection to the avatar is stable above 99%, the link is set to active, and the operator immediately "wakes up" inside the avatar.

Link times vary from operator to operator, with a new operator getting tired and disconnecting prematurely from the avatar after a few minutes, while an experienced driver has hours or even days of link time.

On disconnecting, whether through an emergency failsafe or a conscious command from the operator, the avatar reverts to a static sleep state, while the operator consciousness is safely awakened in his or her own body.

The operation of the Avatar is limited by the sleep, rest, and dietary needs of the operator. Similarly, the avatar must be maintained through cycles of activity alternating with sleep/disconnection times, as well as through the consumption of fluids and food.

When the Star Empire got their hands on this technology, they didn't waste time on the Na'vi incarnation, but instead found a way to create a new body.

For example, now, after the researchers of the Star Empire have improved this technology, in addition to the body of the Na'vi, there is now another option, that is, the body of the prawn.

The human pilot can manipulate the prawn avatar with human genes to direct the prawn colony that has been affected by Shen Sen's thought seal and psychic broadcast to carry out effective work.

In this way, not only did the once chaotic Ninth District restore order, but also used the prawns that had been idle for several years to become a skilled engineering force in the Empire.

Therefore, after the success of the experiment, the creation of more types of out-of-body avatars has been handed over to several scientific research teams by Shen Sen as a scientific research task.

Of course, the role of the incarnation of the out-of-body incarnation may be more than that, after all, in the movie, what Shen Sen cares about most is that the "soul" of the protagonist in the end was completely moved from the human body to the Na'vi incarnation by Ava.

In a way, this is really a bit like a means in Xianxia.

Transferring the "soul" and moving the "consciousness" is full of incredibleness and deep taboos just by sounding like it.

Because from a biological point of view, the main structure of our brain is composed of tens of billions of neurons connected to each other, most of which have thousands of dendrites and connect with the branches of axon terminals of other neurons to form synaptic structures and transmit signals, forming an extremely complex structure with hundreds of billions of connections in the brain.

Suppose that technology has developed to the point where it can scan all the connections in the brain and replicate them in the brain of another body without loss, then there will be such a magical scene.

For example, there is a vegetative patient who has donated his body containing a brain, and the scientists have completely copied the results of your brain scan into his brain after a thorough repair of the vegetative person, that is, the two brains are exactly the same.

Then the "vegetative person" now stands up and stares at you with a stunned gaze.

So, who is you now? Or are you both present at the same time?

Judging from this, consciousness is definitely not as simple as imagined......
