“…… New 'Far Travelers' have appeared, and they seem to be ...... Smart machines? What do you think? ”

In the trading enclave of Correbe, Bryning was as concerned as ever about the Lost Empire.

And the woolly bear who was pulled in with an inexplicable face replied sincerely: "I don't know." ”

Bryning shook his head with pity on his face, and said as he shook it:

'How could you not know?' Didn't you read the galaxy communication that the Far Traveler just sent? Then let me tell you. ”

With that, the manager of the trade enclave began to recite with emotion:

"We are 'Far Travelers', a group of forwarders who have carried the mission of countless compatriots and have stood here for thousands of years."

"Young civilizations, if you want to walk with us, accept this path."

"This is a possibility that has been proven by our own hands, and there is no doubt about its greatness, and it can help you go further."

After finishing speaking, Bryning pointed to a large screen in the room with bright eyes, showing the contents to the woolly bear.

"Did you see that? This path of 'synthetic evolution' that has been confirmed by the 'Far Traveler'! With it, perhaps we will no longer be shackled by the flesh! Like those machines, enter the realm of immortality! ”

He is still talking about the benefits of this "synthetic evolution", as if he wants to be one of them on the spot.

But Mao Xiong couldn't help but slander in his heart: "...... That's not what you said before......"

He knew that his boss was complaining about the genius scientist who "changed from a creature to a machine" in the Mingbo Technology Dictatorship not long ago, saying that the scientist's choice was not good, and he had completely destroyed himself.

And the reason why Bryning said this is also very embarrassing.

After the "synthetic evolution" scientist named Sinsertik sparked a big discussion about this evolutionary approach, he himself quickly disappeared from the galaxy.

Not assassinated, not dormant, but died in a comical accident.

Because after the consciousness data was transferred to the mechanical body, he began to take the initiative to use this data-based consciousness to do some convenience in the network, such as a person disguised as countless water armies to wash away his own stigma.

While visiting certain forums, he had the misfortune of infecting the mechanical body with an electrovirus, a minor problem that would not have been a problem for the genius scientist at all.

But he had a whim, downloaded an anti-virus software, and wanted to see what the situation of this "electronic war" was like from the perspective of data.

The result was gratifying, and he witnessed an unspeakable battle; The result was also speechless, as his consciousness data was attacked as a virus by antivirus software.

Because it was the first time he had become a mechanical being, he hadn't considered such a situation, and the protection of consciousness was not enough, and as a result, his consciousness data was lost in the battle against anti-virus software and was "cleaned up".

The great proposer of the "mechanistic evolution" died like those incredible surprises in the galaxy.

"Star Sea World Records" inscribed an achievement for it: the first life in the galaxy to fight to the death with antivirus software.

However, although the genius died in a comical accident, the discussion about "synthetic evolution" never stopped.

These civilizations have a vague feeling that this is indeed a feasible path, but they still lack more data to support them, and their understanding of "mechanical life" is difficult to understand.

Most civilizations are cautious about this, hoping to show them the world with someone who has eaten crabs.

As a result, the galaxy responded to their wishes, and a lost empire that had embarked on this path was born, defeating another lost empire of the day.

While the two lost empires seemed to be one in antiquity, the path taken by this newly-born "Far Traveler" seems to be the route they have been hesitating.

Not only that, but the "Far Travelers" also shared this technology, so that they don't have to explore this path for too long.

This undoubtedly gives a huge impetus to all civilizations that want to follow this path, because it is a route that can at least reach the realm of "lost empires", and even some civilizations that are not optimistic about "synthetic evolution" have become very hesitant.

However, of course, not all civilizations have changed because of the rebirth of the "Far Travelers", and idealistic civilizations still firmly believe that this is an act of collective suicide.

Some civilizations that are on the path of genes also follow the example of "Presorin" and do not pay attention to this path of "synthetic evolution".

There are other civilizations that think differently, they don't want to abandon the physical body, but they are envious of the efficiency of the mechanical body, and at the same time they don't want to give up the path of psionic and genetics.

So they decided to gather the strengths of a hundred schools and continue to walk on the path of the righteous body, and at the same time try to contact the psionic energy to see if they can obtain the grace of the virtual realm.

But in any case, the changes of "Far Traveler" still brought many surprises to the galactic civilization, especially the unenvisaged path of "synthetic evolution", which was officially included in the textbook of civilization development.

As for whether they will follow this path, it depends on their own choice.

Li Wenyuan saw the new changes in the galaxy and felt that this was a good sign.

Rebirth and destruction are the themes of the universe, but the civilizations of this small galactic place can clearly go further.

“…… This is also a credit to humanity, right? If they are left to figure it out on their own, it will be a matter of rise and fall in the process......"

He glanced at the progress of the construction of the massive structure, and then turned his attention to the Far Traveler.

He was a little bored during this time. The Milky Way Flying scientific spacecraft didn't find much interesting, and Grey Wind was busy designing her "vassal civilization" and was often away from home.

The only thing that interested him was the "Far Traveler" who had just finished the "battle for fame".

This group of mechanical consciousnesses revived from antiquity is taking over the legacy of their compatriots, and the things that the original "Far Travelers" couldn't understand, they have easily repaired.

The three "lighthouses" around the world symbolized by their faith and belief have completely become a speck of dust in the vast sea of stars for various reasons, but they do not mourn for this, but continue to stand on the "source of knowledge" and look to the future.

Stopping in one place is not a "long journey", and one day, they will leave here and leave their legacy behind.

However, now is not the time to "travel far", they still have a lot of preparations to make, and with the passage of time, they are not as good as before, and now they need more accumulation.

For this special group of "mechanical consciousness", he is also curious about how far they can go.

This is a group of fearless people who have abandoned their physical bodies and adopted mechanical bodies.

Their consciousness is not in a gestalt state like a real sapient machine.

They are connected to each other to some extent, but they have separate individual consciousness, and although there have been some changes in their way of thinking due to mechanical consciousness, they are generally not much different from what they used to be.

Even the sapient civilizations are deeply ambivalent about this new lost empire, believing that these mechanical beings should be their fellow citizens, but many differences are difficult for them to understand.

Now, by receiving the legacy of the Far Traveler, they have discovered many secrets within the country, and soon informed the Guardian of one of the most important places.

"'Database'?" Li Wenyuan received a message from the "Far Traveler" and looked at everything about this planet in the virtual world.

"Yes," continued one of the "Far Travelers," "through the memory screening of their compatriots, the most important reason why they chose to settle here is this planet full of ancient databases. ”

"They think it's a relic of the Apocalypse, but ...... We've looked it up and found that the technology used here is indeed very advanced, but it's a little different from the methods of the Apocalypse, so we'd like to ask you to take a look. ”

“…… Could it be related to humans? Li Wenyuan thought about it in his heart and agreed to this request.

As long as it has something to do with humans, he must be involved, and the former "Far Traveler" hid the news of this planet so well that even he didn't know it.

But fortunately, they didn't expose the news, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to wait for the "Ancient Traveler" to recover, and the former "Traveler" would have to be educated by him.

"I've been to see both the dead 'Watchers' and the departed 'Silent Ones', and there's nothing too noteworthy, will the 'Far Travelers' have them?"

With this in mind, Li Wenyuan controlled the scientific research spacecraft to the galaxy where the "database" was located.

The Far Traveler's borders are always open to him, and he can do whatever he wants inside.

After arriving at the "Database" without any resistance, he quickly saw the ancient databases that were crawling with various vines and plants.

The "Far Travelers" did not clean up the plants, fearing that they were also related to the data recorded here, and that cleaning them would cause damage to the database.

After a little inspection, Li Wenyuan found that these databases seemed to be in a strange state of "the intersection of the old and the new".

The oldest of the materials here is even stored in an extremely old transistor, which must be carefully touched by the slightest vibration, and the slightest vibration will cause the transistor to rupture and lose the data in it forever.

And the advanced is a strange storage that even he can't understand how to extract, although rustic, it has a sense of sophistication that seems to come from the far future.

Suspicious, he cautiously connected the drone to one of the ports to which it could connect, as it seemed to be proof that the former "Far Traveler" was researching here.

Then he found out that these data encryption methods that he could access were indeed very strange, and he thought that this should be a human method, but he actually decrypted it for a while before he found that it was very different.

It's like there are many creatures that are very similar to human beings in all aspects to encrypt the information here, and even the means are very similar, but the decryption is completely infeasible with the current method, like something specious.

Of course, he also found something in it that was definitely left behind by humans.

That's a piece of data overlaid with a lot of seemingly cluttered characters, but when those characters are parsed, the data is encrypted with a few "questions".

[This is a message encrypted by a genius girl "expert"! If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded! 】

【Please listen to the question:】

[1. Why don't fish talk?] 】

[A. Because the fish can't talk B. Because the fish is in the fish tank]

[2. When does the clock not go?] 】

[A. The clock never goes B. The clock does not go when it comes to the end]

[3.What is the closest animal to humans?] 】

[A. Parasites on human beings B. Other human beings]

These strange questions caused Li Wenyuan to fall silent for a while.

The characters that encrypt this data will not destroy the data it protects because of his wrong answer, but it will once again become out of order and need to be decrypted again.

The former "Far Travelers" tried to decipher it, but it took them a long time to decipher the characters, but they didn't have the human method of decrypting them, and the result was that they naturally answered incorrectly.

In view of the fact that this thing takes up too much computing power and time to decipher, the former "Far Traveler" has given up on it.

However, for Li Wenyuan, deciphering human encryption programs is only a matter of a moment, and the problems themselves are the key.

He remembered how humans have always behaved, and answered these questions in a "brain teaser" way.

But to his surprise, this time the human race is extraordinarily serious, and the real answer is three Bs.

“…… Unbelievable. "He felt like he might be exposed to something deep.

The decryption is complete, and hidden under the problem is a technology, and it is also the technology that has appeared in his technology tree.

【Curtain Theory】

[Technology Level: 9]

[Introduction: Secrecy has always been an important part of the interstellar, and no one wants to see the situation of "AF lack of fresh water resources" staged again in the interstellar. Our theory has given us a new idea, and maybe we can build a vast "secret project" that would obscure galaxies, river systems, and even the entire universe. In this way, we have the time and opportunity to do our own thing.]
