Chapter 259: "Prophecy"
Predictive interface, this is one of the technologies that Li Wenyuan himself has.
It is located at the top of the "Psionic System" technology tree, and can generally be considered to be a crystallized technology that combines the essence of psionic technology.
Its function is similar to that of the "Idealistic Combat Computer" used on warships.
After all, the processing power of living organisms is not comparable to that of machines, and there is no shame in using computers to process so much data in space warfare.
It may sound incredible, but who would have thought that psionics would use such an "artificial intelligence" machine, which is suspected to be their most disgusting.
But in fact, idealistic civilizations are far less familiar with the use of computers than other civilizations, and they still have taboos about "artificial intelligence", and the so-called "computer" is largely a fixed mechanical program composed of a little metal plate and simple wiring.
This has also led to the fact that in the long space war, the idealistic civilization has always suffered more trauma than other civilizations.
In order to solve this problem, the "Prophetic Interface" was developed.
The warships of the Lost Empire of the "Watchmen" used this special equipment, and achieved a huge advantage in the "Battle of Paradise" against the old enemy "Far Wanderer".
It is said to be a combat computer, but the "Prophetic Interface" itself is an auxiliary device for psionics on battleships.
Its function is to enhance the perception of psionics, directly read the "mind fluctuations" of living organisms in a large area, and preempt the opposing crew before they actually take action.
In layman's terms, it is to predict the actions of the other party and prepare in advance, which is also the origin of its name.
Conventional shielding devices are often powerless against this ability to read psychic fluctuations, so the "Prophetic Interface" makes up for the weakness of the Idealistic Civilization in space combat due to the lack of artificial intelligence technology.
Although the "predictive interface" is basically useless in the face of a purely unmanned combat environment or intelligent machine civilization, this situation is only a minority after all, and the idealistic civilization also has special means to deal with "machinery".
All in all, the "prophetic interface" in the galactic sense is just a device, and although it is linked to high-end psionic energy, it is not so mysterious.
However, the "Prophetic Interface" studied by the "Ascension" civilization is different.
Despite its name, this "Prophetic Interface" is a planetary megastructure.
Not only that, but it also integrates psionics, genes, astrophysics and other technologies, and its real role is to "predict the future".
The crystal planet in this galaxy that was mutated from a fleshy planet - or "Prophetic Interface IV" as it should be called now, is one such megastructure.
This is "predicting the future" in the psionic sense, and in recorded data, only those true prophets can briefly foresee the future occurrence.
The mechanism of this prediction of the future is not yet known, but based on the records of the Galactic Civilization and the remaining "Ascendants" here, it seems to be related to the cause of the Shroud.
With the self-destruction of the brain in the vat, the "Ascendant" civilization has also gone to extinction in a real sense.
Although the hibernating "Ascenders" are still alive, all they can form is a world without "Ascenders".
Until the end, Li Wenyuan couldn't learn the name of the brain in the jar, and the long loneliness had made him forget this unimportant thing.
However, its will was enough for Li Wenyuan to create a new sub-file under the file of the "Ascendant" for him, and save this lonely story in the data.
At least someone will remember it so that it doesn't just disappear silently.
After sealing the lonely straggler in the world it was holding, Li Wenyuan brought the scientific research ship back to the vicinity of the "prophetic interface" that had been turned into a glowing glass ball.
Gray Wind was also here, and instead of following Li Wenyuan to the "Aether Engine" frame that was suspected to be the wreckage of the Dyson Sphere, she stayed near the planet "Prophetic Interface".
She was startled by the planet's sudden transformation from fleshy to glass crystals, but she also realized that it must have been something that Li Wenyuan had discovered and touched.
So she asked curiously, "Do you really have a new discovery, is this a human relic here?" ”
She also took it for granted that all the anomalies were attributed to humans, and she could see how much influence humans had left on her.
But this time it's really not, it's a relic left by the remnants of civilization in this galaxy.
Li Wenyuan briefly retold the story of the brain in the jar and the "Ascendant" civilization to Gray Wind, which also made her a little amazed:
“…… He lived on a single brain for nearly nine million years...... If it were me, I might not have been able to survive that time and my mind would have collapsed. ”
Hearing her words, Li Wenyuan glanced at Gray Feng and didn't say anything.
Compared to the brain in the vat, Gray Wind is actually not far behind, she will not be locked up in the "distant star cluster" for less time than the brain in the vat, the only thing that is better than the brain in the tank is that she can entertain herself.
But even so...... The self-entertainment that started in millions of years is not something that ordinary people can stick to.
"No wonder when we first met, her brain circuits jumped so out...... In the future, I can let her see more of this universe......"
Li Wenyuan thought so, and began to use this "Prophetic Interface" giant structure based on the newly obtained "Ascendant" technology.
The traces of the "gods" have not yet been obtained from this journey, but if it is a "prophetic interface", it should help him find the "ascendants" who have awakened from hibernation.
This is the fourth "Prophetic Interface" built by the Ascension, and the only one they have actually put into use, the first four of which are experimental megastructures.
It takes a huge amount of psionic energy to activate the "Prophetic Interface", but the brain in the vat has already filled this part of his energy for him.
The light rays that vaguely maintain regular refraction in the crystal are the "record data" of the "prediction interface", so that Li Wenyuan can know the use records of this giant structure.
The most recent time, when he first came to this galaxy, also made him realize how he was accurately discovered by the "degenerates", and it is clear that the so-called "gods" used this "prophetic interface".
“…… I understood the result, but what was the reason for that 'God' to foresee my coming? Or is it just a broad prediction of the arrival of the 'outsider'? But even so, there has to be a reason......"
This became Li Wenyuan's new doubt, he didn't waste a single trace of his spiritual energy, and began to use this functional giant structure.
The goal is also clear: to know where the last "ascender" will go.
