Chapter 88 Synthetic Evolution
The name of this ring world was recorded in the damaged archives. It sounded very special and was called the "Immortal Lighthouse".
But now seeing this ring world that had been completely blown up, Li Wenyuan only felt that this "immortality" was quite ironic.
"...Is this the history of the Far Travelers in the past?"
This kind of record without previous information was the most troublesome. He could only continue to look down and then infer the relationship with the "Far Traveler".
[{Data Corruption}Periodic Record:]
[——Betrayal, I never thought such a thing would happen to us]
[When those stupid psychic users were scolding us for our collective suicidal behavior, we were ready. We will use this immortal function to follow the footsteps of the "Apocalypse". Their great cause will be
It will be continued by us]
[But some people did not choose our path, or when we found out, we realized that the "majority" we thought was actually only a small minority]
[Our former "compatriots" forced us here and then wanted to destroy us]
[——Isn’t this ironic? Two guys who are incompatible with each other unexpectedly have a tacit understanding on this matter]
[What a bunch of guys who have lost their souls in the fallen life! Don’t you think about who gave us the life we have now? 】
The record ends here. No useful information can be extracted from this damaged building. The core of the entire database has been completely destroyed.
But when he saw a certain keyword, Li Wenyuan had an idea.
"Mass suicide?" He opened his database and found a technology belonging to the "Ascension Technology" line on the technology tree.
【Synthetic Evolution】
[Technology level: 6]
[Introduction: It’s time to abandon this body of flesh and blood that has been imprisoning our thoughts and souls. By transferring our consciousness data to synthetic human torsos, we can “evolve” to a whole new stage. Even if some people think this is a kind of collective suicide
behavior, but our souls will be dominated by ourselves]
[Possible technology: none]
As an "ascending technology", the changes it brings are extremely impactful.
It is impossible for ordinary civilization to accept this behavior of "transferring consciousness into machinery" without spending countless hours.
Even if you can fabricate ethics and morals at will like clay, you cannot deal with this kind of thing overnight.
When Li Wenyuan saw the "mass suicide" in the record, he immediately thought of "synthetic evolution". Although he cannot use it now, other civilizations may have achieved the same behavior a long time ago.
He does not comment on the ethical impact of "synthetic evolution", but that does not prevent him from thinking that it is a "feat."
Without considering philosophical issues, this is indeed an "evolution" that can bring the entire civilization level to a new level.
If we speculate based on this situation, it is obvious that the former owner of this ring world did not reach the level of "playing with ethics and morals at will".
In other words, they think they have achieved it, but the actual situation is that these individuals who have completed "synthetic evolution" are rejected and even destroyed by other individuals who have not carried out "synthetic evolution".
"...Is this the disadvantage of trying to encourage growth?" Li Wenyuan thought back to the information he learned from the ruins on the earth before the chaos in the galaxy, which may be related to the lost empire.
It is very likely that the Lost Empire was created by humans through cramming education in order to test "the crisis tolerance of galactic civilization."
"If this is indeed the site of the Far Traveler before, then it can be said that the current Far Traveler... is not exactly the Far Traveler of the past?"
With doubts, he continued to scan around the fragments of the ring world.
And the ordinary civilization in the galaxy is about to usher in a very impactful event because of a certain former genius.

"...the consciousness data is simulated correctly."
"Consciousness transfer equipment, debugging completed."
"The mechanical body is functioning normally. It took me a lot of effort to get this small reactor that can be carried around. I never imagined that a genius like me would have to worry about such a thing one day..."
"Then, the reporter is also on the way, so he should be here in time. 'News about a star's cheating?' is such a good excuse. It's not in vain that I personally faked the pictures..."
In the technological dictatorship of Ming Bo, this old scholar who had been expelled from society kept checking the instruments in his studio while calculating the time for the arrival of reporters.
This is a messy abandoned factory. At the moment when reporters rush in, he will complete his feat of digitizing his consciousness and transferring it to a mechanical body.
He will prove himself and take back everything he once had.
So after sitting on a chair full of instruments, he put on a helmet connected to a large number of lines, and took one last look at the mechanical body next to him.
He has no money to buy bionic skin, so he can only welcome his new life with this simple gesture.
But he never doubted that he was right. As a researcher and practitioner of this theory, he always believed that he would create great achievements.
Looking at the loose skin and aging body on his hands, he finally closed his eyes and started the instrument.
The "buzzing" sound of the power connection echoed in this dark factory, and the various indicator lights that kept lighting up were the rare light here.
The graph representing his life functions began to fluctuate violently, with both the highest and lowest points far exceeding those of normal people.
His body was also spasming unnaturally, and body fluids were flowing around uncontrollably due to the burden of his body.
This scene is very ugly, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of behavior this old scholar is using to accomplish his feat.
However, the abnormal movements of the body soon began to stop, and it seemed that it had completely lost its vitality.
The door of the dark factory was also kicked open at this time:
"Hurry up! Where's the floating panoramic camera? Don't miss this - wait, why is there a strange smell? What is that?"
A group of reporters broke into the door, only to see a dark scene. The light of the camera instantly illuminated the place, allowing them to discover the body of the old scholar and the motionless mechanical body beside him.
"...Isn't this Synstic? The 'genius scientist' who was sent back by the Far Traveler and then removed from the committee? It's really interesting..."
"...So this guy tricked us here? I knew those pictures were fake! It was a waste of time..."
A reporter cursed and walked up to the old scholar's body and seemed to want to kick him off the chair. His recent work situation was not good, and it was the moment he needed to vent.
However, his foot was caught by the mechanical body on the side when he was halfway through the kick.
However, I saw that the originally motionless mechanical body had turned on at some point, and its blue-light eyes actually gave people a sense of wisdom:
"...don't touch my old body."
