"How much do you Iscandar know about ascension?" Standing on the top of Diamond Mountain, watching the stars gradually fall into the horizon, Chen Mo finally asked Princess Sasha the question he was most concerned about.
Ascension is a very unfamiliar word to most civilizations.
Because they don't understand the meaning of this word at all, and they also don't understand what it represents.
But for those top-level civilizations that have developed to the extreme, this word means the pursuit of the entire civilization to leap to a higher level.
In short, ascension is a way for a civilization to pursue leaping to a higher dimension or pursue eternity after its technology has reached its peak.
For example, when scientific and technological civilization has reached its peak and has made outstanding achievements in the field of machinery, the idea of the weak flesh and blood has emerged, and the flesh and blood of the entire race has been replaced by metal and machinery, in order to pursue immortal life and existence, and obtain more efficient thinking and thinking. Logical mode, this process is called mechanical ascension.
If the Necrons hadn't lost their souls, in a sense they could be regarded as typical representatives of mechanical ascension.
However, the Necrons, who have lost the soul of their entire race, can now only be regarded as a typical failure case.
Although on the surface it seems that they are indeed a civilization that has successfully achieved mechanical ascension, they still retain the technology and culture of the original civilization, and they still possess unimaginably powerful military power, enough to threaten and destroy any existence in the universe.
But as a civilization, they no longer have any connection with the Necrontyrs. They are just the remaining traces of the Necrontyrs.
Moreover, Necrons who have no soul and only exist by the shadow of their past memories cannot be considered a civilization strictly speaking. They are just remnants of civilization and lack the vitality of a civilization to continue to develop.
Otherwise, after the Battle of Heaven, the Necrons defeated the Old Saints and the Star Gods, and the entire clan would not have chosen the option of sleeping for tens of millions of years.
Of course, when it comes to the choice of ascension method, mechanical ascension is not the only option.
For some races, replacing flesh and blood with cold machinery is not an acceptable method after all, and their more emotional emotions also make them unwilling to become a logical program with only pros and cons.
Therefore, these races chose to strengthen their originally weak flesh and blood bodies.
Gene technology is a technological direction that many civilizations will study after they become stronger.
Analyze genes, understand oneself, and make the individuals of the race more powerful and perfect through the compilation and transformation of genes. This method of ascension is called genetic ascension.
If the Tyranids that invaded the Warhammer world can be regarded as a civilization, to a certain extent, they can be regarded as a very successful case of genetic ascension.
After all, the body is so powerful that it can destroy planets, cross the void of the universe, and can also put pressure and threats on the mechanically ascended space Necromancer. This is indeed a perfect genetic ascension.
Of course, the premise is that the Tyranids can indeed be regarded as a civilization.
In fact, if the Emperor's Space Marines could include women, this could be considered a form of genetic ascension.
After all, Space Marines and Primaris Space Marines are indeed much more powerful and perfect than ordinary humans. Although their extremely powerful bodies are prepared for war, this cannot conceal that Space Marines are already the next stage of human life.
It's just that the emperor obviously didn't consider this at the time. Or maybe he did, but he didn't have time to implement this great plan.
But no matter what, if the transformation technology of the Space Marines can be spread to all mankind, and it can be passed on along with the reproduction of the race, then the humans in the Warhammer world can also be said to have succeeded in genetic ascension.
In the world of Space Battleship Yamato, it seems that starting from the original Aquarius civilization, the path to ascension chosen by all civilizations is not mechanical ascension or genetic ascension.
It is another kind of ascension besides these two paths of ascension, which is to obtain pure spirit by abandoning the tangible body and pursue the ascension of the soul. This kind of ascension is also usually called spiritual ascension.
For example, the Teresat people are the most typical example of psychic ascension. Their technology can extract endless energy from people's souls. This is one of the typical manifestations of psychic ascension.
As for saying that they gave up their bodies and their individual existence, and finally merged into one and became a higher-dimensional individual, this is the existence of a higher stage of spiritual ascension, pursuing to go to a higher dimension and become a higher-dimensional person.
The existence of dimensions.
Among the three ascension routes, not only spiritual ascension can do this, mechanical ascension and genetic ascension can also elevate the entire civilization to a higher dimension.
It's just that compared to spiritual ascension, mechanical and genetic ascension are relatively not so easy to reach higher dimensions.
But the civilizations in this universe all seem to be pursuing spiritual ascension, which makes Chen Mo guess that maybe the original Aquarius civilization chose the route of spiritual ascension, and these subsequent civilizations are following in their footsteps, so they all
I embarked on the path of spiritual ascension.
After discussing the issue of ascension with Princess Sasha, Princess Sasha learned that there were other ascension routes besides the one they chose, and Chen Mo also learned about the current status of the Iskandar civilization's ascension.
The method of ascension they adopted is indeed closely related to their technology.
The Iskandar people have a deep research on memory, which was already reflected when they provided the cosmic reversal device to the earth.
After all, not any civilization or technology can release the memory of the planet from the quantum sea, thereby rewriting the real universe.
After further in-depth research in this field, the Iskanders invented a technology that allows them to seal civilization in the form of memory and become an eternal existence.
But to achieve this, the civilization must be completely destroyed physically first, so that the civilization can be stored in the form of memory.
And this is exactly the truth behind the bloody massacre of the Large Magellanic Cloud by the Iskandars.
However, the Iskanders sealed themselves as memories, allowing the entire race to achieve eternity.
The work they left behind to seal the entire cosmic civilization was handed over to the slave they cultivated, Gamilas, to continue, and all this was handed over to the royal family members who still walked in the outside world as managers to manage.
This is the cruel truth between Iskandar and Gamilas.
However, with the passage of time, the former Iskandar people were addicted to the world created by their best memories and gave up the pursuit of ascension.
