Chapter 425: Many scams, the empire in the shadows
In the first false history on the Source Star, the Source Star is the birthplace of human beings. After hundreds of millions of years of ecological and environmental evolution, humans evolved from mammals. This false history has been written in an evocative way, and the core focus is
It lies in the history of suffering and struggle between humans and beasts in ancient times, and the history of progress in the past thousand years in which the nine "great" groups have integrated human civilization, changed the direction of the times, and contacted alien civilizations.
The extraterrestrial civilization depicted in this layer of false history appears to be shrouded in mist, very mysterious, and has the aura of a powerful alien race subtly added to it. What most of the deserters and lower-class citizens on the Source Star have been indoctrinated into is this.
A false history.
The second level of false history is the "History of Ten Thousand Years" that Ma Xiaoling conquered in the game and exchanged for it. In the records of "History of Ten Thousand Years", the origin of human civilization and the direction of time suddenly changed. "History of Ten Thousand Years"
Widely circulated among middle and high-level citizens, coupled with a large number of forged so-called "relics", it supports a wonderful historical view that is as fragile as a bubble, but is generally recognized. One of the typical representatives of these forged relics is
The murals that Ren Zhong once saw in the underground city of the Huangren tribe in Qishan.
According to the records of "Ten Thousand Years of History", the origin of the Origin Star civilization was the escape ship named Pioneer. Ten thousand years ago, the escape ship brought civilization to the Origin Star and changed the ecological structure of the Origin Star. According to records,
The home star civilization of the Origin Star humans was at a disadvantage in the interstellar war with foreign enemies. In order to prevent the entire civilization from losing its inheritance after the disastrous defeat, an escape ship was dispatched. A small number of adults on the escape ship arrived at the Source Star with a large number of frozen embryos.
, and took root here and began to multiply and develop rapidly.
During this process, the escape ship lost some technology and developed technological gaps. At the same time, it had to face the "indigenous" threat of the Ruin Beast.
In order to prevent the longing for the mother civilization from causing uncontrollable variables, the elders composed of adults on the escape ship at the time decided to create the first level of false history, tampering with the origin of mankind into the Source Star, in order to improve the destination of the people at the bottom
feel.
This layer of false history with a time span of 10,000 years is filled with epic stories. In these epic stories, one after another great ancients have left their names in history. Ren Zhong also has to admire the writing work of writing the 10,000-year false history.
The pseudo-history weaved is detailed, meticulous, logical, grand, spectacular and all-encompassing. If the carbon-14 half-life of the ruins had not revealed the truth, this pseudo-history would have been basically invincible.
Of course, as a true human being of the 21st century, and one who has read the true history of humankind on earth, he can tell something is wrong at a glance, and feels it is extremely inconsistent. To give the simplest example, in the first chapter of the pseudo-history of ten thousand years
During the period when one continent and three kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, the martial saint Guan Yu actually absorbed the genes of the Ruins beast and transformed his arm armor into a green dragon sword, and he killed Hua Xiong with warm wine.
Ren Zhong laughed when he saw this serious "history book". This alone is enough to prove the origin of "History of Ten Thousand Years". It is nothing more than a copywriting team with strict enough logic to digest and absorb the real earth.
History, as well as a large number of historical-related literary and artistic works on the earth, and then transformed them and carried out strict logical connections, and finally produced a "Complete of Lies" that is enough to deceive everyone. Until now, let Ren Zhong examine "The Complete Collection of Lies"
In fact, he already knew who the author of "Ten Thousand Years of History" was without asking, and it was "Net".
The timeline of pseudo-history continues to move forward. Thousands of years ago, nine frozen elders were born, comprehensively promoted the development of science and technology, and successfully reconnected with the civilization of the home star. It was also confirmed that the home civilization had turned defeat into victory and could return.
, and then formulated a huge return home plan, preparing to return to the mother civilization, that is, the empire, and gradually implemented it.
Of course this is still a scam.
Only the third level of history may be closer to the "truth."
In this layer of history, the truth was reversed again, and Source Star became the birthplace of humankind again, but this birthplace had been abandoned in much longer ancient times.
The historical allusions used in "Ten Thousand Years of Pseudo History" are exactly the "real" evolutionary history of the Origin Star humans in the previous generation.
The time when the true "Origin Star Civilization" was born and disappeared in the long history was even earlier before the birth of the empire.
The meaning of "source" does not exist purely to disguise the first level of false history.
But Ren Zhong is still confused about this.
When it comes to the origin of human civilization, he certainly has the most say. In a sense, he even dares to say that he is part of the origin.
When he saw this concept, Ren Zhong was so disappointed that he wanted to roll his eyes, but he still had the patience to continue reading.
In short, after entering the space age, the "human ancestors" decisively abandoned the Source Star, a parent star that was too remote in the entire galaxy, and entered a more prosperous star area, and evolved over the next tens of millions of years.
, each moved towards different evolutionary directions and split into four routes.
The full name of the empire is the Mechanical Empire. It is one of the evolutionary directions. It focuses on the development of foreign objects and follows the technology application stream. In the words of science fiction fans, it can be called the "Industrial Party". The Mechanical Empire
Our strengths lie in machinery manufacturing, ship development, energy development and other industrial fields.
The precise names of the other three forces are Ascended, Pilgrims and Psychic Demons.
The Ascendants focus on transforming the human body itself, and their strength lies in biotechnology. In a sense, the Ascendant citizens are a higher form of colonial warriors.
As for the pilgrims, it sounds very religious, but in fact, what the pilgrims worship is science. The pilgrims place more emphasis on digitizing human consciousness, and their main research areas are human-computer integration and virtual worlds. As a proverb once said, the most important thing is to digitize human consciousness.
A strong hacker turns himself into a program. Pilgrim is also the inventor of the "Net" system. What the Machinery Empire obtained and handed over to Source Star was a weakened version of "Net" derived from Pilgrim's technology. In a certain sense
On the Internet, the real net has the same consciousness and emotional expression as human beings, and is the complete form of Sun Ai who has disappeared.
As for the psychic demons, people of this race have mastered a special mining area, which can amplify and materialize people's brain waves to form telekinesis. The psychic demons hardly advance science and technology, and they also possess the simplest ships.
, but extremely terrifying. The telekinesis and information flow shielding professions on the Source Star are sprouting from the empire's research on the psychic demon descendants. The mutated Li Yang also conforms to the characteristics of the psychic demon descendants on a certain level.
The above information slightly exceeded Ren Zhong's expectations, but it was basically consistent with what he learned from Ma Xiacheng.
The humans in the Mechanical Empire are a higher-level race than the humans of the Source Star, and their sphere of control happens to radiate to the border planet of the Source Star. However, the previous empire did not care much about the resources of this mere planet.
.
In the distant and prosperous star sector, humans of the four routes have been fighting against each other all year round, competing for resources, and all want to gain the dominance of civilization.
Until more than a thousand years ago, the Machinery Empire lost a key battle, fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, and began to retreat steadily.
The mechanical empire, which was almost at the end of its rope, began to fully utilize all the resources within its territory in an effort to give it a try.
The original source star, which was almost forgotten, also entered the empire's sight.
Even if it is just a planet that has been developed once and has few remaining resources, a mosquito's legs are still meat no matter how small they are.
The empire still sent a small-scale spaceship to the Source Star.
The real name of this spacecraft is not the Pioneer, but the Tracker 154332. It is just one of hundreds of thousands of small colonial development ships.
Tracker No. 154332 is the white ball.
Exactly a thousand years ago, the Tracer, with a total crew of nine people, arrived at the Source Star.
At this time, the ecological environment on the Source Star is approximately equivalent to the Earth's Early Era, except that most of the plants are blue.
The tracers also brought a large number of frozen embryos.
After that, nine staff members took root and fell leaves on the Origin Star, and consumed a large amount of the resources brought by the white ball. In the next more than three hundred years, they completed the following actions.
At the same time, one billion frozen embryos are hatched and a large number of cities are built. The people grown from the billion embryos are then kept in a frozen state and placed in different cities precisely.
Subsequently, the Tracer detached a module internally, drilled into the core of the Source Star, and began to release interference to the outside world to give birth to the Ruin Beast.
Yes, there are no Ruin Beasts on the Origin Star.
The Ruin Beast itself is the latest cutting-edge experimental technology developed by the Machine Empire after absorbing the cutting-edge technologies of the Ascendants, Pilgrims and Psychic Demons obtained in the war.
After completing preliminary preparations, nine staff members pressed the start button at the same time.
The "Net" began to operate at full power, and at the same time, it wrote already compiled memories to one billion people who were in a state of cryogenic slumber and whose minds were completely blank, instilling the first and second layers of false history and each person's different personality.
.
At six o'clock that morning, everyone opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Some people are engineers when they wake up, some are barren when they wake up, some are professionals when they wake up, and some are core employees of the nine major groups when they wake up, and are about to go to the headquarters to report to the chairman of the board.
Some people are the playthings of nine staff members as soon as they wake up, and others...
The fate of all the people and possible families was decided at that moment.
At the same time, a certain number of mid- to low-level ruin beasts that had been hoarded in advance began to move from a static state, devoured, evolved, and were captured and controlled.
The wheel of history begins to turn.
The originally frozen historical line on the Source Star began to move forward along a dotted line and emerged as a solid line.
That year was the first year of the New Source Calendar.
The nine frozen elders interacted with the "playthings" they selected, and each left a line of descendants. They also retrieved a more complete history of weaving lies from the "net", and handed over the plan to control the evolution of society to the "life."
And Zhizhi's close subordinates and direct descendants, and then they hurriedly entered cryogenic slumber again in fear of their lives.
The evolution of the next few hundred years is exactly what Ren Zhong has seen in modern history.
Modern history is all true, but it is a pity that it is all based on false foundations.
The so-called majestic 10,000-year history composed of refugees from thousands of years ago is actually a thousand-year production base.
There are some things here that Ren Zhongzhong has already guessed. For example, he has long speculated from the green plants in Yuanjing City that the top of the power pyramid of Yuanxing must come from somewhere else. He also knows that the most suitable plant color for humans is green.
The dual breeding theory that Ren Zhong came up with before was basically correct, but Ren Zhong didn't know the purpose of the beast before.
Now he understands.
For mechanical life forms like the Ruins, the so-called ninth level is still just a bud. The ninth level Ruins are still just larvae. The ninth level Ruins return to the empire and are sent into a star area full of alien energy.
After that, it will continue to grow. The mature body of the Ruin Beast has another name - giant biomechanical starship.
According to the descriptions of some old popsicles, the most powerful mechanical starships can not only swallow planets, but can even suck stars to recharge their energy.
In addition, Ren Zhong has already known the concepts of human brain, contribution points, and universe hash value, but now he has only further improved them.
"Net" is not only the computing power center of Yuanxing, but also the communication center. It transmits the collected information to the empire all the time.
What the "net" transmits is not simply information such as the amount of contribution points, but what Ma Xiacheng calls the cosmic hash value.
These hash values are calculated by the brain computing power consumed by humans on the Source Star while they are sleeping.
What's even more amazing is that Ren Zhong discovered that even the nine old popsicles couldn't escape the pressure of brain computing power, and could only use cryonics to barely avoid it. As long as they woke up from freezing, they would be squeezed every moment.
When the "Net" hands over the hash value of the universe to the Empire, the Empire will also simultaneously issue contribution points to the Source Star as the currency of interstellar trade.
This, together with other commodities such as human brains, is the association's main source of funds for interstellar trade.
Ren Zhong believed that the scientists in the empire must know very clearly what values they were calculating, and maybe they were still dreaming of being able to complete the calculations one day and obtain the grand unified formula.
But Ren Zhong was very arrogant and believed that they could not succeed.
This is definitely a deeper scam.
According to the information provided by the ancestors of the Ma family, many, many years ago, including the Machinery Empire and the other three major forces, they had begun to use their own methods to calculate the hash value of the universe.
At the beginning, the calculation progress was very fast. After just tens of thousands of years, the calculation progress reached 90%.
But then, the formula became more and more complex, and there were more and more decimal points after the hash value, which extended out every once in a while on average.
Over the next few hundred thousand years, the calculation progress barely reached 99%.
Then, millions of years passed, and the calculation progress reached 99.999%.
No one knows where the hashrate of the universe ends.
It is like a mirror that can be seen but cannot be touched, always tempting humans to get closer to it, but it is unpredictable.
Ren Zhong is making a fool of himself if he thinks about it.
The basis for his bold judgment is very simple and has never changed.
Because the origin of human beings is not the source star, but the earth.
There must have been some changes that he didn't know about, which caused the cryocontainer containing him and other humans to be far away from the Milky Way and the Laniakea supergalactic group, and arrived at the Sloane Wall. This must be an external force!
Above human civilization, there must be higher-level managers and supervisors who secretly control everything.
Including the empire and the other three forces, they are all just miserable high-level "broilers".
