The last human in the universe

Chapter 57
Deep Space Star, the "Tianjin" space base, claims to be the closest place to God. The spacious room is filled with 39% oxygen, 21% carbon dioxide, 30% nitrogen, 2% sulfur dioxide and other trace amounts. In the clean air office made of mixed gases, Nuoli Ruoxi, the president of the deep space civilization, who is about 3.4 meters tall and weighs as much as 213KG, is full of disappointment on his bronzed face.

Presented in front of him at this moment is a report submitted by the chief scientific officer.It is clearly stated in the report that the deciphering work of the previous generation of characters has still not progressed during this period of time.

"If there is no further progress, our civilization will be wiped out by those guys who call themselves humans!"

Gritting her teeth for a moment, Nuoli Ruoxi finally sighed.

There is no way, the inheritance of civilization is too serious.In the process of crossing the long journey between the stars, the living environment of the people of the deep space civilization is getting worse and worse, and the supplies are getting more and more scarce. It has been nearly ten thousand years, and all the descendants have failed to be like their ancestors. They have undergone a comprehensive genetic optimization transformation like that.

At this moment, in the entire civilization, there is only one genetic modification device that can barely function.Just this one, hundreds of years ago, when it first came to this remote galaxy where the main star was being swallowed by a black hole, a key component was blown up due to an accidental explosion, and it didn’t know where it flew.

That is nearly [-] tons of precious plutonium elements!That's it.

Originally, this genetic modification instrument could still operate at about [-]% of its performance when it was in good condition, which considerably improved people's intelligence, physical fitness and other related indicators.Now, without that key component, the performance has dropped to a maximum of [-]/[-]th of what it was when it was intact.

Not only does the improvement effect plummet, but there is no big enough difference between the "human" and the "sub-human" at this stage-this is undoubtedly a shame for the noble "human", and even the efficiency is low. Great drop.

In the past, people were always open to genetic modification, no matter how many offspring they had.Now, only some lucky descendants can accept the transformation.The descendants of those "people" who cannot accept transformation, after several generations, can only be with the stupid and lowly "subhumans".

All of this is due to the unfavorable progress in the deciphering work of the previous generation of civilization!

Recalling what is recorded in the history books, when civilization was at its peak, everyone could receive a full set of genetic modification with genetic modification equipment before birth. Far more than those ordinary "sub-humans" who failed to undergo genetic modification.

In fact, apart from the lack of reproductive isolation, humans and subhumans are almost fundamentally two completely different species.

The two have different cultures, different etiquette, different living habits, and different jobs.But all these differences are based on one biggest difference: the difference in text.

The characters used by the people who have undergone genetic modification are extremely complicated.According to historical records, this set of characters contains a total of nearly 13 words and more than 80 specific vocabulary phrases, and the sentences have 38 different tenses and moods.

There are more than 200 words for the description of the main star of the galaxy at that time.Among these words, some words specifically refer to the state when the stellar flare erupts to X-level, some refer only to the state when the star is at its most peaceful, some refer only to the setting sun, and some refer only to the state of the setting sun when the flare erupts extremely. status, blah blah blah.

The entire sentence "I'm hungry and want to eat food A" can be expressed by a unique word; "I'm hungry and want to eat food B" can be expressed by another unique word; "I'm hungry Hungry, want to eat food C while the wind is blowing in the wild" also has a unique word.

This writing system is undoubtedly extremely complex and precise.But it's also extremely efficient.Often extremely complex meanings can be perfectly expressed with only a few, or even a single word.Sometimes, one word can express all the information of a painting.

What supports people's use of this set of extremely complex and sophisticated writing and language systems is the highly developed and highly intelligent brain after undergoing genetic modification.

Everyone can easily master up to 13 words and more than 80 specific vocabulary phrases, master various tenses and moods, and communicate with others easily and efficiently.

The subhumans who have not received genetic modification are completely different.They use a completely different language system.In that language system, the number of words is only about 1200, and the number of specific vocabulary phrases is only more than 2000.The lack of language and characters allows them to only vaguely express objects and events, and the efficiency of information transmission is extremely low.

It's not that people don't want to master more words and vocabulary, but that their brain capacity is too low and their brain operation efficiency is too low to remember and master too many words and vocabulary proficiently.As a result, people can't understand people's language at all, can't understand people's logic, and don't even know what people are doing.On the contrary, people can easily understand everything about them.

But now, the noble deep space stars have fallen to the point where they are almost the same as the subhumans.The amount of words mastered by people is still about 1200, and the vocabulary mastered by noble people is less than 5000, and the semantics are greatly simplified. The information content of a single word is not the same as that of ancient texts. And language.

The most terrible thing is that all the materials recorded in the database in the heyday of civilization are all recorded by the words at that time!
A complete operating model of an efficient and controllable nuclear fusion reactor was completely recorded in only 37 characters!A practical ion propulsion engine uses 225 characters, and the design and manufacturing drawings of the most important genetic modification equipment are all recorded in just over 13000 characters!

Among these words, each word has the amount of information that can be expanded to write an entire paper.Now, the meaning of almost most of the words has been lost.The deep space stars at this stage can't understand it at all.The chief scientific officer has led a group of the most intelligent people in the civilization to study for such a long time, but they have only mastered the meaning and usage of less than 1000 ancient characters.

If the meaning of those words can be deciphered, not to mention the small human civilization, even if it is ten times stronger, it will be wiped out at once. How can it be forced to give up even the surface of the planet, and can only hide To linger in space, relying on the consumption of a large number of sub-human lives, to obtain barely enough supplies from the planet.

Fortunately, fortunately, the sub-human production system has always been relatively sound. On average, hundreds of new sub-humans are born every day, and hundreds of new sub-humans are able to work as adults. Civilization has finally been maintained and has not collapsed.

But it won't work like this...

The hostile civilization has been developing at full speed, but the own civilization is developing slowly due to the lack of supplies. If this continues, when the enemy civilization is strong enough to send a fleet over, the own side will have no chance.

"The deciphering of the ancient characters must be accelerated. Leaving aside the rest, the deciphering of the characters '￥%#￥@#%#￥%' must produce results within three years."

The chief scientific officer has determined that what these words describe is all the detailed information of a strategic-level weapon that can be manufactured with the current stage of technology.

Of course, the so-called strategic level is relative to the current level of technology.In ancient times, such weapons were little more than children's toys.

As long as this kind of weapon can be manufactured, destroying that hostile civilization will not be a problem at all!

After silently thinking in his mind for a long time, Nuoli Ruoxi grabbed the communicator and conveyed this instruction to the chief scientific officer.

"Abandon all other deciphering attempts, and concentrate all efforts to solve the problem of the principle and manufacturing method of this weapon! I want to see the finished product within three years!"

……

Gudazar is a "subhuman".It was "manufactured" 22 years ago, and has been responsible for resource collection since it came of age eight years ago.

All subhumans do not have the right to reproduce naturally.All subhumans are "manufactured".Noble people will regularly collect the "essence of life" of secondary people, and then put them into various equipment, and breed new secondary humans through machines.According to people, this method is the most efficient. It can continuously and stably produce new subhumans without affecting the production efficiency of the parent and mother subhumans.

Ever since he first gained self-awareness, Gudazar has longed for more knowledge.The stage when he was still underage and still learning and mastering knowledge in school was the happiest period of his life.

It's a pity that because of insufficient brain optimization and transformation, just learning and mastering more than 1200 vocabulary and some necessary survival knowledge has already made him feel the limit. If he wants to learn new things, it's not that he can't remember. It's just memorizing it, and I can't learn it anyway.

There is no way, it can only be like its companions, friends, and fathers and mothers who don’t know if they are still alive, or sons and daughters who don’t know if they are born, accept the fate passed down from generation to generation, and become a Worker.

Today is the turn of Gudazar to set off on the surface of the planet to collect mineral resources.Manipulating the simple spaceship specially made for the subhumans, Gudazar left the space base.

"I hope today is not the day when the enemy is bombed with nuclear bombs..."
