Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1800 Fossil Project

The three continued to read the subsequent contents of the relevant document, and this document also revealed a heroic history that was buried in the long river of time.

According to the records in the documents, the scientists at that time and the people of the starry sky calculated the soul strength of the eldest son, and finally concluded that even if they exhausted all means of soul defense, the possibility of them surviving was very slim, but this desperate reality did not make them give up.

  Scientists thought of the ancient species that they had resurrected through fossils. Over the course of a long time, they were able to restore the ancient species through the organic matter remaining in the fossils. So if they were to become completely extinct in the future, could they leave a backup plan to allow later generations to resurrect them from their remains and allow the human species to be born again on this planet?

The Fossil Project came into being. Humans collected a large number of sperm and egg cells and stored them at low temperatures. According to the description of the People of the Starry Sky, the soul is roughly formed within 1 to 3 months after the embryo is formed. Before that, the fertilized eggs and embryos are just ordinary organic matter and cannot be called life.

To be on the safe side, local residents chose to directly use uncombined sperm and egg cells to preserve human genetic material, which are ordinary organic matter without a soul. Since there is no soul, there is no need to worry about death caused by the destruction of the soul.

Their plan is to create a large number of artificial intelligence and automatic mechanical equipment to ensure that even after the mass extinction, artificial intelligence and automatic mechanical equipment can complete the artificial insemination and in vitro cultivation of these cells.

The life cultivated in vitro in this way will not be much different from humans born naturally. As long as the plan is successful, the human species can continue.

But they are not satisfied with this, or the continuation of the human species does not mean much to them. For them, the most important thing is not the survival of the species, but the survival of civilization. These are two completely different concepts.

If humans survived, but the cultural history and even everything accumulated in the civilization was completely cut off, it would still be equivalent to extinction for this civilization.

Therefore, together with the Fossil Project, there is another supporting project called the Guardian Project.

Before the mass extinction, everyone backed up their own thoughts and created unique artificial intelligence to serve as the guardians of the new humans to be born in the future. Perhaps out of consideration for purifying the dark side of civilization itself, in the process of creating these artificial intelligences, the relatively dark side of these people's hearts is rarely recorded in the artificial intelligence. Each artificial intelligence created is relatively kinder than its corresponding individual, and is the ideal personality they think they should have.

In addition, they also made robots that look almost identical to themselves. With their technology, such bionic people are almost indistinguishable from real people without dissection. After being equipped with artificial intelligence, they are almost indistinguishable from real humans. At least for a group of ignorant newborns, such parents are enough to serve as their guardians.

And these artificial intelligences, to which they have poured all their efforts, will serve as the guardians of these newborns, build a society that looks exactly the same as the original one, teach these children, let them grow up little by little from ignorance, and eventually take over the baton of history, completing the transformation and rebirth after the extinction of civilization. Perhaps this generation is indeed extinct, but the civilization they inherit can be passed on in the process, inheriting their history and culture, inheriting all the good virtues of their civilization, and living on in place of the dead.

After seeing this, almost all the mysteries in the shelter were solved. Why were the locals so friendly? That's because the recorded artificial intelligence is everyone's ideal self, so they are friendly and tolerant.

This time we have an explanation for why most families have no children. It is naturally because their original responsibility is to be guardians. They should have adopted children, but the stored sperm and egg cells were all destroyed due to accidents, causing them all to become empty-nest old robots. Only a few people whose personalities are those of children themselves take on the role of children in society.

Originally, these robots should all be in a dormant state, and would not start operating until human embryos were cultivated. Now they are operating to build a harmonious society. It is very likely that the Nangong couple traveled through time and triggered some special conditions, causing the artificial intelligence to judge that these natural lives can serve as carriers of civilization, so they woke up collectively.

Although they could not understand many of the scientific terms in the document, the Nangong couple finally understood roughly what had happened in ancient times. Even though they were not native to this planet, they still could not help but sigh in admiration at this epic history.

“For the survival of civilization, these people really…” Nangong Wudi sighed helplessly, “It’s a pity that they failed in the end. Alas! Now that they have been awakened by us, we can’t be their children. What we see now may be the last afterglow of these respectable people!”

The lifespan of a robot is limited. The machinery will wear out, and the surface skin will gradually be damaged over time. Once started, the process is irreversible. This special society built entirely of robots and artificial intelligence is probably the last afterglow of that once glorious and respectable civilization. After a short hundred years, it will eventually return to dust.

As a mermaid, Elsa is even more emotional. At this moment, her tears are already bursting out like a fire hydrant. If the equipment here were not well waterproofed, this girl made of water would have been short-circuited.

Although Lan Nuo has witnessed many civilizations and personally led many civilizations to struggle in desperate situations, she still feels shocked by the determination of those who would rather die than let their own civilization continue.

Even though he had crossed tens of thousands of years of time and space, countless artificial intelligences seemed to be talking to him from a distance, leaving an imprint of human civilization that had disappeared in the long river of history and presenting it before him.

Just as he was sighing, the host in front of him suddenly started to work automatically. On the screen, a male voice in a black uniform appeared. The man on the screen was standing in a pure white space with no background, looking at the three people.

"I'm sorry to involve you in the Fossil Project. The burden of inheriting an entire civilization may be too heavy for the three of you. But my program requires me to do this. I am the personality backup of the former Supreme Archon of this planet. Here, on behalf of all my compatriots who have died in the mass extinction, I ask you to remember our culture and history as much as possible. If you have the opportunity in the future, tell this history to everyone you can.

Next, I hope that the three of you can continue to live on this planet for a while. We will gather the power of the entire planet to build a spaceship for you. I hope that you can carry the last remains of our civilization, leave this planet, and spread it to a planet that can support the development of life. "

Obviously, with so many powerful AIs, the behavior of the three people could not escape the monitoring of AI. Lan Nuo nodded and said, "We have received so much care from you. We have no choice but to inherit your civilization. But before that, can you tell us what kind of accident happened that led to the failure of the plan?"

Compared to the frightened Nangong couple, Lan Nuo seemed to have anticipated that an artificial intelligence would appear in front of him and talk to him.

"Unfortunately, we underestimated the strength of the eldest son's soul and overestimated our protection system. His soul is already strong enough to directly interfere with the material world, and his hatred for us is beyond our imagination. Even though we have stored soulless sperm and egg cells and stored them inside protective buildings equipped with heavy soul armor, the eldest son's soul still tore through the protection and used all of his soul power to distort the atomic arrangement of the material world and destroyed the genetic material in these cells. Even though we tried hard to restore and revive the human species, we still failed.

The models in those cultivation tanks are the result of failed experiments. "There was not much emotion in the tone of the artificial intelligence. Even though it had recorded most of the original owner's personality, it was still artificial intelligence after all, and it was only the shadow of that person.

Nangong Wudi sighed with pity and said, "Although we are eager to return to our hometown, I think you don't know where our home is, so we can stay here for a while longer. Demon Hunters and Sirens are long-lived species, so a few thousand years should be enough. Although my memory is not very good, I can also work hard to learn your language, writing, history and culture during this time. The only problem is that this little brother is an ordinary human, and his life span may not be able to wait that long."

Lan Nuo shook his head before the AI ​​could speak and said, "Lifespan is actually a very easy problem to solve. With the biotechnology in this world, it is not that difficult to achieve immortality for ordinary humans. All we need to do is reverse transcribe omnipotent stem cells, then cultivate human organs on a specific protein skeleton, and regularly replace and transplant organs. Immortality may be a little difficult, but living for thousands of years should not be a problem.

The point I want to make is not this, but that you don't have to give up. When you choose to implement the Fossil Project and the Guardian Project, you must have made a trade-off, right? The survival of civilization is more important than the survival of species.

If that is the case, then why should the carrier of your civilization be your descendants? As long as they are human beings, or even other intelligent creatures with similar physiological structures, why can't they be the carrier of your civilization? "

Lanno's words caused the AI ​​to temporarily shut down. The fact that it could still formulate a fossil plan under the premise of total extinction meant that the planner had already recognized that the survival of civilization was more important than the survival of individuals or even species. If the person who formulated the plan was here, he would definitely not hesitate at all, but it was just an AI.

After a moment of downtime and calculation, he finally got back up and running and started replying.

"You mean, you are willing to provide your own body cells and even sperm cells to help us recreate the human species? But we only have male samples. Even if we clone them, it will be difficult for the entire civilization to continue naturally if there are only men. But even so, if our civilization can continue in this way, we will still be grateful."

Lan Nuo scratched his head and imagined a world full of clones of himself, all of them men. He felt a little scalp tingling. Although they were used to living in groups, it was still a bit too exaggerated to think that the whole world was full of clones of themselves.

"I think the problems with women and genetic diversity can be solved at the technical level. I just visited your laboratory and the equipment is quite complete. Your previous technology is not far from artificial editing of life. If you had developed to the stage where you could artificially edit the genes of species, even if the eldest son destroyed all the sperm and egg cells stored in your gene bank, there would be no way to stop you from recreating the human species.

Now, I am quite confident that with your help and the equipment here, I can push the relevant biotechnology forward half a step.

Using my own genes as a blueprint and the gene fragments in damaged biological cells as a reference, I have partially restored the original bisexual embryonic cells of your planet."

Lan Nuo also realized that there was still a certain difference between artificial intelligence and humans. After all humans were extinct, artificial intelligence could only maintain the operation of industrial equipment, but it would be difficult to continue to promote the development and progress of science and technology. Otherwise, with the remaining industrial foundation of this civilization, if the original team was still alive, they would definitely be able to restore the damaged gene pool in their lifetime.

"If you can really do it, then you will be the leader of our entire civilization. In fact, if you really do what is mentioned above, you will actually become the father of our civilization." The artificial intelligence gave the highest evaluation he could with an expressionless face and without any tone.

Lan Nuo: ""

He felt that the truck drivers, courier workers and the like who he usually interacted with were all quite normal people. How could this top officer be so inhumane?

But no matter what, from that day on, Lan Nuo lived a life that went between the laboratory and the dormitory.
