I pick up technology in the future world

Chapter 283 Mechanical Immortality
The old man was still remembering, Chen Fan did not interrupt and listened quietly.

"Successfully climbing to the top of the Milky Way, we naturally look to the more distant starry sky."

"However, the most terrifying barrier in the world has appeared."

"The distance between star systems is too long, and it's very weird."

"Even if our best battleship has to cross such a long starry sky, even if its life comes to an end, there is no way to complete it. At that time, the common individuals of our galaxy masters can live to more than 6000 galactic years..."

"The starry sky is too vast, even if the master of the Milky Way, who was at the pinnacle of strength at that time, is just a drop in the ocean, small and pitiful."

"That's a huge gap, an insurmountable gap."

"Compared to the filter of any previous civilization, it is stronger."

"It seems that the distance of the starry sky is limited, but in fact, it is far larger than the range we measured, and it is much larger. This is absolutely abnormal, but we have nothing to do..."

"In the end, we came to the conclusion that in order to really explore more distant starry sky, we can either live longer, or develop more advanced space technology."

"However, neither of these two roads can be easily followed."

"In the following time, we have been working towards this goal."

"However, next thing,"

"Soon, one generation, two generations, three generations... Hundreds of generations later."

"Something we didn't expect happened..."

"After hundreds of generations have passed away, our will to explore the more distant starry sky has begun to waver..."

"And even more terrifying things are gradually emerging."

"With the end of the unlimited external expansion, the internal unlimited expansion, at an unprecedented speed, the mass reproduction of the tribe, the allocation of resources, the solidification of classes, the huge empire gradually became chaotic and disorderly."

"This thing, according to what you say, is called entropy increase!"

"Without a constant supply of fresh water, the world is doomed from order to disorder."

"We have begun to notice this phenomenon, and we are also aware of the horror of this phenomenon. We are trying to reduce the speed of this malignant transformation through various measures..."

"But it's all in vain."

"The inertia of social science is even greater than we imagined. Our countless scholars' research and supercomputing simulations have only one conclusion in the end. This process of changing from order to disorder has always existed, but we The civilization of the world has been expanding rapidly, so the tension brought by the expansion has diluted the process of order becoming disorder, but once the speed of expansion slows down, slows down, or even stops, this order becomes disordered. The effect of order will be rapidly amplified."

"Moreover, the speed is getting faster and faster. Moreover, this process cannot be reversed, cannot be stopped, but can only be delayed." As the old man spoke, his figure became low.

And Chen Fan, from this few words, felt the scene described by Number Zero.

The increase in entropy cannot be eliminated or reversed, it can only be delayed.

For such a civilization that has climbed to the peak of the Milky Way, the Milky Way is like a prison, locking everything in it tightly.

And it can only watch itself weaken, grow old, and die day by day.

The old man looked at Chen Fan's expression and laughed, "You should have thought of it."

"After the development and expansion are suppressed, our civilization will inevitably begin to enter the process of weakening..."

"Of course we are not reconciled."

"We're trying to control the population, we're trying to introduce more robust internal rules, we're trying to do more..."

"We started breeding civilizations in captivity to try to find a solution."

"However, it was all in vain."

"Chaos, inevitably getting bigger and bigger."

"In order to prevent civilization from falling into irreversible chaos, the Supreme Council of the Galaxy Ruler finally decided to implement the cleanup plan."

"And I happened to be born at that special time."

"At that time, I showed amazing talent. I studied all the way and became famous. When I was only nine hundred years old, I became the youngest member of the highest science hall of the Galaxy Master."

"One thousand seven hundred years old, I became the backbone of the highest temple of science."

"And at that point, I finally found out about the plan."

"Mechanical immortality plan." Speaking of this, the old man sighed quietly, "Mechanical immortality is not to achieve individual immortality through machinery, but to tamper with the bottom program through intelligent machines throughout the entire galaxy civilization, allowing it to obtain independent consciousness , and directly kill the clansmen within the circle."

"Clean up your too bloated limbs, leave a small number of elites, delay the process of entropy increase, and avoid the complete decline of civilization due to overall chaos."

"And then realize the perpetuation of our own civilization..."

Chen Fan was terrified when he heard that, and felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.Chen Fan has seen too many civilizations that are cruel to other races, but this kind of civilization is also cruel to his own civilization.

Chen Fan can imagine how much such a plan will die for a civilization whose sphere of influence spreads across the entire Milky Way galaxy?

can't count...

uncountable...

The old man was no longer surprised when he saw this: "Let's be scary."

"Crazy."

"Or, it's hard to understand."

"However, this is a choice we have to face. Only when a strong man breaks his wrist can he abandon his car and save his handsome..."

"And I also became the person in charge of one of the research tasks in the plan." The old man said, falling into deeper memories, "Consciousness uploading."

Chen Fan's heart tightened.

"This is research that has been going on for tens of thousands of years."

"When I took over, after so many years and massive investment, I still couldn't get an answer. The distance from success is still far away. The consciousness is too mysterious. Even if it is only a first-line, there is still a huge gap."

"However, it is full of prospects. If I can completely complete the upload of consciousness, then, for our civilization, it will be a real means of salvation."

"Then, there is no need for mechanical immortality at all, consciousness is uploaded, and the virtual world has endless resources. That is the real mechanical immortality!"

"In order to save the entire civilization, I exploded with unprecedented enthusiasm..."

"Two thousand and eight hundred years later."

"I will always remember that day."

"Civilization has decided to implement the mechanical immortality plan, and at that time, the project of uploading consciousness has reached the final breakthrough point."

"I will always remember the moment when I stepped into the temple of science and confidently stopped it before the highest temple of science was ready to order the implementation of the plan."

"At that moment, I felt that I was about to save the entire civilization..."

"Unfortunately, everything is an illusion..."
