Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 254 The Dusty History of the Universe
"Synth?"

This is a term that Chen Xiaomeng has never heard of.

But only from the other side, the human consciousness is converted into electronic signals and then loaded into the computer.

Chen Xiaomeng understood that this was a brand new road that neither Portman nor mankind had ever traveled.

“The biggest difference between synthetics and robots is that robots are robots controlled by artificial intelligence, while synthetic humans are robots controlled by humans.”

"The master has been waiting inside for a long time. Please come with me."

After briefly answering the guest's doubts, maid Ali led the guest into the house.

"Are all people in England like this?"

Chen Xiaomeng couldn't help but be curious and whispered.

"Not necessarily. There are generally occupational regulations on whether to choose to become a synthetic human. Special occupations must be filled by synthetics, while non-special occupations can be decided according to one's own wishes."

Seeing the expression on Chen Xiaomeng's face, Aili immediately understood that the other party had misunderstood, and said with a smile.

"Becoming a synthetic human can lead to immortality. There is no compulsion."

"The lifespan of English people is not long. When they reach a certain age, they will choose to back up their consciousness. On the one hand, it is to prevent themselves from accidents. After the physical death, they can still load the hard disk storing their consciousness into the robot to achieve rebirth. "

"On the other hand, naturally, people who are about to die will also load their consciousness into the robot."

"There is no compulsion in this process, because the life span of an Englishman is only 200 years. After 200 years, whether you are willing or not, you can only survive as a synthetic human."

"Of course, recently there has also been a craze for prosthetic transformation in England. This is a trend brought about by Portman."

"However, after undergoing prosthetic transformation, they will only live for less than a thousand years, while synthetic humans can still achieve immortality for tens of thousands of years, so the final destination is still synthetic humans."

"Although it is rude to ask this, but Miss Maid, how old are you this year?"

Chen Xiaomeng said.

Maid Ali smiled faintly and didn't seem to take it to heart, "It's not even 2000, but I have been serving Howard for more than 1900 years."

As the saying goes, an old family is like a treasure.

Ai Li is an old monster who has lived for 2000 years. Whether it is character, experience, or other things, it is not comparable to normal civilized people.

What's even more terrifying is that Ellie is just a maid, has survived for 2000 years, and will continue to exist in the foreseeable future.

As for the entire English Empire, wouldn't there be many antiques dating back tens of millions of years?
Even older than that.

This depends on when the British country completed the synthetic human technology and promoted it on a large scale.

The two of them simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.

If it is true as Ellie said, then the population of the British Empire will be incalculable and has exceeded the limit they could imagine.

It is conservatively estimated that the development time of the British Empire exceeds tens of millions of years.

And among these tens of millions of years, how many people from tens of millions of years ago have always existed.

If there are new populations continuously until now, the total population of the entire English Empire can no longer be expressed in billions, and must be expressed in trillions, Jing, and Gai.

Ally brought everyone to Howard.

Both parties had already greeted each other in advance.Deng Linxue and the other party's daughter were classmates and friends, although some things happened during the period.

Regardless of the outcome, Deng Linxue's behavior was undoubtedly well-intentioned, and the other party saw it all.

After Howard heard about Deng Linxue's deeds, he also investigated Qin Xu's family.

It was discovered that they were psykers from humans, and the English Empire knew a lot about the realm of psionic energy.

After all, Alberto's Interstellar Complex, which once overpowered him, was a country with spiritual ascension.

The English Empire, which was in the same era as Alberto, naturally learned a lot of psychic information through Alberto's channels.

But the fact that the state understands psychic energy does not mean that ordinary people also understand it.

What's more, Alberto didn't even know how many thousands of years ago it happened.

Howard is still flesh and blood, and he will never be more than 200 years old. Naturally, he doesn't know much about psychic powers.

"I've already found out the specific situation with Nicole. I don't blame you for what happened that time. You are new here, and you are not familiar with Portman's situation, so you understand very well."

Obviously, for people living here, being robbed at gunpoint seems to be a common thing.

Afterwards, Howard briefly talked about what happened that day.

All along, Nicole was driven to and from school by Ally, but that day there was a problem with a key part in Ally's body.

Such parts are not available in Portman. They can only apply for them to be sent from England. It takes a long time to get them back and forth.

After what happened, Howard wanted to hire a bodyguard outside.

But after learning about Deng Linxue's strength from Nicole, she asked Deng Linxue to accompany Nicole to and from school.

Although the first time was because of Deng Linxue's unauthorized shooting, there is no doubt about his strength. One person killed more than a dozen people on the opposite side.

Of course, this was mainly what Nicole requested, and the father followed his daughter's wishes.

The two sides talked about some things about psychic powers.

Knowing that the English Empire is immortal, it is possible that people of the same generation as Alberto's star system still existed.

Qin Xu, who didn't know much about psychic powers, told him everything he knew so far without reservation.

Sure enough, after Qin Xu finished speaking, Howard said something in amazement.

"It turns out what happened with Alberto is true. There really is such a group of people with extraordinary abilities. This is a completely different path from ours."

Qin Xu keenly grasped the key and asked: "Do you know Alberto?"

Qin Xu knew about Yingjili's immortality.

But it was obvious that the flesh-and-blood person in front of him had not yet loaded his consciousness into the computer, so he could not be a person who had survived for tens of millions of years.

"Of course I know, it's written in our history books. Although it is impossible to learn every piece of history in such a long time, we still have to remember the key nodes. For example, in 4000 Thousands of years ago, a natural disaster occurred in the Eastern Galaxy."

"Before the natural disaster appeared, we did not know that it was a natural disaster. Although we had dealt with Suzheng and Thorin protozoa, no one at the time realized that these things that we now consider to be natural disasters were what they eventually broke out. The reign of terror that came out.”
