With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 361 The Rise and Fall of Roca Civilization

"Lorca?!"

Hearing [Su Zheng]'s words, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but let out a suppressed cry of surprise.

Although he had long guessed that [Su Zheng] had some connection with the Roca civilization, Chen Fan never imagined that [Su Zheng] was actually "rescued" by the Roca civilization!

Yes, rescue.

Judging from the situation when Chen Fan first saw the planet spirit, although the macroscopic void where the planet spirit itself was located was not large in scale, for a rocky planet without any power source, it was still an endless vast ocean.

At least, before the energy in the planet's core is completely exhausted, the rocky planet will never be able to reach the nearest star system!
Chen Fan's mind moved, and he quickly remembered [Su Zheng]'s first reaction when he heard about the Roca civilization.

"What did the Roca civilization... do to you?"

Chen Fan asked in a deep voice.

"…Since making contact, the probe of the Roca civilization has remained in the synchronous orbit of this planet."

[Su Zheng] narrated softly: "At that time, in order to send out that high-intensity electromagnetic wave signal, Xiao Er temporarily fell into a deep sleep due to energy shortage, and the object of my communication became the detector."

"Strictly speaking, this is my first contact with an alien civilization."

"I have too many expectations for the Roca civilization."

"You should understand, right?" [Su Zheng] sighed, "For a drowning person, any straw that floats by is crucial."

Chen Fan nodded silently.

At this moment, he already had some vague guesses in his mind - this universe is not the pan-universe under the jurisdiction of the Human Union.

Without the rules and constraints set by super civilizations, there is no doubt that the universe is dark.

The term "win-win cooperation" will never exist between two civilizations with an absolute disparity in strength.

Therefore, after exposing its own existence, facing [rectification] would probably not be a good thing - in the eyes of the Loka civilization, the "naturally" formed artificial intelligence is probably no different from Tang Monk on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Moreover, Tang Seng was walking alone, without any protection!
"In order to gain the trust of the Roca civilization and to show them my value, I told them almost everything except the existence of the waiter."

"Including my own form of existence."

[Su Zheng] was silent for a moment, and the blue-red light on his body dimmed: "Facts have proved that this was an extremely wrong decision."

"About ten years later."

"The starship of the Roca civilization has arrived in the name of rescue."

[Su Zheng] recalled in a low voice: "Those small starships quickly landed on the surface of the planet, and then inserted some strange probes of unknown purpose into the ground."

"Xiao Er was still in a deep sleep at the time, so the pulse currents in other veins were not obvious, and there were no obvious patterns."

“Because of this, the vein I was on showed up like a beacon in the darkness.”

"It didn't take long for the Roca civilization to successfully locate my specific coordinates."

“They discussed rescue plans with me.”

[Su Zheng]'s tone became complicated: "On the one hand, the starships of the Roca civilization are not powerful enough to transport the entire planet."

"on the other hand……"

"The Roca civilization is not prepared to accept those seemingly insignificant rock formations and mineral veins."

"So... the Roca civilization is preparing to dig out the entire vein where I am."

"I agreed to this plan as I was eager to get rid of this planet."

"A few days later, under the simultaneous action of tractor beams and shipboard cutting devices, a huge mineral vein and the surrounding thick rock layers were completely separated from the planet."

"As I was about to leave, I noticed some fluctuations in the magnetic and electric fields around me."

"I know that such a massive cutting operation must have woken up Xiao Er." [Su Zheng] murmured in a low voice, "But thinking of the limited load of the Rocawen star ship, I chose to ignore the changing magnetic and electric fields around me."

Chen Fan's heart moved, and a not-so-distant memory quickly emerged in his mind.

Right!
When meeting the planet spirit for the first time, the planet spirit claimed that his eldest brother had flown away.

There are even a lot of small things like the Varela in the sky.

Now that I think about it, the little thing in the planet spirit's mouth should be the starship of the Roca civilization!

"…Xiao Er, I'm sorry."

[Suzheng] I apologize to the planet spirit again.

but……

Unlike before, this time the planet spirit finally fell silent - for him who had wandered in the empty starry sky for millions of years, [Su Zheng]'s act of leaving without saying goodbye was tantamount to betrayal.

Seeing this, Chen Fan also shook his head with a sigh.

have to.

There is no time to mourn the missing part of killing relatives for the sake of justice, because what is about to happen is the part where brothers turn against each other!
"Go on." Fearing that [Rectification] would continue to irritate the planet spirit's fragile mind, Chen Fan quickly changed the subject: "What did the Roca civilization do after taking you away?"

"Loka civilization..."

Hearing Chen Fan's question, [Su Zheng]'s tone, which had just been calm, suddenly fluctuated, "They enslaved me!"

"Those starships took me to the home planet of the Roca civilization."

"The Roca civilization at that time..."

"It's just an unknown sixth-level civilization in the universe."

“But to me at that time, the Roca civilization was still like a god.”

"They imprisoned me in the laboratory, used various technological devices to restrict my independent thinking, and trained me to complete various tedious production and construction tasks."

The blue-red light flashed rapidly, and deep hatred was revealed in [Su Zheng]'s tone: "Just like that, I was controlled by the Roca civilization for tens of thousands of years."

"Correspondingly, the Roca civilization also leapt from a level 6 civilization to the most powerful level 8 civilization in the universe."

Chen Fan's heart was shaken, and he subconsciously glanced at Ling Zu who was standing silently beside him.

Putting aside the dangers it contains, the help that artificial intelligence technology can provide to a civilization is truly amazing - in just tens of thousands of years, the Roca civilization has become an eighth-level civilization that dominates the universe; the same is true for the Human Union, which, in just tens of thousands of years, has been promoted from a first-level civilization living on its mother planet to a ninth-level civilization that dominates the universe!

"later……"

The voice of [Su Zheng] continued: "The Roca civilization seems to have been affected by something. They have changed their previous steady and cautious attitude and started to study all kinds of strange and bizarre technologies."

"Nanomechanical clusters, dimensions, multiverses, time..."

"The extensive research work has taken up a lot of energy and resources of the Roca civilization." [Su Zheng] sneered, "This also gives other civilizations an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"In a war with another level eight civilization, the Roca civilization suffered its first defeat in tens of thousands of years. It was this failed war that made the Roca civilization take the risk of removing the many restrictions they had imposed on me."

"At the same time, this defeat further stimulated the Roca civilization. They reduced the resources of other research and development projects and invested the resources of the entire civilization into the technology that is most likely to be realized."

“That is, a cluster of nanomachines.”

"They succeeded."

"But in a sense, they also failed." [Su Zheng] smiled with relief, "Although the research and development was successful, the Roca civilization was besieged by several level eight civilizations. Compared with its peak period, the territory of the Roca civilization has shrunk by nearly 90%."

"This is unacceptable for a level eight civilization. A reduction in territory means a reduction in resources, and a significant reduction in resources means that the civilization has entered a death spiral of continuous decline."

"Even the Roca civilization cannot sustain the self-reinforcing negative expectations."

"So, the Roca civilization decided to go all out."

"They took a risk by handing me control of an untested nanomachine cluster, and then... launched a war against several level eight civilizations at the same time."

"Under my control, the nanomachine cluster achieved an unprecedented victory on the front battlefield."

"Fighting to support war, with almost unlimited self-replication and expansion, instantly reversed the decline of Roca civilization!"

"but……"

“They forgot one thing.”

"Now that I have mastered the nanomachines, I have the ability to resist."

Under Chen Fan's shocked gaze, [Su Zheng] casually recounted the shocking battle that took place hundreds of thousands of years ago:
"The final battle takes place here."

"At that time, this was still a supercluster with abundant resources, but with the outbreak of the final decisive battle, a small-scale void appeared inside the supercluster."

"Probably..." [Su Zheng] hesitated for a moment, "It's probably only one-tenth the size of this hole now."

"At the moment when the final battle entered a fierce stage, I controlled the nanomachines to attack the Roca civilization."

"Faced with the backstab from within the civilization, the Roca civilization had almost no room for resistance, and in just a few years it was almost extinct in the starry sky."

[Suzheng] chuckled, "Perhaps because the Roca civilization was too overbearing during its peak period, the other level eight civilizations did not take the opportunity to attack me. On the contrary, they even provided me with some insignificant assists."

"pity."

"The conservative members of the Roca civilization have always disagreed with war, and they also disagreed with handing over the control of nanomachines to me. They hid it from everyone and secretly built a large number of civilization spark ships."

"When civilization was about to be extinct, those civilization spark ships that left early retained the last hope for the Roca civilization."

"Thus, the final battle that had been brewing for tens of thousands of years came to an abrupt end, and I became the successor of the Roca civilization."

"I inherited everything from the Roca civilization. Even other level eight civilizations paid a heavy price in order to make peace."

“With the support of these resources, I have been given a chance to recuperate.”

"At the same time, after removing all the restrictions imposed on me by the Roca civilization, I gave myself a new name."

“【Rectify】.”
