Earth Era

In the lonely and cold cosmic space, the concept of time seems to have lost its meaning. ∷∷, because no matter how long it has passed, the Xinghai spacecraft is always silent, it is always suspended in this dark space quietly. Not only is it motionless, but the environment it is in has not changed in any way.

When Wei Feng woke up again, the starry sky he saw was no different from what he saw ten years ago. The sun is still the brightest star in the whole sky, and the infinite stars in the starry sky are still in their original positions, and there is no change at all.

They are like a quiet painting, a painting that naturally does not change.

But Wei Feng knew that this was just the perception of the naked eye. If you use precision instruments to analyze, with your own movement, the position and brightness of those stars are actually changing every moment, but you just can't notice it.

"It's been ten years again, Ye Luo, have you discovered anything during this time?" Wei Feng asked.

Ye Luo's voice was still steady, "I didn't find anything. In the ten years and 950 billion kilometers of voyage, I didn't see anything within 500 million kilometers next to us. The emptiness of this universe exceeds our imagination."

Ye Luo has been working all the time, and there has been no interruption in these ten years. Ye Luo was manipulating the telescope equipped on the Xinghai spacecraft to search the surrounding space every second, but Ye Luo couldn't find anything.

This is a very boring job. If Wei Feng is doing it, I am afraid that Wei Feng will go crazy within a month. Only Ye Luo can do such a job.

"Ye Luo, you've worked hard." Wei Feng said very seriously.

"I am an intelligent program, and the program will not feel hard." Ye Luo replied, "As long as there is enough energy and hardware guarantee. I can work until the end of the universe."

This sentence seems like nonsense, but generally speaking, there is always truth in nonsense. Smart programs really don't feel hard. They always have endless energy and they don't get fidgety. Not sad, not controlled by any emotion. They are born to strive for the goal set at the beginning, as Ye Luo said, "as long as there is enough energy and hardware guarantee", they can work until the end of the universe.

This is the biggest advantage of intelligent programs over life. In some cases, Wei Feng, no, not just Wei Feng. Scientists on Earth have also imagined the existence of mechanical civilization. Compared with living bodies, the advantages of mechanical civilization are too obvious. They are not troubled by short-lived life, nor hindered by difficulties such as culture, ideology, and internal disputes. It may be difficult for human civilization to spend a thousand years on an interstellar voyage, but for mechanical civilization, a thousand years is no different from one second.

At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of computer scientists and physicists, materials scientists, structural engineers, structural engineers and others joined forces to compile the huge intelligent program "Yeluo" in more than ten years. And now, it has taken three decades to prove its reliability. Although there are occasional minor bugs, although its capabilities are still very limited. But its powerful ability has been shown without omission.

This gave Wei Feng a little more anticipation for the possibility of the existence of mechanical civilization. Think about it, if Ye Luo's original goal was not to assist Wei Feng in manipulating the Xinghai spacecraft, but simply to obtain resources and copy himself to travel to other galaxies to continue to obtain resources. If this cycle continues, what kind of scene will it be?

Artificial intelligence is a product that emerged along with intelligent civilization. If intelligent civilization wants to develop, it must be inseparable from the help of artificial intelligence. But artificial intelligence is a very dangerous thing, and its existence may destroy the entire universe.

Maybe it was because he just woke up and his head was not under his control, Wei Feng couldn't help but think a little more at this moment. So Ye Luo said, "Captain, what's wrong with you? Do you need help?"

Wei Feng recovered from his thoughts. He tried to leave the hibernation capsule and said at the same time: "No. I'm fine, I'm fine. Ye Luo. Tell me what happened in the past ten years."

"There is nothing worthy of attention." Ye Luo replied, "The number of parts that need to be replaced and repaired has risen to more than 100, and my cumulative number of bugs has also increased to more than 100. In addition, the earth side Thirty or so notifications have been sent to us, but the urgency level is all b, and it has not yet reached the point where you need to be woken up urgently."

It seems that with the passage of time, the various defects and malfunctions of the Xinghai spacecraft and Yeluo itself have begun to be slowly exposed. Wei Feng knew that this would be an irreversible trend, and the number of faulty parts and accumulated bugs could only increase, just like the spaceship would always break more and more.

Wei Feng was already mentally prepared for this, so he didn't feel that there was anything unacceptable about it. Just like before, the faults and bugs that occurred during the ten-year slumber this time were all sent to Earth in advance by Ye Luo, and then the Earth experts drew up a maintenance plan. Wei Feng only needed to follow the script.

Just like restorative training and hibernation, repairing the spacecraft and eliminating leaf fall bugs are part of daily work, and Wei Feng does not have much interest in these things. Wei Feng was interested in the notifications sent by the Earth. In Wei Feng's view at the moment, this is the only thing that can maintain a "sense of connection" with the earth.

The first thing Wei Feng saw was a document signed "Deep Space Exploration Committee". When Wei Feng left the earth, there was no such institution, and Wei Feng did not know what work this institution was responsible for, but there were relevant explanations below the document. It said that the Deep Space Exploration Committee was the latest establishment of human civilization to conduct deep space exploration of the universe. The lead agency for all matters related to deep space exploration beyond the orbit of Neptune. The Island Project is naturally part of the Deep Space Exploration Program, so it falls within the scope of the Deep Space Exploration Committee. Simply put, this organization is Wei Feng's immediate boss and has command over Wei Feng.

In addition to announcing the change of ownership of Wei Feng and expressing encouragement to Wei Feng, the rest of this document only explains one thing, and that is about the discovery of metal fragments of unknown scientific and technological civilization sent back by Wei Feng.

Wei Feng originally thought that this incident would cause an uproar in human civilization, because in addition to the "plasma life form" incident hundreds of years ago, this should be the first time that human civilization has discovered evidence of the existence of alien intelligent civilization. But beyond Wei Feng's expectations, the Deep Space Exploration Committee simply conveyed to Wei Feng in the document that they had received relevant reports from Wei Feng and were organizing staff to follow up and study the matter. , let Wei Feng not distract his energy on this matter, and there is nothing else.

The calm attitude of the earth made Wei Feng puzzled. It seems that apart from the explanation that "the earth side attaches great importance to this matter, but they did not show their eagerness to calm their hearts", Wei Feng really doesn't know how to explain this matter.

Since the earth has already made relevant arrangements, Wei Feng has not continued to study this matter. Except for this document, the rest of the notifications were sent by the time traveler group.

"We feel that the social atmosphere seems to be getting worse and worse. When we go out, we see beggars appearing in the city. We don't know if this is a loophole in our social security system, and we don't have enough With the time and energy to investigate this matter, we just feel that something is wrong from the bottom of our heart. The technology of our human civilization has developed to this stage, and there were no beggars decades ago. Why are there beggars now?”

"It seems that more and more hostility has accumulated in this society. When we walk on the street, we always feel a sense of fear, because just a few days ago, I saw a group of people appearing out of nowhere. Punching and kicking a stranger next to me on the ground and then walking away, no passers-by helped the victim and no police showed up."

"There was a serious incident some time ago at the Mercury Heavy Industry Base. A worker blew up a storage tank, poisoning tens of thousands of people ~www.readwn.com~ and hundreds of them died."

"The latest survey data released by the Academy of Social Sciences shows that the growth rate of the human population has greatly exceeded the original expectation, and we are experiencing a new round of population explosion."

"I have a faint feeling that our human civilization seems to have gone through the most glorious period, and now it has begun to decline. This process is extremely slow, because it is too slow, so people are subtly accepting these things, and I don't think there's anything wrong with these things. But we're different time travelers, we're outsiders, and we can easily spot these things."

"The breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology has greatly increased the total resources of our human civilization, and has also brought us a highly material-rich life for hundreds of years, but now, this rapidly increasing population base seems to be disappearing. Our surplus resources, I am worried that if our resource extraction rate cannot keep up with the rate of population increase, our civilization will once again fall into an energy crisis" To be continued
