The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"……That's it?"

"Yes, other intelligent races will serve us and offer us food. In the distant past, they worshiped us because we are the closest to God. In countless ages, these weak races have gradually lost their unreliable memories, The old reverence is gone. So we keep them at a distance, accepting offerings and not blessing them." It raises a paw "When the sun rises and the stars reappear in the sky, we will teach How do these ignorant races sail in the sea of ​​stars. Before that time comes, we seal this knowledge in the memory of the group. Therefore, live here and live well, eat well, sleep well, and breed well. That's our job."

Oregana nodded secretly in her heart.

Is this how it works...

First choose a race, let them become containers, and store knowledge in it-this race cannot be a conventional intelligent race, because it will make them have too much ambition and desire.It cannot be a particularly weak race, because if it is too weak, it is not surprising that it will be extinct for a long time.At the same time, it is necessary to be close to the intelligent race so that it becomes an obstacle when knowledge needs to be handed over, but it is also necessary to keep a distance to prevent the box from being suddenly opened.

And is this the result...?

Looking at the cat lying on the ground with its hands in its hands and squinting its eyes, Oregana took a deep breath—she sincerely hoped that the pioneer must have some other way to pass on knowledge, and relying on such a guy is really not very safe.

But what if...even the pioneers don't know how long it will take?

Although the creations of the pioneers are strong, they are not immortal. In the limited records, ancient humans once witnessed the collapse of the pioneer ruins somewhere in Cham Hak, and the building materials fell down neatly along the crystal plane, just like a waterfall of crystals.After 3000 years, human cities will turn into jungles, and after a million years, the pioneer buildings will also turn into ruins.

And those who continue to run among the ruins are the animals that can easily survive.They require no maintenance, because knowledge and experience persist in the population as long as the population is maintained, perhaps on geological scales.The only way to make a record pass down as long as possible is to engrave it deep enough on a large enough stone, and to record it in a living thing.

But that's just a guess.After all, during the prosperous period of the Forerunner Empire, there were even pioneer equipment that operated in units of tens of millions of years, such as the pioneer knowledge engine named "Abadon", which served as the supervisor and guardian of the "Intellectual Domain", and the intellectual domain It is also a pioneer creation. It has been operating efficiently for a long time. It has never seen even a character BUG. Before it developed, the pioneers had already installed a super-powerful and super-wide-range wireless network for these "eldest sons of gods".

Does the guy who hooks up with the eldest son of God have his own WIFI...

But another wave of the eldest sons of gods, after cutting off their braids, began to contact the Internet used by ordinary civilization.That's why Oregana occasionally finds that under the pictures of cats and cats she posts on her social accounts, she often sees likes from Artanis.There is a unique sense of surreality every time you see it.

But after searching most of the galaxies so far, there is no permanent device made by neurophysics technology. There is nothing else except the gate, as if they deliberately want to avoid this technology.Or, because I don’t want to cause large-scale turbulence and troublesome things at the subspace level, I abandoned most of the proud neurophysics technology and used lower-level but more stable and concealed technology to complete it. Whole system build?

There is such a possibility...

Oregana nodded slightly, and she continued to ask:

"Then... is there anything special about us? Why do you approach us?"

"Because you have the scent of the Creator on your body, I can feel that you have touched our god."

what? !

If you want to say if you have ever been in contact with a pioneer, Oregana must have been in contact with it—for example, the multi-eyed pudding who once cooperated with the dark worms and backstabbed.But there is no such thing as a multi-eye pudding and leaving a mark on himself, neither physically nor consciously.The body is constantly being replaced, and the consciousness is also constantly checking. If there is really something, it would have been known long ago.

It shouldn't have been discovered...

Afterwards, Mao Mao bowed his head towards Liu Lizi:

"I'm afraid it is because of this that you can make this great king submit to you."

"..."

"..."

"...?"

"Wang..." Liu Lizi blinked, then stretched out her index finger and pointed at herself with a tangled face, "Is the king referring to me?"

"That's right, we've never seen a king as powerful as you, in terms of size or strength—not even among the ancestors. I'm sure."

"...huh?" (sluggish)

Seeing Liu Lizi's dumbfounded appearance, Oregana became interested in the world through the cat's eyes...

"Put these things aside first." She comforted Liu Lizi, the 'big cat king', and said to the black and white cat, "Can you tell us about the Creator and you?"

"We can't give you the knowledge, but this part of the memory doesn't matter." Mao Mao raised his head, with a look of "what's wrong with Mao Mao?" "But we need to enshrine."

Contact the previous article to judge, this is to eat.

"...Can you tell me if you give it?"

"Yes."

Oregana nodded, she opened the Planck container at her waist, and took out a green-wrapped metal box from inside.The box is a flattened cylinder with a pull tab and a cat's head and 'Yummy!' printed on the side. ''Life energy! 'The words.

Simply put, it's a can of cats.

She put the can on the ground and pulled it open with a snap, and all the cats' ears stood up with a 'snap'.

Then take out the second box, the third box, the fourth box... Open one by one, and place them on the wooden floor next to the carpet in turn.Every time the metal can collided with the wooden floor and made a dull sound, the cats' heads rose and fell, and their eyes were fixed but fixed.

"Boss... what is this?"

"Canned cat food. We specially bought it outside the garden of my loving father. It is super healthy. If you eat it, you can get immunity to various common diseases, and it can also treat hair loss and black chin. From spiritual cats to hell's cat cars, and even A Grumman fighter jet thrown in the warp long enough will be satisfying."

"...Why do you carry this with you? Do you want to abduct a cat from outside?"

"It's nothing like that, it's just for emergencies." ("What kind of emergencies are you carrying canned cat food with you!") Oregana quickly shook her head in denial, "Look, now this emergency Is it necessary to come!"

She waved:

"Everyone, this is our offering—come and eat the can!"

Immediately, the cats rushed in with a bang, buried their heads in the can, and began to eat. All of them looked like they had been released from a starvation prison—only a messy garden was left outside.

Take the first bite, and the introduction begins—anyway, this way of communication does not require a mouth, and it does not affect the cooking:

"We were born on a planet named Chamu Hak, and the Creator chose his favorite races to stand out from the ignorant races. He took our ancestors and some other races through time and space. Avoid the chaos of war and recuperate here. The Creator led us to spread the fire of life among the stars, and we witnessed the transformation of planets from barren to prosperous..."

Oregana stood up and threw herself on the sofa with a complicated smile on her face.

Such important and complicated information was obtained in such a simple way...

Chapter 1169 Chapter 188: A Competitive Competition between Fathers' Kindness and Sons' Filial Piety.gif

Since ancient times, human beings have liked to discuss serious matters at the dinner table, such as the deployment of Hangu Pass and Xianyang, the transfer of the imperial army in the early Song Dynasty, the revision of the administrative divisions of the fifteen cities of Zhao State and Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin State, It's all decided at the dinner.What is happening at the moment is also a 'dinner table conversation'.

Oregana and her group were sitting on the sofa, bed or floor, holding instant hot dry noodles in their hands and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, there were hairballs all over the floor, and each hairball buried its face in the canned cat food. Here, I couldn't stop eating, and the scene was harmonious.From the perspective of the atmosphere alone, it looks like a construction worker who just got off work is eating and feeding stray cats, but in fact this is——

The fifth type of contact between the boss of a super interstellar civilization cooperation organization and a secret keeper left over from an ultra-ancient civilization.

While eating noodles, Oregana felt that she might have an incredible talent in diplomacy that she hadn't discovered before, and she was secretly proud of herself.But part of her attention was on the story of the cat—it didn’t matter if she didn’t pay attention, this way of communication made her head buzz.

The cat's mouth... No, the cat's mouth is still babbling while it's dry. It doesn't have time to talk, but its mind doesn't stop for a moment.

That's a long story.

In the extremely distant past, the creators left their hometown and came to the Milky Way to spread the fire of life.They're so powerful and full of wit - the cats go to lengths to describe this part, making everyone's scalps literally tingle.

And it can be summed up in just a few sentences-the existence of the Creator is attributed to several philosophical definitions, namely "mantle" and "living time", using a technology called "neurophysics", which This technology can be used to influence the structure of the universe.According to their theory, the universe itself is a living whole, although the organic life forms in it are very different.The creed of the Creator is that "the evolution of all organic life contributes to the evolution of this vast whole".

They spread life, but do not interfere with the vast majority of life - considering that strife, pain and evil are an inherent part of the universe, the Creator does not show mercy widely, struggling between good and evil, pain and pleasure, coupled with An emotional factor called "sweetness" is similar to human beings, and life is like this.

In this way, the identity is completely confirmed, and this is indeed a pioneer.

[At that time, the creator had just left Ghibalb, and they were disappointed with the 'firstborn'...that is, the lowlanders here, thinking that they were not enough to take on the mantle. 】The black and white cat has food stuck to its whiskers, it sticks out its pink tongue and licks it once and for all, it looks like an ordinary cat on the outside 【So go to Charm Huck, we met the Creator at that time of. 】

Oregana said that she is very familiar with this passage - she has read the extremely similar script twice, and the relationship between the Creator and the eldest son of God seems to eventually develop to the point where "he said it can be played!" ''The firstborn son of God is no longer afraid of you! ''Burst burst! ' stage, this seems to be a destiny... (far eye)

Although she has not encountered it yet, she also knows that the phenomenon of fatherly kindness and filial piety is more serious in "Mass Effect". The destruction of the created synthetic body, this mode of [development-create your own destroyer] has become the inevitable fate of organic life civilization, which makes Leviathan very uncomfortable, because 'of course the dead will not give us tribute' .In order to protect the organic species under their hands, Leviathan devoted himself to designing an artificial intelligence, trying to make it solve this problem at all costs.

That's right, 'whatever it takes'.

A thing like artificial intelligence, as soon as it hears the word 'whatever it takes', it will turn into abhorrent intelligence within a second.So it didn't take long for this artificial intelligence to think that interrupting civilization and preserving it in a specific form is the best way to protect organisms. It is almost predictable, and then it decisively turned Leviathan into a movable figure .From now on, they come out every 5 years to preserve the genes, knowledge and culture of the organism, thus preventing the organism from being completely destroyed by the synthetic body.

Later, this abominable intellect was called the Reaper. (cover face)

What if Leviathan's order to the Reapers was to 'let everyone live happily'? emmm... Anyway, it will definitely overturn, and I don't know how these people write programs for AI, so that the next command is like wishing on the Black Holy Grail...

And the timing seems to be right.

In the world line that everyone knows, after the pioneers were disappointed with the forerunners, they began to go to the earth to support human beings, shaping human beings into the role of successors.This process has been going on for a long time, evidenced by various records showing that, at least before the activation of Halo, there were a large number of pioneer relics on the earth in Chamu Hak... that is.

This is different from Amon's operation of being beaten first and then changing the land.

When the pioneers were still proud of being the successors of the mantle and working hard, the pioneers had already opened the second mine.Over there, the pioneers promoted a kind of upright ape who was good at running naked on the savannah, allowing them to stride into the age of civilization.At the same time, it was also discovered that there was a subspecies of an animal with a natural mind link-a certain subspecies of the African wild cat.

This is a highly competitive subspecies, as this telepathic link allows them to hunt more efficiently and form larger colonies than their non-mutated relatives.Although the psychic energy produced when they gather cannot be used by themselves, it can be mobilized by some human souls who have just died, and briefly projects the appearance and voice of the dead before completely leaving the material universe, and is unconsciously related to the soul of the newborn. A touch between them can lull restless babies to sleep.This made the original humans think that they are creatures that connect life and death, and are gifts from nature to humans, so they carefully feed these animals with respect and fear.

And for these subspecies of African wildcats, it's a bit of a mystery.Their little heads can't understand all of this, but it's a good thing to live in a safe place and eat and drink for free, so let's live anyway... 0w0

This stay... Honestly speaking, natural selection has nothing to do with them, and the normal evolutionary process ends here.

But because these creatures are primitive and relatively stupid, they cannot take on the mantle.But also because they are not so smart, there will be no phenomenon that the social structure is maturing and the appearance of individual thoughts will lead to unstable or even collapsed psychic links.So after the arrival of the pioneers, they got their own jobs - recorders, keepers, observers, and nodes between humans and the Nososphere.

Listening to such a story told by the cats, Oregana, Liu Lizi and the accompanying fox all stood up.

It's kind of funny to be honest...

Analyze according to the existing information, because the psionic organs produced by mutation are usually not inherited in the process of natural selection.why?Because this is really not a good thing for wild animals-extra organs, especially such high-energy-consuming organs, require more energy, and if they cannot supply energy to the growth of bones and muscles, then it will It will become thinner, less efficient hunting, less energy, and then a vicious cycle... and a skinny wild animal is difficult to leave offspring.

Some people think that after possessing psychic organs, animals can hunt through methods such as mind blasting?This is basically impossible, just like the [eye] organ was originally just a photoreceptor cell, which cannot zoom, cannot judge distance, and cannot distinguish colors.The same is true for psychic organs. At first, there were only synapses, and they could feel a little strange things. As for the physical effects?That must have happened after a long time.

Of course the pioneers are not cat lovers, they are just as calm and rational as the impression left on people before, they just adjust the creatures to what they expect - comprehensively improve human beings so that they are ready to inherit the mantle, and then Take advantage of another protozoan and use their evolved talents to help you better implement your plan.

The Pioneers saw everything as a tool to carry out the tenet that the evolution of all organic life contributes to the evolution of this vast whole, and believed deeply in their own philosophy.But this point, the creatures who regard them as gods can't realize it, and no one will question Tiantiao—after all, not everyone makes furry lovers (except monkeys) Erlang Zhenjun completely reduced to war. Liu Chenxiang, the brother of the force unit, is of course not that monkey.

There is only one possibility for mortals to raise the banner against the real 'god', and that is to find that this god is not what they believe in--at that time, they will burn everything they believed in before.

When the Forerunners found out that they were no longer seen as heirs to the mantle and attacked in anger, did the Forerunners know it?

Oregana picked up the spicy radishes at the bottom of the bowl one by one with chopsticks and threw them into her mouth, chewing slowly.How did the pioneers find out that they are no longer the heirs to the mantle?

It is definitely not because they discovered the earth, the second pioneer mine. Although the exact time is unknown, but because there are only two parties in the war between the pioneers and the pioneers, it is certain that the pioneers at this moment know nothing about the earth and human beings. Knowing that the true heir is there—if he knew, it would be impossible for the battle not to affect humanity.

So here comes the question - the forerunners didn't know the existence of human beings, so how did they know that they couldn't become the heirs to the mantle?And how did the pioneers complete the evacuation of the solar system without being noticed?

This will probably never be known.The only thing I know is that the pioneers were indeed hurt in this war.

"At that time, the Creator took us, some of the 'eldest sons', and some humans who were willing to follow, and left the original world." The cat pushed the empty jar over and motioned for another jar.When the can was opened and placed in front of it, it continued to speak "At that time, we discovered a new kind of creature-they were huge in size, fed on the planet and intelligent creatures, and had amazing energy. The creators happened at that time Disagreement."

"Divergence? What disagreement?"

"Some creators think that this kind of creature called Void Breeding can be used to complete revenge on traitors, some creators think that this is not in line with our tradition; some creators think that this kind of creature is also a part of the universe and should not be imposed Intervention, and the part that firmly believes that leaving them alone will ruin everything, must be acted on now."

Seeing such a ghost for the first time, without understanding its nature, even the Herald would be thrown into confusion.The philosophy they have been adhering to for so many years has instead become a shackle that constrains their thinking. It is from this point that they can be seen-they are not gods who transcend all things, but are still just a biological essence.

"So they acted after they agreed?"

"There was no agreement, but all of them acted decisively." 0w0

"Fuck..."

Low EQ: They're fighting each other.

High emotional intelligence: Although no agreement was reached, everyone still took action decisively.
