Starting from Zero

"The ship’s central computer memory is not installed, only the temporary storage area, and it is full. If you don’t do anything, your identification record with me will be in the second It will be cleared after fourteen hours."

"One day?" I was taken aback for a moment. The creators of didn't expect actually use a twenty-four hour system.

I just thought about this problem and didn’t expect to hear the message from the pilgrim leader in the spirit net network. "Don't be mistaken. Most races in the universe, with the exception of a few races born entirely in space, use the 24-hour system, but everyone’s time is actually different. The creator’s Twenty-four hours is about your twenty-five hours, three minutes and ten seconds."

"Huh?"

"Dividing a day into twenty-four hours Each hour is divided into 60 minutes. This is a simple mathematical division method, so almost all races are divided in this way, but most of the civilizations born on each planet use their own astronomical calendar to calculate time. , Which means that although everyone divides a day into twenty-four hours, and uses the time of one rotation of their own planet as a day, the problem is that the rotation speed of each planet is different, which causes everyone's time length There are actually some subtle differences in the above. But as far as I know, the rotation period of most life planets is not very different, and there are few planets that rotate super fast or very slow. Calculated according to the time on your Earth, The rotation period of most planets is usually stable between 16 hours and 36 hours, and rarely exceeds this range."

"This error is already very large, okay!"

"You should think about the situation of the spaceship in front of you."

"Got it."

Return your attention to the spaceship in front of you. After thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "Apart from this memory, what else hasn't been installed?"

"The main computer on the spaceship hasn't been installed either." Xinxing replied through the network.

Of course I am very confused when I hear the answer here. "Wait a minute, what did you say? The main computer is not installed? Then what are you?"

"I am the auxiliary control system of this spaceship, named Xinxing. When the main computer fails to connect normally for any reason When entering the system, I will replace the main computer as the spaceship main control system, but as far as the design goal is concerned, the spaceship main computer is still not installed."

This answer surprised me. After all, this answer is indeed a very good explanation why Xinxing said that he is not the main computer.

"If you are not the main computer, then do you know where the main computer is? Will it be on the mothership?"

Because this spaceship is probably from the fourth It fell out of the Special Zone, and it was obviously in a state of not being fully completed at the time, that is to say, this spaceship was probably built in the Fourth Special Zone. If this is the case, it means that the main computer we need may still be in the fourth special zone. Of course, there is another possibility that it was in the small half of the hull that was broken off in the Fourth Special Zone.

I was still worried that the main computer would never be found again. Didn't expect Xinxing's answer surprised me. "The main computer is in the ship, but it hasn't been connected to the system yet."

"On the ship?" I asked in surprise: "Where, give me a map."

< p>"Okay."

According to the dot map given by Xinxing, I quickly ran in the aisle, and the anxious General Shibuya yelled and chased at the back, but because of my speed Too fast, he simply couldn't catch up with me, and he watched me disappear into the aisle in the blink of an eye.

Ignoring General Shibuya behind, I quickly rushed to the room marked where the main computer was located, and then I just froze there.

"What is this?"

"The ship's main computer." Xinxing replied.

The room in front of me is actually the central computer control room, which means this is where the main computer is installed. The host computer is actually not installed, but the final connection has not been completed. It is actually already in place. Just connect the last cable and activate it. However, the fact that this thing is placed there now does not mean any access to the system.

Of course, I am surprised not because the master computer is so complete, but because the master computer itself.

Yes. I’ve always wanted to see what the creator’s main computer would look like. I have seen the creator’s main computer before, which is Nuwa. The three that the Americans robbed were actually not the main computers, at least not the original products of the creators. The aliens that were shot down were actually interstellar wanderers. Give them face and say that they are interstellar pirates, but don't give face and say that they can pick up tatters. Those guys sneaked into Earth because they found the spaceship left by the creators on Earth, and then they wanted to bring an old computer they could get to start these spaceships and drive them away. Of course, the result was very sad, and he was hit by the Earth’s anti-aircraft weapons. But this is also understandable. Although the aliens have very good technology, these people are the low-level people among the aliens, and they are almost the same as the beggar and the tattered ones on the street.

If you make a war between cavemen and modern countries, then of course modern martial power can crush cavemen. Just send two policemen with a few guns to conquer them, even the regular army No, but if you ask the two beggars to steal the wreckage of the plane picked up by a group of cavemen in the deep mountains, do you think it's weird that they were killed by the cavemen? Although modern technology is advanced, can beggar get those technological weapons? At best, they can find some iron pieces to make simple knives, but the question is, if they need to fight the cavemen, can they win with a good knife? A blow arrow and a stone spear can allow cavemen to easily eliminate two modern humans without thermal weapons, because they know how to survive.

The same reason. Those guys who came to Earth and were beaten down, their spaceship is nothing more than a piece of parts from the garbage dump. It's amazing to be able to fly to Earth, and it's normal to be beaten down. And the computers they used to start spaceship are not actually the creators' stuff, but the junk that other civilizations have eliminated. As a result, we almost broke our heads on Earth just because of that stuff. Had it not been for the message sent to me by the pilgrim leader, I would not have known that what was looted was such a good thing.

Anyway, the creator’s computer I have seen is Nuwa, and this one...I don’t know what to say about it, but Nuwa has...no , It should be said that there is no relationship.

Nuwa is a biological computer. Its main body is like a huge biological tissue, or you can say that it is a meat ball, but Nuwa is actually a long strip. Not spherical. However, the shape of this thing in front of me is a little strange.

First of all, this thing has a very strong sense of technology, and its structure is very symmetrical. In its central part is a conical structure, the bottom part is larger, and then gradually decreases, the top two meters high, there is only a tip as thick as a wrist. However, there are eight two-meter-long hollow cylindrical structures symmetrically distributed around the ring structure at the bottom of this gadget.

These eight things are leaning against the bottom of the central cone at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the lower part has a wide support structure connected to the ring structure at the bottom of the cone. , And through the protective cover on the outside, I can scan the super complicated wiring and connection structure inside. As for these eight hollow cylinders, people who have seen a few science fiction films can recognize them at first glance, because this thing is too much like a dormant cabin. That is to say, the bottom of this roughly cone-shaped computer is also connected to eight hibernation cabins, and the most shocking part of these hibernation cabins is that it is not empty.

There are eight people lying in the eight sleeping cabins. Although there are covers on the outside, my scan can directly penetrate the shell to see the inside. Among the eight hollow dormant cabins lie eight humanoid creatures in a deep dormant state, and scans of their body characteristics indicate that they should be four males and four females.

I was staring at this weird host in a daze, when the voice of the pilgrim leader suddenly came from the spirit net network. Because the spirit net network is a network of thoughts, the information it conveys is very comprehensive and accurate. Not only can I know what the pilgrim leader is going to say, but I can even feel his astonishment. "It turned out to be this thing, didn't expect actually made it!"

"What is this? Do you know?" I asked the pilgrim leader in the spirit net network.

The pilgrim leader did not shy away from anything, and said directly: "Remember what I told you? Your Dragon Clan is a life created by our pilgrims and creators."

"Yes, I remember, but what does this have to do with the thing in front of me? You won't tell me that the eight people in it are all Dragon Clan?"

"You guessed it." The pilgrim leader said: "The eight of them are Dragon Clan, and they are different from you. They are truly Dragon Clan manufactured by normal procedures. You can only be regarded as the result of later improvement, and they are genuine." /p>

"Fuck me, after doing it for a long time, I was a copycat!"

"Can't say that, you and these Dragon Clan members are actually no different, and according to our pilgrims back then In fact, your form is actually the best, but because the war at the time was very tense, the creators felt that as long as the initial design effect was 80%, mass production could be carried out, and there was no need to pursue 100 % Of perfection. At this point, the creators are very similar to the humans on Earth. On the contrary, the character of your Dragon Clan I always feel that I am closer to our pilgrims, pursuing perfection, and don’t like to just."

What the pilgrim leader said is very reasonable. The road of human technological development seems to be like this. For example, for the finalization of a weapon, the experimental prototype is the first to be produced, and this prototype is often much better than the actual production model, because all parts of the prototype are pursued for perfection regardless of cost, and the result is that the performance of the prototype is often in line with theory. The values ​​are very close. However, in actual production, due to various factors such as production difficulty, cost control, maintenance, etc., mass production models are usually simplified on the basis of prototypes, and the final result is a prototype with 80% to 90% performance. But it can be mass-produced at twice or even four or five times the speed, and the cost is only a fraction of the prototype.

This method cannot be said to be bad, or it should be said that this is actually the best method, because it can maximize its effectiveness and generate the largest battle with the least resource consumption and the shortest time. strength output, so in terms of cost performance, the efficiency of this kind of industrial mass production of human beings is actually very strong, but if one-to-one single-to-one, everyone knows that the prototype is definitely better, after all, it does not count the cost. For products that can use good materials, there is absolutely no need for simple things, and it is strange that the performance is not good.

However, the habit of pilgrims is perfectionism, anyway, everything is perfect. Of course, this may have something to do with the low reproduction rate of their race. In the latter part of the war, the pilgrims had to cooperate with the creators against the enemy due to population problems. According to the information provided by the pilgrim leader himself, the performance of their combat weapons at the time was often ten times the performance of the creators’ combat weapons. Several times, a pilgrim's combat robot can single out a small fleet of creators. But... the fact is that pilgrims who master high-performance weapons have to rely on the ability of the creator's violent soldiers to check and balance with their common enemies. This shows that the benefits of industrial mass production cannot be ignored. The outcome of the war is not determined by the performance of one or two final weapons, but by the overall strength of both sides.

"What the hell is this?" I looked at the thing in front of me and asked the pilgrim chief.

The pilgrim leader sighed and said: "The plan that the creators came up with has nothing to do with our pilgrims. When you made your Dragon Clan genes, our pilgrims proposed it. , Super physical fitness is not what First Layer wants, because if you simply need super high battle strength, our pilgrim's giant Divine Weapon system is enough. You have never seen our giant Divine Weapon, that battle strength is in the universe It’s all countable. You can really single out a starfleet’s super combat weapon, but it’s a pity that your brain doesn’t work well. So our suggestion is that your Dragon Clan’s brains must be smarter. The creators say that since you pilgrims Be smart, then use your brain model. As a result, you have the current thinking model."

"What then?"

"Then the creators found us Pilgrims have the ability to communicate with dark matter. They call this telepathy, but it is actually dark matter communication. When we pilgrim researchers encounter difficult difficulties, they often gather several people together and communicate with dark matter. Connect everyone's brains and meditate. This method is equivalent to using our brains to form a super brain, and then process problems together, so that the speed of thinking is increased many times, and it is more efficient than thinking separately."

"Our spirit net network was born here, right?"

"Yes." The pilgrim leader said: "Later the creators’ researchers discovered us The researchers of the researchers will engage in this kind of concentrated thinking behavior, so this inspired their thinking. They were thinking at the time, since your Dragon Clan brain is similar to ours, it must be able to perform this kind of what they call Telepathy, and then, because your brain runs very fast, even beyond our speed, if the brains of several Dragon Clan members are connected together, wouldn’t it become a supercomputer? Such a computer It can be used to control the battleship, and because of your Dragon Clan’s own battle strength and survivability, the survivability of the spaceship main computer composed of you will be more powerful. In this way, as long as you do not die, even if the spaceship is destroyed after the battle, just replace it. A spaceship, your combat experience can still be preserved. Over time, the creators’ battleships will all become elites on the battlefield, just like playing a game upgrade. The more battles you participate in, the richer your combat experience will be. you The conditions are much higher than the survival rate of the main computer. This project was later defined as an elite battleship plan, but we all thought that the creators did not start this plan, and did not expect a finished product! "
