The huge modular/Star City fully accepts any customization. In the next 10 years, the areas divided by the 椘 have become the appearance of a civilized federal city. When seeing the moment when the city changes, Yan Xia is more certain that they are in a battleship. Modular cities have so many possibilities, so the/Star City has so many individuals, it can't be so monotonous, but a hundred flowers bloom, and each area has customized and personalized things. But there are only cold metal square pillars here. This kind of discipline can only appear in a civilization under the absolute control of the ruler. Yan Xia began to gradually go out and contact these lives in the 11th year. He has basically mastered the language of this civilization, which is a language type similar to computer C++. To put it bluntly, it is actually a calculated quantum signal, and they use these quantum signals to communicate. They can also change into human appearance like 椘 and make real sounds. After all, they can be combined into anything. Through communication, Yan Xia discovered another thing. When he repeatedly asked the two Olive Branch civilization lives the same question, they would give almost the same answer. Some of these questions tend to be expansive. If any life form in the Civilization Federation were to answer them, there would definitely be 10,000 Hamlets in 10,000 people. However, the answers of the Olive Branch Civilization life forms were surprisingly consistent, as if these questions had become a formula of 1+1=2 for them.
Their answers made Yan Xia feel that he was facing one life form, not multiple ones. Cluster consciousness. Yan Xia thought of this long-standing speculation. Strictly speaking, he himself denied the existence of cluster consciousness thousands of years ago, because it was too detrimental to the development of civilization, unless the mother of this cluster was really extremely powerful, just like Ella, who could use technology to grow. For low-level civilizations, this efficiency is too low and cannot provide enough individual intelligence. And for high-level civilizations, it is extremely difficult. It is simply a fantasy to let all individuals in a high-level civilization abandon their own thoughts and follow the only one. Yan Xia does not know what the development process of the Olive Branch Civilization is, but they have a tendency to cluster consciousness. His previous inference was obviously overturned, which is normal. The essence of science and technology is to constantly overturn old theories and then make a new theory the protagonist of a certain era. Repeat this operation until it approaches the truth, but like absolute zero and the speed of light, science and technology may never be able to explore the existence of truth. After returning to the assigned area, Yan Xia quickly went to Ella to talk about his views. Ella is also constantly exploring the Olive Branch Civilization through other means. "Yan Xia, you think that the lives of the Olive Branch Civilization are all terminals. I think it is right and wrong." "According to my observation, the lives of the Olive Branch Civilization have emotional expressions." "Although they may say the same thing, the information conveyed by each of them is actually slightly different. These differences are the embodiment of individual emotions." "Emotions give individual lives different understanding abilities. If these differences are excluded and not deliberately done by the other party, then I think the Olive Branch Civilization is a pseudo-shared consciousness cluster civilization." It is not a cluster consciousness, but a shared consciousness cluster. There is an essential difference between the two. Cluster consciousness is like a queen bee and a worker bee. After the worker bee becomes an adult, it will continue to follow the instructions of the queen bee and serve the queen bee. The meaning of a shared consciousness cluster is that the civilization still has individuals, and all the consciousness of these individuals are integrated with each other to form a huge complex.
One is fundamental control, and the other is that it has consciousness itself, but it is merged with other consciousnesses. "Why is it called pseudo?" Yan Xia asked. Ella explained: "If it is a real shared consciousness cluster, then there should not be a controller who is superior to this huge shared consciousness cluster, and all individuals should be equal." "And the Olive Branch civilization does have such a controller, which means that they need to follow another class system in addition to the shared cluster consciousness." This is indeed a strange point. Unless he is just a representative of this shared consciousness cluster, but this possibility is very small, because after these years of contact, the class concept of the Olive Branch civilization is too profound, and it has even reached the level of militarization. "There is another point, Yan Xia, do you feel it?" Ella's expression is more solemn. "What?" Yan Xia has been thinking about the previous thing, and doesn't know what Ella is talking about. "The changes in the starry sky." Yan Xia raised his head and looked at the starry sky, but he didn't notice anything. After all, he was a life, not a camera, and he didn't observe the starry sky often. "Based on my observations over the past 11 years, I found that the trajectory of the starry sky's changes is too strange." "Its moving direction and speed are different from the original calculations." "In fact, to be more precise, our galaxy has not moved at all. This movement is relative to the center of the Milky Way." All celestial bodies in the Milky Way revolve around the center of the Milky Way at a speed of more than 200km/s. They are all directly or indirectly pulled by the gravity of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* in the center of the Milky Way, and with the help of dark matter, the small Sagittarius A* with only more than 4 million solar masses can pry the entire Milky Way celestial body through other black holes and high-density stars in the center of the Milky Way. This should be without exception, but in Ella's observation, this accident occurred in the star system they were in at this time. Yan Xia thought about it carefully and thought of the reason. "/The star city is too large. If it is calculated, because there is space inside the star city, according to the general building density, it should be per cubic millimeter." "Calculated in this way, it should be about 35 trillion trillion density?" Yan Xia carefully calculated several times and found that it was really that heavy, but this is a bit too scary. You know, the sun is only 200 trillion trillion density. The weight of a star city is 175 times that of the sun? How to keep such a heavy object from collapsing into a black hole? Ella corrected Yan Xia. "According to my actual calculations, although the entire Star City is very large, there is actually a node hole every 12 astronomical units. Its single-sided surface area is actually only 320 trillion square kilometers if calculated carefully. Moreover, through the hole, we can see that the interior of the Star City is actually empty. The overall density is only a thousandth, and the average thickness is 2150 kilometers." "In fact, it is many times lighter than it appears on the outside, and it is only about solar masses." That's right. "A behemoth of such a weight should be able to directly affect a star." Yan Xia said. The implication is that the mass of the Star City is enough to form a binary star system with the star city of the star system where it is located. The Olive Branch Civilization uses the mass of the Star City and some technology to control the star, so that it can stabilize in space without revolving.
Even though he had already thought of this result in his mind, Yan Xia still took a breath when he thought about it again. "Level 2 civilization can use all the resources in a star system. The amount of energy used by Level is 10,000 times that of Level . Is it enough to control everything in the star system and the star itself?" It is impossible to imagine it just by imagining it. Only by really touching it and really seeing it can we know the terrible gap between civilizations. But it is precisely because of this that Yan Xia wants to win big with a small investment. Otherwise, when the Olive Branch civilization is "unhappy", how will the Civilization Federation deal with it? Attack is the best defense. Even if it is an ant, it has to bite the elephant to make the elephant feel pain and be forced not to fall down and collapse the ant nest.
