Chapter 592 - 593 The Rebirth of the Next Generation
"Why do you still learn this useless industrial knowledge? Go out and find a job. These things can't help you make money. You are not a maintenance worker now. You should think about it for your family.
"Industrial knowledge is useful. Once we arrive at a new stellar system, industrial knowledge will become the core around us, and it will help us build a new home."
Another voice explained without confidence, but it was in exchange for the sneer and disappointment of the opposite side.
"Oh, how many generations later will it be? Industrial knowledge is useful, but not this generation! Do you understand?"
"Be sober. The iron rice bowl work has been replaced by robots, and there will be nothing for you maintenance workers when you arrive at the destination, because robots do better and have a lower cost than you."
"You should put down these useless things now and think about how to make money."
"Even if you don't think about me, won't you think about the child? Do you have the heart to make her hungry? Do you have a father like this?"
Then the information of the third party appeared, which seemed to be a very young life.
"Mom, don't bully Dad, woo-woo..."
"See? The children are thinking about you! Do you want to be selfish like this?"
Then, the information record was silent for a long time, and then there was a sigh of deep helplessness.
"Alas..."
The collector browsed the information record that had been played, and when he saw that it was finished, he asked the robot for it.
"Is there any follow-up?"
"Information...only these...stellar...released...electromagnetic pulses...have strong...destructive...in...in...many data bodies...internal information storage... have been destroyed."
The rolling metal sphere answers the collector's questions while the signal light flashes.
The collector is not surprised by the incompleteness of the information record, because the electromagnetic pulse of the star is so horrible. As long as it can tamper on the star and create a radio silent area centered on the star and radiating three astronomical units outward, the collectors can do it.
However, on second thought, the collector felt that something was wrong.
If the original Odega are all dead, how did the two passengers who followed the cosmic ark come from?
According to the collector's idea, there should be survivors in the original Odega.
"What happened to the original Odega in the cosmic ark where all electronic devices failed?" The collector asked.
The robot mechanical reply, "The first generation... only 600 years... all dead... none of them survived... the machine was damaged... unable to produce... survival materials... they... became beasts... fought each other... and went to destruction."
The robot made it clear that the original Odega civilization was completely destroyed and no one survived.
But it is strange that if no one survives, how did the latter two civilizations continue and how were they born? Are the last two civilizations just outsiders who took the cosmic ark halfway?
The collector asked, "I remember you said that this spaceship has carried three civilizations. In addition to you and the first generation Odega, how did one come from? The original Odega should have survived, right?
"The first generation... was completely destroyed... none of them survived... to confirm the facts." The robot continued to answer with mechanical electronic sound, "The next generation was born... on the... legacy of the first generation."
"Remaining debris?" The collector asked.
Robots began to tell that after the complete destruction of the original Odega civilization, another new civilization built on the remains of their civilization, called the second generation of Odega civilization.
The super electromagnetic pulse from the star destroyed all the electronic devices on the cosmic ark.
Ninety-nine percent of their chips were burned.However, there is still a little residue. The original information seen by the previous collector is part of the 99 percent.
In this 99% of the remnant, part of the cosmic ark master-controlled computer has been retained, which is the fire of the next generation of Odega civilization.
The cosmic ark lost its engine control and drifted in space for 80 years. By chance, it drifted to the near orbit of a gaseous giant in the star system and was captured by the gravity of the gas giant star and rotated steadily.
This is the beginning of all recovery.
The gas giant itself has a stable and powerful magnetic field, which can avoid the release of periodic electromagnetic pulses of the star. When the self-maintenance process in the program is completed and the engine control system inside the cosmic ark is repaired, the cosmic ark relies on the gas giant as a shield and finally has the capacity to repair its other parts.
It took about 153 years to repair the engine control system.
It's not true. The technical level of the Odega people is so backward, but the main control computer is already incomplete. The body running the self-maintenance program itself is incomplete, and it can't assign tasks well at all to indicate to the self-maintenance program which part of the universe ark to prioritize.
Therefore, every time the self-maintenance program is repaired, it will be destroyed after the next round of electromagnetic pulse. The repair of the engine control system will only be completed under unknown how many 'lot draws'.
When the spacecraft hides on the back of the gas giant and remains in a straight line with the gas giants and stars, the self-maintenance program begins to repair more damaged parts of the cosmic Ark, together with other robots.
In the 2303 after the demise of the Odega, the cosmic ark miraculously revived.
Unfortunately, it has no crew, only a bunch of robots that need to serve the object.
In this way, time passed, and Baiju passed through the gap. Almost a thousand years later, something happened to the main control computer of the cosmic ark.
The situation comes from quantum tunneling. Although the cosmic ark can basically survive longer because of the self-maintenance program, some parts cannot be replaced, that is, the program of the main computer itself.
The main control computer can replace the hardware by itself, thinking that it is a split-in parallel system with multiple host hardware, which allows the maintenance robot to stagger the time for hardware replacement.
However, the internal program of the main control computer is not good. The main control computer can't program itself, and no one in Odega has given it such ability at all.
Therefore, the logical bugs inside the program continue to accumulate, increasing the running load of the main computer itself.
In the end, the main computer crashed, constantly repeating meaningless information.
The self-maintenance program began to reinstall the system, and the main computer returned to normal, but this could not solve the fundamental problem. After the next thousand years, the main computer will continue to crash...
One cycle after another, 50,000 years have passed, 50 system reinstallation, and even failed to backup the main control data module.
That is to say, this 50th time will be the last time.
A certain program of the Odega people programming the master computer began to play a role, that is, the crisis solution.
It was written by the Odega who had not yet left the planet. If all the repair methods for the internal program of the cosmic ark are declared invalid, the master computer will have the right to customize a master control data to replace it.
This is mainly because none of the Odega who arrive at the Newstellar System in the future will program and specially designed programs.
I have to say that the senior officials of the Odega civilization at that time were very predictable. Although the speculation was not accurate enough, they also vaguely predicted the entertainment of their descendants until death.
When the program of custom master control data is run, the master computer will not become, but it can take out the data template from the database and splice it according to the splicing of each program template, thus creating a new master control program. historical
As a result, the upgrade of the main control program is completed. Although the upgrade is not large, it is a leap from '0' to '1'. With this, the main control computer began to continuously upgrade its own program.
Under such a bottomless self-upgrade, 80,000 years of time has passed, and the main control computer has finally equipped with 'intelligence'. It can actively obtain information from the outside world like ordinary organisms, and at the same time have a higher degree of logical thinking to deal with more complex problems.
It was born in the Odega civilization, so it also considers itself Odega.
It called the original Odega civilization 'Odega civilization α', and it was the successor and called itself 'Odega civilization β'.
