Voyage of the Stars

The use of negative energy makes the range of the fifth-level civilization become very large. Under normal circumstances, its full-fuel range is more than ten times higher than that of the fourth-level civilization. It can be said to be a qualitative leap. Of course, it also depends on the weight load and fuel of the ship. capacity ratio.

Although humans and the Daya civilization came all the way before without replenishing fuel, they did not consume much. As far as the current situation of humans is concerned, it is not a problem to travel another two to three thousand light years.

Human beings don’t know how long the Daya civilization can continue to run.

Now the two civilizations are about 7 light years apart, running wildly in parallel.

The two sides sailed in silence like this, and there was no communication for a long time. However, this silence did not last long, because Daya Civilization soon sent another message.

"Red Flame Civilization, come closer!"

"What are you going to do?" Human beings immediately asked through the Red Flame Civilization detection spacecraft.

"It's now time. We don't need to be like this. With the current situation of our two civilizations, once the microscopic demon really catches up, none of us can escape, so it's best for us to communicate directly and discuss a countermeasure." Da Ya Wenming explained.

"You have to make it together, but it must not be smaller than 3 light years." The human replied, "Also, can you share your plan before taking action?"

The Daya civilization should also know something about the characteristics of microscopic demons. If they don't figure it out, there will be no room for explanation when they are put in front of them.

Da Ya Civilization did not waste any time and sent a message directly: "Although microscopic demons are powerful, their IQ is not high. They eat life more out of instinct. Previously, our main civilization fleet and the fifth-level civilization of Xinghai united. The main reason why the fleet had no way to escape was that the outbreak of microscopic demons was too sudden and they had no preparation.

But judging from our current situation, it is not unsolvable. Microscopic demons crave life, so we use life to lure them away. Of course, it is not real life. We can use a strong artificial intelligence fleet to disguise it, and when the microscopic demons catch up, we will They lead in another direction. "

The Daya civilization's proposal seemed feasible, but it sounded disingenuous to human ears.

First of all, if microscopic demons are so easy to seduce, wouldn't it be better for humans and Daya civilization to just run away separately. The second issue is the speed of the microscopic demon. Da Ya Wenming has never mentioned it, but only said that the microscopic demon may catch up.

You must know that when humans and the first fleet of the Daya civilization turned around and ran away, they were at least 15 light-years away from the microscopic demons. If such a long distance can be caught up by the microscopic demons in a short time, then no matter how tempting they are, it will be in vain.

This lure tactic is only effective if it takes a long time for the microscopic demon to catch up.

Humans immediately responded with three questions: "How fast are microscopic demons? Can they recognize strong artificial intelligence consciousness? Do they really only have the instinct to devour?"

"The specific speed is not known. The information about microscopic demons we obtained from the Immortal Community did not indicate their speed. Their parent body may be able to identify it, but even if it can be identified, strong artificial intelligence consciousness is a problem for them. Delicious dishes. The third question is that they may have some intelligence, but it is concentrated in the mother body. Don’t they have fermi fruiting bodies? How much do you know about microscopic demons?

At this point, the Daya civilization probably didn’t need to lie, so humans took the opportunity to find out more about the microscopic demons.

As expected of Da Ya Civilization, he has been in the community of immortals and knows quite a lot: "It is not a mother body in the normal sense. It is not a single microscopic demon that is a mother body, but a collective body. A single microscopic demon has no intelligence and only instinct, and even None of them can survive in the universe. Only when many microscopic demons form a group can they possess certain intelligence.

Let's put it this way, their mother body is equivalent to the brain of an entire microscopic demon population, and these microscopic demons rolling in are equivalent to its tentacles. Although they are all composed of the same microscopic demon individuals, they have different functions. . "

"According to the records of the Yingxian Community, the larger the number of microscopic demons in the group, the higher the intelligence, and the wider the range of their group. The reason why we have never mentioned the moving speed of microscopic demons is that we do not know the size of the microscopic demon population. "How fast the extended parts travel, if we are lucky enough to run outside their extension limit, we can escape."

When the humans heard this, they understood the meaning, but they still asked to confirm their thoughts: "You mean you know the group movement speed of the microscopic demons that make up the mastermind?"

"I know, the speed of light." Daya civilization explained very simply: "The way microscopic demons move in the starry sky is to first extend their extended populations as tentacles, forming a bridge like worms, and then they The group with the function of the main idea slowly wriggles past like an internal tumor. After the transfer of the main idea group is completed, the body is extended in the same way."

With the description of Daya civilization, humans have gradually gained a concept of microscopic demons.

A more vivid metaphor is that a microscopic demon is like a starry octopus. Each of its tentacles has its own instinct and the tentacles swing and strike very quickly, but the individual demons that make up its brain are not so fast. They can only move along their own path. The population moves at the speed of light, and its rapid strike range is determined by the size of this microscopic demon group.

The more groups there are, the more individuals that make up the demon's 'brain', the smarter the entire microscopic demon group appears, and the larger its attack range.

In this way, the overall image of this microscopic demon is much clearer.

It looks like a giant star beast with a slow brain and a body as fast as lightning. It is also a group of microscopic organisms. Each individual has its own instinct. Countless microscopic individuals with only instincts are stacked together in a certain way, and then a wonderful wisdom emerges.

So is this wisdom a kind of consciousness that imitates intelligent life? Is this the mechanism for the birth of wisdom in microscopic demons? Devouring intelligent life and self-consciousness?

After understanding the microscopic demons a little, human scientists have their own thoughts.

At the same time, humans also responded again: "So the strong artificial intelligence consciousness luring plan you mentioned is actually useless?"

Dayaya civilization: "Don't we have to try hard to survive in desperate situations? What if we are just a little bit away from running out of the extended range of the microscopic demon?"

It does make sense. Maybe it is because of this move that the extended part of the microscopic demon that came through the space turned a corner, and then just because of this turning time, the human and Daya civilization fleet ran out of the range!

Humans know that the probability of this happening is very small, but what if? As Daya civilization said, there is no other good way now, so we can only give it a try.
