Chapter 596: Chapter 385: Perfect Logical Deduction and Dying Early_2
Clone and copy-paste consciousness and continuously cultivate gu worms to screen for new personality hosts.
At present, humans cannot achieve consciousness transfer because the quantum storms in the human brain are too complex, but it does not mean that the Compound-Eyed Observers cannot do it.
Perhaps the Observer’s thoughts are relatively simple?
Besides, Harrison Clark said it was “potentially immortal” rather than definitely immortal.
That’s because cloning and copy-pasting consciousness may also have limitations in the number of times it can be done.
When the number of times exceeds a certain threshold, even if the body is still alive, the thought may tend towards collapse and gradually twist into another personality.
Or the consciousness would directly collapse, leading to a physiological living but psychologically dead state.
For example, are the current million Compound-Eyed Observers the same individuals as the million Compound-Eyed Observers a million years ago?
Harrison Clark doesn’t know, and the Observers themselves might not know either.
That belongs to the ethics of the universe, which cannot be experienced unless humans can master perfect thought transfer.
Also, another crucial piece of information obtained by Harrison Clark, the Spherical Battleship’s patrol ship positioning in the Compound Eye Civilization, also came from the difference between one million and 999,996.
This answer is now irrefutable.
After the Observers occupied the Milky Way Galaxy, they likely gathered in a certain star system near the Galactic Center, divided the Milky Way into four fan-shaped regions, and had four patrol ships conduct inspections at a frequency of one-way trips every thousand years and round trips every two thousand years.
It seems that every time the patrol ship returns, they would change a group of people.
Humanity’s luck is both good and bad, as the Spherical Battleship responsible for patrolling this area needs to fly for 500 years to reach the Solar System, leaving humans with at least 500 years of development time.
Of course, these 500 years might also be deliberately left by the Observers.
Since the Observers can absorb the technology of the Egyptian tribe, they can surely absorb human technology as well.
In a sense, the Solar Barrier is an essential means for the Observers to safely allow lower civilizations to develop within a cage and annihilate and erase traces of them entirely at the appropriate time.
As for why the two large colonies couldn’t find advanced civilization relics within the Orion Arm and only encountered lower civilizations?
It could be bad luck or the Observers’ work being too clean.
Assuming there is a benevolent order in the universe, then the Observers would need to clean the battlefield meticulously when eliminating advanced civilizations, while it doesn’t matter when eliminating lower civilizations.
It is like murderers who need to destroy corpses and erase traces. When walking on the road and stepping on an ant, they naturally leave the body alone.
In this timeline, the new enemy – the Edge Ship Fleet, came from the star systems near the Galactic Center to attack Earth apart from the Spherical Battleship.
The speed of Angular Warships is slightly faster than that of Spherical Warships, and although they may be farther away, they would arrive in the Solar System in less than twenty hours.
Why are the patrol Spherical Battleships larger than the war machines Angular Warships?
To understand from a human perspective, consider this.
What would it feel like for an immortal person to execute a task that takes two thousand years round trip?
Even if they have a faster-than-light quantum network to stay in contact with their group, they cannot avoid feeling empty, lonely, and cold.
When technology has advanced enough and energy is almost inexhaustible, shouldn’t they provide the “brave” who carries out the patrol mission with the highest material treatment?
Of course, they should.
Building a massive patrol ship, increasing its activity space, providing it with the best entertainment and living conditions, and enhancing its interest in carrying out tasks become one of the basic guarantees.
In addition, they must also ensure the means to sustain life, which is cloning and copying.
The “patrolman” who died at Harrison Clark’s hands must have a particular fondness for the number 55.
The conjectures and conclusive arguments mentioned above are the standard answers obtained by Harrison Clark and other Solar System scholars after integrating their knowledge from the two colonies.
Harrison Clark believes that his conjecture is already close to the truth and is consistent with his previous guesses and intelligence details.
The situation has not improved, and the demise is destined. However, Harrison Clark does not feel sad but rather somewhat proud.
Compared to other civilizations that were exterminated in the Orion Arm and even the once mighty Egyptian tribe, he has done well enough.
Since the Compound Eye Civilization invaded the Milky Way Galaxy, God knows how many battles they fought, big and small, but they had never lost a single individual.
According to the analysis of the Egyptian tribe’s escape vessel by scientists in Proxima Centauri, the Egyptian tribe’s technology level at the time of extermination was similar to the current Solar System, even slightly better in material science.
But the result was that the Egyptians were utterly defeated and even absorbed by the enemy during the war.
Now humans are facing an even more formidable enemy entrenched in the Milky Way for a million years, absorbing and transforming all Egyptian tribe technologies and sucking blood from many lower civilizations.
But humans, who had risen from insignificance, after experiencing only seven destructions and seven thousand years of technological acceleration, went from once being humble and insignificant 0.7-level civilization to today, successfully killing a Compound-Eyed Observer.
Harrison Clark did not feel particularly proud before, but now he can feel slightly more gratified.
Besides, he has gained new insights into the hierarchy of civilization.
