Resurrection Empire

In the first level of false history on the Source Star, the Source Star was the birthplace of mankind. After hundreds of millions of years of ecological and environmental evolution, humans evolved from mammals. This piece of pseudo-history is written in an evocative way. The core focus lies in the history of the painful struggle between humans and beasts in ancient times, and the "great" nine major groups in the past thousand years that have integrated human civilization, changed the direction of the times, and then interacted with aliens. The history of progress in cultural relations.

The extraterrestrial civilization depicted in this layer of false history appears shrouded in fog, very mysterious, and has the aura of a powerful alien race subtly attached to it. It is this first level of false history that has been indoctrinated into most of the desolate people and lower-class citizens on the Source Star.

The second level of false history is exactly the "Ten Thousand Years of History" that Ma Xiaoling conquered in the game and got back. In the records of "Ten Thousand Years of History", the origin and time direction of human civilization suddenly changed. "A History of Ten Thousand Years" has been widely circulated among middle and high-level citizens, and coupled with a large number of forged so-called "relics", it has supported a wonderful historical view that is obviously as fragile as a bubble, but is generally recognized. One of the typical representatives of these forged relics is the mural that Ren Zhong once saw in the underground city of the Huangren tribe in Qishan.

According to the records of "Ten Thousand Years of History", the source of the Origin Star civilization was the escape ship named Pioneer. Ten thousand years ago, the escape ship brought civilization to Source Star and changed the ecological structure of Source Star. According to records, the home planet civilization of the Source Star humans was at a disadvantage in the interstellar war with foreign enemies. In order to prevent the entire civilization from losing its inheritance after the disastrous defeat, escape ships were dispatched. A small number of adults on the escape ship arrived at the Source Star with a large number of frozen embryos, where they took root and began to reproduce and develop rapidly.

In the process, the escape ship lost some technology and developed technological gaps. At the same time, it also had to face the "indigenous" threat of the Ruin Beast.

In order to prevent the longing for the mother civilization from causing uncontrollable variables, the elders composed of adults on the escape ship at that time decided to create the first level of false history, tampering with the origin of mankind into the Source Star, in order to improve the destination of the people at the bottom feel.

This layer of false history with a time span of 10,000 years is filled with epic stories. In these epic stories, one remarkable ancient person after another left his name in history. Ren Zhong also has to admire the literary workers who compiled the pseudo-history for thousands of years. The pseudo-history weaved is detailed, logical, grand, spectacular and all-encompassing. If the carbon-14 half-life of the ruins hadn't been revealed, this pseudo-history would have been basically invincible.

Of course, as a true human being of the 21st century, and one who is familiar with the true history of humankind on Earth, I can tell something is wrong at a glance and feel it is extremely inconsistent. To give the simplest example, during the period of the First Continent and the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony described in the pseudo-history of Ten Thousand Years, the martial saint Guan Yu actually absorbed the genes of the Ruin beast and turned his arm armor into a Qinglong sword, and killed Hua Xiong with warm wine.

Ren Zhong laughed when he saw this serious "history book". This alone is enough to prove the origin of "Ten Thousand Years of History". It is nothing more than a team of copywriters with strict enough logic to digest and absorb the real history of the earth, as well as a large number of historical literary and artistic works on the earth, and then transform them and carry out strict logical connections, and finally produce a film that is enough to deceive everyone. People's "Complete of Lies". Now, when Ren Zhong was asked to scrutinize the author of "Ten Thousand Years of History", he actually knew who it was without asking, and it was "Net".

The timeline of pseudo-history continues to move forward. Thousands of years ago, nine today's frozen elders turned out to promote technological development in an all-round way and successfully reconnected with the civilization of their home star. They also confirmed that the mother civilization had turned defeat into victory and could return. , and then formulated a huge return home plan, preparing to return to the mother civilization, that is, the empire, and gradually implemented it.

Of course this is still a scam.

Only the third level of history may be closer to the “truth.”

In this layer of history, the truth has been reversed again, and Source Star has become the birthplace of mankind again, but this birthplace has been abandoned in ancient times.

The historical allusions used in "Ten Thousand Years of Pseudo History" are exactly the "real" evolutionary history of the Origin Star humans in the previous generation.

The time when the real "Origin Star Civilization" was born and disappeared in the long history was earlier before the birth of the empire.

The meaning of "source" does not exist purely to disguise the first level of false history.

But Ren Zhong is still confused about this.

When it comes to the origin of human civilization, he certainly has the most say. In a sense, he even dares to say that he is part of the origin.

When he saw this concept, Ren Zhong was so disappointed that he wanted to roll his eyes, but he still had the patience to continue reading.

In short, after entering the space age, the "human ancestors" decisively abandoned the Source Star, a parent star that was too remote in the entire galaxy, and entered a more prosperous star area, and evolved over the next tens of millions of years. , each moved towards different evolutionary directions and split into four routes.

The full name of the empire is the Mechanical Empire. It is one of the evolutionary directions. It focuses on the development of foreign objects and follows the technology application stream. In the words of science fiction fans, it can be called the "Industrial Party". The strength of the Mechanical Empire lies in the industrial fields such as machinery manufacturing, ship development, and energy development.

The precise names of the other three forces are the Ascendants, the Pilgrims, and the Psychic Demons.

Sublimators focus on transforming the human body itself, and their strength lies in biotechnology. In a sense, the Ascendant citizens are a higher form of colonial warriors.

As for the pilgrims, it sounds very religious, but in fact, what the pilgrims worship is science. Pilgrims place more emphasis on digitizing human consciousness, and their main research areas are human-machine integration and virtual worlds. As a proverb once said, the most powerful hacker is one who allows himself to become a program. Pilgrim was also the inventor of the "Net" system. What the Mechanical Empire obtained and handed over to Source Star was a weakened version of "Net" derived from Pilgrim's technology. In a sense, the real net has the same consciousness and emotional expression as humans, and is the complete form of Sun Ai who has disappeared.

As for the psychic demons, people of this race have mastered a special mining area that can amplify and materialize people's brain waves to form telekinesis. The psychic demons hardly advance science and technology, and they possess the simplest ships, but they are extremely terrifying. The professions of telekinesis and information flow shielding master on the Source Star are sprouting from the empire's research on psychic demons. The mutated Li Yang also fits the characteristics of a psychic demon to some extent.

The above information slightly exceeded Ren Zhong's expectations, but it was basically consistent with what he learned from Ma Xiacheng.

The humans in the Mechanical Empire are a higher-level race than the humans on the Source Star, and their sphere of control happens to radiate to the border planet of the Source Star. However, the previous empire did not pay much attention to the resources of this mere planet. .

In the distant and prosperous star sector, humans of the four routes have been fighting each other all year round, competing for resources, and all want to gain the dominance of civilization.

Until more than a thousand years ago, the Machinery Empire lost a key battle, fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, and began to retreat steadily.

The mechanical empire, which was almost at the end of its rope, began to fully utilize all resources within its territory in an effort to give it a try.

The original source star, which was almost forgotten, also entered the empire's sight.

Even if it is just a planet that has been developed once and has few remaining resources, a mosquito's legs are still meat no matter how small they are.

The empire still sent a small-scale spaceship to Source Star.

The real name of this spacecraft is not Pioneer, but Tracker 154332. It is just one of hundreds of thousands of small colonial development ships.

Tracker No. 154332 is the white ball.

Exactly a thousand years ago, the Tracer, with a total crew of nine people, arrived at the Source Star.

At this time, the ecological environment on the Source Star is roughly equivalent to the Earth's Early Era, except that most of the plants are blue.

The tracers also brought a large number of frozen embryos.

After that, nine staff members took root and fell leaves on the Origin Star, and consumed a large amount of Bai Qiu's own resources, completing the following actions in the next more than three hundred years.

At the same time, one billion frozen embryos will be hatched and a large number of cities will be built. The people grown from one billion embryos will then be kept in a frozen state and accurately placed in different cities.

Afterwards, the Tracer separated a module inside, drilled into the core of the Source Star, and began to release interference to the outside world to give birth to the Ruin Beast.

Yes, there are no ruin beasts on the Source Star.

The Ruin Beast itself is the latest cutting-edge experimental technology that the Machinery Empire has figured out after absorbing the cutting-edge technologies of the Ascendants, Pilgrims, and Psychic Demons obtained in the war.

After completing preliminary preparations, nine staff members pressed the start button at the same time.

The "Net" began to operate at full power, and at the same time wrote already compiled memories to a billion people who were in a state of cryogenic slumber and whose minds were completely blank, instilling the first and second layers of false history and each person's different personality. .

At six o'clock that morning, everyone opened their eyes almost at the same time.

Some people are engineers when they wake up, some are barren when they wake up, some are professionals when they wake up, and some are core employees of the nine major groups when they wake up, and are about to go to the headquarters to report to the chairman of the board. There are people who wake up as the playthings of nine staff members, and there are people...

The fate of everyone and the families that might be born had been decided at that moment.

At the same time, a certain number of mid- to low-level ruin beasts that had been hoarded in advance also began to move from a static state, devouring, evolving, and then being captured and controlled.

The wheel of history begins to turn.

The originally frozen historical line on the Source Star began to move forward along a dotted line and emerged as a solid line.

That year was the first year of the New Origin Calendar.

The nine frozen elders interacted with their chosen "playthings", and each left a line of descendants. They also retrieved a more complete history of weaving lies from the "net", and handed over the plan to control the evolution of society to the "life." And Zhizhi's close subordinates and direct descendants, and then they hurriedly entered cryogenic slumber again in fear of their lives.

The evolution of the next few hundred years is exactly what Ren Zhong has seen in modern history.

Modern history is all true, but it is a pity that it is all based on false foundations.

The so-called majestic 10,000-year history composed of refugees from 10,000 years ago is actually a thousand-year production base.

There are some things here that Ren Zhongzhong has already guessed. For example, he has long speculated from the green plants in Yuanjing City that the top of the power pyramid of Yuanxing must come from somewhere else. He also knows that the most suitable plant color for humans is green.

The dual breeding theory that Ren Zhong came up with before was basically correct, but Ren Zhong didn't know the purpose of the beast before.

Now he understands.

For a mechanical life like the Ruins Beast, the so-called ninth level is still just a bud. The ninth-level ruin beast is still just a young body. The ninth-level ruin beast will continue to grow after returning to the empire's territory and being sent into a star area full of alien energy. The mature form of the Ruin Beast has another name - the giant biomechanical starship.

According to the descriptions of some old popsicles, the most powerful mechanical starships can not only swallow planets, but can even suck stars to recharge their energy.

In addition, Ren Zhong has already known the concepts of human brain, contribution points, and universe hash value, but now he has only further improved them.

"Net" is not only the computing power center of Yuanxing, but also the communication center. It transmits the collected information to the empire all the time.

What the "net" transmits is not just information as simple as the amount of contribution points, but what Ma Xiacheng calls the hash value of the universe.

These hash values ​​are calculated by the brain computing power consumed by humans in the Source Star while they are sleeping.

What's even more amazing is that Ren Zhong discovered that even the nine old popsicles couldn't escape the pressure of brain computing power, and could only use cryonics to barely avoid it. As long as they woke up from freezing, they would be squeezed every moment.

When the "Net" hands over the hash value of the universe to the Empire, the Empire will also simultaneously issue contribution points to the Source Star as the currency of interstellar trade.

This, together with other commodities such as human brains, is the association's main source of funds for interstellar trade.

Ren Zhong believes that the scientists in the empire must know very clearly what value they are calculating, and maybe they are still dreaming that one day they will be able to complete the calculation and obtain the grand unified formula.

But Ren Zhong was very arrogant and believed that they could not succeed.

This is definitely a deeper scam.

According to the information provided by the ancestors of the Ma family, many, many years ago, including the Machinery Empire and the other three major forces, they had begun to use their own methods to calculate the hash value of the universe.

At the beginning, the calculation progress was very fast. After just tens of thousands of years, the calculation progress reached 90%.

But then, the formula became more and more complicated, and there were more and more decimal points after the hash value, which extended out every once in a while on average.

Over the next few hundred thousand years, the calculation progress barely reached 99%.

Then, millions of years passed, and the calculation progress reached 99.999%.

No one knows where the hashrate of the universe ends.

It is like a mirror that can be seen but cannot be touched, always tempting humans to get closer to it, but it is unpredictable.

Ren Zhong thought that he was making a fool of himself.

The basis for his bold judgment is so simple that it has never changed.

Because the origin of human beings is not the Source Star, but the Earth.

There must have been some changes that he didn't know about, which caused the cryostat containing him and other humans to stay away from the Milky Way and the Laniakea Super Galaxy Group and arrive at the Sloane Wall. This must be an external force!

Above human civilization, there must be higher-level managers and supervisors controlling everything secretly.

Including the empire and the other three forces, they are all just miserable high-level "broilers".
