fleet citizen

The second time I took Yuan Yu's curvature spaceship, Mint seemed much more relaxed.Of course, it is also possible that I had to sit on the sofa because my back was so sore and my legs ached after doing some exercises last night, and I had no time to make any comments on the acceleration of the spacecraft and the conversion between conventional drive and curvature drive.

However, recalling the last trip from Zhuyu to Qiandao, Mint found some problems: "Zhuyu is [-] light-years away from Qiandao, why did we get there so soon? Isn't the curvature drive only dozens of times the speed of light now?"

"That's right, the upper limit of the driving curvature of 'Crow' is about [-] times the speed of light in a flat space. It takes seven months and six days to travel from Zhuyu to Qiandao at this speed." Yuan Yu explained, "However, since our route is actually from Zhuyu to the entrance of a permanent wormhole near Zhuyu, and then exits from the entrance of the wormhole near Qiandao, it only took four hours."

"Wormhole? Was the wormhole also made by the fleet?" Mint asked curiously.

"You can also say that, but wormholes are not a technology invented by humans." Yuan Yu explained, "Wormholes were invented by the Is civilization before building a fleet with humans. Is is a very good at space technology." race, before the establishment of the fleet, they have been using wormholes in conjunction with the original Newton’s third law to drive interstellar travel. After the establishment of the fleet, we have used wormhole technology to place around almost all star systems known to have intelligent races It opened the mouth of the wormhole orbiting the central celestial body, and transited in the unified transit star field."

"There must be a lot of wormholes in the transit star field." Mint guessed, "Will this not lead to a fork in the road?"

"To tell you the truth, I've wandered off before, but that happened before the third generation." Yuan Yu smiled, "Generally speaking, as long as the navigation system is installed, you won't go astray if you don't make a mistake." She looked Glancing at the Milky Way star map displayed on the control panel, "Look, we have reached the transit star field."

Mint leaned over to take a look, but saw that there were no celestial bodies in the area displayed on the control panel, only densely packed arrows marked points that did not show anything at all, and they were named wormholes leading to certain star systems.There must be hundreds of these wormholes.

"Why are there so many?" Mint asked in surprise, "Aren't there only seventeen star systems that colonize planets?"

"There are seventeen for humans, thirteen for Geer, one for IS 130, and one for other races, as well as the locations where the fleet gathers resources and builds factories, adding up to a total of 320." Yuan Yu said, "In addition , there are also twenty wormholes leading to the second-level transit star field, from where they can lead to the space stations of the fleet and those valuable planets newly discovered by interstellar explorers. Those planets will not all be developed, most of them It’s just a place for tourism, and there are still some that need to be protected or used for scientific research experiments.”

"My God, there are so many planets..." Mint couldn't help but marvel, "Yuan Yu, have you been to all of them?"

"No, didn't I say that I haven't been to a few colonized planets in this life, and even less." Yuan Yu shrugged and said, "In fact, I have been reborn less than ten years ago. Years, you can understand that I am less than ten years old in this life."

"Cut, but you are actually one or two hundred years old, right?" Mint was not impressed by her "pretending to be young", "In all your previous lives, how many planets have you been to?"

Yuan Yu frowned and thought about it, and finally said: "How can I remember this?"

"Don't you even remember which planets you have been to?" Mint was a little dissatisfied, thinking that she was just fooling him.

"It's normal not to remember." Yuan Yu explained, "You know, human consciousness is like a program, and memory is data. When people recall, they use a part of the program to retrieve data, so only that memory Only the owner can call up that memory. And when the way of calling out the memory in the consciousness changes, such as the disappearance or reconstruction of a part of a memory that could have been called up, the memory can no longer be called up, which also manifests as human Forget things. Memories that have not been recalled for a long time will also be overwritten by new memory data."

"When the consciousness of the citizens of the fleet flows into the general brain, the memory data also flows in, so in the committee, people can use their own memories, and use their own memories and other massive data in the general brain to analyze anything. In During this period, the personal memory data will also continue to increase and communicate with other public data in the general brain." Yuan Yu continued, "But once the consciousness wants to flow out of the general brain, it is impossible for all the personal memory data to be lost. Copy to the new human brain, because the human brain has a limited memory capacity. When the memory pouring into the new brain fills up the capacity, the newly written memory will overwrite the previously written memory, which leads to forgetting .And after the individual's consciousness flows out of the general brain, the memory data of the person originally stored in the general brain will also be unable to be recalled, and will eventually be cleared during the general brain cycle self-test."

"Because some memories are important and some are irrelevant, when you are reborn, you often have to choose which memories to bring into the next life." Yuan Yu said again, "The specific operation is actually very simple-to be honest, it feels a bit It's too simple - when the consciousness flows into the new brain but has not yet been disconnected from the main brain, recall the things you think are important, and establish a deeper "program" for calling memory, so that these important things Memories aren't overwritten by other things. Then when you're disconnected from the brain, you'll have these important memories, and a few other insignificant things that get written in by accident."

"Then do you think it doesn't matter what planet you've been to?" Mint was a little surprised.If it was him, let alone planets, he would know exactly how many cities he has been to.It may be because he has never been to any place, but he has a deeper memory of going to a new environment.

"It's relatively not that important." Yuan Yu said indifferently, "I used to work on celestial body development and evaluation for a period of time. During that time, I might go to a new star system every month. Those gray planets, I'm almost sick of seeing it. But I still have a good impression of some human beings and Geer's colony planets."

Human and Geer?Mint asked: "What about Yisi?"

"Is, to be honest, Is's colonized planets are not really 'colonized' planets. There is almost nothing on those things except their farms." Yuan Yu pouted and said, "Last time That bastard Asrina tricked me into visiting her birthplace, only to find there wasn't even an atmosphere there. I walked out of the hatch in my space suit and forgot to bring the heating module, and I nearly froze to death."
