After a while, Yu Tianba broke the silence.
"I asked Lao Jiu, and other researchers, and discussed in detail. We all feel that the quantum communication device proposed before is the only way to send information about individual human consciousness to your side. However, the biggest problem is that we have not yet mastered the method to allow ordinary people's individual consciousness to enter other bodies and to stably exist in other bodies."
Yang Yi nodded slightly without saying much.
In fact, this is the only problem. If this problem can be solved, Yang Yi has already asked Yu Family to start operations, and at least some members of Yu Family, such as Yu Linglong, will come to the Northern Alpha Galaxy. It was precisely because of the existence of this problem that an effective solution could not be found in a short period of time, so after the scientists of the Yu family proposed it, it was rejected. At least they did not think that this method could be used to save the human confederation.
"Because other methods are not feasible, even if the technical difficulty is lower, there is not much value, so we can only work in this direction. Simply put, we have taken action. No matter what happens in the future, the Human Federation is in South Africa. The future of the Alpha Galaxy is very bleak."
"action?"
Yu Tianba nodded slightly, and said: "There is only one problem, that is, letting the individual consciousness information exist stably in another body. As long as this problem is solved, we can use the current means of communication to let some people, at least The most critical part of people left the southern Alpha galaxy and reborn in the new home of the northern Alpha galaxy. Because there is no more ideal choice, we can only hope to master such technology someday in the future. However, we obviously cannot Wait until that day to start. Not to mention, it will only take enough time to process the individual consciousness, to completely informatize the individual consciousness, and to send the information of the individual consciousness to you. According to our preliminary estimation, we can now With the means of communication, it takes about half a minute to send the information that constitutes a complete individual consciousness, and this is the most optimistic estimate. After all, everyone’s individual consciousness is different, so the amount of information after conversion is also different. Even so, a Only one hundred and twenty individual consciousnesses can be sent in an hour, up to 2,880 in a day. Even if the communication equipment continues to operate and all are used to send individual consciousness, it will take about ten years to transfer all the personnel of our Yujia Although we do not expect to use this method to save everyone in the human confederation, starting from the preservation of human civilization, we have to transfer at least 100 million people, and it will take about a hundred years in total."
Before Yu Tianba finished speaking, Yang Yi was dumbfounded.
Prior to this, Yang Yi only knew that quantum communication equipment could be used to send the information that constitutes individual human consciousness, but he did not think about the efficiency of transmission.
The efficiency is so low that it will transfer the individual consciousness of at most one million people a year. What's the point
You know, the Human Federation has trillions of people, and it will take millions of years to transfer all of these people over. Even according to what Yu Tianba said, it would take a hundred years to transfer 100 million people. Undoubtedly, no one knows what will happen in a hundred years, and maybe in a hundred years, the Southern Alpha Galaxy has been destroyed, or Yang Yi and the others have already been defeated. Even if Yang Yi and the others are not defeated, after a hundred years, I am afraid that there is no need to save the human confederation in this way. By then, the human civilization of the northern Alpha galaxy has developed and grown, and whether it can accept humans from the southern alpha galaxy is still unknown Woolen cloth. Obviously, efficiency is a big issue.
"Actually, this is not the biggest problem." Yu Tianba did not stop, and continued, "Because the individual consciousness of human beings is extremely complex and the amount of information is huge, so it only deals with individual consciousness, that is, transforms individual consciousness into information. It is an extremely difficult job. With the technological power we have now, even with the most advanced optical brain, it takes about a month to process an individual's consciousness. Although we can use enough optical brains to process many individuals at the same time Awareness also takes enough time. It is also true that we cannot wait until the technology is mature before taking action. We must complete the necessary preparations in advance, including processing the individual consciousness of some people, and sending the information of these individual consciousness to You. In order to ensure that these individual consciousnesses can get a chance to be reborn someday in the future, we will provide the necessary technical support to help you manufacture storage equipment."
"First store it, wait until the technology matures, and then let these individual consciousness gain the body?"
Yu Tianba nodded and said, "This is the only way we can think of and can use at the moment. Although it is of little help to save the human federation, after all, we can't save everyone in a limited time. Your individual consciousness is informationized and sent to you, but this can at least save some people, and these people will certainly be able to play a major role in the construction of the new home."
Yang Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.
"Of course, our scientists also proposed some compromises." Yu Tianba paused for a while. "For example, we can concentrate resources to process individual consciousness, informationize more people's individual consciousness, and then store it, and send it to the northern Alpha galaxy through the traditional method, that is, load the equipment storing these individual consciousness into a certain spacecraft. , And then let the spacecraft fly to the northern Alpha galaxy at the speed of light. Although it will take ten thousand years for the spacecraft to reach the northern Alpha galaxy, and we obviously don’t know what will happen after ten thousand years, but there is at least that line. Hope, after all, the Galactic Alliance will definitely not be able to continue to exist for 10,000 years. In order to increase the probability of reaching the northern Alpha galaxy, we will send spacecraft that store individual consciousness in stages, and the individual consciousness information stored in the equipment carried by each spacecraft will not be too much. Many, but it has reached the minimum standard for rebuilding human civilization. No matter what it looks like after 10,000 years, as long as a spacecraft arrives and is discovered by humans at that time, and the new humans do not exclude compatriots from 10,000 years ago, then These people can get a chance to be reborn in the Northern Alpha Galaxy."
"Other than that, there is no other way?"
"Actually, this is also the least costly method." Yu Tianba sighed and said, "Because what is carried is only equipment for storing individual consciousness, these spacecrafts do not need to be piloted by humans and fly according to the set route. More importantly The thing is, after eliminating a series of equipment used to maintain the survival of the crew, such as the ecosystem, the spacecraft can be made small enough to greatly reduce manufacturing costs. According to our estimation, even if mass production, it will not produce other aspects. Influence. Don’t forget, we can’t leave the Southern Alpha galaxy right away, and we must face the ensuing full-scale civil war. In order to survive and to gain more time, we have to strengthen our military forces and be prepared to fight other civilizations. Preparation. In other words, the resources that can be used in other fields are extremely limited. If the end of the second era is used to build spacecraft that allow humans to flee, it will not only consume a lot of resources, but also require enough time. Obviously, it will still Attract the attention of other civilizations. Under the current situation, we obviously do not have enough resources to complete such a huge project. In fact, as long as other civilizations, especially the top civilizations, are discovered, then our preparations for escape will be It is regarded as a betrayal. At that time, I am afraid that even the Star Weavers will treat us as their number one enemy."
Yang Yi sighed and nodded slightly, showing that he understood what Yu Tianba meant.
At the end of the Second Age, many civilizations of the Galactic Alliance were able to escape from the galaxy and come to the Southern Alpha Galaxy. There is a crucial reason. At that time, humans dominated the entire Galactic Alliance, and no civilization could compete with humans. It is also under the organization and planning of human scientists that the many civilizations of the Galactic Alliance have built enough spacecraft in just a few hundred years.
Obviously, such conditions are simply not available now.
Not to mention that the Galactic Alliance does not have a dominant civilization, even the top civilizations have their own plans. Even if everyone knows that the Southern Alpha galaxy will soon be destroyed, in the absence of ensuring that it can escape, I am afraid that no civilization is willing to let other civilizations escape smoothly. The result is obvious, as long as one civilization decides to flee and begins to prepare for it, it will be regarded as an alternative by other civilizations, or even as a traitor, and then attacked by groups. Not to mention human beings, even top civilizations cannot resist the attacks of all civilizations. It is also true that the Yu Family could not use the original method, that is, to build a fugitive spacecraft to launch an escape operation.
"For us, there is no other choice." Yu Tianba sighed again before saying, "Since the ending is doomed, what we can do before the disaster strikes is to seize every opportunity and catch up with others. Before taking action, even if the final result is still unpredictable. Wait, Linglong will send you the technical information of manufacturing storage equipment, and I hope you can make adjustments in time."
"I will make arrangements, but it will take some time."
"One month."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, his brows frowned.
"We need one month to informatize the individual consciousness of the first batch of people, so it will take one month at the earliest to start sending individual consciousness information. You have one month to complete the preliminary preparations. Although the time is a bit tight, but I believe you will be able to do it.” Yu Tianba paused for a while, then said, “This is not for us, nor for the Yu family, but for the entire human federation, for all our compatriots, even if we cannot save everyone. , But we must do our best to save more people. If this is our only hope, then from now on, the future of mankind is in your hands."
Yang Yi sighed secretly and nodded again, showing that he understood what Yu Tianba meant.
