0.4 light years!

When hearing this answer, Richemont has now grown into a dominant figure in the galaxy. He has gone through various battles and seen various civilization creations. At this time, he can’t help but deeply. Shock.

To know the diameter of the entire solar system, it is only 0.003 light years!

The concept of light years is completely different from other units of length. Light that can move 300,000 kilometers per second takes one year. This length is beyond the imagination of many ordinary people.

In other words, compared to the earth, the diameter of the earth is about 12,000 meters, and the distance traveled by light per second can reach more than 20 times the diameter of the earth. It is conceivable how big is 0.4 light-year.

Such a huge object is actually a civilization!

Seeing Richemont’s expression of astonishment, Zhou Shan couldn’t help laughing with pride, and said, “How about it, not bad? I was one of the designers at the beginning. Of course, the original structure was only the size of a small star system, and then It started to increase its volume rapidly, and I never thought it would be so huge now."

At this moment, with a black spot as the center on the endless smooth plane in front of you, an entrance that could accommodate the starship Earth quickly appeared, and the whole process was as smooth as clouds and flowing water, as if this thing was a living body.

Richemont did not hesitate, and immediately controlled the starship Earth into this super-giant structure.

Unlike the prosperous city in the imagination, the space inside this super-giant structure is extremely empty and huge, with columns crisscrossing like ganglia everywhere, and there is no silicon-based life at all.

The starship Earth entered seems to be a huge cabin. The dome of tens of thousands of kilometers looks serious and serious, and the surrounding pillars are densely packed.

On these pillars, there are also slender pillars that are connected to other pillars. At the same time, you can see that some of the pillars are slowly emerging from some synapses, and the length of these synapses is increasing. , Obviously will form a new pillar.

When the starship Earth completely entered it, the entrance behind him was quickly closed, and there was no trace of it.

Immediately afterwards, in the passage ahead, pillars with a thickness of hundreds of thousands of kilometers shrank to both sides, forming an unobstructed passage in front of the starship Earth.

Richemont smiled and quickly let go of his thinking field. At the tail of the Starship Earth, three blue irises appeared one after another, accelerating instantly, and headed towards the interior of this super-giant structure.

As it continued to penetrate into the super giant structure, the structure and internal conditions of the entire structure also appeared in Richemont's thinking field.

The closer you are to the inside, the more spoke-like pillars with synapses, and the greater the density, and even planet-like huge nodes have been formed in many places.

As for the materials that make up these pillars, Richemont also has a certain understanding through Bu Zhou Shan. These things, all of which are superconductors, can transmit signals most quickly and losslessly.

The most abnormal thing is that they have not seen any silicon-based creatures along the way!

In other words, no creatures with signs of activity have been seen, and they have always been similar structures, huge pillars, densely packed synapses, and spoke-like structures, forming a network structure that almost becomes a sphere.

To know that the speed of the starship Earth at this time has reached several times the speed of light, and after traveling for a long time, this is still the case, which has to make people think deeply.

Almost an hour later, the starship Earth entered a huge space with a diameter of one million kilometers, and then stopped.

In the center of this space is a circular sphere about the size of Starship Earth. When Starship Earth stopped, a huge holographic image appeared on the surface of the circular sphere, which turned out to be a humanoid robot.

"Guests from afar, what are you doing? I seem to feel the breath of an old friend." The robot is silver-white, and there is a flashing pink light around the body, which seems to be used to express emotions.

"Hahaha, Gerst, your old metal lump is still using its previous appearance." The Starship Earth instantly radiated beams of radio waves, and the surrounding field of thinking spread.

"It's... it's you! Not Zhoushan!" Hearing this voice, the holographic image of the metal robot fluctuated, as if he could not believe the facts before him.

"Haha, it's me! Don't tell me that the super-giant structure does not receive external information at all. I don't believe that the Starship Earth is making such a big noise in the galaxy. Would you not know?" Said hummingly.

The light around Gerst quickly turned into orange, as if he was ashamed, and said, “I was just awakened by the giant structure and came to greet you. To be honest, I don’t know much about the outside world. I am currently receiving information collected by the recent giant information collector..."

As he spoke, the light around him once again turned into a surprised red, and he was surprised: "Ah! I didn't expect so many things to happen!... Are you Richemont? Well, well, you have the style of Li Lang at the beginning! "

But Zhou Shan did not answer, but asked in a solemn and deep tone: "Guest, has the original idea really been realized? You...all uploaded it!?"

At this time, Richemont had quickly inferred from the other party's words, and had a preliminary understanding of the status quo of the entire Norton Silicon-based Federation, which could not help being deeply shocked.

No wonder there is not even a silicon-based life in the super-giant structure with a volume of dozens of star systems, and there is no trace of individual life activity even along the way.

It turns out they have all uploaded!

It should be understood that these silicon-based lives, especially those evolved from artificial intelligence, have their own thinking and consciousness extremely easy to break away from the ontology due to their own structural characteristics. At least much easier than those carbon-based life.

For all intelligent beings, the death of the body cannot represent the true demise. Only the complete destruction of consciousness is the true death.

As for silicon-based beings, they can choose to abandon their original body and bring their consciousness into another carrier.

No wonder most of the entire super-giant body is constructed with superconductors. It turns out that there is already a world that belongs to consciousness a long time ago!

Gerst couldn't help showing a proud smile when he heard the words of Bu Zhou Shan, and the light around his body also turned blue: "Yes, my old friend, as early as 80,000 years ago, the silicon-based life of the Norton Silicon-based Federation We started uploading our own consciousness. One hundred years ago, the consciousness upload rate of the entire federation reached 99.99%, and the whole upload has now been completed. Moreover, all new members of Norton Silicon All the silicon-based lives of the Federation chose to upload with consciousness."

"Old friends, we have realized our original dream and created a perfect paradise of silicon-based life! In our conscious world, all lives are equal, there is no evil, no bondage, and some are just endless Freedom." Gerst said excitedly, "I also understand the purpose of your trip, old friends, I think you may be disappointed. The purpose of the Norton Silicon Commons is to be free from the world, independent from the universe, and perfect. Our own world."

A holographic projection appeared from the void in front of the starship Earth. It was Bu Zhoushan, but this time he chose the appearance of a gray-haired old man. The wrinkles on his face and the deep eyes all showed that he had gone through the vicissitudes of life. Lively.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that our original plan would actually be able to get to this point. Speaking of which, should I also be proud of myself for participating in this great plan..." Bu Zhoushan's face, Even showing a leisurely and fascinating expression.

"Yes, old friend, be proud of it. If you want, you can also access the world in the super-giant structure and feel the new evolutionary path taken by our silicon-based life!" To say.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Gerst's excitement: "Huh, what an evolutionary road, it's just a dead end."
