How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 675: "The Ship of Theseus" Maintenance Law

"The time in the area passes faster than the outside world, which means that the life of the equipment in the area is many times shorter than that in the outside world. It is impossible for the Hui civilization who designed this area to think of this. They even accelerate the passage of time. Apply to medical treatment..."

It is not difficult to infer the reason why the equipment in the area is as brand new and continues to operate for such a long time, because there are physical objects, and the information obtained is enough for collectors to analyze the logical cause and effect.

Another collector took the conversation and said the conclusion of the analysis, "So you can boldly guess that Hui Wenming has used a certain method to extend the life of the equipment."

"But the materials used in these equipment and instruments are still at the molecular level, and there is also air in the area. Normal time and space are 800 million years past, and the area where the accelerated time has passed, I am afraid that more than billions of years have passed. The self-decay of the company is definitely unavoidable, and the equipment and instruments cannot be what they are now."

If it is like the Stargate, using neutron degenerate materials, or even other more advanced materials to build equipment and instruments, with the technological height of Hui civilization, it may last billions of years.

But if only molecular materials exist in a chaotic environment with air, it is absolutely impossible to last such a long time. Even if the technology is like a god, at least the basic law must be taught.

"So it can be concluded that Hui Civilization does not extend the life of the equipment by improving the performance of the material, but the life extension of other methods, so there is only one method left." Another collector replied firmly.

"Yes, only ‘external maintenance’ is left to extend the life of materials."

The instrument is a system composed of multiple parts, so parts can be replaced to ensure a longer service life of an instrument.

The principle is similar to the ship of Theseus. The theoretical service life of the ship of Theseus is approaching infinity, because as long as it can constantly replace parts, it can always exist and be renewed forever. The same is true for equipment and instruments. The parts of the equipment are constantly replaced to ensure that the equipment and instruments will never reach the end of their service life.

The two collectors suddenly felt that their thoughts were smooth. Perhaps it is because of the convenience of replacement that Hui talents will use relatively fragile molecular materials in an environment where time is accelerating.

"But the problem is that external maintenance needs a carrier to implement, and the carrier itself must be able to operate continuously for billions of years, and the resources consumed by replacing materials are huge. It is impossible to create something out of thin air in this internal area, right? In other words, the maintenance energy alone is already ridiculously high."

Although the ship of Theseus can have an infinite lifespan due to replacement, it also means that the "replacer" of the parts exists, which is equivalent to the "replacer" of the parts that has existed stably for more than billions of years. Falling into another paradox.

This involves a lot of things. Whether the'changer' is a living or dead thing, there must be an inherent operating program, and such an operating program, even if the'changer' is outside the area where time elapses, it will at least run stably. After 800 million years, there was no logical collapse due to quantum effects, which is already very exaggerated.

The second is the parts that can be replaced. It is necessary to know that the parts are replaced less once, and the “replacer” also needs to know the manufacture of the parts. This leads to a lot of production lines, and these production lines must be guaranteed not to be used for at least 800 million years. error occured.

After thinking about it, both collectors felt that there were big discoveries in it, and the astonishing degree should not be lower than that of negative matter.

"You go look for it, maybe there will be new discoveries like negative matter."

The collector who obtained the internal information of the equipment decided to let the same clan find out. There is no too important issue to deal with at the moment, and the information acquisition is also very smooth. It is better to let the same clan figure out the laboratory left by the Hui civilization. What good things are still hidden.

After thinking about it, the collectors did not forget to warn the same family,

"But be careful when looking for it, it won't be good if any mechanism is triggered."

Collectors who are looking for a maintenance mechanism within the scope of the negative material influence allow the roots to spread further, striving to cover the entire internal area, and then let these roots invade the interior of all instruments and equipment.

This is done for observation, and the level of observation ranges from the macroscopic scale to the microscopic molecular scale.

When the collector enters the internal area, the equipment and instruments are still as brand new, which shows that the maintenance mechanism of the internal area is still operating. As long as the collectors observe carefully, the collector believes that they will definitely find something.

After a while, the collectors who were looking for the maintenance mechanism really found something, but this discovery did not surprise it, surprise, or joy. On the contrary, anxiety filled its thinking, which could be clearly perceived by the same race in the life field.

"what's happenin?"

The collector who was searching the internal information of the device asked with doubts.

"I found the maintenance mechanism here, but it's not good news."

"Bad news? What's the matter?"

Because of the information returned by the same family, the collector didn't understand what the situation was. It's just a maintenance mechanism for equipment and instruments. Is there any danger? Will Hui civilization pretend to be a crazy super weapon for a maintenance mechanism?

The collector who discovered the mystery of the maintenance mechanism answered.

"Stable external maintenance on the scale of hundreds of millions of years, the time scale increases the variables, it must be handed over to the agent to complete this maintenance task."

The so-called agent will have a subjectively active object. Whether it is a dead thing or a living thing, it must contain a ‘program’ inside, but the dead thing is called code, and the living thing is called consciousness.

The gatherer understands what the same clan said, and it answers.

"But we didn't see anything that seemed to be a maintenance unit. The only mechanical unit found had been scrapped for a long time, and now there is an empty shell with a mere appearance."

"Because the maintenance unit is on the micro scale, or in other dimensions."

"Other dimensions? You mean..."

Hearing this from the same clan, the collectors vaguely thought of something familiar, which is also a creation of Hui civilization, and it also exists at a higher latitude.

Afterwards, the family settled on the conjecture of the collectors.

"Yes, it's the spiritual realm, and the spiritual realm is maintaining the equipment in this place."

The maintenance mechanism in the Hui civilization laboratory is divided into two parts. Due to the distortion of time and space caused by negative matter, the maintenance of this part is left to the spiritual realm. From energy to its material form, to the stability of the internal process, it is precisely because This is the case. While the remnants of the Hui civilization in the normal time and space of the laboratory are decayed by time, the creation of the Hui civilization in the environment accelerated by the negative material time is still the same as brand new.

As long as the spiritual realm is still there, the things here will not die.

"...This is really not good news."

When it comes to the spiritual realm, the collectors suddenly think of all kinds of monsters that are distorted to the extent that they can be described as a mess, as well as those operating principles that are beyond their understanding, and the majestic malice from the spirits.

"Will it lead to Lingzun?"

The collector asked the same race the question it cared most.

Since the maintenance mechanism uses the spiritual realm, it means that there is a connection between this and the spiritual realm, and things become troublesome. The ghost knows whether the spiritual master will suddenly follow this connection and destroy it. It is now The last thing I want to see is that there are spiritual monsters appearing in the ruins.

"do not know."

Regarding this question, the collectors who found the maintenance mechanism could not answer, it depends on what the spiritual realm thinks.

"It doesn't matter if we fight against the spirits, we have the advantage outside the spirit realm, but I am worried that the ruins of Hui civilization will be damaged. This kind of 800 million year old antique cannot withstand the toss."

"This is exactly what I worry about."

It doesn’t matter whether it’s strong or not, the gatherer is fully confident to beat the spirits who run out of the spiritual realm, because the race has done this before, but the problem is that even if they win the spirits that run out of the spiritual realm, then The loss is still on the collector's side, which makes it impossible for them to accept it.

After all, they want to obtain information through the remains of Hui civilization, not only to understand what happened in the original experiment, but also to inspire new technology, such as the existence of negative matter is confirmed.

Now that the information has not yet been obtained, and the negative matter pile has not yet been transferred to the same clan~lightnovelpub.net~ At this critical time, the Spirit Venerable ran out and everything was in vain.

If things have progressed to that point, the collectors will not be able to get any benefits except for the compounded violent beating of the Spirit Venerable corpse into thousands of pieces.

After thinking about it, one of the two collectors proposed.

"There is still a part of the laboratory ruins of Hui Civilization that have not been explored. You go to explore the remaining places, find everything you can find as soon as possible, and collect the information that can be collected as soon as possible, so that even if something really happens, loss It can also be minimized."

"Understood, I will finish the exploration as soon as possible, and you move faster."

Due to the relationship of the spiritual realm, the difficulty of the task that should have been easy and pleasant has increased by several levels, and the two collectors have also changed their exploring mentality. They are no longer simply wary of possible dangers in the ruins, but There is a sense of crisis, and the source of the sense of crisis is the spiritual realm.

A collector shifted his attention from the microwave area to other places, spreading and expanding wantonly to those places in the laboratory that had not been explored by them.

The area affected by the negative material and other parts of the laboratory are completely two templates. One is brand new as if it has just been built, and the other is old and has undergone years of vicissitudes. There are no new discoveries in the exploration along the way.

It's okay to have equipment, but none of them have survived the baptism of 800 million years.

This situation continued until the discovery of a certain room. The roots spread into the closed room. What you saw was iron powder all over the floor, and there were familiar horn-like metal objects in the iron powder.

The collectors of this thing are very familiar, because its genetic memory has an influence on this thing, and then it found a lot of iron oxide metal that is suspected of being skeletal.

"These are Huiren's skeleton fossils?"
