The deep space star, the "Celestial" space base, is known as the place closest to God. That spacious room is filled with 39% oxygen, 21% carbon dioxide, 30% nitrogen, 2% sulfur dioxide, and other trace amounts. In an office filled with fresh air mixed with gases, Noli Ruoxi, the president of the deep space civilization, who is about 3.4 meters tall and weighs 213kg, has a look of disappointment on his bronze face.
What was presented to him at this moment was a report submitted by the chief scientific officer. The report clearly stated that there was still no progress in deciphering the previous generation of texts during this period of time.
"If there is no progress, our civilization will be exterminated by those guys who call themselves humans!"
After gritting his teeth for a moment, Noli Ruoxi finally sighed.
There is no way, the inheritance of civilization is too serious. In the process of the long journey across the stars, the living environment of the people of the deep space civilization has become increasingly worse, and materials have become increasingly scarce. For nearly ten thousand years, all descendants have failed to resemble their ancestors. They have undergone comprehensive genetic optimization and transformation.
At this moment, there is only one genetically modified instrument left in the entire civilization that can barely function. For this one, hundreds of years ago, when it first came to this remote galaxy where the main star was being swallowed by a black hole, a key component was blown away by an accidental explosion and flew to an unknown location.
That’s nearly 10,000 tons of precious plutonium! Just gone.
Originally, this genetic modification machine could still operate at about 3% of its performance when it was intact, significantly improving people's intelligence, physical fitness and other related indicators. Now, without that key component, the performance has plummeted to only one-hundredth of what it was when it was intact.
Not only has the improvement effect plummeted, but there is no big enough difference between "humans" and "sub-humans" at this stage - this is undoubtedly a shame for noble "humans", and even efficiency has declined. A huge drop.
In the past, no matter how many offspring people had, they were always able to undergo genetic modification. Now, only some lucky descendants can accept the transformation. The descendants of those "people" who cannot accept transformation, after several generations, can only associate with stupid and lowly "sub-humans".
All of this is due to the unfavorable reasons for the progress of deciphering the civilizational characters of the previous generation!
Recalling what is recorded in history books, when civilization was at its peak, everyone could receive a full set of genetic modifications from genetic modification equipment before they were born. Not only did everyone have excellent physical fitness, all kinds of diseases were almost eliminated, and their wisdom was still far away. Far more than those ordinary "subhumans" who have not been able to undergo genetic modification.
In fact, apart from the lack of reproductive isolation, humans and subhumans are almost fundamentally two completely different species.
The two have different cultures, different etiquette, different living habits, and different jobs. But all the differences are based on one biggest difference: the difference in words.
The writing used by people who have undergone genetic modification is extremely complex. According to historical records, this set of texts contains nearly 130,000 words, more than 800,000 specific vocabulary phrases, and sentences with 38 different tenses and moods.
The description of the main star of the galaxy at that time alone contains more than 200 words. Among these words, some specifically refer to the state when a stellar flare reaches level X, some refer to the state of a star when it is at its calmest, some refer to the setting sun, and some refer to the setting sun when the flare explodes at its maximum. status, etc.
The entire sentence "I am hungry and want to eat food A" can be expressed by a unique word; "I am hungry and want to eat food B" can be expressed by another unique word; "I am hungry and want to eat food B" "I'm hungry and want to eat C food in the wild with the wind" also has a unique word.
This writing system is undoubtedly extremely complex and sophisticated. But it's also extremely efficient. Often extremely complex meanings can be perfectly expressed with just a few words, or even a single word. Sometimes, one word can express all the information of a painting.
What supports people's use of this extremely complex and sophisticated text and language system is a highly developed and highly intelligent brain that has been genetically modified.
Everyone can easily master up to 130,000 words and more than 800,000 specific vocabulary phrases, master various tenses and moods, and communicate with others easily and efficiently.
People who have not undergone genetic modification are completely different. They use a completely different language system. In that language system, the number of words is only about 1,200, and there are only more than 2,000 specific vocabulary phrases. The poverty of language and characters allows them to only vaguely describe objects and events, and the efficiency of information transmission is extremely low.
It's not that people don't want to master more words and vocabulary, but that their brain capacity is too low and their brain operation efficiency is too low, so they are simply unable to remember and master too many words and vocabulary proficiently. This results in people being unable to understand their language, their logic, or even what they are doing. In turn, people can easily understand everything about other people.
But now, the noble people of the deep space stars have been reduced to a level that is almost the same as that of the subhuman beings. The number of words mastered by modern people is still about 1,200. The vocabulary mastered by noble people is actually less than 5,000, and the semantics are greatly simplified. The information content of a single word is not the same as that of ancient texts. And words.
The most terrible thing is that all the information recorded in the database from the heyday of civilization was all recorded in the writings of that time!
The complete operating model of an efficient controllable nuclear fusion reactor was completely recorded in just thirty-seven characters! The number of characters used for a practical ion propulsion engine is 225. The design and manufacturing drawings of the most important genetic modification instrument only took more than 13,000 characters to record them all!
Each word in these texts contains enough information to write an entire paper. Now, the meaning of almost most words has been lost. The people of Deep Space Planet at this stage simply cannot understand it. The chief science officer led a group of the smartest people in civilization to study for such a long time, but he only mastered the meaning and usage of less than 1,000 ancient characters.
If the meaning of those words could be deciphered, not to mention the small human civilization, even if it was ten times more powerful, it would be wiped out in one fell swoop. How could it be like this now, where it was forced to even abandon the surface of the planet and could only hide? To survive in space, only by consuming sub-human lives in large quantities can we obtain barely enough supplies from the planet.
Fortunately, fortunately, the subhuman production system has always been relatively complete. On average, hundreds of new subhumans are born every day, and there are hundreds of new subhumans who can work as adults. The civilization has finally been able to survive and not collapse.
But it won’t work if it goes on like this...
The enemy civilization has been developing at full speed, but our own civilization has been developing slowly due to the lack of materials. If this continues, when the enemy civilization is strong enough and sends a fleet over, our own civilization will have no chance.
"The work of deciphering the ancient characters must be accelerated. Let’s not talk about the rest. The results of the deciphering of the characters '￥%#￥@#%#￥%' must be produced within three years."
The Chief Scientific Officer has determined that what these words describe is all the detailed information of a strategic-level weapon that can be manufactured with current technology.
Of course, the so-called strategic level is relative to the current technological level. In ancient times, such weapons were nothing more than children's toys.
As long as this kind of weapon can be manufactured, destroying that hostile civilization will not be a problem at all!
After thinking silently in his mind for a long time, Noliruoxi grabbed the communicator and conveyed this instruction to the chief scientific officer.
"Abandon all other attempts to decipher and concentrate all efforts on solving the principle and manufacturing method of this weapon! I want to see the finished product within three years!"
…
Gurdajar is a "sub-human". It was "manufactured" 22 years ago, and has been responsible for resource collection since it came of age 8 years ago.
All subhuman beings do not have the right to reproduce naturally. All sub-human beings are "made". Noble people will regularly collect the "life essence" of sub-human beings, and then take it to various devices to give birth to new sub-human beings through the machines. According to people, this method is the most efficient, as it can continuously and stably create new sub-people without affecting the production efficiency of the parent and mother generations.
Ever since he first became self-aware, Gurdazaar has been hungry for more knowledge. The period when he was still underage and still learning and mastering knowledge in school was the happiest time in his life.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient optimization and transformation of the brain, just learning and mastering more than 1,200 words of subhumans and learning some necessary survival knowledge has already made him feel the limit. If he wants to learn new things, he will not be able to remember them. Even if you memorize it, you will never learn it.
It has no choice but to accept the fate passed down from generation to generation like its companions, friends, and its father and mother who don’t know whether they are still alive, or sons and daughters who don’t know whether they were born or not. Worker.
Today it is Gudazar's turn to set off to the surface of the planet to collect mineral resources. Controlling a simple spaceship specially built for subhumans, Gudazar left the space base.
"I hope today is not the day for the enemy's nuclear bombing..."
