Chapter 245: Transmitting Energy over Long Distances, Simulating Reality
In order to do what Ella said, some preparations are needed.
For example, in terms of energy supply.
Ella wanted / Star City to be the main energy source, but Yan Xia estimated that / Star City may have consumed most of its energy in the process of resisting the glory of Geis, so they still need to transport energy.
This is a difficult problem.
Previously, ultra-long-distance energy transportation was carried out in the form of energy ships, which was more energy-saving. These transport ships only needed an initial acceleration and would fly all the way to the destination.
However, this method was very slow.
So Yan Xia planned to transform the super-hedge material transfer device into an energy transmission and reception device.
One advantage of doing this is that you don’t have to start from scratch, which greatly saves time, and there is also a receiving device at the other end of the Cosmic Silk Road.
The modification took only 8 years.
8 years later, a beam of light with a diameter of 140 kilometers shot into deep space.
On the other side of the Cosmic Silk Road, the transformation was completed 20 years later, and the receiving device locked the coordinates and waited to receive energy.
At the same time, another super-hedge material transfer device was also preparing to receive the host components of the simulated universe.
All this has been waiting for 278 years, and finally arrived.
Then it took another 13 years to assemble, 18 years to transport to the designated location, and 7 years to debug...
Dok and other key federal high-level officials had already obtained the energy key of /Star City from the liberal faction of the Olive Branch Civilization during this process, and then with the help of this energy, they finally completed everything.
But in fact, the beam carrying the glory of Gais disappeared 200 years ago.
At that time, they were facing a brand new /Star City.
If it weren't for the factions that were not affected and had been disrupting the interior of /Star City in these years, 200 years would have been enough for /Star City to be ready and start attacking everything on the Silk Road of the Universe.
Fennelly had contact with Zhuo in the second year and found that Zhuo had been completely affected by the glory of Gais. It no longer had the permission of the administrator and became a member of the shared consciousness cluster.
The current /Star City actually has no administrator.
In this way, Fennelly speculated that a new administrator might be selected from the Olive Branch Civilization to take over here.
Fortunately, the distance between the star cities in the Olive Branch Civilization is very far. Even at the speed of the Olive Branch Civilization spacecraft, it takes more than 500 years to get from the nearest star city to /Star City.
They still have time.
"Are you ready?"
Fennelly took a deep breath of oxygen to keep his mind clear enough.
"There are still 17 trillion unaffected lives in /Star City now, and they are waiting for us to turn on the device."
17 trillion is a lot, but it is very small among the tens of trillions of lives in the entire /Star City. In recent years, they have basically been lingering on, relying on their own will to stand firm.
The shared consciousness cluster will appease them at the beginning, and after determining that these guys cannot be persuaded, the shared consciousness cluster will make a decision together to eliminate them.
More than 10 trillion of these unaffected lives have died in the past 200 years, and some of them have not been determined enough to integrate into the shared consciousness cluster.
"Ready."
They are preparing to enter the simulated universe.
They have not been idle in these years. Yan Xia has issued orders for them to study ideologically. With the opening of the simulated universe, they need to play different roles to guide the direction of the life of /Star City in the simulated universe.
Everything is ready, and Fennelly issued an order to run the simulated universe.
Almost at the moment he issued the order, a beam of light shot up from the spherical /Star City. This beam of light hit a triangular device. After receiving the energy, the device transferred the energy to three devices in the other three directions through three different energy emission holes.
Then the three devices were connected to two devices each, and dispersed in turn. Finally, after connecting 190 devices, the entire area was covered. It formed a polyhedron structure that wrapped /Star City.
After this polyhedron was formed, /Star City instantly completed a revolutionary change.
The original steel pillar city turned into a green mountain, lake and grassland.
A breeze blew past, rustling the grass and trees, and the lake surface sparkled. The sound became faster and faster, and the waves on the lake surface became faster and faster. It seemed that time was accelerated 100 times, 1,000 times in this world.
When Fennelly and other federal officials and scholars arrived in this world, they felt that the passage of time was not fake.
In fact, they knew it was fake, but they could not feel any fakeness.
Being here, even their thoughts became extremely fast, and all the cells and particles in their bodies were moving at a terrifying speed. They had been preparing for this for nearly 300 years, but they still did not understand the principle.
Everything here looks like a space between reality and illusion. If anything can happen in the virtual world, no one would feel weird about it, but this is reality.
"Incredible!"
The feeling of rapid thinking only lasted for a moment, and then as they continued to integrate into this world, the feeling of accelerated time could no longer be felt.
Fenelli's body floated in the air with a thought. He faced one direction and said to other officials and scholars: "Choose a direction each."
"Our task is very difficult."
"If it is ordinary life, the long time is enough for them to forget some things, but the life of the Olive Branch civilization itself has a nearly eternal life, and time is nothing to them."
"All we can do is to correct their thoughts with dead methods."
That's right, with such high technology, the only thing they can do is to influence the life of the Olive Branch civilization through words.
What they have to do is to repeat Yan Xia's successful experience, let the life of the Olive Branch civilization realize the shortcomings of Gais Rongguang, and then let them take the initiative to break away from the control of Gais Rongguang.
Just think about it with your head to know how difficult it is.
And because the simulated universe consumes too much energy, they only have 10 years. Even if the simulated universe can speed up time 1,000 times, they actually have 10,000 years.
The only thing they can rely on is the permission given to them by the simulated universe. They are invincible in this space.
For example, Fenelli can make himself fly with a thought.
A total of 62 officials and scholars flew in different directions. They were going to contact the Olive Branch civilization life that was forcibly divided into groups by the simulated universe, and what they did was more like a routine plot similar to the girl's strategy game.
Most of the life in the shared consciousness cluster will behave mediocrely in this world, and those who make alternative actions will be rewarded, become noble, and their class will be promoted, and then these lives that act according to the patterned modular thinking will be managed.
It emphasizes that life should not be content with mediocrity, forcing the shared consciousness cluster to make changes under such a reward system.
The disadvantage of doing so is obvious, that is, it is almost impossible to complete in a short time.
That's why they have a full 10,000 years to waste.
This is a plan to destroy the glory of Geis. If successful, Yan Xia will use it in the war against other Olive Branch civilizations.
