Chapter 222 Deep Space Exploration Committee

In the lonely and cold universe, the concept of time seems to have lost its meaning.∷∷, because no matter how long it has passed, the Xinghai spacecraft has always been silent, and it always quietly suspended in this dark space. Not only does it have no movement, but the environment it is in has not changed.

When Wei Feng woke up again, the starry sky he saw was no different from what he saw ten years ago. The sun was still the brightest star in the sky, and the infinite stars in the starry sky were still staying in their original positions, without any change.

They are like a quiet painting, and the painting will naturally not change.

But Wei Feng knew that this was just a visual perception of the naked eye. If you use precision instruments to analyze it, as you move, the positions and brightness of the stars are actually changing every moment, but you can't detect them.

"Another ten years have passed, Ye Luo, have you discovered something during this period?" Wei Feng asked.

Ye Luo's voice was still steady, "I found nothing. During this ten years, the 950 billion kilometers voyage, I did not see anything within 500 million kilometers next to us. The emptiness of this universe is beyond our imagination."

Ye Luo has been working, and there has been no interruption in this decade. Ye Luo is operating the telescope equipped on the Xinghai spacecraft every second to search for the surrounding space, but Ye Luo has not found anything.

This is a very boring job. If Wei Feng did it, Wei Feng would probably go crazy in less than one month. Only Ye Luo can do such a job.

"Ye Luo, thank you for your hard work." Wei Feng said very seriously.

"I am an intelligent program, and the program will not feel hard." Ye Luo replied, "As long as there is enough energy and hardware guarantee, I can work until the end of the universe."

This sentence is like nonsense, but generally speaking, nonsense always contains truth. Smart programs do not feel hard. They always have endless energy, they will not be irritated, they will not be sad, and they will not be controlled by any emotions. They are born to strive for the goals set at the beginning, just as Ye Luo said, "As long as there is enough energy and hardware guarantee", they can work until the end of the universe.

This is the greatest advantage of intelligent programs compared to life. Sometimes, Wei Feng, no, is not just Wei Feng. Scientists on Earth have also imagined the existence of mechanical civilization. Compared with living organisms, the advantages of mechanical civilization are too obvious. They will not be troubled by short life, nor will they be hindered by difficulties such as culture, ideology, and internal disputes. Spending a thousand years of interstellar voyage may be a difficult thing for human civilization, but for mechanical civilization, a thousand years of time and a second is no different.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of computer scientists, physicists, materials scientists, structural engineers, structural engineers, etc. joined forces to compile and use more than ten years to compile the huge intelligent program "Ye Luo". Now, it has taken 30 years to prove its reliability. Although there are occasionally some tiny bugs, and although its abilities are still very limited, its powerful abilities have been shown without any omissions.

This made Wei Feng feel a little more expectation of the possibility of mechanical civilization. Think about it, if Ye Luo's original goal was not to assist Wei Feng in controlling the Xinghai spacecraft, but to simply obtain resources and copy his own voyage to other galaxies to continue to obtain resources. If he kept circulating like this, what kind of scenario would it be?

Artificial intelligence is a product that emerges with smart civilization. If smart civilization wants to develop, it must be unable to escape the help of artificial intelligence. However, artificial intelligence is a very dangerous thing, and its existence may destroy the entire universe.

Perhaps because he just woke up and his head was not under his control, Wei Feng couldn't help thinking too much at this moment. So Ye Luo said, "Captain, what's wrong with you, do you feel uncomfortable or not? Do you need help?"

Wei Feng came back to his senses from his meditation. He tried to leave the hibernation compartment and said, "No. I'm fine, I have nothing to do. Ye Luo. Report to me what happened in the past ten years."

"Nothing is worth paying attention to." Ye Luo replied, "The number of parts that need to be replaced and repaired has increased to more than 100, and my cumulative number of bugs has also increased to more than 100. In addition, the Earth has sent us more than 30 notices, but the urgency is b, and it has not reached the point where you are about to wake you up urgently."

It seems that as time passes, various defects and faults of the Xinghai spacecraft and the Ye Luo themselves have begun to slowly be exposed. Wei Feng knows that this will be an irreversible trend, and the number of faulty parts and cumulative bugs may only increase, just as the spacecraft will always break more and more.

Wei Feng had been mentally prepared for this, so he didn't feel that there was anything unacceptable to it. Just like before, Ye Luo sent the faults and bugs that occurred during the ten-year sleep this time to the earth in advance, and then the experts from the earth formulated a repair plan. Wei Feng only needed to read the script.

Just like restorative training and hibernation, repairing spacecraft and eliminating leaf-fall bugs belongs to the category of daily work, and Wei Feng is not very interested in these things. Wei Feng is interested in the notifications sent by the earth. At this moment, Wei Feng seems to be the only thing that can maintain a "sense of association" with the earth.

The first thing Wei Feng saw was a document signed by the "Deep Space Exploration Committee". When Wei Feng left Earth, there was no such agency, and Wei Feng didn't know what the agency was responsible for. However, there was a relevant explanation below the document. It said that the Deep Space Exploration Committee is the latest leadership body for the exploration of the deep space in the universe and is responsible for all matters about deep space exploration outside the orbit of Neptune. The isolated island plan is naturally part of the Deep Space Exploration Program, so it is included in the functions of the Deep Space Exploration Committee. Simply put, this organization is Wei Feng's immediate superior and has command over Wei Feng.

In addition to the change of ownership rights for Wei Feng and the encouragement of Wei Feng, the rest of the document only explains one thing, that is, the discovery of metal fragments of unknown technological civilization sent back by Wei Feng.

Wei Feng originally believed that this incident would cause an uproar in human civilization, because in addition to the "plasma life form" incident hundreds of years ago, this should be the first evidence that human civilization discovered the existence of alien intelligent civilization. But beyond Wei Feng's expectations, the Deep Space Exploration Committee simply conveyed to Wei Feng in the document that they had received relevant reports from Wei Feng and were organizing personnel to follow up and study the matter, so that Wei Feng would not distract himself from this matter, otherwise there would be nothing else.

Wei Feng was puzzled by the calm attitude of the earth. It seemed that apart from the explanation that "the earth attaches great importance to this matter, but in order to calm their hearts, they did not show their urgent attitude", Wei Feng really didn't know how to explain this matter.

Since the earth has already made relevant arrangements, Wei Feng did not continue to investigate this matter. Apart from this document, the rest of the notifications were sent by Time Travelers and his group.

"We feel that the social atmosphere seems to be getting worse and worse. When we went out, we actually saw beggars appearing in the city. We don't know if there is a loophole in our social welfare security system, and we don't have enough time and energy to investigate this matter. We just feel something is wrong from the bottom of our hearts. The technology of our human civilization has developed to this stage. There were no beggars decades ago. Why are there beggars appearing now?"

"It seems that more and more hostility has accumulated in this society. When we walk on the street, we always feel frightened and scared. Just a few days ago, I saw a group of people coming out of nowhere and pressing a stranger next to me to the ground and punching and kicking him. Then he left. During the whole process, no passerby helped the victim, and no police appeared."

"The Mercury Heavy Industry Base had a serious incident some time ago. A worker blew up a storage tank, causing tens of thousands of people to be poisoned, and hundreds of them died."

"The latest survey data from the Academy of Social Sciences shows that the human population growth rate has greatly exceeded the original expectations, and we are experiencing a new round of population explosion."

"I vaguely feel that our human civilization seems to have gone through its most glorious period and has begun to decline. This process is extremely slow. Because it is too slow, people have accepted these things subtly and do not think that there is something wrong with these things. But we are different time travelers. We are people who are free from society, and we can easily discover these things."

"The breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion technology has greatly increased the total resources of our human civilization, and has also brought us a highly material rich life for hundreds of years. But now, this rapidly increasing population base seems to be constantly eliminating our surplus resources. I am worried that if our resource extraction speed cannot keep up with the speed of population growth, our civilization will once again fall into the energy crisis."
