Chapter 525 Humanity has long since disappeared
In the deepest part of the tower, in a completely enclosed circular space.
The walls are smooth and flat, emitting a soft glow.
A pure white ball of light is quietly suspended in the middle. Every millisecond, countless pieces of information are received by it and transmitted out after being processed.
At this time, Zhou Kongming had quietly come to its vicinity and was staring at it quietly.
"This thing..."
The material is exactly the same as the pipes outside the tower and in the middle layer that connect to the underground passages, but it contains very few impurities, so it appears in this white luminous state.
【Tip! Loadable auxiliary module update】
[Number of loadable auxiliary modules +1]
[Currently loadable auxiliary modules: 2]
Ok?
Zhou Kongming, who was about to observe further, paused and looked at his personal interface.
Then I saw the [Auxiliary Module Loading Area]. In addition to the original two basic auxiliary modules, there was a new auxiliary module.
Advanced auxiliary module 1: Reading.
Compared to the original two, the new advanced module is a light green color, and the difference can be seen at a glance.
Zhou Kongming: “…”
I'm guessing the next level of assist modules are blue, and are definitely 'Advanced assist modules'.
Cough!
Complaints aside, this advanced module is still very powerful.
As the name suggests, its function is to decipher and read the designated target, and it can also obtain the information therein regardless of any protection measures.
He looked up at the pure white ball of light in front of him.
emm...
By the way, could it be that this auxiliary module was given by someone who was watching the progress of these ascended messengers?
Why didn't you give it to me before, and asked me to find them one by one and learn the language of this world?
Zhou Kongming couldn't help but chirp in his heart for a while.
Then he immediately installed the module and pointed at the pure white sphere in front of him.
‘Read! ’
The hook is right in front of you, you’d be stupid not to open it!
As the mind moved, strands of silk that did not exist in reality extended out silently and sank into the quietly suspended pure white sphere.
[Reading the 14582nd database of the Star Federation...]
[Incomplete information detected, causal tracing function activated...]
[The central database of the Star Federation has been located! Forced reading begins...]
what?
Does this thing also have a 'causal tracing' function?
Just as he was stunned...
[Information integration completed, it has been confirmed that the current civilization is the only human civilization in this world, please select the reading item! ]
I. Humanities and History
【two……】
Densely packed options were arranged instantly. Thousands of major items popped up in just one second, and each major item had many sub-items, which made Zhou Kongming's scalp tingle.
Without waiting for it to be fully loaded, he clicked on the humanities and history project and chose to look at the historical evolution of this world first.
This is the fastest way to understand the social structure of the human race in the mission world.
Soon, many texts that had been integrated and translated by the Immortal Network came into view.
I think the cheat this time was a bit too big.
Having made up for his disadvantage in information at one go, who else in this mission world can stop him?
However, as he read on, his expression gradually became ugly.
……
……
The human civilization in Mission World 1 originated from a planet called 'Qi'.
The early Qixing people made their living by hunting and gathering and lived in primitive tribes.
During this period, the organizational form of human society was relatively simple, mainly based on blood ties, forming basic social units such as families and clans.
At the same time, they gradually learned to use fire, make simple tools, and began the initial transformation of nature.
As the Qixing people's understanding of nature deepened, they gradually learned to grow crops and domesticate animals, thus breaking away from the hunting and gathering lifestyle that was completely dependent on nature.
During this process, because the Qixing people saw phenomena such as division of labor and private ownership, their social form gradually transitioned from a primitive society to a slave society.
During this period, the productivity of the Qixing people also developed significantly.
Then, feudal society emerged.
The country's political system gradually improved and agricultural production developed further. However, with the growth of population and the intensification of social contradictions, the productivity of feudal society gradually failed to meet the needs of the Qixing people.
At this time, the Industrial Revolution came into being.
The technological level of the Qixing people has grown rapidly. Not content with exploring their own planet, they have turned their eyes to the starry sky.
The 3358th year of the Qixing calendar.
The people of Qixing have been able to develop and utilize all of Qixing's natural resources, and can also explore freely within the planetary system.
That's it for now.
In the starry sky of the Taixuan Realm, some races can be found that have experienced similar civilization development processes.
However, in the Taixuan Realm, when a race has the ability to leave its own planet, it will inevitably come into contact with the concept of "cultivation".
The direction of civilization evolution will naturally be affected by this.
But this 'Mission World 1' is different.
It is a world without any spiritual power, and the evolution of their civilization has not been affected by "cultivation".
The 3578th year of the Qixing calendar.
Qixing completed the unification, established the "Star Federation", and began to explore the outer space of the planet.
However, it is difficult to achieve breakthrough progress because the relevant technology is immature.
The 3754th year of the Qixing calendar.
Strong artificial intelligence 'Heng' was born, various technologies achieved breakthroughs, and most of the theories that were still in the realm of speculation were confirmed.
The 3764th year of the Qixing calendar.
Society is undergoing another transformation.
Ninety-seven percent of the jobs are taken over by "Heng", and with the increasingly sophisticated machines, social productivity has increased by leaps and bounds.
The vast majority of Qixing people are no longer able to produce means of production and are supported by social welfare.
In the year 3777 of the Qixing calendar, virtual reality technology matured and was put into use on a large scale.
The physical and psychological needs of Qixing people are met, and they no longer need to seek to satisfy their needs from the outside.
In the same year, the decision-makers of the 'Star Federation' formulated a 'Population Clearance Plan' to systematically clear out 'redundant population' through bioengineering.
The 3801th year of the Qixing calendar.
The 'Population Removal Plan' was successful, and the remaining Qixing people officially entered the 'Algorithmic Totalitarian' society.
The algorithm has become the absolute law, and Qixing people have been completely objectified as appendages of the computing power system.
The 3851th year of the Qixing calendar.
'Heng' solves the technical difficulties of interstellar travel.
In the same year, the ecological transformation technology matured and Heng began to explore and transform the nearest planetary system.
Qixing society is simplified to a ternary structure of "controller-maintainer-machine", and civilization falls into a static balance.
The 3917th year of the Qixing calendar.
Due to virtual reality technology, the human population has reached a dangerous level.
In order to ensure the population size, the Starry Parliament agreed to increase the population through artificial intervention.
The concept of 'kinship' disappears.
The 4000th year of the Qixing calendar.
The 'morality' of the Qixing people is completely lost, and the ban on cloning is lifted.
'Heng' began to clone humans on a large scale, giving them professional skills and letting them serve as 'maintainers' in society.
The 4153th year of the Qixing calendar.
The last 'controller' of the Qixing people, a non-clone, committed suicide due to mental illness.
Before his death, he deleted the original gene bank with the highest authority and ordered Heng to clear the gene bank data every three years.
In the same year, the overall exploration of the galaxy by the Qixing civilization reached 0.14%.
……
……
Now, it is the 5031st year of the Qixing calendar.
The number of maintainers is 867,831,607.
Due to the destruction of the original gene pool, genetic diseases in cloned humans frequently occur.
This defect cannot be improved due to the supreme injunction.
It is estimated that the last clone will die in 272 years.
In the same year, the exploration rate of the Venus system was 6.22%
Look at the last line, and then look at the beginning of "the only human civilization in this world"...
Zhou Kongming felt a little confused.
Is this the world where I'm going to carry out my mission?
They've played themselves to death, how the hell am I supposed to guide them into the Tao? !
Those clones who are just empty shells with incomplete souls!
Damn it!
No wonder the last two tasks offer the highest rewards of 1~100 Ascension Points.
It turns out the pit is right here!
As the first person in the Sword Sect to return to the void, Zhou Kongming finally felt like he had no idea where to start.
Can you fight?
It's useless to beat him!
To some extent, all humans in this world have already died out!
……
……
More than half an hour later, Zhou Kongming left the tower and came outside.
The sirens have stopped.
Those clones, who were only empty shells and with incomplete souls, also came out of the shelters and walked on the streets with expressionless faces.
There was no communication between each other, and the whole city was so quiet that it was unsettling.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Kongming chose to return to his original state and appeared on the side of the road.
Woo~!
The shrill alarm sounded again, and dark red lights filled every corner.
However, the expressions of the clones on the street did not change at all, nor did they complain at all. They just walked towards the shelter as before.
During the whole process, no one even looked at him.
"Ah."
Zhou Kongming smiled bitterly and sat down directly on the side of the road.
Cultivation is a very personal matter that requires sufficient subjective initiative.
For these empty shells without self-awareness, the possibility of even entering the Tao is slim, let alone guiding them to transform as a whole into a spiritual civilization.
What the hell!
Are all humans in this world stupid?
How could you kill yourself?
There were so many opportunities to make amends and correct the situation during this period...
Soon, all the clones entered the shelter, and the shrill alarms and dim red lights disappeared.
"Hello, outsider."
A pleasant voice came from behind, as if it was the most perfect voice adjusted after countless comparisons.
The footsteps approached, and a tall figure stopped behind him and then sat down beside him.
The person had delicate facial features, fair and delicate skin, light silver-gray pupils, and short chestnut hair.
She was wearing a silver bodysuit that highlighted her curvaceous figure.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I will speak to you on behalf of the Qixing human civilization."
Because the overall appearance of this outsider is similar to that of a human male, He used this image.
Zhou Kongming tilted his head and took a look:
"Heng?"
A simple word made Heng's pupils shrink suddenly, and his eyes revealed a tangible surprise. (End of this chapter)
