"Boom!"
The sound of the explosion echoed throughout the warship.
It had been some time since the pompoms invaded the warship...
Lin had been attacked fiercely here, and the first pompoms had been dealt with. The ones guarding the warship were the same as the ones outside.
However, there were more of them, and the weapons they used were more powerful...
However, Lin then dispatched even more pompoms to defeat the miniaturized army, and one of the pompoms successfully reached the … control room.
Now, one of Lin's pompoms was being tested here.
This place was also filled with complicated metal parts, but it was different from the rest of the warship. The metal parts here were... very neat.
On the walls on both sides of the pompoms, there were densely packed square metal blocks. The rest of the warship was also made of complicated metal, but they were all of different sizes and shapes. Lin had never seen such neat metal blocks before.
Lin thought this place was the control room, mainly because she could feel dream energy from here, which was present in every square on the wall.
These cubes were about ten centimeters in length and width. Although they were tightly stacked together, they were separated. Therefore, the energy in the cubes was also separated by the number of cubes. Each cubes had its own individual energy.
Lin's pompoms reached out and touched a square on the wall... this was...
As soon as she touched it, Lin sensed some information transmitted from the cube, which was transmitted through Dreamscape energy.
However, the information was very vague, and she didn't know what it was. Thinking, Lin made the pompoms extend more of their fur, and the fur used a dissolving liquid to melt a hole in the surface of the square, and extended into the square.
Inside the square was a pile of complicated mechanical parts, and Lin found that these parts were made of special materials.
Dream energy was attached to these materials, and Lin could obtain more information by touching them. Moreover, she didn't need to enter the dream to see it, because the dream energy could directly transmit information that Lin could understand.
So that was it...
After receiving this information, Lin understood many things in an instant. This information was mainly a lot of memories.
This memory. It was the memories of the war creatures here. This square was something they used to store their memories, and it seemed to be a technological invention.
Lin understood many things from this memory, and it had to start from a relatively early time.
These war creatures … Lin felt that they should be given a name. Let's call it 'Memory Keeper'. I feel that this name suits them very well.
Just like what Lin knew, they were a type of 'civilization' that lived in connected worlds. Currently, there were many similar civilizations in connected worlds. In short, they were very similar to the common biological civilizations, they could create many mechanical tools.
However, they were unable to stand at a higher position and usually only occupied a part of the area as their territory.
The living place of the Memory Keeper was somewhat similar to the Earth Mirror. They mainly built complex cities underground and set up a large number of defense forces to prevent any creatures from invading them. In addition to breeding creatures, they would also go to the surface to hunt.
This life was not easy. Their cities could not continue to expand after expanding to a certain extent. This was because there were too many creatures around. They could not continue to expand.
However, this group of Memory Keepers did not think so. They wanted to expand their territory and population.
The memory that Lin came into contact with was the memory of one of these 'Memory Hiders' who could be considered a researcher. From this memory, Lin learned about the existence of these blocks, as well as the information and memories contained within, all of this was the result of their thoughts of development at the time.
This was a very, very long time ago …
But it wasn't clear how long it was. In short, the Memory Keepers were researching a plan in the past, which was a plan related to lifespan.
Their lifespan wasn't very long to begin with. To solve this problem, they came up with a plan. That plan was to transfer their 'consciousness' into something that had no lifespan limit.
In other words, they were transferred to machinery.
This was indeed a way to live forever. Furthermore, this would allow them to accumulate a large amount of knowledge. In the end, they would be able to grow stronger and expand their territory, occupying a larger territory in connected worlds.
That was what they thought at the time, so the group of Memory Keepers began to do just that. Together, they invented a device. This device was very complex, and could be said to be the most technologically advanced thing their civilization had ever created.
This device was able to store their 'consciousness'. At the time, they thought that they could obtain a mechanical body and live forever.
Although this group of Memory Keepers was very confident in this device, when the first device was created, none of them were willing to test whether the device could be used or not.
Later, they selected a 'volunteer'. This volunteer was placed on the device, and its consciousness was forcibly input into the mechanical device.
According to their idea, the mechanical device could fuse with their consciousness and then become active.
Lin felt that this device used dream energy, but the Memory Keepers didn't have the concept of dream energy.
However, there was a problem …
They found that the volunteer's consciousness … that is, knowledge, memories, and other information were indeed transmitted to the mechanical device, but the mechanical device didn't gain 'consciousness' as a result.
According to their idea, after the mechanical device fused with the consciousness, its internal system would be 'activated' and then it would become active.
But in fact, it didn't operate on its own. This mechanical device didn't operate, it didn't think, it didn't move, it couldn't do anything at all.
This made the Memory Keepers realize a fact, and that was … the volunteer might have died in vain.
Of course, they didn't give up just like that. The Memory Keepers tried to improve this mechanical device, trying to create a machine that could successfully fuse with the will.
At this time, the Memory Keepers had another group of inventors.
This group of inventors specialized in creating 'intelligent machines'. This technology was very popular among them. They used intelligent machines to do all kinds of things, including fighting. This was a very common thing among the Memory Keepers.
They had been working to make intelligent machines smarter, and at the same time, they also researched weapon technology and other technologies. They mainly supported the development and continuation of the entire group.
The inventors who created intelligent machines and the inventors who created the will-fusing device didn't have much interaction with each other at first, but at some point, they began to come into contact with each other.
They were surprised to find that each other's technology was actually very special, so they decided to learn from each other. In the end, they fused their technology together.
This group of inventors successfully created a new mechanical device, then caught a volunteer and transferred the volunteer's consciousness into the machine.
This time … it was a success.
When the machine moved, they all cheered, and what surprised them even more was that this machine actually had considerable intelligence and could communicate with them.
This meant that they had successfully transferred their consciousness into the machine, and their lifespan would no longer be limited …?
Something must have happened, otherwise, they wouldn't be like this.
According to the inventors, this machine was controlled by the volunteer's will, so its behavior should be the same as the volunteer's.
But in fact, this wasn't the case. The machine's personality was completely different from the volunteer's.
It was better to say that it didn't have any personality at all, but like a newborn cub, curiously observing the surrounding environment. But unlike a cub, the machine had the volunteer's memories and knowledge, but it didn't treat these as its own memories. Instead, it extracted information from them to help it understand the world around it.
Of course, this machine didn't think of itself as a 'Memory Keeper,' but as a new species.
This shocked the inventors.
So they had some disagreements.
Some inventors thought that this thing should be destroyed, and some thought that this machine with intelligence was more useful and could serve them better.
In the end, this thing wasn't destroyed, and the inventors took the initiative to create more of this kind of machine.
These machines grew in number. At first, they could still get along with the Memory Keepers. Those inventors, of course, also added something called a 'limiter' to them to ensure their loyalty and complete control.
The machine didn't show any problems at first.
But at some point, one of the inventors discovered that these machines weren't actually 'separate'.
All the machines created by this fusion method had their consciousness connected together, it could be said that they had a common consciousness.
This inventor discovered this problem through some means, then decided to inform the entire population.
Of course … it also failed, because it couldn't prove how it found out. The only one it believed was its friend.
This friend was also the main character of this memory that Lin saw.
This part was a bit vague, so Lin still didn't know what happened in detail. In short, the number of these AI machines continued to increase, and they eventually learned how to create themselves. In the end, they ruled over the Memory Keeper and did something special to the Memory Keeper.
That is, they forcibly fused all the Memory Keepers with the machine.
But the machine used for the fusion was the first one, the kind that didn't have any reaction after the fusion.
Although it didn't have any reaction, it could still store memories. These cubes that Lin saw in the spare parts battleship were the memories of all the Memory Keepers. They could be said to have been made into 'memory cans' by the intelligent machines and had been placed here ever since. (~^~)
