章節 291: Chapter 291: Gais Star City
What is the core element of Gais Glory?
It allows life to retain emotions during the transition to machinery.
Why is this the case?
Yan Xia speculates that Gais Glory itself is a consciousness controller primarily affecting emotions, and after retaining emotions, individuals are more easily influenced.
Correspondingly, if the managers of the Olive Branch civilization need some machinery, why not create some machines? Why turn life itself into machinery? Isn't that just pointless?
The original purpose of Gais Glory was to maintain the stability of civilization, not to kill all living beings and turn them into a dictatorship.
However, over time, the initial objective seems to have changed.
After probing into the truth, Chu expressed disappointment in his civilization.
Now, Gais Glory enslaves the emotions of all Olive Branch civilization beings, stabilizing the star city, while true development can be done at the core, and after completion, some obsolete technologies will be given to outside star cities.
This is similar to the relationship between kingdoms and principalities, but the connections among star cities of the Olive Branch civilization are closer, and the control of "kingdoms" over "principalities" is stronger.
Such a social structure is certainly beneficial for the stability of civilization, especially under Gais Glory, where betrayal is almost non-existent.
Like beings bound by faith in ancient times.
This is how the Federation understands the full picture of Olive Branch civilization; deeper matters remain unknown.
Yan Xia is indeed betting on that one in ten thousand chance because he believes that one in ten thousand may not be one in ten thousand but rather one hundred percent.
...
Around 1400 years after the Federation generally welcomed Gais Glory and transformed into mechanical life.
1,379,200 sent a life form onto a spaceship.
The spaceship was enormous, measuring 100,000 kilometers long; however, it had no weapons and only a power system within its vast interior; there wasn't even a larger mainframe—the control of this spaceship was Gais Glory.
"You will go to the most beautiful Gais Star City, where you can gaze upon the true form of Gais Glory."
Yan Xia was one of them.
In fact, they were not even the first batch; there were earlier departures.
To prevent further rebellions from star cities, the Olive Branch civilization planned to disrupt all individuals and send them into various star cities so that under more complex conscious influences, their primary consciousness would weaken even further or completely disappear.
The Olive Branch civilization dared to do this because they had immense confidence.
Standing on the spaceship, Yan Xia's memory was wiped clean for a second time; he welcomed new memories—memories of survival within the Olive Branch civilization since birth.
This process continued repeatedly during thousands of years of flight...
After dozens of memory wipes were injected, life would no longer recall anything from before, not even any single detail.
About 7,000 years later, the spaceship finally began to decelerate.
Through Gais Glory, all individuals inside the spaceship looked at the distant star city.
It resembled a flying saucer shape; at its center were several stars bound together—they neither revolved nor rotated but remained absolutely still relative to the entire star city.
These stars were certainly not small stars; they were blue dwarf stars with several times the mass of our sun.
The distance between these blue dwarf stars was quite close; the nearest might be less than 2 million kilometers away while the farthest could be around 5 million kilometers away.
This means that between them could fit another star or two; beyond that there was no space left.
One knows that Mercury is closest to our sun at about 46 million kilometers when it's nearest; thus 2 million kilometers is incredibly close on a cosmic scale—equivalent to one person being only 30 cm away from another. If they faced each other directly, even a slight lean forward could lead to a kiss!
Yet at such close distances, they maintained absolute stability.
This concerns Gais Star City.
Gais Star City does not follow a typical star city model; it resembles dust scattered throughout space forming a flying saucer shape or a galactic disk shape.
It is highly dispersed rather than an integrated whole; each unit is about 100 kilometers long "black coffin," with distances between these unique Olive Branch civilization structures exceeding 100 kilometers apart.
Then billions of these units formed the entire star city—it resembled a true Dyson cloud.
If one calculates the average material density within this entire star city's volume, one arrives at a conclusion: $$5.7 \text{g/cm}^3$$, which is almost equivalent to that of blue dwarfs.
It connects this density together and treats the entire star city as an extension of several stars, making these stars part of a larger "star."
Additionally, gravitational effects keep these stars in some delicate balance.
This balance is too beautiful and spectacular to behold.
The diameter of this entire star city reaches an astonishing $$3027$$ astronomical units; it looks like a galaxy rather than just a star city—it is so vast that what previously seemed like madness to the Federation now appears minuscule in its presence.
When the spaceship changed angles, they finally saw at its center a sphere with an apparent diameter of $$100$$ kilometers—it seemed to be everything's core.
Gais Glory!
Everything originates from there; Yan Xia and all lives aboard this spaceship paid tribute toward that sphere.
"Glory is eternal…"
This is their supreme honor.
The spaceship gradually approached the star city and then began to disintegrate; all lives within quickly completed their connection with Gais Star City's Gais Glory in space.
The disintegrating spaceship became hundreds of black elongated bodies floating silently—everything here seemed insignificant before this entire star city and soon returned to tranquility.
Lives entering Gais Glory were quickly assigned tasks to begin activities.
Their task was maintenance production.
Here's where Gais Glory differs from other star cities' Gais Glory; here's where discussions revolve around producing fresh items—all consciousness would be adopted before being modified according to Olive Branch metals' properties for production.
Regardless if this item exists or not, it will be recorded; then Gais Glory will undergo a reboot cycle where memories belonging to this item will be erased—it will continue discussing producing new items.
Such cycles continue endlessly without an endpoint.
Perhaps this is indeed Gais Glory's correct method; Yan Xia does not know—he is one among them providing his thoughts for Gais Glory. He cheers for his ideas being adopted and feels enthusiasm for creating things from other life ideas.
Those around him from Olive Branch civilization show no discontent whatsoever.
He is one with Olive Branch civilization!
