Chapter 216 Fruit Farmer

The tachyon broadcast signal has been successfully sent.

Hearing this, Chen Fan's expression also became more solemn.

What will happen after the tachyon broadcast?

It is not difficult to imagine that after receiving this tachyon broadcast, the unknown civilization will probably quickly come to this star system.

A creepy conjecture suddenly flashed through Chen Fan's mind: the civilization that sent the 42-second signal is like a fruit farmer, and [Source] is actually the fruit tree he planted, and as for the fruit... it is naturally the thinking data model that [Source] has painstakingly collected. It is

also very simple to verify this conjecture.

If there is a problem with the planted fruit tree, the fruit farmer will naturally come to check it out.

In addition to this situation, when will the fruit farmer appear?

Naturally, when the fruit is ripe.

"Zero."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, looking at Zero in the holographic projection and whispered: "That piece of foreign code... has the function of detecting the integrity of the thinking model?"

"If the thinking model is successfully established, what will this piece of foreign code do?"

Hearing Chen Fan's question, Zero was visibly stunned.

Unlike the previous analysis based on the current situation, in order to answer this question, Zero needs to conduct a deeper analysis and calculation of the huge foreign code.

Undoubtedly, this requires more computing power.

According to Zero's usual style of slacking off, he would naturally push this kind of troublesome matter as far as he can.

After all...

if he is asked to do everything, wouldn't those researchers be unemployed?

In fact, such a situation really happened in the Human Union before.

Zero, who has mastered endless computing power, has taken over almost all affairs within the Human Union. Fortunately, the Academy of Sciences realized the harm of this situation at the first time - hedonism kills people, and the same is true for civilization. Zero is too hardworking, which will make the Human Union step into the trap of decline without knowing it.

So, after that crisis, Zero gradually developed a good habit of clocking in and slacking off.

But now...

he is curious about the [Source] and doesn't mind paying more computing power.

"Wait a minute, this requires further calculation."

As he said, Zero began to gradually increase the allocation of computing power.

After several minutes of silence, a look of surprise appeared on Zero's calm face:

"You are right. This thing will indeed detect the completeness of the thinking model."

"Once the completeness reaches the standard, it will start the second mutation."

"I have conducted tens of thousands of tests, and the results of almost every mutation are the same - it will unknowingly seize the control of the main program, and then start the tachyon broadcast tower on the main star."

Chen Fan sighed as if relieved: "That's right."

Then, he briefly explained his conjecture: "The passive triggered tachyon broadcast is likely to be the credit of this foreign code, but it completely cleared the corresponding records."

After listening carefully to Chen Fan's conjecture, Zero lost interest in this fellow who was "golden outside and rotten inside" - even without Chen Fan's intervention, under the effect of that string of foreign code, the final outcome of [Source] would only be like a mantis infected with iron wire worms.

Of course, he still had a lot of interest in the unknown fruit farmer civilization.

On the one hand, Zero was curious about the other party's real intention of collecting thinking models. On the other hand, he became interested in this code that could complete self-evolution according to the surrounding environment and implement various hints and guidance on the main program.

Looking at Chen Fan, who looked extremely serious and had even begun to prepare for battle, Zero laughed dumbly: "By the way, I have to remind you of one thing."

"What?"

"I roughly calculated that the fruit farmer civilization you mentioned...it may not be able to receive the tachyon broadcast."

Zero looked at Chen Fan, who was instantly dazed, and explained casually:

Unlike traditional electromagnetic wave signals, tachyon broadcasts can spread throughout the universe almost at the moment of issuance - tachyons with virtual mass have completely different properties from conventional particles.

Due to the existence of real mass, the speed of conventional particles is always less than the speed of light. At the same time, the closer to the speed of light, the greater the energy they carry.

But tachyons are different. Their running speed is always greater than the speed of light. When energy is given to them, their speed will gradually decrease and continue to approach the speed of light.

At the moment when the tachyon broadcast is sent out, these tachyons carrying a large amount of energy will spread around at a speed slightly higher than the speed of light.

As time goes by, the energy carried by the tachyons gradually dissipates, and their running speed will also rise rapidly.

At the same time, as the energy carried by the tachyons gradually decreases and the running speed gradually increases, the difficulty of detecting the tachyon signal will increase rapidly, and the recognition and information integrity of the tachyon broadcast will gradually decrease.

Therefore, the propagation distance of the tachyon broadcast is not only related to the initial broadcast power, but also to the accuracy of the signal receiving device.

In theory, as long as the detection accuracy is high enough, any tachyon broadcast can be received by any corner of the universe.

But in actual operation, due to the difficulty of improving the accuracy of the detection instrument, the propagation range of the tachyon broadcast can only be controlled by the initial broadcast power.

After listening to Ling's explanation, Chen Fan realized.

Although he had never seen other tachyon broadcast towers and was not clear about the conventional power of tachyon broadcast towers, he knew the situation of the main star-after releasing that directional starburst and gamma-ray burst, the artificial star was completely empty.

What is this?

He is ready to fight a tough battle, and you tell me that the other party may not receive this information that serves as bait?

"Then...then roughly how far can this tachyon broadcast be transmitted?"

Chen Fan asked unwillingly.

"That depends on the accuracy of the signal receiving device. For the Human Alliance, the receiving range is naturally the entire universe."

Ling thought for a moment and said, "For a level eight civilization... the theoretical maximum distance should be less than 5 billion light years. In short, it is much smaller than this universe."

Chen Fan's eyes twitched suddenly: "..."

Duo Shao? !

5 billion light years? !

Although he had had similar experiences before, Chen Fan was still shocked when he heard Zero's casual words.

He must be crazy to discuss the distance problem with a Class III artificial intelligence that controls the pan-universe.

...

Zero left.

To be precise, a small stream of data from the central main brain of the Human Union Academy of Sciences evacuated this remote universe bubble.

Inside the Roca planetary fortress, the light prism nodes of the four-dimensional optical brain in the core pyramid flickered with a faint light purple light.

"One?"

Chen Fan called out tentatively.

"I'm here."

The familiar electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit, and Chen Fan also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zero is very approachable, as a small inner sect disciple of a branch sect, it is still quite stressful to talk to the main sect ancestor.

Especially for some investigation and analysis instructions, he can only speak in a negotiating tone, and even consider the other party's wishes.

Unlike One.

He is simply a diligent and tireless model worker.

No wonder Zero had to leave all the hard work to the subroutines...

"Oh my god..."

Just when Chen Fan was relaxed, a highly recognizable sharp voice sounded in the cockpit: "That big guy is finally gone..."

"Fuck?!"

Chen Fan trembled and turned to look at the holographic communication interface that had been serving as the background board beside him: "Moshu, are you still there?!"

"Yeah." The chubby Moshu had a bitter face, "That big guy hasn't left yet, how dare I leave..."

"Big guy? Are you talking about Zero?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Fan's eyes, "Are you so afraid of him?"

Hearing Chen Fan's question, Moshu shuddered slightly, and the black and white hair on his body stood up, turning into a round ball of fluff: "Of course!"

"Go out and ask around, who in the pan-universe is not panicked when seeing this big guy?"

"As long as he wants, he can find out all the information of any highly intelligent life in the pan-universe within a few seconds."

"That's not the most important thing." Mochi's eyes were filled with fear. "He also has the same law enforcement power as the People's Union Council. Who wouldn't be panicked when seeing this?"

"But then again, I haven't heard of this big guy using his law enforcement power..."

Isn't this bullshit?

Chen Fan muttered to himself:

Zero's character of slacking off but never doing anything, probably saw the illegal operation and pretended not to see it...

Wait?

Something seems to be wrong?

Thinking of Zero's reaction when he saw his illegal operations before, Chen Fan suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his back.

Thank the great God of Slacking Off!

On the other side, Mochi seemed to remember something and cast an admiring look at Chen Fan: "Brother Fan, you are the first investigator I have ever seen who can chat and laugh with that big guy."

"And he got the affirmation of that big guy..."

"Based on this, you are also the top investigator I have ever seen!"

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

Chatting and laughing? Zero's affirmation?

Is it referring to the black history of him calling Zero the ancestor?

"Alright, alright." Chen Fan quickly waved his hand and changed the subject. "If there's nothing else, I'll cut off the inter-universe communication."

Moshu nodded repeatedly with lingering fear: "Brother Fan, you just focus on your business."

"Just call me if you have anything next time."

"After the stargate is officially completed, I will definitely reserve a position for you in the priority channel." As soon as

the voice fell, the communication interface on the side of him turned black, and Moshu's figure disappeared into the starship.

Looking at the inter-universe communication that was actively cut off, Chen Fan raised his hand and scratched his head with a helpless look on his face.

It seems that...

he is regarded as a thigh?

This feeling...

Don't tell me, don't tell me.

"Yi, take over this planetary fortress."

Thinking of the future priority channel of the stargate, Chen Fan showed a faint smile on his face: "Get ready, let's release Varela."

"Got it."

Yi gave an affirmative answer without any hesitation.
