With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 216 Fruit Farmers
The tachyon broadcast signal has been successfully sent.

After hearing this, Chen Fan's expression became a little more solemn.

What happens after a tachyon broadcast?
It is not difficult to imagine that after receiving this tachyon broadcast, the unknown civilization may quickly come to this star system.

A chilling conjecture suddenly flashed through Chen Fan's mind: The civilization that sent out the 42-second signal was like a fruit farmer, and [Source] was actually the fruit tree he planted. As for the fruit... naturally it was [Source] who spent all his time. A mental data model of mind collection.

It is also very simple to verify this conjecture.

If there is a problem with the planted fruit trees, the fruit growers will naturally come to check.

Apart from this situation, when else will fruit farmers show up?
Naturally when the fruit is ripe.

"zero."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, looked at Zero in the holographic projection and asked in a low voice: "Does that foreign code... have the function of testing the integrity of the thinking model?"

"If the mental model is successfully established, how will this foreign code react?"

Hearing Chen Fan's inquiry, Ling was visibly stunned.

Different from the previous analysis based on the current situation, in order to answer this question, Zero needs to conduct a more in-depth analysis and calculation of the huge foreign code.

There is no doubt that this requires more computing power.

According to Zero's consistent fishing style, he naturally pushed as far as he could to deal with such troubles.

after all……

If he was asked to do everything, wouldn't those researchers be unemployed?

In fact, this kind of situation actually happened in the People's Federation in the past.

Zero, who has mastered endless computing power, has almost taken over all affairs within the People's Federation. Fortunately, the Academy of Sciences immediately realized the dangers of this situation - hedonism kills people, and the same is true for civilization. Zero is too hard-working, but instead It will lead people to step into the trap of recession without even realizing it.

So, after that crisis, Zero gradually developed a good habit of clocking in to work on time and catching fish.

but now……

His curiosity was aroused by [Source] and he didn't mind spending more computing power.

"Wait a moment, this requires further calculations."

With that said, Zero began to gradually increase the allocation of computing power.

After several minutes of silence, there was a look of surprise on Ligujing Fubo's face:
"You're really right. This thing will indeed test the completeness of the mental model."

"Once the integrity reaches the standard, it will start to mutate for the second time."

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

Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief: "That's right."

Then, he briefly explained his conjecture: "That passively triggered tachyon broadcast is probably also the result of this foreign code, but it completely erased the corresponding records."

After carefully listening to Chen Fan's conjecture, Zero lost interest in this kind of "gold and jade outside but ruined inside" - even without Chen Fan's intervention, under the influence of the string of foreign codes, the final outcome of [Source] will only be... Like a mantis infected with iron worms.

Of course, he is still very interested in the unknown fruit farmer civilization.

On the one hand, Zero was more curious about the other party's true intention of collecting mental models. On the other hand, he became interested in this kind of 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 the battle, Ling couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, I have to remind you something."

"what?"

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

Ling looked happily at Chen Fan, who fell into a daze for a moment, and explained casually:

Unlike traditional electromagnetic wave signals, tachyon broadcasts can spread throughout the entire universe almost the instant they are emitted - 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.

The moment a tachyon broadcast is emitted, 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 tachyons gradually dissipates, and their speed increases rapidly.

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

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

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

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

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

Although he has not seen other tachyon broadcast towers and does not know the conventional power of tachyon broadcast towers, he knows the situation of the main star - after releasing the directional starburst and gamma ray burst, the artificial The star is completely gone.

what is this?
He is ready for a tough battle. Are you telling me that the other party may not receive this bait message?
"Then...how far can this tachyon broadcast be transmitted?"

Chen Fan asked reluctantly.

"This depends on the accuracy of the signal receiving device. For the People's Union, the receiving range is naturally the entire universe."

Zero thought for a moment: "For an eighth-level civilization...the theoretical maximum distance should be less than five billion light years. In short, it is much smaller than this universe."

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

Take less? !
Five billion light years? ! Although he had had similar experiences before, Chen Fan still felt shocked when he heard Ling's understatement.

He was really crazy to discuss distance issues with a Level III artificial intelligence that controlled the territory of the pan-universe.

……

Zero left.

To be precise, it was a small stream of data from the central mastermind of the Academy of Humanities that evacuated this remote space bubble.

Within the Loka Planet Fortress, the light prism nodes of the four-dimensional light brain in the core pyramid shone with a faint light purple light.

"one?"

Chen Fan made a tentative call.

"I'm here."

A familiar electronic synthesized sound sounded in the cockpit, and Chen Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ling is very approachable, as a disciple of a small branch sect, talking to the ancestor of the main sect is still quite stressful.

Especially for some investigation and analysis instructions, he could only speak in a consultative tone, and even had to consider the other party's wishes.

Not like one.

He is simply a conscientious and tireless model worker.

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

"What the hell……"

Just when Chen Fan was relaxing, a highly recognizable sharp voice sounded in the cockpit: "The big boss is finally gone..."

"What the hell?!"

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

"Yes." The chubby Mochi said with a bitter look on his face, "The big boss hasn't left yet, how dare I leave..."

"Boss? You mean Zero?" Chen Fan's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Are you so afraid of him?"

Hearing Chen Fan's question, Mochi shuddered slightly, and the black and white fluff on his body stood up and turned into a round pompom: "Of course!"

"Go out and ask around. Who in the pan-universe doesn't panic when they see this big boss?"

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

"That's not the most important thing." Mochi's eyes showed a bit of panic, "He also has the same law enforcement power as the People's Federation Council. Who wouldn't panic after seeing this?"

"But then again, I have never heard of this big boss using his law enforcement powers..."

Isn’t this horse riding nonsense nonsense?

Chen Fan muttered secretly in his heart:

With Zero's temperament of being able to catch fish but never doing anything, he probably pretended not to have seen any illegal operations when he saw them...

and many more?

Something seems not quite right?
Thinking of Zero's reaction when he saw his illegal operations, Chen Fan suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.

Thank you to the great fishing god!
On the other side, Mochi seemed to have remembered something and cast an admiring look at Chen Fan: "Brother Fan, you are the first investigator I have ever seen who can talk and laugh with that big shot."

"And I got the approval from the big boss..."

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

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

Talking and laughing? Zero certainty?
Is he referring to the dark history in which he called Zero his ancestor?
"Okay, okay." Chen Fan quickly waved his hand and changed the topic, "If there is nothing else, I will cut off the cross-universe communication."

Mochi nodded repeatedly with lingering fear: "Brother Fan, just be busy with your business."

"Next time if you need anything, just call me."

"After the Star Gate is officially completed, I will definitely reserve the priority passage position for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the communication interface beside him went dark, and Mochi's figure disappeared into the starship.

Looking at the cross-universe communication that was actively cut off, Chen Fan raised his hand and scratched his head helplessly.

seemingly……

Is he being used as a thigh?
This feeling...

Don't say it, really don't say it.

"One, take over this planetary fortress."

Thinking of the future star gate priority channel, a faint smile appeared on Chen Fan's face: "Get ready, let's release Varela Star."

"receive."

Without any hesitation, Yi directly answered in the affirmative.
