Chapter 479 Raising Children to Provide for Old Age (4k)

"Retirement?"

"Yes, that's what retirement is all about, at least that's what God says to those who have reached the end of their lifespan."

"It seems the truth has come out..."

"Yes, who would have thought that the final producer would be killed mentally by that AI called 'Sun Jack'... I'm starting to doubt whether he's even an AI anymore. Thanks to these law enforcement agencies, both Earths have maintained their current appearance."

The spirits discussed quietly around the remains of the final producer for a long time, with only occasional flashes of light indicating that their hearts were not at peace.

late at night.

The other six lightships arrived one after another from hundreds of light-years away.

The rescue team of the Lamp Spirit Civilization has finally reunited. Ten light ships drift in the sky, like ten bright suns, illuminating the city in darkness.

Countless Sun Jacks raised their heads and looked at the 'ten suns' in the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Beneath these 'ten days' are a thousand lamp spirits.

The lamp spirits floated above the corpse of the final father, illuminating the courtyard.

One of the little lamp spirits flipped through the star map and lit it up to all the lamp spirits:
"Is everyone here? Now let me explain the current situation."

Little Lamp Spirit: "With this planet as the origin, there are a total of 520,000 stars within a range of 200 light-years, of which there are 470,000 star systems. Among these 470,000 star systems, there are a total of six Earths."

The little lamp spirit played a video for everyone to see the detailed star map it had downloaded from the carbon-based federation database.

Among these 47 star systems, the star systems containing six Earths have been clearly identified, and some of these star systems contain two Earths.

The little lamp spirit continued, "This star field, named 'Au34' by the Federation, is located in the inner region of the Orion Arm. It has two characteristics. First, it is a secondary spiral arm with relatively sparse stars, belonging to a branch of the first spiral arm (Perseus Arm)."

Secondly, this location is approximately 40,000 light-years from the Milky Way's galactic sphere, situated in the outer spiral region of the Milky Way's galactic disk. It is neither far from the dense stellar region of the galactic center nor close to the galactic edge, resulting in a sparse distribution of stars. Therefore, all six Earth-orbiting systems possess a relatively stable cosmic environment.

The little lamp spirit looked at all the lamp spirits: "In short, this is indeed a suitable place to retire. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the Silver Heart, but not too deserted. It is like the suburbs of a city... It is really suitable for the elderly."

The lamp spirits flickered in and out, as if they were whispering secrets.

"They really know how to pick a location..."

Why would God choose to retire here?

"If God is willing to stay in the Silver Sphere, the Federation will certainly give God a wonderful old age..."

"Alas, civilizations that do not become gods will always grow old, not materially, but spiritually."

"But now it seems that there are probably not many nursing homes left in these six Earths, and if this star system doesn't have ships to pull the line, it won't be long before it becomes two-dimensional... What should we do?"

"The Federation is too busy fighting the Silicon Empire to care about God. If they don't care, we Lamp Spirits will!" a wise Lamp Spirit declared.

"Exactly! Grandparents love their grandchildren! The gods must really adore us little lamp spirits!"

"But... how do we manage it?"

“Go to them along the route God took when he left.”

"You looked, and then what?"

"Take them to the old home of the Lamp Spirit Civilization to retire!"

The lamp spirits shone with a hundred different lights, and said all sorts of things.

"Don't shine your lights randomly, listen to me."

The little lamp lit up, trying to interrupt the noise, and finally, all the lights went dark and quieted down.

The small lamp, only half the size of the other lamp spirits, continued its explanation:
"The first star system is Delta Librae, which has seven planets. It is a beautiful star system handpicked by God, and has two habitable planets: Ocean Earth, also known as [Earth the Fifth], and the malfunctioning utopia Earth, also known as [Earth the First].

Having learned about the planet's history, the Lamp Spirits removed the name 'End Producer' and changed it to 'Faulty Utopia,' which they then reported to the Federation Civilization Information Database.

"The second star system is Alpha Lyrae, a single star system with five planets, including a giant habitable planet. This is a giant Earth with a diameter of over 5 kilometers, and it is also one of God's retirement planets, namely the 'Second Earth'."

"The third star system is Mu Gemini, which consists of two stable main-sequence stars and has six planets, including two habitable planets, namely [Earth 3] and [Earth 4]."

"The fourth star system is the Solar System. Although all six Earths call their star systems 'Solar System,' according to the official data of the Carbon-Based Federation, there is only one true Solar System, which is the Solar System 199.5 light-years away. It is an extremely rare treasure star system composed of nine planets, including near-Earth planets, gas giants, ice giants, the inner asteroid belt, and the outer asteroid belt. It has almost all forms of planets, as well as several dwarf planets. The outermost planets even have their own satellite rings. The outermost layer is surrounded by a spherical nebula with a radius of two light-years. The youngest 'little brother' resides in the orbit of the third planet, which is [Sixth Earth]. It even has a lovely satellite."

The little lamp spirit's story ends here.

Almost instantly, all the lamp spirits' attention was drawn to the Sixth Earth.

Wow, so many planets, an asteroid belt, nebulous matter, gas giants, and even planets with their own satellite rings? How beautiful this star system must be!

The lamp spirits retracted their previous statement.

God, you really know how to enjoy life!

After the little lamp spirit finished speaking.

Ten golden lamps floated into the sky, shining solemnly:

“Lamp spirits, according to the information left by God, we know that the four older ‘brother civilizations’—the first, second, third, and fourth Earths—started very early and hatched tens of thousands of years ago, all entering the interstellar civilization stage. However, because they did not master the technology of traveling at the speed of light, they were all trapped in the low-speed space travel stage, with the highest travel speed not even reaching 0.1 times the speed of light.”

"And from the information we learned from the AI ​​'Sun Jack,' we also know that these six Earths not only know each other's relative positions, but the first, second, and third Earths are also in a state of protracted war. The relative distance between these three Earths is within 30 light-years, and multiple interstellar wars have broken out over a long period of time."

"As for the outcome of the war, we'll have to go to other Earths to find out."

"The Earths are killing each other. For example, although the first Earth civilization has perished, it still has a purely mechanical fleet that is splitting into two groups and flying towards the second and third Earths at 1% of the speed of light, intending to kill its two younger brothers. And the two younger brothers are very likely doing the same thing."

"The only good news is that we have not detected any stellar-mass electromagnetic waves in the nearby universe, which means that the Earthlings are not aware of the Dark Forest Law, but their struggle is actually a microcosm of the Dark Forest War."

"As for the Fifth Earth, we already know that it has been killed by my brother."

As for Mu Gemini, Earth 4 will likely suffer the same fate, possibly being destroyed by the more developed Earth 3. We'll have to go there and see for ourselves. The only good news is that Earth 6, being 199.5 light-years away, has temporarily escaped being slaughtered by its "brothers."

But the refugee ship from Earth One has already passed by, and during the migration process, it traveled at 1% of the speed of light for 20,000 planetary revolution years. Judging by the time, it's probably almost there. "When I heard the news that the refugee ship from Earth One was about to fly to Earth Six..."

The spirits were in an uproar once again.

The ten golden lamp spirits joined forces to emit a powerful light, which once again subdued the chaotic lights below.

“Lamp spirits, according to the information provided by ‘Sun Jack’, all six Earths were sown by God as amino acid seeds 370,000 galactic years (37 billion Earth years) ago. In other words, not only are the ocean Earth and the final producer Earth of the same origin, but the other four Earths are also of the same origin. God did this for the purpose of providing for the elderly.”

"God hopes to cultivate a primitive race of gods, that is, humans, to comfort the gods in their old age. In the past, the whereabouts of the gods in the Carbon-Based Federation have always been a mystery, but now the mystery will soon be solved by the Lamp Spirits."

"Our discovery will inevitably bring the Lamp Spirit civilization into the spotlight of countless civilizations. This may not be a good thing for the weak Lamp Spirits, but we must do it. We cannot ignore the fact that the retirement home where the gods reside has been destroyed by two-dimensionalization or vacuum decay..."

Among them, Golden Lantern B shouted, "Even the Festival Tribe's Gagarin can't stop us!"

The golden lanterns flashed in unison: "Even the Festival Tribe's Gagarin can't stop us!"

A thousand lanterns lit up in unison, shouting, "Even the Festival Clan's Gagarin can't stop us!"

While the lamp spirits boosted morale.

More than two hundred years ago.

Eridanus, Equatorial Ring Ridge Eridanus Space Development Center.

The 'Xia' in the sky has completed its 5-hour space journey and is now in the return phase, about to fall into the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Gagarin, disguised as a Pojangite, is chatting with "Iwa," the chief engineer of the Pojang Civilization Aerospace Development Base.

"Chief Engineer Yan, may I tell a joke to celebrate this great moment?"

"That's what Gagarin, a handyman at the space center, said."

"What's your joke?" Yan asked with a smile in his sea of ​​thoughts.

“I am an alien. You can call me... Gagarin. I came to Eridanus for research. My interest is in the important festivals of Eridanus.”

"Oh?" Yan's smile widened. "So, have you achieved anything?"

Just as Gagarin was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the little trinket he had secretly stuck on the lightship, which was emitting a faint light and happened to transmit this scene of the lamp spirits into his mind in real time.

Gagarin's smile froze.

Yan asked in confusion, "Sir?"

...

The courtyard of the final producer.

"Currently, all we know is that God's retirement fleet once stayed on the First Earth for a period of time, but was deceived by the End Producers and tricked out of a large amount of technical data, and then kicked the old Gods out."

"Based on their flight paths, the gods must have headed straight for the second Earth."

"There's no need to hesitate. The second Earth is located on Alpha Lyrae, which is 37 light-years away. Let's go! If we can't find the gods on the second Earth, then we'll go find the third Earth, one by one! We'll keep searching until we find the last Earth!"

The spirits responded with a roar and then all boarded the lightship.

However, just as the spirits were about to leave, the law enforcement units in the atmosphere formed neat rows of words.

Before you leave, could you do me one last small favor?

Is it the AI ​​of this Earth, 'Sun Jieke'?
Ten lightships emitted synchronized visible light: [You say]

Please take care of all the [law enforcement units] for me, both on Earth... Thank you.

The lightships replied in unison: "As far as I know, these two law enforcement units scattered across Earth have actually formed a network for the First Earth. As the AI, if you lose all the law enforcement units, you will disintegrate the moment the network is severed. Moreover, without the constraints of the [law enforcement units], this Earth city of the final producer will weather away completely within hundreds of years, becoming a primitive planet."

At this moment, a robotic figurine named Sun Jack walked into the square, raised his head, and shouted at the ten suns in the sky.

"It's alright! I've already downloaded it into this body! I'm all prepared for this! Let nature return!"

"This decaying world has been frozen for a full 20,000 years. Let it die completely, for only through death can there be new life."

soon.

More and more Sun Jacks stepped down from the various AI figurine stands in the city. They stood on the city's unchanging streets and shouted in unison at the ten departing suns in the sky, "Only through death can there be rebirth!" In the end, they formed a sea of ​​sound, which made the flames of the lamp spirits sway uncontrollably.

The lamp spirits fell silent for a moment.

Turn on the lights

Ten lightships blazed with light, and trillions upon trillions of law enforcement units, like germs encountering ultraviolet light, solidified into a cloud of silver-gray dust that plummeted down. The rapid annihilation of law enforcement units in the atmosphere quickly restored the free flow of air. Then came the ocean, the soil, and even the law enforcement units within animals and plants were not spared. The lights pierced through the gaps between every atom, precisely wiping out all the law enforcement units.

The world is regaining its vitality under this warm light.

One of the lightships jumped directly to the neighboring Fifth Earth, emitting light to cleanse the hellish world of the germs called 'Order'. Acidic oceans and nuclear wastelands alike, it was time for them to disappear.

With the disappearance of the law enforcement unit, the ultimate legal principle of "the sanctity of personal property" that led to the demise of civilization also became invalid with the destruction of the law enforcement unit.

Law, civilization, morality, finance, capital...

Everything disappeared, and everything lost its meaning.

The remains of the eternally immortal progenitor will, from this moment on, also begin the process of weathering.

All Lightships: [Your city will be completely weathered away in about 500 years. Since your civilization no longer has a single human cell to replicate, we cannot help you rebuild your human civilization system. And you low-tech machines will eventually perish due to the cumulative effect of errors in your electronic components. This won't be long.]

"So much the better."

Sun Jieke revealed his neat white teeth as he smiled.

"Life will always find a way out."
