BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91 - 91: The Voyager
The Milky Way was boiling.
Whether it was the idealistic civilization, the materialistic civilization, or even the Curator City which was only interested in collecting technology, all of them had their eyes on the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation.
On Mingbow’s home planet, every advertisement screen was playing an interview video.
“May I ask our greatest genius, Synthetic, how did you accomplish this feat?”
“You did it so easily? In other words, the consciousness is converted into data and then transmitted to the prepared mechanical body. This is an immortal body. It’s easy to understand, right?”
“Uh… You’re right. What do you think of this matter?”
“Of course, this is something that benefits everyone. Why should we be limited by the limitations of our bodies? After becoming a mechanical body, diseases and decay will leave us. The only thing left is wisdom and efficiency!”
“I’m not talented, but I’m lucky enough to be the first person to eat crabs. I’ve decided to name this great cause Synthetic Evolution to show my achievements.”
The materialistic civilizations were shocked by this matter, but their evaluation was still noncommittal.
However, it was different for idealistic civilizations.
“What a sin, what a sin! Why do you want to give up the wonderful body that the heavens have given you? Isn’t this completely cutting off your path of ascension?” An elder of the Duncan Race cried out in pain, his expression full of sorrow.
However, more people were indifferent and indignant.
“Evolution? Hehe, a lunatic who committed suicide used a preset program to create the illusion that he is still alive. How dare they laugh at us? Can he still call for help in his situation?”
“This is the most unscientific behavior. This host in the mechanical body is just a program. It can’t be called consciousness. It’s just that this mechanical body thinks that he’s still alive. Can he still be him?”
The Duncan Race, which had a vague desire to become the leader of the idealistic civilization, immediately announced that the mechanical lifeform, who called himself Synthetic, would be added to their blacklist. At the same time, they issued a secret bounty for the interstellar bounty hunters who had no fixed residence to destroy the machine.
The other idealistic civilizations also announced that they were forbidding Synthetic from entering the country, as if they were jointly punishing him.
In addition to these civilizations, the few ordinary artificial intelligence civilizations in the Milky Way also paid some attention to this matter.
“A jumbled metal block that attempted to imitate the efficiency of a real machine has been determined to have lost its value as a bio-battery.”
“Low-efficiency hardware, outdated circuits, no reference value, does not meet the accessibility standards.”
“Conflict, error, contradiction, error-we need to re-establish the judgment agreement.”
“It still retained the idiotic nature of an organism, a low-end machine.”

The artificial intelligence civilizations also had their own views on this matter. Some were friendly, some were disdainful, and some were hostile. It was hard to say whether they recognized it as a ‘mechanical life’.
However, the lost empire did not react to such a small matter. They might not even know that this had happened in the Milky Way.
The Watcher and the Voyager were still in the brewing stage, while the Observer and the Silent were still minding their own business.
However, the Administrator and the Mediator, who was thought to be the most likely to pay attention to this matter, did not react at all.
Gray Wind saw this, but in her eyes, it was just a creature that had changed from one single form to another single form irreversibly. There was nothing interesting about it.
If she could switch between the two forms freely, she might be able to get some attention.
As for Li Wcnyuan, he was busy with something big. He had no time to care about the trivial matter of a creature uploading its consciousness to a mechanical body.
If an entire civilization was like this, it would probably pique his interest.
At this moment, Li Wenyuan’s main focus was on the Beacon of Perpetuity circular world. He thought that he could not find any more stories there, but he actually found the broken mental network left behind by the destroyed species!
Although the database that stored the thought network had been largely destroyed, the attackers might not have thought that the individuals who had completed the synthetic evolution had retained a portion of the tinder in this way.
Even though they had carefully cleaned up every inch of this world, there were still some places that they had not noticed.
This species that had completed synthetic evolution knew the behavior patterns of their former compatriots too well. They understood their psychology very well and left their tinder in the places that their compatriots thought were completely damaged.
That place was covered by countless robot fragments that looked like corpses. Although it was still severely damaged, it could still be accessed.
After connecting to it, Li Wenyuan realized that it was a data vault that kept some dormant mental networks and memories.
He could extract these thought networks and memories, then transplant them into the mechanical body, and try to awaken these ancient consciousnesses.
But before doing that, he checked the contents of the memory first.
It was all data, so he could easily check it without leaving any traces or damage.
Finally, he saw the story that happened here.
[I’m a Voyager, or should I say we’re Voyagers.]
[We are not a format tower race, but our supreme beliefs and pursuits allow us to have a collective sense of identity comparable to format tower.]
[The Enlightened Ones made us understand the vastness of the starry sky. The gifts they gave us also helped us quickly establish ourselves in the starry sky.]
[Even if we don’t know their exact existence, we still have reverence for the Enlightened Ones.]
[So, imitating what we call them, we call ourselves the Voyager. This name means we follow in their footsteps and walk towards a future that is even further away.]
[We sincerely hope that we can do great things like the Enlightened Ones, so after a fierce debate, we decided to walk the path of synthetic evolution.]
[We will place our consciousness in an eternal machine so that it will not decay over a long period of time. Even if we aren’t as powerful as the Enlightened Ones, we still want to pursue them, even if it will take billions of years.]
[But we were wrong. Our social level and individual consciousness are not worthy of using cutting-edge technology.]
[We think that we are one, and we also think that we are all noble, but in fact, there are many more people who don’t want to improve and are hedonists.]
[After we abandoned our bodies, we realized that we only had a small group of individuals. The others had lied to us.]
[They don’t want to do such a thankless thing. They want to enjoy endless entertainment with their bodies.]
[They slandered us as an artificial intelligence rebel, and started a purge of evil robots like us.]
[In the end, we retreated to this Beacon of Perpetuity. While facing the attacks of the opposing ideologies, we defended against the backstabs of our former comrades.]
[Purpose and deception, greed and desire are the most common things in the
Milky Way. Great causes are only a few in the end.. Enlightened Ones, if you see this scene, will you regret what you’ve done?]
