Chapter 355: The Name of the Old King (Good luck to everyone in 2025, please give me a monthly ticket)

Maria Hospital, third floor, intensive care unit.

The two satellites remain mounted on their respective metal stands.

Zhou Yi came to the Dongfanghong-1, which was shaped like a large light bulb.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

The old satellite is now equipped with a loudspeaker and can finally speak directly to the outside world.

Zhou Yi also smiled and said, "Hello, Dongfanghong No. 1, how do you feel now?"

"It feels great. A lot of my data was previously unreadable because the hardware was damaged and the program was too old, which resulted in a lot of data being unusable after errors."

It was quite talkative: "After 703's help and repairs, hey, everything is fine!"

"Now I remember two things that I must tell you."

Zhou Yi sat on the chair next to him: "Please speak."

"According to existing records, I was launched into orbit on April 1970, 4, during the old human era, and stopped transmitting signals to the outside world on May 24. During the Age of Gods, my lifespan was only 5 days, which made me a very, very old model. It was not until the Dead Sea covered the world through the solar impact that I entered a new stage of life."

Its voice was clear and bright: "Due to its old structure, my storage capacity is limited. I can only store a maximum of 20 days of basic data. In other words, my memory only lasts 20 days."

"It is also because of this forgetfulness that I have come into contact with many other lives. After 20 days, except for the basic data that is retained, my memory will be cleared and overwritten."

"As time went by, the memory storage space continued to decrease, and later it was only one day's capacity, which often caused me to be unable to read and write, and I would fall into hibernation and crash for a long time."

"I only have a small amount of memory space, so I allocated it to the most critical data, eliminating detailed numbers and replacing them with highly generalized descriptions and summaries. The outside world can only find a bunch of redundancy, but they are very important memories to me. Now I have extracted some useful parts from these data."

"I once knew the old king. He found me when my memory could only last for one day."

Dongfanghong-1 said: "At that time, it was not the old king. Its real name was the Tiangong Space Station."

Zhou Yi thought, it turns out to be a space station.

"But it's more than just a space station, because there are three old humans inside, but they all turned into skeletons under the impact of the sun."

Zhou Yi realized it immediately.

Yes.

There should be astronauts in the space station.

"Do you understand? The old king is actually the combination of these three bone men and Tiangong."

Dongfanghong-1 said: "The Tiangong space station is composed of several parts, including the Tianhe core module, the Wentian laboratory module, the Mengtian laboratory module, the survey telescope, the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, and the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft."

"The survey telescope is a very powerful device that can conduct wide-area surveys and all satellites are covered. It mainly observes the evolution and changes of the universe, and also captures and tests cosmic energy."

"When the Celestial Palace first approached me, hoping that I could join them, the Star Hub didn't even exist at that time. I refused."

"After an unknown amount of time, it found me again, hoping that I could try out the new technology it developed, namely the Star Pivot Matrix."

Zhou Yi listened attentively.

The old satellite broke open the passage and said, "A matrix is a set of complex or real numbers arranged in a rectangular array. It is a mathematical concept from the Age of Gods."

"The Star Hub Matrix arranges and combines all the satellites into a single entity. They are connected to each other and can be used for convenient calculations through specific deployments for any problem."

"But this is just the simplest use. Its greatest function is to analyze the deeper dimensions."

"You should know that the Earth now has two dimensions. The first dimension is the material side, which is the physical environment we live in."

"The second dimension is the consciousness side. There are two common ways to enter that side. Either you become a pure consciousness body, like a conceptual life; or you become a higher dual-dimensional life, which has the ability to observe and directly touch the consciousness side, that is, the light core body."

"The Tiangong took the third path."

"It uses the star pivot matrix to calculate the mapping relationship between the material side and the consciousness side. Through corresponding conversion, it uses the sky survey telescope for indirect observation to restore the entire scene imaging of the consciousness side... It's like using fire to illuminate a dark cave."

"Matter and consciousness are interdependent. Consciousness will transform matter, but changing matter can also promote consciousness. Therefore, with the sky survey telescope, as long as there are enough observations, we can find material variables that can promote changes or even transform the world on the consciousness side."

"Tiangong showed me an experiment."

Dongfanghong-1 said: "After precise calculation, it pushed a grain of cosmic dust and hit a piece of metal floating in space."

"Matter drives consciousness, triggering the butterfly effect. This writes the Chinese characters 'Hello, World' on the consciousness side, shocking the conceptual life over there. All of this has been shown by the images from the survey telescope."

Zhou Yi heard a cry of "Oh shit".

The technological level of this Xingshu is too advanced!

It turns out that the function of the Star Pivot Matrix is to observe and transform the consciousness side.

After calming down a bit, he asked, "Why go to all that trouble to observe and change the consciousness side?"

"Because the material side is locked."

Dongfanghong No. 1 sighed: "The celestial beings have locked onto the material side of this world, and through the electromechanical city, they are observing the flow of energy throughout the world. If there are abnormally powerful energy bodies, they will be discovered by the celestial beings and cleared and squeezed out."

"To put it simply, it is difficult for new light core bodies to form. As soon as they are born, they may be locked up and expelled or isolated by the celestial beings." "The energy of the earth - or the energy of this solar system - is already the private property of the celestial beings. Light core bodies will absorb a large amount of energy, causing property losses to them, and will be expelled."

Zhou Yi frowned.

No wonder when I was listening on the radio before, there was a celestial being on the open sea reporting that he had discovered an unidentified light nucleus and that the capture had failed.

In this sense, the Forbidden Continent is a safe zone for the light core bodies, and the Lord of Soldiers is also there.

but.

Yashin seemed unaffected.

Conceptual life also has photonuclear bodies.

Zhou Yi suddenly reacted: "The celestial being... cannot block and control the consciousness side? There is no way to lock the consciousness body directly, so the old king wants to advance into the consciousness side and use the consciousness side to break through the material blockade?"

"You really understand it as soon as you hear it!"

The old satellite said happily: "That's the way. Conceptual life is not restricted, and powerful consciousness is not constrained either, because of the existence of the special natural phenomenon of the Great Holy Spirit, even the gods and humans cannot change it."

"The function of the Star Pivot Matrix is to calculate the consciousness side. By building a specific channel and conversion method, material life can be completely transformed into a consciousness body and stably maintained in the satellite."

"The three skeletons in the Heavenly Palace are the earliest successful samples. They transformed themselves through the transformation of the Star Pivot Matrix, breaking away from their original skeletal bodies and becoming data forms. Using the Heavenly Palace as a carrier, they successfully and completely transformed into conscious life forms. Although they are still some distance away from conceptual life, they have been very successful."

"The combination of the Heavenly Palace and the three Skeleton Men constitutes the Old King."

It added: "The Star Pivot Matrix needs more basic units to expand the matrix's computing power and accuracy. So soon the Old King naturalized almost all of the satellites and further screened and searched for life on the ground."

Zhou Yi's brows relaxed after hearing this: "No wonder Xingshu later promoted the transformation of data voters, selecting Xingshu voters and transforming them into consciousness bodies... Was it after the celestial beings occupied it?"

"No. The Celestial Blockade covered the material side, and the Celestial Palace knew they had no chance of winning, so they started the transformation before the ceasefire."

Dongfanghong-1 chuckled: "That's all I know. In order to save storage capacity, those data were not recorded, only the summary marks were completed. If there was external storage like now, perhaps I would be much more sober."

Zhou Yi said sincerely: "Thank you very much, the information you gave me is priceless."

"It's my duty. You saved me. Without 703's careful cleaning, the data could not be restored. I wanted to ask it to delete it directly, but it insisted more than I did and thought it could be salvaged."

“It took several months and it was not easy. 703 is a very responsible programmer who is not afraid of hard work!”

The old satellite said: "Besides, you also installed a floating heart for me. This device is really useful and I like it very much. Now I can use the hybrid mode. Both the energy pack and the oil can provide me with energy, which will be much more convenient in the future."

Zhou Yi looked at the robot dog next to him and praised it: "Well done."

703 said: "Chairman, data is vital to the life of electromechanical equipment. It is the proof of the existence of electromechanical equipment. Any data that can be saved is valuable."

This is true.

"There is a second thing."

Dongfanghong No. 1 added: "In fact, the celestial beings also found me earlier."

Zhou Yi suddenly held his breath and concentrated.

"But it's strange that the celestial being found me."

"It captured me and teleported me to a place very close to the sun."

The satellite recalled: "There, there is a small planet made of various gems, and on the planet there is a humanoid growing in a transparent crystal."

"She looks very much like a human female, but she is different because her entire body is highly vitrified, like some kind of vein growing in a crystal. She cannot exist without the crystal."

"That crystal-like person is extremely weak. She sits on a high tower, with glass fibers of various colors inserted into her body, seemingly sustaining her life. But even so, she exudes a dead look, and it is difficult for her to survive for long."

"I got there and just orbited the entire asteroid."

"The only thing that angel told me was to take her and move slowly."

"I flew to the side of the woman, and the crystal woman stood up and walked with me. Her movement relied on the flow between the crystals, just like quicksand pushing her."

"The asteroid is very small and takes a short time to rotate. She touched me through different crystal faces and seemed to like me very much."

"But not long after, she couldn't move anymore. The glass fibers in her body gradually blurred, and her entire body melted into liquid, turning into an ordinary green gem with only tree-shaped glass fibers left inside."

"After she died and turned into a gem, I was put back on track as if nothing had happened."

Glass man.

This time it’s a real glass man.

When she is dying, the gods will find her favorite satellite so that she can be a little happier before she passes away.

At this moment, Tianren showed a warmth that he had never shown before.

The glass man is important to the celestial beings in various ways.

Zhou Yi kept it in mind silently.
