Let’s talk about time first. According to the bearded man, it is now the 119th year of the New Era, which means that this timing method has just been implemented for more than a hundred years. So what was the timing method before this?

The bearded man said to be an old era method used by ancient civilizations. The old era officially ended in 23236, and all of them were calculated using the new era.

So is this old era related to the earth? Hong Tao did not dare to rashly say the name of the earth, but instead learned about it from the side, but the result was not sure.

The bearded man didn't know where the old era came from. The new Eden civilization he lived in had been out of order for a long time, and what he currently did was to find the whole story of this civilization by cracking ancient ruins.

In addition, the identity of the bearded man has also been settled. He said he was a free pilot. What he was called, Hong Tao, Hong, was too uncertain. The communication between the two parties had to be transferred with an automatic translation system. There were quite a few differences between his English and the other party's New Roman language. It was already amazing to express most of the meanings and there was no need to require accuracy.

Even if he was not sure, after hearing the bearded man's explanation, Hong Tao felt a chill on his back. According to the people on earth, this person should not be considered a normal person, because his body is cloned, all of which are artificial, and only consciousness is his own.

According to him, this is a relatively new technology, which has been officially implemented in the New World of Eden for more than ten years. There are two main functions of doing this. First, it allows them to be more perfectly matched with the spacecraft operating system; second, it allows humans to be more adapted to long space travel and various potentially harmful unknown environments.

The so-called spacecraft operating system is the main brain that the bearded man said. It is very intelligent and can talk to Hong Tao normally. Not only can he understand the commands, but he also has a part of his self-awareness. He can calculate the most appropriate results and execute them according to different situations.

The spaceships of the new Edens required many pilots to fly, and a exploration ship would require dozens. If it was a large warship, hundreds or thousands were just the minimum configuration.

Since the cloning pilot technology was established, the human brain can be connected to the main brain of the spacecraft through neuronal devices, greatly improving operational efficiency. The number of crew members of a small exploration ship has been reduced from dozens to one or two.

For example, the bearded spacecraft is the only one inside and outside! It greatly reduces the difficulty of long-distance voyages in terms of supply and cost, and it also promotes the progress of exploration space.

Another benefit is more obvious. Space travel is like sailing on Earth. No matter how good the ship is, it is dangerous, especially in unknown waters.

What is more difficult than sailing is that some voyages are not something that the New Edens can live. In this case, the previous approach was to freeze astronauts, just like hibernation, through the spacecraft's autonomous driving system, and then activate at a corresponding time point in the future.

But this process is both dangerous and painful. As long as there is a little error in the calculation or the spacecraft is hit by a little collision during flight, the activation point will be deviated from the preset time.

As long as you drag early or late, the astronauts on a ship can only wait to starve to death. There is not so much space on the spacecraft carrying so much supplies, which is only enough for use in hibernation. Once you wake up, you have to arrive at the surface of the destination planet in a very short time for artificial synthesis, otherwise you will die.

Such dangers will definitely greatly hinder the scope of space exploration activities, so the new Edens tried their best to study how to make the spacecraft sail safer. As a result, they found inspiration from the ruins of ancient civilizations called Hibernators and eventually created two types of equipment, one called cloned pilots and the other called consciousness transfer.

Hong Tao really didn't understand how these technologies were implemented, but he understood the general meaning. The bearded man's original body was gone. Not only him, but all the new Edens who chose to voluntarily become cloned pilots would lose their original body.

Their consciousness will be withdrawn by a brain scanning device and then properly preserved as a mother, and their new body is a clone like a living dead person. After injecting consciousness into the clone and activate it, this clone is no different from the original body. In some aspects, it is more powerful than the human body and is more conducive to strengthening.

When the spacecraft encounters danger, the escape pod will judge the degree of danger by itself. Once the damage to the pilot may reach a certain value, the pilot's awareness will be immediately sent to the nearest special space station.

As long as the sending process is completed, no matter how the pilot dies, his consciousness will be completely preserved. As long as he spends money to buy another clone, inject and activate the consciousness, he will be resurrected again.

Generally speaking, cloned pilots will purchase cloned bodies in advance, and those with wealthy will customize high-end goods, or buy several items to store. Theoretically, as long as the consciousness is not destroyed, cloned pilots will be resurrected infinitely.

Of course, you still need money. If you don’t have money to buy clones, consciousness can only be a piece of data that exists in the server and will never be able to truly survive. But it seems that it cannot be considered dead. It can no longer be explained by the laws and moral values ​​of the earth.

So why don’t cloning pilots eat? It’s not that they don’t have to eat, but that they eat different things from ordinary people. The bearded man used holographic images to show the flying status of the cloning pilots, and then Hong Tao gave up.

He would wear a clothes similar to the second layer of skin into the egg-shaped device in the escape compartment, wear a helmet connected to many pipes, which is used to connect with the neuronal system of the main brain of the spacecraft, thus integrating the pilot himself and the main brain into a whole.

This egg-shaped device is filled with fluorocarbon derivative solution, a nano-saturated liquid that is rich, breathable, and constant pressure. The cloning pilot is suspended in this liquid. In addition to buffering acceleration and deceleration and unexpected impacts during the ultra-light speed journey, all oxygen and nutrients are also provided by the liquid.

The bearded man was willing to let Hong Tao share his escape capsule and nutrient solution, but unfortunately normal people cannot survive in this liquid, so it is only suitable for cloning. Similarly, since they don’t have to eat, there is no need for others to bring food. There is only spare nutrient solution, which normal people still cannot eat.

Hong Tao has learned so much about the time issue at present. He thinks that if all this is true, then the new Edens like the bearded man and the others are likely to be descendants of humans on Earth.

First of all, they look no different from themselves, even the clones look standard humanoid. In addition, the bearded man is sure that his body is also heart, liver, lungs, spleen, stomach and kidneys, and his blood is red, and he needs to breathe a certain concentration of oxygen. If he doesn’t eat, he will be hungry, if he doesn’t sleep, he will feel sleepy, if he doesn’t have sex, he will think about it if he doesn’t have sex...

Secondly, there are many languages ​​in the translation database of the main brain of the bearded spacecraft. One of them is very similar to English writing and pronunciation. Hong Tao communicates with the bearded man through this language and finds several French words from it. Although the other ones are not understood, the pronunciation is also very familiar.

These languages ​​were passed down from their ancestors, and it is hard to explain where the bearded man was passed down. Their civilization has only been recorded for more than 7,000 years. The previous history has not been found out, and I don’t know where the ancestors came from.

The only thing we can know is that our ancestors must be more technologically advanced than theirs, because there are still ancient ruins in many galaxies, and except for a small part, most of them have not been cracked yet. Just this small part can provide great help to the technological development of the New Edens.

"If I say so, I'm probably their ancestor? Hehehe... there are a large group of Dala grandchildren for no reason. Where can I make sense..."

It is true that the bearded man has a low emotional intelligence. It is true that Hong Tao has trapped many situations but has not obtained real information from Hong Tao, but he is really not stupid. From beginning to end, he only talks with Hong Tao through a layer of metal that will become transparent, without any contact.

People also gave very good reasons. Before the quarantine is thorough, the main mind of the spacecraft will not let the pilot contact unknown creatures. Even the bearded man will not be able to do it unless the main mind of the spacecraft is completely removed from the line.

Hong Tao deeply agrees with this. Not to mention that the bearded man does not contact him, he does not want to contact him. He may have come from ten thousand years ago. These new Edens have experienced at least 20,000 years of wandering around and wandering around the universe. I don’t know how many planets he has been to, and how many viruses he may carry on his body.

They may have antibodies and are not afraid of these viruses, but they don’t have one. If they rashly come into contact with something incurable, wouldn’t they kill the living ancestors of the new World of Eden?

After all, the bearded man was his life-saving benefactor, so he could not bear such a serious sin. If he had not taken action, he would have stayed in the escape capsule of a wrecked exploration ship. It is said that the escape capsule had lost its power at that time, and he might have to wander in the universe for the rest of his life, and any immortal body would have to become an atomic state.

"No, no, even my ancestors, facing such great benefits, I'm afraid I have to take ruthless measures!" But then I thought about it, Hong Tao denied the idea of ​​telling his identity to Dahushou Hepan again.

Didn’t the bearded man just said that they were all trying their best to study civilizations in ancient ruins. Even if they were to study it a little more clearly, it would have a great impact on the development of science and technology at this time.

If he knew that he was a living ancestor, his first idea was to discover ancient civilization from himself. If he said he didn't know, would he believe it?
