Chapter 1949: Random Data Generator
Thereafter, the Primordial Civilization continued on in peace and tranquility for several hundred thousand more years.
There were no earthshaking, soul-stirring tales, but neither were there any crises that swept across the sea of stars and destroyed everything.
The Future Prediction System, controlled by "Zero," continued to operate with unwavering precision, ensuring that this vast world spanning the sea of stars remained as stable as ever.
Yet on a level invisible to ordinary civilization individuals, the Critical Point of inescapable calamity was gradually drawing near.
Over the long passage of time, Zero discovered a problem.
It was becoming harder and harder for it to find a "Good Future" among tens of thousands of "Bad Futures."
During the first few centuries after the Future Prediction System went online, it only needed to simulate several hundred, at most a thousand, Bad Futures to draw enough lessons from them, seek advantage and avoid harm, turn misfortune into fortune, and chart a path that left every civilization individual happy.
But as the number of civilization individuals grew greater, as the territory under civilization's control expanded, the entire system became increasingly complex and bloated.
Zero often had to run tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of simulations before it could avoid the endless problems rising one after another, wave upon wave, and derive a path that barely satisfied everyone.
In the end, even if it exhausted the resources of an entire planet, even drained a star dry to generate unimaginably surging computational power, and ran hundreds of millions or even billions of simulations, it was still difficult to find a Good Future that could preserve civilization.
Zero sank into prolonged thought.
And exactly one hundred years later, it reached a conclusion.
No, there was no problem with
