All the stars have died. The lights are out for your universe. However, there is still one last card you can play in this situation. These steps should only be used under only the most extreme circumstances.
- Find a rotating black hole. Using the Amplified Penrose Process discussed in the previous article (How to Survive in the Universe – From the Very Start to Every End), install a Kinetic-Electric energy converter to let your civilization take whatever energy it can from the black hole. The electricity will help to power essentially a mind bank, where the consciousness and thoughts of your entire civilization are uploaded. This will require the following list of goods and technologies:
- Goods:
- 92 billion dark energy batteries
- 2.3 million dark matter tons
- 2.21 million hypersleep modules
- 2.208 million cryogenic generators
- Technologies:
- Rotational-electric energy conversion
- Full energy recycling and conservation
- Mind uploading
- Consciousness uploading
- Goods:
- Have your civilization build structures around groups of black holes shaped like this:
3.
- These shapes of black hole clusters are generally recommended due to their abundance and in order to maximize ease of movement between each black hole. If one dies due to Hawking radiation, you can move your civilization’s energy source to one of those adjacent black holes.
4. Use your hypersleep modules, cryogenic generators, dark matter, and dark energy batteries to build a structure that looks like this around a black hole. The blue borders indicate the pods where your civilization will sleep, and the longer, gray pieces are where the data is stored. Inside these grey pieces (basically long cylinders with protection around them) are the servers, and the servers are where the data is used.
. In order to simulate gravity while your civilization is in orbit around the black hole, you should make sure your base spins in order to counter the effects of low gravity.
- The data should then be uploaded to the servers, and if you researched the “Simulated Lifespan” technology in the Digital Future age, this should be very simple. This technology requires 2.5 trillion gold coins, 10 trillion supply points, 0.5 billion semiconductors, and 1 billion uploaded brains.
- Try to upload as many lifeforms as you can to the simulation, as the more lifeforms there are, the lower the chance of rebellion. This allows for them to have a larger social presence, so they will help keep each other in check.
- The digital world, to an uploaded mind, will resemble whatever you design the world to be. Therefore, you should make the world as appealing as possible to all lifeforms.
- There are several ways to do this: Create the planet they lived on to the best of your ability, create simulated lifeforms in case any of your creatures died, or even to personally come in and inform them of the end.
- You could even turn this digital world into a game of sorts, so the creatures feel motivated to continue living, and for the end of the game they can finally meet you and get to know how you managed to make your universe.
- One day, dark energy will win over gravity, crushing your universe, so that would be the end. There is one ultimate solution to everything, to prevent your universe from crumbling like a cookie soaked in milk: Flex tape. Just encircle your entire universe with it.
- Another alternative is to eat your universe. As your universe gets older and older, due to the presence of dark energy, it will start to take on a richer, smoother, and buttery taste, and if you mix in a lot of colors into your universe, it will taste like hot chocolate. If you do so however, all of the creatures in your universe will be placed in limbo, and be forced to solve a quiz on your universe to get out. Depending on how easy or hard you make the quiz, these creatures may end up in your life.
