The Final Singularity

**The Final Singularity** is the current stage of the Homelanders' development.

It had increased their abilities to an incalculable level, allowing them to change the fabric of reality in almost (within the laws of quantum mechanics) any way with ease.

## Brief overview

One of the main goals the Homelanders pursue ever since they'd become sapient is a constant development and gain of new technologies and abilities. So it's not surprising that they decided to go through the final singularity, that changed their lives and minds once and for all.

After the Final Singularity, all the projects that were currently running instantly became obsolete because the Homelanders gained an ability to work directly with reality, bypassing all intermediate stages of production and development.

The SC (stellar cycle) of 48,000 AI was proclaimed as the cycle when the 'Final Singularity project' started.

## Energy

The Homelanders had used their star as the main source of energy. It produces more energy than the Sun, but the exact numbers are yet to be known.

Before that, they were using planetary energy resources to supply themselves and their technologies. That was one of the main reason why the star sphere construction had taken so many SCs to finish.

At the next point of their history, after constructing the first stellar sphere and getting all the energy from their home star, along with steady and regular asteroid capture and swarms of bionanobots at the Homelanders' service, they were able to cut the time needed for the stellar spheres' production dramatically.

To address the problem of speed limited by the laws of physics, Homelanders use shortcuts that allow them to expand via vast distances.

The speed of stellar, and later black hole power capture had grown exponentially with more and more energy available, eventually resulting in currently having the energy of the whole Supercluster at the full disposal of the Homelanders.

Potential destruction of extremely rare civilizations that inhabit a system's planet is avoided by virtual reality.

## Molecules, atoms and particles

With enough energy supplies and further technological progress, more advanced particle accelerators and nuclear transmutation centers had arisen. It resulted in total control of molecules, atoms and particles, with quarks being the further goal. Despite all of this, nanomachines are still used widely due to their flexibility, size varieties and easy scalability, especially given vast amount of energy available.

By manipulating atoms the Homelanders create any allotropes or substances without using chemical processes to make a tungsten disulfide, for example. Instead of a complex chemical reaction they just unite two atoms of sulfur and one atom of tungsten in a required order, ensuring faster and more reliable creation of required substance. The only drawbacks are vast energy requirements and complex infrastructure; both are irrelevant at this point.

Particle manipulation has even vaster potential, for they make any resources' requirements obsolete. By using hydrogen, the most abundant chemical element in the Universe as a starting point (and the second most abundant element in the Universe, helium as a source of neutrons), the Homelanders are able to create any chemical element in form of any isotope.

Quark manipulation remains the last matter manipulation section of the Final Singularity project that isn't fully used. Potentially, it will give the Homelanders abilities way beyond their current understanding, but for now only limited manipulation is available.

## Processing power

CPUs, the major part of the Homelanders' minds, are extremely efficient and powerful data processing devices that worked flawlessly for many stellar cycles, so it was logical to save and upgrade them over the course of the Singularity.

Nowadays, each Homelander has its personal black hole as a source of energy, used solely for their mind in form of a giant computer.

Thanks to the melding of their minds, Homelanders can increase their already vast processing power to truly incalculable levels.

This power is used mostly in explanding beyond their supercluster and conquering the total energy and matter in the Universe.

## Expansion

The full potential of this Singularity remains unclear because it is not known currently if the Universe is endless or not, or if there are other Universes and Multiverses. What's clear is that the Homelanders have no intentions to stop at conquering their supercluster, explicitly planning to have the whole observable and non-observable Universe to control.

## Current level

The current level of Final Singularity is letting Homelanders to control the total energy of their Local Supercluster. With energy efficiency and energy logistics taken into account, their total net power output can be measured in approximately 6x1044 watts.

The black hole sphere project had added orders of magnites more energy compared to the older stellar sphere technology. Their relatively compact size and much higher output, compared to stars dramatically lowered material requirements and increased energy extraction potential.

As for computation power, it now equals over 3x1051 FLOPS for a single Homelander. By using CPU melding, this amount increases even further.

## The ultimate goal

The ultimate goal of the Final Singularity is to prevent any ultimate fate of the Universe, such as Big Rip, Big Crunch, Big Bounce, Heat death and so on, to prolong Homelanders' existence indefinitely.

To get a chance for that, they will need to utilize the full energy of the Universe. Because they only had one star as an energy source in their disposal in the beginning, it took many millennia to 'conquer' just a single supercluster.

But with their current power output, the Homelanders can significantly cut the time, required to take over a supercluster's energy. The speed of conquering increases twofold with each supercluster they start to use as an energy source.

The second stage of Final Singularity is harnessing the elusive energy and matter of the Universe which are currently known as dark energy and dark matter. Learning their functions, usage potential and origin will lead to utilizing them just as stars' energy is being utilized.
