The main hall is semicircular and has two floors. The second floor is supported by two solid metal brackets, forming a platform overlooking all the screens in the entire hall.
Under the platform is a wide and bright work area. The semi-circular screen with no blind spots flashes the situation of many areas. Although most of the screens are already black, in general, you can vaguely feel that this control area used to be
of grand occasion.
There were eight entrances and exits in the entire hall, and Ian was a little surprised. The crystal passage he was walking on was one of the underground river transportation systems, which was used to quickly travel between ecological parks.
But in the center of the main hall, there is a rock statue that is incompatible with the overall style of the main hall and even looks very rough.
A giant statue with a bulging body, as if it were bloated.
"This is……"
Ian frowned. He looked at the statue carefully, and then said in an uncertain tone: "Radiation protection suit?"
It is indeed a humanoid statue wearing a radiation protection suit. Although the details are poor, he has often worn radiation protection suits during inspections and repairs before, so he is very familiar with its style.
The simple handmade statue covered with radiation-proof clothing stood quietly in the extremely advanced silver central control hall, looking extremely mysterious and simple. Ian couldn't figure out why for a while.
He could only walk forward and observe his surroundings carefully.
And when you look at it, you can see many details.
On the four walls of the main hall, there are many faint scratches on the inscriptions. Rather than being scratches, they are more like the remnants of some kind of oil pen left on the metal wall. The metal wall itself did not leave any scratches.
Densely written marks and totems are scattered all around the hall. Apart from the screens, even the ground is covered with these marks.
"Stop."
Although neither he nor Andor entered the hall, Ian still stopped the pirate captain's actions.
He leaned down, carefully observed the marks on the wall and floor, and let the silver chip record them.
"The third power module combination sequence can be compatible with the two furnace core structures of 'Fire' and 'Flying Light' by unifying the furnace model, but it cannot replace the combination sequence of 'Tide' and 'Crazy Lan'. If necessary, combine the front and rear
The connection between any two in the combination provides an opportunity to repair one party, and a wide-area psychic suppressor is required to stabilize the different wavelengths of natural psychic energy and avoid causing field roar changes."
"The administrator-elder can perform remote maintenance operations on the base and the ecological park at the same time through the unified information platform, but cannot perform remote operations on prohibited areas such as the 'power source area' and 'biological laboratory', but the administrator can perform remote maintenance operations on the base and ecological park through the 'core management'
The platform is equipped with 'remote viewing equipment' for remote maintenance."
"Non-administrator-elder users can apply for maintenance qualifications, enter the maintenance equipment area, enter the restricted area through the special exit, and perform maintenance work for 4 to 8 hours. If you need to extend the time, please continue to apply for qualifications."
After reading the meaning of these traces, Ian was confused at first, and then he understood: "This is a key maintenance manual? And it is written very straightforwardly, and ordinary people can understand it..."
"This is a study manual specially left for future generations!?"
Standing up straight, Ian looked around the hall in front of him again.
But this time, he saw that on the five seats in front of the screen, there were five completely mummified corpses.
And at this moment, another wave of visions struck, causing a series of light and film clips to flash in the young man's eyes.
Five figures of different shapes, both men and women, were gathering under the statue and having a heated discussion.
[There is no other way, in order to hedge, this is our only method now!] The tallest man's voice was like a bell, and his tone was calm: [As the first edge, if I fail, everyone please follow me.
Learn a lesson from your sacrifice!]
[Yes, this is the only possibility to defeat that guy] A woman said calmly: [There is a consciousness uploader in the laboratory and it has been destroyed, but he does not know that the administrator's seat in the central control room itself needs to be
Projecting your own consciousness to the base control platform requires only slight modifications, and every seat here is an uploader]
[A person’s thinking and memory are one. Even if he has the first-mover advantage, we can completely defeat him with the number of people.] A man who looked a little gloomy said slowly. There was a huge scar on his head. It seemed that
Had brain surgery: [He has not yet started to produce echoes on a large scale. Although there is quantity, the quality is still not condensed]
[Indeed] Another woman with a hot tone nodded and said: [We are all human. Although he is the strongest among us, can he be stronger than us combined?!]
The oldest one sighed. He turned his head worriedly and looked at the door of the control room: [The question is, what will happen to the insect nest after it is defeated? That thing has begun to expand wildly, and the younger generation has lost its brain.
Plug-ins cannot be cleared using base tools at all...]
[Even if it is eliminated, can the brain-possessed slugs he transformed into such a thing really be completely eliminated? That is already the standard of military biological weapons in the past. Even if they are driving armor... they may not be able to operate it.
ah】
There was silence in the conference room for a while, but soon the sound came again.
The tall man cheered: [It doesn't matter, there are a few smart ones among them who can learn the operation manual without having to have a brain]
[It’s just that the population is not enough, and it is impossible to maintain the base’s ecology and knowledge inheritance no matter what... They will definitely decline] The calm woman had some regrets: [It is our failure to inherit the glory of Terra...]
[I have thought about it for a long time] The gloomy man's face became even more ugly, and finally he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: [I previously asked Bona to start the cloning warehouse, which should be able to replenish part of the population, although the gene bank has been contaminated
, but at most it is just a physical deformation and does not affect intelligence]
[When necessary, clones can also be used as cannon fodder. Although it is not human rights, there is no other way now... sacrificing clones is better than sacrificing normal people]
[It’s so dirty. We are probably the last generation of Alliance Terrans, but we still can’t maintain our glory] The hot woman sighed: [Let’s not talk about this, there is no brain-attached psychic network, only the records in the genes and oral
Fragments of knowledge passed down orally, what will our descendants look like...]
【us……】
The old man looked around at the younger generation in front of him. Although he felt extremely heavy, he still smiled in the end: [We have no choice]
【We can only believe】
to believe...
believe in future.
future……
Five ancient phantoms of the past dissipated in front of Ian, finally condensing into the bones in front of him.
Everything lasted just a moment. The young man slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
Now, we have arrived at the future they talked about.
