Chapter 138 The Choice About Survival

The core of the lighthouse, the Croto system, is not small. The brain composed of the biological half-brain and the mechanical half-brain is as high as a floor. Under the brain is a mechanical structure that looks like a cervical vertebrae. The total height exceeds two floors.

This is the technology of the old age of the spirit cage world: the technical application of ASH (Advanced Species of Human, human dominant species) brain-computer combination.

Combining the human right brain with a computer, ideally, it will have both human emotions and high computing power like a computer.

Only such people can be called advanced human ASH.

But this project was not successful. Although the core is the human brain, the final result of the experiment was only a computer with human brain circuits.

That said, ASH is just Advanced Artificial Intelligence.

However, the experimental results did not hinder the development and promotion of this technology. Before the catastrophe that spread all over the world, the ASH global brain was successfully launched.

The Crotor system used to be one of the subsystems of the global brain.The biological half-brain is not the brain of prehistoric intelligent life guessed by the lighthouse people, but a technological product cultivated by the genes of underground organisms.

Computing power is very high for the earth in the spirit cage world, but in front of Qiyuan, that thing is just an abacus.

This discovery disappointed Mu Chenxing.

On the contrary, in its database, I learned some information about the end of the world, which is quite rewarding.

In 1991, global pollution was extremely serious, and the ecological environment of the earth was so bad that it was difficult for human beings to survive. The interstellar immigration plan was put on the agenda, and the mineral resources of the moon were destructively mined.

In 2000, the immigration plan was being implemented step by step, and many immigration spacecraft were successfully launched.

However, the phase of the moon suddenly changed, geomagnetic deflection, and gravitational disturbance caused geological disasters to sweep the world. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis continued for decades. Immigration plans were interrupted, human society completely collapsed, and the population plummeted to the point of near extinction. degree.

For the first time, vine-like subterranean organisms appeared on a large scale, spreading parasites such as spores, and began to invade the surface ecology.

The end of the world is coming.

In 2048, the guards and prisoners of the former air prison Tartarus reconciled and decided to establish a human shelter.So it was renamed the Lighthouse, and people were gathered to save the survivors, and the expansion plan was also implemented simultaneously.

This year is designated as the first year of the lighthouse calendar.

After three years in the history of the lighthouse, the original warden passed away, and the second city lord took office. Because there were too many survivors, the suspended living area began to be built.It is the pigeon cage where the dust people live now, but at that time, there was no distinction between the Shangmin and the dust people.

All forces are in to save the survivors.

The lighthouse has lived for five years, and the Pole Devourer was born. The lighthouse was attacked by ground armed forces. Although it won in the end, more than half of its population was lost.

Since then, the Lighthouse has begun to change its attitude towards saving survivors, no longer as an institutional shelter, but also began to consciously divide and control the population.

In the 11th year of the lighthouse, the last ground shelter fell, confirming that the polar devouring beasts had developed into a population, and the ground could no longer survive.The Wild Hunters are formed.

In the 12th year of the lighthouse's history, the wild hunters were besieged by polar devouring beasts, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Only Commander Morgan and a few people survived. He brought back a white-haired woman and a power armor.

After that, the white-haired woman disappeared, and the lighthouse gained the technology to modify the heavy body.

In the 24th year of the lighthouse calendar, the Crotor system was out of order to predict the future of mankind.

Until now, it is still in a shutdown state.

Because the biological half-brain went into shock, the cerebral cortex, which should have been pink and white, had a leaden gray color.The neural structure is like a dead tree, showing a lignified texture.

It's dying.

The mycelium-like tentacles growing from the cerebral cortex floated lifelessly in the solution.

Especially like the dead mana flower.

This system accurately predicted the doomsday, and helped the lighthouse avoid many disasters in the following years.

The second city lord used it to calculate the future of mankind, and ended up playing the system until it crashed.

The lighthouse does not have the technology to restart.

You really know how to play, that’s not how Super Calculator is used.

There are too many variables to calculate the future of human beings, and the celestial-level dark matter computer cannot get the exact answer. What good results can the semi-biological brain have?It's fine if it doesn't explode.

But before the crash, the city lord deciphered a coordinate among a bunch of garbled characters.He took that coordinate as a prophecy of the future, and humanity's only hope.

He took people to the ground without hesitation, tried his best to rush to the marked location, and found a baby.

The baby is Mark.

Mark is one of the crystallizations of genetic technology in the old age, and it is also the hope of mankind that the lighthouse people welcomed back with corpses all over the road.

In fact, Bai Yuekui is also the result of the genetic technology of the old era.

And the mana ecology is also the product of underground organisms absorbing modified genes.

The result of the calculation of the Croto system should be to continue to advance genetic technology. As a result, the people in the lighthouse only brought back Mark, but failed to bring back relevant scientific research materials and equipment.

Both the second and current city lords want to train Mark into a powerful warrior, hoping that he can lead the lighthouse out of the predicament, defeat the beast, and return to the ground.

The behavior is very short-sighted, but there is nothing wrong with it. It is really embarrassing for a refugee shelter struggling to survive in the last days to let them study cutting-edge technology.

It has to be said that decades of global disasters have dealt a severe blow to civilization, and the science and technology of the old era have become legends in this air prison.

The technological regression in the last days is extremely serious. It is really sad that the civilization survivors who have stepped into the space-level threshold are forced to go to the sky by an ecosystem that has not produced advanced intelligence.

Now the lighthouse can guarantee the normal operation of the nuclear fusion energy system, maintain genetic testing and the existing medical system, can manufacture light firearms and ammunition, and refit the power armor heavy body, which is not easy.

It's a pity that the manufacturing technology of the Nibelungen Z10 electromagnetic sniper rifle is lost, and the hunters can only go to the ground to collect finished products, and there are not many electromagnetic guns in the entire lighthouse.

Mu Chenxing feels that electromagnetic weapons are their future, and the lethality of gunpowder firearms is not enough to deal with large polar beasts.

But the lighthouse has lost the ability to reverse the derivation, and the high-level is more concerned about maintaining the stability of the social structure.

The information that Mu Chenxing read from other computer databases shows that the lighthouse has been running for 30 years, and the third city lord, that is, the current city lord Morgan succeeded to the throne, and promulgated the three major laws as soon as he came to power.

It uses genes to distinguish the upper class from the lower class, dismantles the family unit, and implements a parenting model for newborns, stifling family affection, love, and other emotions, trying to erase human emotions in the form of law.

In the same year, he approved his son Charles to establish the Light and Shadow Church to stabilize people's hearts with faith.

21 years have passed by now.

The advantage is to achieve genetic optimization through prenatal and postnatal care.Those dust people with genetic defects and hidden dangers of genetic diseases have no reproductive rights at all.

Maybe thousands of years later, they will be able to cultivate a group of elite fighters who are cold and numb, and not so conspicuous in the perception of the polar devouring beast.

The disadvantage is that it completely seals off the future of mankind.

After reading the data of the entire lighthouse, Mu Chenxing felt that the future of this shelter was broken and it was doomed to perish.

Human beings who have lost their emotions are not as good as intelligent robots. They can't even tell what the root of evolution is. Are they scared crazy by the Pole Devourer?

He was terribly disappointed here.

Although everyone has the right to live, but some people, he does not want to save.Even though it didn't take much effort to save people, some people made him feel sick.

At the thought of saving these people together, he felt a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat, it was too disgusting to swallow, and he couldn't cough it out.

uncomfortable.

In the distorted doomsday world, human nature is too complicated, he can't put himself in the place to feel and understand.

Difficulty distinguishing between good and evil.

After thinking about it for a second, he finally decided that the choice of who to save or not to save should be left to others.

Different from the lighthouse, the underground residents have already begun to change their technology systems, adapt to the ecological changes, and play with their personal cultivation.It was really not easy for Bai Yuekui, a brain scientist in the old age, to forcibly open up a new evolutionary route.

Go back and visit again, now Mu Chenxing wants to see Mark's reaction first, and wait for his choice.

At this time, Mark was very dissatisfied. The Mu Chenxing brought back was obviously powerful. He disappeared after seeing the city lord, and there was no news at all. This reminded him of the story of the man who visited the lighthouse decades ago.

It also disappeared without a sound.

He decided to go back to the older old man to inquire about it.Thirty-nine years have passed, and most of the people who lived in those days have traveled far away, and it is not easy to find those who still live on the lighthouse.

He set his sights on Dustman 0609, an old porter who had followed the hunters for many years and knew many things.

But now I can’t leave. This trip is three years, no, it’s the most rewarding time since he joined the Wild Hunter for ten years. The work of sorting and storing is quite cumbersome.

Of course he doesn't need to work and move things, but it's about the contribution points of his subordinates, so it's impossible not to keep an eye on them.

There are also treatment arrangements for the injured team members. They go to the ground to collect supplies when they are born and die, but they are not treated because they don’t have enough contribution points when they are injured. What is the rule?

Who was the hunter injured for?Who are we fighting for?He felt that the life formula was wrong, how could life be measured by a cold formula?

It shouldn't be!
And those law priests also came to make trouble.

The cause of the incident was that 4068 boarded the heavy body without authorization, violating the law that dust people are not allowed to touch Shangmin weapons.

In his opinion, this behavior is really nonsense, and it is easy to cause trouble if you rush to the heavy level without training.But it didn't go to the point of committing a crime. At that time, the war situation was urgent, so how could we care so much?

But these gentlemen who stay in the sky don't realize the danger on the ground.

Vatican the Bearer of Light imprisoned him personally, and the Priest whipped 4068 twelve whips fiercely. It was a hard guy made of steel rods.

And that boy's unconvinced defense will only provoke a heavier punishment.

Mark couldn't see it anymore, and was about to go over to stop him, but Mo Cheng was one step ahead of him, grabbing the wrist of the law priest who continued to swing his whip.

Ok!

Now it has become a head-on conflict between the hunters and the Church of Light and Shadow.

Then he couldn't ignore it, he quickened his pace and walked in front of several law priests.

"Mocheng, let go of that law priest." Mark first ordered Mocheng, then turned his head, looked at the bearer of light and said, "Master bearer of light, this kid managed to retrieve a piece of paper from the ground. Fate, if you hurt him, I will have one less person to work."

During the conversation, a few more people from the wild hunter team came around, and the scene was a little stalemate. Mark spoke soft words, but his attitude was very tough, and he would not back down a step.

So it was the Church of Light and Shadow that gave way.

This kind of thing happened too many times between the hunters and the Church of Light and Shadow.The reckless man who went to the ground desperately and the high-ranking master are always difficult to deal with.

The conflict was resolved, but the conflict would only get deeper and deeper. Mark didn't care and continued to deal with the matter of the wild hunter team.

Storage of supplies, treatment of the wounded, redistribution of resources for the dead, ammunition replenishment, weapon repairs, and training of new recruits.

It was already the second day after everything went smoothly. He went to the pigeon cage to find 0609, and inquired about the mysterious man's visit to the lighthouse for 12 years.

It turned out that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old white-haired beauty brought by the first Wild Hunter commander and the current city lord Morgan, and then this woman disappeared mysteriously.

How similar to the situation where I brought Mu Chenxing back.

What happened in the end is still unknown.

He returned to the hunter's base depressed, and then received an even more depressing news.

Teacher Elon's bone age is seventy, and he will go on a long journey tomorrow. The lighthouse does not support useless people. Even if he has made outstanding contributions to the lighthouse, he will eventually be lowered to the ground.

Mark knew exactly how dangerous the ground was. He said he was going on a long journey, but he was actually going to die.

This damned end of the world!

His brows were frowned into a knot, and he gritted his teeth tightly to hold back the words of resentment in his mouth.

Complaining is useless in this world.

Turning around, sending the teacher away, his teeth were about to be shattered.

But life has to go on, and the hunter must make full preparations for the next battle. He went to Jingnan, the commander of the navigation control room and the scientific research department, to discuss the matter of refitting the heavy plane.

Things went smoothly, and if Ran Bing's hang glider hadn't seen a breakdown, he would probably have been in a better mood.

Can't this woman have a time when she was skinny since she was a child? !
With great effort, she jumped from a height of 2000 meters and finally rescued her, but her confession reminded Mark of his sister Hongkou and Lixiao.

They also violated the three laws because of love, and I watched them being burned to ashes by the flames.

The elder sister is the second commander of the wild hunter, the apprentice brought up by the city lord himself, and the dawn is her adjutant, a warrior who can be counted on the lighthouse, has made outstanding achievements and made extraordinary contributions, but was still executed by burning.

He is also the commander of the Wild Hunter now, and he has fallen in love with his adjutant. Is what happened more than ten years ago going to repeat itself?
But he didn't want to see his loved one burned to death.He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want Ran Bing to die.

Nothing is more important than being alive.

"Don't say these words again." Mark hardened his heart and turned to leave.

Please, stop talking like that, you're going to die!
