The core of the lighthouse, the Croto system is not small in size. The brain composed of the biological half brain and the mechanical half is as high as one story. Under the brain is a mechanical structure that looks like cervical vertebrae. The total height exceeds two stories.
This is the technology of the old era of the spirit cage world: the technical application of ASH (Advanced Species of Human, dominant human species) brain-computer combination.
Combining the human right brain with a computer would ideally have both human emotions and the same high computing power as a computer.
Only such people can be called advanced human ASH.
But this project was not successful. Although the core was the human brain, the final experimental result was only a computer with human brain circuits.
In other words, ASH is just advanced artificial intelligence.
However, the experimental results did not hinder the development and promotion of this technology. Before a catastrophe occurred throughout the world, the ASH Global Brain was successfully launched.
The Clotho system was once one of the subsystems of the global brain. That biological half-brain was not the brain of prehistoric intelligent life as guessed by the lighthouse people, but a technological product cultivated from the genes of underground creatures.
The computing power is very high for the earth in the spiritual cage world, but in front of Qiyuan, that thing is just an abacus.
This discovery disappointed Mu Chenxing.
On the contrary, I learned some information about the end of the world in its database, which was quite rewarding.
In 1991, global pollution was extremely serious, and the ecological environment of the earth was so bad that it was difficult for humans to survive. The interstellar immigration plan was put on the agenda, and the mineral resources of the moon were destructively exploited.
In 2000, the immigration plan was being implemented step by step, and many immigration spacecraft were successfully launched.
However, the moon phase suddenly changed, the geomagnetic deflection, and the gravitational disorder caused geological disasters to sweep across the world. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis continued for decades. The immigration plan was interrupted, human society completely collapsed, and the population plummeted to the point of almost extinction.
degree.
Underground organisms that looked like vines appeared on a large scale for the first time, spreading parasites such as spores, and began to invade the surface ecology.
The end of the world is coming.
In 2048, the guards of the former air prison Tartarus reconciled with the prisoners and decided to build a human sanctuary. So it was renamed the Lighthouse, and people were gathered to rescue survivors. The expansion plan was also implemented simultaneously.
This year is designated as the first year of the lighthouse calendar.
In the third year of the lighthouse calendar, the original warden passed away and the second city lord took office. Because there were too many survivors, the construction of suspended living quarters began. This is the pigeon cage where dust people live now, but at that time, there was no distinction.
The noble people and the ordinary people.
All forces are working to save the survivors.
Five years into the lighthouse's history, the pole-devouring beast was born. The lighthouse was attacked by ground armed forces. Although it eventually won, it lost more than half of its population.
Since then, the Lighthouse has begun to change its attitude towards rescuing survivors, no longer institutionalized shelter, and has also begun to consciously divide and control the population.
In the eleventh year of the Lighthouse Calendar, the last ground shelter fell, confirming that the Devouring Beasts had developed into a species and could no longer survive on the ground. The Wilderness Hunter Force was established.
In the twelfth year of the Lighthouse Calendar, the Waste Hunters were besieged by the Devouring Beasts and were almost wiped out. Only Commander Morgan and a few men survived. He brought back a white-haired woman and a powered armor.
After that, the white-haired woman disappeared, and the lighthouse acquired the technology to remodel it into a three-dimensional lighthouse.
In the twenty-fourth year of the Lighthouse Calendar, the Croto system calculated the future of mankind and went down.
Until now, it is still in shutdown mode.
Because half of the creature's brain was frozen and in shock, the cerebral cortex, which should have been pink and white, showed a lead-gray color. The neural structure looked like a dead tree, showing a lignified texture.
It's dying.
The mycelium-like tentacles growing out of the cerebral cortex were floating lifelessly in the solution.
Especially like the dead flower of Mana.
This system accurately predicted the end of the world and helped the lighthouse avoid many disasters in the years that followed.
The second city lord used it to calculate the future of mankind, but the result was that the system crashed.
The lighthouse does not have the technology to restart.
You really know how to play, this is not how you use it.
There are too many variables in calculating the future of mankind. Even the celestial-level dark matter computer cannot get a definite answer. What good results can a semi-biological brain have? It would be good if it didn't explode.
But before the machine crashed, the city lord deciphered a coordinate among a bunch of garbled codes. He regarded that coordinate as a prophecy of the future and the only hope for mankind.
Without hesitation, I took people to the ground, tried my best to get to the marked location, and found a baby.
This baby is Mark.
Mark is one of the crystallizations of the genetic technology of the old era, and he is also the hope of mankind that the lighthouse people welcomed back with corpses strewn all over the road.
In fact, Bai Yuekui is also the result of the genetic technology of the old era.
Mana ecology is also the product of underground organisms absorbing modified genes.
The result of Clotto's system calculations should be to continue to advance genetic technology. As a result, the people from the lighthouse only brought back Mark, but failed to bring back relevant scientific research materials and equipment.
Both the second and current city lords wanted to train Mark into a powerful warrior, hoping that he could lead the lighthouse out of trouble, defeat the Devouring Beast, and return to the ground.
The behavior is very short-sighted, but it is understandable. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for a refugee shelter that is struggling to survive in the apocalypse to study cutting-edge technology.
It has to be said that decades of global disasters have dealt a huge blow to civilization, and the science and technology of the old era have become legends in this sky prison.
The technological regression in the end of the world is extremely serious. The remnants of civilization who were supposed to have reached the threshold of aerospace level are forced to go to heaven and earth by an ecosystem that has not produced advanced wisdom. It is really sad.
The lighthouse can now ensure the normal operation of the nuclear fusion energy system, maintain genetic testing and the existing medical system, manufacture light firearms and ammunition, and modify power armor into three-dimensional ones, which is not easy.
It is a pity that the manufacturing technology of the Nibelungen Z10 electromagnetic sniper rifle has been lost, so hunters can only rely on hunting the finished products on the ground. 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 pole-devouring beasts.
But the lighthouse has lost its ability to perform reverse derivation, and the top management is more concerned about maintaining the stability of the social structure.
The information Mu Chenxing read from the databases of other computers showed that thirty years after the lighthouse calendar, the third city lord, the current city lord Morgan, succeeded to the throne and promulgated three major laws as soon as he came to power.
Genetically distinguish the upper-class people from the ordinary people, dismantle the family unit, implement the parenting model of sharing children and educating newborns, stifling family affection, love and other emotions, and trying to eliminate human emotions in the form of law.
In the same year, he approved his son Charles to establish the Church of Light and Shadow to stabilize people's hearts with faith.
Twenty-one years have passed until now.
The advantage is that genetic optimization is achieved through eugenics and postnatal care. Those ordinary people with defective genes and hidden dangers of genetic diseases have no right to reproduce at all.
Perhaps thousands of years later, they can cultivate a group of elite warriors who are cold and numb, and not so conspicuous in the perception of the pole-devouring beast.
The disadvantage is that it completely seals the future of mankind.
After reading the data of the entire lighthouse, Mu Chenxing felt that the future of this shelter was cut off and it was destined to perish.
Human beings who have lost their emotions are worse than intelligent robots. They can't even tell the origin of evolution. Are they scared crazy by the pole-eating beasts?
He was extremely disappointed with this place.
Although everyone has the right to live, there are some people he doesn't want to save. Even though it doesn't take much effort to save people, some people make him feel sick.
When he thought about rescuing all these people, he felt like a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat. It was too disgusting to swallow, and he couldn't cough it out.
Uncomfortable.
In the twisted apocalyptic world, human nature is too complex, and he cannot put himself in his shoes to feel or understand it.
It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
After thinking for a second, he finally decided to let others make the choice of who to save or not.
Different from the lighthouse, the underground residents have begun to change the technological system, adapt to the ecological changes, and engage in personal cultivation. Bai Yuekui, a brain scientist from the old era, is really not easy, and he has forcibly opened up a new evolutionary route.
Let’s visit later. 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 he brought back was obviously very powerful, but disappeared after seeing the city lord without any news. This reminded him of the story of the person who visited the lighthouse decades ago.
It also disappeared without a trace.
He decided to go back and ask the older people about it. Thirty-nine years have passed since the incident. Most of the people back then have traveled far away, and it is not easy to find those who are still living on the lighthouse.
He focused on Dustman 0609, an old porter who had been following the Hunters for many years and knew a lot of things.
But he can't leave now. This trip has been three years, no, ten years since he joined the hunter, and he has gained the most. The work of classifying and storing is quite tedious.
Of course he doesn't have to work and move things, but it involves the contribution of his subordinates, so he can't keep an eye on it.
There are also treatment arrangements for injured team members. They go to the ground to collect supplies through life and death, but they are injured but they are not treated because they don’t have enough contribution points. What kind of rules are there?
For whom did the hunter get hurt? For whom do we fight for our lives? He felt that the formula of life was wrong. How could life be measured by a cold formula?
It shouldn't be like this!
And those legal priests also came to cause trouble.
The cause of the incident was that 4068 boarded the heavy plane without authorization, violating the law that ordinary people are not allowed to touch the weapons of the civilians.
In his opinion, this behavior was really nonsense. He would easily cause trouble by rashly boarding a heavy plane without training. But it was not criminal. The war situation was urgent at that time, so how could he care so much?
But these gentlemen in the sky do not realize the dangers on the ground.
Vatican, the Bearer of Light, personally supervised the execution, and the priest gave her 4068 twelve lashes. It was a hard thing made of twisted steel bars. Every time it was struck, the skin and flesh were torn apart, which was very uncomfortable.
And that boy's unconvinced defense will only lead to a heavier punishment.
Mark couldn't stand it anymore and was about to stop him, but Mo Cheng was one step ahead of him and grabbed the priest's wrist as he continued to whip his whip.
Okay!
Now it has become a head-on conflict between the Wild Hunters and the Church of Light and Shadow.
Then he couldn't ignore it anymore. He quickened his pace and walked in front of several legal priests.
"Mo Cheng, let go of that law priest." Mark first ordered Mo Cheng, then turned his head, stared at the Light Bearer and said: "Lord Light Bearer, this kid finally picked up a fish from the ground.
Life, if you hurt him, I will have one less person to work with."
While they were talking, several more people from the hunter team gathered around, and the situation was somewhat stalemate. Mark said soft words, but his attitude was very tough and he would not give in even a step.
So it was the Church of Light and Shadow that gave in.
This kind of thing has happened too many times between the Hunters and the Church of Light and Shadow. The reckless man who goes to the ground to fight for his life and the superior master are always unable to deal with it.
The conflict was resolved, but the conflict would only get deeper and deeper. Mark didn't care and continued to deal with the hunter team.
Storage of supplies, treatment of the wounded, redistribution of resources for the dead, ammunition supply, weapon maintenance, and training of new personnel transferred.
When everything went smoothly the next day, he went to the Pigeon Cage to find 0609, and inquired about the mysterious man's visit to the lighthouse in the 12th year.
As a result, we only found out that it was a white-haired beauty of seventeen or eighteen years old brought here by the first Hunter commander and current city lord Morgan, and then this woman disappeared mysteriously.
It was so similar to the situation when I brought back Mu Chenxing.
What exactly happened is still unknown.
He returned to the Hunter's base depressed, and then received even more depressing news.
Teacher Elon's bone age is already seventy and he will travel far tomorrow. The lighthouse does not support useless people. Even if he makes outstanding contributions to the lighthouse, he will eventually be reduced to the ground.
Mark knew very well how dangerous the ground was. He said he was traveling far away, but in fact he was risking his own death.
This is the damn apocalypse!
His brows were knitted into a knot, and he gritted his teeth tightly to hold back the resentful words in his mouth.
In this world, complaining is useless.
Turning around and sending the teacher away, his teeth were almost broken.
But life had to go on, and the hunter had to make full preparations for the next battle. He went to Jing Nan, the commander of the navigation control room and the scientific research department, to discuss the matter of refitting the aircraft into a heavy plane.
Things went smoothly. If Ran Bing hadn't seen that his hang glider was malfunctioning, his mood might have improved.
Couldn't this woman have been naughty at times since she was a child?!
After all his efforts, he jumped from a height of 2,000 meters and finally rescued the person. However, her confession reminded Mark of his sister Hongkou and Li Xiao.
They also violated the three laws because of love, and watched helplessly as they were burned to ashes by the flames.
My sister is the second commander of the Hunters, the apprentice brought up by the city lord himself, Li Xiao is her adjutant, and she is one of the few warriors on the lighthouse. She has made outstanding achievements and made extraordinary contributions, but she was still executed at the stake.
He is now also the commander of the Hunters and is in love with his adjutant. Will what happened more than ten years ago happen again?
But he didn't want to see his beloved burned to death. He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want Ran Bing to die.
Nothing is more important than living.
"Don't say these words again." Mark steeled himself and turned to leave.
Please, don't say such things again, you will die!
