In the glorious sunshine, a planet is rapidly approaching its demise.The sunny side of Zom bursts like a salute under the light of the stars, and the thick rock layers melt, explode, vaporize, are torn off by gravity and sprinkled gorgeously and magnificently into space, and the whole planet rotates while constantly spilling hundreds of millions of tons of astral matter, in the most spectacular way towards the end of the planet.And on the back side of Drom, a bridge of life is spending the last six hours before the end of the day trying to save the civilization that once lived on this planet.The formations near the equator bloomed like flower buds, countless huge tentacles between plants and animals snaked between the earth's crust, pushing aside the rock formations that towered higher than the mountain peaks, and a mass of flesh, plants, and machinery vibrated slightly in the center of this huge "bud", and the red light it emitted was now the most striking light on the back of the drum.This whole structure is like a huge and friendless flower of life, blooming in this hellish world that is about to fall into the scorching sun.The Giant Tortoise Rock is like a silver-white bird, deftly hovering over the core of the "Flower of Life", connecting a large number of cables and pipes to the heart of the planet, extracting Zhuomu's 1.6 billion souls like a hummingbird collecting honey.A probe drone flying over the planet captured the spectacular and rare scene, which was quickly posted on the censors' communication platforms.Censors often post images recorded in their missions on this platform, and Hao Ren is now gradually getting into the habit of doing so.Not to show off his exploits, which he did not need to show off in front of his colleagues, he recorded and published them only to remember every step he took, but also to record every civilization and every landscape he encountered: for these landscapes are always easy to fade away.Just like the Zom in front of him."
At present, the progress is good, the bandwidth is just enough," the data terminal has been paying attention to the transmission of souls, "Thanks to Imperial Technology, we have known how to transcode souls since many tens of thousands of years ago, otherwise it is not so easy to upload and download souls." ”Hao Ren patted his chest with some fear: "I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't set up these drone swarms at that time......"
"If you want to show off your foresight, just say it," Lily glanced at him, and then wagged her tail, "But then again......
Landlord, you were really far-sighted at the time, and you usually don't even see it. ”Vivian smiled when she heard this: "Normally, we can't see that you can graduate from Peking University four times." ”As things went smoothly, the atmosphere in the spaceship seemed to lighten up, and everyone started joking again.However, Hao Ren never took his eyes off the console during the process, and at this critical moment, he didn't want anything to go wrong.Time passed silently, unbearably slow, Hao Ren didn't know how long he had been staring at the console, he only knew that Vivien had brought a cup of tea in the middle to give him a little rest, but soon he was back in the captain's seat.The amount of data from 1.6 billion human souls plus the soul of an eldest son is staggering, and even if the drone swarm optimizes the transmission structure as much as possible, it is impossible to completely transmit it in a short period of time.As time passed, the six-hour night on this side of the planet was coming to an end, and the long bar on the console indicating the progress of the transmission was still nearly a tenth unfilled.The atmosphere on the bridge quickly became tense again, and Lily stared at the image of the external monitor with wide eyes, and a flash of fire appeared in the reflection in her eyes."
The sun is rising!"
Throughout the transmission, the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform had been hovering synchronously over the data release point of Zom, slowly rotating as the planet finally spun to meet the rising sun, and a dazzling wall of fire appeared in front of the ship.The data terminal screamed: "And the last five percent!"
”Magnificent sunlight has appeared on the horizon, and the horizon under the heat is burning with a raging "fire", which is not a real flame, but a light curtain created by the refraction of sunlight as the rock vapor sprays into the sky, but its temperature is more terrifying than ordinary flames.This wall of fire began to move towards the data release point with unwavering momentum, destroying the entire world along the way!
And along with the wall of fire, there is an even more deadly stellar gravity.On the image from the external monitor, the distant horizon seemed to be rolled up strangely, and countless fragments of black matter seemed to float up towards the sun.The massive tremors had even begun to destroy the structure of the data release point in advance, and around the "Flower of Life", the earth was collapsing, huge sinkholes appeared one after another, and the firstborn tentacles inside the data release point were rapidly dyed with a layer of death's gray-black at a speed visible to the naked eye.The sunlight has finally burned through all the protective layers, and the tissues of this ancient creature are dying in large numbers.However, its central nervous system is still working tenaciously, and the console still shows the progress of the connection, which is slow but undoubtedly advancing!"
Three percent!"
As the sunlight continued to advance, the shell of the Giant Turtle Rock was finally dyed with a golden-red glow, and the fragile tissues inside the data release point were completely exposed to the scorching scorch.Having lost the protection of the strata, everything began to ignite a raging "fire"."
One percent!"
The tentacles of the eldest son had been ignited, and the burning process was strange and shocking due to the thin oxygen.Hundreds of kilometers of tentacles glow in the sunlight and then turn directly into coke, a process that advances at an astonishing rate, threatening the "heart" at the heart of the data release point almost in the blink of an eye.However, the "heart" itself is still alive, and the remnants of the entire planet have been channeled to this location, and it is sending the last bit of data to the host of the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace!
But at this moment, the data terminal suddenly lost its voice and exclaimed: "Stuck!!
”Hao Ren didn't react at once: "What's stuck?"
”A large pile of messy data flashed on the holographic projection of the console, and finally locked onto an entry, and the terminal shouted, "Nolan!
Nolan's data and communication links are not compatible!
”At this moment, the sunlight had spread to the base of the "heart", which quickly entered the process of collapse under the high temperature.The surface of the indescribable tissue and organ was suddenly covered with tendons, and then large swaths burst open, and a mixture of source blood, electrolyte, industrial oil, and flesh and blood fragments erupted in all directions.Looking at this scene, Vivian was even more anxious than Hao Ren: "What's the matter?"
”"The data link of the drone swarm was set up to a special mode of transmitting souls, but we only landed the soul codes of the Dolm and the firstborn," the terminal quickly explained, "Nolan - she's an AI!"
”Hao Ren suddenly understood.Although Nolan lives in a virtual world, she is not essentially a member of that world at all, or to be precise, she is not a member of the "creatures".Her soul belonged to the machines that kept the firstborn alive.The data link established between the drone swarm in a hurry can only be used to transmit the souls of carbon-based creatures, and this system forgot to leave a way for Nolan!
This is equivalent to forcibly sending data across the network if the protocol is incompatible, and in any case, when the data arrives at its destination, it will only be garbled.And even if the forcible transmission is successful and Nolan's data is sent to the crystal nucleus research station, the best case scenario is to send away the memory: a compressed file containing all of Nolan's memories.But without a soul is equivalent to losing the executor, the data will no longer be able to function, and others may be able to see all of Nolan's life experiences in this data, but no matter how you read them, the girl named Nolan will never respond again.Hao Ren looked at the data release point that was rapidly collapsing, but his brain did not stiffen, he squeezed out the last bit of his wisdom, and suddenly asked the terminal loudly: "The only problem is that the transmission protocol is incompatible, right?"
It's okay to preserve, right?
”"Yes......" the terminal was stunned, "What do you want to do?"
”Hao Ren didn't say anything, but quickly entered the last command on the console.At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had worked weekdays and figured out most of the operations of these high-tech equipment.The moment the final command began to be executed, the sunlight finally completely enveloped the data release point, and the brilliant light engulfed the last surviving tissue of the eldest son, and a few seconds later, a huge explosion erupted from the bottom of the data release point.All parameters on the console are also zeroed out at the same time - it's finally over.
