The newborn steel city stands on the vast savannah, and hundreds of lightning-filled discharge pins fall to the ground in a staggered shape like some kind of eerie spike, and dot the wilderness with lightning and halos.The whole city is a huge machine, and every one of its needles is under its control, so that the foundations of this planet will not collapse.The city was named the "City of Soul Towns" by Hao Ren, both in line with its role and to record the ancient spirits who spent 10,000 years to suppress their eldest son.Soul Town is now the largest and only city on the planet, but it is currently not occupied by the local natives other than the ancient spirits who participated in its construction.Geisel and his people have built a temporary settlement on the side of the town of Soul City, and the entire clan has relocated to this place.Because of the idea of "following the guidance of the goddess", they felt the need to defend the perimeter of the city of miracles, and other tribes were migrating to this place, and some members of the Fire Tribe had already arrived, and they were now next to the Wind Tribe's station.Vivien summoned the representatives of the Spirits in the colony and asked about what had happened here in the half month since she left.Although the Planet of Purgatory has been using a communicator to keep in touch with Hao Ren and them, some things are more reassuring to confirm in person.In a special tent, Gragon reported to Vivien and Haoren: "The lullaby ritual has been completely transferred to the Needle Jungle, and now the machines are taking the place of the spirits, and the transfer process is going well, as you can see, the state of 'Toka' is very stable. ”"How well do those machines control the eldest son?"
Hao Ren turned his head and asked the data terminal floating next to him.The data terminal turned on the holographic projection: "Let the city AI tell you directly." ”The holographic projection reveals an expressionless, indistinguishable human face, similar to the collective consciousness of detecting a swarm of drones, a hallmark feature of Helling's low-level AI.The AI, which had only been born for a few days, first greeted Hao Ren, and then began to report on the state of the soul city: "......
All the needles have been successfully connected, and the system has been operated according to the design goal, completing the body control of the eldest son.The 'lullaby' ritual that was originally performed by the spirits is now compiled into software and run directly from the system at an efficiency of 80 percent – up to 100 percent after further data is collected. ”Hao Ren nodded, and then asked the AI: "To what extent can you control your eldest son?"
”The city AI sent a dizzying array of charts: "Control of all tentacles, control of all organs, control of all accessory glands and biofactories related to the maintenance of the biosphere."
Seventy-two hours ago, the system successfully took over and reactivated the large tentacles related to atmospheric control and temperature control, and the control rate reached 87 per cent.Considering that the remaining 13 percent are structures that do not have a nervous system, it can be considered that the control has been perfected. ”Hao Ren touched his chin and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, so let's finally artificially create a brain of the eldest son - can the technology of this soul city be applied to other eldest sons?"
”The urban AI replied in an emotionless voice: "Theoretically possible, but it should be extremely difficult to operate."
The system was met with strong resistance from underground organisms in the early days of taking over control, and the 'firstborn' proved to have strong physical instincts even after losing his brain and soul.On this basis, it should be extremely difficult to control an eldest son with a brain and a soul. ”Hao Ren pulled back his somewhat divergent thinking, and said in his heart that this is not bad: at least the research project has made a big step forward.Then he stretched out his finger and pointed upwards, pointing to the sky through the tarpaulin of the tent: "The Fiyali have begun to cut the surface crust, and in the process, the divine shelter left by the goddess - I mean our native goddess - will automatically shut down, and the planet will begin to receive the energy of the sun's rays normally.You need to do a good job of switching systems. ”The Infernal Planet, which has operated completely without stellar illumination for the past 10,000 years, has developed a complex and efficient system of self-circulation, which includes not only the surface crust and the cloud tops beyond, but also the entire ecosystem of this subterranean space.Now that the sun is about to shine on the earth, the powerful natural energy will fill this system that has been dry for years, and the planet must adapt at a rapid pace, or the power of sunlight will quickly destroy the existing ecosystem.The reason why Hao Ren waited for the completion of the Soul City to let the Fiyali people start work was for this reason: he could use the power of his eldest son to switch the ecological mode of the planet, so as to successfully pass the initial stage after opening the earth's crust.The city AI accepted the order, saying that a workable solution had been injected into the organs of the firstborn: as the surface crust disintegrated, the base of the pillar tree would be reactivated, and new microbiomes used to regulate air pressure and light filtration would be released into the atmosphere.After that, there is a rather lengthy process of fine-tuning, and by constantly changing the composition of the atmosphere and creating functional giant flora, the urban AI intends to get the planet completely and completely on track within 600 to 1,000 years (Earth time).After talking about the firstborn, Vivien turned to Gragon and the spirits, "Tell me about you, what are your plans for the future?"
”Gragon lowered his head slightly: "Your will is our arrangement. ”Vivien wasn't quite used to the other party's reverent attitude, and she moved back imperceptibly: "Uh......
You've done your job, and you're doing a good job.To be honest, I don't know what to do with you, after all, I only have a part of the memory of those years.So if you have any desires or requests, just say that I will satisfy you as long as I can: this is what you deserve. ”Gragon looked up and communicated with the other soul beside him, and then the other souls exchanged ideas with each other.Their conversation was silent, relying on spiritual resonance to complete the conversation, and Hao Ren felt that this scene was just a group of ghost shadows dangling, and then they made some kind of decision.A soul stepped forward, he was Pan, the former Templar leader of the Sun Dynasty?
Higashi: "My lord, we hope to remain in the world and teach our children to free themselves from ignorance again. ”This reply was expected by Hao Ren, and he only said casually: "This will take a long time." ”Pan?
Dong smiled: "We are not afraid of time. ”This was the decision of the ancient spirits, and after completing their long mission of devotion to the goddess, they now had to do something for their people.The technology of this world has been broken for 10,000 years (5,000 years according to the local calendar), and the magical civilization that once could go to heaven and earth is now degraded like primitive tribes, but the knowledge itself has not disappeared, it still exists in the memory of the ancient spirits.Gragon and his courtiers are to become the leaders of these people of the sun once again, passing on the knowledge and skills of antiquity to their young, ignorant children.It will probably take a long time – it is not enough to rebuild a civilization by inculcating theories, it will take continuous ideological evolution from generation to generation.But like Pan?
As Dong said, they are not afraid of time.Hao Ren and the others left the tent surrounded by spirits, and Geezel and Bernia stood at the door waiting for a long time.The little saint dozed off again, and when Hao Ren came out, she just saw a snot bubble on the little girl's face.After being woken up by Geisel, Bernia quickly wiped her face and hurriedly ran to Vivien's side, and Gragon lovingly put her hand on the top of the little girl's head: "Do you like the stories of ancient times?"
”Bernia immediately nodded vigorously."
Very well, then let us old fellows take you another ride," Gragon smiled and nodded, "The people of the sun will thrive again on this land." ”Bernia nodded as if she didn't understand, she was still too young to fully understand the heavy meaning of the words "racial revival", maybe it would be a few decades later, when she stood on the high wall of the first city-state of the New Sun Dynasty to understand the future fate of this world."
This city is for you to live in," Vivien said to Gragon, pointing to the tower of Soul Suppression not far away, after exchanging opinions with Hao Ren, "You can get the energy from the tower to sustain yourself.From now on, this is your Valhalla, and you will continue to protect this world as Heroic Spirits. ”At the top of the Pillar Tree in the distance, a heavy rock dome was cut open and flew into space under the traction of the anti-gravity field, and a ray of sunlight that had been separated for thousands of years pierced through the clouds and scattered on the earth.This is the first day of the new solar calendar.
