The newly-born steel city stood on the endless prairie. Hundreds of discharge needle towers filled with thunder light scattered high and low to form a shape like some kind of weird sharp mountain, and dotted the wilderness with lightning and halos. The entire city is a huge machine, and each of its needle towers is connected to a complex control core and a line leading to the tentacles of the eldest son. Under its control, the foundation of this planet will not collapse.
This city was named "Soul Suppressing City" by Hao Ren, not only in line with its function, but also to record those ancient spirits who spent 10,000 years suppressing the eldest son.
The soul-suppressing city is now the largest and only city on this planet, but except for the ancient spirits who participated in the construction of it, the local aborigines have not settled in it. Geisel and his clan built a temporary settlement on the side of Soul-Suppressing City, and the whole clan has moved to this place. Because of the idea of "following the guidance of the goddess", they believe that it is necessary to guard around this miracle city, and other tribes are also migrating to this place. Some members of the Fire Tribe have arrived, and they are now in the Wind Tribe next to the station.
Vivian convened the representatives of the ancient spirits in this clan settlement and asked about what happened here in the half month after she left. Although Planet Purgatory has been using a communicator to keep in touch with Hao Ren and the others, it is more reassuring to confirm some things in person.
In a special tent, Garagon reported the situation to Vivienne and Hao Ren: "The lullaby ceremony has been completely transferred to the Needle Tower Jungle, and now those machines are replacing the original work of the ancient spirits, and the transfer process is smooth , as you can see, 'Toca' is very stable."
"How effective are those machines in controlling the eldest son?" Hao Ren turned his head and asked the data terminal floating beside him.
The data terminal turned on the holographic projection: "Let the city AI tell you directly."
An expressionless, male-female human face emerged on the holographic projection, which is quite similar to the collective consciousness of the detection drone group, which is the signature feature of Xiling's low-level AI. The AI, which was born only a few days ago, greeted Hao Ren first, and then began to report the status of Soul Town City: "...all the needle towers have been successfully connected, the system is operating according to the design goal, and the body control of the eldest son has been completed. The 'lullaby' rituals performed by the Elderlings are now compiled into software. Run directly by this system at an efficiency of 80 percent - can be increased to 100 percent after further data is collected."
Hao Ren nodded. Then ask the AI: "How far can you control the eldest son?"
The city AI sent a bunch of dizzying charts: "Control of all tentacles, control of all organs, control of all subsidiary glands and biological factories related to the maintenance of the ecosystem. Before successfully taking over and restarting the large tentacles related to atmospheric control and temperature control, the control rate has reached 87%. Considering that the remaining 13% are structures without a nervous system, it can be considered that Control is perfect."
Hao Ren rubbed his chin and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, so we finally artificially created the brain of an eldest son—can the technology of this soul-suppressing city be applied to other eldest sons?"
The city AI replied in an emotionless voice: "It is theoretically possible, but it should be extremely difficult to operate. This system encountered strong resistance from underground biological organizations in the early days of taking over control. Facts have proved that even if the 'eldest son' loses his brain and Soul, its physical instinct is still very strong. On this basis, it should be extremely difficult to control an eldest son with a brain and a soul."
Hao Ren pulled back his wandering thoughts just now, thinking that this is not bad: at least the research project has taken another big step forward. Then he pointed upwards, pointing to the sky through the tarpaulin of the tent: "The Fiari have already begun to cut the surface crust, and during this process, the divine protection left by the goddess—I mean our local goddess—will automatically close , this planet will begin to receive the energy of sunlight normally. You have to do a good job of switching the system.”
The purgatory planet has operated completely without star illumination for the past 10,000 years. It has formed a complex and efficient self-circulation system. This system not only includes the surface crust and the cloud top above, but also includes the entire ecological circle of this underground space. Now the sun is about to shine on the earth. Powerful natural energies will fill this system that has been depleted for many years, and the planet must adapt extremely quickly. Otherwise the power of sunlight will quickly destroy the existing ecosystem. The reason why Hao Ren waited for the completion of the soul-suppressing city before allowing the Fialis to start construction was for this reason: he could use the power of the eldest son to switch the ecological mode of this planet, so as to successfully pass through the initial stage after opening the crust.
The city AI accepted the order and said that a set of feasible solutions had been injected into the various organs of the eldest son: as the surface crust disintegrated, the base of the giant tree of Tianzhu would be reactivated, and new microorganisms for regulating air pressure and light filtering Swarms are released into the atmosphere. After that, there is still a quite long fine-tuning process. By constantly changing the composition of the atmosphere and creating functional giant flora, the urban AI intends to make this planet completely complete within 600 to 1,000 years (Earth time). On Tracks.
After talking about the eldest son, Vivian turned to Garagon and the ancient spirits: "Tell me about you, do you have any plans for the future?"
Garagon lowered his head slightly: "Your will is our arrangement."
Vivienne is not quite used to the other party's pious attitude. She moved back unobtrusively: "Eh... you have completed your mission, and you have done a good job. To be honest, I don't know how to arrange you. After all, I only have part of the memory of that year. So if you If you have any wishes and requests, just say so, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you: this is the treatment you deserve."
Garagon raised his head and communicated with another soul beside him, and then the other souls also exchanged opinions with each other. Their conversation was silent, relying on spiritual resonance to complete the conversation. Hao Ren felt that the scene was just a group of ghost shadows swaying around, and then they made some kind of decision. A soul came forward. He was Pan Dong, the former leader of the Templar Knights of the Sun Dynasty: "My lord, we hope to stay in the world and teach our children to get rid of ignorance again."
This answer was expected by Hao Ren, he just said casually: "It will take a long time."
Pan Dong smiled: "We are no longer afraid of time."
Such was the decision of the Elders, that after their long quest to serve the Goddess they were now to do something for their kind. The technology of this world has been dated for 10,000 years (5,000 years according to the local calendar), and the magic civilization that once could go to heaven and earth is now degraded like primitive tribes, but knowledge itself has not disappeared, and they still exist in the ancient spirits. in memory. Garagon and his subjects will once again become the leaders of these people of the sun, passing on the knowledge and skills of the ancient times to their young and ignorant heirs.
This will probably take a long time—it is not enough to instill theory alone in rebuilding a civilization, it also requires the uninterrupted evolution of ideas from generation to generation.
But as Pan Dong said, they are no longer afraid of time.
Surrounded by the souls, Hao Ren and the others left the big tent. Geisel and Bonia stood at the door, who had been waiting for a long time. The little saint dozed off again, and when Hao Ren came out, he happened to see a snot bubbling on the little girl's face. After being woken up by Geisel, Bernia quickly wiped her face and ran to Vivienne in a hurry. Garagon put his hand on the little girl's head lovingly: "Do you like stories from ancient times?"
Bernia immediately nodded vigorously.
"Very well, then let us old guys take you for another ride." Garagon nodded with a smile, "The people of the sun will flourish and multiply in this land again."
Bernia nodded half-understood. Now she is too young to fully understand the heavy meaning of the word "racial rejuvenation". Maybe it will be decades later when she stands at the gate of the first city-state of the New Sun Dynasty. Only by looking at the high wall can we know the future destiny of this world.
"This city is for you to live in," Vivienne and Hao Ren exchanged views, then pointed to the tower in Soul Town City not far away and said to Garagon, "You can get the energy to maintain yourself from the tower. From now on, this will be your Hall of Valor, and you will continue to guard this world as Heroic Spirits."
At the top of the Tianzhu giant tree in the distance, a thick rock dome was cut, and it flew into space under the traction of the anti-gravity field, and a ray of sunlight that had been gone for thousands of years penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the earth.
This is the first day of the new solar calendar. (to be continued~^~)
