Chapter 344 Planetary Transformation (Seeking monthly pass on the last day of the month!)
"Flesh and blood colonization suit, interesting!"
Shinji Mochizuki agreed with Lin Xian's description. He said directly: "There is a certain degree of technical difficulty between the two. In a sense, human ghosts are just a variant of zombies, that is, humans mutated. Of course, we have every reason to speculate that they are trying to expand this technology. Not only the Crimson World, but other organizations including the Phoenix Order are also conducting similar research, but for different purposes."
Ever since humans captured the first strange creature on Apocalypse Day, they have never stopped studying dark creatures. To overcome the global polar night disaster, we must first defeat these unknown creatures.
It's just that the official research of the Phoenix Society is about the existence form, communication method, survival and weaknesses of this kind of creatures, and Lin Xian found it a little hard to believe that the cult technology tree of Flesh Colonization Armor was pointed out by the Crimson World.
"However, whether it is the mycelium brain converter or the dark energy invasion suppression device, the fact that they can achieve this is enough to show that the Crimson World is indeed far ahead of us in the research of the dark field." Shinji Mochizuki added.
Ning Jing's expression was somewhat complicated, and she frowned and said, "So, this kind of red ghost not only has human consciousness, but can also survive in the dark?"
“Only in theory.”
Qian Suxun explained seriously: "I have come into contact with them several times, and the conclusion I have drawn is that they are very powerful and are not affected by the invasion of darkness, but their consciousness is not completely controllable. I can only say that they are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary people."
KIKI held his chin with his hand as if thinking: "I understand, they must have used digital life and mecha neural interaction technology, but the control of the mycelium brain is still a difficult problem, otherwise, humans can really colonize strange bodies to fight back against darkness..."
Lin Xian was sitting next to KIKI. When he heard her words, his heart trembled slightly, because he inexplicably felt that the myriad of threads in the darkness seemed to gradually converge into a core direction.
That's adaptation.
During the escape, all the survivors realized that darkness was adapting to the world, and humans were also adapting to darkness.
After Shinji Mochizuki explained the expansion principle of the Star Abyss, it further proved that the dark world might be attacking the Blue Planet through the "Dark Tide" mode.
Planet terraforming!
But after seeing the mother nest, Lin Xian's understanding of the existence of these dark creatures became even more vague. He originally thought that the so-called C-level, B-level, and A-level weird bodies might be the social population relations of the "dark civilization" of weird bodies, but now it seems that it is completely impossible to explain it using human sociology.
But he knew that the direction of the Phoenix Society, the City of Silence, and Shinji Mochizuki was correct. The most core issue for mankind at present was not to expand military power or evolve itself, but to understand the darkness.
Only by understanding the invasion of darkness and the enemy can we understand what humanity is facing.
Since the Day of Apocalypse, there has been no plan, no goal, and as of D-100, the official government is still in a state of confusion.
It is precisely because humans have no idea what the enemy is, or even what doomsday is, that the entire world is in such a chaotic state of total collapse at dawn.
"So you want us to cooperate, take down the White City Research Institute in the Crimson World, obtain their research data, and then leave." Lin Xian looked at Mochizuki Shinji and said.
"Yes, mycelium technology, mechanical colonization equipment, and all their research data on the Star Abyss, Dark Invasion, Disaster Plants, Taboo Objects, etc."
Shinji Mochizuki rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "Let's assume that the Crimson World has been researching this for more than a month. According to the speed of time here, it has been more than a year."
"Moreover, 1,000 professor-level scientists are working 24 hours a day, iterating their consciousness memory and conducting research at all costs." Qian Dele echoed.
"Wow." KIKI crossed her arms and said with a twinkling look in her eyes, "And they must have...more than one such research institute."
After everyone's comments, they began to realize how terrible this matter was.
Of course, for everyone, the primary trouble is that the people of the Crimson World are targeting them. After all, according to Lin Xian’s plan, even if the electromagnetic catapult shuttle is successfully completed, it must depart from White City. If this problem is not solved, both the joint train and the Silent City will be at great risk.
"So, do you have any way to solve the self-destruct device of the memory mycelium converter?" Qian Suxun asked Lin Xian at this time.
This is an extremely tricky problem at the moment. The people in the Crimson World have obviously put a lot of thought into keeping secrets. Not to mention the encryption level of the consciousness memory, a self-destruct device alone is troublesome enough.
The lifespan of those clones is extremely short, and their self-destruct devices will be activated immediately if they encounter danger or death. In addition, the danger level in the Star Abyss itself makes it difficult for even Shinji Mochizuki to solve this problem, even with his extremely high industrial and technological capabilities and strong team strength.
"Oh, that's easy."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lin Xian just pointed at Qian Suxun's table and said, "Is this the thing you are talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Suxun's gaze moved downwards in surprise, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Next to his teacup, a brand new silver brain-computer device had quietly appeared. It was exactly the same as the one on the bodies of the two researchers in the Crimson World!
"What!"
Qian Suxun's face was filled with shock: "You... don't tell me you just made this?!"
"Almost. I know a thing or two about mechanics." Lin Xian said directly.
Just after the two corpses appeared, Lin Xian had already scanned the brain-computer conversion device on the corpse. The device had a high degree of integration, but Lin Xian had once devoured and scanned the large survival capsule and conversion device at the Zero Element Center. In comparison, this new brain-computer conversion device was even simpler. Coupled with his manufacturing proficiency, it was very easy for him to make such a conversion device.
For Shinji Mochizuki, the goal is to insert the consciousness memory already on it, but the trouble lies here. Once it is destroyed, no valid information can be obtained. But for Lin Xian, he can directly control the conversion device. Even if the clone researcher is smashed, as long as there is a brain left, Lin Xian can ensure that the consciousness memory on it will not be destroyed. This is why he didn't take it too seriously when Shinji Mochizuki mentioned this issue before.
Qian Suxun stared at the mycelium brain-computer converter on the table in shock, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Oh, it took us a week to complete the microelectrode array and FPGA chip replication of this thing, and there are a lot of troublesome nano-scale neural probes, and we haven't finished the analysis of the mycelium barrier material yet. You finished it in 5 minutes?"
Seeing this scene, Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian with great interest, as if he was becoming more and more interested in him.
"Wow, it's only been a week. You guys are pretty impressive."
KIKI said with some surprise. There was no sarcasm in her words because she knew how troublesome it was to deal with these things under such extreme circumstances. Removing the BUG factor of Lin Xian, facing a complex and unfamiliar brain-computer device, replicating the microelectrode array and FPGA chip required very professional equipment and a large research institute, not to mention reverse engineering such as parsing unknown metal materials.
"Let's get back to the second question." Lin Xian asked Shinji Mochizuki, "If you achieve your goal, how are you going to leave the Silent City?"
In Lin Xian's opinion, the biggest trouble still comes from the Star Abyss and the strange body. If the Silent City is targeted by the Star Abyss monster, he can't think of any way to solve this ultimate problem.
Kill the Star Abyss Overlord?
I'm afraid that at present, even if all the human beings gather together, they can't do this, let alone a group of survivors who can only hide in the safe zone...
“Good question!”
Shinji Mochizuki answered directly: "This is indeed a tricky one. My original plan was to use the power of the special disaster plant. Well, this thing is extremely attractive to strange entities, especially those above the lord level, but the overall calculation of the success rate of escape can only increase by 2%-3%. But now I have a new plan, which can allow your joint train team, oh yes, including those people named Hu, to have more than 70% chance of escaping Xingyuan."
"What plan?"
Shinji Mochizuki looked at Lin Xian and smiled: "Let Silent City take off to attract the Star Abyss Overlord. As the old saying goes, lure the tiger away from the mountain. Wouldn't this solve the problem perfectly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed, even Sensu Shun was confused, and looked at Mochizuki Shinji with puzzlement.
When Lin Xian heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
"I don't understand. Didn't you just say that the reason you were trapped here was because of your main city? But now you want to abandon it?"
Just now he was talking about leading human civilization to a distant star, but now his solution is to use the Silent City to lure away the monsters and leave?
Isn't this contradictory?
KIKI, Chen Sixuan and others were also confused at this time, completely unable to understand Mochizuki Shinji's train of thought.
Mochizuki Shinji seemed to have anticipated everyone's reactions. He walked leisurely to Lin Xian, squatted down again, looked at Lin Xian, and said with interest.
"Lin, you have great potential in your abilities. Be bold. As long as we can get out successfully, we can definitely..."
"Let's create another silent city."
Hearing this, KIKI on the side suddenly widened her eyes and took a cold breath. Lin Xian looked at Shinji Mochizuki hesitantly. This guy had a smile on his lips and his tone was extremely serious, which made him a little unpredictable.
The whole place was silent. Before anyone could react, Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian's hesitant eyes and changed the subject, smiling.
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously. But imagine for a moment, don't you want your train to fly into the sky or cross the ocean? Even if you reach the poles, you still have to deal with the sky curtain, right? With your mechanical abilities, you can build a super-large floating city to shelter hundreds of millions of people. It must be a great sense of accomplishment."
Lin Xian smiled slightly and said nothing. He naturally realized that the other party's words seemed like a joke but were actually a test. How could the other party really use Silent City to escape for him?
But it was impossible for Shinji Mochizuki not to be shocked by what he had just said. All his previous plans were based on the Infinity, and then developed and upgraded through his own mechanical abilities. He had never had such a grand concept.
When this once world's top genius, the Lord of Silent City, expressed such a prospect to him, Lin Xian was undoubtedly excited, but he knew very well that with his current level of mechanical ability, it would be extremely difficult to create another Infinity, let alone a floating city.
"OK." After saying that, Mochizuki Shinji stood up and said leisurely, "The actual plan is that I will use one of the four separate floating cities of Silent City to launch into space, inject excessive tritium to increase the reaction rate exponentially, and produce a tritium proliferation effect. After exceeding the magnetic field constraint limit, it will overload and lose control, balabala~ In this way, we will have a large hydrogen bomb. Although it may lead to increased instability in Star Abyss No. 5 and the weird bodies of the mother nest creatures to improve their adaptation and conversion to nuclear energy, but...whatever...we will obtain the key escape opportunity and time, and our goal will be achieved."
Shinji Mochizuki finished speaking in one breath. It sounded like he had had such a plan for a long time, and it was not difficult to operate. This confirmed Lin Xian's previous guess that Shinji Mochizuki had more ambitions than just escaping from the Silent City.
Then, Shinji Mochizuki clicked on a holographic view, which explained his plan and its contents in detail.
According to his plan, the entire team can only hold out for about 15 days at most, and during this time, Shinji Mochizuki has actually gained a lot. His intelligent brain core quickly solved the analytical formula for dark invasion and prepared a material structure called [Black Crystal], which can shield dark invasions with an efficiency of 10% in a short period of time. Although this thing is obviously still in its infancy, it is definitely an exciting breakthrough for all mankind, indicating that Shinji Mochizuki is very likely to have found the right direction. At the same time, he has also obtained a lot of useful information in the Star Abyss. If these successes are made public, their impact will definitely be no less than the shock to all mankind caused by the discovery of the 'Dark Mark' in Xilan City!
But because of the appearance of Lin Xian, Mochizuki Shinji decided to cooperate with each other and advance the evacuation plan!
As for Lin Xian, the original plan of the magnetic levitation flight remained unchanged. Cooperating with Shinji Mochizuki actually saved him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if it weren't for Shinji Mochizuki's reminder, he might have gotten into big trouble if he ventured to the Silent City.
Not to mention the behemoth of the abyss, just the strange internal tides and the red man monster would make Lin Xian drink a pot.
After Lin Xian reached a consensus with Mochizuki Shinji, Mochizuki Shinji gathered a group of key members and asked Sensu Shun to synchronize the intelligence they had obtained about White City with everyone.
From the other party, Lin Xian and others learned that the secret research institute of White City in the Crimson World was just below the sewage treatment plant. Many robots and monitoring equipment were set up for protection. In addition, there was the Red Man Ghost... and the Merlion statue floating above.
"Every 4-6 days, the Crimson World will send a transport ship from a specific direction outside Xingyuan to Baicheng according to the law of the inner tide, carrying a 'scientific research team' of about 150 people. According to the outside world time, it is only about 12 hours. Their route must have gone through countless 'death' experiments, and the probability of encountering dark weird bodies is very small. If they die, they will continue to transmit through the information returned by the signal repeater. Because of the redshift effect, the information nodes that can be received by the outside world are already very weak. So similarly, Xingyuan will also choose a time to transport the 'experimental data' out, and what we have to do is to intercept these replicants who go out."
Qiansu Shun stood in front of a holographic map and gave Lin Xian and others a detailed introduction to the plan. At this time, Ryunosuke Amano Ran and other core members of Silent City were also present.
KIKI narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and said very seriously: "But those replicants must be alive to take the memory out. In the Xingyuan environment of more than a thousand kilometers, the signal repeater will not be of much use."
"Yes, but there are many clones in the Crimson World." The short-haired woman, Amano Ran, said in a powerful voice, "We have seen too many of them. They were originally some pitiful survivors."
Lin Xian said to Qian Suxun: "What she meant is that the research data of the Crimson World in White City cannot be sent entirely by unknown sources. Some key R&D nodes must be backed up. If this trip cannot go out, the next trip in will be able to catch up with the research progress."
"You're right." Qian Suxun nodded. "According to our guess, there must be an integrated backup in the research institute of the sewage treatment plant. But by comparison, intercepting the replicants who go out is less risky and more efficient, because the replicants who go out must be carrying the latest progress of the 'consciousness memory' and research data content. In addition to the red man ghost, the sewage treatment plant also has a giant fish-lion statue. If anyone observes its front, it will release a high-intensity dark invasion and trigger some kind of spatial effect, so it is difficult to get close."
After hearing Qian Suxun's words, Lin Xian and the others understood the characteristics of the giant fish-lion statue. No wonder Shi Diyuan, Ning Jing and Lin Xian almost had a mental breakdown after seeing the statue. It turned out that they saw the front of the statue.
Ning Jing said at this time: "I understand what you mean, but apart from the giant statue, the biggest trouble is some robots and red ghosts, and the rest are some researchers. With so many of us, it may not be difficult to destroy them all at once."
"What they are worried about is alerting the enemy. Once the Crimson World's lair is breached, there must be some kind of self-destruct program to destroy the data." Qian Dele said seriously at this time.
"Humph, haven't I already said that the people in the Crimson World know about the existence of Silent City, so there's no need to alert them." Monica crossed her arms and said, "I just can't understand why they know you're targeting them, but they're still so fearless. Could it be that they can control the colossus?"
"Hey, why did that colossus appear in Aksai and here again?" KIKI asked at this time.
"That Merlion statue was transformed from the symbol of Lion City. There are three of them in total. The Crimson World brought two of them out of Star Abyss, thus triggering some kind of black wave anchor effect in Star Abyss, causing irregular expansion." Qian Suxun replied.
"Isn't the Colossus unable to be observed? How did they take it out?" Ning Jing was a little confused.
"It's easy. Just watch one person die each time and use human lives to pull them out." Ryunosuke, who was wearing a black hood, spoke in a low voice. He sat there, with the hood and mask almost completely covering his face, but his eyes seemed to be always fixed in the direction of KIKI. In his opinion, the ability of this telekinetic girl seemed to make him a little afraid and curious.
"But...what's the purpose of doing this?" Chen Sixuan looked at Mochizuki Shinji in surprise and asked, "Is it just to target Silent City and us?"
"That's not very clear at the moment." Sensu Shun shrugged and said, "We can't get information from the outside world, but Shinji has deduced that if the 5th and 7th star abysses expand rapidly to both sides, then all the survivors of the entire Yunjiang Plain will not be able to escape, and can only wait to be swallowed alive by the 3, 4, 5, and 6 four star abysses."
As soon as these words were spoken, the control room fell silent.
"Let's go back to the White City Research Institute. In fact, they have a very simple self-protection procedure." At this time, Mochizuki Shinji answered everyone's doubts: "If the institute is attacked, they only need to use the clones to trigger the Dark Mark and cause a large-scale monster wave to erupt in the city, because those clones are consumables. After all the people inside are dead and cleared, they will send the next batch in. Anyway, a day of massacre inside will only take two hours outside, so the efficiency is extremely high. This is why they are fearless."
Lin Xian looked at him and said, "But you have been active in this for so long, they will definitely take it seriously."
"So we have to hurry up. After all, one day of theirs is equal to 12 days in White City. We can't live that long." Mochizuki Shinji said with a smile.
Lin Xian nodded. At this time, the plan to intercept the transport ship had been formulated. What the exploration team of the joint train needed to do was to cooperate with the people of Silent City and take over the Crimson World transport ship at a very fast speed while taking advantage of the short one-hour low tide of the inner tide. They also ensured that the consciousness and memory of the survivors inside would not be damaged. Then, they would take advantage of the delay in information between here and the outside world to quickly complete the leap of the joint train and escape overnight along with Shinji Mochizuki's floating city plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
"The next action of the Crimson World may be in 9 hours and 15 minutes." Qian Suxun finished explaining all the actions, looked at the time and said: "Our expectations may not be completely accurate, so we have to wait in advance. The error should not be within two tidal times."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian exchanged glances with Ning Jing and the others, and then said, "Okay, since we are acting together, you will be in charge of the command."
Silent City is obviously more familiar with the situation in White City than Lin Xian and his team, and the plan was also made by them, so it would be better to let them take the lead.
"No." Unexpectedly, at this time, Senju Shun smiled and said, "I am not the commander. All the surveillance cameras in the city are under Shinji's control, so we just need to unify the channel."
"OK."
After Lin Xian finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to take the team out to discuss and synchronize the information and plans with the joint train team at the Bottomless Lake.
The entire plan must be linked together. From what Mochizuki Shinji said, time is not on their side, so they must seize the opportunity. If they miss it, they will have to wait for several days. They will also face the countermeasures that the Crimson World may prepare. If they succeed, they must also take advantage of the low tide to complete the leap quickly. Any omission may lead to total failure.
"Forest."
At this time, Mochizuki Shinji suddenly called Lin Xian and looked at him meaningfully: "Is it convenient for me to talk to you alone?"
Lin Xian looked at him, then turned back to look at Ning Jing and Chen Sixuan.
Ning Jing immediately understood: "Don't worry, Captain Lin, I will synchronize with Lao Shi and the others."
Chen Sixuan also nodded at Lin Xian.
Soon, everyone in the Silent City and the exploration team left the main control room, leaving Lin Xian alone to face Mochizuki Shinji.
"You want to know all my supernatural properties, right?" Lin Xian looked at Shinji Mochizuki who had a leisurely expression and went straight to the point.
"I guess so." Shinji Mochizuki made no secret of it. "I'm very curious about your ability. Ever since that annoying businessman used your information as intelligence and exchanged a lot of materials with me, I have learned about you from many channels. Mechanical ability, wow, don't you think your ability... is very different from others'?"
"Of course there is a difference." Lin Xian said speechlessly.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Mochizuki Shinji said meaningfully, "You can control Shun's ACS robot in a short period of time, and you can also disconnect the motion module on it, so your ability is not just Ryunosuke's simple grabbing and taking down, nor is it some kind of physical mutation caused by the influence of darkness, element control, your ability is regular and creative, how to say it, your ability is more like..."
Shinji Mochizuki looked at Lin Xian with burning eyes and said, "A special program from a human being in a higher dimension?"
Lin Xian was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Mochizuki Shinji to come to such a conclusion. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
Mochizuki Shinji looked at him with a smile: "Sorry, I was just guessing."
After saying that, before Lin Xian could respond, he changed the subject and looked at Lin Xian with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, by the way, is that silver bullet with you?"
