Chapter 351: Sailing to the Far Star!

Baicheng West Mountain underground nuclear fortress, the lowest main control room, all the equipment and energy of the entire fortress seem to be integrated and controlled here.

Lin Xian initially thought Mochizuki Zhensi was a manager, but he didn't expect that he himself was the 'brain' hub here.

Not only that, he was also the intelligent core of the entire Silent City.

This point made the people of the exploration team feel surprised. Who could have thought that a former global tycoon would really digitize his life.

However, after scanning, Lin Xian discovered some differences between Mochizuki Zhensi and Grace. He inexplicably felt that the Mochizuki Zhensi in front of him might not be entirely a robot.

Because it is impossible for soul-swinging value fluctuations to exist on a robot.

In the huge main control room, the lights were bright, countless cables gathered, Mochizuki Zhensi let the drone move the exquisite tea table, and several service robots handed over tea. In this underground fortress in the Star Abyss crisis, this arrangement made the exploration team feel a bit strange, as if Mochizuki Zhensi was not so afraid of death.

Lin Xian and the others took off the facial armor of the power armor at this moment. He looked up at the robot handing him tea. The face was exquisite, with the appearance style of a typical Neon Kabukicho maid. He thought again, if Mochizuki Zhensi was a robot like Grace, it seemed he really didn't need to worry about death.

"Someone doesn't want us to leave?"

Lin Xian looked at Mochizuki Zhensi, who was wearing a plain Taoist robe with his sleeves tucked and his eyes squinted, and couldn't help but say: "You mean the Deep Red World."

"No, no, no," Mochizuki Zhensi shook his head and said in a corrective tone: "This is a prediction, not specific, so my wording is existence, not a certain person or organization."

He looked at Grace behind Lin Xian and said directly: "If it's convenient, can this robot not participate in our discussion?"

"Okay." Lin Xian certainly knew Mochizuki Zhensi's worries, but this didn't matter. Out of safety considerations, he let Grace leave the main control room.

Mochizuki Zhensi was very satisfied and continued to smile:

"Hmm, let me guess. You are a mechanical psychic, and the doomsday orbital train is indeed a good plan. In my opinion, it can at least enter the top five of the 'Doomsday Survival Plan'. And you are now trapped in the Star Abyss, and you also sent a Deep Red intelligent brain robot to scout Baicheng, oh, of course, also scouted my Silent City. So combined with your mechanical psychic, I guess your plan must be related to Silent City, such as using the aircraft, propulsion engine, or some other devices above."

He walked back and forth, as if thinking, then turned back, looking at Lin Xian with those deep quantum pupils:

"But my understanding of your mechanical psychic is not high. I heard that you can swallow machines and manufacture them out of thin air?"

Hearing this, Lin Xian was a bit surprised. He looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old Mochizuki Zhensi and said directly: "Yes, but my plan is the superconducting magnetic anchor array device."

Who knew that Mochizuki Zhensi's eyes fixed when he heard this. He stared at Lin Xian, then opened his mouth, nodding and praising amazingly:

"Train plus EDS distributed magnetic levitation wire coil, and then launch the train to Baicheng to connect to the orbital station and leave? Wow... I can only say, good idea, wonderful. How to describe it, um, I like this bold and creative plan!"

"But in the current situation, the orbit must pass through Wangshankou to get out of Baicheng, which is where Silent City is located. If you can't handle the Star Abyss overlord, your plan can only be considered to have completed the first stage."

He said, walking over, squatting in front of Lin Xian's table, looking at Lin Xian with great interest:

"So let's cooperate and escape together, how about it?"

"Do we have to kill that monster that exceeds S-level?" Qian Dele drank a cup of tea and said: "I don't think we have such power."

"How to cooperate? Do you have a plan early on?" Kiki's eyes lit up at this moment, saying directly.

And Chen Sixuan looked at Mochizuki Zhensi. She frowned. For some reason, in her eyes, this Mochizuki Zhensi was very simple, not only her, but actually the others also had doubts in their hearts at this moment.

According to what the opponent said, the entire Silent City had only a few hundred people staying in the Star Abyss for nearly two months. This was definitely a huge test. According to this dark invasion concentration, for current humans, they could not survive.

You know, the first polar night wiped out 99% of humans, not to mention inside this Star Abyss?

But at the same time, Lin Xian was also very curious. If Mochizuki Zhensi really stayed in the Star Abyss for so long, what was he doing? So he asked directly.

"Are you talking about that Star Abyss giant beast, or the existence that is watching us?"

"Good question."

Mochizuki Zhensi seemed to have captured everyone's doubts, stood up slowly, hugged his hands, and said leisurely:

"First, you have doubts about Silent City being trapped and how we can survive in here for two months."

"Actually, it's very simple." He counted his fingers and explained decisively in front of Lin Xian: "In terms of supplies, robots move them from Silent City. In terms of survival, I analyzed the rules of the inner tide on the first day I came here, and everyone strictly abides by it. Dealing with dark invasion is because we have three treasures: a special disaster plant, a psychic-type psychic Star Wild Shizhi, and a reflective material I am currently developing. The progress is currently at 10%, but there have been some effects."

"Second, why I have been staying here with hundreds of people for so long, besides my Silent City, there are some other reasons, such as the fast time flow here, which is of great help to my dark particle dimension formula for solving dark invasion. Of course, if you don't count the danger and consequences, but from a practical consideration, we don't have much time left, because various factors and those damn descent-type organizations, according to current calculations, we don't have 1 year and 96 days left. Perhaps soon we won't even have 1 year."

"Because under current circumstances, global darkness is still secondary. If the problem of dark invasion is not solved, according to the calculation of current water resources and toxin concentration, the entire human civilization won't be able to persist for even three months."

Mochizuki Zhensi spoke very fast, throwing heavy information to Lin Xian one after another.

That was that the opponent not only possessed disaster plants, but also made progress in resisting dark invasion, and this guy even used time dilation to accelerate his research calculations.

It had to be said that this was definitely a ruthless person.

Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned slightly: "Are you using the time dilation effect here for scientific research?"

"In fact..." Mochizuki Zhensi raised a finger, his mechanical pupils contracting and expanding rapidly, saying to Lin Xian: "Besides these, we found some interesting things in here, such as forbidden objects, red human anomalies. Oh, by the way, you handled a Deep Red intelligent brain robot, you should know that the research progress of this group of guys is faster than the Phoenix Society and the Federation."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

"You mean, the Deep Red World also accelerated the progress of dark research through this time principle?" Lin Xian was shocked in his heart at this moment, but at the same time felt something was wrong.

"Impossible. The Deep Red World is just a human organization. How could they survive in the Star Abyss for so long..."

Xiang Xiang Ningjing and others looked confused: "Could it be that they also have some disaster plants, forbidden objects, and the like?"

"Disaster plants, forbidden objects, are essentially a kind of dark existence, belonging to a double-edged sword, and cannot absolutely shield dark disasters. Not to mention that this place is still the nest of anomalies," Qian Qian Qian Suxun on the side said at this moment: "If there were such things, then humanity would not have a doomsday. Even for us, we must evacuate in a short time."

Hearing this, Lin Xian did not speak. Qian Qian Qian Suxun's words were worth affirming in a certain sense. His Heterostructure Cube was obtained through mechanical psychic heterostructure, and could only shield the fear power of dark invasion. It had no way to defend against anomalies and various entities. Another point was that it was combined with the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, and part of the negative energy of the forbidden objects on the train was transformed. The two combined to allow the Infinite to obtain a relatively safe environment.

But once marked, the result would not be much better.

"Then how is it possible for people in the Deep Red World to conduct experimental research here?" Mo Nika asked at this moment.

Mochizuki Zhensi stood up at this moment and walked toward the center of the main control room. Everyone heard a hiss, and then a huge cabin filled with transparent liquid rose from the ground, one on the left and one on the right. And as the liquid cabin gradually rose, two corpses appeared before everyone.

Those were two corpses, a man and a woman. Their limbs had been transformed by prosthetic limbs into mechanical prosthetics. Among them, the leg prosthetic of the male had shown a tearing state, and his chest had also been dug out with a big hole. And the female corpse had half of her head eaten by some kind of anomaly. But strangely, the heads of the male and female corpses were installed with a rear-brain mechanical device, and the group also saw some kind of white mycelium-like objects covering the brain from the broken skull.

Seeing those mycelia, Lin Xian and the others reacted immediately. Wasn't that the mycelium network they encountered in Yijin City?

"What the hell is this, mechanical intelligent brain and mycelium?" Kiki said in surprise.

Qian Dele also asked: "Are they all people from the Deep Red World?"

"Yes and no." Mochizuki Zhensi smiled helplessly: "Sorry, friends, please forgive me for speaking this way. These two are researchers of the Deep Red World organization, responsible for conducting various experiments in secret laboratories in the Star Abyss. But from another angle, they are not people of the Deep Red World."

Mochizuki Zhensi's words made people feel very inexplicable, but his next words instantly made everyone's expression sink.

"Strictly speaking, these people are all psychics captured by the Deep Red World from all over the place, and through a dark mycelium and digital memory converter, they are temporarily pieced together into 'people'."

"Pieced together?" Lin Xian didn't expect this simple word to give him a feeling of horror at this moment: "You mean, people from the Deep Red World occupied their brains?"

Mochizuki Zhensi pointed in the air and praised: "This conclusion is very to the point."

"To be detailed, it is that the researchers of the Deep Red World copy their uploaded memory, and then use this converter to 'iterate' the captured psychics into their own containers, and then this replicator enters the Star Abyss to conduct research. Usually, an evolutionary person of the Diamond level can survive in the Star Abyss for at most two to three days. Upgrading the prosthetics can improve this survival rate, while the Violent level can survive for about a week. This efficiency is considered very high. And they use this method to conduct sowing-style mass investment, plus the time flow ratio in here, the experimental data obtained is advancing by leaps and bounds in the outside world, and for the researcher himself, there is no impact. They are fanatics themselves."

"What!?" Chen Sixuan was so surprised that she couldn't speak: "They... they used the captured psychics as carriers to enter the Star Abyss to do experiments?"

"I don't understand, why don't they use robots directly?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing asked.

Mochizuki Zhensi shrugged: "This friend from Longshan No. 1 obviously has little knowledge of the current world's information engineering. Didn't I just say that there are not many intelligent brain-level processors in the whole world that can form the initial deconstruction level of human consciousness? Even AI robots can only embody 'intelligence' through large computing power and cloud networks. Ordinary terminal computing power cannot achieve such deep intelligence, let alone be used for super experiments."

"So the benefit of the cult-like plan of mycelium brain produced by the Deep Red World is that it can quickly copy the memory of a professor-level researcher into digital life at a very low cost. Although the lifespan is extremely short, if there are a thousand engineering professors, a thousand biology professors, and a thousand physics professors, isn't that fast?"

Mochizuki Zhensi's words echoed in everyone's ears like a devil's whisper. Lin Xian frowned. He now finally understood why in Akse, those sand bandits kidnapped psychics and marked them with clear prices. What kind of experiment needed so many people? Lin Xian couldn't imagine that the purpose of the Deep Red World kidnapping psychics was not only for research, but to use living people as consumables!

"Another point is that this mycelium is not completely controllable for the Deep Red World, so the death rate is still very high," Mochizuki Zhensi continued:

"Of course, there will also be some 'cowardly' individuals. After all, after the memory uses the human brain as a processor through mycelium, there will be some changes in thinking or the influence of the original psychic's own thinking, which shows that the Deep Red World's research and mastery of this mycelium is still in a very early stage..."

Speaking of this, Mochizuki Zhensi put his hands into his sleeves, his eyes sank slightly, and he said with quite a bit of emotion:

"Oh, shame to say, the digital life plan was initiated by me. Although the path of the Deep Red World using mycelium to occupy living bodies was something I never expected, technologies like consciousness uploading memory and human-in-the-loop iteration are all related to our Mochizuki family. So, I bear an unshirkable responsibility for this, um, 30%? 20%? Perhaps..."

"So there is a Deep Red World laboratory in Baicheng, and you are monitoring them. Is it also because you want to directly intercept their information and data?" Kiki said bluntly.

"That's right," Mochizuki Zhensi did not hide it: "This young lady is very smart."

Mo Nika's eyes carried scrutiny: "So you are trying to say that the purpose of doing all this is to quickly research technology to resist dark invasion, benefit humanity, and reduce your sense of guilt?"

Her words were very sharp, and at the same time hit the nail on the head. Lin Xian also knew something about this Silent City before. After the doomsday, it conducted interest cooperation with major organizations through the city's industrial strength and constantly expanded its own power. He didn't believe that the opponent took such a big risk for the sake of humanity, so in his view, Mochizuki Zhensi must have other purposes.

Who knew that after Mo Nika's words came out, Mochizuki Zhensi just smiled and didn't answer directly. Instead, Qian Qian Qian Suxun, the supervisor of the technical research city, took the lead in breaking the silence:

"As humans, wanting to quickly research technology to resist dark invasion is the consensus of all humanity, isn't it? Since the purpose is the same, is there a difference between saving humanity and saving yourself?"

After Qian Qian Qian Suxun finished speaking, Lin Xian found that Mochizuki Zhensi looked at him calmly: "This Team Leader Lin, I have a question I want to ask you. If your team uses light vehicles and knows the rules of the inner tide, you have at least a 40-50% survival rate to escape the Star Abyss. Then why do you choose... oh, use the superconducting magnetic anchor array device to launch your train?"

Lin Xian heard what he meant and said bluntly: "As you said, the end of the world may still have a year, but without my train and teammates, I won't live for a few days."

Lin Xian's words were very realistic. Everyone on the joint train was tied together because of survival, including Hu Lushou and others. In times of desperation and danger, humans always think that unity can erupt with greater power. This survival instinct is engraved in the genes.

"Bingo!"

Mochizuki Zhensi answered very seriously: "We are the same as you. It's just that I think further. My goal is not just to drive Silent City out of the Star Abyss and then survive for a year."

He pointed to Qian Qian Qian Suxun: "My partners and the 100,000 residents of Silent City have higher ambitions. As long as we can crack the secret of dark invasion and the Star Abyss, perhaps my Silent City will have a chance..." Speaking of this, Mochizuki Zhensi looked at Lin Xian and said leisurely:

"Break through the sky curtain, carry the brilliant civilization of humanity, and sail to the far star!"

Hearing this, everyone's expression shook. Lin Xian looked at this Mochizuki Zhensi with deep meaning. The words spoken from the mouth of this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy face actually made him feel a heroic enthusiasm.

Mochizuki Zhensi put his hands into his sleeves, his eyes were leisurely. He stood there like an immovable mountain. People often fear being seen through their thoughts, but to him, it seems meaningless. His eyes are like an abyss, unfathomable, but also surprisingly open, as if saying: "Look, this is my path, why hide it?"

Being able to make a group of strong people like Qian Qian Qian Suxun and Long Zhijie follow, not counting the mere year of time, but actively intervening after discovering the secrets of the Star Abyss and the Deep Red World, the pattern is no longer trapped in the square inch.

After hearing these words from Mochizuki Zhensi, Lin Xian also inexplicably felt that his anxiety had calmed down a lot, so he said:

"Tell me about your plan."

As soon as Lin Xian's words came out, everyone in the exploration team focused their attention.

Mochizuki Zhensi smiled faintly, looking at Lin Xian and the others and said:

"The first problem is that I am watching the Deep Red World, and the Deep Red World is also watching my Silent City. So if we want to complete the transfer, we must solve the consumable laboratory in Baicheng. Otherwise, they will definitely destroy our plan to leave. And there are three difficulties in solving them."

"They are the red human anomaly, the inner tide, and the protection device of the mycelium memory."

"What protection device?" Kiki asked at this moment.

Qian Qian Qian Suxun replied: "We have attacked the replicators they sent in more than once, but every time we succeed, the mycelium memory of the replicator will self-destruct, causing us to be unable to obtain any information data."

"So disgusting." At this moment, two people spoke at the same time, both of whom had been silent since they came in.

Fire Brother and Xiaoqing.

Fire Brother hugged his hands, his eyes very angry: "Harm the same race, and use such despicable means. This deity doesn't understand, could it be that dark creatures will collude with these people?"

"That's impossible," Mochizuki Zhensi said indifferently: "They just approve of themselves. Do you know what the ultimate goal of this organization, the Deep Red World, is?"

Everyone looked at him.

"Fusion."

Mochizuki Zhensi squinted and smiled: "They think they can create a new world and survive in the dark dimension in the form of a new ethnic group with eternal life."

Hearing this, Kiki looked surprised: "They want to become dark life????"

Qian Dele suddenly realized at this moment: "Oh, I understand..."

Mo Nika took the conversation: "You forgot, they don't think that is an anomaly."

"Psychic, gene evolution, dimension breakthrough," Chen Sixuan nodded and said solemnly: "They call it god."

"Idiot."

At this moment, a very small voice came. Everyone looked over and found that it was actually Abai who had secretly muttered. He didn't expect his small dark curse voice to be so loud, so he immediately shrank his neck and picked up the teacup on the table, pretending that nothing had happened.

Lin Xian smiled and looked at Mochizuki Zhensi: "Inner tide, limited time, high risk in the city, mycelium memory self-destruct device—these two points can be solved. Now it's time to talk about that red human anomaly."

Lin Xian had heard the term red human anomaly several times since he came in and had been curious. At this moment, since the words had reached this point, he asked directly.

"Can be solved?" Qian Qian Qian Suxun was shocked when he heard this. We spent so long and couldn't solve it, and you have a solution immediately after coming in for half an hour?

And Mochizuki Zhensi raised his hand to press Qian Qian Qian Suxun's words and said directly to Lin Xian:

"The red human anomaly is very simple. Didn't I just say that their replication researchers used the bodies of psychics, the consciousness memory of Deep Red World researchers plus mycelium converters, while the red human anomaly is a combination of human anomalies after mutation plus a special suppressor? I guess the appearance of this thing was not their original purpose, but it became a big trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Xian's pupils constricted violently. He stood up on the spot, his hair standing on end, and shouted loudly:

"You mean the Deep Red World carried out flesh colonization on anomalies!!!!"
