above the sky

The hall is semi-circular with two floors, the second floor is supported by two solid metal brackets, forming a platform overlooking all the screens in the hall.

Under the platform, there is a wide and bright work area. The semi-circular screen with no dead ends flickers in many areas. Although most of the screens are already black, in general, you can vaguely experience this control area back then. 's pomp.

There are eight entrances and exits in the entire hall. Ian was a little surprised. The crystal passage he walked was one of the underground river transportation systems, which was used to quickly travel between the ecological parks.

However, in the center of the hall, there is a rock statue that is incompatible with the overall style of the hall, and even looks very rough.

A giant statue with a bulging body, like a swollen body.

"This is……"

Ian frowned, he looked at the statue carefully, and then said in an uncertain tone: "Radiation suit?"

It is indeed a humanoid statue wearing a radiation protection suit. Although the details are poor, he is very familiar with the style of the radiation protection suit because he used to wear the radiation protection suit for inspection and maintenance.

The rudimentary handmade statue wearing radiation protection suits stands quietly in the extremely advanced silver central control hall, which is very mysterious and simple, and Ian can't figure out why for a while.

He could only walk forward and carefully observe the surroundings.

And when you look at it, you can see many details.

On the four walls of the hall, there are many faint inscription scratches - not so much scratches, but rather the residue of some kind of oil pen left on the metal wall, and the metal wall itself did not leave any scars.

Innumerable brush marks and totems covered the surrounding of the hall, except for those screens, even the ground was covered with these marks.

"Stop."

Although neither himself nor Andor entered the hall, Ian still stopped the pirate captain's actions.

He leaned down, carefully observed the traces on the wall and the ground, and let the silver chip record it.

"The third power module combination sequence can be compatible with the two furnace core structures of 'fire' and 'flying light' by unifying the furnace model, but it cannot replace the combination sequence of 'tidal' and 'crazy storm'. If you need to combine the front and rear The connection of any two in the combination provides an opportunity for maintenance of one party, and a wide-area psionic suppressor is required to stabilize the different wavelengths of natural psionics and avoid causing field changes."

"Administrator-elders can perform remote maintenance operations on the base and the ecological park at the same time through the unified information platform, but cannot perform remote operations on prohibited areas such as 'power source area' and 'biological laboratory', but administrators can use the 'core management' The platform is 'with a 'remote projection device' for remote maintenance."

"Non-administrator-elder users can apply for the maintenance qualification, enter the maintenance equipment area, enter the restricted area through the special exit, and carry out maintenance work for 4 to 8 hours. If you need to extend the time, please continue to apply for the qualification."

Reading the meaning of these traces, Ian was at first at a loss, and then understood: "This is the key maintenance manual? And it's written so clearly that ordinary people can understand it..."

"This is a study manual specially reserved for future generations!?"

Straightening up, Ian once again looked around the hall in front of him.

And this time, he saw that on the five seats in front of the screen, there were five corpses that had been completely mummified.

And at this moment, another burst of visions struck, causing a series of video clips to flash across the boy's eyes.

Five figures of different statures, both men and women, were gathered under the statue for a heated discussion.

[There is no other way, in order to hedge, this is our only means now! 】The tallest man's voice is like a bell, and his tone is calm: 【I am the first sharp edge, if you fail, please learn from my sacrifice! 】

[Yes, this is the only possibility to defeat that guy] A woman calmly said: [There is a consciousness uploader in the laboratory, and it has been destroyed, but he does not know that the administrator seat in the central control room itself needs to be replaced. His own consciousness is projected onto the base control platform—as long as it is slightly modified, every seat here is an uploader]

[A person's thinking and memory are one share, even if he has a first-mover advantage, we can completely disperse him by the number of people] A man who looked a little gloomy said slowly, there is a huge scar on the top of his head, it seems Brain surgery: [He has not yet started to produce echoes on a large scale, although there is quantity, the quality is still not cohesive]

[Indeed] Another woman with a hot tone nodded and said: [Everyone is human, although he is the strongest among us, can he be stronger than us combined? ! 】

And the eldest of the rest sighed, he turned his head worriedly, and looked at the door of the control room: [The question is, after the defeat, what will happen to the worm nest? That thing has already begun to expand wildly, and the junior has lost the plug-in attached to the brain, and can't use the base tool to clear it at all...]

[Even if it is eliminated, can he really be completely eliminated by transforming it into such a brain-attached slug? That is enough to be the standard of military biological weapons in the past, even if it is driving armor... they may not be able to operate it.]

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, but soon there was a sound again.

The tall man cheered: [It doesn't matter, there are a few smart ones, who can learn the operation manual without attaching a brain]

[It's just that the population is not enough, and the base ecology and knowledge inheritance cannot be maintained no matter what... They will definitely decline] The calm woman has some regrets: [Cannot inherit the glory of Terra... It is our negligence]

[I thought about it for a long time] The gloomy man's face was even more ugly, and finally he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: [I told Bona to activate the clone warehouse before, which should be able to replenish a part of the population, although the gene pool has been polluted. , but at most it is only a physical aberration and does not affect intelligence]

[When necessary, clones can also be used as cannon fodder. Although it is not human rights, there is no other way now... Sacrifice clones is better than sacrificing normal people]

[It's so filthy, we are probably the last generation of Alliance Terrans, but we still can't maintain our glory] The hot woman sighed: [Don't talk about this, there is no brain-attached psychic network, only the records in the genes and the mouth are left. The fragmented knowledge passed down by word of mouth, what will our descendants look like...]

【us……】

The old man looked around at the junior in front of him. Although he was in a heavy heart, he finally smiled: [We have no choice]

【We can only believe】

to believe...

believe in future.

future……

Five ancient apparitions of the past dissipated in front of Ian, finally condensing into the corpse before his eyes.

Everything was just for a moment, the young man slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

Now, they have arrived at the future they speak of.
