Chapter 344 Pollution
Chapter 344 Pollution
In a sense, this video may be more valuable than the huge amount of data in this terminal.
Although we still don’t know what exactly happened in the Golden Age, we can already speculate what humanity experienced in the post-Golden Age.
As civilization declined, the survivors of the old era took refuge in the sky elevator to survive, and in this elevator they created one of the ancestors of today's elves.
Not only do humans need to deal with the pollution of their collective subconscious from foreign gods, they also need to fight against the coming of foreign gods from outside.
Humanity did win, but the price was extremely tragic, and it directly brought human civilization to a standstill.
And that glimpse from the depths of the universe...something, just a glance, directly caused humans to close the sky. Perhaps the so-called outer gods now are not the real outer gods, and the thing in the depths of the universe is the real god.
The so-called pollution, wouldn't it be that after all the people on the earth were looked at, they collectively passed a sancheck, leading to the collapse of the Golden Age...
This reminds me of what 550C said, that some information cannot be touched by oneself, and 550C is in the sky.
"550C..."
Lind immediately contacted 550C and told him the information he knew and his own guesses.
"So you can't tell me some historical data, is it because this part of the data has also been contaminated?"
Linde responded with a rare silence from the 550C.
"How do you deal with this polluted knowledge and information? Does the pollution have any impact on you?"
Silence and more silence.
"Is this also the reason why you were not mentioned when the first batch of people in the tower came?"
After this question, the emotionless synthesized sound of 550C finally rang in Lind's mind again.
"No, citizen, I need to correct a mistake of yours. The last citizens of the Tower of Babel once contacted me, and I helped them a lot until the last group of citizens disconnected."
"If you don't correct my mistakes, can you assume that what I said is right?"
After hearing Lind's question, there was another period of silent silence.
"Come to think of it, one of your powers includes the power to connect to dreams. Is that also because of this? Humans in the Golden Age were already trying to find ways to enter the collective subconscious of humanity through dreams, right?"
There was no response, but Lind still said, "I understand. Let's communicate in this way in the future."
"Thank you for your understanding and trust, citizen."
"Please believe that we designed it from the beginning to allow human civilization to continue. Everything is for humanity."
For some reason, Lind seemed to actually hear a hint of emotion in the smooth synthesized sound of 550C.
"A lot of the tower's knowledge and information has been lost with the death of the tower's founder, but 550C, can you share your information about the ocean of consciousness? I need this now."
Now that we have figured out the threat posed by the Outer Gods in the ocean of consciousness, we can naturally prescribe targeted remedies.
"Citizen, I once said that any technology of the Deus Ex Machina is a castle in the air and will eventually lead to a disaster of destruction."
Sometimes, Lind feels that 550C is not like an artificial intelligence, but is becoming more and more like a real person with emotions. For example, 550C's current behavior clearly shows that something has happened to it in the past and it has suffered psychological trauma.
“But 550C.”
While Lind was responding in his mind, he took out the information that Lucanus had given him after returning from Anjou from his desk.
"Another kingdom of humans has excavated some of the facilities of the old empire. They want to reproduce the technology of the old empire."
Sure enough, just as Lind thought, 550C did not respond.
After Lucanus came back and mentioned this matter, Lind asked Lucanus in detail about the technology tree during the old empire period.
It seemed that because the other party had already dug out the equipment from the old empire, or because the other party was the first to break some tacit rules, Lucanus finally stopped keeping silent about the technology from the old empire.
Obviously, after the first continental war, although all high-level professionals in the old empire were controlled by the tower, the old empire's technology tree suddenly made rapid progress. This was not a coincidence.
Especially the Empire's technology tree looks weird no matter how you look at it.
"550C, you once used the uncontaminated data to help the Old Empire, right?"
"That's why the Old Empire was so ahead of its time in the study of human consciousness, soul, and biochemistry."
At this point, 550C finally stopped being silent and replied, "You are right. I have to admit that this was a big mistake on my part."
"The pollution in the subconscious ocean has not been completely cleared. It only takes one opportunity for the pollution to spread again."
"And in order to help humans recover their civilization faster after the war against foreign gods and the first continental war, I chose the old empire you mentioned and taught them knowledge, hoping that they can conduct further research and completely eliminate the time bomb left in the human dream."
"In order to provide the old empire with a stable environment, I have passed on some of my biological technology to them. I hope that they can use this technology to quickly eliminate the inferior creatures left over from the old times on the continent."
"But I have to admit that the strength of the researchers in the Old Empire has far exceeded my imagination. Within the limited environment and materials, they can even separate the relationship between consciousness and body, and combine biotechnology to create defect-free genetic warriors."
"The people of the Old Empire believed in me fanatically, and according to my wishes, they wiped out most of the inferior creatures left over from the old times. However, the Old Empire's conquest did not stop. As the empire's territory expanded, the situation began to get out of control."
When it came to this, the usually stable mechanical synthesized voice of 550C even fluctuated in a rare way: "I underestimated the complexity of human emotions and the influence of human consciousness. At that time, the most loyal gene warriors of the emperor rebelled, and the empire collapsed overnight."
"The Tower took advantage of the empire's collapse and took away some of the empire's technology. I did not stop it. Although the Tower no longer had the authority, our goal was the same."
"Citizen, this is not the fault of mankind, it is all my error in judgment..."
Hearing 550C start to complain about itself like Xianglin Sao, Lind couldn't help but wonder if this was the impact of the pollution on 550C, and he interrupted it immediately.
"550C, regardless of the fact that another human kingdom has begun to dig up the technology of the old empire, not only will that technology soon see the light of day, but there will also be many high-level professionals helping this time. I need your help now."
Lind placed Anastasia's terminal on the table.
“Some technologies are no longer just pie in the sky. It’s time for humanity to enter the next era.”
