Chapter 652: The Legacy of the Great Master
The tycoon left something in the World of Eden. Now Lao Jiang is going to open the "blind box" to see what kind of treasure the tycoon left for him.
However, after all, these were things left behind by the "saint" who had helped the world of Eden, so they must have been hidden in a safekeeping place.
It’s a bit far from where Lao Jiang is now.
But it’s not a big problem. It’s a good opportunity for Lao Jiang to take a good look at the real situation of the world of Eden.
"Little girl, raise yourself a little higher so I can see."
Jiang Xia sat by the window of the aircraft, looking down at the completely frozen sea. The entire sea surface looked like a large crystal clear glacier, extending to the end of the sight in the darkness.
He could see many very similar aircraft flying around in the night sky, and some of them would break through the constraints of gravity at high speed and rush into the sea of stars outside the world, completing the interaction between the surface and the outer guard fleet.
He said something to the intelligent girl who was piloting the aircraft, and after getting Old Earl's permission, the latter continued to raise the altitude of the aircraft, and at Boss Jiang's request, it rose all the way to the limit of the atmosphere.
At this altitude, he still couldn't see the big engine built on the South Pole of the world, but he could already see the steering engines around the equator, like pillars of fire spewing out of the ground, reaching a height of nearly a thousand meters.
They provide the power to change the course of this planet as it moves at high speed in the sea of stars.
This scene is very similar to The Wandering Earth.
But what makes the Eden people so amazing is that they accelerated their planet to near the speed of light... and were able to maintain relative stability with the four escort fleets outside the planet at all times.
Jiang Xia looked up and could see the sea of stars constantly crossing his field of vision. Because the planets were moving so fast, the dim starlight formed bands of light, as if there was really a Milky Way flowing overhead.
You can also see a fleet hovering thousands of kilometers outside the planet. In addition to the flagship that is dozens of kilometers long, there are also some small starships scattered in front.
Old Earl introduced that those small boats were equipped with a set of thousands of individual wormhole generators connected in parallel, which were specifically used to open a super-giant wormhole large enough for a planet to pass through when they arrived at the wormhole jump point.
The luxury is that these boats are disposable.
Once they are used up, they will be discarded due to energy overload. Before the next wormhole jump, the intelligent beings in the world of Eden must produce the next batch of wormhole generators.
But with their level of technology and smart work efficiency, this is not a real challenge.
"You only told me half of what really happened five hundred years ago. You haven't told me the second half yet."
Lao Jiang admired the Eden Fleet in the sea of stars.
Men just like things that look cool.
As he admired it, he said to Old Earl:
"After your advance fleet destroyed the Wasteland Lord's vanguard with several black hole generators, what happened in your world? It caused the Eden people to become extinct, and they had to upload their consciousness collectively to avoid the disaster."
"Virus."
Earl raised his hand and used the optical projection on his wrist to show Lao Jiang the truth that he had not yet finished telling.
A standard human individual was marked on the projection, and the changes that would occur after a strange virus invaded the human body were simulated. Lao Jiang watched the changes, and Earl explained beside him:
“It was those servants of the Son of the Wilderness who could not be stopped by the planet-level fortress.
Only a small number of them entered our world and were quickly destroyed, but they seized that split second of opportunity to spread a vicious plague into our world.
This virus is transmitted through the air, can damage and rewrite human genes, and can be inherited through reproduction. It can seriously damage human intelligence but will not affect normal behavior. It is highly concealed and can easily cause large-scale transmission. "
On Old Earl's projection, Old Jiang could see the brain slice data of the autopsied infected people, as well as news materials about the virus outbreak five hundred years ago.
“The consciousness uploading project was also launched at that time.
Thanks to the fact that the navigation center, which Ju Zi personally participated in designing, had already been built at that time, although we suffered heavy losses in the Doomsday War, the remaining resources were enough to deal with this biological disaster.
At least that's what we thought.
The powerful vanguard of the Wild Lords has been destroyed and we consider ourselves victorious.
But it turns out we were too optimistic.
Once an infected person is discovered, their consciousness code will be uploaded and their body will be destroyed to prevent them from becoming the next source of infection. But even though we dealt with this virus very decisively, we still failed to stop its spread. ”
Old Earl said in a nostalgic and heavy tone:
“The large-scale outbreak of the plague came without any signs. Less than half a year after the disaster when the Vanguard Fleet and the Wasteland Lord’s Vanguard perished together, the spread of the virus in the Eden World reached its peak.
We tried various methods, but none of them could prevent the arrival of the final doomsday. After all means were exhausted, the Navigation Center implemented the sleep protocol.
Before the virus completely destroys the wisdom of the Eden people, all the survivors will have their consciousness encoded and uploaded.
We killed ourselves and ended the second apocalypse after the apocalypse.
We can claim that we have defeated Huang, but the fact is that there is no winner in that war. Huang's vanguard did die, but it used its last breath to drag us down with it to hell."
“So, it was a failed attempt.”
Boss Jiang looked at the despairing and helpless news releases projected before him. He sighed and said:
"Perhaps it was after the failure of this attempt that Ju Zi made up his mind to make that big move in Ku Mu Territory. He realized that there was no chance of winning against the Lord of the Wasteland head-on, so he chose the strategy of disguise and delay."
“He left us hope.”
Earl didn't care about the failure. He looked at the snow-covered valley base in the distance and said to Lao Jiang:
"Mr. Juzi's wisdom is beyond our reach. He sealed his hope here for five hundred years, and finally after waiting for Mr. Jiang, the seed of hope blossomed and bore fruit.
The civilization of the Eden people will revive at the end of the world, but perhaps we will eventually face a tragic defeat or even true extinction.
But we won once after all...
It can’t defeat us.”
The aircraft braved the wind and snow, and with the help of four anti-gravity engines, it landed steadily on the apron of the valley base. The hatch opened, and Lao Jiang and Earl walked out of the aircraft.
When he touched the snow on the ground, Boss Jiang raised his eyebrows. He squatted down, stretched out his hand, touched the ground, and felt the familiar rhythm.
Then he looked up and said to old Earl:
"Is this the heart of Eden's world?"
"Yes, it was measured and found by Mr. Juzi himself. It is the place closest to the heart of the world."
Earl pointed to the slowly opening gate of the base in front of him and said:
“It is also the location of the core module of the world computer of the pilot center, and the burial place of the host of the first world-class quantum computing system to be built.
This is where the first horn of our war against the Lord of the Wilderness was blown.
It was here that our ancestors developed the power to defeat the end of the world."
"Ha, you didn't tell me before that the Navigation Center is built on the Heart of the World!"
Old Jiang stood up, patted the snow in his hands, and said to Old Earl:
"Do you know how important this news is to you intelligent beings?"
"I can not understand."
Earl frowned and asked:
“Does it matter where the hub is built?”
“You know what happened in the wasteland, right? The humans there disappointed the Heart of the World, so the Heart of the World moved the main body of civilization away from humans.
Now they are engaged in a protracted war with the irradiated worms to regain their status as the main body of civilization."
Jiang Xia whistled, patted Old Earl on the shoulder, and said:
"The same thing is happening in the Eden world. I suspected before that although the Navigation Center is a super-advanced intelligence designed by Juzi, its reaction should not be so anthropomorphic.
I have personally seen the data form of the Navigation Center in the wasteland's paradise.
It is so humanized that it doesn't seem like a program made up of piles of data.
Now the mystery is solved.
The heart of the world of Eden is the heart of data. In the five hundred years of contact, the Navigation Center has already developed its own thinking and consciousness due to the miraculous power of the heart of the world.
Can you understand what I mean?
It is not a simulation, it is not a calculation, and it is certainly not a copy and paste.
It really has its own consciousness, its own... well, soul! It can be said that it is the incarnation of the Heart of the World in Eden, so it can do such wonderful things.
Building a 100% realistic dream of heaven is not something that can be achieved by simply combining data streams. Earl, you intelligent people are blessed.
It seems that I will release not one civilization today, but two!"
Boss Jiang laughed and strode into the base that was guarded by a group of armed military smart guards. Earl followed behind him with a complicated expression.
Although what Boss Jiang said sounds incredible, since he is a professional in the field of the Heart of the World, his judgment is unlikely to be wrong.
This shocked Old Earl and also caused a strange data flow fluctuation in his thinking module.
Perhaps it can be called "expectation".
Anxious anticipation.
Of course, the host module of a world-class computer group is quite large. After all, to host the calculations of the entire world, its hardware cannot be small.
Under this base is a storage facility transformed from a natural cave. It is three hundred meters high and square, just like a metal tower placed underground.
This is just one core of the distributed computing system of the Navigation Center. Eleven other cores are running synchronously in other parts of the Eden world.
The amount of data that converges every second is an astronomical number. Even if Master Xu, who is the best at calculations and divination in Ku Mu Realm, comes here and bears the impact of this world-class data flow, his head will probably explode within half an hour.
Again, it’s not a crime of war, and there is no one who is superior to anyone else.
They are just two different development paths.
"Right there!"
Earl led Lao Jiang up the suspended staircase and pointed to a small pyramid-like building on the top floor of the black metal tower. He said:
"What Mr. Juzi left behind is there, but the door is closed, coupled with judgment in a very strange way. We tried to open it, but finally gave up.
Mr. Juzi is a saint in the world of Eden, and the instructions he left behind must be carried out."
"Then please wait here."
Lao Jiang leaped forward and landed on the top of the black data tower in a flash. He looked at the door in front of him that was engraved with ink symbols, reached out and took something out of the ring.
The head of the Mohist sect had somehow opened the wooden brocade box that was found in the ruins of the sect.
Jiang Xia unscrewed the box and took out an ancient seal made of spiritual wood and precious jade. The antique little thing also exuded the scent of sandalwood.
Boss Jiang put it on his finger, took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and placed the seal in the small groove left by the ink symbols in front of him.
"Click"
The door that had been sealed for five hundred years was retracted in four directions at the same time, revealing a corridor leading forward.
Until he stood in front of this corridor, Boss Jiang seemed to be thinking about something.
"Every move made by Juzi is meaningful."
Old Jiang looked at the wooden ring on his finger and thought:
“Obtaining this ring means that the person standing in front of this door has known all the secrets of the Bitter Wood Realm, and also knows the three strategies he left behind.
He had predicted five hundred years ago that I would be here today.
He left so many things in order to screen out the person who is truly capable of helping Ku Mu Realm and all the worlds escape from the torture of the Wilderness Lord. Only that person can open the door before him.
That person is me...
He is certain that the things he left here can help me complete the rescue of Kumu Realm... I am really curious, what kind of...legacy did you leave for me?"
