Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 274: Sequoia base highest authority (3/3)
"...Is this what happened in this central control room back then."
Integrating the past phantom information that I have seen, and the information about the brain-eating worm that I have guessed before.
At this moment, Yin En has concluded the truth about the Sequoia ruins that has been buried for nearly a thousand years, and knows the true identity of the mastermind behind it.
There is no doubt that the Sequoia natives are the descendants of researchers at the Sequoia Base of the pre-epoch civilization 1,600 years ago.
During the disaster, due to the perfect disaster prevention preparations, Sequoia Base did not suffer from the disaster like the pre-era civilized cities on the surface, but was preserved extremely well.
For some reasons, and also to ensure safety, they decided to avoid the aftermath of the disaster on the surface, lurk inside the base to build an ecosystem, continue their own knowledge, and maintain the entire base.
However, knowledge degrades without enough population.
Even if all the intact knowledge manuals are stored in electronic devices, or printed into books, or engraved into stone tablets, as long as there is a teacher who misunderstands, as long as one of the descendants of any generation does not understand what he said Inherited knowledge is required, then knowledge degenerates.
All the researchers in Sequoia Base are geniuses and elites, but they cannot guarantee that each generation of their descendants will be elites—as long as there is an ordinary person, their knowledge will be lost.
There is too much knowledge, there is no way to learn by yourself from textbooks...even with the hands-on teaching of a teacher, it may not be possible to teach it.
So, in order to preserve knowledge, at least, knowledge cannot be distorted.
The Sequoia people decided to use the 'attached brain' and 'genetic memory' for double protection.
The attached brain slug is a kind of brain slug derived from aliens with extremely stable genes. It can reside on the brainstem of vertebrates, enhance the memory and computing power of the host, and can also perfectly memorize the knowledge it reserves from generation to generation. Pass it on—because this group of brain slugs has an internal psionic network, all their knowledge memories, and even their own genetic information are stored in psionic energy.
As long as the group is immortal, knowledge will last forever.
But...the leader of a certain generation of Sequoia people, their 'Great Elder', has evil thoughts in his heart.
He wants, eternal life.
Thus, that man forcibly put his own memory, his own thinking algorithm, and even his own soul into the brain slug's psionic network.
Even, he should have modified the gene of the brain slug, allowing it to return to its ancestors and become a ferocious brain parasite in ancient times, and created a nest, using the most primitive, barbaric and **** method to continuously invade The flesh of his fellow men, reducing them to echoes without ego.
But apart from him, there are five elders with extremely high wisdom. They joined forces to upload their own consciousness, and the five worked together to smash the soul of the great elder who was trying to control the brain slug's psychic network.
At this point, the worm nest lost its control and fell into chaos—this is why the parasite he saw before did not come to attack him, but kept trying to return to the central control room.
Because the psychic energy network inside the parasite is already in disorder, part is the primitive instinct, part is the Great Elder, and there are remaining fragments of the other five elders who sacrificed themselves.
Just...
"Thousands of years later, the aborigines still evacuated from the Sequoia base. They lost almost all their knowledge inheritance, and they were even a step slower than the humans in other refuges, and they really became aborigines."
"The natives who drink blood and eat people."
Yin En muttered to himself, he raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the entire central control room, and looked at the entire Sequoia base group: "The brain-eating insect colony has never been extinct, and it has even grown stronger in recent years—— That river of parasites is proof."
"Although the consciousness of the great elder was shattered, the souls of the five elders also disappeared. The parasite today is probably a ferocious and terrifying artificial biological weapon, and it still has fragments of their wisdom."
"However, during the evolution of the brain-eating worms, something must have happened-the indigenous traditions of sacrifice and cannibalism have a long history, and this is definitely not what they developed after leaving the Sequoia Base And the cloning of deformed people is also a mystery, before the natives left the Sequoia base, there must have been some crisis or lost some knowledge."
However, these crises are not very important.
Because all of that is the process of the Sequoia people's constant struggle after losing their glory.
Under Andor's puzzled but awed gaze, Yin En stepped forward.
He leaped across and came to the main control seat on the second floor.
Then take your seat.
Katsa, Katsa, Katsa.
The automatically extended data cable was accurately connected to the boy's neck, and the invisible data flowed, causing Yin En's eyes to light up.
[Identity testing...the white people in the northern New Caldo area, no data records, online search...unable to connect to the Internet...activate the base crisis self-determination protocol]
[Determined as a non-threatening juvenile individual/meets the white list standard of the base]
[Sequoia Base and its affiliated ecological parks are in a long-term unmanned automatic maintenance state, and 67% of the blocks have been detected to be damaged/missing/changed/destroyed]
【The first to thirteenth ecological parks are all destroyed, the fifth to the twelfth power source areas are damaged, the cooling reservoir is abnormal, the main channel collapses and damages a large area, and the transportation channel has dangerous changes... Based on this judgment, the red Shan base is in an 'extremely dangerous' state]
【Calling a central administrator authority user...call failed】
【Calling a user with sub-administrator rights...the call failed】
【Call registered user...Call failed】
The call went on for a long time while Yoon waited patiently.
Until that moment.
[Confirm that there is no emergency handler, and start the transfer of maintenance authority]
A huge, sequoia-shaped logo appeared in front of Yin En's eyes, with gentle subtitles flashing: [Welcome, Your Excellency the temporary administrator, you have registered as the ninety-seventh emergency maintenance engineer]
【Please...】
Ka, Kaka...
When the automatic AI in the central control room is transferring authority.
Suddenly, the silver chip in Yin En's body changed.
Yin En, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately concentrated on sensing the change of the chip.
But it's a pity that the chip just transmitted a message for a moment because the central control room reacted to Yin En's nerve connection, and then fell silent again.
But at such a moment, the AI in the main control room of the Sequoia base immediately changed its rhetoric.
[Welcome, President of the Federal Research Institute of Alien Species, codenamed 'Forerunner']
【You have obtained the highest authority of Sequoia Base】
