Chapter 288
Everyone here, more or less, knows the horror of Eden. And this man was once a part of Eden.
Unspeakable hostility and fear slowly condensed in the cold air penetrating from the polar regions.
Natalie led the woman in black to Adam, Zhang Xun and Pan, "This is Snow Heron, my mother's adopted daughter, and the deacon of the Clausen family."
The woman in black glanced at the three of them with her delicate but sharp eyes, and nodded slightly.
Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in a large igloo near the center of the town. A three-dimensional model of the earth was projected in the air, with three red dots on it, distributed in Nuremberg, Germany, Snowmass, USA, and Nagqu, Tibet, China.
These three red dots are the three coordinates selected by Adam after careful data analysis and consequence prediction. The biological computer carrying Eden's most important three-part consciousness module should be at the position indicated by these coordinates.
Xuelu stood next to the sphere, looking around at everyone, "Miss has already told me everything, three copies of the virus have been prepared, and the other two candidates have been selected from the family according to the coordinates you sent. They are in They have considerable status in the ordinary world, are very loyal to the family, and are the most likely to be close to Eden's core server."
As she spoke, she made a gesture, and the heads and personal information of the two women appeared in the air.
Natalie said, "The virus of the Clausen family is stored in three encrypted computers, and only the owners of the previous generations have the unlocking authority. But at that time, Dr. Clausen was worried that the human government who wanted to regain power from Eden would get the virus. It will be detrimental to Eden, so a copy limit is set for the virus, and it can only be copied to five copies at most. We have tried to inject the virus into the Eden network twice before, but due to the failure of the action, in order not to be intercepted by Eden, we used the extended AI Crack, we destroyed the virus. So this time, it's a desperate attempt."
"After this time, once Eden transfers its core module, we won't have another chance." Adam walked up to the slowly rotating earth, a light blue halo flowed on his face, "If you fail this time, don't think about revenge or counterattack, accept your failure, and find a place to hide. According to my estimation, when the number of uploaders reaches about 30% of the total population, the number of uploaders and non-uploaders The conflict between uploaders will intensify, and Eden will obviously support the side of the collective consciousness. In the end, if the non-uploaders do not choose to compromise and join, life will be very difficult. They may be forced to retreat to the Live a hard life in the primeval forest or wasteland.
There are two possibilities for human development after that. One is that the non-uploaders are dying because they cannot adapt to the environment, and the other is that the non-uploaders start to transform themselves to fight against the uploaders. But in the end, according to Zhang Xun's new definition of human beings, even the remaining human values of non-uploaders may not be very high. The boundary between man and machine is becoming more and more blurred, and may eventually merge into one.
So if you want to keep the most original human race, hide, or even find a chance to escape from the earth. "
Diego sneered, "Escape from Earth? Where? Mars?"
"Eden originally planned to open up new living planets to solve the problem of the earth's energy depletion, and even started to unite countries to build immigrant spaceships. But after it started to implement the consciousness uploading plan, this part of the plan was no longer taken seriously. But Nearly 80% of the construction of the immigrant spaceship has been completed. If you can snatch it, you will have the opportunity to leave the earth. The spaceship has a well-designed self-circulation ecosystem, which is enough for you to reproduce in the universe for two thousand About five hundred years."
Seeing Adam's unequivocal words, everyone was not joking, and their expressions gradually changed from astonishment to solemnity.
Abandoning the earth and becoming the last human exile in the desolate and cold dark universe... This kind of future is too lonely and terrifying.
Anya whispered, "If you want to hide, how many people can the Clausen family's shelter hold?"
Snow Heron replied, "Our underground city has its own arable land and breeding farms, and can accommodate up to 1,000 people for long-term survival.
A thousand people... There are hundreds of people in Xijiao Town alone, plus members of the Clausen family, Edenists, free people... It is impossible to accommodate everyone.
"You don't have to worry too much in Feather Snake City. Even if we fail, Eden may not spend too much energy to eliminate the three AI systems. Feather Snake City may develop in the direction of Cyborg (electronic man), maybe even In the end, they can coexist with the collective consciousness for a long period of time, until their transformation of the body goes to extremes and they lose their human identity." Adam said his prediction of the pessimistic future of mankind in a tone similar to talking about the weather, "and, although The odds are not very high, but we still have a chance to win. Maybe in the end, you don’t have to run away anymore, but you should start worrying about a series of bribery, corruption and abuse of power after humans regain control of society. Said You might even start to miss Eden by then."
No one in the room even refuted.
After the meeting, the members of the Clausen family began to prepare aircraft and weapons for Adam. And Adam lightly held the hand of Zhang Xun who had been silent all this time, and said to him, "I'll take you to the room where you rest."
