Chapter 276 Sequoia base highest authority (33)

"...Is this what happened in this central control room back then?"

Integrate the past phantom information I have seen, and the information about the brain-eating worm that I have guessed before.

At this moment, Ian 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 catastrophe, 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 it was preserved extremely well.

Just 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 ecological circle, continue their own knowledge, and maintain the entire base.

However, knowledge degrades without enough population.

Even if the intact knowledge manuals are all stored in electronic devices, or printed into books, or engraved into slates, as long as there is a teacher who misunderstands, as long as one of the descendants of any generation does not understand what he needs to inherit knowledge, then knowledge degenerates.

All researchers in Sequoia Base are geniuses and elites, but they cannot guarantee that each generation of their descendants will be elitesas long as there is an ordinary person, their knowledge will be lost.

There is too much knowledge, and 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 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 pass on the knowledge and memory it reserves from generation to generation perfectlybecause This group of brain slugs has an internal psionic network, and all their knowledge and memories, 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 "big elder", had evil thoughts in his heart.

He wanted, eternal life.

So, that man forced 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 genes of the brain slugs, allowing them to return to their ancestors and become ferocious brain parasites in ancient times, and created insect nests, using the most primitive, barbaric and **** methods to continuously invade the lives of their compatriots. Flesh, reducing them to echoes without self.

But besides 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 psionic network.

At this point, the worm nest lost its master and fell into chaosthis is why the parasite he saw before did not come to attack him, but kept wanting to return to the central control room.

Because the psionic network inside the parasite is already in chaos, part of it is the original instinct, part of it is the Great Elder, and there are remaining fragments of the other five elders who sacrificed themselves.

only

"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 truly became aborigines."

"The native who eats people and drinks blood."

Ian muttered to himself, he raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the entire central control room, and looked at the entire Sequoia base group: "The brain-eating worm community has never been extinct, and it has even grown stronger in recent yearsthat parasite The river of water is the proof."

"Although the consciousness of the great elder was shattered, the souls of the five elders also disappeared. Today's parasite is probably a ferocious and terrifying artificial biological weapon, and there are 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 a habit they developed after leaving the Sequoia Base. And It is also a mystery that the cloning of abnormal people is uncontrolled. Before the natives left the Sequoia Base, there must have been some crisis or lost knowledge.

However, these crises are not very important.

Because of all that, the Sequoia people are constantly struggling after losing their glory.

Under Andor's puzzled but awed gaze, Ian stepped forward.

He jumped over and came to the main control seat on the second floor.

Then sit on the seat.

Click, click, click.

The automatically extended data cable was accurately connected to the young man's neck, and the invisible data flowed, making Ian's eyes light up.

Performing identity checks...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 whitelist 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 is collapsed and damaged in a large area, and the transportation channel has undergone dangerous changes... Based on this judgment, the Sequoia Base is in a' Extreme danger' state]

Calling a central administrator authority user...Call failed

Calling a user with sub-administrator rights...Call failed

Call registered user...Call failed

The call went on for a long time while Ian waited patiently.

Until that moment.

Confirm that there are no emergency handlers, and start the transfer of maintenance authority

A huge, sequoishaped logo appeared in front of Ian's eyes, with gentle subtitles flashing: [Welcome, Your Excellency the temporary administrator, you have registered as the ninety-seventh emergency maintenance engineer]

Please

Ka, Ka Ka...

When the automatic AI in the central control room is transferring authority.

Suddenly, the silver chip in Ian's body changed.

And Ian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately concentrated on sensing the change of the chip.

But unfortunately, the chip only transmitted information for a moment because the central control room responded to Ian's nerve connection, and then fell silent again.

But at such a moment, the AI in the main control room of 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
