Chapter 180 The Resurrected Lighthouse Core Brain

Lord Morgan woke up, but he was still weak, so everyone didn't say anything to him.

Everyone went in to have a look, reassuring him that the lighthouse was operating as usual, and then they all left.

And Morgan was too weak to speak or move, so he just blinked to show that he knew.

It was still some time before dawn, so everyone went to rest.

The lights that had been on all night were finally turned off, which wasted a lot of precious energy.

After the lighthouse was basically plunged into darkness, Zhou Shu got up from his bed. His movements didn't even disturb the guiding robot beside him, he floated up directly, and then floated out of the lighthouse.

After confirming that no one had discovered him, he increased his speed and flew towards the T-69 area.

He was going to have a look.

The previous action was too violent, and it also caused a hydrogen explosion in the nuclear reactor. I wonder if the Mana ecology there was destroyed?

Flying at extreme speed in the air, due to breakthroughs in various attributes and increased telekinetic power, his flying speed has also increased a bit, from just 700 kilometers per hour to 780 kilometers per hour.

It is equivalent to upgrading from a P-51 fighter to a P-51H.

Zhou Shu felt that one day his flying speed would exceed the speed of sound, but he didn't know how his body would break the sound barrier. What kind of experience would that be?

Soon, he approached the T-69 collection area, and when he approached, he found that the energy reaction there was more complicated than before, so complicated that he had to land early.

Fortunately, his ground speed was also quite fast, and he didn't encounter a single Devouring Beast on the road, so it was quiet here.

Running to the edge of the T-69 collection area, he found that this place was completely a big crater, but fortunately it was not a nuclear bomb crater.

Although the power of hydrogen explosion is not small, it still does not "burn glass" in the end.

The main body of the big pit is still the former Nirvana Biological Company. After it sank as a whole, it was originally a relatively large underground space. After the big bang destroyed it, the fragments in the big pit were only broken more evenly.

Some things were still burning in the pit. Zhou Shu probed the top first, but found no breath of life, then landed at the bottom of the pit, and still found no breath of life after probing down.

In this way, the Mana ecology here should be completely destroyed, even the Pole Devourer did not stay here, and left here completely.

"Just a hydrogen explosion and killed him?"

Zhou Shu was a little confused.

If Mana's ecology is so weak, how did the earth become like this?

Or is it just a small role here, and "dangerous ecologically dense area" is just the definition given by the lighthouse?

After much deliberation, Zhou Shu still leans towards the second possibility, after all, this thing is the existence that causes the end of the world.

He has only been here for a week, and he has only seen this one mana ecology. Even in the animation, he has never seen many mana ecology gathering places.

However, he has seen some settings, and there are huge humanoid beasts in some mana ecological gathering places, which should be quite powerful.

In the spirit cage game, not only is there a huge humanoid beast in it, but it can also emit light and fly.

Hidden in the smoke, how cool is it!

That kind of pole-devouring beast is probably the legendary "king-level" pole-devouring beast. I wonder how powerful that kind of pole-devouring beast is?

Zhou Shu is looking forward to it!

There was no breath of life here, so Zhou Shu didn't stay much longer. Although some things were not completely blown up and he could still pick up some things, he was not a wild hunter and was not interested in these things.

After staying here for a while, he found that the chaotic energy reaction here was gradually weakening. After a while, this place would probably become an ordinary wild land.

Shaking his head, he left here. If possible, he would like to suggest that the lighthouse fly to a more dangerous place.

A few hours passed, the sky began to brighten, and the lighthouse was lively again.

Santo Morgan woke up a few hours ago, and then slept for a while, finally feeling much better.

After being the city lord for so many years, although he was very weak last night, he still felt that the state of everyone yesterday was not right.

And he also felt that his heart was not right, it didn't feel like his sickly heart, and then he thought that he might have changed his heart.

But he was convinced that there were no available transplant hearts matching his in the lighthouse, unless a match was made now and then a suitable person could be "donated".

And he remembered clearly that it was Charles who made him angry for a heart attack, and he woke up in the ward and didn't see Charles, which made him feel more and more wrong.

So he summoned the heads of various departments and planned to hold a ward meeting.

After everyone came over, several people had dark circles on their faces, obviously they hadn't slept all night.

They came in to see San Francisco Lord Morgan, and found that his condition was much better than yesterday. When they saw them, he did not lie down, but leaned on the raised bed, sitting to meet them.

"Tell me, what happened yesterday?"

Morgan asked calmly.

Hearing this tone, everyone looked at Dr. Carrie, and found that the other party gave them an "OK" gesture, and they knew that the city lord had been injected with sedative drugs.

This relieved them.

"My lord, the thing is like this..."

Mark and the others discussed last night, who is more appropriate to report to the city lord, and after much deliberation, it is more appropriate for the city lord's "deputy" General Victor.

After all, he is the "host" in every meeting.

Following Victor's report, Morgan's complexion became darker and darker, and everyone watching became more and more worried.

Morgan didn't expect that during the short period of time when he was in a coma, the three major survival rules were broken one by one, and there were quite a few people.

Fortunately, nothing major happened. Charles and other high-level members of the Church of Light and Shadow were imprisoned, and there were no casualties among the people of the Lighthouse, but some things were wasted.

On the contrary, the nighttime action of the wild hunter team shocked him a lot. Because of the presence of Zhou Shu, not only did they not suffer any casualties, but they actually killed the Pole Devourer and even blew up a mana ecologically dense area.

Human beings seem to have really seen the dawn of returning to the ground.

These things made him realize that it was right for him to choose to give up the position of city lord.

A new era may be coming, and some old things are no longer suitable for the new era, including him, an old guy. He no longer dares to make major choices, and only dares to survive carefully on the lighthouse.

So after listening to Victor's report, he took a deep breath, let the blackness fade away, restored some blood color, and said, "I'm really old."

"After such a trouble, even if I have a healthy heart, my body is not as good as before, but the route to the lighthouse is still very long, especially according to Mark's report, there is a new fork in front of the lighthouse. "

"I'm old, and I don't dare to make major decisions anymore. It's time for young people to take the helm."

"This person needs to have high moral character and tenacity, so I decided..."

Morgan spoke slowly, scanning everyone's faces.

There were some things he didn't say, such as the fact that he had a heart attack because he was angry with Charles.

After all, when he planned to give up the position of the city lord, he changed from a city lord who had to ensure the survival of more than 1 people to an old father.

The reason why Charles became like this is that his old father has a lot of responsibility.

It is the fault of the father to raise or not to teach.

So he didn't plan to give his son another sentence. He was afraid of telling the story. When he traveled far, Charles was still locked up in prison.

In the end, his eyes fixed on a strong man, and he made a final decision with a gratified smile: "I have decided that Mark will succeed the city lord."

As soon as this sentence came out, no one else had any objections, because Mark could take on this important task, and only Mark said: "My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task..."

"Okay, Mark, I'm not discussing this with you."

Morgan waved his hand, "Mark, everyone here believes that you can lead the lighthouse to light, so don't refuse. The ceremony will be held in five days."

After saying this, he looked at Dr. Carrie again and asked, "Doctor, how is my situation now? Can I move?"

After hearing this, Dr. Carrie looked at the data on the monitoring facility and said: "Sir City Lord, your current situation is not bad, but it's best not to make too big movements. If you want to go out for a walk, I suggest you use a wheelchair. .”

"That's good, you go find a wheelchair, and I'm going to take Mark to a place."

"it is good."

Everyone knows that there are some secrets on the lighthouse that only the City Lord knows. City Lord Morgan did this to tell Mark these secrets.

Only knowing those secrets, Mark will become a real castellan.

Carrie asked the nurse to push the wheelchair, then carefully let Morgan sit on it, and finally Mark, who was in a complicated mood, pushed it away.

According to Morgan's instructions, Mark pushed him closer and closer to the core area of ​​the lighthouse, and said nothing redundant along the way, until they came to a passage without any figure and saw a closed door.

"Mark, I know you have a lot of questions. You don't know why I made the three laws, you don't know why I insist on burning your sister to death, you don't know why I divide good people into superior people and ordinary people, and you don't know why I decided to burn your sister to death. Why does love require people to believe in the ethereal Lord of light and shadow?"

Hearing this, Mark was silent, while Morgan laughed at himself, and then said: "Actually, the three laws were not made by me, or even made by people, so the three laws are so cold, there is no Nothing human."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Mark was shocked.

Although he didn't understand it very well before, he also knew that these laws did have an effect on the continuation of human beings, but they were too strict, but after that, he was completely confused.

He was about to ask, but was stopped by Morgan with a wave of his hand. Instead, he told him the password to change the authority and asked him to enter the password.

With doubts, Mark went to enter the password, and Morgan said, "Everything you want to know is behind this door."

Hearing what San Francisco had said, Mark stopped asking any more questions. After entering the password and pressing his palm on it, a female electronic voice said: "The authority has been changed."

Then, the door opened and Charles allowed him to continue pushing the wheelchair in.

Behind the gate is a huge passage, and connecting the gate is a narrow aerial corridor, which is fixed in the huge passage by trusses.

Mark pushed Morgan to go in. Morgan lowered his head, squinted his eyes and kept saying: "This is the energy and computing core of the lighthouse. The lighthouse used to rely on this equipment to maintain operation and plan future routes..."

Morgan was talking to himself, but Mark's eyes were completely attracted by the things at the end of the passage, and his brain was processing these unprecedented information, making him hear Morgan's voice as if he was in a distant place, not in beside him.

Pushing Morgan closer to the thing, Mark breathlessly looked at the huge glass jar, which was filled with liquid, and floating up and down in the liquid was a giant brain that had been cut open.

The brain is so big that it's big enough to fit in a car, and it's cut open, so it's better to say that half of it is a brain and the other half is an artificial computer.

Not to mention the computer, Mark was really shocked by the biological brain.

It emits this variable color light, and it is covered with long tentacles. As the brain floats up and down, the tentacles are constantly swaying.

The tops of the tentacles were also constantly flashing, as if they were calculating something.

There are many lines between the half biological brain and the computer, and they are also connected to a huge mechanical spine. The mechanical spine extends downwards and is connected to a huge base.

While Mark was observing in a daze, Morgan continued to talk with his head down.

"It's called the 'Kroto' system. It existed in the 'Tartaros' era before the lighthouse. You don't know what 'Tartaros' is. It doesn't matter. When you become the lord of the city, you can do whatever you want." Look at the data, let's focus on it now."

"It has computing power beyond human cognition, and can observe the position and momentum of microscopic particles at the same time. We still can't understand how it works, but the information it once told us keeps us alive."

"Back then, when it was still functioning normally, Tartarus used it to know the time of the disaster in advance and successfully escaped."

"Later, we tried to use it to deduce the future of human beings, trying to find a way to fight against the Mana ecology, but the answer it gave was symbols and formulas that we couldn't understand. The only thing that could be interpreted was one coordinate."

"The first-generation city lord went there immediately, but there, only one baby was found, and this child...is you."

"Later, for some unknown reason, this core stopped providing computing power, lost its brilliance, and became gray..."

Morgan kept talking, and Mark kept thinking.

A brain is so big, so how big would a person with this brain be?

No, no, how can humans be so big!
Yes, it might be the brain of the Extreme Devourer, because he has seen a huge Extreme Devourer.

After the death of the Polar Beast, wouldn't it turn into black water?
How did such a huge brain survive?
And if you look carefully, you will see that the arc-shaped existence has so many tentacles. In fact, this brain is like a huge mana flower cut into four petals, but the flashing colors are different.

So what does this mean, have humans been protected by the brains of the Devouring Beast or the broken Flower of Mana?

Just thinking about this, his brain extracted the key information from the "distant" voice.

"Mark" and "Grey".

After thinking about it carefully, he remembered everything the old city lord said.

It turned out that he was not born in the lighthouse, but a baby found from other places, and the coordinates were still calculated by this thing.

I am still the way to fight against the mana ecology.

But he couldn't even kill the Devouring Beast, let alone defeat Zhou Shu. How could he be the solution to Mana's ecology?

And this thing has stopped providing computing power, and it has become dark...

Wait, he looked at the gleaming thing in front of him, and the old city manager called... gray? ?

So he blurted out: "Lord City Lord, this thing is not gloomy if you think about it."

Morgan, who was constantly narrating the history, was taken aback when he heard the words, opened his cloudy old eyes in disbelief, and looked up at the brain.

What he saw made his eyes widen.

This thing is... alive again!
