Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Can you two be more careful?"

Li Chu looked at Jean and Deguna, who were dismantling the shell of the main unit. It was a bit rough to disassemble many parts. Li Chu was afraid that if the alarm defense mechanism was triggered, he would be in trouble.

Now there is only one thing Li Chu has to do, which is to directly take apart the host, and then disassemble it layer by layer, covering some parts that will trigger the alarm mechanism with some fog programs, so that he can crack passwords, tamper with core programs, etc. By changing everything, these alert mechanisms can work for them.

"Don't worry. Although we are not good at programming, we are very clear about the mechanical circuit structure and will not destroy the functional output connection part."

As Jean said, Deguna stood up, took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed one to Jean.

The two planned to take a rest. This was already the third day. They had a clear understanding of the situation in the base. Some of the original equipment was still preserved in some of the research rooms below. This was great for them. of.

Now they have to start planning for planting, because some parts of the ground are made of concrete. They have to shovel the concrete away first, then bring in some soil from the mountains and forests outside, and then use fluorescent lamps to illuminate it.

The power generation situation is also a bit abnormal. There should be problems with some external solar panels. Jean and Deguna plan to go out for maintenance tomorrow and take materials to repair all the solar power panels on the mountain.

"Hurry up when you've had enough rest. All the machines in here are running, which consumes too much electricity."

Li Chu just wants to quickly change the core program of the base, and change it to the AI ​​he developed, and then find a way to embed some equipment management in the base into the AI ​​program, and use AI to take care of the big things in the base. Part of the matter.

The raw materials here can be managed by AI, because many devices have smart chips, but there are only old-fashioned smart processing systems. Now if everything is connected, the entire base can be fully automated immediately. Otherwise, they would have eight people. and energy are limited.

The entire transformation will take at least two months, and it can only be completed with the cooperation of AI machinery. If there are dozens more people now, this process will be shortened to half a month. Unfortunately, there will be no one here.

There are very few people who know the location of this base, no more than 20 people. Gu Yi is one of them. Even the soldiers who served there in the past don't know where they are.

In fact, everyone originally wanted to bring some people over, but it was obviously unrealistic, because most people were difficult to control, so they decided to wait until the base was built, then go outside to bring a group of children back, and then educate them. Teach them as much knowledge as possible and train them into scientists so that mankind can continue.

All aspects of adults' experience and cognition have been fixed. Jean and the others have also tried to win over some people, but unfortunately, in such an environment, there is nothing they can do.

Especially those humans who have survived from the end of the world to this day have become extremely selfish in order to survive. Such selfishness will lead to many problems. Their selfishness is also normal in such an environment.

Since we can't change it, we can only start with children and raise them up so that humans can continue to survive.

They are not young anymore, and they only have twenty or thirty years of life left at most, so now they have to go all out.

After a while, Gene and Deguna continued to dismantle, and in the hall outside, Tang Rao, Werther, Rose, Ellie, and Gu Yi were driving a construction truck and destroying some concrete floors.

Now the entire cement floor in the hall must be completely broken up to expose the soil layer below. Then the broken cement can be broken again through the furnace in the base and used.

There is a rumbling sound of machinery. Fortunately, the engineering vehicles here are very complete. This base was originally going to be expanded and improved, but due to the construction of the Dragon Lighthouse, this base can only be temporarily abolished, because many things in the mountains are It's not very convenient, but it would be a shame to dismantle or blow it up.

Therefore, when the base was abolished more than ten years ago, only some important research equipment was taken away, leaving some less important items. Moreover, the base still maintained water and electricity, and someone would come to inspect it once a year, at a minimum. Maintain this base.

Soon a core computer center was disassembled. Li Chu immediately went over and looked at the dense wires and some circuit panels. He looked carefully, then followed the memory to search for records on the computer, and then started taking pictures.

We need to understand the physical structure of the system and the working conditions of all aspects, so that we can transform the system. The whole work is too complicated, and other people only understand part of the program, so Li Chu can only come alone.

"It's okay now."

Deguna asked, and Li Chu nodded. It was already past 5 pm. Jean and Deguna planned to go directly to the warehouse, take out some solar power panels, and start installing them. After they were ready, they would bring them with them tomorrow. Go out with the solar power generation panel and restore the overall power of the base first.

They have checked the electric energy storage device, and there is no major problem. They are now collecting as much electric energy as possible, and then transferring the electric energy to some electric energy storage equipment to ensure the use of electric energy in the next few years.

After the sun completely disappears, they can only use chemicals to generate electricity, or use water resources to build a water cycle power plant. The entire transformation project is huge and time-consuming, but they must plan everything possible from the beginning. taken into consideration.

Plan the base for at least 100 years. Only in this way can there be enough time for human beings to fully survive.

After a while, Jean and Deguna came to a warehouse where solar power panels were stacked. This new type of solar power generation panel, which is only 1 square meter, has excellent power generation capacity. Many panels have not been disassembled. After being disassembled, there are many The parts all require manual assembly.

"so many."

Gene laughed awkwardly, and the two of them could only start to examine it. First, they had to figure out the structure of this solar power generation panel, and then they could start assembling it. They had already gone to the top of the mountain yesterday, and there was a direct The giant elevator on the top of the mountain is more than 30 square meters and can be taken up by a helicopter.

"What do you think about Werther?"

Deguna asked, Gene looked at Deguna, thought for a moment and then said.

"Perhaps we are all different from before. You should feel the same way."

Looking at Deguna's body, she has become younger again. Everyone has tested their own cells and did not see anything different, but such changes exist in everyone's body. They can't work for a long time. They will feel tired, and for them eating is just to satisfy their taste.

There is less and less food to eat, Gene said with a smile.

"Perhaps we were already dead when we fell."

Deguna sighed and looked at her hands. Her skin had become more and more delicate, and many of the old physical problems in the past had disappeared. Her long years of military service had already caused serious problems in her legs. Deguna would often endure the muscle damage, but now the pain has disappeared.

"No matter what this change looks like, it is generally a good thing for us."

Ellie ran over after a while.

"time to eat."

Gene and Deguna were assembling solar power panels. They got up and returned to the hall. Nearly one-third of the ground in the hall had been crushed. Tomorrow they would continue to crush, clean up the entire ground, and then The helicopters were parked in another room.

Today is another rich canned food, including meat, fruits, and wine.

"Did we eat a little extravagantly?"

Gu Yi said with a smile. Everyone drank from the wine in their hands. Li Chu sat tiredly on the recliner. He felt too tired.

"What do you think the situation is like outside?"

Tang Rao muttered and Deguna said.

"When we reached the top of the mountain yesterday, we conducted observations and found that the cloud cover was getting faster and faster."

The situation is getting worse, and after it gets worse, people can only move towards places where there is still sun and mountains and forests, so that they can survive.

"By the way, we have to find a way to put the helicopter in the warehouse tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we have to dismantle the helicopter first."

Rose muttered that it was actually a pity to dismantle the helicopter. After all, helicopters will be very useful in the future, and the most troublesome thing is that many helicopters will have problems if they continue to be placed like this, but If you want to take off, a lot of gas will be wasted.

"Dismantle it."

Deguna said, and everyone nodded. Many equipment on the helicopter can be used, and dismantling them is the best for the entire base.

"Everyone, let's continue working for a while after eating."

After finishing speaking, Werther took a swig of wine.

"You haven't fully recovered yet, so drink less."

Li Chu reminded, and Witte laughed.

"I don't know why, but my body is in great shape now. I feel like it's totally fine even if I don't sleep for several days and nights."

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the sun set at the end of the grassland. Allen sat quietly on a chair, surrounded by people. Today, many people came from the highway, nearly 200 people. They all escaped all the way. Yes, the situation in the city below is already extremely bad.

But something happened today that made Allen very angry. What he was worried about happened, and so many onlookers around him looked extremely angry, and there was also a woman crying.

In front of them are several men kneeling on the ground. Although they are not Allen's confidants, they are also the better fighters in their group. Last night, they took advantage of the night to pull a woman to the lawn away from the camp.

This kind of thing didn't ferment until the sun was about to end. The woman's husband led many people and beat two people to death, leaving four people. Allen knew very well that no matter how he handled the matter now, there would be no satisfactory solution. .

Several confidants also persuaded Allen to just drive away the people who killed their people, but Allen did not agree. People are now distracted, and doing so will only deepen the anger in many people's hearts.

And if the people under his command are executed, the same will happen to the people on his side.

If this matter is not handled well, the situation will become very serious. Although many people do not speak up and remain silent now, it does not mean that they will remain silent in the future.

"How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Allen stood up and shouted, and for a moment the crowd was furious, saying that these bastards should be killed.

Allen had known for a long time that this was indeed the result. The men behind him raised their guns, and the noisy crowd calmed down for a while. Allen did not want to use this method.

This kind of thing was actually very common in the cities below and all the way here, but now it is urgent to establish a stable order.

"That's good. Both sides will take a step back. Taking advantage of this incident, I hope to announce a few laws to everyone. Anyone who violates them will need to be punished. In serious cases, they will be expelled or shot directly."

Allen said, and the woman's husband roared angrily.

Immediately, the men around Allen went over and held him down.

"We are not happy to see something like this happen, but you can come to us and tell us what happened. There is no need to kill people directly."

Allen soon gave a solution. The four people were not allowed to set foot on the grassland and could only live in the defense facility at the end of the road. The man who killed the person had to unconditionally help other people who owned farmland to work. The land he cultivated himself is invalid.

For a while, many people protested angrily. Allen listened to them quietly, then raised his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.

The crowd calmed down again.

"Tomorrow I will officially promulgate the law and set up an incident handling committee. Not only our people, I will also select people from you to join the committee. If there are any problems in the future, private fights are not allowed and they must be passed. The committee will handle it.”

The crowd began to disperse. Although many people were still dissatisfied, they could only do this now. After a while, many people began to go back to where they lived, and Jade came over.

"I think this is best."

Allen smiled and shook his head.

"It's just temporary. If this committee can't stabilize everything, this place will collapse."

Allen had actually thought about it for a long time. It was impossible to build a stable base and conflicts would definitely break out. He now understood why the eight scientists chose to leave directly.

Now the planting area has produced a lot of food. However, as long as the food production reaches a certain amount and it is still unable to integrate everything, Allen plans to only build a small base with a relatively small number of people and isolate everyone else. Outside.
