Chapter 659: The Day of Departure

Taking into account the needs of ocean-going operations under the new conditions and Lin Zaishan's personal qualities and characteristics, the current level of equipment of the super warships is far from being competent. Lin Zaishan came up with a basket of transformation plans in a very short time:

(1) First of all, he wants to install a control system for the super battleship that can integrate the latest technology before the end of the world, the black technology after the end of the world, and the star soul technology, which contains four basic modules: (1) a super perception subsystem; (2) hybrid intelligent decision-making subsystem; (3) Action subsystems (including ship management, automatic maintenance, simple equipment production and fire control, etc.); (4) R&D subsystem, automatically find theoretical and technical problems and develop them on their own, try and test technology and equipment, spells, star soul codes, verify theoretical ideas, etc. There is no doubt that the name of this control system is - Lin Fuzi. Lin Zaishan wants to use all he can in his life to build Lin Fuzi into the most powerful AI power in the last days and his most loyal and powerful assistant.

(2) Second, he wanted to equip the super battleship with the most complete code protection net, so that it could passively resist the long-term and multi-round berserk attacks of more than 4 Star Soul Shepherds without warning, and withstand the sudden attack of the Fire Stealers. In addition, he wants to give Lin Fuzi strong code maintenance and research and development capabilities, so that the super battleship can be used by itself when Lin Zaishan is not available, strengthen the code protection net, and even use many abilities.

(3) Again, equip the supership with the most powerful power and energy systems. Current superships use a mix of fuel, nuclear, and crystalline energy, all of which have their own advantages and disadvantages: fuel is inefficient and unsustainable; Although nuclear energy is exported in large quantities, nuclear raw materials cannot be supplied continuously, and leakage is easy to occur in the case of frequent access to dangerous situations; The crystal energy is powerful and clean, but the accumulation of technology for industrial utilization is still relatively weak. For others, the remaining options may be wind, solar, or some chemical energy, but Lin Zaishan has more options, especially since he can develop Star Soul Energy. He plans to programmatically transform a large number of low-level Star Souls into energy providers, using Star Soul code to drive these Star Souls to accumulate and release unimaginably powerful energy. Of course, he was still a short distance away from the goal of the industrialization of this star soul energy, and he still had to fully consider the consequences of the damnation.

(4) Lin Zaishan intends to transform the super battleship into a self-sufficient closed and unique ecosystem, which not only enables the super battleship to defend itself, but also realizes the independent production and sustainability of equipment and labor, and maximizes the recycling of resources and energy. The supership should have its own food, production and processing workshops for various raw materials and finished products, as well as advanced medical rooms.

(5) In addition, in order to meet the needs of all-weather, all-round, and multi-purpose operations, super warships must be equipped with many weapons, armor, detection equipment, mechas, machine tools, vehicles, helicopters, etc.

In a sense, the Super Battleship is not only a battle fortress floating on the sea, a safe home that can accommodate thousands of survivors, but also an external Star Soul Villa, the headquarters of Lin Zaishan's global raiders.

In order to maximize the goal of transforming the super battleship, Lin Zaishan made a very detailed list of supplies, and then assigned them to Bill and others to collect, buy, and exchange.

Before this, Lin Zaishan was worried about the safety of the survivors of Huaxia, so he specially asked Kong Se to rush to support first. In the next few days, he was completely immersed in the transformation of the super battleship, because the quality of the super battleship is not only related to whether he can safely return to China through the vast sea, but also determines the combat power of the survivors to a considerable extent.

He successfully developed the latest version of Lin Fuzi on the first day, and improved and upgraded the code protection net with the assistance of Lin Fuzi. With the latest code protection net, the survivability and safety of survivors in New City have skyrocketed. This also made Lin Zaishan himself more relieved to leave. Of course, this latest version of the protection code is also indispensable for superships.

The next day, he formatted the star souls of 20 guard bugs captured alive from nearby and reprogrammed them to create a group of laborers who retained the appearance of the bugs. These insects are laborious, humane, deferential, powerful, enduring, and fast, with many limbs and dexterous movements, and have become important helpers in the transformation of ships. Of course, considering the limited space of the super battleship, Lin Zaishan could not use too many sturdy insects as labor, so he tried to assemble the programmed star soul on a small mecha and developed a batch of robots with star souls. Because of the support and nourishment of the star soul, these robots are smarter, more flexible, and more adaptable than any purely mechanical and electronic robot; At the same time, because they do not rely on the physical body, they can make good use of the strength and strength of the mechanical body. Lin Zaishan is also preparing to carry out the recoding and domestication of the star souls of mutant beasts and zombies at the right time. With these basic labor, Lin Zaishan let go of many of the remaining things and handed them over to Lin Fuzi to manage automatically, and the latter had his own set of rationalized ideas and plans.

Lin Zaishan's main work on the third day was to install and debug code protection nets for the super battleship. He focused on experimenting with the maintenance and use capabilities of Lin Fuzi's code protection net. The latter lived up to expectations, completed various operations with approximately 100% accuracy, and withstood the surprise attacks of some masters specially invited by Lin Zaishan.

There are still many important aspects of the transformation of the super battleship that are worth continuing, but Lin Zaishan can't wait. On the afternoon of the third day, he announced in front of everyone that he would leave the United States for China early tomorrow morning in a super battleship.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, and Lin Zaishan's determination to leave makes many people have to make trade-offs, either actively or passively. Some people are determined to be born and die with Lin Zaishan, and these people are mainly the Salvation Society, the Knight Society, the Rose Manor and the Red Ball Express, with a total of thousands of people; Although there are also people who are reluctant to Lin Zaishan, they do not want or cannot leave the United States for various subjective and objective reasons, and these people are widely distributed in various forces such as the Apocalyptic Players Club, the Apocalyptic Saints Association, the North Mi Survivors' Home, and the Bison Bill camp; There are still many people who are not familiar with Lin Zaishan or do not fully recognize it, and of course they can't talk about following it.

Who to take with you, this is a very important question. If you bring too few people, the safety of the trip will be a problem; Bringing too many people with you can seriously weaken the viability of New City.

There are people who are so important that it is difficult for Lin Zaishan to rest assured if he does not have them with him, such as Caroline and Dr. Sam - for the former, he is mainly worried about his own comfort, and for the latter he is mainly worried that he will go wrong.

There are also people who are dead set on Lin Zaishan, and if they don't take it away, most of their lives in the United States will lose important spiritual pillars, such as Billy.

There are also some people who themselves want to follow Lin Zaishan, but Lin Zaishan has to consider their existence and interests in the United States, such as Sophia, Schwarronsen, Will, etc. Sophia's affection for Lin Zaishan is very strong, but her father, Bison Bill, needs her to stay behind to supervise and persuade him so that he will not go down the wrong path again; Schwarronsen is very compatible with Lin Zaishan, and he himself also wants to go to Huaxia very much, but he is an important leader of the Knights' Society, and if he leaves the United States, he will soon lose his influence on the Knights' Society, not to mention that he is now in a "inseparable" love period with Alice; Will regards Lin Zaishan as a life mentor, of course, he wants to follow him to the death, but Lin Zaishan has to consider Hades' feelings - if Will has three longs and two shorts by his side, Hades is very likely to anger the Huaxia survivors, or fall into an extremely negative and harmful mentality.

In order to grasp the situation and choose the entourage more rationally, Lin Zaishan ordered Billy and others to conduct a rough survey and statistics on the evening of the third day. The results showed that 1,345 people decided to go to China with him; There are still 3,690 people who want to go but have to stay.

"There are so many?" Lin Zaishan himself was a little unexpected. In his imagination, he is either called an "Asian monkey" or a "sissy", and occasionally "honorary titles" such as "idiot" and "pervert" by the "fellow countrymen" of the United States, which should be very unpopular; Unexpectedly, more than 5,000 people were willing to follow him, accounting for nearly 20% of the total number of survivors in New City; And more than 1,000 people have already made up their minds to travel thousands of miles to the unfamiliar China with themselves. "That's a lot of work."

//////

Just when Lin Zaishan was worried about choosing a candidate for his peers, Mei Yingxue and Master Qu came to him again for an interview.

"Xiaolin, I heard that you have announced that you will leave tomorrow. After learning this news, I specially asked Master Qu to make a prediction for your voyage from another angle. ”

Master Qu sighed and said, "I have learned experience and skills from the last Florida gathering to deal with the occupation of the second envoy of Beimi, and for those powerful and mysterious forces, I didn't dare to ask Zhan directly, so I asked about some things in the corners, and it turned out to be quite effective. I recently asked a few Star Soul Shepherds and Fire Thieves about their possible recent movements, and found one thing in common......"

"Let me guess." Lin Zaishan interjected: "They will all go to the super battleship to find my bad luck, right?" ”

"Absolutely. And ......" Master Qu wanted to speak and stopped.

"Master, please speak freely, and hiding it is not conducive to my decision."

"Every time those Rank 7 Plus harass the super battleship, there will be casualties around Mr. Lin."

"Oh? Who were the casualties? "While Lin Zaishan asked, he used his mental power to probe the images in Master Qu's mind, and saw many familiar faces." I know who will be killed or wounded, and as long as I don't take them with me when I set out, can it be avoided? ”

"This?" Master Qu couldn't seem to be conclusive, "Mr. Lin, of course the number of lives can be changed; However, any change to the number of lives itself will bring new consequences to the number of lives. You take steps to save some people from dying, but you also have the potential to inadvertently put others in danger. ”

"It sounds like it's a frustration."

"That's true, otherwise it wouldn't be fatal."

Mei Yingxue saw that Lin was silent in the mountain, and persuaded her: "Xiaolin, can you think about it again?" Perhaps now is not the best time to return to China. Why don't you wait for a while, when the overall situation of the United States has been decided, the transformation of the super battleship is completed, and you have more supporters in the United States, then return to China, wouldn't you have a greater grasp and more benefits? ”

Lin Zaishan shook his head, "I'm not saying how important I am, the survivors of Huaxia can't do without me; Rather, there was a vague feeling that if I didn't return now, I would miss something important. I have imagined many times that Shencheng and Zhongcheng were attacked by the Zerg, but I was not present to fight, and that feeling of regret, remorse, and self-blame is something that I will not be able to dissolve if I live for a few hundred more years, and I can't get rid of it even if I die. ”

"Xiaolin, I understand your feelings, but if you lead so many followers to Huaxia, if they are in danger on the way, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

When Lin Zaishan heard this, his heart was even more chaotic.

At this moment, a hearty voice came from outside, "Old friend Zalin, I'm here to discuss with you about leaving together tomorrow." "It turned out to be Schwaronsen.

"Come in!" Lin Zaishan introduced the trapped situation in his heart to Schwarronsen.

The latter smiled indifferently when he heard this: "Old friend, how can you bother with such a trivial matter?" Although I believe in God, I firmly believe that no one's fate is destined to be immutable, let alone intervening with a powerful guy like you. You are the heart of the Virgin, and you always have to take the responsibility of other people's life and death on your own shoulders. Zarin, listen to me: saving lives and the earth is our voluntary sacred mission, but the life and death of others have nothing to do with us! ”

"This ......" Lin Zaishan still couldn't turn around.

"Zarin, you have to believe that those of us who are willing to follow you are not brainless, and we also have our own beliefs and principles, and we can take responsibility for our own choices. If we die in battle on our way to follow you, it will not be misfortune and tragedy, but glory and pride! Besides, do you think that we can live forever without going with you? Could it be that without you, our probability of survival and safety factor would be higher? If you're not there, the zombies will call us brothers when they see us? Are the bugs willing to make peace with us? Will the Star Soul Shepherd treat us as good citizens? I'm telling you: the world would only be worse without you! We're only going to live worse! You won't even see tomorrow's sun. Zalin, believe me, no matter what happens, we will have no regrets and will face it with you! ”

"Old friend, what you said touched and inspired me. Thank you for your enlightenment at this critical time. ”

"In that case, then don't want a mother-in-law. Whoever signs up will take whoever goes, it's as simple and capricious as that. I don't think anyone dares to say more than half a word? Schwarronsen glanced at Mei Yingxue and Master Qu proudly, "Zhalin, with your current strength, you can do whatever you want among the humans on Earth, who can do anything to you?" ”

"Forget the rest of the sentence."

//////

Schwallonson's words made Lin Zaishan suddenly enlightened, and he had a clearer idea of who to choose to go with. Caroline and Dr. Sam must be taken away, Schwarronsen can't be pushed away, and Fritsch will definitely go out of his way to spy on him; Sophia and Will must stay, otherwise it will probably lead to chaos in the world; Reiner seems to have no protection from himself, it will be difficult for him to continue to mix in the United States, so it is better to take it with him; As for the rest of the people, no matter how affectionate they are and how important they are, they all depend on their personal wishes and "fate". The so-called "fate" is that Lin Fuzi randomly selected 100 of the rest of the people who finally made up their minds to go.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Zaishan announced his list of candidates. When everyone learned about it, they immediately talked about it and made a mess.

Lin Zaishan had already anticipated this situation, and immediately used his ability to explain to everyone, his main reason was that the journey was difficult and dangerous, and it was of a path-finding nature, so he couldn't carry too many people into danger; After arriving in Huaxia safely, he will soon use the super battleship to come to New City to pick up the others who want to go.

After all this effort and a lot of appeasement, it took everyone to settle down. However, Sophia, Will and several others are still unconvinced, especially Sophia, who interprets this candidate as the importance ranking in Lin Zaishan's mind. When she found out that she didn't make the 100 list, but Caroline was second, and even Adele was in the top 10, she couldn't help but be angry and angry.

"Zhalin, you bastard, stop!" Sophia finally managed to stay up until the idlers dispersed, and then rushed over to block Lin Zaishan and asked sharply, "Why can even Adele, a little bitch, go with you, but I can't?" ”

"Sophia, the people on those lists are randomly selected by the computer."

"Impossible! Is my luck worse than theirs? ”

"It's not your luck problem, you're the first person I specifically ruled out."

"Oh? Why are you doing this, my dear? ”

"I'm also thinking about your father and nearly a thousand men. Sophia, if they weren't for you, they'd be in trouble. ”

"It's ......" Sophia is not stupid and knows that this is the truth. I persuaded my father that they would go with you to China, is that okay? ”

"Sophia, it's not that I won't let you go, but you don't want to get on this boat, you are definitely welcome next time."

"Then you tell the 'Holy Maiden' not to go this time."

"You know, Caroline is vulnerable without my protection."

"Am I not going to be hurt?"

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but look big when he saw Sophia's jealous appearance, and sighed: "Sophia, I need reliable people to stay in the United States to be my ally." Looking through the entire New City Barrier, you are the person I trust the most. If it weren't for you, I really don't know who to entrust with such a mess. ”

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Fake, I'm pretty good at lying to girls."

"Hmph, I'm telling you the truth. Say, what do you have to entrust me? ”

Lin Zaishan immediately explained a lot of things to Sophia, and when she saw that her mood calmed down, she was about to leave.

"Wait. You don't think you're going to be able to send me away with this, do you? ”

"What else do you have?"

Sophia jumped over and threw herself into Lin Zaishan's arms, entangled him with her hands and feet.

"Hey, I'm ......" Lin Zaishan still struggled.

Sophia leaned over and exhaled a little, which made him feel sore.

//////

The next day was a sunny day, with blue skies and calm and windless, suitable for long voyages.

Lin Zaishan and the selected people have been boarding the super battleship since early in the morning. Lin Fuzi quickly settled everyone and assigned them a place to live and post according to their characteristics.

At 11 p.m., everyone stood on the deck and waved goodbye to the thousands of survivors who had come to see them off on the shore.

Lin Zaishan said loudly: "In the past period of time, I have been in trouble in the United States, met with you, fought side by side, and left a lot of extraordinary memories. I am where I am today because of your great help. Once again, I solemnly pledge to do my utmost to unite and protect you. ”

The crowd chanted in unison, echoing his speech.

Lin Zaishan continued: "Before I leave today, I have a gift for you, which should be regarded as a commemoration and a small contribution. ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a series of glowing code nets rose into the air, protecting the New City Barrier tightly. People can feel the inspiring and touching positive energy emanating from the protective net from far away.

On the land, everyone raised their arms and waved towards Lin Zaishan. Sophia and other people who are close to Lin Zaishan all have tears on their faces.

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but feel hot and sour. He hardened his heart and said the last sentence: "I, Lin Zaishan, will come back again!" ”

With a long roar, the super battleship shook its huge body and sailed south against the midday sun.
