Chapter 717 SAI Technology

The meeting nominated Lin Jae-shan as the only candidate for consulship in Midtown, essentially establishing his leadership position in advance. He Xiaotian, Huo Qiankun and others immediately asked Lin Zaishan to arrange the work.

Lin Zaishan said: "Our immediate priorities are threefold: first, to appease the citizens and restore order; second, kill slugs and clean up residual poison; Third, repair mecha and strengthen safety protection. The first aspect of work is entrusted to Mr. Huo Qiankun; The second aspect of the work I will grasp myself; The third aspect of the work is presided over by Mr. He Xiaotian. ”

"Okay. Is there anything else Mr. Lin would like to decorate? ”

"In addition to the three urgent tasks mentioned above, we must also be ready to receive a large number of survivors into the city in the shortest possible time. By daylight tomorrow at the latest, more than 3,000 survivors of Belvedere will arrive on the outskirts of Midtown, and I expect them to be besieged by the swarm and need to be rescued by Midtown to enter the city; It is expected that nearly 50,000 survivors from the super battleship will also arrive within three days, and the existing housing and food supplies in Midtown will be in short supply. ”

"Food supply should not be a problem in the short term, and the underground granary reserves in Midtown have not been used, enough to supply 100,000 people for three years." The underground granary has always been controlled by He Xiaotian, and its data is a secret to others. He casually revealed one at the moment, which was enough to surprise others.

"Housing shortages are inevitable, but we can build huts and tents to meet the needs of newcomers in a short period of time." Huo Qiankun suggested, "Food and housing are completely solvable problems, and the tricky thing is the management after the population explosion." With a settlement of nearly 100,000 people, I believe it would be second to none in the world in the last days. ”

Lin Zaishan nodded, "In addition to Huaxia, I have also been to many regions such as rice countries and island countries, and as far as I have seen, the scale of 100,000 people is currently unparalleled. Governing a city of 100,000 people in a post-apocalyptic environment is a great challenge. However, this should not be an obstacle, as we still need to search and gather more people, and we need to multiply. I am confident that in the near future, Midtown will have a total population of 1 million or more. Only with a sufficient population can human beings withstand all kinds of tests and consumption and survive, and can they have enough strength and wisdom to get out of the last days. Population expansion is inevitable. ”

Wang Chengba interjected: "As far as I know, since the end of the world, pregnant women and newborns are rare, if not none. How can we expand the population when the fertility rate is almost zero? Searching for and rescuing existing survivors alone is not a sustainable solution, is it? ”

"yes." The crowd responded. They didn't want to find a thorn, let alone make things difficult for Lin Zaishan, but they were puzzled and curious about this issue.

Lin Zaishan replied: "I personally believe that the failure of human beings to reproduce the new generation in the last few years is related to mutation. The mutation of the end times is drastic and profound, and the degree of mutation of individual organisms varies greatly. In the case of asynchronous mutation, the reproduction of the sexes loses the original matching conditions, so they cannot have children. In other words, each of us belongs to a new species to some extent, and how can different species have offspring? ”

"Mr. Lin's explanation is very unique and enlightening; But why are the animals of the last days able to continue to have offspring? Huo Qiankun was obviously also attracted by this "academic problem".

"Because mutation occurs not only at the level of biological genes, but also at the level of star soul genes." Lin Zaishan replied: "On the earth, the star soul of human beings is of a relatively high level, and the mutation of their star soul genes is more complex and subtle than that of animals and plants. Species differentiation between human individuals will always continue until this variation stabilizes. And this variation and differentiation is directly and indirectly controlled by the concentration of the energy in the environment, which is actually a special particle brought by meteorites. According to my observations, the concentration of vitality has stabilized from continuous growth. In other words, the variation of life on Earth will move from an explosive period to a stable period. The compatibility between the sexes will grow over time, and it will become more and more possible to have offspring. ”

"I see. However, even if we try to encourage childbearing, it will take at least 20 years for the new generation to grow, so how can we achieve population expansion in the short term? Mr. Lin, don't tell me that the new generation is precocious. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Wang Chengba's words.

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "Because the way to expand the population is not only the reproduction of the sex. I've seen secret labs in the United States using cloning technology to create humans in batches, but I don't agree with this path. ”

"Mr. Lin, if you don't use cloning technology, is there any other way to create a human?"

"Of course, that's the Star Soul Technique. I'm sure you've seen the fireflies I made during the day, and they were created by adding them to animals from recoded Star Soul Fragments. In this way, not only fireflies can be created, but also all kinds of new species can be created at will, including humans. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and when others said this, they would definitely take it as bragging; But from Lin Zaishan's mouth, it is absolutely false. What's more, they saw the witch Landa turn Li Yan into a terrifying monster that looked like a devil today.

Wang Chengba asked tentatively: "Does it mean that my pig farm can be used as a man-making factory in the future?" ”

"Technically, there's nothing wrong with that; But ethically, there are serious problems. Unless at a critical moment, or after our concepts, lives, and systems have been perfected to a certain extent, we should try not to use pigs or other mutant beasts to create humans. And there is the impact of the damnation to consider. What I plan now is to mass-produce SAIs, i.e., intelligent robots and intelligent creatures powered by the Star Soul, using Star Soul technology. ”

Lin Zaishan then briefly introduced the principle and application prospect of SAI, which made everyone at the meeting fascinated. He did a demonstration on the spot, adding a reprogrammed low-level Star Soul to a malfunctioning mech in the conference room. This mecha immediately "lived", spat out people's words, and took the initiative to serve tea and pour water for everyone, just like a professional waiter.

"Now, this mecha can not only provide professional conference services, but also protect everyone in times of crisis. Since the Star Soul that drives it is coded by me, even the terrifying beings such as the Star Soul Shepherd and the Fire Stealer cannot be cracked. Landa the Witch may have the ability to crack it, but as soon as she appears within the mech's sensing range, the latter will automatically warn and activate the code net. While I'm still awake, the witch Landa will never be able to breach my code net. ”

"Wow, that's amazing! Mr. Lin, why don't you start mass manufacturing SAI now? ”

"Mass production of SAI requires full concentration because a little carelessness can lead to coding errors. Coding mistakes can have many unintended consequences, some of which can be catastrophic. So, it's impossible for me to make SAI in batches when I'm busy with other work. Okay, that's all for now, let's move on to other important matters. ”

The meeting lasted until 10 p.m. After the meeting ended, Huo Qiankun pulled Lin Zaishan into a closed room and said quietly: "Mr. Lin, I have something to ask for, please be sure to help." ”

"Mr. Huo, please tell me everything, don't be polite."

"During the day, before you returned, the witch Landa turned my niece Li Yan into a ...... A monster with horns and wings. Shocked, she flew away on her own. Mr. Lin, I implore you to find Li Yan and bring her back safely. ”

"This witch Landa is really vicious." Lin Zaishan reprimanded and comforted Huo Qiankun: "Don't worry, I'll look for it, please wait for good news." After speaking, he suddenly teleported.

//////

A clear night is full of stars and a cool breeze. On the outskirts of Midtown, there is silence and no one. Under a big tree, Li Yan was hiding in the dark and crying against the trunk.

Growing up, she has long been accustomed to living in the experience that accompanies her beauty. She can be clumsy, she can be weak, she can fail, she can be sick; But never thought that I could be ugly, and it was inhuman ugliness. She never dreamed that she would one day become a devilish monster, and at the same moment, she would encounter two life disasters that hit women hard, falling out of love and becoming ugly. If it weren't for her strong, optimistic personality and nostalgia for her family and friends, she would have died a long time ago.

"I asked myself if I was kind and had never done anything harmful, why did I suffer this kind of retribution?" Li Yan was excited, and her two sharp claws swung one after another, cutting a large gap in the trunk of the tree.

There was a loud "crunch" sound, and the tree fell heavily.

Li Yan looked at her hands blankly, "Now that technology and magic are so advanced, there must be a way to restore me to my original appearance, even if it doesn't work now, it should be able to do it after a while." I can't despair, I have to pull myself together. She had just cheered up and remembered that Midtown had fallen into the clutches of the witch Landa (she didn't know the news of Lin Zaishan's return yet), "Uncle, they are now under the triple threat of witches, slugs, and mobs, and they are afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, who cares about my life and death and has the ability to save me?" ”

She couldn't help but think of Chen Gengxin again, who usually looked deeply in love with her, but she didn't expect to dislike her at a critical moment.

Li Yan felt a sharp pain in her heart again. Her body temperature rose sharply, her eyes erupted in flames, and the fallen tree in front of her was instantly ignited.

Suddenly, a dozen bizarre trees that looked like sturdy octopuses walking upright burst through the jungle and moved in front of her, enveloping her and spraying her with water and dirt.

Only then did Li Yan realize that she had invaded the territory of the intelligent plant, and she hurriedly vibrated her wings and prepared to fly away.

Those octopus trees stretched out hundreds of python-like roots and covered Li Yandang's head in the air. These tendrils interspersed and intertwined in the air, forming a large web that grew denser and tighter, obscuring the stars and the moon, and finally entangled her.

The octopus trees dragged the mass of roots wrapped around Li Yan and moved to the depths of the dense forest. Li Yan struggled ineffectively and used her abilities to no avail, so she desperately shouted, but where did anyone pay attention?

She felt the smell of death visibly at the moment, and the roots that wrapped around her began to secrete a corrosive liquid that made her flesh itch and ache. Although she couldn't see at the moment, Li Yan could feel that her flesh was festering.

"Am I really going to die?" Li Yan has seen countless deaths, but never imagined that her death would be so horrific and painful. "Even if I want to die, I will die with the best memories."

Li Yan's mind instantly recalled all the beautiful moments in her life, and for some reason, the picture of Lin Zaishan that flashed most in her mind at the moment was actually Lin Zaishan. His tall, muscular figure is so secure, his handsome face is involuntarily reminiscent of the sun, his bright eyes and the occasional goofy expression are as cute as a baby, and his heroic spirit is even more intoxicating.

"Lin Zaishan......" Li Yan tried her best to solidify her last-minute memories into Lin Zaishan's smile and forgot about the coming of death.

In her gradually blurred perception, Lin Zaishan suddenly shone brightly around her, driving away all gloom and darkness in an instant. His warm smile seemed to possess divine power, quickly healing her wounds.

Li Yan clearly felt that her vitality was rising, the pain around her body was rapidly receding, and her perception ability, which was already illusory, was also recovering, and finally she could clearly feel the environment and reality again. She found herself really lying in Lin Zaishan's arms.

Lin Zaishan used the strong light to force back the intelligent plant and recaptured Li Yan from the terrifying root mouth. He quickly scanned Li Yan's state and was sure that as long as he modified and adjusted some of the Star Soul genes and codes, she could be restored to her original state.

"Is it really you?" Li Yan reached for his face, still in disbelief, "I'm not dead yet?" ”

"Of course it's me." Lin Zaishan's voice sounded so kind, melodious and magnetic, "With me here, who would dare to let you die?" ”
