Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 837 - 354: Dawn City and the Phoenix Society (9K Two-in-One)_4

"So, once humanity completes the transition from brain consciousness iteration to digital consciousness, the limits of lifespan and thinking boundaries become infinite. This is a key to civilization’s leap forward!"

The crowd fell silent, Monica joined the discussion with great interest, resting her chin on her hand at the table: "I’ve actually heard a theory that humans are also a type of machine, and all phenomena in the organic world can be explained from a mechanical perspective. The only problem is social acceptance and the pace of civilization’s iteration."

As she spoke, she pointed to the old man fishing in the distance outside the window: "For instance, this situation."

Lin Xian chuckled softly at the comment: "The genius scientist Mochizuki Masashi cannot live forever, but you who inherit Mochizuki Masashi’s knowledge can iterate indefinitely."

"Clever."

Mochizuki Masashi smiled, then looked at the aging figure outside the window and said lightly,

"He and I are not the same entity, but the reason I am who I am, and the reason he is my teacher, is because I need ’humans in the loop’ during the learning process to further perfect perceptual errors."

"Alright, after saying so much, let’s arrange the dinner party first."

Mochizuki Masashi pointed a finger, and the holographic image disappeared. At this moment, the door opened, and the maid robots walked in neatly, serving exquisite dishes. Everyone saw that they were all fresh vegetables and meats. The fresh green vegetables were vibrant and fresh. Although Lin Xian found it unsurprising that such a large Silent City had a green plant cultivation base, the meats left him a bit shocked.

Because apart from chicken and beef, there was even fresh sushi made from sea fish!

This indicated that the Silent City might have a large aquaculture pool, which was simply extravagant.

"Isn’t the water body now severely polluted by the dark invasion? How can fish still be raised?" Qian Deli placed a piece of sea fish sushi into his mouth and couldn’t help but ask.

"Do you have to have water to raise fish?"

Opposite him, Qian Suxun said with a smile: "It’s like your Plant Cultivation Chamber; you don’t need soil to grow vegetables. Moisture, oxygen, energy, oxygenated gel fulfills the survival conditions. It’s not a difficult task, right?"

Lin Xian looked at the two: "Have the people of Silent City already completed digital consciousness uploading?"

"Most of them have." Qian Suxun shrugged: "The Conscious Memory is also a valuable strategic asset right now. We also need to perform some screening and assessment. Additionally, given the computing power issue, it can currently only be stored within the Silent City’s cloud network. Individual autonomy requires massive industrial construction capabilities, which is still in progress."

"Lin."

Mochizuki Masashi looked at him: "If you’re willing, you can export a backup of your own consciousness. You might find it useful in the future."

"Use myself?" Lin Xian asked in surprise.

Mochizuki Masashi smiled and said: "For you, it may seem strange, but to those around you, you are still you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon saying this, Chen Sixuan, KIKI, Qian Deli, Shi Deyuan, and others looked at Lin Xian with subtle expressions.

"Haha, you can give it some thought. Everything follows your personal will."

"Now, let’s get down to business." Seeing Lin Xian remain silent, Mochizuki Masashi smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Thank you all for cooperating with Silent City to overcome this difficulty. This time, we invited everyone here partly to express our gratitude. If there’s anything you need Silent City’s help with, whether it’s supplies, ammunition, or weapons, I can provide it. On the other hand, it’s to sync some intelligence with you all regarding Silent City’s... hmm, certain directions and plans that you might find interesting."

"I know you’re probably thinking of heading north to find the central region or entering the Pacific via the Star Orbit Ocean Segment. If you want to leave, Silent City will send you to the nearest orbital line. Of course, if you’re willing to join Silent City, I would be very welcoming."

"That sounds great." Shi Deyuan downed a cup of sake on the table and joked, "In a world full of crises, who wouldn’t want a big tree to rely on."

Ning Jing asked seriously: "What is the plan for Silent City?"

"I’ve mentioned it before." Mochizuki Masashi said in a calm tone: "Actually, it’s not just us; Dawn City, Phoenix Society, are the same. The ultimate goal is to escape from Blue Star."

Chen Sixuan frowned: "Phoenix Society is also planning to run?"

"What else?"

Mochizuki Masashi chuckled: "The difference between Phoenix Society and Dawn City is essentially just divergent ideologies on handling the world crisis. The Federation is elite-politicized, and Apocalypse Day means despair for the entire world. Do you think the Underground City project was the initial plan? No... That was just a survival plan after the Starship plan failed, and the Federation lost all satellites, space-based systems, the South Heavenly Gate, and the Wangyue Planet Ring. It was under such despair, fear, and confusion that the Federation split into two camps. One is the Old Federation... oh, which became Dawn City, composed of Chairman Chu Chu Zhaonan’s group representing the wealthy and elite class."

"These people want to quickly gather the remaining resources and elite population not devoured by Star Abyss for self-rescue, under the guise of protecting the last fire of human civilization. From a logical standpoint, their idea aligns with a non-human society direction. The problem is that they can’t achieve it, and our current societal development hasn’t reached this stage, so it became a land grabbing game for survivors."
