I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1549 - Golovin Mental System
Chapter 1549: Golovin Mental System
Although the technological capability of Golovin could be centuries ahead of Earth today, he did not show the arrogance of a higher civilization when he encountered a lower civilization, nor did his emotions change in the slightest. After he listened to Jiang Chen’s request, he thought for a few seconds before he said a vocabulary that Jiang Chen had never heard before.
“Golovin Mental System.”
Jiang Chen processed the vocabulary for a second, then asked subconsciously.
“What is that?”
“A system that allows us to think together.” There was a look of reminiscence in Golovin’s pupils as if a switch that had been sealed in dust for a long time was turned on again. “In the era with scarce resources, the word efficiency had been given a higher level of meaning. Every gram of steel must be used in the right place, every rivet must be sent to the right place, every citizen is a screw on a Soviet chariot.”
Jiang Chen stared at Golovin for a long time and a word suddenly popped out in his head, he blurted out subconsciously.
“Clone?”
He thought of the clone army that attacked the NAC on the subway line of Shangjing in the apocalypse, under the command of General Yegor. Although till the end, he still hadn’t figured out how much a clone fighter would cost, judging from how they treated the clones, the cost was likely to be extremely cheap.
“Yes.” Golovin nodded, but then shook his head right after, “but it’s not all right.”
After a pause, he continued.
“Human resources in the traditional sense are no longer applicable to the condition in Soviet at that time, so we set our sights on many technologies that were once considered taboo. The first thing that came to mind was the technology of cloning. We quickly acquired a young and strong workforce through Petri dishes. Even after suffering a devastating EMP and all automated machinery had failed, our workers can use a file and a hammer to strike out a power armor.”
“Is there such a big demand for labor in the twenty-second century? If it’s just a group of clones, what else can they do besides be cannon fodder on the battlefield?” Jiang Chen wondered.
In his understanding, the more developed the society, the higher level of automation in the production process, and the higher requirement for education in the labor force. Even if the Soviet Union obtained a huge labor force consisting of young adults through cloning, if the supporting educational resources did not keep up, it was not worthwhile.
“Of course, nothing can be achieved by just cloning humans,” Golovin said. “Traditional technology was combined with a concept that transcended the tradition. A brand-new technology and a concept, never been imagined before, was evolved. It was the Golovin Mental System.”
Golovin’s words made Jiang Chen suddenly think of Lin Lin and her two thousand younger sisters. Based on what she said, she and her sisters were connected by a network through a kind of mutual mind connection.
Perhaps it was Dr. Lin who borrowed the design concepts of the Soviets. In short, the Golovin Mental System made him feel a sense of deja vu. And Golovin’s next words also confirmed Jiang Chen’s speculation.
“Every cloned person implanted in the Golovin Mental System will no longer have independent thinking ability or personality, but will only serve as the carrier of the system. We no longer need to brainwash them with news, movies, and music. They are born to serve us, with a unified belief and a great will…Here we refer to the Soviets, we have not forgotten those great and dark years, but we just don’t want to think of it,” Golovin said.
“After countless version updates, the current Golovin Mental System has been given more meaning by us. First, we redefined the meaning of life and deleted useless thoughts such as doctrines and dogmas from our system. Then, it’s culture, science, military… Until now, all the aspects that we can think of have been perfected.”
Jiang Chen looked at Golovin in a daze as he was speechless at this moment.
He never expected that the CCCP would take such an unexpected route. They stuffed a group of clones who were instilled with communism into the colonization ship, let them serve as the carrier of belief, to spread their belief… But after he thought about it again, it made sense. There was not another group more suitable to spread their belief than a group of clones without the ability to think.
They did not doubt, were not confused, and did not get frustrated.
It was just that they probably did not expect that in the passage of time, the clones managed to fix the thoughts that were formulated. Through continuous self-updates, not only did the Golovin Mental System change completely, but on this basis, the entire system was transformed into a clustered conscious body that communicated with each other.
Jiang Chen’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, then he asked the question he had held back for a long time
“So the name Golovin…”
“Golovins’ name is Golovin, it is not only our common name but also the name of each of us,” Golovin said.
Jiang Chen finally understood why when he asked the name of his group, his answer was just “Golovins”. However, he still couldn’t imagine what this society composed of exactly the same individuals would look like.
“But how do you distinguish each other?” Jiang Chen still did not understand fully.
However, Golovn didn’t feel as if there was anything wrong with Jiang Chen’s question. Instead, he just answered it as if it was a reasonable question.
“We don’t need a name. One is all, and all is one. We have shared memories, shared knowledge, and we can think together and share each other’s joys and sorrows, so why put a special label on everyone? Before we met, we already understand each other. As for the name, it is just an unnecessary code name.”
Although they shared the same appearance, there was no doubt that they are no longer humans. In a person’s lifetime, more than half of the time was spent on gaining understanding, but it was an impossible task to complete to perfection. However, all of this was as natural as breathing and drinking water, not taught, but given by birth.
Thought was no longer a burden. The entire Golovin Mental System was like a spider web that connected all individuals into a collective, and all individuals served this collective from behavior to thinking, and all knowledge was shared.
In a sense, their society was really similar to Harmony. At least in collective consciousness, they emphasize collectivism rather than individuality.
But the key difference was that they relied more on mechanical technology that replaced weak organs with electronic components, pursued efficiency, and were not even limited to the human appearance.
From this point of view, they were more like Supreme…
After the meeting with Golovin, Jiang Chen leaned back on the chair and pondered for a long time.
He didn’t get up until the remaining half of the coffee turned completely cold.
He clicked on the watch and called Xin Presidential Palace.
It was the Secretariat of the Presidential Palace that answered the phone, Jiang Chen gave a concise order.
“In two weeks, convene a Earth Defense Alliance meeting.”
“Pass the message to Zhang Yaping, and ask him to help send out invitation letters to the embassies.”
