Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 52 A long, long, long time ago... (4)

As the Earth continues to heat up and burn, more and more people leave the air fortress of the monitoring hall via connecting spacecraft, and some enter space with the "Spark Project".

No matter how prominent their identities were in the past, whether they were I2SPO board members or famous scientists, after deep hibernation, they would be placed in a hibernation capsule the size of a coffin, indiscriminately stacked with other people into piles of standard-sized payloads, and launched into deep space by high-thrust rockets.

And those who ultimately chose to be buried in their hometowns got their wish and returned to the ground in spaceships. They used the remaining ground infrastructure controlled by digital intelligence to return to the place of death they chose as much as possible.

Many people chose their hometowns, while others chose places they had never been to but longed to visit.

The last group of people who remain on Earth and in low-Earth orbit have finally come to the moment of saying goodbye to each other.

Deng Ailin still maintains his good habits, patrolling the hall every day, checking every surveillance image and providing valuable confidence to those who continue to stay.

Menjie and Taole were like his children, accompanying him, one on his left and one on his right.

As long as the three of them show up on time every day, those who are still busy at their jobs will feel that mankind has a future and everything is on track.

"Academician Deng, the data cleansing principles for the Dandelion Project will be officially implemented tomorrow. Last time, you mentioned that a patch was needed, and you've also received authorization from the Board of Directors. What exactly does this patch refer to? I'm afraid you'll need to provide me with input today." Tao Le reminded him, "After all, processing the data takes time. If it's completed too late, it will affect the progress of the entire Dandelion Project."

"Hmm..." Deng Ailun nodded slightly: "I will definitely give you input today. Before that, I will talk to Menjie first."

Menjie was somewhat flattered. "Academician Deng, the Council has authorized you to do this, and it's a major event related to the continuation of human civilization. Am I qualified to participate?"

Deng Ailun glanced at Menjie and said slowly, "Everything will be over soon, and we're about to usher in a new beginning. There's no need to dwell on this now. Besides, the principles have been established. No matter what patches we make, it won't change the overall situation. There's no need to panic."

"Yeah." Menjie nodded firmly.

Deng Ailun looked at the surveillance camera closest to them, which showed a dynamic image of a high-thrust rocket taking off from the Wenchang launch base in Hainan.

Both spectacular and heroic.

"Our patch plays a similar role to the fuel in a rocket engine. It's like replacing the rocket with a more efficient and safer fuel, further improving the safety of the rocket and thus increasing the possibility of the continuation of human civilization... Even if the chance is only one in ten thousand, it's worth doing."

Menjie followed Deng Ailan's steps and continued to move forward.

Tao Le walked a few steps to the side and sat down, his eyes focused straight ahead, "concentrating" on the massive amount of data.

Deng Ailin and Menjie walked through the floor where the main hall of the monitoring hall was located, which was also the top floor of this sky fortress, and walked down the escalator.

"The current data cleansing principles were determined after a vote by the Board of Directors. Of course, as you know, the final vote was very close, and our principles only won by a narrow margin. Director Gus was very dissatisfied with this, but he is an upright gentleman and ultimately accepted the principles. In fact, I was quite inspired by our argument."

Deng Ailun seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to Menjie beside him.

Menjie heard Deng Ailan's words completely and clearly.

Although he did not attend the board meeting, he still had a very comprehensive understanding of the entire process after the meeting, especially the differences between the two sides on the principles of data cleaning.

"Well, ultimately, Director Gus's point is that we've deleted too much data about the superstructure of human civilization."

He carefully organized his words to respond to Deng Ailan.

"Yes, you've summarized it perfectly. In our view, the superstructure is determined by the economic base. Of course, we should first preserve the parts related to the economic base. As the economic base develops, the superstructure will naturally grow. However, Gus's point is that we shouldn't ignore the importance of the superstructure, especially reminding us that the scarcity of time is also a scarcity... Actually, I know that too. It's just that the amount of data we have is simply too large, and we can't be ruthless in making choices, as it will affect the overall situation."

After hearing this, Menjie lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, he had accompanied Deng Ailin to the bottom of the main hall. This floor belonged to the living area, which was distributed with dormitories, kitchens, fitness centers and other functions. The buildings were composed of very structured basic meta-models and were very convenient to disassemble and assemble.

Since everyone is working upstairs now, this floor seems very quiet.

Deng Ailun looked at the neatly organized buildings and said with emotion, "It's a good thing we adopted a structured approach. We simply brought up the meta-models that constructed these different purposes and functions, and then had people familiar with them complete the construction of the buildings here. Otherwise, if we had just moved these houses up there, it would have been impossible."

"yes......"

Menjie agreed, still thinking about the previous question in his heart.

His eyes swept across the building complex in front of him, once, twice... Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his whole body trembled with excitement, and his breathing became rapid.

In order to seize this fleeting inspiration, he couldn't wait to speak quickly, "Academician Deng! Can our patch also refer to the construction method of these building complexes? Simply building the buildings and then moving them up here is definitely impossible because the structures are too large, so we can only bring up the basic meta-models for their construction and then build them here on site. According to this idea, if the civilization data in our 'Dandelion Project' can no longer accommodate the content related to the superstructure, is it possible to simply create a character, give this person some basic theoretical knowledge, and then, when they are lucky enough to be reproduced, guide the construction of the superstructure?"

Because he was too excited, Menjie couldn't control the volume of his voice, and his voice even broke at the end.

His voice stood out in the quiet.

After hearing this, Deng Ailun seemed to be struck by something and froze completely.

But soon, his eyes, which were old but still full of vigor, became extremely bright.

"Great...Great...That's a great idea, just patch it up!"
