Chapter 959 Heartless Things and Old Missions
"You...what do you want to do! Any alien creatures are strictly prohibited here...Ah!"
……I see.
This is still the room in the old area, but in addition to Lin's mechanical octopus, there is also an Atlan here.
This Atlan is the guard Atlan who was outside before. Because there is no surveillance equipment here, and it just stands there, it is quite easy to catch it.
After catching it, Lin tested its brain.
This Atlan's brain is very special...
According to what the leader said, they became like this after taking the drug made of 'silver wire', but Lin found that Atlan's brain had no trace of damage.
Their entire brain structure is somewhat different from that of normal Atlan. To put it simply, their brains do not have this area for processing 'emotions'.
Basically, this Atlan's brain does not have the emotional areas in the ordinary Atlan's brain, so they will not have any feelings of anger, sadness, etc.
However, they still have goals to pursue, and just like what Lin knew before, the Atlans here are eager to improve their status and make themselves stronger than all... of their kind.
They have always been pursuing this goal, so they are constantly trying to obtain more resources and improve their status.
This has also led to a situation...this group of Atlans has become no longer united. Their way of thinking is mainly for the purpose of 'self-interest', and there is no...group thinking.
To put it simply, they have no ideas of companions or friends. They will not do anything for free. No matter who it is for, they need to receive what they consider to be reasonable remuneration when doing things.
They refuse anything that they feel is unreasonable. Even if their kind dies in front of them, they will remain indifferent if there is not enough benefit.
Many individual creatures will help their close companions for free, but this group of Atlans no longer do that...
Lin is very concerned about how they raise their young. Are they willing to raise their own cubs for free? Or……
Speaking of cubs, Lin also discovered that these Atlans were different from ordinary Atlans. They grew much faster than normal Atlans.
For example, the Atlan that Lin tested was only about the age of a cub. However, its body has almost grown to that of an adult.
This may be the reason why they...reproduce so fast. If they had been at the original speed, even if they had given birth to a lot now, most of them would have been pups, still far from adulthood.
and. Lin also wanted to know, are they willing... to give birth to cubs for free? After all, the birth process consumes a lot of energy, especially for female Atlan.
Maybe the Atlan that Lin tested was too small, and it had no idea of breeding. Lin did want to know their attitude on these things, because they have abandoned all emotions now, so they have become a quite... interesting group. .
At the same time, they also have a complete attitude of compliance with the laws they have set, and do not allow anything that violates the law. But Lin finds it amazing how their thinking sets these laws...
What Lin is more concerned about is this lack of emotion. If it was really affected by drugs, why would their offspring do the same? However, what Lin found in their brains now was not the effect of drugs, but that their brains grew up like this from the beginning...
As for the original leader here, the main thing he cares about is not that these Atlans have lost their feelings, but that they...have become completely indifferent to their own kind.
There was no unity at all, and they only cared about profit, so the leader felt very... uncomfortable.
It only recorded everything that happened in the past on these video screens in the old area. Its main reason for doing this seemed not to let anyone understand, but just... a kind of 'venting'.
But in order to prevent these emotionless Atlans from seeing its records,
It also has some special effects.
Before. When Lin clicks on the screen, a continuous flash of light will appear on the screen. Atlan, who has no emotions, has a special brain structure, and they will feel fear of this flash of light. And it will also make them feel like they no longer want to come near this place.
The original leader probably discovered this by accident and added the flashing effect to these image screens.
There are still many questions about Atlan here, but Lin also discovered something else here. After the leader's words, Lin saw something about Ersh.
This was also recorded by the leader, but it was not described verbally. Instead, the information is directly placed on it. The information on the screen represents...
These Atlans indeed come from a place called Ersh.
After the leader came down, it has been investigating everywhere in the old area. It said that it initially wanted to find a way to restore these Atlans, and then continued to investigate various things. There are also libraries here and the like. A place where many things are recorded.
And the leader accidentally discovered their origin.
Could it be that they have never discovered it before? It seems to be the case, because the leader said that this origin information is hidden in a very secret place, and only the leader's... cell nucleus information can be used as a 'key' to open that secret place.
It seems that the leaders here follow the inheritance system and directly let their descendants inherit themselves. However, none of the leaders in the past generations have been here to open it. Only it has touched this place.
Then, it discovered these information... The information described that they came from a very... beautiful world called Ershi, but there was not much description of Ershi here.
And the reason why they came here is indeed just as they thought, they drifted here. It seems that they initially tried to fly into the void to explore like the residents of Mars, but they failed after flying into the void. There is a way to go back. The description here is that when they flew into the void, Ersh suddenly disappeared and the surroundings fell into darkness.
It feels as if they have been teleported away.
Then, they began to live in the void, but this drifting life did not last long. After more than thirty pompom years passed, they came to this place.
Then they established a base here and began to live here. Because there are many resources here, they live a pretty good life here. Their main way of life is through scavenging.
Until a certain time, the second-generation base leader here suddenly received a signal.
This signal means that it comes from... Ersh. The signal also means that there is a way to get them back to Ersh.
However, it will only work until a certain time... which can be temporarily called 'void docking'. At that time, the Atlans here will all have the opportunity to return to Ersh.
But that will take a while, and it will also require cooperation from here to collect various things in order to complete this 'docking'.
The second-generation leader was very surprised, but he still believed the signal because he thought that since the signal came from Ershi, it must have been sent by his kind.
So, it does what the signal requires.
To complete the 'docking', the main thing is to let it collect some special things here, and then assemble it into a kind of machinery. After assembling it, you can start it in a certain location and you can go back.
The signal also explained why they came here. It described that they passed through some kind of 'hole' to get here, and the docking machinery could allow them to return through the hole.
Then, the second generation followed this information and started collecting materials for manufacturing machinery. There were a lot of these materials, so it was difficult to collect.
And there are a lot of materials that are just a rough outline. The main purpose is to let Atlan in Void City search everywhere. After finding various things and returning, the second-generation leader will contact the signal to ask it whether the material is correct. .
As for this matter, only the leader and some of his subordinates who have good relationships know about it. The ordinary residents of Void City don't know about it. Ordinary residents only know how to scavenge.
This is what the message from Ershi was going to do... It asked the leader not to tell most residents about this kind of thing. Although the leader thought there was no problem in telling it, he did it anyway.
This special collection work continues like this, and it is a very long process.
Until the death of the second-generation leader, the collection progress only reached 30%.
Of course, it instructed the next generation of leaders to continue this kind of work, but the collection work of this generation of leaders was much slower.
The original second-generation leaders would specifically order more unfamiliar objects to be tested to see if they could be used as materials for assembling machinery, while the third-generation leaders mostly requested the collection of useful materials and rarely tested useless materials. Whether it can be assembled, but this is mainly because the information from Ershi has hardly been sent.
The residents here have also changed several generations, and their impression of Ersh has become weak, or even completely forgotten.
Later, when the leaders were changed, the third-generation leader did not tell the next-generation leader to collect materials to assemble the docking machinery.
This matter was just forgotten, but the past information was preserved by the third generation leader, and was found by the leader of this generation. Because it was considered very important, it was placed in this record. Although it is said that now It seems to be of no use.
After this information, there was nothing else in the record. Lin felt that they might still be able to complete this matter now, but what Lin was more concerned about was...the message from Ershi should not have been sent by the same kind from Atlan. Came here.
But Ersh itself. (To be continued.)
