Chapter 761 Persist Until the Last Second

In the brilliant sunshine, a planet is rapidly ushering in its demise.

The sun-facing side of Zomu exploded like fireworks under the irradiation of stars. The thick rock formations melted, exploded, vaporized in the sunlight, were torn off by gravity and scattered into space gorgeously and magnificently. The entire planet continued to spray out water as it rotated. Hundreds of millions of tons of stellar material move towards the end of the planet in the most spectacular way. On the backside of Zhuomu, a bridge of life is trying its best to save the civilization that once lived on this planet in the last six hours before the end.

The strata near the equator bloomed like buds, and countless huge tentacles between plants and animals snaked between the crust, pushing aside the rock formations that were taller than the mountain peaks, and a group of A structure composed of flesh and blood, plants, and machinery is trembling slightly in the center of this huge "bud", and the red light it emits is now the most eye-catching light on the back side of Zhuomu.

This entire structure is like a huge flower of life, blooming in this hell world that is about to fall into the scorching sun.

The Giant Turtle Rock Platform is like a silver-white flying bird. It hovers deftly at the core of the "Flower of Life", connecting a large number of cables and pipes to the heart of the planet, extracting outstanding nutrients like a hummingbird gathering nectar. Mu’s 1.6 billion souls.

A detection drone flying over the planet captured this spectacular and rare scene, and quickly sent it to the censors' communication platform.

The censors often publish the images recorded during their missions on this platform, and Hao Ren has gradually developed this habit. It is not to show off his achievements - there is no need to show off in front of his colleagues. He records and publishes these just to remember every step he takes, and to record every civilization and every encounter he encounters. Scenery: Because these scenery are always easy to disappear.

Just like Zhuomu in front of him.

"The current progress is good and the bandwidth is just enough." The data terminal has been paying attention to the transmission of souls. "Thanks to Imperial Technology, we have known how to transcode souls many thousands of years ago. Otherwise, it would be useless to upload and download souls. So easy."

Hao Ren patted his chest with some fear: "I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't set up these drone groups at that time..."

"If you want to show off your foresight, just say so." Lily glanced at him sideways, then wagged her tail, "But having said that... Landlady, you were really farsighted at the time. You can't tell it at all normally."

Vivian laughed after hearing this: "Normally we don't see that you can graduate from Peking University four times."

As things progressed smoothly, the atmosphere in the spacecraft seemed to become more relaxed, and everyone started joking again. However, Hao Ren never took his eyes off the console during this process. At this critical moment, he didn't want anything to go wrong.

Time passed quietly like this, unbearably slow. Hao Ren didn't know how long he had been staring at the console. He only knew that Vivian brought him a cup of tea to let him rest for a while, but soon He returned to the captain's seat. The amount of data of 1.6 billion human souls plus the soul of one eldest son is staggering. Even if the drone swarm optimizes the transmission structure as much as possible, it will not be able to completely transmit it in a short time. As time goes by, the only six hours of night on this side of the planet are gradually coming to an end, but the bar on the console indicating the progress of the transmission is still nearly one-tenth unfilled. The atmosphere on the bridge immediately became tense again. Lily stared at the external monitor with wide eyes, and a flash of flame appeared in the reflection in her eyes.

"The sun is rising!"

During the entire transmission process, the Giant Turtle Yantai has been hovering synchronously over the data release point of Zhuom, as the planet slowly rotates, and now it has finally rotated to the position of welcoming the rising sun, with a dazzling wall of fire. Appeared far in front of the spacecraft.

The data terminal screamed: "There are still the last five percent!"

The majestic sunshine has appeared on the horizon, and the horizon scorched by the high temperature has ignited a raging "fire". It is not a real flame, but a light curtain produced by the refraction of the sunlight as the rock steam sprays into the sky. However, it The temperature is even more terrifying than ordinary flames. This wall of fire began to move towards the data release point with unwavering momentum, consuming the entire world along the way!

And advancing together with the wall of fire, there is also the more deadly gravity of the star. In the picture transmitted by the external monitor, the distant horizon bulged upwards strangely as if it was rolled up, and countless fine black substances seemed to float and fly towards the sun. The huge vibrations have even begun to destroy the structure of the data release point in advance. Around the "Flower of Life", the earth is collapsing, huge sinkholes appear one after another, and the eldest son tentacles inside the data release point are moving at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was quickly stained with a layer of deathly gray-black. The sun finally burned through all the protective layers, and the tissues of this ancient creature were dying in large numbers.

However, its central nervous system is still working tenaciously, and the connection progress is still displayed on the console. Although the progress is slow, it is undoubtedly advancing!

"Three percent!"

The sunlight continued to advance, and the outer shell of the Giant Turtle Yantai's spacecraft was finally tinged with a golden-red light, while the fragile tissue inside the data release point was completely exposed to the heat of the star. Without the protection of the ground, everything began to burst into flames.

"One percent!"

The tentacles of the eldest son have been ignited. Due to the thin oxygen, this burning process is weird and shocking. Tentacles that are hundreds of kilometers long emit strong light under the sunlight, and then directly turn into coke. This process advances at an alarming speed, threatening the "heart" at the core of the data release point in almost the blink of an eye. However, the "heart" itself is still alive, and the remaining energy of the entire planet has been transported to this location. It is sending the last bit of data to the main engine of the Giant Turtle Yantai!

But at this moment, the data terminal suddenly exclaimed: "It's stuck!!"

Hao Ren didn't react for a moment: "What's stuck?"

A lot of messy data flashed across the holographic projection of the console, and finally locked on an entry. The terminal shouted loudly: "Nolan! Nolan's data and communication link are incompatible!"

At this moment, the sunlight has spread to the base of the "heart", which is rapidly undergoing a process of collapse under the high temperature. The surface of the indescribable tissue and organ was suddenly covered with veins, and then large areas exploded, and a mixture of source blood, electrolyte, industrial grease and flesh and blood fragments erupted everywhere. Seeing this scene, Vivian was even more anxious than Hao Ren: "What's going on?"

"The data link of the drone swarm is set to a special mode for transmitting souls, but we only logged in the soul codes of Drom and the eldest son," the terminal quickly explained, "Nolan - she is an AI!"

Hao Ren suddenly understood.

Although Nolan lives in a virtual world, she is not essentially a member of that world at all, or to be precise, she is not a member of a "creature".

Her soul belonged to the machines that kept the eldest son alive.

The data link established in a hurry by the drone swarm can only be used to transmit the soul of carbon-based creatures. This system forgot to leave a path for Nolan!

This is equivalent to forcibly sending data through the network when the protocol is incompatible. No matter what, when the data reaches the destination, there will be only gibberish.

And even if the forced transmission is successful and Nolan's data is sent to the Crystal Core Research Station, the best case scenario can only send away the memory bank: a compressed file containing all of Nolan's memories. But without a soul, it is equivalent to losing the execution program. These data will no longer be able to run. Others may be able to see all of Nolan’s life experiences from these data, but no matter how you read them, the girl named Nolan Will never respond again.

Hao Ren stared blankly at the rapidly collapsing data release point, but his brain did not freeze. He squeezed out the last bit of his wisdom and suddenly asked the terminal loudly: "The only problem is that the transmission protocol is incompatible, right? In terms of storage, it is It’s no problem, right?”

"Yes..." The terminal was startled, "What do you want to do?"

Hao Ren didn't say anything, but quickly entered the last command on the console.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had worked hard on weekdays and figured out most of the operations of these high-tech equipment.

When the last command started to be executed, the sunlight finally completely enveloped the data release point. The bright flames engulfed the last surviving tissue of the eldest son. After a few seconds, a huge explosion erupted from the lower level of the data release point.

All parameters on the console are also cleared at the same time - everything is finally over.
