I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1041 A plan

Seeing that everyone remained silent, the man sitting in the main seat silently clenched his hands on the table.

Although he seems to be in a high position, he will inevitably feel tremendous pressure facing so many people alone.

Looking at the documents on the table, his clenched fists slowly relaxed.

"Since you haven't made a decision yet, I'll reiterate the plan. If there are any problems, we can solve them on the spot..."

He turned to the first page of information.

"I won't read out the specific plan, let's just go over the execution process briefly."

"First, we need to build two spaceships, one for carrying animals and one for carrying humans."

"The ship carrying the animals uses live animals, using the 'integrated fungus' we developed to sustain their lives."

"As for the ship that carries humans, we use digitized transportation. We digitize all humans and put them in the 'data grid' of the spacecraft."

"Everyone, are there any problems with the plan up to this point?"

After saying these few simple words, the man sitting in the main seat raised his head and asked everyone.

"Yes." A researcher raised his hand. "Some people still cannot accept digitization. They are very opposed to it. Can't we use integrated fungi to maintain life like animals?"

“No.” The man in the main seat shook his head: “Although the integrated fungus can sustain life, it will link consciousness together...Humans cannot be infected by this fungus. Linking consciousness is a very scary thing.”

"What's more, only by digitizing can we escape the abyss's location... No matter where we flee to, the abyss will be able to find us. Only when we are no longer 'human' will the abyss let us go."

The researcher who raised his hand nodded, but seemed unwilling to give up: "Can we eliminate the linking instinct of the integrated fungi?"

"Of course not. The reason they can maintain their lives is because of this linking instinct. It is an ability, but also a price. They will spontaneously maintain the life of each linked individual. Without the link, they are just ordinary fungi."

"Then...does it have to be digitized? Is there no other choice?"

"Do you have any other ideas? If so, you can propose them now. The plan can still be changed. Digitalization is just a compromise. After we escape from the abyss, we can use human data to recompile the physical body and then return to the physical body. Everything is temporary. This is also the least costly method at the moment..."

"Ok."

The researcher who raised his hand responded without asking any more questions.

"It is normal for the public to worry. Their cognition determines their behavior. You and I both know that datafication is just a means of hiding. Human beings themselves are a piece of data compiled by cells. We just save this data in a different form and then translate it back. If you can't explain it to the public, then don't explain it. The decision is made by you, not them."

"I understand."

"Well, do you have any questions? If not, I'll continue reading."

The man sitting in the main seat looked around, and seeing that no one continued to ask questions, he looked at the information in his hand and continued to explain his plan.

"The two spacecraft will follow the predetermined route, leave the Earth, and fly to the nearest habitable planet. After arriving at that planet, they will test the living environment there. If it is suitable, the spacecraft will dock there until the influence of the abyss completely disappears, and humans will re-carnate and continue to develop human civilization on that planet." "If the environment there is not suitable, the spacecraft will follow the route to another habitable planet, and repeat this cycle until a suitable one is found."

"When passing by these planets, the spacecraft will obtain energy to support the next leg of the voyage. These technologies are already very mature, so I will not introduce them in detail."

"Does anyone have any questions or comments about this step of the plan?"

The person in the main seat asked again.

"Yes." Another researcher raised his hand. "What if we can't find a suitable planet? Can the spacecraft keep running? Interstellar travel is a very time-consuming thing. It may take us hundreds of years to reach one of the planets. During this time, humans are in a digitized state. If something unexpected happens to the spacecraft, isn't it very dangerous?"

Hearing the researcher's question, the man at the main seat asked in a deep voice, "Are you doubting the technology I brought?"

"No, it's not me... To be honest, these technologies have only been used in laboratories and have not been tested by time. The government cannot accept such a risk. They have asked me to provide strong data proof more than once, but I couldn't provide it. I could only use some experimental data to make excuses. You know, they are not willing to do things that they are not sure of."

As the researcher explained, he tightened his grip on the materials in his hands, the sweat on his palms soaked onto the paper, and his breathing became rapid.

"I know you are doubting my skills, after all..."

“I am not from this world.”

The man sitting in the main seat looked at the researchers and spoke slowly.

"But what I have done for you is not enough?"

"Since the advent of the abyss, I have been warning you, advising you, and guiding you."

"Your government doubted me, ignored my warnings time and time again, and violated my guidance time and time again. Each time, human civilization suffered a severe blow. Now, only one ten-thousandth of the entire human race is left..."

"I'm not trying to prove that I'm right. I just want to help you and save the human beings in this world. Some people call me the 'savior'. I accept it, but I just want to use this identity to gain the power I deserve and use this power to promote the implementation of the plan. All I do is so that the human beings in this world can survive in some way."

“Don’t be like the world I once was, turned to ashes in despair.”

"I have explained the technology used in this plan to you in detail and reported it to your government. This is all real data I brought from other worlds. You have also simulated it. There is no problem."

"Think about it carefully, why does the government always make things difficult for you?"

"Because the government, fundamentally speaking, is a power concentration formed by a group of people holding power. As the center of power, they will instinctively be disgusted by anything that is 'out of control' and all 'risky and radical' behavior. Even if the plan you propose is beneficial to the entire group, they will prioritize 'whether it is safe' rather than 'whether it is useful'."

"There are many smart people in your government. They have delegated the power to execute the plan to you in order to avoid excessive caution caused by the concentration of power. You should live up to this trust."

"Again, the choice is yours."

“Ask your heart what you should choose.”
