Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 35 Planet Nemesis and Mechanical Ascension

During the conversation, Xie Shen's spacecraft had slowly docked near the Europa Space Station.

The reason why "docked" was used instead of "docked" is because the power system of the Europa space station had been completely paralyzed at this time.

Not to mention docking with the spacecraft, even the internal lighting and oxygen supply systems had stopped working.

Looking around, the entire space station was pitch black.

Inside the spacecraft cockpit.

While wearing the pressure suit, Xie Shen asked the man in the suit, "This space station doesn't look much smaller than our Tiangong, so how come it was suddenly destroyed?"

The man in the suit said, "According to the information released by the top management, the initial judgment is that the destruction was most likely caused by a laboratory leak."

"Laboratory leak?" Xie Shen asked in confusion.

The man in the suit explained: "Europa, Tiangong, and Heaven, the three major space stations, all have different strategies for the Tower Prison."

"For example, our Tiangong Space Station."

"Our senior management is relatively conservative."

"The strategy is to vigorously develop science and technology, expand the habitable area of ​​the space station, and further increase the population."

"When we are strong enough, we can consider counterattacking the Tower Prison."

"You're right." Xie Shen took over the conversation and said, "This steady and cautious approach is indeed in line with the Chinese style."

"Yeah." The man in the suit followed up, "But there are also radicals in our space station."

"Just like our separation meeting."

"Oh, no more words."

"Let's talk about the chat room again." The man in the suit continued: "Compared to our Tiangong, the Heaven Space Station is much more radical."

"They have many political parties, and they rotate leadership through elections."

"In order to win more votes, those parties often make various promises."

“Just give me an example.”

"One party once promised that once it came to power, it would mobilize all resources to develop a 'planet-killer' missile."

"That thing is very powerful. Just a dozen or so shots would completely destroy the Earth."

"In this case, the Tower Prison will naturally cease to exist."

Ah this
Xie Shen was shocked after hearing this and said, "Isn't this method a bit too radical? If the earth really disappears, where will we humans live?"

"Just live in outer space forever." The man in the suit replied, "And you know what, this idea had a lot of supporters at the time."

“Most of those who support it are people who have been in the Tower Prison for hundreds or even thousands of years.”

"So it's normal to be a little extreme."

"Let's talk about Europa."

The man in the suit got back to the point and said, "The higher-ups of this space station are neither radical nor do they intend to stay hidden and grow."

“They thought.”

"Uh"

The man in the suit thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it? It feels a bit like escaping."

"They proposed a plan called 'Mechanical Ascension'."

"It's about uploading everyone's consciousness to the server, and then relying on solar energy to keep it running."

"Once this plan succeeds, all human beings will be able to achieve immortality in the true sense."

"Since you won't die, you won't be imprisoned in the Tower Prison anymore."

"So in theory, this plan can be considered an effective means to fight against the Tower Prison."

The man in the suit continued, "Then in order to realize the 'mechanical ascension' plan, the Europa Space Station began to vigorously develop biotechnology and built a number of biological laboratories for this purpose."

Xie Shen followed the man in the suit and said, "So the destruction this time was due to a leak in the biological laboratory?" "Yes."

The man in the suit responded, "I guess the top management keeps sending cyborgs over there just to get the biotechnology from Europe."

Xie Shen followed up with, "So that's why you kept urging me and made so many promises, just so that I could get the technology first?"

"That's right." The man in the suit admitted, "Then we separated and tried to send a cyborg over."

"But not long after arriving, the man died."

"So, now I can only rely on you."

On the docking platform of the Europa space station.

Just as the man in the suit was explaining the whole story, Xie Shen finally put on his pressure suit and carefully walked out of the spacecraft.

The entrance to the docking platform is a long and narrow passage.

——Because the power system was paralyzed, the narrow passage was completely dark at first glance.

With the help of a searchlight, Xie Shen discovered several bodies lying at the end of the passage.

He immediately showed a look of alert and said, "There is something wrong. There are several corpses in front of me. There are white balls growing on those corpses. They look like hearts and are beating non-stop."

"Don't worry, it's safe." The man in the suit said to Xie Shen, "Those white fleshy balls are called 'macrophages'. As for where they came from, I don't know. Anyway, human corpses will basically grow these things after being left in space for a long time. You can just ignore them."

Hearing this, Xie Shen suppressed his nausea and continued to explore deeper.

Repeat this process for more than a hundred steps.

In the darkness, Xie Shen suddenly heard wailing in the distance, so he immediately turned off the powerful searchlight above his head.

Judging from the voice, the man seemed to be asking for help in English.

Xie Shen's English is only half-baked.

In order to find out what the other party was saying, he decisively put his hand on the headset and quickly switched to pickup mode.

A few seconds later, the man in a suit who also heard the cry for help said, "The man is saying: He heard your footsteps, and asked you to stop hiding and go and save him."

? ?
Xie Shen frowned and said, "He's lying. I was deliberately keeping my voice down when I was walking, so how could he possibly hear my footsteps?"

"Then don't rush over." The man in the suit suggested, "Get a little closer and use the searchlight to take a look and see what's going on."

reasonable.

Xie Shen turned on the overhead searchlight as instructed and moved slightly closer to the source of the sound.

'boom'!
I don’t know why.

The moment he got closer, Xie Shen felt a powerful impact exploding from his mind.

He was knocked to the ground by the impact.

"What's going on?" The man in a suit who heard the noise asked hurriedly, "Did you just fall down?"

"Yeah." Xie Shen said solemnly: "I just received a mental shock."

"To put it simply, someone is attacking my soul."

"I just want to know," Xie Shen asked the man in the suit, "With current technology, are there any weapons that can achieve this level?"

"Unheard of!"

The man in the suit said, "Scientists haven't even been able to prove whether the soul exists, so how could they have the kind of weapons you mentioned?"

"That's interesting." Xie Shen stood up from the ground.

In broken English, he shouted into the darkness: "Friend, since we are on the same side, is there any need to hide from each other when we meet?"

"Are you Chinese?"

Xie Shen's half-baked English level is very recognizable.

The other party guessed his true intention as soon as he heard it, so he switched to Chinese and asked, "You just said we are 'comrades', what do you mean?"
