Chapter 495 Weakness!
Chapter 495 Weakness!
Her tone contained not a trace of pleading.
It's just stating the facts.
Zhang Yan agreed.
She left.
Guan Xing waited until she was far away before leaning over and speaking softly.
"Her change in attitude was more significant than we had anticipated."
"No," Zhang Yan said.
"She wasn't really opposed to it in the first place; she was just looking for a solution. Once she found one, there was no need to question it anymore."
After gazing at the stars for a moment, he realized that what he said made sense.
I didn't ask any more questions.
The residence assigned to Guixu is in the middle-level area.
The room was small and minimally furnished.
There was only one bed and one worktable.
The wall material and the door network share the same origin in the spherical space.
Zhang Yan sat at the worktable.
Organize all the information from the day and compress it into a communication package.
Send it into the quantum entanglement channel.
He knew that Nie Qingcheng wouldn't receive it for twelve hours.
He didn't rest immediately after sending the message.
Take the metal box out of your pocket and place it on the table.
Turn on the holographic projection function.
The photos and short videos projected on the screen are sorted by time.
The last paragraph was taken on the balcony the night before departure.
It lasted for several tens of seconds, and the lighting was warm and inviting.
She leaned on his shoulder as she spoke.
He couldn't remember what she said at the time.
All I remember is that the wisps of hair at her temples were blown by the night wind and then gently fell back down.
He sat for a long time in the cold metal room of Guixu.
At two o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.
It's stargazing.
She stood at the door, holding a data tablet in her hand.
His complexion was much paler than usual.
It was the state of someone who had worked all night, showing no signs of being startled.
His eyes were incredibly bright.
It was the unique radiance she displayed when she discovered a crucial clue.
"I found a document in the deep database of Guixu," she said.
"It was sealed and stored, with the highest level of encryption at Guixu, and it has been sealed for 30,000 years."
Zhang Yan didn't move, waiting for her to continue.
Guan Xing flipped the data tablet over and showed him the title.
Distribution Map of Community Matrix, Consciousness Core, and Non-Renewable Nodes
Zhang Yan's Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart access allowed him to peel back the encryption layer in less than three seconds.
The document content is displayed on the workbench.
The two people stood on the same side and looked at it.
The content is short, but the information density is extremely high.
After scanning the first page, Guan Xing stopped, his fingertips hovering over the next page.
The community matrix is the collective consciousness, a fact that has long been established.
However, the contents of this document had never appeared in any other materials before.
Although the consciousness structure of the community matrix is distributed, it is not homogeneous.
There are seven non-renewable consciousness nodes inside.
It is the hub of the entire collaborative system of the community parent.
Based on the operational logic of the human nervous system, these nodes are equivalent to the language center and memory center in the brain.
Its functions are highly specialized and cannot be replaced by other nodes.
It is also unable to regenerate on its own.
Destroying a node permanently disables the corresponding function of the parent community.
When four or more are destroyed simultaneously, the collective consciousness enters an irreversible collapse.
The Tiangong Zhongshi's consciousness deconstruction function is designed to perfectly target this highly specialized node structure.
No need for violent purification, nor for energy shocks.
It follows the frequency matching approach, which is consistent with the logic of key unlocking.
Once located, disassemble directly, and then remove.
Turn to the last page of the stargazing app.
Display the coordinate distribution map of the nodes.
The structural diagram extracted by Zhang Yan from the outer consciousness scan records of the community was overlaid and compared.
The agreement rate is 91%.
"The final stage of the project will be completed within seventy days," Zhang Yan said.
"Just follow this diagram when you go in."
"The problem is getting in," said the stargazer.
"The required depth of consciousness penetration is twelve times deeper than last time. With the current synchronization rate of the Heavenly Craftsman's Heart, there is only one chance. After the attack, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we must retreat because our energy will be exhausted."
"I know," Zhang Yan said.
"If it fails."
Zhang Yan continued, speaking calmly and grounding his conclusion in concrete terms.
"The network is being held tightly."
He looked away and continued reading the documents.
"But it won't fail."
Before dawn, both Mo Ling and Mo Yuan received the document summary.
Mo Yuan urgently recalled the council of elders.
We held a one-hour technical meeting to discuss the contents of the document.
The technical team leader confirmed the coordinates of the seven nodes, confirming their theoretical positions within the consciousness structure diagram.
At the same time, the consciousness deconstruction layer of the ultimate creation was confirmed, and its design perfectly matches this operational logic.
After the meeting, Mo Ling walked over to Zhang Yan.
"Outer perimeter cover," she said.
"Let me go."
Zhang Yan looked at her.
"I'm not questioning you," she said before he could speak.
"I know the final battlefield is the level of consciousness, so I won't make any rash moves on the periphery. But when you enter the level of consciousness, there will inevitably be interference from the physical level. If you're alone in space without any backup plan, any external impact will disrupt the synchronization of consciousness."
She has a point.
"I'll consider it," Zhang Yan said.
"That means you're refusing."
"That means I'll consider it."
Mo Ling looked at him for three seconds, then took a step back.
There was no further argument.
Guan Xing remained silent throughout, only speaking after Mo Ling had walked away.
"Her logic is sound."
"I know," Zhang Yan said.
"Then why don't you agree?"
"Because there's still one thing I haven't figured out." Zhang Yan looked away from the documents.
"Has anyone noticed the creation time of this document?"
Guanxing tapped the tablet with his finger to bring up the file properties.
Creation time: 30,012 years ago.
Everyone present, including Zhang Yan, saw this number.
But no one raised any questions immediately.
Because the contents of the document were too important, this detail was temporarily overlooked.
Guan Xing stared at the number and scanned downwards.
Creator ID: Maintainer 01.
The first-generation holder of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
The stargazing finger stopped.
"Wait a minute." Her voice dropped a beat.
"The first generation of maintainers, according to all known records, perished when the Mohist civilization was destroyed 30,000 years ago."
"Yes," Zhang Yan said.
"The document was created twelve years after his death."
Zhang Yan remained silent.
Guan Xing slowly raised his head.
The analytical look that was usually in his eyes faded away.
There's a greater sense of uncertainty, shrouded in mist.
"A person who had already died created a document in the deep database of the Ruins of Return twelve years later," she said.
Zhang Yan went over those words in his mind.
The underground container in Shennongjia was opened without authorization 26 years ago.
49% genetic similarity.
Old notes from 1943.
A message left by the father.
The eyes of the Wind Spirit Beast in Broken Cloud Valley.
All the clues are connected into one line.
At this moment, everything points to the same problem that he has never directly addressed.
The gate network has been secretly maintained since it was built 30,000 years ago.
"This document," Guan Xing said softly.
"Who told you it was here?"
There was no one else in the Heavenly Crafts Hall except her and Zhang Yan.
Guan Xing stared at the creator ID.
I waited for a long time, so long that I thought he wouldn't answer.
"Nobody told me you found it," Zhang Yan said.
"Yes," said the stargazer.
"I discovered it because I searched for a keyword in the database."
She showed him the search history.
Keywords: The Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship - First Generation - Subsequent Records.
There are two conditions for triggering decryption during a search.
It also grants holders of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart privileges.
Furthermore, the searcher carries the maintainer's bloodline identification code.
"That is to say," she said.
"This document has been waiting for you to unlock it since it was created 30,000 years ago."
The screen of the data tablet was lit up in the silent Tiangong Hall.
The creator ID field.
The words "Maintainer 01" remained silently in place.
There was no further information or explanation.
