Chapter 1403: Edge of Collapse: Silence (Part 2)

January 5, 0:21

"The data has been checked, and we are starting to dismantle it!"

Noah said, and the 10 members of the 10th department around him began to move, placing light and shadow material storage devices around the fireworks. There were bursts of noise from time to time. Noah was leading some mutants from the 10th department to clean up some creatures nearby. If they were not cleaned up for a period of time, these things would start to gather again.

The hull of the fireworks had been eaten to varying degrees. After investigating the bodies of these creatures, no part of the spacecraft was found to have been eaten, which made Noah feel very strange.

The navigation data of the fireworks spacecraft had been checked, and there was nothing special about it. The flight orbit was basically flying around the earth, and no exit was found.

All the data of the fireworks were normal, and ai3 had recorded everything in detail. Now they just needed to dismantle the fireworks and take them back. A faint yellow light flashed, and Noah ran over breathlessly.

"Really? I haven't been out for a long time. There are many strange things here. But we had a lot of fun. Hurry up and pack up. Let's go back and have a good drink."

Noah shook his head.

"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to go somewhere."

Noah said as he walked towards a small take-off and landing machine. Many people from Section 10 looked at Noah suspiciously. Noah raised his hand and waved.

"Have fun."

"I'm not going to play, Noah! Don't let anything go wrong."

Noah said as he sat in the take-off and landing machine. Soon the take-off and landing machine took off. Then, accompanied by a red halo, the take-off and landing machine quickly flew towards the Brilliant City.

Noah looked at the light ball in front of him quietly. He was a little worried about Alpha. No matter when and where, Noah would think about how to help her every time, but Noah was clear about the result every time. There was no way to help Alpha directly in many things, because Noah couldn't give Alpha what she wanted.

Noah knows the current situation in the city better than anyone else. As the head of Section 10, Noah knows clearly what kind of era the city will enter next.

Although Anna's experiment failed, the mechanization era is necessary. The gods are currently selecting areas and plan to start large-scale experiments on anthropomorphic AI robots after the city continues to develop steadily for a few years.

If humans want to accept mechanization, they need a medium, or an object that is convincing enough for everyone to appear. This object is anthropomorphic AI robots.

In the large-scale collective brain wave collection experiment of prisoners in Section 11 prison, a lot of specific data has been obtained. The gods want to open the robot service experiment in a certain block first.

The next step is to effectively control the population. More stringent birth restrictions will come. Every time Noah thinks of these issues, he feels that this is an inevitable result.

Noah also agrees with this approach. The gods have already drawn up plans for the next era, and reducing the population is inevitable.

If we only need to restrict births, many people will grow old in another 20 or 30 years, and the robot service industry should reach an unprecedented height. By then, the population of the city will be below 20 million, and the existing population is enough to support the entire society into the mechanized era.

The gods' next step of stricter population restrictions will be implemented in 2226, that is, one year later, it will only take 10 years to limit population growth, and the population will drop below 20 million. After that, after gradual strict control, the era of robot service industry will come.

Most people with limited mobility or those who need human care can be taken care of by robots, so that a large amount of experimental data can be obtained. Then, when humans develop to a certain level, mechanized medical care will be gradually implemented.

The research on type II life vaccine has never stopped, and useful people in the city will first undergo mechanized surgery and be injected with type II life vaccine, so that they can live longer.

When the city needs population, embryos with good gene matching that have been stored in the gene bank can begin to grow. They will be brand new humans. With the assistance of AI robots, they will change the social structure well and continue the fire of mankind.

Only the six gods, Noah and Noah knew about all these top-secret plans. Although Gene was aware of it, he said nothing.

Noah had thought about it for countless days and nights. This approach was too cruel for humans, but the survival of the fittest. Humans wanted to survive better, but it was impossible for humans today. Only humans in the next era could do it. Completely abandoning classes, everyone would be in the right position, and human society would completely become a rigorous, precise and efficient machine.

All this had been decided long ago, so the gods needed stability, and stability was too cruel for people at the bottom. Noah knew very well what Alpha wanted to do. Alpha had told Noah a long time ago that the bottom didn't need to follow the fast pace of the middle and upper classes. Each class should have its own pace.

It is not completely fair, but it needs relative fairness. People at the bottom can build the society they need according to their own needs. It only needs to connect different societies. In this way, no matter which society it is, there will be a part of integration. Although there will be classes in this society, the friction between different classes will be relatively small, or even disappear.

Because there are three societies with different needs, as long as they can meet the needs of people in each society, all this is what Alpha once said. The unity of the class will eventually lead to the solidification of the class, and the people at the bottom of the class will have to bear the most after the solidification.

When Alpha was still in the Academy of Gods, he told Noah about this idea. Noah still clearly remembered that when Alpha said this, he was as excited as a child. However, if all this is to be realized, it must compete with the era set by the gods, but this is obviously impossible.

The gods will not let Alpha continue like this. Noah is about to return to the Brilliant City. Looking at the light of the city, Noah felt a little cold in his heart. He didn't know how to tell Alpha later. Alpha should still be in the General Affairs Department now.

As the light became brighter and brighter, Noah quickly sent an identification signal. The helicopter quickly passed over the ravine and entered the Brilliant City. Most of the places on the ground floor were brightly lit, which was not seen in the past.

After Noah set it to automatic driving, he called up a light and shadow screen and soon saw the order issued by the gods to remove Alpha from his position. This order has not been withdrawn yet, and Noah couldn't help but worry.

Noah looked at the news all day today. Most of the reports in the city praised Alpha's actions today, but most of the people who praised Alpha did not know Alpha's current situation.

Noah directly dialed Gary Locke's number.

"Is Alpha still in the General Affairs Department, Fatty?"

"Yes, she is working alone in the section chief's meeting room."

Noah smiled and said thank you and hung up the phone. The helicopter began to accelerate and fly towards the General Affairs Department.

0:59

The helicopter landed on the rooftop of the General Affairs Department. Noah got off the helicopter directly, walked downstairs quickly, and soon came to the door of the section chief's meeting room. He looked at a director standing at the door.

"You should go and have a rest first."

"Lord Noah, do you need a midnight snack? I'll ask the chef downstairs to prepare it for you."

Noah nodded, then quickly said something and asked the director to bring some good wine up.

Noah then used his authority to open the door of the section chief's meeting room. As soon as he opened the door, Noah smelled a strong smell of smoke. The whole room was filled with smoke. Alpha sat quietly in the position of the section chief of Section 5, still processing documents.

"Why are you back?"

Noah walked over and hummed, and sat next to Alpha. He did not speak. Alpha was urgently dealing with some public security issues that happened tonight.

Noah just watched quietly from the side. Alpha took out another cigarette. Noah reached out and took the cigarette from Alpha's mouth.

"Smoke less, take a break and have a drink, then we'll continue."

Alpha shook his head, took back the cigarette and lit it up, and continued to deal with it. Time passed by minute by minute. At 1:38 in the morning, the door of the conference room was opened, and a director pushed a cart of food up.

Soon, a large portion of dishes were served, and there was also a box of wine. Alpha swallowed a mouthful. All the dishes were her favorite.

"You still remember it very clearly."

Noah smiled and nodded.

"Of course, how could I forget, after all, this is your favorite food."

Alpha smiled, extinguished the cigarette butt, and temporarily turned off the light and shadow screen. She looked extremely tired. Noah took out the wine and poured Alpha a glass.

"I don't want to talk about other things, Noah."

Noah hummed.

"I'll accompany you, no matter what time it is, until you want to go to bed."

Alpha smiled and unscrewed a bottle of wine and drank it directly.

Noah didn't plan to say anything to Alpha. Now he could only accompany Alpha quietly.

"Time flies really fast."

Noah said, Alpha smiled and shook his head.

"Why don't you just get married earlier?"

Alpha said, Noah was a little surprised, but soon he shook his head and took a sip of wine.

"We'll get married when you solve the problem. What do you think? I won't continue. Everything will be handed over to Noah."

Alpha laughed and shook his head.

"You are really stupid."

Noah shook his head.

"I'm not stupid Alpha. Just like before, we can meet occasionally from time to time. As long as we know each other, there are still many days to come."

Alpha nodded and leaned over comfortably.

1:38 am

"What should I do?"

Locke was a little drunk holding a wine glass. Gene was sitting on the sofa opposite, eating half of the dishes on the table. At this time, Locke was very upset. Many things had completely changed and became unusually strange.

Locke was in agony. In the past few years, every time he saw his former classmates becoming strangers, he felt sad.

"Can you think of a solution, Gene?"

As Locke said this, Gene lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and shook his head.

"If you feel really bad, drink more."

Gene stood up from the sofa, walked to Locke, filled his glass, and Locke drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp and lay on the table.

"If you are tired, go to bed early, you still have to work tomorrow."

"In the end, it was you, the bastard, who made me come up."

Gene smiled and nodded. Locke was already drunk and was still mumbling something. Gene just accompanied him silently, without saying anything or giving any advice, because Gene himself had no choice.

Gene felt that everything had changed after he came back, but it was just his illusion. In fact, Gene had discovered in the past few years that the problems of the Action Department were much more serious than he thought, and he could not solve them. Although he would go to the students for a drink from time to time, most of the students had indeed changed.

This transformation is not personal, but collective. Because of the various problems in the city, many people are running around. Once people start running around, they will not be able to see the things around them clearly. Everyone is very tired. This is the feeling that Gene gave Gene when he drank with every student.

Alpha's problem is that Gene never knows how to continue to guide her, or Gene can no longer teach Alpha. Now Alpha has her own way, but this way has a violent conflict with the city.

A snoring sound sounded, and Gene looked at the sleeping Locke. At this time, the door of the lounge opened, and Yu Wanrou came out with a sleepy face.

"Principal, is he finally asleep? He hasn't been talking about something like this for a long time. He looks really tired."

Gene nodded, Yu Wanrou looked at the dishes on the table, walked over, and started eating.

"Let's have a drink, Principal."

Gene walked over, sat down, and Yu Wanrou looked at Locke who was drunk on the table with heartache.

"He really wants to help everyone, but..."

"I know Wanrou, this matter can only be left like this for the time being."

Yu Wanrou took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"Principal, I don't think this problem is a big problem. As long as everyone can sit down and talk, I think..."

Yu Wanrou shook her head halfway through her words.

"Everyone doesn't want to sit down and talk."

Gene took a deep breath.

But soon Yu Wanrou stood up and shook his head.

"But I don't think there will be any big problems. He is much stronger than I thought, or he is already very thick-skinned."

Yu Wanrou said, drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then after eating a little, she walked over and lifted up the sleeping Gary Locke, intending to take him into the lounge.

"Good night, Principal!"

Gene smiled and nodded, and then after cleaning up, he turned off the lights in Gary Locke's private lounge. He walked towards the section chief's meeting room step by step, but when he just arrived at the door, he heard the sound of laughter inside, and Gene smiled.

"Perhaps silence is better at this time."

Gene did not intend to say anything to Alpha. He turned to the window and looked at the shining city in front of him.

"Where should we go?"

Gene looked up. At this moment, Gene did not know who to find to continue drinking, because Gene had no way out. He did not even have the slightest idea.

When the problem was exposed, it was so serious that there was no way to solve it. Gene came to the empty General Affairs Square and walked towards the stairs step by step.

Suddenly, Gene seemed to think of something. He ran quickly and soon jumped onto the roof with light blue particles. Gene looked at the dark edge in the distance.

"I haven't seen that couple for a long time. Maybe it's better to go and have a drink with them."

2:09 am

Qin Xiaoxuan supported Jill, who was already drunk. He looked very uncomfortable, not because of drunkenness, but because of his inner heart. Although Qin Xiaoxuan did not know what happened to Jill yesterday, it was certain that he might have made some extremely difficult decisions.

"You've been getting heavier lately."

Jill looked up slightly, with a trace of sadness in her red eyes.

"We're almost at the dormitory."

Qin Xiaoxuan said, looking at the dormitory a few steps away, she smiled helplessly. After entering the dormitory, Qin Xiaoxuan just let go of Jill's hand and Jill ran to the bathroom and vomited. Jill and other directors drank a lot tonight, and everyone looked unhappy.

"Are you okay?"

Qin Xiaoxuan walked in and saw that Jill seemed to be better. She helped Jill up and came to the small living room. After letting Jill sit down, Qin Xiaoxuan went to the bathroom, got a hot towel, and carefully wiped Jill's cheek.

Although Qin Xiaoxuan drank a lot, she was not as fierce as Jill. She looked at Jill at this time, extremely fragile. There was a reason why everyone was sad, because everyone felt uncomfortable because of Alpha's matter.

Although Qin Xiaoxuan did not support the actions of other directors, she also did not support Alpha's excessive actions.

Jill was always caught between his classmates, and he felt very uncomfortable. Jill had talked about this with Qin Xiaoxuan many times.

"Put out your hand, I'll help you wipe it, it smells like alcohol."

Qin Xiaoxuan said, taking Jill's hand and rubbing it. At this moment, Jill opened her eyes and suddenly hugged Qin Xiaoxuan. Qin Xiaoxuan was a little surprised, but immediately smiled softly and patted Jill's back gently.

"It's okay, it will pass. I think it will be good if we sit down with the president and have a drink one day. There is nothing that cannot be explained."

Jill shook her head.

"No! Sorry."

Gill let go of Qin Xiaoxuan and looked at each other for a moment. Qin Xiaoxuan's cheeks were slightly red, and Gill panted violently. Suddenly, Gill came over and kissed Qin Xiaoxuan, and the two hugged each other.

Qin Xiaoxuan stared at the ceiling quietly. At this time, she was happy in her heart, but at the same time she was bitter. Maybe tonight would just be an accident. It was not that Jill had figured out something, not that she had figured out something.

A faint red particle drifted past, and the lights in the living room went out.

There were many pedestrians coming and going on the streets at night, and many people in Section 5 looked very tired. It was already 2:31 in the morning, and most of the lively streets in the city were still bustling.

On the second floor of a small shop, Huashen was holding a glass of wine. Akimi and R were both a little drunk in front of him. Huashen never nodded in agreement, or said that he didn't intend to care about these things anymore.

"No one thought it would turn out like this."

r said with a helpless smile.

"Actually, I have felt a long time ago that Alpha may become a factor affecting the instability of the city in the future."

Akimi nodded, but Huashen shook his head.

"That's because you have all abandoned your past selves and chosen to accept your current selves."

Hua Shen was a little excited, and his hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly.

"My past self!"

The day of the accidental robbery by three people and the night after came to r's mind, and he shook his head.

"Everything has changed."

Akimi nodded.

"In the past, you showed us what a doctor should be like, but we couldn't be as talented as you."

Huashen choked with sobs. He was in a terrible mood. He had never been so bad.

"I'm going to go back to sleep. I have some important surgeries tomorrow."

"Do you still want to continue escaping from yourself during the operation?"

Akimi asked, and Huashen stood up with a bitter smile.

"maybe!"

Huashen left the room, and Akimi wiped away the tears and patted him on the back.

"We can never go back, we can never go back to that academy."

Akimi snorted, and a tear fell on the table.

Hua Shen staggered through the streets. He was probably aware of the current situation. It was because he was so clear and his head was so clear that he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Maybe it would be better to spend more time on the next generation!"

Hua Shen said and smiled helplessly. The reason why Hua Shen took over the position of dean of the medical school hosted by Department 4 was because Jean came to see him. He owed Jean a lot, although he didn't know what Jean was doing. What is the meaning of the next generation, but Huashen plans to listen to Gene and spend more time on the next generation.

"This may be the best way!"

3:09 am

"Cousin, are you okay?"

Su Xin looked at Su Li, who was already drunk, playing poker with her husband Lewen.

"It's okay, just order some wine."

Lewen laughed and shook his head.

"I lost again."

Su Xin curled her lips and leaned over.

"Cousin, I think it's better for you to go back as soon as possible. Besides, cousin, I think it's almost time for you to get married."

As soon as Su Xin finished speaking, Su Li shook her head and hugged Su Xin.

"I have already considered that I will never get married, and I don't want to give birth to a child for any man."

"Cousin, the heir to the Su family should have been chosen."

Le Wen asked, this is an extremely serious problem for the family, and Su Li stood up with a giggle.

"Everyone in the Su family who is qualified to inherit, I am already desperate."

Su Xin immediately slapped Le Wen on the back. Le Wen apologized hastily. Su Li stood up with a smile and looked around. It was the same no matter when she came here. The couple were still as idiotic as before, but it was very comfortable here. .

"By the way, that's good. If you two give birth to a child, I will designate your child as the heir of the Su family, haha."

Su Xin immediately frowned and looked at Su Li, who was staggering towards the door. Just as Su Xin was about to help Su Li, she pushed Su Xin away.

"Hurry up and have a child, otherwise the Su family will be extinct."

"Cousin, stop joking."

Su Xin shouted and Le Wen nodded. Su Li staggered to the door. After opening the door, the smile on her expression disappeared.

"I was serious!"

Su Li waved back as she spoke, and the couple behind her started talking and laughing. They still regarded what Su Li said as a joke, and Su Li also understood that this might just be a joke.

The bodyguards at the door all left. Su Li was a little suspicious, but her eyes widened the next second.

"I'm surprised to come here, Miss Su Li."

Gene stood aside with a smile, and Su Li also looked at Gene in surprise.

"That's why you came here, Mr. Jean."

Gene held up the cigarette in his hand and pointed to the house.

"I'm here to hear the laughter."

Su Li laughed.

"What a coincidence, so am I. Let's come here for a drink next time. It's too late tonight, so I won't drink with you. Mr. Jean, where have you disappeared to recently?"

Gene smiled and walked in with the things in his hands. Only then did Suli see that the bodyguards were far away. After she walked over, the bodyguards immediately came over.

"Mr. Jean, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Su Xin's exclamation came from the room, but Su Xin ran out soon.

"Cousin, I'll take you there."

Su Li hummed and held Su Xin's hand.

"I meant what I just said."

Su Xin smiled and shook her head.

"We are serious cousins. Le Wen and I live very happily here, every day. We don't have any big pursuits. As long as we can fill our stomachs and live happily every day, that's it."

"I guess so."

After arriving at the entrance of the alley, Su Li nodded, Su Xin waved her hand, and Su Li left surrounded by bodyguards.

Su Xin quickly ran back to the house and looked at Jean, who was already sitting in the living room of his home, drinking with Le Wen.

"Mr. Jean, you don't have to bring something every time you come."

Su Xin smiled and leaned over, and Gene nodded.

Lewen was already a little drunk, and Gene spoke at this time.

"What do you think of the city now?"

Su Xin thought for a while and immediately said in unison with Le Wen.

"Not bad!"

Jean was a little surprised when Su Xin started to talk. Jean listened carefully. Many of the things he said were small things, but all of them had a lot to do with Alpha's tough measures.

"It's obviously a very simple thing, but why can't many people do it?"

Jean muttered, and the couple were still chattering. Jean looked at the couple seriously, wanting to hear them tell everything about this city.
