Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1388 538: The Third Plan! (Part 2)

"Boarding tickets?" KIKI propped her chin with both hands, pointing at the sky and sarcastically remarking, "We're not even sure if that veil can be opened, it's too early to talk about this now."

"Does it matter whether we talk about it or not?" Chen Sixuan said with an open-minded expression: "If we break through, we escape; if not, when the crimson covers us, we fight to the death. These are the only two choices, so what's to worry about?"

"Yeah, indeed."

Chen Sixuan looked towards the cosmic galaxy, the sky hanging above like black satin. She took a deep breath.

"For the first time, I feel that Blue Star is truly beautiful."

KIKI swung her legs, also gazing up at the sky: "Yeah, I haven't even had a good flight yet. I really hope we can fly out, go look into the depths of the universe; maybe we can find another planet."

Chen Sixuan smiled: "Yeah, he said he would take us soaring into the clouds. Our train truly flew into the sky. I feel... we've already lived again."

…

Beneath the ice layer, the greenhouse dome transformed into night, flowing with the glow of the galaxy.

Lin Xian sat alone on a bench by the lake, gazing at the sky.

He could hear the implication in Professor Ye's words, which was that besides breaking the Heavenly Veil, mankind had a second choice.

Lin Xian had thought about this before.

But he didn't know that Ye Lan's thoughts were even more brutal.

"This tool, or device, needs to learn and simulate our civilization's technology and create anew. To some extent, it can both preserve human civilization and rebuild it."

"The simulated ecological environment here is beautiful, perhaps you could try to scan it..."

The Black Star Forge, which life cannot pass through, is linked to Lin Xian's heart.

He cannot take anyone with him.

But he can take himself, transmigrate himself as a mechanical non-living entity to the mechanical celestial body, with all the mechanical blueprints of human civilization scanned by the Mechanical Heart, with traces of those civilizations' existence, with the frozen embryo of civilization, leave Blue Star, escape the Heavenly Veil, and wander alone to the Far Star.

Just like Professor Ye said.

He can build a human civilization.

This is the ultimate answer that high-dimensional humans gave to the humans of Blue Star.

The Mechanical Heart is not meant to defeat the High Tower Civilization, but to scan all human technology, completing adaptive development and creation...

The spark of civilization.

One of creation, one of thought.

He finally understood that the key to the consciousness ascent upheld by the Deep Red World from the beginning was always his Mechanical Heart.

Only Lin Xian can take these life consciousnesses away from the Heavenly Veil.

And at this moment, the tens of millions of humans in Kunlun City are unaware that the fate of Blue Star will be... no one survives.

…

Under the tree by the lake, the spider casually brushed off by Lin Xian began to rebuild its web. It pulled out a shimmering thread under the grass leaf, then kept lowering itself, fastening the other end, climbing up again, looking for another angle, repeating several times until the framework of a web was drawn out.

Lin Xian flicked his fingers, destroying its web thread, but the spider wasn't angry and continued building its web.

Every time the web was destroyed, it would rebuild it a thousand times; the process brought it no disgust, despair, or joy, as if in its short life, it was always this way, a year like this, a hundred million years also this way.

Lin Xian sat for a while, then stood up and walked along the lakeside, continuously pondering a question in his mind.

That is, why do high-dimensional humans behind the Mechanical Heart want to save Blue Star and destroy it at the same time.

This question he couldn't understand for a long time.

Just like he couldn't understand the tone of 'do not resist'.

Thinking of it now, he suddenly felt a sense of helplessness at following orders and facing death. At this moment, helplessness, anger, and confusion were all indescribable emotions mixed together.

Yet the civilization behind those words seemed to not care, like Lin Xian breaking the spider's web, having no concern or interest in why the web should be broken, much less the spider's survival.

After walking for a while, Lin Xian felt a suffocating pressure.

Not out of fatigue, but because that emotion of despair made him feel like his throat was being clenched tightly, he finally understood why everyone who came to talk with him was isolated and imprisoned.

The greenhouse created beneath this ice layer was Lin Xian's final dwelling, also Ye Lan and the Phoenix Society's final goodwill toward him.

They are waiting for Lin Xian to leave safely, taking the final spark and disappearing into this space.

But Lin Xian couldn't do it; the thought of it almost suffocated him. How could he bear to leave so many behind?

Teacher Chen, KIKI, Da Lou, Sha Sha, Shu Qin, Director Ding, Xiao Yuan, Shi Deyuan, Jiang Yun, Monica, Qian Deli…

Those countless people who perished...

Lin Xian grasped at his chest, kneeling on the grass, gasping for air.

"Even the Mechanical Heart can have a heart attack..."

Gasp, gasp...

He took several deep breaths, the fragrance of grass mixed with a unique earthy scent in the woods around, making him feel an intense sense of familiarity.

Lin Xian reached out, picked up a handful of soil, looked at it, then set it down.

At this moment, he recalled Professor Ye's words and operated the Mechanical Heart, scanning down the grass.

Tens of meters deep, soon enough, he scanned a metallic foundation, and as the Mechanical Scan unfolded, a giant mechanical foundation structure several times larger than the sky device in Qingshui Town began to come into view.

Sensing this, Lin Xian was amazed by Kehua Heavy Industry's manufacturing capability, having constructed such a large natural greenhouse beneath the glacier.

Unbeknownst to him, as his scanning gradually started covering the whole area, Lin Xian suddenly discovered that above the sky there was a giant vortex mechanical gate, seemingly able to be opened.

His heart stirred, and he immediately used the massive drive force of his Level 8 Mechanical Heart to expand the scanning scope, heading towards the upper regions.

As Lin Xian continued scanning, his expression gradually became more solemn.

Above him was layer upon layer of enormous nuclear power module storerooms. Thousands of engineers and countless workers were busily manufacturing, but what surprised Lin Xian was not the manufacture of these nuclear power modules but that they were all being made in enclosed underground chambers, tightly stacked layer upon layer.

He was very curious because the entire Kunlun City didn't need that much electric power, and these nuclear power devices were the largest power land-based modules, indicating they weren't meant for starship use.

Furrowing his brow, Lin Xian mumbled, "Why did the Phoenix Society make so many nuclear power devices? Instead of this resource, why not build thermonuclear weapons?"

"No, thermonuclear weapon dark energy conversion didn't succeed, then making so much, what's it used for, is this pure waste..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xian's face suddenly changed.

"The simulated ecological environment here is beautiful, perhaps you could try to scan it..."

Unless, this was deliberately shown to him by Professor Ye.

Lin Xian suddenly understood something, touching his chest.

"Besides escaping, it's not confirmed that the Mechanical Heart can't solve other problems either."

Lin Xian closed his eyes, consciousness suddenly charging outside the mechanical celestial body of the Black Star Forge.

On the vast dark red planet, material tides were captured by a powerful gravitational pull forming a torrent with a diameter of over several kilometers, being swallowed by the black mechanical celestial body, dust floating around the gravitational field like a grey ring hanging on the planetary orbit.

Lin Xian sat on a deck above the celestial body's devouring mouth, a minute speck of dust himself, watching this breathtaking grandeur capable of swallowing stars and destroying planets, lost in thought.

"Turns out when I told Professor Ye that I wanted to use the resources of Kunlun City to raise the Mechanical Heart to Level 9, she always remembered."

"Even if we can't break the Heavenly Veil, I don't want to escape alone, maybe... we still have"

He turned back, looking into the mechanical celestial body, at the monumental metal framework like a giant of creation, his expression firm.

"A third plan!"
