Chapter 1495 Difficult to Choose

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    How long does a person need to be mentally prepared before he can choose to regard hundreds of millions of lives as a "price" to pay for the cost of civilization's survival?

    Gawain feels that the answer is probably "permanent" - no one can be mentally prepared for this, and no one can treat this as a mathematical problem with peace of mind. This is something that can never become "natural".  The scale of the Vault City Group will determine that more than half of the world's population will be blocked from the barrier and face the impact of the demonic tide, and those survivors who come out of the Vault will take at least one generation to slowly understand  And remember the price.

    But if there is no choice, this bad option will still become an implementable plan, whether it is himself, Rosetta Augustus, Belsetia and the two dragon leaders, everyone here  Everyone knows one thing - most difficult decisions in this world are not made with "peace of mind".

    You may not be happy, but you must not choose. As Veronica once told Gawain, the appearance of every victim means the incompetence of the decision-maker - but the decision-maker will still continue to make decisions and sacrifice  It will also always accompany the process of civilization development.

    It was under this circumstance that the Typhonians gave their solution, and Gawain believed that Rosetta Augustus fully understood the significance of this solution.

    But this should not be the only solution.

    "The shelter city cluster plan circumvents the engineering problems of the planetary barrier, but the price is that its protection scale is limited and there will be shocking sacrifices." Gawain lightly knocked on the table, "And I still have a question about this  We all know that the basis for generating non-directional trends of thought is neural networks. We need a large number of 'computing nodes' to be densely integrated into the network, and these computing nodes are all people Where do you plan to place such a large number of 'nodes' then?  ? Should we focus on building specialized 'node shelters' and use several cities to serve as 'sources', or should we distribute these computing nodes in various shelter cities?" At this time 7 5z hong w en.com Zhang Si

    Having said this, he paused and began to explain his problem: "If we focus on building a 'node shelter', we can maximize the efficiency of network operation and maintain a sufficiently strong unified mental field with as few nodes as possible. However, it is relatively  Correspondingly, we have to consider the security and daily operation of the 'node shelter'. Since most people in the entire city need to access the network to maintain a unified mental field, we have to leave dedicated and absolutely reliable personnel in the real space.  Maintain the survival of these networked nodes while protecting the security of the entire city.

    ¡°Considering the high concentration of computing nodes, in this case, once there is a problem with one or two node shelters, the ¡®strength¡¯ of the unified mental field may be greatly reduced, or even completely penetrated by the demonic tide.

    ¡°And if computing nodes are distributed in various cities, it can effectively reduce the risk of barrier breakdown caused by a large number of nodes going offline at the same time. When the computing power is evenly distributed, even if there is a problem in several shelters or in the wilderness,  If some of the lines are interrupted, it will not affect the shelter groups around the world. Moreover, because of the abundant nodes and high security, those who serve as computing nodes can also take turns to rest. However, the shortcomings of this are also obvious-it is distributed in  Computing centers in each city will incur higher costs than 'node shelters'. At the same time, because each city must have a complete set of node facilities, this reduces the 'capacity' of each shelter in disguise, causing more people to lose  Chances of survival.¡±

    "We have indeed considered these two different situations," Windsor Mapel glanced at Gawain in surprise, as if he did not expect that the other party could fully understand the structure of the Sanctuary City Group in such a short period of time.  , and directly considered its two implementation options, and she considered it so deeply, but she quickly adjusted her expression and answered with a very serious attitude, "Currently we are leaning towards the second option, which is to  The computing nodes are allocated in each shelter city, and a complete set of supporting systems is built in each city.  32&#35835&#29306

    "We know that this will reduce the 'capacity' of a single shelter, but this is to maximize the safety of all shelters around the world. Because once the magic wave starts, each shelter will be closed, except for communication based on neural networks.  Outside, there will be no flow of people or materials between cities No one can cross the unobstructed wilderness to repair the failed node shelter, so the only way is not to have a node shelter."

    After Windsor Mapel's words fell, the figures around the round table also fell into thinking at the same time. This was such a cold and realistic plan that even the leaders of the most powerful country in the world had no idea.  It takes every effort to do it? market cluster, but its ability to resist risks is actually lower.

    ¡°In our plan, the entire shelter relies on a large and complex sentry tower-blocking wall system. Considering the actual limitations in technology and production capacity, as well as the urgency of the demonic tide, it is almost impossible for us to create  Producing more sentry towers or blocking wall nodes to act as 'redundant components', and completing the 'refuge transformation' of Gondor Wasteland within one and a half years is already the limit.

    "Therefore, the entire system after the launch of the Gondor Sanctuary is equivalent to operating at a critical point. Every sentry tower and every blocking wall node is extremely critical and cannot afford losses Perhaps the blocking wall is still in a state of flux.  Better yet, we should still be able to squeeze out some production capacity to build backup components, but there is definitely no excess for the Sentinel Tower"

    "In other words, during the six months to one year that the demonic tide lasts, there can't be any problems with the sentinel towers supporting the barrier," Rosetta said in a low voice, "Even if one of the towers goes down, the shelter will be destroyed" Zhi Da  75zhongwen.com Zhixiao

    "That's true," Villania nodded lightly. "Compared with the shelter city cluster, the disaster tolerance of the Gondor shelter plan is almost zero. Its advantages and disadvantages are obvious - our plan can protect everyone.  Maybe more people, but at the cost of doubling the risk.¡±

    "The risks of this plan are indeed very high," Gawain also said at this time, "And I think the biggest risk comes from those sentinel towers Let me be more straightforward. We all know the situation of those sentinel towers.  To describe it as 'in disrepair' is the most euphemistic way of saying it. In addition, in previous wars, several Sentinel Towers were completely destroyed by the Wasteland Legion's attacks. With the current capabilities of the Silver Empire, it can really be 'rebuilt'  Are these towers? Are there any remaining towers that need to be 'repaired'? After they are repaired, will they be able to return to their former glory?"

    Gawain's words were very direct, but Villania did not show any dissatisfaction with this. She just responded calmly: "It must be admitted that the Silver Elves no longer have the ability to restore the Sentinel Tower to its full glory and 'rebuild' those that were destroyed.  The tower is actually an overhaul of the wreckage, plus some modern alternative technologies to restore it to operation. These repair and reconstruction methods are not reliable, but considering that the duration of the magic tide itself is not long, these unreliable repairs  Tinkering becomes 'reliable'."
