"You can begin reporting on the final results of the Somnium Project, Ms. Monote."

Putting down the overly detailed research report in his hand, Yang Tianyi turned to look at the current number two figure in the group's scientific research department, Dominic Monote, the former director of the R&D department of Armadana Corporation.

In addition to the tailor-made senior scientific officer uniform, the other party also had a row of medals specially designed for female employees on his chest. These medals may seem small and exquisite, but in fact each one proves her outstanding contribution to the group. An ordinary researcher can obtain any one of them and it will be enough for a lifetime.

However, Dominic, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, has never used this to seize power in the scientific research department and tries to replace the position of the head Armand Hopkins. This is one of the reasons why Yang Tianyi trusts her so much.

It is worth noting that the place where the two of them are now is not the earth in the world of Elysium, but the group's largest advanced base on the moon, an integrated industrial city code-named "Guanghan Palace".

In the dense building complex shrouded by a giant dome, there are not only hundreds of thousands of Z-1 robots serving as high-quality labor urgently needed by various industries, but also tens of thousands of group employees and an equal number of immigrants from the earth living there, enjoying the benefits of science and technology. Come to a better life.

In CEO Haaland's plan, the former serves the latter, which is the cornerstone of the colony's growth. Taking into account the increasing number of Earth immigrants in the "Guanghan Palace" every day, he estimated that there will be more than 10 million humans living on the moon in two years, which can basically meet the population needs of the colony's future development.

As for why Monote chose the moon as her scientific research base instead of the earth, which has more complete facilities, firstly, it was to avoid suspicion and use practical actions to prove that she had no intention to participate in the power struggle within the group; secondly, it was because the low gravity environment was more In line with the requirements of some scientific experiments, she has no reason to waste the unique environment on the moon.

After hearing Yang Tianyi's request, Monote quickly sorted out the most noteworthy points in the lengthy report, and then slowly said: "Dr. Saaria's efforts in the last moments of her life were not in vain. The Second Fleet is here." The pocket sleep device discovered by Dawn Sentinel has practical value. However, the details need to be fine-tuned, otherwise it will easily cause the user to hallucinate."

"Your forward-looking suggestions on developing the function of the sleep device have been confirmed by the team. Although I don't know how you learned this key information, I have to say that your suggestions have really saved me and the team a lot of trouble. This detour has greatly accelerated the work of cracking the dream device and the enhanced learning program."

Yang Tianyi smiled slightly when he heard this, secretly thinking that the information he learned from the game before traveling through time would actually come in handy one day.

But this naturally couldn't be his answer, so Yang Tianyi shook his head pretending to be profound, saying that it was very involved and it was better not to know.

To this answer that was not an answer, Monote just nodded. As one of the few people in the group who knows the secrets of the multiverse, she is just more in awe of her boss than others. Since the other party doesn't want to say it, of course I won't force it.

After turning on the projection equipment, Monote raised her hand and pointed at the dream device that exuded a faint blue light in the holographic image. After sighing, her originally calm tone was filled with a little regret.

"Dr. Saaria's achievements are undoubtedly great. After interpreting all the memory spheres left by the Enlightenment Church on Corbin 4, we found that it was she who played an absolute leadership role in the development of the Dream Device. But in A few years after the technical difficulties were overcome by Dawn Sentinel, she secretly erased everything about the Dream Device from her memory."

Hearing a hint of doubt from Monote's regretful tone, Yang Tianyi shook his head and expressed his guess.

Perhaps Dr. Zaaria's wisdom is far beyond ordinary people, but her equally strong desire for power blinded her eyes. As a transcendent learning technology that allows countless people to master a large amount of knowledge overnight, once the Dream Sleep Device is popularized, it will be impossible for the Qiming Church to restrain its development, and even the foundation of the church will be shaken.

If every civilian in the Corbin civilization became a profound scholar, who would believe in an enlightened church that appeared out of thin air?

In order to prevent the religious empire she had worked so hard to build from collapsing in an instant, Zaaria chose to divest. Not only did she divest herself of the Dream Instrument and the Confession Chair, she also stripped Dawn Sentinel and Corbin IV.

Perhaps in the eyes of this pretentious envoy at that time, as long as the two were out of contact, there was no danger.

It was not until later that the management of Dawn Outpost blatantly tampered with the teachings and used the dream device to mass-produce people who were detrimental to the Church of Enlightenment. Only then did Saaria understand that the pinnacle of power is lonely, and there is only room for the throne of the divine envoy. one person.

And that person can only be yourself.

After making the decision, Saaria quickly destroyed the normal operation of the dream machine through her dead soldiers at Dawn Sentinel, and deleted all the memories of all residents in the space city, including their survival skills. After doing this, she still felt uneasy. She finally shut down the space city's life support system, allowing tens of thousands of Corbins to turn into bones and mummies in the cold and hunger.

I don't know if she was tortured by the souls seeking death in her sleep. Zaaria did not hesitate to extract a large amount of her memories about Dawn Sentinel and the Dream Device, which directly caused her mental state to decline significantly, and in the end it was said to be broken.

In the scarlet field of vision, Zaaria stabbed to death the church leaders who were loyal to her, and ordered a large number of Skitarii to die with the enemy before boarding a private spaceship to escape to the solar system, completely removing her original hypocritical mask of gentleness and charity. , destroying the last glimmer of life of Corbin civilization in madness.

After arriving at "Aix-Beleng" in the orbit of Uranus, Saaria wore a heavy space suit and walked among countless shriveled and dehydrated corpses of his own race, his eyes full of confusion and fear.

In her memory, which was already a mess, Dawn Outpost was still in the same state as it was when it was first completed decades ago, so much so that she initially risked her life to collect the corpses of the residents, completely forgetting that she was the one who gave the dead soldiers issued that inhumane order.

When Zaaria's face gradually distorted in the endless nightmares and flashbacks, she remembered the numerous crimes she had committed, the blood debt that could not be washed away by more than a hundred confessions.

Being able to decipher the secret of the dream device alone in such a state of being on the verge of collapse, or even in a state of collapse, even with the help of the remaining memories of the past, Monote felt ashamed that his ability was far inferior to that of Saaria, who bluntly said that The doctor who claims to be the envoy of God is indeed an outstanding scientist.

As for how to deal with the dream device, Yang Tianyi thought for a long time, stared at the clear watery pupils of the woman in front of him and asked: "Do you think the group should bury this dangerous technology forever, or carry it forward?"

Realizing that the leader was testing herself, Monote pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head silently, saying that she was a pure scientist and that such major decisions that would affect the entire group and even the future of human civilization in the Elysium world should not be made by herself.

"Memory is not something that can be played with casually. If I were Saaria, I would choose to forget this incident forever and treat it as a special existence separated from reality."

After muttering a few words to himself, Yang Tianyi supported his chin with both hands, looked beyond Monote, and looked out the window at the busy scene in Guanghan Palace, secretly lost in thought.

"Before the specific plan is released, you and your team can continue to conduct experiments on the sleep device, but it must be kept confidential. Unless I have personally given permission, no one is allowed to access the information about the sleep device. Of course, confidentiality is required The Xingshu and the group's agents will be in charge, so you don't need to worry too much."

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Yang Tianyi signaled to Mengote that she could go about her work, while he would personally award medals to several heroes who had made great contributions to the archaeological incident and swipe them in front of the media's cameras. Increase your presence and the group's presence.

It would be great if it could attract a wave of immigrants to Guanghan Palace.
