Eternal Cauldron Project(永生爐計劃) is a plan for the Solarians to survive, initiative and the background of the Nine Sols (Game)
Substance[]
Beginning[]
The project was initiated by Yi, one of the members of Tiandao Council, to rescue still-surviving Solarians at a time when the Tianhuo virus long in Penglai has killed countless Solarians and is on the verge of complete collapse of their species.
Process[]
First, Selects 99,999 Solarians who have not been infected with the Tianhuo virus or who show symptoms of slow spread and take refuge in a safe zone to avoid the spread of the infection.
Second, Solarians will gather in the safe zone are dormant in the Vital Sanctum to prevent the progression of the virus infection, while sending their souls into the Soulscape System to maintain smooth brain activation.
Third, Maintaining a Soulscape System that will accommodate all Solarians that will be accessed through system requires enormous computing energy, and while personal brains are optimal for extracting this energy, and the Person's brain is optimal for extracting this energy, but it is too unethical. However, it can be solved by capturing and breeding Apeman, an intelligent creature that lives on the Pale Blue Planet located in the solar system over 500 light years, periodically harvesting the brain and extracting energy from them.
Fourth, Interstellar warping to the solar system over 500 light-years requires tremendous power to carry out this process, which is possible by converting the energy accumulated in the Fusang Tree into power. However, it takes 500 years for the Fusang tree to re-accumulate as much energy as it takes to return to Penglai, so during that time, we repeat the above process to find an antidote to the Tianhuo virus.
Fifth, To implement the whole process, Kunlun Island, the sanctuary where traces and many legacies of the Fusang Guild created by Lear, and the Fusang trees take root and grow, will be converted into a space residence 'New Kunlun'.
Problem[]
However, there were many problems with this plan that were not considered, and the summary is as follows.
- For Taoist admirers, Kunlun Island has been criticized for making it a space enclave because it is the place where the great Fangshi Lear founded the Fangshi Guild and is a sanctuary where the Fusang Tree grows.
- When selecting passengers, the highest priority was given to the nobles first, and Nor could more people be saved because their accommodation space was wasted while they were loading private property.
- When selecting the next priority, the middle class, only non-infected people were selected in one household, and some families were separated from each other. At first, the vulnerable, including the poor, were not even given an opportunity. In addition, those who met the selection criteria, but those who followed Taoism refused to board, saying they could not go against the reason of life and death.
- As a result of the final inspection conducted before the launch of the Soulscape system, there were cases where the experienced person could not distinguish between virtual and reality, but it was applied without properly solving this problem. As a result, some of the passengers were unconscious, brain dead, or died while dormant during the project.
- Main AI was prepared to automatically manage and supervise New Kunlun's facilities to proceed with the above project, But before the project was implemented, internal divisions broke out within the council, resulting in the project's architecter being ousted from the council. Therefore, the council executives greatly reduced automatic management using AI and replaced it with manual management using manpower in adjusting the details. And all the replacement workers for this were Tianhuo virus infections that Eigong selected as a unit named Dusk Guardians to satisfy her desire to experiment.
Result[]
This project has resulted in innumerable deaths of innocent Apemen. Sadly, it has still ended in failure, as Eigong has infected the Fusang Tree prior to her death and that Tianhuo is a genetic disease.
