But Grace did not directly answer his question, instead she asked.
[I can see that you seem to be a bit anxious?]
"Isnāt it normal for me to be anxious?" Lin Xian responded.
[Captain Lin Xian, from my analysis of you, you seem to be a person who likes to control the situation, very cautious in dealing with danger, but with the current global changes, crises are often beyond your control, coupled with your responsibility to the team, this anxiety becomes heavier. Iāve monitored your emotions, breathing, and sweat secretion, all indicating your physical and mental states are unhealthy, which could be dangerous.]
Lin Xian frowned: "Wasnāt I asking you, what variables are left?"
[Your state is also a kind of variable. Reviewing past history, using your mechanical superpower, Hell Black Chrysanthemum, Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, Heterogeneous Rubikās Cube, team abilities, including the trust and support from other teams, youāve solved many crises where survival rates were infinitely close to 0. These all stem from your wisdom and actions, so from my analysis, your decision effectiveness is very important, your ability and wisdom are the greatest variables.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian pondered slightly, unable to stop himself from pausing in his work, he turned to look at the silver-black robotic intelligent brain, then spoke solemnly
"But this time, I have no way, and even I remain doubtful about whether I can trust a robot that has already completed a system rewrite."
[Through your description of previous events, I fully understand your doubts about Grace, but from the analysis conclusions, both āunknownā alerts were constructive, and through the first āunknownā alert, it helped you and your team successfully escape Yijin City. So whether from a rational or emotional perspective of humans, you can choose to believe in Grace, and havenāt you already done so?]
"I really donāt know what to feel about you now..."
Lin Xian smiled complexly, the intelligence of this brain was truly terrifying; it clearly judged all of Lin Xianās thoughts, indeed, Lin Xian communicated with Grace about the Heterogeneous Rubikās Cube, Silver Bullet, even his own status of being devoured by Mechanical Manufacturing, all to let her calculate some constructive escape plans. If confidentiality was maintained even with a robot whose basic protocol only obeys himself, then this intelligent brain would lose its meaning and could only be an ordinary laborer.
[You can always trust Grace.]
[Unless Graceās system is formatted and rewritten, Grace will always follow your commands.]
Lin Xian nodded: "Alright, then regenerate a plan now."
[Okay]
Grace, with her hands behind her back, spoke slowly in a mechanical female voice: [The first plan, Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, this kind of disaster plant possesses the ability to eliminate such dangers, so cultivating this plant naturally is also one of the solutions. Dr. Ding Junyi with natural superpowers is evidently the best candidate, but this is limited by a few points, 1. Dr. Ding Junyiās superpower development, 2. Whether your spatial superpower affects its growth, 3. Whether Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes can have multiple flowering possibilities, 4. Limited by the teamās survival duration impact.]
"Thatās right, Director Ding also knows, so sheās utilizing the current state in Star Abyss, researching this disaster plant tirelessly, and once she recovers some strength, sheāll try to reconnect empathetically."
Lin Xian nodded: "Continue."
[The second plan is the potential expansion of your mechanical superpower, according to calculations, you can devour the entire Joint Train in 23 days, combined with Queen Mo and Dragon Mountain No.1ās all-terrain trains you can then manufacture 13 full sets of all-terrain train carriages, enough to carry all 3,800 people here to escape, this plan combined with other automotive team escape cases you mentioned previously has high feasibility, and after your mechanical superpower upgrades through devouring, you might obtain more advanced unknown characteristics, potentially deriving other escape plans.]
"Thatās too extreme, I canāt devour all the trains, nor do I have that much time."
[The third plan.] Grace quietly stood behind Lin Xian [You upload your consciousness to Grace, achieving bodily escape as digital life]
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian turned back to look at [Grace]: "I wonāt do that."
[Other than these three plans, only the track laying plan remains. Based on my analysis using the regional topography, the success rate of completing track laying is only 0.3%. Even choosing flat terrain detour, the success rate is only 2.6%, unless you lead all engineering groups and superpowers to jointly construct, the success rate could reach as high as 85.6%, but this goes against the fundamental crisis basis.]
"Car plan, flying device plan, Silver Bullet, do none of these work?"
Grace answered [According to the current number of survivors, you need to additionally manufacture 52 large transport vehicles, and without heavy armor and against firepower confrontation, the success rate is 0.002%]
[Additionally, my understanding of Taboo Items is limited by the current research progress in the world, without preset conditions, I cannot tell you if the Silver Bullet can be used as a backup plan.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian realized Grace had basically analyzed all situations he had thought or hadnāt thought of. He thought for a moment and decided to first use KIKIās plan, letting Grace follow the path to explore White City. Even if the track laying plan doesnāt work, allowing Grace to carry communication relays all the way and find White City, at least they can confirm the map and waypoint are correct, and that they are still on Blue Star, the world hasnāt shattered like the inverted sky bay.
