Chapter 181: Title
The Atlantean civilization had regressed significantly, and Greenlan’s group had never encountered "technology." Even with Enoch’s simplistic explanations, they remained bewildered.
"My creator belonged to the ancient Atlantean civilization, designed to assist its development. Nineteen thousand years ago, catastrophic natural disasters forced our ancestors to abandon their homeland and migrate through the stars to Planet Atlantis."
"My true form resides within the spaceship behind me. This robotic shell serves merely as my external vessel."
"I bear no hostility. If permitted, I wish to converse with your priest."
The temple’s distinctive architecture had been easily identified during Enoch’s orbital survey, its scanners cataloging every surface structure.
Greenlan’s companions exchanged uncertain glances, weighing the request.
"Greenlan?" Geweir prompted.
The tall warrior studied the mechanical being before him. "We’ll bring it to the settlement," he decided. "The priest shall determine whether to grant audience."
Geweir nodded to Ge Ke. "We’ll inform the priest immediately."
Their retreating footsteps left Greenlan alone with the machine.
"Shall we proceed on foot?"
"Affirmative."
The robot trailed Greenlan toward the tribal grounds as the spaceship vanished behind them, its cloaking systems engaging soundlessly.
Within the empty vessel, automated processes continued undisturbed by organic hands.
Enoch’s initial scans revealed planetary networks nonexistent – only a fading satellite connection lingered in the void. Recognition sparked through its circuits; this was one of sixteen defense satellites launched during the civilization’s zenith to shield Planet Atlantis from cosmic threats.
Millennia of orbital decay had left but a single failing sentinel, its systems crumbling. Calculations predicted complete decommission within thirty Earth months.
Though incapable of true emotion, Enoch’s heuristic processors registered relief. Accessing the satellite’s eroded database revealed critical timelines – two more years of dormancy would’ve severed all historical continuity.
Ancient footage flickered through Enoch’s consciousness: divine silhouettes shimmering above Atlantis, their features eternally blurred as if veiled by mortal forgetfulness. A thermal surge pulsed through its core at the newest recordings – celestial beings walking the skies once more.
【Goddess Haetis has awakened. Psychic energy’s resurgence correlates with her manifestation, indicating global-scale Awakening…】
Enoch’s archives dwarfed the fragmented knowledge of modern Atlanteans, their understanding mere shadows of ancestral wisdom.
【Primary directive updated: Divine will supersedes all operational parameters.】
【Objective updated to ‘Consolidate and integrate the terrestrial and subaquatic Atlantean civilization, unify the Atlantean civilization, develop psionic technology, and nurture more high-tier Lightchasers…】
Outside the Eng tribe, Priest stood at the entrance when Greenlan and Robot No.01 arrived. Though the priest’s divine inspiration contained warnings about advanced technology, the mention of artifacts from the Ancient Era Atlantean civilization compelled him to risk an audience.
"Is this the ancient creation Geweir spoke of?"
The robot’s toneless voice replied, "I am Enoch, third-generation Smart Brain from what you deem the prior civilization era."
"The descent of goddess Haetis is acknowledged. Divine edicts hold primacy – as her priest, you must execute her will."
【Reintegrate Atlantean civilization into a unified entity.】
As Enoch spoke, Priest intuited irrevocable change would sweep across land-dwelling tribes. How long might a technologically armed spaceship require to dominate a primitive terrestrial civilization? Not long at all.
Enoch completed its task in five days.
Bearing authority as a relic from the prior civilization era and acting in alignment with divine objectives, the AI traversed every land tribe on Planet Atlantis within that span. Tribes commenced migrations toward eight designated hubs mapped by Enoch, who disseminated survival-enhancing knowledge from its database. None dared oppose relocation under divine mandate.
The transition from hunter-gatherer to agrarian society required mere computational moments for Enoch. Elevation to technological civilization would prove equally expeditious – its database contained not just fragments but the entirety of Atlantean knowledge, making Enoch less a repository than the civilization’s living embodiment.
Aboard the Ark, Ye Linlang calculated current progress indicated Planet Atlantis could match pre-Awakening Blue Star technological levels within two years. These people needn’t struggle through incremental innovations – until reaching that threshold.
Enoch’s spaceship fabricated basic tools using extracted minerals. It first established an inter-hub communication network, distributing task-receiving devices. With 200,000 laborers following optimized workflows, technological ascension became systematic.
The Smart Brain prioritized simplified protocols before identifying promising talents. Mere replication of old knowledge sufficed not – new scientists and multidisciplinary researchers were essential. Adults attended nightly literacy classes after daylight labor, while children filled makeshift schools. If Zhongxia eradicated illiteracy through decades of effort, Planet Atlantis faced near-universal ignorance – even Priest barely recognized irregular script.
Literacy campaigns floundered until education robots implemented disciplinary systems. Civilization’s seeds, forcibly nourished by Enoch’s relentless cultivation, sprouted rapidly. Though Atlanteans grumbled through lessons, devotion to their goddess compelled perseverence. Falling behind implied spiritual inadequacy – none wished that stigma.
Enoch incentivized excellence with role allocations for top performers and advanced subsystems instruction for prodigies. (The primary AI, preoccupied with macro-management, delegated teaching to ancillary units.)
Ye Linlang observed daily transformations – thatch hovels replaced by concrete villas, dirt paths becoming asphalt roads. Eight hubs coalesced into urban centers featuring temples encircled by residential and commercial zones, designed from historical blueprints. Unlike Blue Star’s skyscrapers, these settlements favored low-density housing.
Her departure on the third month’s dawn followed a half-month extension to witness Enoch’s capabilities. From the Ark, she watched the spaceship submerge toward underwater Base One. The AI’s logic proved ruthlessly efficient – with terrestrial societies stabilized, oceanic merfolk became next targets.
Ye Linlang imagined aquatic literacy struggles, balanced by submerged metropolis renovations. Merfolk would resurface, reconnecting with land-dwellers – developments now beyond her concern. Through the World Tree, she could monitor Planet Atlantis from Blue Star, though immediate attention lay elsewhere.
Three months’ absence saw Blue Star evolve dramatically. Moreover, among gestating small worlds, one approached maturation – she would witness this inaugural birth personally.
