Chapter 1549 - Golovin Mental System (1/2)

Although the technological capability of Golovin could be centuries ahead of Earth today, he did not show the arrogance of a higher civilization when he encountered a lower civilization, nor did his emotions change in the slightest. After he listened to Jiang Chen’s request, he thought for a few seconds before he said a vocabulary that Jiang Chen had never heard before.

“Golovin Mental System.”

Jiang Chen processed the vocabulary for a second, then asked subconsciously.

“What is that?”

“A system that allows us to think together.” There was a look of reminiscence in Golovin’s pupils as if a switch that had been sealed in dust for a long time was turned on again. “In the era with scarce resources, the word efficiency had been given a higher level of meaning. Every gram of steel must be used in the right place, every rivet must be sent to the right place, every citizen is a screw on a Soviet chariot.”

Jiang Chen stared at Golovin for a long time and a word suddenly popped out in his head, he blurted out subconsciously.

“Clone?”

He thought of the clone army that attacked the NAC on the subway line of Shangjing in the apocalypse, under the command of General Yegor. Although till the end, he still hadn’t figured out how much a clone fighter would cost, judging from how they treated the clones, the cost was likely to be extremely cheap.

“Yes.” Golovin nodded, but then shook his head right after, “but it’s not all right.”

After a pause, he continued.

“Human resources in the traditional sense are no longer applicable to the condition in Soviet at that time, so we set our sights on many technologies that were once considered taboo. The first thing that came to mind was the technology of cloning. We quickly acquired a young and strong workforce through Petri dishes. Even after suffering a devastating EMP and all automated machinery had failed, our workers can use a file and a hammer to strike out a power armor.”

“Is there such a big demand for labor in the twenty-second century? If it’s just a group of clones, what else can they do besides be cannon fodder on the battlefield?” Jiang Chen wondered.

In his understanding, the more developed the society, the higher level of automation in the production process, and the higher requirement for education in the labor force. Even if the Soviet Union obtained a huge labor force consisting of young adults through cloning, if the supporting educational resources did not keep up, it was not worthwhile.

“Of course, nothing can be achieved by just cloning humans,” Golovin said. “Traditional technology was combined with a concept that transcended the tradition. A brand-new technology and a concept, never been imagined before, was evolved. It was the Golovin Mental System.”

Golovin’s words made Jiang Chen suddenly think of Lin Lin and her two thousand younger sisters. Based on what she said, she and her sisters were connected by a network through a kind of mutual mind connection.

Perhaps it was Dr. Lin who borrowed the design concepts of the Soviets. In short, the Golovin Mental System made him feel a sense of deja vu. And Golovin’s next words also confirmed Jiang Chen’s speculation.

“Every cloned person implanted in the Golovin Mental System will no longer have independent thinking ability or personality, but will only serve as the carrier of the system. We no longer need to brainwash them with news, movies, and music. They are born to serve us, with a unified belief and a great will…Here we refer to the Soviets, we have not forgotten those great and dark years, but we just don’t want to think of it,” Golovin said.

“After countless version updates, the current Golovin Mental System has been given more meaning by us. First, we redefined the meaning of life and deleted useless thoughts such as doctrines and dogmas from our system. Then, it’s culture, science, military… Until now, all the aspects that we can think of have been perfected.”

Jiang Chen looked at Golovin in a daze as he was speechless at this moment.

He never expected that the CCCP would take such an unexpected route. They stuffed a group of clones who were instilled with communism into the colonization ship, let them serve as the carrier of belief, to spread their belief… But after he thought about it again, it made sense. There was not another group more suitable to spread their belief than a group of clones without the ability to think.
